It's funny how we get to meet new people.
Having children has certainly opened the doors to new acquaintances; I suppose it gives people something in common.
For example.
I was minding my own business on the 14th floor of my apartment block, where there is a sky terrace, reading the papers and just enjoying my lunch hour.
Along comes a mother-son team, the boy is squealing and running around, and the mother looks apologetically at me. I smile at her, and viola! We make eye contact. After a little small chatter we find out a little about each other, that we both have things in common like husbands who lived in Australia ( she Sydney and me Melbourne ). Her only son is younger than Madison.
So then we part ways after exchanging mobile numbers. That very same afternoon my friend Caroline texts me about a playdate on Sunday to Bottletree park in Yishun. I immediately think of inviting this new friend along. She agrees and hey presto! We have an outing scheduled this weekend! "longkang"fishing and dinner !
We just have to see how this inaugural trip turns out.
Another instance: We keep meeting this other neighbour who turns out to have 2 boys: 2 year old and a 3 month old. The older kid goes to Eton house preschool, which is 1 street away from Madison's school. The dad turns out to be a (must be well to do) SAHD ( stay at home dad). Pretty unusual, and pretty cool! Their house is a perpetual open house, and I went over once with the kids to visit. I invited them to Madison's 3rd but they didn't come. I think they must have felt a little shy about coming over since there were quite alot of other people there.
In other news... I'm quite excited... a good friend is due to deliver ANYTIME! I can't wait to welcome her to the world of multiple kids! ( ie, more than 1 kid ). Wishing her all the best this weekend.

Grumble, grumble..
Ok. I have to be honest. I am still mad with the BIL.
It really sucks that he is such a d+ck and my parents put up with his selfishness and inconsideration.
He parks the car in the driveway, blocking up 2 perfectly good carpark lots. Then the rest of us have to park on the street, risking traffic fines ( which I did get in January..argh..that is still not sorted out yet!)It's obvious but my parents live with it.
He takes the newspapers from my parents' home, and doesn't return it. My mum gets mad with the maid because the papers can't be found. Cheapskate. Newspapers cost all of 90c. My parents know but don't say anything to him.
He has no respect for anyone but himself and thinks his opinions are the only one that count. And of course he has no basis for that, seeing that he does not read much or have a really good background grasp of most things. I don't even think he is really respected professionally. ( that's SAD )
And now... I think what p*sses me off is that he does not make an effort to think through the issue before simply brushing off my management plan. Does he really think I would choose to poison his wife? My sister? With opthalmic drops? And the risk /benefit ratio: not to treat a contact lens related infection? Does he have an alternative? No! The first thing he could think of was just that it was a BAD choice of treatment. UNBELIEVABLE. It's INSULTING. Does he think I am unable to look these things up ? Did he consider the complications of her condition? Did he ensure she had a more thorough clinical examination before treatment? Or even offer to take her to another doctor? NO NO NO. WHAT AN IDIOT. POINT MADE.
I am still p*ssed. I don't let other people push me around but I have to let this go BECAUSE he is RELATED? What a curse.
Maybe it's a lesson in patience? Training in the ways of wisdom? Business training? Please, someone show me the light! Please give me the STRENGTH to survive another few decades of having to associate with him. SUCH A JUVENILE. Why am I still p*ssed?

Birthday parties!!
In my opinion we had a great weekend.
Madison's party went off without a hitch on Saturday. Everything went almost according to plan. The weather was fantastic too... that's how lucky we were. It was excruciatingly hot most of the week, then Friday it rained almost the entire day. Saturday started off a little sunny, then the clouds came and it stayed quite nice the rest of the day.
I was really lucky to have help from my cousin Kay Shin, who stayed over Friday night at my mom's just to help us get the food ready. By Saturday, we had most of the stuff prepared and spent the morning decorating the room, putting the final touches to the cupcakes and getting the finger foods ready.
Kids started arriving a little past 11, and then suddenly everyone was here. My plan was to start off with colouring dinosaur pictures first, but it ended up with FOOD FIRST. So, ok... but I have a suspicion that the kids ate before they came... none of them had a great appetite. Or maybe it's just kids?
After they had something to eat, we started off with PASS THE PARCEL (or POISON PARCEL in local terms!!?) It was soo funny... I was joking with Angela ( one of the mums present and a friend) that the parents would be the ones passing it and the prize should have been more along the lines of "2 night stay at Capella Singapore with spa/golf " ! Then everyone would be snatching at it! In the end the kids did need help with passing the parcel and ripping the wrapping off. Was a good thing that Chris thought of putting a packet of dino candy in between layers so the kids were thrilled when they found it.
The next game was a dino egg hunt which went down really well. Of course then it meant they were all busy eating chocolate eggs to pay attention to the last game!! So funny.
We ended off with pin-the- tail on the T-rex. I had to go give Annika a nap then so I missed the action.
The cake was pretty cool too.. we ordered a 2kg choc banana cake without any decorations, then made a dark chocolate toblerone frosting and decorated with plastic dinos. Chris also painstakingly made a chocolate volcano with a foil mould. Quite impressive. It was topped off with 3 dino candles that I got at the BIY store. ( that I bought because I couldn't find the rack to return it too!!! also the girl that found it for me was nice...)
After cake cutting.. it was FREE AND EASY. IE I could sit back, eat, and relax. The kids decided they wanted to go into the pool THEN... so off they went. No one wanted to go at the start! So I got my pool party after all!
So... I'm stoked that everything went so well... it was worth all the painstaking preparation and thinking that went into it!

