Lover's Concerto - Lovely.. Just so sweet

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up in the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody
Oh! See there beyond the hills
The bright colors of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us
Just to fall in love
You hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
Now, I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you
Every part of me
Oh! Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally
You hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

Good or Bad lei...?

We just got back from Kayden's routine followup at KKH. There are a piece or good news, and a piece of bad news...

Good news..? Kayden's blood level increaed by 0.3%! Bad news..? Kayden's blood level is still consider below average.. Meaning he still have anaemia, he lacks of blood stone in him due to prematurity.. So he has to increase his Iron droplets intake daily, from 3 drops twice a day to 5 drops twice a day.. and also to drink more vegetable and meat soup.

Age : 7.5mths old
His weight : 7kg (up 25% )
His height : 64.5cm(up 20%)
Head : 43.5cm (up 50%)

Kayden is a brave boy today. When the nurse poke his little finger for blood test, squeezing and pulling his finger to collect his blood, Kayden didn't fidget, no tears, no scream. He even winked at the nurse. haha..

Doctor said Kayden will be an active boy cos his progress is faster than normal kids and it's good to learn early but not late. At least I feel more consoled after hearing that my son isn't a monster. hahahahahaha.. opps..

Medical fee increased again... Usual fee $30+, today $40+ with same consultation and tests taken. ... ... ...


Taken this morning at 8am. Kayden and his fun musical table..
My dear potato been waking up at 6.30am these few days, had several grouchy moments and doesn't really have good appetite. Think it's for his teeth rupture period.

My cutey boys

Kieron and Kayden. 2 active boys I have do drain out 95% of my energy everyday. hehe.. Whenever they are awake, there's no moment for them to be quiet down. Either crawling, jumping and doing mischievious things. They are not hyperactive, but just can't sit still for at least 5mins. Maybe for Kieron yes, when he's playing game or watching TV. haha.. For Kayden yes, when there's food in his mouth. haha..

Been doing tidying on this Hari Raya public holiday since morning, now, things on top of TV consoles and sofas had to be out of reach from Kayden. This little potato will stand up and try to reach that particular thing that caught his attention.

Tomorrow will be Kayden's routine followup on his prematurity and anaemia as well as progress assessment. I wonder how will it be. hehe.. Hope his blood level will be higher than the previous test taken mth ago.

Old Ah Ma's way of wrapping

Kayden is being wrapped differently starting from today. hehe.. This is used when he's on alert mode. Now he started walking, he will try to stand up in the previous way of wrapping. Cos there's cloth under his feet, he thought of using that as support.. So I changed to this way, there's no way he can stand up, unless he tries to stand up on my waist. haha..

Don't know why, I still have this vivid memory of my ah ma carrying me around in this similar way when I was about 2-3yrs old.. I miss my ah ma so much..

Bitey Kayden

This little potato is starting to test my patience like what his brother been doing. hehe.. He knows I hate him for not being streetwise, bite whatever he sees, so he will "test water" first. hehe..

Whenever he sees something, he will look at me, and smile.. If I remain quiet and smile back, he will immediately put the thing into his mouth. If I say "No, I know what you are thinking, cannot bite", he will smile and leave the thing alone, BUT few mins later, he will go back to the thing when I'm not looking at him. hehe.. Cheeky fellow ya..

Part 1 -- My sleeping Barney Bolster
Smiling
Letting go
Biting

Part 2 -- Toy
See his wicked glare and smile.

Kayden is a 妖怪 (Updated version)

(Taken 29th Sept 2008)

On Saturday's afternoon, My dear little Kayden stood up on his own with support of the sofa's edge and walked a few steps. I was on the sofa watching TV when I saw him smiling to me. I screamed... "DIDI, YOU ARE AWESOME!" Just when I ran into the room to take the camera, thinking I'm gonna tape down his act to prove my words (cos many sure doubt my words "how can a 8th mth boy stood up at tis time of age?"). I was too late, he dropped hard on his butts. haha..

