New Bed

This weekend was busy.

Yesterday morning, very early in the morning, Zyan's new bed was delivered at 7.45am.
Yes. It is that early.

We decided that it is time for Zyan to start sleeping in his own room and on his own bed, rather than mattress on the floor in our room. :P
So here is his new bed, with angry bird bedsheet.

Thereafter, brought him to his swimming class. Last lesson for the year.

Afternoon, Karinna and myself went out for lunch. She wanted to try this place called Totts. Anyway, food wasn't great, though it was supposedly devised by celebrity chef.
I guess as long as not cooked by the famed chef himself, it is probably like that. :D

Came back home at 2.30pm. OpenNet guys were already at our home. They were supposed to be here at 4pm. Oh well.
So they were  here to pull the fibre cable connectivity, and place the terminal point at the location in our home. They had previously laid the cabling till the outside of our home, so yesterday they pulled the connection all the way in.
By the time they ended, it's about 4pm.
In between, there were some rains, that probably slowed down their process as well.
Now it is to wait for SingTel to arrange an appointment for them to bring down the modem etc for the final connection. Not sure when.

Evening time, went to NTUC. Had to get drinks and some other snacks as we have guests coming to our home on Sunday, which is today.
Bought quite a lot of drinks. Like kena drought like that siah.

Then we dropped our things at our home doorstep, and went to a wake.
Friend's mother-in-law passed away.
The only easier time-slot to go pay respect was yesterday evening.

By the time reach home, it was already 8+pm.
Had late dinner, and then it was time to make little Zyan to his bed.
He didn't really sleep well in the afternoon, as he wasn't very used to the bed.

Managed to pat him to sleep before 11pm.
He woke up in the middle of the night, asking to be carried, then he wanted to sleep on the mattress at 3am!
So I switched with him.

I slept on angry bird bed, with him on the mattress at the floor.

Hmmm. How long to get him used to sleeping on bed? :)

Cycle & Scoot

Today has been a busy day.

Early in the morning, mom called me, said she leg pain. Wanted me to bring her to see doctor, as her medicine had just run out 2-3 days ago.

Needed to do our marketing today, so brought Zyan along to wet market, do our stuff, went home, then go pick mom to see the doctor.
The clinic is at Potong Pasir, opened from 8am to 12noon on Sat/Sun.

It was pretty crowded. All in all, it took about 1.5 hrs for travel as well as consultation and getting medication.

Supposed to go acupuncture for my own back problem. Didn't do that. Karinna went ahead to do some acupuncture for her legs though.
When I go back home, changed, and went to meet up with the most beautiful woman in the world, and we went for a baptism celebration of her ex-colleague's son.
It is at Serangoon CC, not too far from the place where I picked Karinna from the acupuncture appointment.

At the end of the celebration, we went to a bicycle shop in Ang Mo Kio.
Karinna had wanted to buy a bicycle, so we had looked a little around. We had been to Simei Eastpoint to check out the bicycle shop there too.
We're both not very into bikes, so we know nuts about bikes. Only recently read up a bit, and it appears that Raleigh might be the one for her as entry level.

She had a try at the shop area there. I tried as well, it feels more sturdy than another of the lady's bike there.
So we sticked to Raleigh.
One of the purpose is to go East Coast to cycle, with Zyan on his scooter (and perhaps his own bike in future).
Therefore, a Saris Bone2 rack is also purchased. :P
With that, of course added a rear light, and a bell and a lock.
That's probably all we need for now.

Got home, changed to a more sporty gear, and off we go to East Coast, for the maiden ride of the new toy.

The bike in its own form.

Unmounted the bike, and kept the rack. took out the scooter, then off we go.
One person on the bike, one person on the scooter, and one person on feet.
Simply guess who is on what. :P

Maiden ride on new bike.

Can't really do long today. It was already quite late when we were there.
It was about 7pm when we left East Coast, was already getting dark.

Zyan likes to go East Coast, so I think there will be more East Coast trips for the many weeks to come.
But, I need to solve my 'feet' problem soon. :D

孩子

九点了 他累了 该睡了
抹凉了 换服了 喝饱了
闭目了 歌唱了 他乐了
亲亲了 关灯了 我笑了
夜深了 人静了 睡着了

他翻了 他滚了 他动了
他梦了 他说了 他哭了
我哄了 我抱了 他睡了
又来了 再来了 几次了
夜深了 人静了 我累了

没事了 熟睡了 幸福了

执子之手 与子偕老

谢谢你
让我的生命增添了许多色彩
谢谢你
伴我渡过这半个懵懂人生

谢谢你
让我偷偷进入你年少的心房
谢谢你
与我分享许多的点点滴滴

谢谢你
让我体会温馨的天伦之乐
谢谢你
陪我一起教育那个小可爱

谢谢你
让我继续陪你一起走
谢谢你
愿意陪我一起白了头

Bus & MRT

This morning, I told Zyan if he wanted to go gai-gai.

Of course, his response is very affirmative.

I had wanted to bring him to East Coast again to let him ride his scooter-glider.

Then realised that yesterday, he peed onto the baby/child car seat, and I had not fixed it back yet after the washing of the cover.

So with a quick change of mind, I decided to bring him out for a bus cum MRT ride.

So off we went, waited for Bus33.

Came after a few minutes of waiting, and up we hopped on to it.

This is his first maiden bus trip I think.

Showing his dimple:

 The gong-gong look at the bus seat.



We took to Kembangan, then switched to MRT.

