Goes round and round

The virus just wont stop !!!
It has been hovering around our family and now it's my mum's turn !! wth !
As usual, I will call mum around 11am everyday to check on Leroy and her. She told me her tummy is a little pain. Maybe it's due to the Nasi Lemak we bought from 'Punggol Nasi Lemak' yesterday? I think she is the only one eating so the rest of us are fine. She told me she will rest a little while and call me if it get worse. Mum didn't call after that. If she can take it, she will not want to trouble us as all of us are working. Always like that. I know her so I called to check on her after my lunch and said it's more painful now and having diarrhea as well. Told me to go to her place after work. So I informed my sis and ask her to go home straight and bring mum to clinic as she knocks off at 5pm whereas for me 5.45 and I still need to fetch Lervin.
While I'm on the way there, sis called and said mum just visited the doctor and vomitted. Doctor diagnose food poisoning. Argh ! When I reached, mum looks so strengthless and don't even have the energy to talk. I helped with the washing and cleaning up of house and later brought the 2 kiddos and sis to commonwealth Mac to eat. You can choose to have your meals indoor or outdoor. For outdoor, I will choose to be seated near the legde which I can overlook the pond area. There's a mini play area for kids just behind the resturant. A memorable place for us siblings. There's a pond with hundreds of tortise ! They will all come to you when you stand at a place thinking there's food for them ! My sis sid there's always people throwing bread to them evenwhen there's sign of 'No Feeding'... Guess I should bring along a loaf of bread to feed them next time.. =) Remember when we were young (pri sch) dad brought us there to 放生 our tortise. They even painted the shell bright red to recognise it. After then, we did visited the place a few times and stopped going... Now my turn to bring my kids there. =) Should have taken photos but I didnt ! Very difficult too as I have to keep my eyes on my 2 boys.
We went back after that and I clean up both kids before going home. As my bro will be on afternoon shift tmr, I will take half day PM then. I was very quite tired during the drive home. Even when reaching home, I still need to prepare Lervin's bag, wash,hang and keep the clothes etc... before I can bath... By the time I hit the bed, it's already 1.30am and I need to wake up at 7am...... This is already the 2nd night......

Birthday surprise from hus !

Lervin is grouchy when I send him to school today. I guess it's due to he slept late yesterday. Around 1.30am. We reached home at 9.30pm and had arranged to meet hus's friend for insurance thing. Thing ends at 12am and after I was busy preparing his stuffs and hus is busy with packing his bags so I left Lervin in the room. Normally he will fall asleep by himself but he never ! I told him to sleep and he says 'I'm not tired' and keeps walking around touching this and that. Till we're finally in bed, it's already 1.15am and he sleeps within 5mins. That should explain his grouchyness in the morning.
As for me, usual thing. Reach office, wash and refill my bottle & cup, back to seat and start working. Just nice Celine called and so chatted with her on the phone when the receptionist passed me something which I thought it's the DHL recipet. I was blur at the moment and thinking how come she passed me a flower shop receipt. Read the content again and it's attention to me ! Was kinda surprised at that moment. As hus is never the romantic type or will give me surprises. I've told him a few times before but it's still the same. I'm ok with what he is. But which girl don't like surprises right? *winks* Today, he surprised me with his action. A bouquet that consist of 12 blue roses, 12 pink roses and a voice recording bear which hus had recorded him singing 'Happy Birthday' to me. hahhaa! There's an evelope with a birthday card and 3 cards which he wrote for 5 pages !! I never expected this ! I was wondering how did he manage to do all this so secretive and in discreet as most of the times we are together. But I still appreciate the things he has done. Love ~

A day before

Tomorrow hus will be going for reservist for 2 weeks. I think he will book out this sat night time and book in on sun evening. Better.. At least can see him for a day..
First time hus is not with me on my b'day. He's always beside me on my past 6 years of b'day... Kinda sad but no choice. At least my girls are with me ! Meeting them for dinner tomorrow night ! =)

Hus went downstair to have a army hair-cut. It's short with style. hahaa ! 爱美.
After, we went bedok and hus had his 推拿 as he is complaining of his hand feeling strengthless. Had a quick brunch and down to mum's place. My poor baby... Although he is much better, he is still not back to his usual cheeky and mischevious ways. Seldom see him smile as well and he looks quite tired... Hus need to get some stuffs from ntuc so we brought both kids and mum along to let him walk around and not coping him in the house. Didi wants to sit motor cars for kids that you can see outside shopping malls. 10 mins for $2. Through the whole 10 mins, didi never smile at all which he normally will before he falls sick. Quite heartpain to see this change in him. Hopefully it's due to he had just recover from this incident and isn't back to his usual self yet and not other reasons. After, we went to Bukit Merah Nutc and didi is starting to smile a little. A short one but it's still better than nothing. Proceed home after that....
Hope I can see didi's bright and cheeky smile soon.

