Mommy Yiau

A blog about everything that revolves around me – as a mommy, as a wife, as a daughter, as an employee etc etc

Mommy, focus on driving please

Dillon is a very talkative child (like me, yeah I know it!) and even when I was driving, he will keep asking me questions or point at something and ask me to look at. At one time I told him to stop doing that:

Me: Dillon, can you please stop asking me so many questions while I was driving?
Dillon: Why?
Me: Because Mommy is driving and I need to focus, otherwise I will hit other cars, ok?
Dillon: Ok……..

Then one day, when both of us are travelling in the car again:

Me: Next Tuesday you have spelling test right?
Dillon: Yes, Tuesday.
Me: Ok let’s do a revision now, you spell for me the word…..
Dillon: You don’t ask me so may questions, focus on driving your car please, later you hit other cars.
Me: ………………… (I’m really speechless!)

Where was I?

Dillon was looking at our wedding portrait hang on the wall:

Dillon: That is Mommy and Papa.
Me: Yes right.
Dillon: When did you took the photo?
Me: The time when we got married
Dillon: How come I was not in the photo?
Me: Ermm…..you were not around at that time my dear.
Dillon: Where was I? (angry) Why you didn’t bring me along?
Me: Mommy has not give birth to you, after we took this photo and got married, then only you came to this world (seriously I don’t know if he can digest all this….)
Dillon: Then why didn’t you give birth to me earlier then?
Me: (quickly switching the topic) Don’t worry we’ll bring you and meimei for a family portrait next time ok?

Phew………it’s so mind challenging to conversate with kids.

Kaith’s birthday new look

I can’t believe I forgot to blog about Kaith’s 3 years old birthday, which was on 3rd July last month, I’ m such a lousy mommy.

Anyway, as usual we did not have any party but just a simple cake cutting at home with the family. I’ve got her a pretty Black Forest cake and she loves it! So as Dillon, who can’t wait to blow the candles on behalf.

Oh yes, not forgetting about Kaith’s curly hair look on her birthday. :)

Love you sweetheart……….

p/s: No I didn’t perm her hair la, it was the result of tying up her hair in pig tails for hours before this…..

Mommy’s recent updates

It’s been so many months I did not write a post for my blog, this is by far the longest blog break I ever had, I think most of my regular blog readers would have stopped reading my blog for some time already…..

Anyway, as mentioned in previous post, I went to Bangkok for 2 weeks training for my new job after CNY and then I started work in early March. My new office is at The Gardens. So I can always go for some quick  shopping during lunch time but it also means my wallet is getting thinner….

After that in early April, my hubby and I went for a trip to Bali (yeah…just the 2 of us ^_^) and we had a great relaxing holiday there. I’ll try to post some photos an write about the trip in my next post soon.

Dillon & Kaith are both fine, still very active and talkative. Kaith always tell me that she wants to go to school with her gor gor, while Dillon also “promise” me that he will take good care of mei mei at school….. hahaha. Anyway, Kaith is only turning 3 by July so I plan to enroll her only in Jan 2011.

Dillon & Kaith

It feels good to start blogging again, hopefully I can keep this up and continue to write more regularly from now on. Welcome back to my blog readers. :)

Kaith was hospitalized

Last Sunday morning, Kaith wasn’t feeling well in the morning about 9am after she took her milk, actually she has been coughing since a week ago and she’s still not fully recovered yet.

When I touched her body, she was very hot and was crying badly. I didn’t even remember to check her temperature or give her any fever medicine, I just quickly grab her and wanted to bring her to the clinic. Before I could open my gate, she was suddenly having fits and I went totally panic!! My mother-in-law helped to hold her and then we rush to the nearest Hospital Ampang. Kaith was falling asleep on the way to hospital and I’m totally terrified that she will go coma. I keep calling her name and she opened her eyes a bit, and then closed again…..I almost cried……

When we arrived at the hospital, she was sent to emergency room and doctor said she was having high fever of 40°C, which is why she would have fits. The moment I see they poke her hand with needle to take her blood for blood test and she was crying her lungs out, I can’t hold my tears anymore…. But the good thing was, her temperature came down after we admitted her, and luckily it didn’t rise again the whole night until the next day. So after one night observation, Kaith was discharged in late afternoon on Monday.

All of us were so terrified by this incident but we were glad that Kaith is alright now.

Kaith

Poor Kaith……she was complaining that her right hand is painful and hence she looked sad…….

In hospital suit

Kaith in her pink hospital suit, she was happier when I brought her to the play room….. at least get to watch TV and play some toys.

Dillon’s 1st TVC shooting experience

I was thrilled when I got a call from agency that Dillon is selected for a TV Commercial job last week, this is his 1st job actually.

Make up

Dillon scratched his nose the day before, hence needs some concealer to cover the scar…….