I guess he's excited because of going out, and not because he's taking MRT for the first time.

Waiting at the platform for the train to arrive

Arrival at Singpore Expo station:

There was no aim in going Expo. Purely out of impromptu decision. LOL.

He's a greedy boy. Once alighted, and walked towards the exhibition halls, he saw Texas Chicken's banner, and says "hamburger!".

Ok ok. Greedy boy got his wish fulfilled.

Brought him there to have a small bite.

Look at his face!



Yeah! Hamburger!

After loitering around for a little bit, it was time to bring him home for his lunch.
On the way back to MRT, something caught his attention.

He even sang songs while putting his head in the little hole there.
For me, I just took pictures with my mobile phone, and a video. *giggle*

Once home, had his lunch, then his juice, and off for his nap.
Quite an OK Sunday morning for him I guess.

Redang 2012

We went for the cruise again this year. 01 - 03 Aug.
Star Cruise Virgo to Redang.

It's the The Lees again, but this time, he has a lot of relatives going on-board with him.
A whopping 20-people strength in total, including us.

Anyway, he's the leader of the group, after all, he is sort of a regular cruiser now.

This time round, it is a little bit of disaster for us.
Zyan had some stomach flu on Monday. He vomitted after all meals that day.
Worse of all, he had high fever! At some point of time, it was 39.2 degress celsius!
Brought him to see doctor, had some medicine, and Tuesday seemed to be quite well.
Wednesday morning appeared to be fine too. Great!

Like how it was last year, we went on board around 4.30pm on Wednesday, dumped things into our cabin room, and went for the dinner.
Dinner was so so this time. The so-called fillet I had wasn't great.
Can't remember what else I ate.

After dinner, we went for the show on-board.
It's a magic show by, hmmm, some magician.
It's always interesting to watch magic shows when you don't know the secret behind it.
Zyan looked very attentive during the show, and kept asking me "Why no light?", when the theatre was dimmed except for the stage.
I only told him that the light is at the stage. :P

By the time the show ended, he's also quite tired. Didn't really want to sleep until much later.
Anyway, bathed him, and let him had some milk, and then he fell asleep shortly.

He woke up in the middle of night, asking to be carried. And then vomitted a little bit on me.
Woah! Must buy Toto!
Just a little, not so bad. After wiping him clean, and coaxing him a bit, the little fellow went back to his dreamland again.

Come Thursday morning.
Cool. I felt sick.
I knew right from the moment I woke up, I was unwell.
Felt like vomitting, had diarrhea.
No appettite for breakfast, no appettite for lunch, no appettite for dinner.
Still must push myself to go along with Karinna and Zyan so that Zyan can give his mommy more peace during mealtime.
Once they were more or less done, I still have to make an earlier exit back to cabin room to rest.
Sleep until got headache myself.
Still make myself to go to the Redang beach, which is the highlight of the cruise.
This time, Zyan was awake from the cruise to Redang, and he was happily throwing bread to the fishes at the beach.
I only joined them at the waters after rest a while at some hammock.
Shiok.

The boat ride back to the cruise was very bumpy. One of those old bumboats, no aircon, damn stuffy.

After dinner, they went for the night show as well, but Zyan fell asleep halfway through the show.
Poor mommy had to carry the big boy all the way to cabin room.
Middle of night, Zyan threw out again. This time a lot more, and I was feeling damn giddy with the headaches I had.
Still, he's the one to be served. The parents did all the work. :P

Com Friday morning.
Mommy's turn to be sick.
She had diarrhea. According to her, she went toilet no less than 10 times!
Prawn Dead Me ah!

So we had very very simple breakfast. Both of us also no appettite.
Only Zyan still can eat, although he's still not very well "internally". Greedy boy.
But I guess if your appettite is sill good, it is always a good sign.

By the time it reached Singapore, it's almost 12+pm.
We disembarked around 1pm, and went back home to rest.

Zyan fell asleep on the taxi ride back home.
Sweet little boy.

Next year, Redang 2013?

Light Grouse

At KL LCCT Airport now.

Had to wake up seven early eight early today. Had a 6am flight to catch.
By the time reach customer's site, it was almost 9am already.

Came here to conduct some training session on SAP installations for them.
The thing is, why on earth do this? Why would they need to do installations again? It's all done!
Already voiced out, PM says go on, so I acted as a good boy.

Anyway, I don't expect them to understand much also. I think the audience is pretty much a wrong fit. Alas, just try my best to let them understand some of it.
At least some basic concept should drill into their head.
Installations itself, are really secondary.

In the midst of my session, Karinna called. I rejected the call.
At break time, I saw a SMS about Zyan taking an overdose of medicine, and had to bring him to KK hospital to have more proper check.
Oh! My little boy is being too greedy.

Good that he turned out ok, just needed to be monitored at home.
Hmmmm. Time to have father-and-son talk again!?!?!

So the training went on. It went longer than I expected, as I wanted to share more than installations itself.
Anyway, some questions were raised beyond installations itself, which was actually not bad.
But, I still reserved my thinking that the absorption rate was not very high. :P

Too dry a topic.

Had to rush a little to the train station, so that I would not be late for my flight. I prefer to have ample time always, to take my dinner in peace.
Not bad, reach the airport about 7.30pm. Almost 2 hrs before my flight scheduled to leave.

As I walked, I know I am tired. Been standing for long hours today.
Back hurts, and legs feel weak as well.
Age is catching up. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Well, it's been a long day. By the time I reach home tonight, it's gonna be a new day soon. :P