BIL woes AGAIN...GROAN...
Ok.... this is my blog so I am entitled to b1tch about this and then FORGIVE AND FORGET. RIGHT?
Things have been somewhat calmer the past few weeks on the BIL front... I just ignore his pig face and live AROUND him.. somehow..
TODAY... UNBELIEVABLE.
I get home AFTER work. Find out that my sister has had a red eye from an infection after using contact lenses for the past 2 days. She sees a doctor who gives her SALINE eyedrops! Just because she is preggers so he doesn't treat her eye infection! And didn't even perform a proper eye examination or refer her on?
So I offered to check her eye out and treat it. She agrees. We drive over in horrendous traffic to the clinic, I get it checked and look up our medical MIMS before deciding on the best topical antibiotic that I have before giving it to her.
Then what happens? We get home, Mr PIGFACE (TMI?) looks up his IPHONE and declares "oh!! don't use the medicine! " Doesn't offer an alternative ( because OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NONE BETTER! IDIOT!)
IT's a pregnancy CAT B drug you FOOL! THERE will NEVER be a CAT A drug in pregnancy BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY NO ONE will be allowed to do randomized controlled trials on PREGNANT women... such an IDIOT. I tried explaining it to him but he was completely INCAPABLE of understanding such simple logic. His BRAIN would not allow access past his ears for information processing.
So... CORNEAL ulcer v using a CAT B drug? GO figure. PITA.
He chooses then to demonstrate his CHILDISHNESS by slamming his cutlery down at dinner and stalking off loudly to the sink where he continued to slam his plate down. RUDE A$$. Absolutely NO RESPECT for the other members of the family at the dinner table. And says " I will not speak to non humans!Shut up!" WTH??? NON HUMAN? IS that the best he could come up with? COME ON MUNHON. Such poor vocabulary and command of the spoken language. tsk tsk tsk.... poor thing...
Anyway... I chose to remain CALM and at the dinner table, where the rest of the civilized people finished our meal and didn't let the barbarian wreck it for us.
Ok. Rant over.

Madison's 3rd, Annika crawling backwards!
My baby is turning 3 this Saturday! It's cliched but I cannot remember her as a little baby already.
We had a party at Novena for her first with balloons and a photographer, her 2nd was in Melbourne so this one will be a smaller event with MORE kids at our new place. I guess it'll be a housewarming as well.
It's going to be DINOSAUR themed, since she is crazy about them at the moment. I trawled the internet for ideas and so she's getting a cake with dinos on them, there's to be a dino egg hunt, pin the dino tail and poison parcel. Not to forget dino goody bags. I'm a little stuck about cupcakes at the moment... not exactly the most artistic person around... I found a cool baking shop nearby called BIY ( Bake it yourself!) and got some things to make chocolate shapes but didn't realize they were meant to fit muffin sized cupcakes! Not my teeny tiny cupcakes... argh.
Since she's going to school now, I figured instead of inviting her classmates ( and their parents whom we don't know!) over, I would bring the cake to class. So she gets 2 cakes this year. This is the first time I'm going to be doing this. Have to remember to bring the camera too.
I really have to thank the supportive people that surround me. Dorothy who works at my clinic offered her fabulous curry chicken and another friend volunteered to be the balloon folding guy at the party! Am really grateful.
In other news, I took Madison to an art school started by a contact. It's CANVASS, at Binjai park and it's pretty cool. We were slightly late since I had to rush from work so the other kids had started, but Madison fitted right in. They get to work with lots of materials, and she started off with paints. Later on she got to pick the other bits like sparkles and beads to stick onto her painting. We're probably going to try and stick with this for awhile to see. She enjoyed herself and wanted to go back again.
Annika, poor girl... she's a little in her sister's shadow at the moment. The good thing about it is that she is definitely a stronger character... she has the quickest fingers when it comes to grabbing Madison's things, whether it's food or toys. And yes, they have started squabbling... if Madison snatches something away from her she actually complains quite loudly! She is vocalizing a whole lot now, and is at the stage where she needs to be occupied or accompanied. But it's great that the 2 of them are good companions for each other.
Annika is now mobile. Yes.. she can kind of crawl. Backwards and in various directions. It's amazing how far she can get scooting around backwards! Of course she's always getting under the table, under the sofa and under the bed. I finally bought her a Sophie that everyone's been raving about... and nearly lost it after 24 hours. Of course she seems to prefer cereal containers, empty Berocca containers, spoons and remote controls. No more toys!
So... life is pretty full on at the moment... the clinic has it's days too.. some are sooo slow I think we're not going to survive; and other days people keep walking in... I don't know what to think! It would be nice if it could eventually become consistently BUSY! My life would be COMPLETE!

