Why Why?

I'm So CUTE !!

" I wan tat Big Bowl of Nice Noodles"

"SobS, I wan to Swim !!"

" Go Away Daddy !! I can't see the BIKINI Babes !"

15 Sep 09, Tues. Hazy

Finally, I'm on OFF and Shawn is too ! But Shawn as usual need to go for some irritating, time wasting meeting till 2.30pm. So I brought Nigel along with Iswati for another swimming and massage session. Nigel Swam for 1 hour !!

We went to East Coast Big Splash. Nigel was really cranky. He kept crying till We got to the seaside. He love looking at the waves and got really excited. But on the way home, he kept crying in the car !! He really hates car rides. I wonder why .. Sighsz...

Nigel is 4 Months Old !! A Day at the beach !!

Nigel and his Nai Nai aka Shawn's Mum

I love to Blow Bubbles !!

Nigel and his Bumbo and His Taggie !

Nigel Is 4 Mths Old on 08/09/09.. He had a long swimming session. Almost an hour !! His Nai Nai and Ye Ye came over to see him..

Time really Fly. He can flip from his tummy back to his back. He's in no hurry to learn to flip from his back to his tummy as he hates laying on his tummy. I wonder will he ever learn to crawl then .. Hmmzz .. He has grow and learn a lot since. It's been a great to be around him while he learn and grow. But now I'm back at work, Life is sadz. Time with him now is so precious. I wonder how much of his "First" I will miss.. Woes of a working mother in the Retail line. I Need a change of Job.. Any reccomendations ??

Taken on 11.09.09. A nice relaxing Family Day at East Coast White Town Old Coffee. Since most baby chairs provided outside are for older babies, I decided to bring his Bumbo along. A lot easier to manage him. He's happily sitting down while Shawn and I can enjoy ourselves too. Dun have to take turns to carry him.

4th Month Doctor Visit.. First Visit to Ye Ye's House

05/09/09, Sat, Humid

Shawn and I happen to on Off together so we decided to bring forward Nigel's 4th month Doctor visit to today instead of on the 11th. Brought Nigel to swimming early and of cos had a massage too. Came back home to let him take a nap but instead he was wide awake. Since my car is "off peak", we could only leave the house after 3pm. Thought it's not really legal to drive him in a 2 seater, we decide to just do it instead of taking cab. It's really hard to get a cab during weekends.

As usual, Shawn's mum was there at the clinic too. Nigel is 6.06kg and 66cm !! Wow ! He's really tall. He had his Oral Vaccination for Rotavirus. Poor Boy had to go thru 2 jabs, his 5 in 1 and Pneumococcal. He wasn't in pain.. he was looking at the Dr Teoh even thought we were trying to distract him. He was ok with the first jab then suddenly decided to scream. After a while, he was ok. Dr Teoh mention that once I stop breast feeding, he will recommend that I get some jabs too !! Alamak, I hate injections. I will have to bring my blood test reports which I did during my pregnancy. He said I might need to get the measles vaccination again as the previous one which I did when I was in Primary school will last only 20 yrs... So I'm overdue for one. Also he recommend I get one for cervical cancer. SobS.. Me hate needles. Anyway, He gave the green light to start feeding Nigel cereals and gave us a lot of samples. We are to replace one meal with cereals and to feed him papaya too.

We drop by Shawn's parents' place. To my surprise, Nigel didn't cry even though he was in a strange place. He was happily playing with his Ye Ye !! The last time Nigel saw him was more than a month ago ! And Nigel Hates strange places plus strangers. My mum says they have affinity. I even manage to capture a great photo. I really should bring Nigel over more often. But everytime I will to do it, something happens.

Sighz, Back to work again tomolo.. Miss Nigel.. Sighs.. Hate it !!

Separation Anxiety

Juz feeling sianz. Juz receive sms that Tomoloz have to report to work at 945am. Sighz. Rob me of 1 hour with Nigel. Damn irritated.

Spend one day with Nigel today. Went for his swimming, then drop by compass point cos need to send out on Beanie Pillow. He need me to hug him then he will sleep.. Dun wan Sarong anymore. Maybe scared I will run away. He hates people saying Bye Bye to him now.. Poor Nigel.. and Poor Mummy.

Last Day of ML .. Work Work Work ...

01 Sep 09, Humid Tues

28/08/09.. The last day of my Maternity Leave. Wanted to spend it meaningfully by going for a nice family studio shot. Hua Xia gave their members one FOC studio photo shot. Little Nigel and Shawn Daddy was wearing matching outfits, courtesy of Moi. Shawn daddy's shirt "Old Block", Nigel's shirt "Chip of the old Block" ... It was a birthday gift to Shawn (Suggested by my 2nd sis). Nigel's Cap is a gift from Auntie Gladys (She's selling them)...

Luckily my Mum and Pam came along. They manage to coax Nigel into posing for the camera. Got a few pretty nice shots But I think some of the photos I took is nicer lei. And Of Cos, We bought 10 other photos.. Price..Hmmzz... Hehehe .... Will be getting them 1 to 2 weeks later..

