Counting down.

final countdown to the big day in Feb!!

17 days to go before the end of the agony of amending the slides.

Just went thru another round with my FD and got to amend the slides again! God, help me!! 

Can’t wait for it to be over and then, i can finally move on to other things on my to do list.

 

---------------------------

My dad will be going for his heart surgery tomorrow.

Though doctor say the risk is not that high for this surgery, but still, anything to do with the

heart sounds scary. So even though my dad keep telling us no need to fuss, but i can sense

that he is really worried.

I initially plan to take leave tomorrow to accompany my mum to wait outside the OT,

but suay suay, the trainer is coming for the next 2 days to prep us for the presentation.

So leave frozen. Sigh~~

So i will fix my eyes on God and my phone, to wait for my mum’s updates.

And meanwhile, say a lil prayer for my dad.

I am sure my God will take care of him. Amen.

Today is REN RI! Meaning its everyone’s birthday!!!

 

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL!! ~~~2 days to friday!! Woot!

CNY gatherings

One of the reason that i love Chinese New year, other than all the goodies to munch,

is none other than the gatherings that we always have.

Other than the gathering of those see-once-a-year relatives type (nothing worth mentioning about..hiakhiak),

i more look forward to the gathering with friends that we hardly get to meet up during the year.

One of my girlfriend is back to celebrate CNY with her baby from London, and she be going back next friday.

So we had a gathering of the GIRLS last sat at my place.

 

It was such a great time of fellowship, where we just sat around, chatting and catching up.

Best part was when we started to remember our secondary school days, having funny and weird

history and geography teachers (ya, we all were from the same secondary sch). So meaning we have

known one another for more than a decade!! OMG!! getting old manz!!

We used to be school girls, playing hockey and floorball together.

Now we are almost all married, some with kids.

Time flies indeed. ~

And of cos, CNY gatherings always should end off

with a time of YU-Sheng,

which is my fave food during CNY.

This is my third one, and counting.

Aim to go for 7 this year.

7 is a good number. 7 for completion. :DDD

Pose for a group photo first…

So lets 捞啊！

捞个wang4 wang4 年 

Wish everyone have a joyful LAB-bit year ahead and till we meet again!! Love you girls!!

And of cos, this is my cute son!!

who was extremely busy moving all the new year goodies up and down the table…

 

End of Jan 11

Time and tide leaves no man.

So true indeed.

The month of January was such a nightmare.

Apart from the year end closing and preparation for the dry run for the AQR presentation, Baby Justin was warded for 5 days in NUH due to Kawasaki disease. In fact, he was already falling sick from the last week of December and recovered on the first week of January. And just barely 3 weeks, he was down again and this time,sick big time. Never did we expect that we are so “lucky”, to strike a disease that only 1 out of a few hundred kids will get it.

Well, life goes on.

Thank God for great friends and family support during this period of time. With all the prayers and good doctors in NUH, baby justin was discharged on last friday. Praise God.

Now, for the next 6 weeks, it is close monitoring at home. No fever pls. God, please contd to cover your almighty hands over this little one.          

Anyway, Daddy Gerald decided that we should capture more quality shots of Justin from now on, and we need a much better camera than the compact Lumix camera that Mummy Kristie was using. Plus he had a team of colleagues who are camera-whores!!!

So now, we own our very first kick-ass DSLR camera!! *whistle**

So on sunday, before the reunion dinner started, we tried out our camera on the star. 

 

2 more days to chinese new year!

May 2011 be the best year yet!! HUAT AH!!

Its a col…………ld and wet weekend!!

 

The rain has starting since sat evening and not yet stopped till this morning.

Wonder why got so much rain? Will there be flooding in some parts of singapore again?

its such a cooling weather to sleep in, snuggle up in bed if we can…

most importantly, Baby Justin is now resting at home and apart from the medicine feeding time, he is almost back to his old self (minus all the whining and stickiness when i am at home).

 

Looking forward to the holidays this weekend!!! Woohoo!!!

Stressful week

This is the most STRESSFUL week of my life.

Apart from the presentation dry run that was supposed to take place on tuesday,

it was the admission of my precious son to the hospital due to KD.

I think i should dedicate a separate entry for the sickness and ordeal itself.

