Kieron & his first pet - Kiki the kitten

Today I let Kieron bring Kiki for outdoor play. He had fun taking photos of the playful kitten and running after her. MaoMao, the mother cat was rather cool. She was sitting next to the wall, cleaning herself up, watching how the 2 Ks running about. When Kiki jumped onto her, she just push her away using her nose calmly - referring -- Leave me alone. hehe..

Here's some cute pics Kieron taken using my hp. Kawaii!!





My boy and his girl

080808 - 8th August 2008 (Part 2 - videos)

This is what Kayden been doing lately. Crawling, pushing, lazing, shouting. Trying to be like a pirate, grabbing whatever that came in sight.

AFter his nap...


I called him 强盗, Kieron called him 海盗. haha...


He's tired but still insisted in his pirating activity..

Kayden trying to wake Kieron up

This was taken a few days ago when Kieron was taking a nap. Kayden woke up from his nap and saw his brother still hadn't got up. So he tried to wake him up but failed. So he changed his target to the things on bed.



After Kieron woke up, when I showed him this video at night. He was quite surprised and claimed "Why didi wan to wake me up!?"

080808 - 8th August 2008

This is my Kayden who learnt very fast. He's into tripod sitting now, a term which the doctor used to describe him earlier in KKH's assessment. hehe.. He just like to show off when he managed to amaze us with his "stunts". See his cocky expressions and smiles? hehe..


This is the little kitten that we saved back earlier on, she's getting more mischievious and chubby.. See her pitiful yet cutey look. Her name is Kiki,Kieron named her himself. haha..

Kayden's August's followup at KKH

It's Kayden's routine followup at KKH for his prematurity.

As usual, he had Anaemie - Anaemia is a condition in which the haemoglobin concentration in the blood is below a defined level, resulting in a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells.

However, his condition is improving after 1mth of increased Iron supplements twice everyday. Hopefully he will reach the normal range by the time he goes back for another followup in Oct.

He had a sudden growth after being sick for the past few weeks. hehe.. He weighed 6.6kgs now and with a height of 63cm, head circumference of 41cm. It's quite a funny followup today. When the doctor asked how's Kayden's progress, I told her about his crawling. She looked at me in doubt, "Could it be just normal flipping? You mean he push forward?" hahaha.. "Yes, he pushed forward using his knees".

Okay.. I know she won't believe me with my words, cos he's just 5mths old biologically. haha.. When she did assessment on him on the observation bed, haha.. Her comments were "Very good, my boy" "You are really smart" "You did a great job"

She and her nurse were amazed to see Kayden grabbing things and passing from hand to hand. To see him sitting on his own without external support but by his own hands on the bed. He's indeed progressing faster than others. Finally, they BELIEVED what I told them earlier. hehe..

Other than his blood issue, all were fine. He's really a cute, happy and cheerful baby. Just today, he had about 11 outsiders carried him cos he smiled and talked with them. hahaha.. From Kieron's schmates parents, to waiting patients' parents in KK as well as foodcourt stall holders at Yew Tee.

Crawling(Starting stage) & Enjoying 1st biscuit(Teething rusk)

Kayden happy to see his elder brother around.



Kayden enjoying his first teething rusk. He chewed on it for half an hour, gave up when he realised it's just so hard. hahaha..

An eventful day with -- CATS

Remembering I mentioned about returning the kittens to the mother cat this morning?

We went to check on the kittens before going to and back from Kieron's school. The mummy was with the 3 kittens all the while, as if worrying of losing them again. Till late noon around 5pm+, just when I was waiting for Kieron to wake up from his nap so as to buy some cat food for the cats from nearby supermarket, I saw 2 Malay students from my living room's window. One of the Malay gal was holding the Ikea carton that I left there, she caught the 3 kittens and placed them in. So I assumed she's gonna adopt them. Thanks god.. She got the mother in as well, but who knows mummy jumped out from the box when the gal was about to leave. & there was another gal shouting and urging the Malay gal to leave fast, the gal got a bit panic and took one of the kitten out from the box and left it beside the mummy. She walked away. Leaving the poor mummy cat and kitten sitting by the road, stoned. (oh my god!)Just when the mummy realised her kids were gone, she went crying again. She was afraid that the last kitten may get lost, she immediately took her by her neck and hid in a corner.

