Merry Christmas....

We had a very fruitful Christmas this year, even though we are not christian, we enjoyed the activity of gift giving.

We thought of having a quiet and simple Christmas Eve at nearest Mc Donald but Eeanne was so tired and didn't really enjoy it. Daddy and mommy didn't trully understand Eeanne's needs, we actually imposed the idea of what actually is a true Christmas to Eeanne which she is not fully understand it yet...All ended up that we came back without buying any Mc Donald...

We are glad to show Eeanne all the presents and she really delighted in opening those wrapping gifts. We taught Eeanne the gesture of giving by letting her giving out the Christmas gift to kakak, even kakak also feels the joys of this Christmas...

Before Christmas falls....

We visited The Curve shopping complex with mama and yeye. Eeanne was so fascinated by all the Christmas decorations and it was so funny to look at her reaction on meeting the Santa Claus at the mall...she must be thinking "who is this fat white beard old man...he has the same big tummy as daddy!!!"

The Santa Kid is calling me....scary...

Wah...such a big ball hanging in the tree.....

my 1st Merry Go Around ride,it is so fun..

After 25th of December....

We went back to M'cca on 26th for bobo/kong kong's 35th Coral Anniversary celebration. It was totally a different feel spending our after Christmas event in M'cca. There were too many celebrations since Nov(chiu chiu's wedding). I think Eeanne has been used to the big crowd and noisy ambience. Coming will be CNY celebration in Ipoh and M'cca again!!

Even mommy myself also feels exhausted already....tired of the too frequent travelling...pity Eeanne hardly got time to relax at home...Think we need to stop outdoor activity from now till travelling again during CNY.

"Mommy...who is this fat white beard old man?"

Hey I like this mini ginger bread house...

"mommy....can I bring this tree home?..."

"kong kong, bobo..you have block the view of my favourite Christmas tree...."

"chiu chiu" 's Wedding....

Mommy has not been updating Eeanne's blog for approximately 1 month since the "chiu chiu's (muomy brother) wedding dinner in Teluk Intan on 20/11/08. It seems like all the weekends were fully occupied and weekday nights were too exhausted to even post a blog after a long day of stressful work due to muomy's company preparation of new system going live.


Finally everything was over now...except the minor hiccups of company new system which will be solved definitely before Xmas.


Let's recall on the days where everyone is looking forward to "chiu chiu"'s wedding. Mommy tried to associate the meaning of "Wedding" to Eeanne by singing the wedding song "pom...pom! pom! pom!" Eeanne catches up things very fast especially when it relates to music. Whenever daddy and mommy said "we are going to chiu chiu's wedding this Satuday uh..." Eeanne will sing the song of "pom...pom! pom! pom!"


We spents 2 nights in Teluk Intan, there has nothing much tourist attraction except the "Slanting Tower".
Daddy had a bad experience on this visit where he had lost his handphone during our first night seafood supper in one of the restaurant!!

Slanting Tower

Then it followed by the wedding dinner (by groom's family) in M'cca. Mommy had to go back M'cca a day earlier, Eeanne and kakak followed daddy the next day. Luckily Eeanne was asleep throughout the journey to M'cca otherwise daddy's might have a hard time to bear with Eeanne impatience habits of sitting in the car seat.


Unfortunately the journey back to KL from M'cca after the wedding was awful as it took mommy and daddy 4 hours to reach KL.(we reached KL at 2.30a.m.). Daddy and mommy was driving each other cars and this round Eeanne was with mommy. The extraordinary long journey really made Eeanne lost her patience and Eeanne had been crying and yelling until mommy had to make 2 stops at the rest house. Besides the tiredness and late arrival, mummy still need to open shop the next day morning at 9.30a.m. What a tired weekend.....


The next coming one week was rushing for mommy's company stock take and the preparation of system go live.


Then it was this weekend only mommy had time to write. We just over our family steamboat reunion at our house. Another restless but fruitful and happy weekend....Eeanne enjoys the time being together with her cousins.