Leroy is discharged.

Finally ! Doctor said Leroy is allowed to go home !! We prepared and fetch Leroy from NUH at around 1pm. Leroy looks tired and lerthagic when we saw him. Maybe it's due to he's unable to sleep well for the past 2 nights But he is still eating and drinking. Should be ok. Poor baby... My mum as well... She stayed over for the 2 nights. Not that I don't want to. But Leroy only wants my mum. And I don't want him to cry so hard and the seizure happens again. Mum thinks the same way and also said she will stay over. Appreciate her lots.

1 day before Leroy is admitted to hosp, we had buy movie tickets to Harry Potter show and plan to celebrate my birthday in advance as hus will be going reservist for 2 weeks from 22-Nov. Which is exactly on my birthday. So 'zun' -_-
Actually I've no mood to watch but mum asked us to go ahead and it's gonna be easier to look after Leroy at home. And he's feeling better now. So we go ahead with our plan. So we send mum home and Lervin to mil's place before going to J8 for our movie. I have never once miss any part of Harry Potter's movie before. =)
The moment movie ends, immediately I took out my mobile and called mum to check on Leroy. I just feel worried. And each time I receive a call from mum, my heart pump extra faster as I'm afraid of hearing something bad. After eating/drinking, after fetching Lervin, when we reached home, i called mum to check on Leroy. I never touch any food except some snacking. No appetite at all. Today too.. Hus had planned to have International Buffet but I had no appetite. Just don't have the mood to do anything. But because hus wants me to relax myself, I went along with his plans. Appreciate his thoughts.

Day 2

The moment I opened my eyes, the first thing that comes to my mind is Leroy. I was about to call mum and she called. She said Leroy is ok.
Hus and Lervin is still in bed so I let them sleep a little longer. Before I leave the house, I woke hus up and told him to go hosp earlier so that when the doctor comes, he can check with him Leroy's status. On the way to work, I called mum again and I heard Leroy calling 'mummy'. My eyes are wet and I'm glad that he is ok. From the time I start work till now, 3.34pm. I keep calling mum every hour to check on Leroy. Did he eat? Is he playing? Is he talking? Is he still having diarrhea? Did the doctor check on Leroy? Never stop worrying although he is fine.
Whereas for Lervin, he keep saying he wants to see Leroy and even cry when hus send him to school. So hus said later he will fetch him and bring him to visit Leroy. Didi will be so happy to see korkor. My sis will be popping by after work as well....
At first doctor said Leroy can be discharge. But after reading the report, he came back and said his body is still not hydrated enough. Need to stay for another night. If everything is ok, He will definitely be discharge tomorrow. ! =) Miss him badly....

Leroy admitted to Hospital

The day which my heart almost died on me.