It’s a Chinese New Year TVC sponsored by Sports Toto, and the storyline is about 3 generations in a family, so Dillon’s role is one of the grandsons.

We have to gather at the venue by 6-6.30am and so I have to wake him up at 5am and start the journey early. It was great that Dillon was not cranky at all and in fact he was very excited about the shooting.

Happy boy

My happpy little boy……

Although it’s his 1st experience in TVC shooting, but he did pretty well, he is very friendly and cooperative, he is not shy and easy to mix around with everybody, even the camera crew.

1st scene

This was the 1st scene we shoot, and it was NG for more than 15 times, everybody jump until their legs are sore……lol

The shooting ends around 5.30pm, almost 12 hours in total duration and I felt so tired and sleepy, but Dillon was still so energetic and active, I wonder where he gets the energy from? (but soon after we get in the car, he fell into deep sleep….)

This TVC will be aired on NTV7  a week before the Chinese New Year, but you might not notice my little boy as he is so tiny and his appearance may be just few seconds on screen, hahaha…….but anyhow, this is a great experience for him, and also for mommy!

Family trip to Singapore

This is soooo……..backdated.

Last December, we had a trip to Singapore with my sister’s family, my brother’s family and my mom, all in 7 adults and 6 kids. Bringing Dillon and Kaith to a trip isn’t easy at all, no joke.

The trip took place from 9th – 13th December and we travelled in 2 cars. Since we have a big group, we decided to stay at our uncle’s place in Johor and visit to Singapore on day trip basis.

On the 1st day we went to Sentosa Island. The last time I visited Sentosa was about 20 years ago, of course everything look totally different to me now. Right after having lunch, we took the luge ride and skyride at Imbiah, at first I’m not keen to play at all but since Dillon wanted to play so I have to tag along. Indeed it was fun especially the luge ride, it’s quite exciting when you do cornering.

The luge ride and skyride was fun. But Dillon was scared when he looked down from the skyride and keep holding me tight.

After that, we spent most of our time at the Underwater World and the kids really enjoyed it. Well, I didn’t really have the chance to look at each and every species because most of the time my eyes were glued to Dillon and Kaith, it was so crowded there and I don’t want to loose my sight on them.

Sweetie Kaith was posing in front of a beautiful aquarium, she loves taking photos nowadays.

A bunch of happy kids – my niece Ashley, Kaith, Dillon and my nephew Yang Yang

The last stop we went to was Pahlawan beach, it was close to sunset when we reached there, so there was very less people around on the beach and we all just relaxed on the deck chair having beer and snacks, while the kids making their sand castle.

DSC02611

It was the 1st time Kaith been to the beach, she refused to walk on the sand with her bare feet and cling to me like a Koala bear……lol

DSC02697

Kaith was lying on the deck chair to enjoy the relaxing moment.

The next day we visited the Singapore Zoo. After having the “experience” with the kids on the previous day, I rented a wagon there to pull the kids along. It was indeed a right thing I have done because it gaves me so much relief, without having to chase for them and worried that they will go out of my sight.

In fact this is the first time I’m visiting the Singapore Zoo, I used to hear people saying that, you won’t want to go to Zoo Negara after you have been to Singapore Zoo, and now I understand why……

DSC02759

Dillon and Kaith like the wagon very much, so does mommy….

Dillon and the “monkeys”

We also went to the Night Safari later on, but I found that it’s not worthwhile for us as we only took a round trip on the tram and that’s it. I reckon that it will be so much of fun if we can walk around on our feet, explore and spend time to observe the animals at night, it’s going to be a totally different experience. Too bad we can’t do it this time as we have young children and elderly around, plus everybody was too tired on the day visit. I’d definitely visit the Night Safari again the next time I come.

Happy holidays to all

2009 is coming to an end pretty soon, and in the past one year, I have spent much lesser time on my blog so I might have let some of you down as you didn’t see fresh post on my blog as frequent as it used to be (was busy on this blog and this blog too). I have not been constantly reading many of your blogs as well but I hope we could still stay in touch.

I hereby wishing all my friends and blog visitors a happy holiday season and all the best for the coming year.

Meery Christmas

A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all!

Dillon’s 4th Birthday

This is another backdated post, mommy has been busy with the family trip that had just happened last week (pictures of the trip shall be out soon…hopefully…)

Dillon celebrated his birthday on 6th December but we had the cake cutting a day earlier because daddy had a wedding photo shooting job on the 6th.

While waiting for everybody to be back, daddy took some pictures for gor gor and mei mei.

DSC09662

I really think girls are much better in posing, look at mei mei Kaith, she is very sensitive to camera and likes to pose very much.

DSC09685

This pose got the feel like a couple taking wedding studio picture, Dillon is so cool….. HAHA LOL

DSC09721

We didn’t do anything special, just a simple cake cutting session for Dillon, mei mei Kaith and thier cousin Joey was present as well.