Work Wise.. Wat can I really say. Not been Working since Mid-Jan. Worst still, started my first day on a busy sat. I was so blur. So many new products, systems and SOPs to follow. I was thrown to the Sales Floor only after less than one hour of reading and studying. Luckily I still remember a few stuff, the rest, use my common sense. Had to "smoke" customers thru some stuff.. Had to distract customers with other topics while searching for Info on the Singtel Webby. I had a big headache whole day !! Had to rush to level 4 nursery room from B1 to express my milk.. Had onli 20 mins to eat after that. Luckily Shawn took leave so he came and collected the milk for 2 days. I think it's due to stress and tiredness, I had a big Drop in my milk supply.. Morning pump onli abt 150ml to 180ml, lunch break about 60ml to 80ml, night pump abt 150ml to 180ml also. Tired cos had to wake up at 7am to pump, reach my mum's at 9am to accompany Nigel and leave at 10am for work. Worst still.. reached home onli abt 1230am on Sat. Brought Nigel home, he was really cranky. Didn't get to sleep much then back to work at 1pm till 1030pm on Sun..Sighs.. Really wonder how I can keep this up ! After work, I still have to pack the Beanie Pillows for delivery. I did that on Sun and today. Plus looking after Nigel. Shawn Daddy tried to help but he's not really good with Nigel and can't pack goods. Plus he is forever meeting friends, irritating company events.. Like today, his boss birthday. It's 1.46am and he is still not back. I had to pack the goods, do up the invoices, look after Nigel whom doesn't wan to sleep today. Juz manage to coax his to sleep onli. He is super cranky after I started work.. Is it cos he misses me ???

Nigel and Kyan Kor Kor

(Let's Hold Hands !)

Nigel went to Kyan Kor Kor's Grandma's house for a gathering with Stephy Jie Jie on 22 Aug 09. Nigel was very cranky. He's teething plus he doesn't strange places and people and maybe cos it's the 7th month.. Poor Mummy had a hard time cos he kept crying. In the end, Auntie Pam had to come to pick Nigel and Mummy up halfway thru..

Nigel loves to Sit ..

My Notti Lil Nigel has been really Cranky these few days. He's sort of sticking to me. Around me, he's uber notti. Doesn't wan to lay down. Wants to be in a sitting position all the time and be near me. He's refusing to sleep in the sarong when I'm around. I had to carry him and pat him to sleep !! Or pat him to sleep in the cot.. SighS.. Problematic.. Tried leaving him to cry but he's pretty persistant. He was crying till all the tears was rolling down his lil eyes. My heart melted, wat to do.. Plus he's also irriated by his teething too.. SighS... Going back to work soonz. My last weekend with Lil Nigel Boy.. Mummy will miss you !! SobSsSSssSss

Lil Nigel Can Sit !!

On the 14th August, Friday, a milestone for Lil Nigel. I was burping Lil Nigel on my lap, I realise he can sit on his own for a while without me supporting him !! Yesterday, at my mum's, he manage to sit on his own too on the mattress about 30 seconds before tipping to one side !! Wow !! Now he can sit well on chairs with backsupport without tipping to one side for a pretty long time..

Insomnia and Worries ...

13th August, Hot and Hazy

4am !!
Having insomnia tonight, can't sleep at all, been tossing and turning in bed for 2 hours already. Despite catching only about 4 hrs of broken sleep here and there for the past few days, Sighz.. Nigel been cranky for the past few nights after the vaccination. He's been crying in his sleep.

Why Insomnia ? Maybe I'm too tired to sleep, maybe it's the hot weather (Haze AgAin) but definitely due to having too much thoughts going thru my mind. Another 15 more days with Nigel and I'm going back to work. Pretty much worried about how I'm going to fare at work as I have not been working for more than 7 months, also about expressing milk at work. Worried about my Internet Businesses. But mostly about Lil Nigel...
Worried about the amount of time I can spent with him
Worried about the amount of time Shawn and I can spent together with him as Family
Worried whether I have the time to educate him properly
Worried if Nigel will be sad that Mummy and Daddy is always not around
Worried tat Nigel will not be close to me
Sighs... and a lot more... Best thing will be to change my job and of cos my line of work actually. But now with the economic depression, it's not easy. Thinking of taking part time courses on relating to Children Education, but how to make time for it and yet spent time with Nigel ?? Best solution, Win ToTo !! Hahaha !!

Nigel is 3 months old !! PD visit.

"Sweet" SmiLe !

Nigel and Grandpa and Grandma

Grumpy boy and his grandpa

LiL Nigel Boy Boy is 3 months old yesterday. My Mum, Dad, Pam, Terence and of cos Me and Shawn went with Nigel to Airport T3 for a nice dinner at Xin Wang Cafe. We brought along his Bumbo chair so he can sit by himself and we all can eat instead of taking turns to carry him.

Nigel also went for his vaccination earlier on at Dr Teoh. He's a brave Lil Boy. Scream only during the Injection. Stop right after the injection was done. In fact, His mood seems better after the injection. He was smiling and toking to Shawn's Mama aka grandmama. He's 5.45kg and 61cm now. A bit light still but full of tough muscles, thanks to all the swimming he's been doing.

Another 20 more days with him and I have to go back to work. SighS..........

This is so Digusting !!

I have been trying to reduce my milk supply since will be starting work on 29/08/09. So far, it worked. The amount I express out drop by half, the interval also increase to 6 hrs. I'm sad and happy. Happy cos it will be easier to express out at work. Sad cos soon Nigel have to be on partial Breastmilk, have to use Formula liaoz. Sighz.. Definitely will miss my Lil boy. Plus ending off work so latez, I guess there will be days where Nigel don't get to see me at all. Really feel sad thinking about it. Haiz..

Also thinking how I'm going to cope with him. Shawn do try to help but he's not good at quite a lot of stuff. He can't bathe him even though before Nigel was born, Shawn volunteered to bathe Nigel. Shawn has a big problem carrying Nigel, he can't carry Nigel upright thus he can't burp Nigel either !! Plus Shawn is a big scatterbrain, till now, he dun noe wat to pack when we bring Nigel out !! Sighz.

Little Joey ..

29.07.09 Wed. Sunny

Taken this after Shawn and I brought Nigel to a Nice massage at Hua Xia (Punggol Plaza). The Lil Boy refuse to sit in his stroller so I had to carry him in the sarong carrier. He actually fell asleep in that position !
