Last Wednesday was a Barney Day for little Jewel.. It was raining heavily and the plan to watch The Barney show was a very impromptu thingy. In any case, I booked a cab and rushed to United Square with Jewel in the midst of the rain.
Oh my, it was so crowded even though there was another half hour before the show begins!!
Suddenly I thought of walking into Chocz n ordered a cuppa coffee and cake while having a great view seated down! Momentarily, I felt so smart!! Hahahaha
Jewel needed time to warm up ( just like Ja when he was young)! And by the time she was dancing, singing and waving at Barney, the show was over!! But this gal really did enjoy herself.
Guess being a mum of 3 means I have to have time together with each individual kids, to bring them out for a treat etc.. It really does work magic! We did that for Ja ( his beyblade competition) last week and now with Jew for her Barney treat.. This makes them feel special that daddy and mummy are spending time with them ALONE and at the same time, they also will think about their other siblings while they are out with us!
Never did I know that J3 also wants to 'spend quality time' with me!! That very night, my helper Jona discovered that his urine was stained with blood. We were shocked and scared and rushed him to KK children's emergency. Poor Josh was diagnosed with UTI ( suspected) and had to be warded.
The rest was history. We spent 4 days in KK and he was only discharged on Sunday. Throughtout this stay, mummy was so so tired. Though we opted for a Single bed room( as we had insurance to cover), it's just not the same as Gleneagles!
Everything in KK has to wait and wait and wait! Treatment only started 2 days later as we had to WAIT for the test results to confirm it's UTI. Waited for half a day for another set of results to be out before Josh was discharged. Upon approval, we waited for another hour before we can walk out of the hospital!!
Sigh, guess next time I will opt for Gleneagles if there is anything (God forbid!!)
Well, thank God it's finally over! Ja and Jew were so happy to see their baby back home again. They had been waiting and asking for Josh..
Those 4 days were one of the worst I experienced... To see Josh having needles and tubes poked into his little hands and feet.
Now whenever we put him down for diaper change, he would screamed his heart out! He must have thought it's another round of blood test again:( poor baby...
Drinking coffee at MOF now.. Catching up on my readings while waiting for time to pass.. Am reading this book by Myrna B. Shure
Will be fetching Ja n Ethan to watch Rapunzel later. Meanwhile both boys are playing beyblades at Ethan's place..
Poor Jew has to stay home though I really wish to bring her along.. This gal just refused to watch movies in the cinema cos she is scared of the darkness!! My mum said it's just like me when I was young and she brought me to watch 'Lao(3) Fu(1) Zi(3).. I was crying when Lao Fu Zi was being chased by a tiger n my mum had no choice but to carry me out! So embarrasing!!
Ran a few errands n settled banking matters.. I really feel like I m the Finance Minister, the Home Affairs, Communications n Transport, and Education Minister of the Tan family!!
It's good that iPhone has this blogger apps so I can pen down my thoughts n happenings whenever I m free! It's like writing a diary:)
Well yesterday we had a funtastic time at Duxton! The kids had a great time playing n dancing with uncle Handi's new X box! It was so entertaining that my mum wanted a set for her Christmas present!! Lol!
We shall see how long this fire will last for her:)
Relaxing at Starbucks with hubby now.. All 3 kiddos are sleeping already:) Mmmm this is heaven!
Brought the kiddos out today.. Honestly we really are clueless about where to bring them to especially so on a rainy Saturday.
Jewel has been bugging us to do painting again so we made our way to suntec again! This princess really loves handicrafts and painting.
We also saw a roadshow by AIBI and the 2 kiddos ended up jumping on the trampoline.
It was quite hilarious cos Jewel couldn't really balance well especially with her gorgor jumping vigourously!! She ended up hitting him n screaming instead..
Sometimes I really feel very challenged in my motherhood when the kiddos or rather, Jewel, starts to behave like a little 'monster'! She even attempted and sadly to say, succeeded in biting Javier's arm today!!! His arm now has her teeth marks and the wound bled a bit:( oh my!!
That's why I have been visiting the library and reading up on parenting books ( on disciplining, educating children) before I resume my hectic lifestyle again.. One and a half months more to go..
Finally! We bought our new place. Signed the papers at HDB Hub this morning.. So happy!!!
After which we went to United Square to help Ja sign up for his beyblade competition.. Yes it's the latest thing on town. In fact, it was his classmate who told him about the competition and Ja has been wanting to take part.
Stage is set!
Well, his daddy bought for him more gadgets to add on to his collection. No wonder daddy is always the favourite one around!!
Competition is at 2pm so we took the MRT to Orchard to get our hair cut n colored..
Daddy finally colored his hair!!
Well hopefully Ja does well for the competition later. Pray with me together!:)
Finally, after 8 months of 'fasting' from blogging, I have decided to ressurect my blog once again!
In fact, I forgot how to log in n had to ask Jiaying!! What a joke!
Actually I had wanted to blog again quite some time ago but there are so many happenings and thoughts and I just didn't know how or where to start.
Just to get started, I just want to thank God in this post now that the year is coming to an end...
I thank God for His faithfulness, His grace, His providence, His favour in so many things..
