In between lil princess wanted hugs... wanted mommy to tug her into bed (not just once.... more like several attempts)... only wen I gave her milk did she dozed off.... and that was about 9ish... normally her bed time would be later but I guess she wasn't feeling well (she's having the sniffles) and I gave here some medication, she dozed off after her milk...

Princess fav...

I did this LO on the weekend.... was rushing to submit this entry to the Scrappin Kids challenge March....The challenge was to do an LO on your child's favourite thing.... it took me a while to decide among all which are her favourites.... and this is what I came up with....
Arissa's favourite thing to do is spending time with her mommy.... Though she may have a lil blankey (called Bei2) or her Dora pillow and doll.... it will always be her mommy...... she would demand every single time I have to be with her.... to play, to draw to watch DORA.... all these, mommy have to be around.....
Am not too good with the journalling bit yet.... "Spending time with mommy, lots of loves (love brad) from my mommy, hugs and kisses & more kisses..."
This will be my 2nd time entering a challenge... so far all my LOs are for my eyes only... I've never showed anyone except to families and some close friends.... All the LOs i do are pretty simple.... I am not that good at matching 2 patterned papers as yet... hehehe.... stilll learning as I progressed....

Bzzz... bzzzz... Bzzzzzzz...... wen will tis end....!!!!!!???????

Been wanting to blog for the past few days but everytime I am in... work kept piling up and ahuhhh.... no can do... had to leave and finish up the load.... busy with the company function which will take place tomorrow..... oh noooo.... still a lot to do and I am sooooo stressed out.... names keep coming and changing.... I guess very typical of any companies..... but I am glad to have great colleagues helping me out.... to dem all.... my gratitude.... thank you very much....
After my last blog, Arissa is now better.... oh... we had our family trip last 2 weekend to Kota Kinabalu.... hehehehe..... she kept saying "Mommy, we go Singapore ah"... hehehee..... had to convienced her we are in KK.... the trip took us about half an hr... hahahahaha.... very short indeed... I can still remember the bus ride me and hubby took the last time with a few friends to KK.... the worst 10 hrs ever on the road... never again!!!!!!!!!..... The hotel we stayed in was not bad.... we took the Premier Suite at the Radius Intl Hotel, Waterfront KK.... getting into the lift to the 7th flr (that's where the reception area is)... was not a good sight but stepping out, hmmm.... not bad..... impressive.... we got der at about 9ish am... room wasn't ready so we had to tour around Centrepoint for the next few hrs..... the longest wait ever.... by the time it was 1pm... we were pretty tired, Arissa was cranky.... and I decided, lets just wait at the hotel lobby.... good ting was walking back to the hotel was less then 10 minutes... hahaha... it was just behind Centrepoint (good location)..... we only had to wait for about 10minutes and off to the room.. we couldn't wait to put our feet up and lie down... will post some pix of the room... it may be labelled as a Suite but don't expect too much... we stayed in the room till 6ish pm.... went off again for dinner and a lil shopping......till about 10ish..... We checked out about 10am the next day.... Y soo early??? Hubby was tinking by the time we shopped around it would be about 1ish and we would be rushing.... we checked out, left our baggage and back to Centrepoint... tis time we spent most of our time on the 4th flr... the best shopping area... not coz of the BRANDS... but better selections.... our flight wasn't till 11pm... imagine the time we had.... we went round Centrepoint till about 2ish... round Warisan Square area till about 4ish... took a taxi to Parkson.... shopped till about 7ish.... had dinner and left for the airport about half eight...... the airport is pretty confusing.... we weren't sure which counter was used for RBA checked in.... finally we got to the right one.... didnt take us long as there were only 20 passangers incl us... hahaha..... I was glad when we finally took off at 11pm and landed in Bandar at half 11..... Arissa only slept about 1ish..... am.... and I had to work the next day.... aaarrrggghhhh....
That was my KK trip.... Blog again tomorrow... now very sleepy

Another Week... Glad Its Over!!!!