A very usual day routine during weekday. Reached office and was doing my work when I received a call from sis at 9.30am that leaves me frozen and mind went blank for that minute.
"弟弟中风! 现在要带他去医院"
These 4 words leaves me in a shock. My hands turned freezing cold at that very moment and my heart almost stopped. Quickly called up Hus and informed him. He replied in a shock too and says he will come and pick me to the hospital. Called dad and I can hear he was crying. Can you imagine the toughest dad I've ever seen is crying? Never i my life I've seen him crying except when his mum passed away. My heart almost stop the 2nd time. Is it serious? Is he conscious? Any parts of body he can't move? I cried immediately as I don't know what's wrong with Leroy ! Dad just told me Leroy lied on the bed, clenching both his fist, straighten his legs and eyes are looking up seeing the white. Hearing this makes me worse !!! What's taking Hus so long !!!!
Finally Hus reached at around 10.15am. I can't hold back my tears and I cried all the way from office to NUH. The journey to NUH is like taking forever !!!!! We reached at 10.30am and rushed to Children's Emergency C.S. I was checking where Leroy is and she can't locate on the server after providing her birth cert no, name, address ! She asked me to check with Ambulance C.S to confirm he is ALIVE. I feel like screaming at her !!!!!! But all my mind is trying to find him and I rushed and run all the way to the Ambulance area and saw my dad !! He brought us in and the moment I saw Leroy I can feel a big relief ! He was clinging to my mum and keep crying. I went over to the nurse and check, a female doctor came along and said this is not stroke but a provoke seizure which is something like a fit. He is given drip due to dehydration. My dad cried again. He and mum witness it and it scares the hell out of them. My parents was about to bring Leroy to the clinic for another consult when he suddenly had a seizure. Lying on the bed, clenching both his fist, straighten his legs and eyes are looking up seeing the white. Luckily my mum came into the room and saw it. Mum placed her finger into Leroy's mouth and rushed all the way to the clinic which is just at the void deck. Dr immediately called in the ambulance. That's when I received my sis's call.
After a while, we are given a ward and we brought Leroy up. Leroy fall asleep and we just waited near his bed to make sure he is ok. Less than half hour, he woke up and cry. Dad bought some toast and fed him. Hus is sending my mum and dad back home to take his milk bottles, water etc so I distract Leroy preventing him to see my mum is leaving. So mil and bil sat around the bed and I distract him by feeding him bread. He is ok but looks very sleepy. He is staring blankly at something and I thought it is normal because he often does that when he is too engross in something. I feel something is not right when I wanted to feed him bread and he doesn't open his mouth ! Quickly I turned him over and he is having another fit !!! His eyes are looking up slightly to the right and I can see his white !! I tried calling out to him but he doesn't respond and keep crying !! I shouted at my bil to call the doctor and keep waking Leroy up to look at me... I was so scared then ! I try to loosen his fist and straighten his legs and shouting to my bil call for the doctor quick ! Those bloody nurses and doctors are taking their own sweet time strolling in !!!!!!!! By the time they reached Leroy has come back to us. WTF are they doing !!!!! The nurse gave him oxygen mask and put on a machine to check his heartbeat rate. I asked what's happening and they says it's normal as long as it's not more then 5 mins and can recover by himself. WTF !!! Is that all they can say !! I looked at my poor baby crying due to the fright and there's nothing I can do to help him !!!! The way he looks at us is very different from when he is well.. 神情不对. There's nothing we can do waiting observing and keep our eyes on him. Quickly I called my mum and ask her to come back fast and Hus make a U-turn back to fetch mum back. I can hardly breathe......
Leroy fell asleep shortly and doctor mention it is due to the brain suffered a shock and that's why he is feeling so tired. He will be ok after a rest. I placed him on the bed and I sat beside him looking at him. My heart breaks and it hurts to see him like this. Blame myself for everything that happens to him. Is it because of the food I ate when I'm pregnant with him? Is it because he is not getting enough nutrition? My fault for placing unwell Lervin at mum's place and passing the virus to Leroy. All's my fault ! I can't help blaming myself when I see my baby suffering. How I wish I'm the one suffering instead of them. Hus has bought porridge for me but I have no appetite at all. Eat 2 spoonful and I went over to Leroy's bed and sat beside him. Shortly mum, bro and hus came and my mum is very worried and both of us are constantly keep our eyes on him. Fil, big uncle and his wife came to visit Leroy. My dad came a while later. We stayed until 5pm+ and went back to fetch Lervin home. We didn't want him to come to the hosp as he just recovered. Made dinner for hus and Lervin, prepare Lervin's schoolbag, sterilize Leroy's milk bottle, boils hot water to bring to hosp etc. I can't stop thinking of Leroy when I'm at home. During the 1 hour+ at home, I made like >5 calls to mum asking Leroy's status. Quickly prepare and drive down to NUH with my brother We reached there around 8pm+ and both my sis are there playing with Leroy. Relief ! I can say. Finally I see him smiling and talking. He looks happy when my sisters are there. Hus called shortly I reached and said Lervin is looking for me. Asked my mum to go get some food as she will be staying at the hosp tonight while I look after Leroy. I'm really grateful and fortunate to have my mum around. Always there when I need her help. Hus also agreed my mum is really very 伟大.
We stayed until 9pm+ and the doctor isn't here yet and the nurse keep chasing us. Visiting hours is only till 8pm. Told her I'm waiting for the doctor and waited until 10.30pm. Nurse came over and said Doctor is still busy and will come over later and ask us to go back first. A chinese nurse will be here to assist my mum who only speaks chinese. I was kinda worried and told mum to call me if there any thing. From the time I reach home (11pm) until I sleep (1am+), I had made >6 calls to mum. I know my mum will take good care of Leroy and watch out if there's any unusual behaviour. But 我就是不放心. Leroy is never out of my mind. Even when I bathing, washing he is always on my mind. Will visit him after work tomorrow.