Kieron and I saw everything and felt really sad for the mummy, so we went to buy some canned food back. & we decided to bring the mummy and last kitten back home, we worried that someone will leave the mummy alone again. It's so disheartening to see a mother cat crying and walking around aimlessly, going back to her old hideout places looking for her lost babies.

The mother recognised me when I walked towards her. She came rubbing my leg and started meowing, as if telling me what happened to her babies. Normally a mother cat be very defensive towards strangers or anyone who touches her baby. But this mummy cat is very affectionate, she was really quiet when she and her baby were placed in a huge basket that I brought along with me. Both of them quickly settled down when they reached my house. Mummy cat recognised the smell the other 2 lost babies left previous day and started meowing again, she walked to the main door, looked at me pitifully wanting me to open the door. She really walked out and went downstairs again, she went meowing and looking for her babies. Half an hour later, she came back. Meowing to me again, as if telling me she can't find them. I felt pain for her. She came to me, and I gave her massages, assuring her she be alright with her kid at my house, consoling her though her 2 other babies were gone, but she still has to take care of her last baby left for her. Whenever Kieron and I sat down on the kitchen's floor, the 2 cats will come to us for patting. Just so loving..

hmmx.. Jason wasn't really happy about it, cos he's afraid of mess. But, luckily so far, the mummy cat knows how to go out to poo n sh sh then come back home. As for baby cat, she knows how to pee in the designated peeing basin laid with newspaper. As for their future, I still have to make really serious decision with my brother, who is also a animal lover. As for now, I can assure them by giving them a place for shelter with ample food and love.

People may think I'm being a busybody, mother cat being separated with her own kids are normal. But, I know the pain of losing own child before. It's really painful and unforgettable no matter how much time had passed. I really hope she will have a lovely motherhood with her last baby now.
This is the mummy cat, just as lovely as the kittens. She has clean and neat fur too.

It's really a happy day today!

I went out early this morning at 6am. Why?

When I woke up at 5am to feed Kayden, I heard this cat meowing non stop downstairs. As you know, it's 7th mth and the sun hasn't come out yet, so I dared not look downstairs. But, after about 45mins, the cat was so still meowing. So I ignored the thinking and looked downstairs. It seemed like it's the kittens' mummy!

I observed the cat for a while from my bedroom window. She was jumping high up and searching low at the place where I picked the kittens. & I saw her crossing the road over to my void deck. Her nipples were sagging, it meant she's still breastfeeding. Oh yes!! She's THE MUMMY!

So I used the same red bucket, wanting to bring the kittens back to their mummy. Just nice when I on the lights, the kittens came running for me, they were hungry.

When I brought the kittens down, the mummy was on the grass patch. When she looked at me, she simply ignored me. But just when I let the pail lie flat on the grass, she was so happy to see her kittens went running towards her. All 4 of them were meowing. The sight was so heartwarming. There was this Malay grandma with her granddaughter waiting for school bus felt happy for them too. The kittens rushed to their mummy's tummy and drank to their fill.. Mummy's breastmilk is still the best.

After I left, I looked at them from my window again. I saw the grandma very loving too. She used the umbrella to stop the kittens from running away again. She pushed them back to the void deck when they tried to run towards the road.

So I brought the ikea's carton and some new cat food for them, this time I woke Kieron up. Wanting him to see the mummy as well. He had been worrying about the mummy since last night, wondering if she's ok, if she's still alive. He was so happy when he saw the kittens sticking with the mummy too. We both hugged and said, "The mummy is back, the kittens had mummy again."

Though the kittens were only with us for a day, but I believed Kieron learnt alot that he may or may not be able to experience again. He showed great loving concern, responsibility and sensibility. Way to go, my dear Kieron.

See the kittens sleeping together in the tunnel I built for them. 3 kittens in 1 tissue box.Taken last night before I went to sleep.
The heartwarming, tears welling moment. Happy Reunion.

