Seen doctor twice and been to hospital once, it seems like 40 deg Cel. in UK does not really trigger any flag/alert in local healthcare dept. To me as a medic in the army, this temperature for an adult will warrant an IV drip immediately, so I was very surprised that no action were taken except issueing some paracetomol and ibuprofen… No cold bath is recommended either.

On the good news side, Andre was born in the early hours of 25th August 2010, weighing 4.14kg. Very big baby even surprising the UK midwives.

Both mother and baby are ok up till this point.

Busy busy busy.

Approaching 38 weeks now…

Daddy Tan: “Dun keep us waiting.. Dun give Munmmy too much pain.. Dun get out in the middle of the night…”

i) woke up at 4am then slept at 5am, woke up at 7am to help feed Chloe milk, and slept again at 730am till 10am.

ii) painted the fence and learnt a quote. “It is not how much paint you painted on the timber that matters, its how much the timber can absorb that matters.” Often for many things, this principle applies, one of them is, “It is not how many times you read the notes that matters, it is how much that will get into your brain that matters.”

iii) whilst painting the fence I was greeted in mandarin (ni hao) by a group of kids (10 years old max) and I said ni hao back. One of them even did a kungfu style salute. I thought to myself, they must have watched The Karate Kid and they must have thought all handy man possess some sort of kungfu… hehehehe…

iv) whilst painting the fence, listening to my techno songs i did some dance moves and suddenly my mother-in-law tapped me on my shoulder, laughing..

v) whilst painting the fence, someone asked me for road directions, I helped him with my Iphone Google Map, and he was quite impressed with the technology…

vi) I managed to convince Chloe that she needs to behave herself, if not Daddy will punish her. She nodded when I said to her, “If you are naughty, I will put your finger into the froggy’s mouth (ceramic ornament), so are you going to be a good girl?” And she shook her head when I asked, “Are you going to be naughty?”

vii) Instead of the plan of going out for a meal with Daisy, we decided to eat in with Mummy and Gavin, and straight after meal, Daisy complained of pain and tiredness, so now she is sleeping next to me whilst I type this blog post..

What a day.

Thanks guys for the surprise birthday bbq party……

I always like movies based on a true story, and especially if it is 100% factual, so this movie is something that I have to watch, even though my biological clock was telling me to sleep.

What I like about the movie is the humbling touch that the leading female character gave to that young boy. Absolutely magical and it makes the difference in that kid’s life.

Totally must watch!!! I give it a 5/5 stars!!

What I really learn and re-instill into my mind from watching the movie is, I/we need to be living the way the Tuohys are in the movie, in the near future.

Morale of story: Give if you can afford to.

He is a reccon trained sniper, lying al fresco-ly on the rooftop of a building, trying to snipe someone with a HK Sniper rifle, the victim was like max 60 metres away!!

As I watched along the way on the A380, I got more comical scenes, when he physically hear the RPG from behind him, he turned and he did a “Matrix” stunt….

And a lot of other ridiculously not realistic scenes like how he did not get pelletised by the dozens of grenades that was thrown towards him etc…

Go watch it and have a good laugh..

Maybe WWE should just concentrate on their fake Wrestling biz…

-Been to various appointments regarding my pregnancy… Thank God all is well – my placenta has moved out of the way, so that means, currently a natural delivery…
-I feel super duper uncomfortable now, with aches and pains everywhere! My belly feels quite heavy and I just feel so hot in temperature! Feeling a bit granny-fied at the moment cos of the lack of energy and can’t wait to get back into shape after Andre arrives!!
-Been to Holly and Emily’s 6th Birthday party with mum and Anais… Great fun for the kids, Chloe especially – as she walked away with one of the birthday girls’ helium balloons!!
-Been to my bestie’s Bday BBQ… Had a fab time with the bday girl Beth, great food and great company – fab meeting up with others and not having to look after Chloe! My sis and husband managed to look after her, feed her and put her to bed with no issues! Gotta do this type of thing more before Andre comes along!!
-Had another session with my sis, Claire and Mai without the kids! So great to be able to enjoy lunch without the fuss of kids!! Great company and food…

-Anais and Chloe have developed a bond now and it’s fab… Both learn from each other (good and bad stuff!)… But what is nice, is to see how Chloe ‘looks after’ Anais, treats her as a younger ‘sister’ – cos this sort of shows how Chloe may potentially act when Andre arrives…

-Chloe is more demanding and she ‘tests’ me much more now… Example includes: she ‘fake’ cries, esp. at bedtime, with tears flowing down her cheek non-stop! If she doesn’t stop crying when I leave the room, my sister or mum enters the room and blatantly asks her “Do you want to sleep with me (my sister or mum) or do you want to sleep in your own cot?” She has so far declined to sleep with either of them and takes her pillow, stops crying and lies down.. Mum or sis leaves the room and then she falls asleep… She’s usually snoring away within 5 mins on the baby monitor! What on earth!!! Another example, includes – when Grandad is around, she’ll purposely ignore my requests and just sticks to Grandad! She’ll look at me and have this cheeky grin, as to say – “Mum, you are over-ruled!”

I think all of us right now are at a stage very much different from 10-15 years ago (if you around my age). Some of us are married, maybe with a kid or 2, some of us could be dating, not dating, working, or even unemployed.

I think everyday, every moment is part of a jigsaw puzzle, and your entire life is the completed puzzle, they are a part of your life, so just remember this when you are faced with troubles, problems, and unhappiness, that all of these negative things will make you a better person when you overcome it and that is part of your life, your wisdom booster.

So take a breather and really think about what you want and what will make you happy!

My message today is emphasized in this song. Go on and listen to it. Its from MTV.com, perfectly legal to listen to. I just love the whistle bit.. It clings on to my mind… I bet if you listen to it enough, you will start to whistle it too!!!