Wasted that I can't tape down on time.. But never mind... There will be other chances. hehe..

On Sunday, when we're at my mum's house. This little monster stood up on his own a couple of times in front of my dad and brother. haha.. YEAH! My words were proven. They opened their eyes real wide, mouths opened big -- 他是妖怪. hahaha... My dad even cracked a lame joke, cos he really did walked on his own when he's 9mths+ old 50+yrs ago, so he added one more sentence "I was running around the kampong 10 months old". My brother and I both had cold fake laughs "Wow.. So smart". haha.. He's trying to prove that he won many kids.

Hopefully I have the time and chance to video down this monster's actions, maybe tomorrow. He's kinda cute now, small sized as in height but actions are mature, a little cutey potato. He will be going KKH for his routined followup next Thursday, hope his blood condition improve.. haha..

Taken few nights back when the 2 boys playing together in Kayden's playpen. Kieron just loved squeezing with Kayden in that small playpen.
Kieron took a few photos with different poses, a very cheeky fellow. Kayden doesn't lose him for that. I forsee my "Merry" "ENJOYABLE" days in a couple months time. haha.. It's already starting now..

Stages

Love...

Today I suddenly feel like sharing my thoughts on this topic - Love..

"To love" means...
Some may get hurt when the one being loved doesn't appreciate.
Some may get hurt when the one being loved did something hurting in return.
Some may get hurt when the one being loved had gone without explanation.
Some may get hurt when the one being loved loves someone else yet refuses to let go.

Some may be happy when the one being loved did something loving to show their appreciation in return.
Some may be happy when the one being loved is happy and healthy.
Some may be happy when the one being loved remembers everything that is done for them.
Some may be happy when both are bonded greatly despite all kinds of obstacles faced.
Some may be happy even when there's just a kiss on the forehead after a day's work.
Some may be happy when sacrifices are done to make the one being loved to be fortunate.

"Being Loved" means...
Some may feel upset when the one who loved is using a wrong way of expressing.
Some may feel upset when the one who loved isn't the one whom they wish to be with.
Some may feel upset when it's time for them to show their love in return, the one who loved no longer is around.
Some may feel upset when own's trust is being questioned.

"Love scenarios" means...
Some may love with a thought of forgive and forget.
Some may love with a thought of revenge.
Some may love with a thought of sympathy.
Some may love with a thought of gratitude.
Some may love with a thought of self belief.
Some may love with a thought of destiny and fate.
Some may love generously.
Some may love agressively.
Some may love possessively.
Some may love in a world of fear.
Some may love in a world of hope.
Some may have to live being an optimist
Some may choose to live in ownself's protected and limited boundary just to shower love and receive love.

The Love Cycle means...
Acquaintance -- Courtship -- Couplehood -- Marriage -- Kinship

Why the cycle is like that?
Acquaintance -- Both needs to know each other in order to explore different traits of interests.
Courtship -- It's carried out when one party showed great interest in another
Couplehood -- When both decided to be steady together, they shared thoughts and opinions.
Marriage -- A way of representing the stability of bond and love levels between 2 parties, exchanging promises of loving and taking care of each other till the end of the road.
Kinship -- A stage whereby the passion and sweet love had upgraded to the love of kinship. One is willing to show own's bad and good points, sharing vows and woes, no matter how big the problem is, there still someone there willing to lend a helping hand. Love doesn't has to be always mention verbally, but it still can be felt clearly even there's a difference in distance and time.

There are many other kinds of love and ways of loving.. To know what and how, you have to live till the fullest, be challenging and brave.

There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved.

P/S : I had nothing wrong with my love life. So don't worry about anything after reading my post. Just lazy to upload photos and update on my kids' status. Just wanting to type how I feel and things I learnt all these years...

