Mummy in Budapest

Mummy went to Budapest for her first oversea TVC shoot.

So where is Budapest?
Budapest is a capital city of Hungary.
Despite many thinks that Hungary is located in Eastern Europe, it is actually situated in Central Europe, in its eastern part. It borders with Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraina.

Here are some photos taken, enjoy the slide shows.

Mummy is doing Scrapbook for us

Mummy is busy with her scrapbook recently. It begins with their wedding photos, her pregnancy photos, followed by Matthan and mine photos. A sneak preview on her some of her masterpiece.

HFMD!!

Matthan is down with HFMD again. Mummy is very upset, she doesn't want to talk much about it. Just hope that didi will get well soon.

Oh No... HFMD again....:(

I have HFMD again. There isn't any rashes on my hand & foot this time round, but alots of red spots in my mouth.

Mummy is very worried, I can see that she is very upset over it.

I will be on MC for 1 week. No school, no shopping, no more playgroud as well.
These are not important to me, I just hope that I won't be spreading this hateful viral to didi.

My b'day celebration at Sentosa

Daddy and mummy took leave to celebrate my birthday with me. We stayed for 3D2N at the Siloso Beach Resort at Sentosa. I was a bit sick at first, but luckily I got better so I could enjoy myself.

I just wish it wasn't so HOT!!! The sun was so bright and hot! But we still went for our first try on the Skyride and Luge. I really enjoyed it very much. Then later, when the sun was not so hot, I went to the beautiful beach to play with the sand and build sandcastles. The sand is so fine and soft... but I don't like the sand between my toes when I am walking on it in my slippers... so irritating. So I decided to go for a swim in the beautiful swimming pool instead. The pool even has a waterfall! After swimming, we ate japanese food.. yummy.. and went to watch 'Songs of the Sea'. (Wait until I post the video of the show. You'll love it also.) So fun! Got singing, and dancing, and all the lights/laser and water and fire and cute characters like Oscar.

The 2nd day, my didi, Ah Dawn yi yi, Uncle Louis and Ah Ma came to celebrate with me also! Oh.. I forget... I got to sit the tram along the beach also... so nice.

Thank you mummy and daddy for taking the time to celebrate my birthday with me in such a special way! I will always remember this day!

Some Photos:

Wah! What a beautiful place to spend my birthday. The sky is so beautiful at Sentosa. There's soft sand, cool breeze... mmmm ... nice

Didi came to celebrate with me also. Doesn't he look like "Awang"? hahaha! Didi very brave. He is not scared of the water. Can you see him enjoying his swim? I was a bit scared, but I also enjoy swimming a lot.













Ahh!?? How come the papaya and banana so big?



























Whee!! Skyride and Luge here I come!! It's so fun! Dun let my mummy's smiley face fool you. Before this photo was taken, she was crying on the skyride. I had to hold her arm and kept telling her, "mummy.. bu yao pa!" I was not scared at all... whee... we were moving above the trees.

Daddy told me about the luge. He said it was the same as the one in Hi-5. And you know what? I like it! Zoom zoom... so fast one... I was not scared at all. Can't wait to try again. Mummy! Daddy! Can bring me go again??


Here are more photos that I would like to share with you:

I love to fix Jigsaw Puzzles

My Daddy and Mummy say I'm very clever because I know how to fix jigsaw puzzles.

I started with simple 9-piece puzzles. My daddy saw me enjoying myself and finding it so easy, so he bought me 12-piece and 18-piece puzzles. I enjoy fixing them so much! There is Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Bob the Builder ... wah... so beautiful!

Lately, I've even been able to fix my 48-piece puzzles!! My daddy says its amazing that I can fix these puzzles because they are for 5 years old children and I am able to fix it even before I am 3 years old! It was difficult, and I was a bit frustrated. But I like the challenge! Now I can fix them faster and without any guidance from my daddy.

I feel very proud and happy because my daddy and mummy always praise me when I fix the puzzles! I hope they buy me even more beautiful puzzles!