1) my smooth transition into my new job this year despite the fact that I was pregnant!
2) new found friends and colleagues and lots of favor from my bosses!!
3) our new addition baby Joshua into our family.. He is such a Joy to all of us!! And it's so tempting to produce more!! Hahaha cos I personally think my kiddos are one of the cutest around!! Ok I am biased! And of course factory shall be closed very soon:)
4) People that God has brought into our lives. Honestly this year has not been easy.. Each step is led by God and I am so amazed at how God brings different people.. Especially those that I least expect, to be a comfort and joy to me and Ck..
5) our new house!! This is such a miracle.. The location is fantastic and the price is unbelievably Awesome!:) so looking forward to next march! We are now enjoying the process of searching for designs and furniture to create our cosy hole!:)
6) My mother in law for housing us in the last one year! There are so many horror MIL stories but I thank God my MIL is one of the best around! Making our stay so smooth and being such a great help especially with BB Josh! Honestly, I think I will miss staying with her.. Miss watching drama series and discussing the plots together:) I thank God that I had the chance to stay with my in laws! It's a priceless experience:)
7) my family, especially my dear sister Jiaying! Thanks for being there to listen, to talk, to shop and go thru our transistion together! I must say we are such an envy for others! Lol
So many so Many more to thank Him for.. I shall stop here for now as my breakfast is done and this auntie is on her way to do grocery shopping! Hee:)
Ja came to me excitedly yesterday after service and said,"Mummy, do you know we are moving to Suntec for church very soon?"
I asked him how he came to know about it and he said children's church told them.
So when he saw the Suntec Convention Centre on the front page of City News, his first response was.. "Wow! So they are going to knock down this whole Suntec and build a City Harvest Church there??" LOL! Think he imagined the building to be liken to Jurong West St 91 where there will be a big cross and a big CHC name!
I clarified with him that its not going to be so.. think should have made him an EM and let him hear the explanation from Pst Kong himself during the AGM! (Just joking!)
Then Ja's next response was.." Wow! Then next time after service, I can go straight to the arcade and also Toys "R" Us!!! Wow! That's NICE!!! (I nearly fainted!)
Ja: "Mummie, teacher said to bring my piggy down to church next week for Arise and Build.."
Moi: "So, how much do you intend to give to build God a house? How about the whole Piggy?"
Ja: "Erm, No la.. let me count my money inside first, then I decide.."
(FAINT FAINT!) Actually, I think Ja is a smart boy. He loves God but he doesn't just give without thinking! Hahaha or rather, should I say he is counting his cost!!
Well, perhaps today i will empty his piggy and count his coins together with him. Will have to let God touch his heart for the amount to give.. I will just stay out of the picture!
Unequal amount, Equal Sacrifice!!! Let's Arise and Build!

Friday, March 5, 2010
Went to visit my buddy's baby yesterday and I must say babies are sooo cute!!! Another buddy of mine said that I better don't do so much hospital baby visits after my third one cos every time I do so, my heart opens up to babies once again! Anyway, come to think of it, if everything is to turn out as planned.. Maybe... just maybe... I can have a 4th one??!! HAHAHAHAHA.. Erm, but Ck didnt say NO to that idea!
We'll see how la hor.. after my third little one is out! OH gosh! I am such a MOTHER PIG!
So far my pregnancy is getting on well. I always tell the little one inside me..."Baby you got to be strong ok? Mummy is going to have a hectic lifestyle but you will be safe in my tummy! Enter into the rest of The Lord ok!" And honestly, this is what I have been speaking to the baby every morning especially when the day is a hectic one for me!
I am feeling slightly better from the evening sickness.. Now I crave a lot for fruit juices, smoothies, sour drinks, yogurts... and this is so different from Ja and Jew! Think it's better too.. more healthy.. as I always crave for Ice milo DINOSAUR in the past and Tsk Tsk.. its so sweet! Planning to engage a second helper probably in a few months time.. Think Jona's hands are really full with the chores, cooking, Jewjew and the tird baby that is to come.. SO praying for yet another good helper! My buddy said should look for a helper whose name starts with "J". Cos it seems like the trend is the "J"s helpers are usually quite good.. proven! Lol!
I must model myself after my buddy Eileen.. who only gained 7 plus kg in total and her baby already takes up 3.4kg! Wow! She has only gained 3 plus kg on herself! My inspiration!!
So for this time round, I hope.. really hope I will only gain at most 10kg?? As compared to the previous 2 which were a consistent 17kg!!! Cant tell right? I honestly don't know where the extras went to as they were not big babies too..My Bottom?
Am really believing that 2010 is going to be the best year for me and CK! What the bible says is true.. There is power in agreement! Felt this year, our marriage has grown stronger and closer! Haha maybe we have passed the trying year of the 7th year! Felt this year both of us have entered into a maturity level where we can share deeper fears and concerns of our own lives to each other, agree on our common goals for the family , the way we handle the kiddos.. yeah, I feel happier! Think in every marriage, there is always seasons of bashing through, building deeper trust and respect.. all these sound so cliche when I heard them in the past but its really so so true!
So to all married couples out there... Keep on loving, sharing, respecting, hugging and building your family... Its a MARATHON! Cheers!