Double "H"s day

Why Double H? First H, I think all Singaporean will agree with me, H = HOT! hehe.. Weather been so hot lately... Second H, this has been one of the "coolest" thing that cannot go without on Hot Hot days, that's Happy Face...

Morning.. Kieron and Maomao.. While waiting for my dad to reach our house to fetch us to school, Maomao came over to say byebye to us. Kieron's very attached with the cats now..



Afternoon.. At mum's house, after Kieron's school.. Still deciding where to spend our boring afternoon. Cos of the hot weather, we decided to wait at mum's house and meet parents for dinner in the late afternoon..My youngest Mischievious brother teased Kayden when he knew Kayden had no teeth for the titbits, so he did these to Poor Kayden. haha..





Late afternoon, after dinner with my parents. While waiting for my mum to come back from NTUC. the kids playing with my dad with his car's steering wheel.



In the evening till before bedtime, I drew this. Kieron and I completed the colouring for 3 full hours.. hehe.. Due to the lighting, it looked quite dull. Maybe I will try taking a nicer photo of it tomorrow morning..

Festival of Lights

In coming October, there are 2 festivals to celebrate.. There's one thing I liked about Singapore, is that, we have many races living and bonding together as one big family. No matter which race is having their own special festival, but other races will join in the fun too..


The coming 2 festivals are Malay's Hari Raya Puasa and Indian's Deepavali.. So my dad brought us out on Saturday's night for a car tour at Little India and Geylang Serai. Wow~!!! There're traffic jams and crowded streets with shoppers from all races. It's really a happy sightseeing moment. Both areas had lightings hanging above the roads and even on trees. You can see shops packed with many people buying things in need for the festivals.


Especially Geylang Serai, even when we reached there at 10pm, the place was still so crowded. Though lightings here wasn't as fanciful as Little India's, but at the both sides of the road were pasar malams, one side with all the food, the other side with all the clothings and home decorations. Very well organised... I can say these 2 places are much more fun than Chinese's Chinatown during Chinese New Year. Cos Chinatown had too little space to walk and things to see are quite limited too.. But it's still a heartwarming moment, cos it's a moment that we get to come out and buy things together as a big big big family to welcome the New year.


Just 4 more months to go, it will be Chinese's Chinese New Year.. hahaha.. I can go out with my kids and family next year. Yeah.. I was confined this year due to confinement.. So sad. hehe.. I'm already starting to countdown for 2009 New Year. haha..

Pomelo Brothers

Remembered when we're small, whenever there's pomelo at home during festive seasons, my dad would peel off the skin nicely and let us play like a helmet.. hehe.. & we little ones would snatch over it..

After the recent Mooncake festival had passed, I peeled off the pomelo my dad gave me. hehe.. Kieron was happily playing with the traditional type of helmet, but Kayden just couldn't wait to get rid of the pomelo skin from his head. hehe...





Kayden liked to open the sliding door and dug out all his brother's discs, and you could hear Kieron shouting "Didi!". hehe..

The brothers playing together again...

Kieron and his fav sport - Soccer

Kieron was so excited when I allowed him to bring his Adidas soccerball to play while waiting for his father to get back from work in the evening.. He was happily chasing after the ball, and makin poses when I wanted him to take some shots. & poor Kayden, he wanted join in the fun too, but all he could do was kicking and watching pitifully at his brother.. hehe.. Soon.. He can play with soccer with his elder brother and father..


Cheeky Kieron trying to scare me with his pillow headsuit while I was preparing his goodnite milk. hehe.. He fell asleep on the sofa after his milk. I almost collapsed on the bed after I carried him back to bed. He grown so much.. haha..

Kayden had his 2nd hair shave

Brought Kayden to have his hair shave for the 2nd time after his birth.. His hair been growing tooo slow. So had all shaved off again to let it grow even better.. Going to try out the easiest and cheapest method of letting baby's hair grow faster and nicer. It's recommended by doctors --- Breastmilk... hehe..