I am glad lil princess is all well again.... FInally she took solids last Sunday... last week was a nightmare but glad we got thru it... Our lil princess came down with the Hand, Foot, Mouth... also known as HFMD.... the last time i blogged was she coming down with a fever... That evening we brought her to the clinic.... her fever's down... but ulser's building up in the mouth..... was hard to feed her even fluids... no milk no water.... We decided to bring her back to Lumut for quarantine as we were not sure what it could be... Chicken Pox.. HFMD... no answer as no spottings on the feet or hands... she was all cranky as she felt discomfort... who wouldn't... even I would... just imagine her having alot in the mouth... even us adults can't stand the sore feeling...

I had to go to work the next morning... Mommy's very sory but I was still on probation... but I knew she was in good care.... called several times to check on her... could hear her crying.... we knew she was hungry but she refused taking anything... around half 1, in-law called to tell us she noticed spottings on her feet.... took that afternoon off, texted my boss to advise and off we went back to Lumut... reaching home, she was taking her 'la-lac' (cerelac).... and drinking water.... though she started taking food and water, we still brought her to the hospital to check... we were the very last patient... she refused to open her mouth... the doctor couldn't diagnosed much too... asked for us to return on Thursday for 2nd review..... That evening, she tried taking various food... 'la-lac', water, biscuits, milk.... all she cried.... she went to sleep without taking much.... Next morning, hubby decided I should take the day off to bring her to the hospital again... this time in Bandar as she is refusing even fluids... It was scaring us both... and that morning wasn't pleasant... a big argument... But we managed to get in the car and drive to JPMC.... though it was expensive, but every penny spent was worth while... Doctor confirmed it to be HFMD... the spotting are more den... on the legs, palms and butt.... I took the day off... Sis came over to accompany.... was happy to see her take 1 glass of cold milo without crying.... but after that... not even water.... came to a decision to apply the medication to numb her mouth.... though it hurts alot to hear her cry, I had no choice... still she refused to take anything... in the end, I came to a decision to use the drip (some sort of syringe) to feed her water and milk... We had to hold her down... I had to ask mom take 2 days leave... to watch her till the weekend as I prefer her close by in case of emergency...

Next 2 days was going out for lunch to go home to feed her... not an easy job but someone had to do it... we went back to Lumut on Friday and it was harder to feed her as she knew the in-laws would protect her.... smart gal... but with this mommy... she has got no choice... I knew she was all well, when she 1st took the water to drink .... from a cup.... so Sunday, I came up with a idea... I pretended to ask for her chocolates which she was willing to share.... She took 1 put into her mouth and started munching away... aha... she's all well... no more sores... I believe she was still scared of the pain... but after finising the chocolates, she took biscuits... aha... even better.... yes... she is cured....!!! 1st chocolates, biscuits... den came to milk... she resisted at 1st... when I told her I was gonna give it to Jonathan (our neighbour), she took her bottle and finish it all... hahaha.... really funny but am glad we got thru the nightmare....
She's still in Lumut... we are leaving her der for now... till the air is clear.... A bit down yesterday as hubby was too tired to drive home... so I don't get to see my lil princess.... am missing her lots... have grown to love her more each n every day... though my temper is still bad... Tis morning not a good start to a beautiful day.... argument about transport... oh watever.... too lazy to think of it...

Hey... before I forget, here's my not so-wonderful LO. Not that clear... No journalling done on this... not too confident at that time and my handwriting Sxxxx... hahaha.... It took me a whole day.... keep thinking I don't have enuff until the hubby said... STOP.... Its enuff... hahaha..... Couldn't bring my self to stop...
Another LO... simple... but I simply love the Black, Red and White concept..... The red and black dots are actually beads... hahhaa.... experimented a lil bit... Hehhehee... Got to go back to work... Will post some more LOs.... but don't expect too much... its's not greatness....