9 pcs puzzles

12 pcs puzzles

I ask Jesus to heal all of you, so that you can go shopping and eat chocolate soon.
Praying for:
Baby Janson who has Pneumoccocal Disease.
Baby Darrius having some intestine problem.
Baby Rachel who has Hand Foot Mouth Disease.

B'day celebration with Dad and Mum

We will be heading to Siloso Beach Resort tomorrow. Daddy has booked a room there to celebrate my birthday. ("ROOM"...means the one for sleeping, not the one for party)

Preview of the resort.

Birthday celebration in school

My big day is coming. I helped mummy to prepare the goodie bags for my friends. Besides having fun putting in the sweets and crackers into the bags, I'm also enjoying putting the sweets into my mouth...Yummy. I'm on my way to school to celebrate my birthday with my friends and teachers. I'm so eager to share with them the goodie bags I have prepared for them.

Mango Cake.... yummy. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Malcolm, Happy Birthday to you.

Cake time....enjoy.

Time to give out the bags. One at a time, be patient, don't snatch please.

Okie, who want to take photos with me??

Having fun in the car

The Cash Card IU device was giving us problems. So we gotto head to the repair centre to let the uncle have a look at it.

On the way there, we were having so much fun in the car. Mummy quickly took out the camera and snapped at us.

I wonder what is so funny out there. See my didi seems to be having lots of fun staring at the window. Anyway, our IU device is fine....it is our cashcard that had already expired.

To my favorite place - Vivo City

A day out with my family. We had so much fun playing with water and riding horses. This is also the first time didi get to wear his shoes and having fun walking in the mall.

What's so interesting out there?

Didi laughing non-stop. Why is he laughing?

Learning to walk

Didi started to walk at 14 mths. It took him a lot of courage to stand up and balance himself. Soon I can hold didi's hand and walk together with him.

We are well now

Thanks everybody for your concern. We are well now.
I'm back to school again. So happy to see my friends & teachers.

We hate HFMD

Didi caught the virus too...he is down with HFMD. His conditions are much worst than mine. I don't feel like describing it, coz it will makes mummy very sad.

Poor didi.

Only these will cheer me up

My favorite cartoons characters...since I can't go to school, I guess I will spend my time watching these cartoons.

I'm down with Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease (HFMD)

Why me?? it is so painful. I could hardly drink milk and eat porridge. My fever come and go...to as high as 40.2 degree celsius. Sigh..... No more school, no more shopping, no more playground for now.

(information taken from KKH)
What Is Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease (HFMD)?
This is an infectious disease caused by a family of viruses called Enteroviruses -- the commonest being the Coxsackie virus and Enterovirus. It can occur in people from various age groups, especially pre-schoolers. It is a very common disease in Singapore and has been in existence for many years. It is not a rare or new disease.

How Do You Know If Your Child Has HFMD?
Children with HFMD will have blister-like rash on their hands, feet and buttocks, mouth ulcers and fever. In addition, the child may have a sore throat, runny nose, experience vomiting and diarrhoea, and may feel tired.
You may bring your child to the polyclinic or see your family doctor. There is no need to rush your child to the Children's Emergency just to confirm the diagnosis of HFMD.

How Can Your Child Get HFMD?
HFMD can be easily spread through direct contact with nose discharge, saliva, faeces and fluid from the blisters.

Is This Disease Serious?
The disease is usually mild and most children will recover in about a week’s time. Only very rarely do certain rare strains of the virus cause complications such as inflammation of the brain and heart.

Is HFMD Treatable?
There is no specific treatment for HFMD. The symptoms are usually mild and children usually recover well as their own immune system fights off the virus. Your doctor will give medication to control the fever.
You should encourage your child to take as much oral fluids as possible. Your child may not have a good appetite because swallowing may be painful. However, ensure that your child has adequate fluid to prevent dehydration. Offer your child small amounts of fluid (about 10 – 30 mls each time) such as diluted juices, rice or barley water every half hourly and about 10 - 30 mls each time throughout the day. Antibiotics are ineffective because this is a viral, not a bacterial infection.

