We’re Finally Back In KL

We’re finally back home today and it has been a very tiring day for me.  Once home, I’ve been working non-stop cleaning up the home that has not been properly cleaned for the past 1.5 months and unpacking my stuff…. and my big luggage is still not unpacked yet.  I’ve also been sneezing non-stop coz my…

Baby C’s Shopping Trip Wearing Her First Pair Of Shoes

We brought baby to Jaya Jusco @ Kinta City yesterday morning to get koong koong a Father’s Day gift. It was her first time wearing her new shoes at a shopping center. Baby still doesn’t have the guts to walk on her own yet at a public place. However, over the past few days, we caught…

Alycia’s First Ballet Exam

This is a backdated post. Alycia had her first actual ballet exam in early May this year. How did she fare? Well I really don’t know coz the exam was held on a day which was 3 days before Baby C’s surgery and I was busy packing our bags then (for the trip back to Ipoh…

Trapped In An Elevator, All Alone

For years, I have been having nightmares of being trapped in an elevator which would free-fall.  When the elevator finally landed, I would wake up from my sleep.  And guess what, this nightmare actually came true several years ago, when I was still employed. I was trapped all alone in the elevator of the office…

What The Gals Have Been Up To In Ipoh

We’re still in Ipoh, enjoying the pampering by koong koong and granny… and of course enjoying the glorious Ipoh food. In a few days’ time, daddy will drive back to Ipoh from KL and bring us all back… which will be Baby C and my return back to our home sweet home after being away…

Baby C’s Up And About Again

Exactly a month ago, it was Baby C’s first day post op. She was puking and retching the whole day and had bunches of tubes all over her body. I was waiting anxiously in the hospital for her to get well, with a heart crushed into a zillion pieces and praying for our nightmare to…

I’ll Need A Home Security System If I Return To The Workforce

I was telling the hubs the other day that I am contemplating returning to the workforce to help us recoup the ‘loss’ we have just suffered. It would take us many years to recoup over fifty thousand ringgit that we had spent on Baby C’s surgeries and hospitalization stay recently. The only person who is…

The Gals’ First Beach Experience

My 3 gals experienced their first beach outing last Sunday. Initially, Alycia and Sherilyn were terrified of the sea water, especially the waves and didn’t want to get into the water.  After much coercion from daddy and koong koong, they went into the water reluctantly…. and in fear! Daddy and koong koong each had to…

When I Could Not Bathe Baby C For 5 Days

Apart from being a health freak, I am a clean freak too.  I can’t stand dirt, dust, stench and absolutely cannot stand not washing my hair or my daughters’ hair, not even for 1 day.  After baby’s first surgery, I could not bathe her or wash her hair for 3 days.  That was still ok as…

Updates On Baby C

Ever since Baby C’s first surgery a month ago, she has been super duper, extremely clingy to me.  She wants to latch on to my boops 24/7 and has been sucking me dry like a leech.  I even have to nap with her for 1-2 hours everyday while she latches on.  The second I pull myself away from…

Pix During Our 4-Day Stay In Hotel, After Baby C’s Discharge

Baby C’s sweet smile of freedom…. finally discharged from the hospital, no more pain, pokes, pricks, prods, insertions, bunches of tubes and cuts.  Notice baby leaning towards one side?  I guess her wounds were still causing her a tad discomfort and she couldn’t sit up straight. Moreover, she had been lying on her back for almost…

Reunited And It Feels So Good

Baby C was finally reunited with her 2 doting cheh chehs on Saturday last week after being away from them for almost a month. The entire Saturday, I just can’t stop myself from singing the song ‘Reunited And It Feels So Good’ 🙂 The whole morning while I waited for them to arrive in Penang (together with…

My Days In The Hospital

Counting back today, I realized that Baby C, my maid and I had stayed in the hospital for 25 days, which is almost one whole freaking long month of being cooped up in a cold air-conditioned room of the pediatric ward…. 25 freaking long days of not being able to feel the sun or breathe…

Thank You

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for baby Cassandra throughout our 3-week ordeal here in Penang.  I especially want to thank Paik Ling for going all out to help me organize a fund-raising drive to help ease our financial burden arising from the ginormous medical bill.  You’re really a God-sent…