Kayden doing stunt

Kayden gave Kieron and I bad fright this evening.. Just when I walked back from the kitchen to the living room, I thought I saw something not right. Kayden seemed to "grow taller" when he was sitting in his walker.

Oh No!! He was standing up! Kieron saw it and asked me why didi was standing up on his own too.. Kayden even turned around and gave Kieron a wide smile..


See how happy he was when he stood up on his own.

Realised the height difference of him standing up and while sitting down in the walker..

Kayden really gave me alot of "special" frightening moments from the second he wanted to come out to this world till now...haha.. & Sweet little Kayden finally crawled out a few steps using his knees. He can crawl from 1 end of the mattress to another end now.

New super cutey members of my family

hehe.. Today Kieron and I went to save 3 little abandoned kittens.

The sun was so hot and bright. From early morning when I started spring cleaning my house, window washing, fan washing and doors washing to vaccum floors. It took me about 3hours, and the kittens wailed for the same number of hours at opposite void deck too. Poor kittens, they were crying so loud that people gathered around to sayang them.

So I called my youngest bro for help. He immediately went to buy some kitten food and rushed over to my house. & I went to save them with a red bucket. hehe.. I don't why I will rush down too. It pained my heart to see the kittens running and sitting under the hot sun wailing. So before my brother came, Kieron followed me to bring the kittens back. Some of the neighbours are really helpful, they helped me to catch the kittens back when they tried to run into the lift. Poor kittens, they are so skinny and small.. But they are really pretty..

Yeah.. After they finished the food my brother bought, they became so active. They explored the kitchen and toilet. Everywhere. 3 of them are girls. There's 1 I like so much. All 3 of them have different characteristics. The one I liked loves to hide in shady corners - behind the washing machine, in between of the fridge and the cupboard. 1 with the larger patch of colored patterns loves to stick with human. The 3rd one which is smaller, likes to sleep and rather reserved.
This is the one that I like most.

I kept them in the kitchen, don't want them to go to other parts of the house as Kayden starts to crawl, it isn't good to have pets roaming around the house as well.. Now, we hope to keep the kittens big and healthy before letting them go, either for adoption or keep 1 or 2 as pets.

Kieron is so loving to the kittens. He will handle them with care, carrying them gently, putting them back to their "planned" sleeping area when they tried to roam around. When his dad joked of throwing his kittens down, he gets so agitated. & claimed he's the mummy of the kittens. hehe.. He spent most of his time today playing and taking care of the kittens..

Peek-a-boo fun

Kayden and Kieron are greatly overwhelmed by Peek-a-boo game these few days..

Both will laugh so much that at night, you can hear them screaming or even laughing when they are deep asleep.

They can play this game no matter where they are, from the behind of living room's sofa, in and outside of the bedroom, using pillows even in the sarong. I always feel so satisfied to see the boys laughing heartily. hehe.. I will have the urge to join in the fun..


Inside the sarong


Inside the playpen

After taking this pic, I realised how much Kayden grew. I wonder how's his blood test for the coming followup at KKH.

Kayden's fav teether toy, he will snatch it when you try to tempt him by shaking it in front of him.

See how fake Kieron smiled when I interrupted to pose from his new Naruto Psp game. hehe...

Kayden being "confined" in his playpen when I'm tired of pulling him back after he crawled away from the safety zone either on bed or on the floor. hehe..

Backdated photos

Here's a "comic strip". Taken few days back after Kayden's bath.
Kayden : "I wanna break free"
Kieron : "Haha.. No way! Im gonna eat u up"

"Sobz sobz.. Luckily I made my escape.. Let me dry up my tears."

"Hey.. Why are you taking my photo?"

"I must use my ultimate force to kick you away!"

"Aiya.. Still dont want to give up? Let you take all you want ba..."

P/S: hehe, actually they had fun, I just made up a short story from the pics.

After Kayden started crawling, I leveled dwn his sleeping mat. & This Kieron tried to squeeze in..

You see how happy Kieron was when he finally got in the playpen.

Notice Kayden's expression? As if he's thinking inside "Why korkor wanna squeeze with me when he already has a super single bed.....?"
