Rachel flipped
Mummy: I didnt expect Rachel to flipped. Its really unexpected! She was reaching out for her little bag and ....tadan...she flipped. Somehow, both her hands were tuck beneath her tummy, so i helped pull out her hands. She immediately push herself up & held her head up high, Though nt entirely 90 degrees but its at least a 45 degrees up. Bravo! Swell! Cool! Well Done Rachel. Mummy so proud of you.

Rachel's Habit
But when rachel comes home during the weekend, 1) she doesnt finish her milk (maybe its becos i didnt mixed with brown rice) 2) she doesnt flip, no matter how i encourage her to do so.
Arrrgggghhhh.....
But at the shop hor (my in laws') according to my mil, rachel finish her milk wor...all 4 oz. My mil also nvr mix with brown rice leh...funny.
Rachel also starting to recognize people & place. She wldnt let my cousins carry nor enter their house. She wld start crying the moment i carry her into their house. Funny thing is, even if Ah Ma bring her to their house, she also dun like & start crying. Only till when she comes home, her cries become laughter.
Rachel turns 5 months this comin Mon 17 Dec. Happy 5mth Darling!
Sentosa Fun - 09 Dec Sunday
Firstly..wld like to apologise for the delay in our blog updating...why...cos Mummy lor...either she too lazy, cant be bothered or well...busy. Watever the reason, we hope you bear with us. Tks ya.
Last Sunday, we all went to Sentosa for some fun. But hor....老天爷不做美. It was like raining on & off the whole morning. We went to Tanjong Beach cos Aunty Sarah says that area is not so crowded compared to other popular beaches like Siloso Beach or Palawan Beach. Aunty Sarah says we were to go early so that we can "chopped" a very good spot.
We went ard 8 plus in the morning. Upon arrival, we unpacked the stuff & the fun begins. We stayed at the beach area, dipping into the waters every now & then, But as i said, the weather doesnt quite agree with our play & "cries" on & off. Spoils everybody's mood. We left the beach at around 1 plus in the afternoon. I felt asleep in the car on the way back.

Scared
My cousin shouted for her mum, saying Rachel vomitted milk all over. My aunt rushed in & found Rachel staring blankly & did not respond to my aunt at all. Usually she did. My aunt sense something is not right & immediately put her mouth to Rachel's nose & suck out the remaining milk. Right after she did, Rachel let out a loud cry.
My aunt bought her down to the PD to have a check up. She wanna make sure everything is well with Rachel. The PD did a tough check up on Rachel & assure my aunt all is well. Rachel is back to her normal self; can play & vocalise as usual.
According to the PD, Rachel might have choked on her milk & thus vomitted all over, but becos she was lying down, the milk went into her airway thru her nose, thus causing her to have difficulty in breathing.
I called hubby & since he was just nearby, he went in to see Rachel. She is alright now. I told my aunt to monitor Rachel, even when she is sleeping. My aunt say she will do it, even if i did not ask her to. Thank god my aunt is experience, else i wouldnt know what to do.

Apologies
Bathtime
Yesterday, went to celebrate 外婆's birthday. Actually, her birthday falls on Nov 08 but we celebrated early. Mummy didnt take any fotos cos she 4got to bring the camera. Anyway, its just a mini celebration. We went to eat at a restaurant; Yuan Xing (源兴)Teochew Restaurant at Bendemeer Road. The service was damn bad lor. We found hair inside one of the dishes but the waitress didnt even apologise & tried to cover up instead. Terrible service! To those of you intending to eat there, NEVER! 外婆 bought for me & Rachel some clothings. Mummy will post the fotos later.

Drawing
He will climb onto the table to grab a piece of A4 copy paper to scribble. I always tell him nt to touch anything on the table since hb & i kept all our work on it. Pieces after pieces of A4 paper he can grab....cannot la...waste $$$. So i took some recycled paper from my office to let him draw.
Everyday without fail, he would never get tired...drawing after drawing. Sometimes he will take the crayons to draw also. Luckily he never draw on the wall, else i faint. But hor, my cream color sofa...sooner or later, will be covered by his pen ink. Why, cos he put the paper on the sofa to draw...(faint)!!!