Along the day of this one month, so many changes happened on Eeanne:
1) Eeanne came down with running nose
2) mommy was really sick and Eeanne had to stay overnight with mama for 3 consecutive nights which later made mommy miss Eeanne so much
3) Eeanne knows how to say "mmm moi" (mean don't want in cantonese)
4) Eeanne called "kakak cepat"
5) Eeanne says "no pour, mommy angry"
6) Eeanne learns the bad habit of bitting people and put a painful bite on mommy's shoulder
7) Eeanne knows how to fill in missing words on the song of "Chiquitita" by Abba
8) Eeanne finally gets the right guess on the Red and Green color block
9) Eeanne knows how to say the name of "Giant" hypermarket
10) Eeanne says "Go Home" when we are about to leave mama's house


Mommy feels so proud of Eeanne's development so far as per now at her age of 18month+3weeks....

Saturday Visit To Aquaria, KLCC

We are not sure how well Eeanne will appreciate the visit to aquarium at her age now, after the Aquaria visit at KLCC this Saturday, we find out that Eeanne is more interested on the kids visiting the Aquaria rather than all the fishes in the big glass tank!

Initially mummy and daddy were hesitated on going in to the Aquaria thinking of Eeanne might not be enjoying this and the entry fees is quite over-priced too as:

Adult: RM 28

Baby: free admission

Senior citizen: RM18

But we had planned this since Friday and came all the way here from Puchong, will be very disappointed if to give up at this last minute in front of the Aquaria's entrance!!

Finally we paid for our tickets and spent 1 1/2 hour fruitful expenditure inside the air-conditioned building.

Eeanne was very fascinated by the big screen glass aquarium and the giant fish swimming inside it. She paid no interest on those reptile and amphibia. Eeanne is especially fond of the carousal that brought us around the half cylinder tank.

Yeah..before we came it, there was a photo session taken by Aquaria personnel where we stood infront of the "Finding Nemo" scene that served as the background. We know for sure that it is the upsale tactic. Sure enough...we spent another RM28 for the 6R photo....Mummy just can't resist it from buying after seeing that such a happy family photo.

After all we enjoyed this weekend activity very much....our next plan will be bringing Eeanne to the Zoo at A'Famosa.

Let's Pretend.....

Since Eeanne's last illness of Roseola Infantum, she has the very deep memory of how the Dr Lim did the body check for her. Whenever she is naughty, I will use the name of Dr Lim in sort of threatening her by saying that mummy will send her to Dr Lim again. Out of our surprise, Eeanne seems like not having any phobia of visiting physician, instead she enjoys it!!

Whenever we mentioned Doctor...Eeanne will use her little hand pretending as Dr checking on her own chest...haha...she is pretending like a doctor.....

"What does the doctor do with the stesthoscope?" Eeanne will put her tiny hand on her chest and said "check check".

"What does the doctor do with the ear thermometer?" Eeanne will put her hand on her ear and said "tee..."

"What does the doctor do with the tongue cleaner?" Eeanne will lick out her tongue and murmured the sound "eh..."

Now we gave her a toy stethoscope, Eeanne is having fun playing doctor, and she starts to mimicking mummy by saying "okie! good!" everytime she did the check on daddy or mummy....haha

Eeanne Likes "Mamma Mia"

Ha ha.... Eeanne is just like mummy, so crazy about the movie of Mamma Mia. When I first watched this movie, I think about Eeanne might has love it too especially on the songs (Eeanne likes music a lot and will dance everytime the music is on)

When I show Eeanne the DVD, surprisingly Eeanne sat together with me in front of the TV for almost 1 1/2 hour and she was mesmerised with all the songs especially the "Honey Honey"

Now everyday in the car on the journey to mama's house, I have to on the song of "Honey Honey". Eeanne will dance and shake her body vigorously and giggling. She is mimicking the ways of the three girls giggling in the movie!!! Whenever the song is over, Eeanne will start to cry "Honey Honey" and throwing temper demanding me to on again. So I have to on again and again until myself starts to feel bored on it already.