Mayter’s Annual Concert

This is really backdated.

It was Dillon’s school concert day earlier this month on 1st November (Sunday), hubby and I brought Kaith along to witness our little boy perform on stage for the first time.

Dillon was in a Ben10 boy set, and from the notice I received, I’m supposed to put “heavy make-up” on him but I didn’t, firstly because I don’t like it and most importantly I myself didn’t even have any eye shadows or blusher to do the make-up, so I just let it be.

Before the concert starts, there were a few cute girls gathered at the entrance, waving hands to Dillon and calling his name. These girls are so sweet and I asked hubby to snap a picture of them with Dillon. However Dillon was very shy and that’s why his pose was so kaku and he couldnt’ smile. …LOL

DSC05950

Dillon was performing the “Pom Pom Dance” which was the 7th programon the itinerary. This was him during the performance, he did enjoy the dance and he was doing quite well.

DSC06161

DSC06158

But I really don’t like the heavy make-up that the teachers put on him, it makes my son looks funny loh, but every kid has to put on make-up, so that they are more photogenic and look better when in video? But if I have a choice, I still don’t like the make-up on my boy, girl I think is still fine.

After his performance, we took some more photos with his classmates. This is Ka Wai, his buddy and enemy in class, I’m saying that bcause they are the only 2 that always fight for things and argue in the class, but they also always want to stick to each other, even teacher separated them every time. What a love-and-hate relationship, hahaha LOL.

DSC06186

Another photo was taken with his girl classmate Khai Ling (actually only 2 girls in his class). Again, Dillon was very shy and he started biting his lips when we asked him to smile…… Poor thing, Dillon look so short when standing next to Khai Ling and I really wish that he will grow taller in the future.

DSC06234

Well amongst all the photos we took, my favourite is still this picture of Dillon and Kaith, they are now getting more cooperative in posing for photos.

Rest in peace…..

On our way back from office last Friday evening, we received a call that said hubby’s grandma had passed away. So last weekend we had been busy with the funeral.

Grandma didn’t really suffer from any sickness all this while. On the previous Monday morning, we couldn’t wake her up and we admitted her to the hospital the next day. Then on Friday, we decided to bring her home and 2 hours after she was discharged, she died peacefully on her own bed at home. I guess it was the best way to leave this world for an elderly….

I have been staying with grandma ever since I moved in to the family, at that time, grandma already had Alzheimer and it had gone from bad to worst. Although it feels sad that we have lost one of the family members but on the other hand, I’m happy for her because it’s a relief for her, finally…..

Grandma, may your soul rest in peace.

3 sick people….

Feeling20Sick

I have been very slow in updating new post in my blog recently, it’s not that I do not have anything to blog about, but I just didn’t have the time to do so. I also missed reading many of your blogs nowadays…….

Last week was really restless for me, I have to do some makeover to The Baby Bliss website, upload some new pictures to Pixmoments and went for a photo shooting job on Sunday morning, and coincidently I also received many orders on Bengkung and Biotrim over last week so I have a lot of packing and posting to do as well, it’s basically tired, tired, tired and tired.

At the same time, early last week Kaith was having fever and coughing and then followed by myself having the same sickness, and then the virus spread on to Dillon on Friday. At time I’m writing this, Kaith is recovering form coughing while Dillon is still having fever and I’m still feeling sick, feel like I can cough my lungs out.

I really hope all of us get well soon.

Dillon’s sinus problem

This is an update post on Dillon’s sinus problem.

I finally had to bring him to ENT specialist on the 4th October because his nose block problem got more serious even after using Oxy-nase. I brought him to Pantai Cheras to see Dr. Vivian Fernandez, because this is the nearest to my place, but I was lucky that he is a very good doctor.

Doctor did a check to Dillon’s ear, nose and throat and explained that the swelling of adenoid tissue actually caused the nose block. He gave 2 types of medicine for sinus together with antibiotic and he told me to continue using Oxy-nase.

2 days after taking the medicines, Dillon has recovered almost 80% and he can sleep well throughout the night, it was such a relief to me and my mother-in-law who takes care of him.

On the 10th October, we went back for a follow up check and thank god after a week of medication the adenoid tissue has shrunk. But in order to control the sinus, Dillon will need to continue the sinus medication for the next few months/years, Oxy-nase would only required as and when necessary. Doctor explained that this is an allergy and not sickness, so long term medication is needed until the child had outgrown it. However, the medication dosage can be reduced over time…….

So that’s the situation Dillon as of now, I don’t really like the idea of long term medication. I am thinking to bring Dillon to a Chinese sinsei after he finished his medication for a month or so but in the mean time, I’ll just let him continue the medication.

Thanks for the best wishes you all left in my previous post.