Home leave
Warni's 2 week home leave.
Since Warni decided that she would like to keep working with us, we discussed and decided that her home leave should coincide with the CNY break so that it would minimize the time off we would need to take to care for the kids.
She left us on the 3rd of Febuary and was scheduled to return on the 17th. We left for KL on the 2nd and came back early on the 5th. So that left 12 days that we would have to survive on our own without any help.
We did alright by any measure... Chris took his 2 weeks leave and I told the clinic to avoid scheduling appointments during this time. It was fortunate too that being CNY the clinic was quiet anyway.
In the end, I really salute SAHM who have the utmost patience to do this EVERYDAY! Endless cleaning, tidying and getting kids ready for something or other. And listening to whining, crying and demanding... I don't think I have the mettle to do this EVERYDAY. On the flip side, we did get to spend ALOT of time with the kids just doing everyday things, and the kids coped alright too. We did, however, spend a huge amount of time AT HOME. When the kids were napping we had to stay home and babysit so many lunches were had AT HOME. It was nice that Madison had school everyday so that gave us some respite in the mornings.
Warni came back yesterday evening and so Madison and I went to pick her up from the airport. That was a little tricky logistically as Chris had to go back to work, there was evening traffic to negotiate and Annika's evening nap to sort out ALL AT THE SAME TIME! And Madison's dinner AS WELL.
In the end, I left Annika with Maria after a quick nursing session ( she wasn't hungry THEN), and packed a sandwich for Madison's dinner ( which she ate enroute to the airport). Warni's flight was slightly delayed getting in to start with, then we hit peak hour traffic on the way back. We left the house at 5 PM and only reached home at 7 PM.
Madison had no trouble recognising Warni and accepting her again, but Annika screamed her head off when Warni picked her up! It was quite funny really, but thank goodness all was good again this morning.
The apartment also looks neater already after Warni went through it this morning! I am so glad that she is back, but also realize that she has a family back home that must miss her terribly while she is here. I am grateful for her help while we have young children. I think the kids are happy to see her back too!

CNY 2011
This year we spent Chinese New Year in Kuala Lumpur with the relatives. It was decided last year that we would do each side in turns. Last year was spent in Kota Bahru with the in laws, so this year we would see my side of the family.
Not a bad trip in all. The flight up to KL was so short and quick, it was over before we even knew what hit us! Madison was great this time round, take off and landing she either chewed on ice cubes or had her malteasers. Annika was a little more challenging. She was so distracted and took a while to nurse on taking off. Thank goodness she fell asleep both times and woke up when we landed.
When we got to KL we caught the VIP limousines service. Basically you catch the train from the airport to the city, then a cab takes you directly to your hotel. There is a portering service for the luggage so all we had to do was to look after the kids and get ourselves onto the train. It took us just over an hour to get to to the Ascott near the KLCC.
We got the same 3 room apartment at the Ascott that we had when we stayed there together the last time 2 years ago. Really nice large sitting area, a small kitchen and 3 decent sized bedrooms. Ensuites in every room too. Perfect since there were 3 sets of families staying together.
It was nice for the kids to meet with their cousins, and the same for us too. Of course we aren't very close anymore, since everyone is busy with their lives and we are physically apart. The first night was the reunion dinner night and we had that at a Chinese restaurant close to my aunt's house. Both girls did very well, considering that dinner finished late and it was really quite noisy and chaotic at the restaurant.
The rest of the time we were either at KLCC shopping/eating or chilling out at the apartment or my aunt's place. We did spend an afternoon visiting Jeremy at home. And is it a palatial home! Swimming pool, countless living and dining areas, bedrooms half the size of our apartment and his brother's private 3 room apartment on the top floor!
The flight home was super early on Saturday morning. We had to get up at 5 am to reach the airport by 8 and fly off at 9. Of course the trade-off was that we got home early and could still get stuff done back home. Of course, for Chris and I, it was the continuation of our 2 week helper's home leave.... and the start of the laundry run...argh....