Splash... Splash!!

Finally..... Eeanne got her chance to go swimming after so many attempts last few weeks which the weather always seemed not agreeable with Eeanne's swimming mood.

Last Sunday, we went to "sook sook"'s apartment for swimming. Eeanne kept calling "swimmng swimming" and pointing at her baby float.

Wow . it was big swimming pool but Eeanne can only try her swimming skill at the wading pool.

Eeanne has a lot of supporters , mama and ya ya also join the cheer for Eeanne inaugural 'swimming performance'

From "Sook Sook"'s apartment unit looking down to the swimming pool

The last time Eeanne went swimming was during her 4 months old:

Eeanne In Mummy's Womb

I always miss the days when Eeanne was inside my womb, I really enjoyed the whole pregnancy from knowing Eeanne as a dot till I started to feel her kick and movement. I still remember the anxious moment of a day before waiting for her arrival. After Eeanne was born, I had an unexplained sad feeling of missing her in my womb, I missed the time when I always caressed my belly and talked to her.

Now looking at Eeanne, I realise she is growing fast. Even though I missed her days in my womb, I precious her more now from the first days she was born.

Still remembered how crazy and excited both of hubby and myself during my each gynae visit. We were eager to see how our bb looks like.

Eeanne's little world in mummy's womb:

16 Weeks 1 Day 29 Weeks

32 Weeks 4 Days 37 Weeks 5 Days

Eeanne's Arrival at Sunway Hospital

Eeanne says: I look prettier right... compare to the image in mummy's womb..haha

Eeanne's New Acquaintance

Eeanne met a new acquaintance called Ms "Roseola Infantum" which was really not a friendly one, instead had cause so much suffering for Eeanne and worrisome to daddy mummy.

Finally Eeanne got her rash diagnosis by Dr Lim WL at Sunway Hospital yesterday. It was such a relief to hear from Dr Lim that nothing was serious and Eeanne is going to be fine and regain her beauty in next 3 days.

Who is this Roseola Infantum??
- a type of viral infection
- usually spread through saliva
- commonly affected kids below 2 years old
- normally there will be fever for around 3 days and can be as high as 39-40C
- then once fever subside the rashes will emerge
- parents usually will be panic by the terrible rashes and seek for treatment
- in fact no treatment needed, the rashes shows that the viral infection is subsiding
- there is no itch at all
- kids will experience loss of appetite

Today we really see the improvement on Eeanne's rashes but pitifully her face still look rough and red. Thank Boddhisatva that Eeanne has slowly gain back her appetite and today she had 21 oz of milk and one bowl of porridge..hooray!!!

After this incident, Eeanne has develop a very "naughty" behaviour and very smart in calling SOS whenever mummy reprimand her. Suddenly Eeanne becomes over girlish which is not her usual tough character. Normally with a hard knock on her head also she will not respond to her pain by crying, but now even a small scratch on her leg she will cry out "pain pain" and cried for mama or mummy. Eeanne is smart to look for her shelter now....

After all, everyone is so relief and life go back to normal now. By tomorrow or Friday Eeanne's rashes should have fully recover.

\Now looking at Eeanne sitting by my side watching me writing this og, I can feel how vulnerable she is. My love and the feeling to always protect her grows even stronger....She looks very sleepy and is going to fall asleep anytime by now....

Good night Eeanne.....I Love You..........

Rashes...Rashes......

Eeanne started to refuse her water intake since last Tuesday. All this while Eeanne only has rejection for her milk but never on her favourite water drinking. Yet mummy still dumb dumb to suspect anything unusual. Daddy is smart to comment that Eeanne might have sore throat but mummy took the comment so lightly. Mummy really deserve for the sense of guilt!!