Jurong Bird Park
We saw alot of birds such as parrots, hornbills, owls, penguins, flamingoes, eagles, kingfisher & many more. We even went to the Children's playground where they hv both playground & a splash pool. Mummy let me splash ard with the water for a little while cos its hot.
Children's Development Account - CDA
Mummy says the $$ to $$ gift may be used for:1) fees @ approved institutions which hv registered with MCYS under the baby bonus scheme, eg: child care centre or MOE registered kindergartens & special education schools, 2) MediShield or Medisave-approved private intergrated plans.
So once i go sch, Mummy can use this $$ to pay for my sch fees or medical related issues. Even Kor Kor can also use this $$.
But Mummy says she will try not to touch this $$ unless really bo pian. I dunno why but Mummy would rather used her own savings to pay for watever i need, or watever Kor Kor requires. Mummy says she will open a joint account for us at a later date. Then all our ang pow $$ can be deposited. It also serves as our savings account.
Nowadays, the banks all have so many different saving & investment plans until Mummy also blur. Even Mummy's insurance agent ask Mummy to use her CPF to invest. And yes, Mummy has earned quite a bit. Thanks to Aunty Candy for monitoring the market & helping Mummy to check her investments on a routine basis.
Errrr...Mummy's going out of topic so we shall stop here. HeHe!

Botak Jones
They lived in Yio Chu Kang. After dropping them off, Daddy drove to Jln Kayu, tinking of having prata since its nearby. Mummy dun feel like eating prata so Daddy suggest trying Indian 煮炒.
Alas! The indian man say no seafood, no curry, nothing...only prata cos all on PH leave. Oh dear! Where to eat now???
Daddy say to go & try AMK Ave 5 Blk 608 - The famous western food - opened by ang moh. BOTAK JONES!!! Wow, the place was very crowded; we gt to wait at least 45mins for our food.
While waiting, Mummy read thru the menu & found it quite interesting. Though its look simple enuff, there are quite abit to read since they decrible each individual dish uniquely. And Mummy like the way they put in jokes here & there to spice up the reading.
To quote a few:
(Mummy actually "kapok" the menu cos....anyway the menu foto copy one & there are alot of them out on the table for anyone to pick up)
"A woman worries until she gets a husband. A man never worries until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can ever spend. A successful wife is one who can find such a man. "
Mummy especially like tis one:
Dear Tech Support:
A while ago i upgraded GIRLFRIEND 7.0 to WIFE 1.0.1. I soon noticed that the new program began some unexpected organizational and renovation processing that took up a lot of time & valuable resources. In addtion, WIFE 1.0.1 installed herself into all other programs & now monitors all other system activities, such as SURFING 10.3, CLUBBING 7.5 AND RACQUETBALL 3.6. I can't seem to keep WIFE 1.0.1 in the background while attempting to run my other favourite application. i'm thinking about going back to GIRLFRIEND 7.0 but the uninstall doesnt work on WIFE 1.0.1
Please help!
Troubled User...
Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men often complain about.
Many people upgrade from GIRLFRIEND 7.0 to WIFE 1.0.1 thinking that it is just utilities & entertainment program. WIFE 1.0.1 is an OPERATING SYSTEM & is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING. It is impossible to delete WIFE 1.0.1 & return to GIRLFRIEND 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.
You cannot go back to GIRLFRIEND 7.0 becos WIFE 1.0.1 is designed not to allow this. Look into your WIFE 1.0.1 manual under WARNINGS: ALIMONY & COMMUNITY PROPERTY. I recommend that you just keep WIFE 1.0.1 & work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application YES DEAR 2.7 to alleviate your program problems.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGISE beacuse utimately you will have to give the APOLOGISE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
WIFE 1.0.1 is a great program but it tends to be very high maintanance. WIFE 1.0.1 does come with several support programs such as CLEAN & SWEEP 3.0, COOK 1.5 & SEX 4.2. However be very careful on how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the perfomance of WIFE 1.0.1 to launch the program NAG NAG 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve is to purchase additional software. I recommend FLOWERS 2.1 & DIAMONDS 5.0.
WARNING: Do not under any circumstances install SECRETARY WITH SHORT SKIRT 3.3. This application is not supported by WIFE 1.0.1 & will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck

Tenderly
I received another present yet again. Tis time from Daddy's customer. Thank you. It is actually a hamper set with the usual stuff - pampers, baby wipes, feeding bottles, etc...
Mummy find them common, so dat's y no foto on it. The above set of bb clothes comes 2gether with it. Mummy finds them sweet, so she wanna share with u out there as well. The checkered design reminds Mummy of her kindergarten uniform . (some 20 something years ago...) Hehe.
The brand is Tenderly. I heard Mummy says tis a Malaysian brand. Early tis year during CNY, Kor Kor threw his temper while in Msia. He kicked up a fuss & wouldn't drink his milk. Frustrated, he threw his milk bottle onto the ground & crack, the bottle is damage. So Mummy went to the shopping centre to get a new one - also from Tenderly. Keke.