Does A Prior Infection With Enterovirus Make A Person Immune?
Specific immunity can occur, but a second episode is possible from a different strain of virus belonging to the enterovirus family.

What Can Be Done To Prevent The Spread Of This Disease?
Infected children should not be allowed to go to school, childcare centres and other crowded places until he is fully recovered.
Practise good general hygiene. Wash your hands immediately after contact with the infected child or handling diaper changes, and before handling food. Prevent other children from contact with toys, books, eating utensils, towels, clothes and other personal items used by the infected child.

When Should A Child With HFMD Be Brought To The Children’s Emergency?
Most children with HFMD are relatively well and active despite their illness. Your family doctor or the polyclinic will be able to manage the majority of the cases.
However, you should bring your child in to the Children’s Emergency if you notice any of the following:
•when the oral intake of fluids is poor, or when the child is unable to swallow, or vomits persistently
•when the tongue is dry, or when the child has decreased urine output(dehydration)
•if the child appears lethargic, drowsy or irritable, is crying persistently, or isdisorientated
•when seizures occur
•if there is difficulty in breathing
•if the child looks ashen, pale or blue.
•if the child complains of acute headache or giddiness, or if there is neck stiffness

Look at the mess

Toys, Toys, Toys..... everywhere is surrounded with toys. But I love it.....hee.

Sorry mummy, I would love to help to keep the house clean, but I'm getting more & more excited when I started digging out all the toys from the boxes. Didi is enjoying it too!

Now didi is getting more active, just like me. He can climb now, and he loves climbing....

Poor mummy, she got to keep watch of him every seconds. Guess she must be very tired & drained.

Didi loves to watch Hi5

Hi5 Theme: Five in the air, Let's do it together, Five to the side,Who cares about the weather?Five on the floor, The party's on at your place, Five to the front, There's a smile on my face!Hi! Hi!

What is Valentine's day

In North America, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery.

Daddy, this is mummy's Love Notes to you on this special day....

Matthan, please don't cry.....

We went to Suntec City on the fourth day of CNY.
Didi's expression changed when mummy refused to give him the toy he demanded.

"Didi, please don't cry.... everyone is looking at you."

新年快樂。新的一年、新的開始。

Meaning of CNY....

Chinese New Year, or Chun Jie, which literally means Spring Festival, celebrates the coming of spring and a fresh start to one’s life.

The Spring Festival is also called Nian, after the legend of the Nian monster. At the begining of the first month of the lunar calendar, the monster would come down from the mountains to hunt villagers. To conquer this monster, they would beat drums and gongs, burn bamboo and light fireworks to scare it away.

There are also many other interesting practices steeped in tradition that can be found during this festive period. In the days leading up to Chinese New Year, you will find many local residents cleaning their homes. The belief is that if the home is dirty when the New Year arrives, the bad luck from last year is carried forward to the next.

Another important aspect is the celebration of family ties. One important event is the reunion dinner, where family members spanning generations get together for a feast on the eve of Chinese New Year.

During the 15-day celebration, everyone visits the homes of friends and relatives. Dressed in new clothes, visitors come bearing well wishes and gifts. Children look forward to receiving hongbaos – which literally means ‘red packets’ and these are given to children and adults who are not married. These red packets are filled with new dollar bills and represent good fortune for the coming year.

As a sign of respect to one’s elders and friends, two oranges must be brought along when visiting. It’s also customary to present oranges with both hands, and for the recipient to present two oranges when the visitor leaves.

The lion dance which is performed during Chinese New Year is a tradition that brings good luck to the households or businesses they visit. The dramatic climax of the dance is the Cai Qing or ‘Picking the Green’, where the lion ‘eats’ and then ‘spits’ the leaves out, signifying an abundance of everything in the coming year.