It took only 2 days since then Eeanne started to have her first fever attack on Thursday evening (38.4C)and was given one dose of PCM. That day I still remember that mummy and daddy hardly sleep the whole night. Both daddy & mummy had been frightened by our own foolishness. When we tested Eeanne temperature around 1.30am, the ear thermometer showed 100.4F, we were so panic and suddenly all our mathematic conversion of Fahrenheit to Celcius just can't get out from our mind. Huh...daddy immediately opened up his labtop to surf through internet...oh no...it seemed like taking a decade for daddy to tell the result in Celcius. Hai...finally mummy just burst out "handphone has the converter!"

Finally we got the 38.0C...we can't sleep since then and keep monitoring Eeanne ear temperature. At 2 a.m. the reading shot up to 101.7F(38.7C) and we decided to put her on 2nd dose of PCM. The whole night I kept waking up to feel her forehead and PCM worked but only last for 5 hours.

The next early morning around 7a.m, Eeanne's fever went up to 39.1C, I gave her anohter dose of PCM. We brought her to her usual Paed. and only Progesic(PCM) and anti-inflammatory enzyme were prescribed. The diagnosis was....Eeanne had a white ulcer on her throat!!!!

That Friday....mummy was just like a zombie during her company meeting....

Friday night we were lucky to have our Doctor cousin's visit and Eeanne was prescribed with Augmentin syrup.

Sat&Sun were like a nightmare for mummy..Eeanne's fever very unstablebly going "ding dong'. Eeanne started to vomit immediately after taking her medicine especially the Augmentin, then it followed by diarrhea. Then she started to refuse all food and drink....

Sat: zero oz of milk intake
Sun: only 5oz of milk intake

Mummy really really panic when Eeanne didn't even want to have her ORS after so many times diarrhea...Eeanne is going to get dehydrated!!! It was so heart sick to see her getting lethargic and inactive....her eyes were so drooping and it can tell from her eyes expresion that Eeanne was so stunned. Mummy started to give PCM suppository on Sat. night to prevent Eeanne from vomitting.

Throughout whole Sat, every 2 hours mummy got to change Eeanne's diaper due to the watery stool.
For only 2 days (Sat&Sun), mummy became supermodel by keep changing cloth now and then due to Eeanne's vomit.

Finally Eeanne got through the battle and got her normal temperature this morning(Monday). Mummy sleepily got the feel on Eeanne's neck and forehead temperature and with such a relief to FEEL her temperature back to normal. When mummy opened her eyes....AH.......what happen to Eeanne's face....??

Eeanne's face, front & back trunk were full of red dots....oh poor Eeanne, another wave of worrisome hit us......

We can't find any clinic open today due to Deepavali public holiday. We waited for Weng Tarng cousin just to have a look on Eeanne's rashes. We gave her Zyrtec and before her sleep on Pirion. The rashes do not seems to be subsiding. Till now still have no idea on the source of this rashes, could be allergic reaction to Augmentin according to Weng Tarng cousin....mom in law said it might be a false alarm of Measles....mom said it is a detoxifying episode aftermath of the fever....

Hopefully tomorrow morning mummy able to see Eeanne's happy and beautiful face...even though I know clearly this will take around 3-4 days to subside. No matter how Eeanne's face look like, she is still mummy's Pretty Little Princess....

Be Present...

Today mummy and daddy just went for the movie of Mamma Mia. It is really a good, relaxing and touching movie, there was one scene mommy really lost control of herself where she shed her tears very naturally without knowing why....

It is the scene when Donna, Sophie's mum helping Sophie to prepare herself for the wedding. The song by ABBA "Slipping Through My Fingers" was played on that scene. The lyric goes like this:

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness and I have to sit down for a while, the feeling that I’m loosing her forever and without really entering her world. I’m glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time, I try to capture every minute the feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time.
Do I really see what’s in her mind? each time I think I’m close to knowing...she keeps on growing, slipping through my fingers all the time.