Another Monday!!!!!....

Its another Monday.... week sure fly by fast.... Last I blogged was last Tuesday...
What did I do last week??? Hmmm.... let me tink.... Work... and more work and more work... haha.... Got nothing much to blog on except for work... hell no... I had a good weekend... Went back last Friday evening to Lumut... good at least a few days in scrapping.... reached home round 8++.... No dinner as in-laws had take away... We ended up cooking noodles...Our local Fav... Indo Mee... Our lil princess loves it too.... Hubby was soo occupied fixing the new LCD he bought... a 37" ... hahaha and boy do we not have space anymore.... but oh well... he has owez wanted one anywhere and he's got it.. he only managed to hook up the home theater... which sounded very goooddd.... well a good investment in a way..... I, on the other hand, was browsing through my scrapbook mag for a card project for Tuty (aka Baby - Best freinds' Sister)... She gave birth to a baby gal last February... Congrates my dear.... Hmmm... I seem to lost touch on my scrapping... I guess doing it alone is pretty boring.... I should attend more scrap gathering... but I am not good.... just someone who follows a certain LO but mix n matches with something else.... hahaha...
Saturday, we went for lunch at Pizza Hut, Sg Liang.... man the service is slow and the food is not as good.... Late afternoon, we went to the travel fare in OGDC, Seria... the fares' good, only problem is we don't know when we can take leave together... oh well... we will have to wait n c... took Arissa to the playground... she played the slides... swing was occupied with the older kids... no chance for her... we stayed for about 15mins and left for home.... Oh ya... finally came with an idea for the card.. well.. I had to copy some... and as usual change this and that... and wallaaa... a Pretty Pink Card.... Another belated CNY open house to go to... Aunty Lan in KB.... Arissa took a short nap in the car and lucky us she was not cranky... she went to play with Mei2 Shen2.... I hope I did not offend that someone but I am not happy too with her remark.... Urrrgghhh... who scarezz....!!!!!! Left around midnite... tiring nite...
Yesterday.... was an adventure for me and lil princess.... left us in KB town for 3-4hrs... he brought the car for servicing... 1stly we went to Nanyang... the only shop that sells good toys and stationery... its small but me and princess simply adores it.... her shopping day... bought plenty of stickers... gave me the chance to wash some pixz as well.... we had a small incident after that... she kept me in a toilet for half an hour and still nothing... Need to learn to have more more patience.... finally she agreed to have some lunch which was good... she ate quite a lot.... after our lunch, we went to see new slippers.... am not getting her shoes as she is quite fussy with them... after showing her that a particular slippers has got lights ... we bought it and she wore them on the spot... it was quite cute to see her looking for the lights... we went back to Nanyang to collect the pictures.... bought some more stickers.... she browsed thru more toys... and decided its really toilet time again... and this time, she had no problem.... pheww... bought her a new Dora DVD... she was happy.... was feeling as lil tired and clueless on where to go next, brought her to KFC for another cup of Milo and some chix nugget.... and we came across Aunty Belinda (Ku Po).... Hubby came only around 4ish.... that's not the end... we dropped by Soon Lee, KB and yup, he bought the Nintendo WII.... which according to him is the last toy he will buy (for now... hahaha)....
Got home around 7ish... Changed lil princess to her PJs.... oh well my mistake to wake her up... Hubby was busy playing games while I gather new ideas for an LO of Arissa n Kung2... Put lil princess to bed around 10ish ... but I had to let her watch the new Dora we bought... noticed she didn't take her milk and realised she's coming down with a fever... someone should have advised me we ran put of her medication.... but I am grateful she bought something similar to help... Only manage to get to bed before midnite...
This morning drive from Lumut was fast though we left around 6.40am... Got to work around 7.45... hahaha in time but in the worst working clothes ever... I need to bring Arissa to see the doctor later... Back to Work!!!!!!!!!!!
