This was for last Friday. As he was finally feeling less lethargic, we decided to bring him out to have his favourite Sakae Sushi. He did eat his noodle and made quite a mess of the whole place. He was however still having nasal congestion and staying too long in the air con room made him feel even more uncomfortable. So we brought him out to the open area and found a seat right next to the busy Orchard Road. He was contented just playing around the stone chair with Daddy, making his way up and down the steps. Hui and Mum happened to be around the area and they dropped by to say hi…we didn’t stay long as both me and Malcolm were tired

Sunday night was spent as usual, he went back grandparents’ house for dinner. Would be quite some time again before he would come here for dinner. He always enjoy himself at his grandparents’ home cos everyone gave him 100% attention. yeye (grandpa) and nainai (grandma) were always very attentive towards him. Every single aaahhh or ooohhh meant something to them and they would try to find out what he was trying to say. He would most of the time sit very obediently in his portable high chair with us at the dinner table. Now I understand what full attention can do to a kid, even as young as 1 year old plus. Sometime what they need is for us to pay more attention to them, play with them and they will be contented and behave very well. Oh by the way, is heaven to him here cos he could watch ?? cooks!

After the food tasting, we decided to take a walk along Singapore River. Waoh, so much had changed to this part of Singapore River. It was colourful, vibrant and happening! He was a bit grumpy initially, and we thought he was tired. However, near the end of our walk, we came to this bridge with a very broad walkway and he was suddenly very energetic and was running around happily playing. I think he just loves to be free !

Was at hotel Merchant Court last saturday for Ping and Eddy’s wedding food tasting. The hotel lobby was decorated with columns of HUGE vase. Thought it will be fun to put him next to the vase. He was happy to try something different and even hugged and kissed the big big vase !

this was for yesterday….Wednesday…he woked up grumpy… though he had much better sleep but I guessed he was recovering. We continued to give him the anti histamine cos that will make him drowsy so that he could get the sleep he needed. Since he was given the medication, he vomitted 2 times….and out came his milo drink and maybe phlem as well. He got better during the day but still refuse to sleep though can see that he was very tired. He sneaked out the back door with Daddy while Daddy was trying to hang up some bedsheet to dry. He took his favourite mop and started cleaning the floor ! He happily tried on my flip flop and could actually walked a few steps in them !

Arranged to meet up with Lee Tuan and her baby at Bugis on Wednesday. Think probably the last time we going to see them before we leave Spore. Baby Joel looks lovely in her yellow and blue outfit and as usual very chubby and very cute. First time saw Lee Tuan using the baby carrier for her. Must be very heavy cos this chubby little girl weighed about 8.8 kg at around 6 months! Malcolm wasn’t very cooperative that day either. He refused to sit in his pram or walked on his own most of the time. So ended up I had to carry him most of the time. So you see 2 poor mama doing weight training most of the time. I still having muscle ache on my biceps today!

Today we decided to give my family a treat at this restaurant at suntec city that have Tim Sum. We thought that it would be nice to do so before we leave Singapore. He was hungry. We were there early. Mum, Pa and Jie were not there yet. So we ordered a Ee Fu Noodle. He was famished and ate all the noodle we put in his bowl. Very soon he had enough and it was our turn to enjoy the food. He got a bit restless and was happy to get off his seat and running around the restaurant’s carpetted floor. He was happy to play on the small stage in the restaurant and even danced for a while when we played some music for him through the handphone.

Went to Bukit Timah Hill again on Sunday. This time with Ping and Eddy. Malcolm wasn’t so happy to walk up the hill that morning. Maybe becos he did not have a good breakfast and also he woke up quite early and was a bit tired. So end up we had to carry him to the top all the way. I tried walking up and down the hill barefooted this time and it was quite painful for the feet. So I guess next time will put on his shoes for him.

He did have fun running around on the green green grass on top the hill and upon reaching the foot of the hill, there were lotsa monkeys. This was the 1st time that he saw so many monkeys at such a close distance. Think it was worth the visit.
