Ethyl had a high fever yesterday afternoon. Temperature shot up to 38.9 degrees C.
I was really edgy and because the noon sun was scorching, we decided to bring her to the clinic just a few steps away. I really made a wrong choice!!! We went in and out of the clinic in mere 2 minutes [...]

Questioning Me?
Posted in Ethylyn on February 27, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Ethyl started asking questions many months back, but those were all simple questions like..what, why, where and how.
These days, she’ll ask more structured questions.
“Daddy, what happen? How come your face red red? What happened?
“Oh, that’s a pimple, Daddy ate too many oily stuff and bak kwa during CNY, that’s why got pimples. You cannot eat [...]
Lion Dance & Chill Out

Another annual event, Lion Dance at Aunt’s stall. Ethyl met up with his young uncles (my cousins) once again and had lotsa fun mingling with the boys.
Ethyl loves to play with Uncle Jiaming! And of course, this boy is gentle and looks after her as well.
This little boy is Joel. Remember him? He’s now a [...]

This is really fun! This year, Ethyl is old enough to join us in our annual Lou Hei on the seventh day of the lunar month commonly known as 人日, everybody’s birthday.
We had steamboat for dinner, and after the yummy dinner, we had our lead of the day presented…YU SHENG!!!!
Mom used abalone instead of salmon. [...]
His Change
Posted in Hubby, Mommy's words on February 24, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Yesterday we went to Hubby’s aunt house for a CNY gathering and Ethyl was so excited to see a pair of 4mo twins.
Upon seeing how excited his girl is over the babies, Hubby asked a question that he seldom asked and had always tried to avoid.
“Ethyl, you like babies? Ask Mommy to give you a [...]
Missy’s Excuses
Posted in Ethylyn on February 23, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I am surprised by EThyl’s ability to find excuses for not wanting to do/go something/somewhere.
She missed her school for the whole of last week because of her diarrhea, missed school on Wednesday and was back to school yesterday. There were struggles and pleadings, but something different took place at the same time.
Mom recounted what happened [...]
Itsy Bitsy

What Pauline (Cousin-in-law) said to me, kept playing back in my head.
“It’s time for a second kid…take every child as a blessing, gender is not a matter…”
I love kids, no doubts about this. If I can get a placement soon, most likely we’ll plan for a kid late this year. We have come [...]
Chinese New Year

I was spared of questions for the last 2 CNY. I was married, had Ethyl, and questions stopped flooding us. This year, Questions started raining on us again. The most famous was…”When are you going to have a second kid?”
Anyway, we all enjoyed ourselves during CNY. A time where we meet up with all relatives, [...]
V-day

I have a test on this V-day. It is definitely a kill-joy! It was Hubby’s off day, he sent me to class. We had our dinner together with my classmate.
Felt a little disappointed that he did nothing to surprise me. At the end of the day, I felt grateful and told myself, I should look [...]
