Hair Bun

14 Dec 2011 (Wed):

After learning that Rachel's hair got to be in a bun for her ballet performance, Mummy here was wondering how on earth am i going to do up her hair. Getting her hair up securely in a bun was by no means an easy task for me. So for the past few nights, i was sourcing the net & doing trial & errors on her hair.

Finally, this seems to be the best solution. The neatest i can go without hair gel & spray.






Do i get any applause?

BFF's Day

10 Dec 2011 (Sat):

Our 1st stop was at Sonata Rainbow Dancewear to get Rachel's leotard & skirt for her pre ballet level. I didnt know it closes at 6pm on a Sat, therefore, we rushed like crazy to get there before it closes. Phew! We made it.

Rachel saw reindeers across Orchard Central & our foto session begun.


Opps! Santa left his reindeer grazing & forgotten about them...


I shall adopt these reindeers... Mummy, can i?

This was one of those random nights when i was doing my laundry & little princess here offered to lend a helping hand.

Primary One Books

03 Dec 2011 (Sat):

Finally, i got the Primary One books sorted out & stacked neatly in a shelf. Booked are wrapped in their covers, only waiting for names to be written. Soon i will have to pack into 3 separate bags to be handled over to the FT during the first 3 days of sch. I have a list here with me as to what books & stuff the teachers would be collecting & we would have to write clearly the child's name & the class he/she belongs to.

Lionel is having Higher Chinese in Primary 1 but i came across the Normal Chinese textbooks & they are both the same. Wondering what difference there is at Primary One?

Rachel is sick

27 Nov 2011 (Sun):

3am:
I awoke to Daddy's words being said to Rachel " Aiyo, Rachel, you're running a fever. Come, we gotta give you some medication. "

I went into the kitchen & touched Rachel. OMG!!! She was hot to the skin... really HOT. Alas, the thermometer was spoilt & there was no way we could have her temperature taken. I begun sponging her, hoping to bring down the temperature. One hour later, i fell asleep. Opps!

9am
In the morning, she was still feeling feverish. A trip to the doctor's was the first thing we did after breakfast. The doctor asked if she did complained of pain on any part of her body. I recalled Rachel did mentioned her head was in pain. The doctor then informed me that if a child complains of pain in the head, the outcome could be serious, as in like infections in the brain, etc.... This was not something i expected to hear....

He prescribed Ibuprofen & anti-biotic & told me to monitor for the next few days for signs of restlessness & always wanting to sleep. And more importantly, if the fever doesnt subside within a day or two, to bring her back again.

Needless to say, the once jumpy little bun only wants Mummy to cuddle, her refusal to eat & her endless complain of pain made my heart ache... I text the ballet teacher to inform we wld not be coming for the usual class & the combined reherasal later in the afternoon.

1pm
However, since she was feeling a little better that afternoon, we brought her over to attend a baby's full month celebration lunch at a fren's place. We stayed till 3pm & she was okay, running ard & watching TV.

But once back home, all she wants was mummy's cuddles & again, her whimpers was frequent. Finally she fell asleep.

11pm
Fast forward into the night, Rachel's tempreature was high again & i was thinking if i should bring her down to KK. But from previous experience, all they wld do is to do a blood test. And the outcome, viral infections was all they cld say.

No point in bringing her down then. Mummy here wld have to be hard working & keep sponging her. Medication was given every 4-5 hours but in the morning, she was still feverish.

Mon @ 830am
I insisted on a suppository at the doctors & immediately, or should i say, within an hour, her fever went down & was kept at bay. Yippie!!! The doctor told us not to give her Ibuprofen anymore but paracetomol was okay.

Rachel has recovered since & is back to her usual bubbly, jumping jelly bean self. We skipped her phonics class last Tuesday, 29 Nov 2011 to allow her more rest. But by Thursday, she went for her ballet pratice & the combined rehearsal @ Macpherson's on Sat.

I must remember to get a new thermometer.