MFS / Lervin is unwell again

Today suppose to bring Leroy for his penumococcal jab. But due to registering both to the new childcare centre which is nearer to our block, we decided to change the appt date.
Currently Lervin is attending CC which is rather far from our place although it's still counted as walkable distance. For myself to walk all the way there from home take about 10 mins. That's when I brisk-walk. Fetching Lervin back home took us 20mins. He prefers walking then sitting. So there's no point to bring a stroller when he wants to walk.
But if it rains and Hus is still working, it's gonna take us slightly more then 30mins to reach home as we'll be taking the shelter which means 1 big round to home.
This is only 1 of the many reasons. Down deposit and Lervin is gonna start attending his new school on 4th Jan 2011. As for Leroy will be in May 2011, when he is 2YO. After, mum keep calling me saying Lervin is running a fever and is looking for us. Sigh~ The never-ending chain.... 1 recover the other sick. Really don't know what's wrong or going on.

Reached mum's place at 7pm+ and mum said he vomited and having diarrhea as well. It is exactly the same as previous month when he was sick. Fed him medicine and place him at mum's place as both parent had to work the next day. Till 16-Nov, we brought Lervin home to rest. In the night, mum called and said Leroy is having fever. Mum brought him to clinic and it's a virus that he caught from korkor... Argh !!!! My mum suffers when either of them fall sick. Went to mum's place today and Leroy is still having fever. Put a Kool-pad on his forehead and he doesn't like so we just try to distract him from removing it. He looks very tired and only wants my mum. Totally different from the usual him. Poor thing....
Hope they will recover soon..

Indoor Playgound : Polliwogs @ East Coast Park / Lervin's review

Appt at 11am at KKH Eye Specialist Centre.
Today is Lervin's 2nd review on his left eye. So much better than before we came as the red bump had become smaller. Just that there is still a little redness and so Dr gave another 2 months for review. Hopefully by then it will be totally cleared. Today's consult is $28/- and 1 small tube of oil-base eye drop cost $11.20. Consult is much cheaper due to we've got a referral letter from polyclinic. If there's no referral, I guess it will cost us $40+ just for consult.

Hus went to few of his outlets to check before going to mum's place and fetch mum and Leroy. We are going POLLIWOGS
! Finally... after months of unconfirmed visits, this time we are going ! I'm excited as well as I love the sandy beaches. It just soothes my mind~

The only play centre in Singapore with an indoor and outdoor play arena. Featuring the largest outdoor inflatable bouncy in Singapore, it is the most fun and entertaining playground, combining indoor, outdoor, and live entertainment and activities for the whole family. Beach side location is ideal for relaxation and other activities for the whole family.
Very nice place which is spacious and bright. Would prefer Polliwogs to Fidgets and Bambini.
Nice place for children to sweat it out and parents to take a short break at the chill area. Updated magazines, internet terminals and internet access at no extra cost.....

Weekdays> 2yrs old - $16
< 2yrs old - $8 Weekends> 2yrs old - $18
< 2yrs old - $9
Each child entry entitles to a cup of tea/coffee. At times there will be promotion like 1 for 1 or certain amount of discounts If you gonna freq there, why not get a Value Play Pass !

Lervin is getting excited as he remember this place just recently!



Lervin is trying to tell didi what is inside. He is very very excited !

Removing sandals


Putting on socks























Snacks ~


My usual greedy baby












They enjoyed themselves ! After the playing, Hus says he wants to go next door for prawning. Don't like that place as it's too small and not much prawns. Even if there is, the prawns are like shrimps.... Prefer going bishan.

Day fully utilised !!!!!
