Finally...

Finally, I went to 爷爷 and 奶奶's house today. I hadn't been there for about a month.

We went to abuela's house for awhile in the morning. Mummy bought green olives for her. Abuela is cooking some herbal drink with it.

I had a happy time at 爷爷 and 奶奶's house. I ate, ran, played and had the computer to myself for long spells.

Papi spent the day there sleeping and figuring out how to use his Nokia N8.

Another visit to my abuela

After my 2nd abacus class this afternoon, mummy brought me to see abuela. Got to say, she looks recovered.

Yeah!!! I think papi will be happy to hear that too.

OMG, mummy told papi that my teacher said I am totally clueless with the abacus class. Guess, mummy will give me extra coaching. She told papi that my whole class was clueless except Brandon.

Visiting abuela

I heard from mummy that abuela is much better today. I visited her in the late afternoon after attending my 2nd hanyu pinyin class. Yes, she is indeed much better.

姑姑 was on leave and at home too. I think I hadn't seen them for ages. It's been awhile since abuela was taken ill.

We are all relieved that each and everyone of us are getting better, health-wise.

My 舅舅's visit

My 舅舅 was on leave and came by my skool today.

I had lunch at Whampoa market with mummy and 舅舅. After that, we got home and 舅舅 played bubble blowing with me and we also did water colour painting together.

In all, a good day bonding with my 舅舅, whom I hadn't see for weeks.

Finally...

Oh finally, I am quite well enough to go for my ballet class. It is my 4th ballet lesson for the year and an overall, 29th lesson so far. I had missed two lessons recently over the CNY period as I was unwell.

My parents brought me to Shuang Ling Temple after my ballet class. I prayed and also took some sweets back home. Yummy.

葛蘭 - 不管你是誰

Get well soon... and a Happy 元宵节!

Papi hadn't been in the best of health in recent weeks. Coughing, flu, fever, etc. He is on 2-day MC from today and hopefully, a good rest and a quiet weekend can get him up and running next week!

Yup, abuela is also down with fever, pain, headache and a very bad cough. Hope she get well too!

Mummy got the cough. Also wish she get well too!

Here's to good health and wishing everybody a Happy 元宵节!

Kinda okay

Well, my fever has finally subsidied.

It started last Saturday when I was down with fever and despite all the medication, it warranted a trip to KK Hospital on the late afternoon after my fever failed to subside, and kept on breaking records on the thermometer.

For my mummy and papi, the typical worrisome parents when my fever soared to 40 degrees, thanks so much for the care and non-stop sponging of me during those tiring past few days.

I think they can sleep well and soundly tonite.

Happy Valentine's Day and hope this will mark the end to one of my longest fever bouts ever.

It's been terrible...

It's been quite a week. A terrible week.

All 3 of us are down and plagued with bad cough. My papi got fever on Thursday and I caught fever yesterday.

I also missed my ballet class yesterday. Skipped my second ballet class in a row or total missed so far is 3 classes.

To top it off, my parents brought me to KK Hospital's Children Emergency last evening for high fever. My temperature hit 40 degrees!

Luckily, I need not be admitted. However, I was given a 5-day MC.

Today, we never go to 爷爷 and 奶奶's house, instead they came over in the late afternoon.

My mummy complained of being feverish today. I also heard abuela is down with fever and cough yesterday too.

Hope all of us get well soon!!!

CNY 2011: The lion and dragon dance

We were having an early lunch at Whampoa market today. Almost through with our lunch, then we heard the clash of cymbals and drum beat...Come dinner, we had fish head steamboat dinner with abuela. Had a real early dinner as we are rushing home to watch 爱. Will Wawa be saved from the evil clutches of Ming Ming?

Health Advisory

Oh dear, Arsenal drew 4-4 away at St James' Park last night. Papi was so horrified deep into the second half, or rather, the last 5 minutes, that he switch channel to CNBC and watch Jay Leno instead. It was really, really to calm his nerves...

You see, the Gunners were like leading 4-0 just 25 minutes into the game and end up drawing 4-4 and probably, nearly lost the match.

It was sheer agony for a gooner, estacy for a Toon and pure football fantasy for the neutrals. To compare, maybe like that Liverpool truimph against AC Milan in Istanbul.

It must have been a seismic psychological blow for the gunners. How on earth is it that difficult to defend a 4-0 lead? How to cope against Barcelona in the Champions League, which is coming up soon?

All the wrong note

My papi, mummy and myself have been coughing for quite sometime now.

We woke up this morning and decide to go to Nam Seng clinic at Beauty World. Reached there and alas, the clinic is closed and will open on Monday.

Dear oh dear, we had our breakfast at McDonald's and left for home.

2nd day of CNY 2011

Today is the 2nd day of CNY 2011. We had lunch and dinner at abuela's place.

In the late afternoon, we went to Square 2, Novena Square and United Square for window shopping. Not many shops were opened and mummy bought 2 pairs of huggie tights from Cotton On Kids.

正月初一

Today is the 1st day (初一) of the Chinese Lunar New Year. We started the day by going to abuela's house and then to 爷爷 and 奶奶's house. Met lots of aunties and cousins there.

Next stop was to great grandfather's place at Choa Chu Kang. Man, that place was packed with relatives whom I've never met. We went home after that. It was a long journey and all three of us slept on the bus.

Come early evening, we headed to papi's godfather's place at Thomson. We had dinner there. Final stop or the 5th visit was to papi's cousin's place at Ang Mo Kio. We sort of had mee siam supper there.

All three of us were so tired when we got home. We were totally drained.

CNY 2011 reunion dinner

Today is the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year. I went to skool for the 1st time since last Wednesday. Well, it was just for 1.5 hours.

My papi and mummy went to McDonald's Shaw Plaza for their breakfast. They came over to fetch me later. Papi went for his haircut in the late morning.

We went over to abuela's place for our reunion dinner. Had a good meal with my parents, abuela and 姑姑. 伯伯 is in Shanghai and is not back for CNY this year.

I am gonna sleep now... Mummy will be busy putting money into empty red packets while papi will be watching those CNY countdown show. I think I heard him telling mummy that he is watching 周星驰's "God of Cookery" later. I think papi hadn't outgrow those tiresome re-runs yet.

Wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year.

Mummy's "cheongsum" looking CNY dress

Sigh... I am on MC yesterday. Not too bad, recovering well.

As usual, papi is on leave. He is off the office for the entire week.

We went to Whampoa market for a late breakfast cum lunch. Met abuela there too. Papi was busy after that. He met up with an ex-colleague who made us a huat kwey. Papi also got back and fixed up the kitchen light.

Headed to Whampoa market again... for dinner. We had fish soup for the 4th time in a row last evening. We bought 3 pieces of those CNY paper deco.We went to City Square and mummy tried on a few dresses. Finally, settled for this one... because papi said it was nice!Here are 2 nice pictures on CNY. One is taken at the Farrer Park MRT and the other, at City Square.Okay, enough. I am going to skool today. It's only an hour and a half for some CNY celebrations with my classmates.