Now, we are almost like medical expert, knowing so much

about this sickness. From 0% to 95% now.

All started off with his fever last thursday, which we all though was

just the normal children fever, plus his premolar was coming out..

never did we expect that things will become that severe.

on Monday morning, we brought him to NUH emergency again and

there after, he was warded as an emergency KD case.

U can see how miserable he look...

Pic taken before he was warded

showing all the clinical symptoms

(almost like hit jackpot... because he has 100% of all the possible symptoms)

soon, he was pretty sedated

It was really a heart breaking moment, to see him on drips,

so lethargic, dont even have strength to move about or open his

eyes on the first day.

Basically, he was sleeping through the whole day and barely

awake for more than 1 hour that whole day.

Did 4 more blood tests, one echo scan, 2 ECG, 1 X-ray.

And on night 1, doc came and said that he was

NOT responding as well to the treatment as what she expect.

Cos he was running a high fever and heartbeat was

all time high @ 180+.

So they standby ICU and the whole house-team to

be on 24hr standby and red alert.

Second day was worse.

because he was starting to get dehydrated, his lips cracked.

So it was painful even to drink from his bottle.

No choice.

Doc had to add one more drip to him.

HEARTPAIN TO THE MAX!!!!

After my presentation, i chiong to the hospital, and i almost broke down

on the spot, cos he had tubes all over and he was crying like

a small kitten, cos he kind of lost his voice also.

SIGH~~~

Thankfully, most of the rashes all over his body and palms subsided halfway

through the treatment.

By yesterday morning, his treatment was completed.

And praise the Lord.

Baby Justin fought the battle very well.

So far, the only rashes left are those on his legs.

which the doc says will take a couple of weeks to fully subside.

Now, we are waiting for the doctor to give him the report card to go home,

as they are keeping him under 48hrs observations to see if there is

any reactions to the treatment and ensuring the fever does not come back.

I am praying that Baby Justin can go home tomorrow.

I believe he will enjoy himself more when he is at home.

A happier soul also allows him to recover faster and better.

Even though medically, doctor say that he need 4-6 weeks to fUlly recover,

and there is a 3% chance of relapse, and that

this is a long term sickness that need prolonged

followup, i am rejecting and cursing all these in the

name of Jesus!!!

My baby is going to be up on his feet soon and back to his

happy days, crawling and drooling ard!!!

Get well soon baby!!

ask and it shall be given!!

Bible says, Ask and it shall be given.

Once again, God is good.

I have only joined my company for about 4 months and i am really

quite fed up with the small pathetic pc monitor that i was using

(not mentioning the slow CPU that comes with it).

I been asking, or i should say, bug my manager for a bigger monitor..

but never got it so far...

until

finally

today!!!

YAY!!

Now i have a 19inch monitor!!! So happy!!!

A happy employee is much more motivated to work, don't u agree!! =DD

Wedding planning

Recently, i have 2 good friends who are in the process of preparing for their wedding.

Looking at how they are going through the whole process, started me remembering my own wedding preparation 4 years ago.

Gerald proposed in Oct 2005, we got ROMed in 2006, and had our customary, holy matrimony and wedding dinner in 2007. In a way, we were more fortunate as we kind of had more time to plan and get things prepared.

But frankly, other than settling the dinner venue and the gown package, all other things only start kicking off like 3 months before the actual wedding day itself.

I still remember how stressful it was during that time. Because I also tendered and decided to move to a new company just 1 month before my wedding. So having to cope with the new working environment and juggling with all the wedding preps, it was really one stressful period.

But eventually, everything fell in place nicely and somehow, the wedding day just passed so fast.

Now, whenever i hear of people preparing for their wedding, i am also excited and one thing that i always tell the couple, is that you got to really enjoy the process, since its really once in a life time thing. Though its easier said than done, but really, after the whole thing, when you look back, you will really miss the times (though i don't know how many people will agree with me. Hahahaha) . Personally, i am a gown fanatic.. so thats the part that i really enjoyed the most!!! Trying on gowns and going for the photoshoot are the best part of the whole planning process. :-)

wedding is a happy occassion. Just do what you think will make you happy. Thats the most impt.