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table, barely awake I let precious time go by. Then when she’s gone there’s that odd melancholy feeling and a sense of guilt I can’t deny. What happened to the wonderful adventures, the places I had planned for us to go? Well.. some of that we did but most we didn’t and why I just don’t know.

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture and save it from the funny tricks of time. Slipping through my fingers....

Suddenly this song really hit me. Suddenly I have the frightened feeling on seeing Eeanne grows...I just hope she won't grow that fast. Huh, how stupid and ridiculous mummy is. I realise that I'm too attach to Eeanne which is not a healthy sign.

Now I understand why my mother cried so badly on my wedding day even she knows that we will still see each other and talk through the phone so often.

Very soon..times fly as we know, Eeanne will have her own thinking and own circle of living, of course she will not understand how mummy feel now just like mummy never ever understand why grandmom cried for mummy.

Since become a mom for Eeanne, I appreciate more on what my mum had done for me. It is really true that you will not ever feel & truly understand the love between the mother and daughter's bonding until you become a mum by yourself. The love and bonding is really undescribable by words, can only be felt....

Now I look at Eeanne, her innocent and happy smile. Mummy and daddy really need to be present and treasure every moment that we spend together. The memory of her trying hard to open her eye to see the world at the hospital, her first smile, seeing her learning to turn, sit, crawl, stand, walk and now run...etc etc...all these happen just so fast (feel like just happen yesterady) and now it is really a history already and 2 years more Eeanne will be ready for nursing school....Wah...it is really so fast!! I really afraid of the empty nest feeling!!

Be present! Be present! Eeanne's growing process is a definite. Daddy and mummy will precious the every single moment with you. Your presence and laughter have bring so much joy to our life and make us a complete happy family. Yes..it will slip through our fingers, yet it will be a memorable one!

Slipping through my fingers......

Eeanne today (16 mth 22 day old) at FGS temple, acting like a big sister taking care of a baby...

This Weekend Activities with Eeanne

Saturday Afternoon...
It all started one night when Eeanne poured the Ego Bath Oil on the floor and used her both palms sweeping on the lotion. The idea of Finger Painting strike me immediately. Remember I read in the Baby Center about using white flour and food coloring for finger painting. This has became our this Sat home fun activity. It was fun seeing Eeanne's dress full of colors spot and she enjoyed it very much. But we had left a big mess for kakak to tidy up..haha..

Sunday Morning..
Daddy and mommy have been talking about bringing Eeanne to Sunday Dharma School but never made it. Finally this sunday morning mommy brought Eeanne to Subang Jaya Vihara Temple.

We joined in mid session while the Tzu Chi had their Master Zheng Yuen video conference dharma talk on "how to save our earth". This was Eeanne first trip to temple and first experience sitting quietly for a public talk. Surprisingly Eeanne was very cooperative. She looked puzzle and kept standing to look at the uncles and aunties sitting behind us. During the sign language singing presentation, Eeanne was amazed by the music and the sign language gesture from the audience. Certainly Eeanne had no idea what was going on, instead she participated in dancing with the music. It was so cute looking at her innocent brave dancing in circle. She had became the focus of attention from the audience...

Sunday Evening..
It has long been planned to bring Eeanne for swimming. Today I decided to bring Eeanne to Saraka Aparment for her 2nd swimming session since her last during 3 mth old. I took out her long kept baby float from the shelf and got kakak to pump it in full air. Unfortunately it was a raining Sunday. We waited since 4pm and hoped for the weather change but it kept drizzling the whole evening. I dissapointed Eeanne again. For a compensate reward, we played bubble blowing at the car porch. I promised to bring Eeanne to Saraka Apartment tomorrow with finger cross....

Sunday telecommunication with "bobo" at Mcca....
Eeanne always like to talk with the phone just like a adult does. Her way of talking with the phone has become mama's entertainment. "suk suk" said that it is like talking on a big business plan. Yet no one understand what she is talking about, but she looked really serious....
