Her 2nd Photo Shoot at The Studio Loft

Today I took leave to spend sometime with her and also for a studio shoot. She was quite happy throughout the day. When I told her I am bringing her "to take photos", she asked me "how come we go take photo?" hahaha

Weather was very hot. Reached the studio after we went Waterloo Guanyin Temple. She was quite relunctant to smile initially. But after I found to the trick to make her laugh and smile (that's to say I want to tickle her), the photo session was a breeze...

Phew! She did recover...

Was really glad that she did officially recover on Sun when her fever was gone... Luckily I didn't start the antibiotics on her as actually there is no need for it at all. Too bad that most GP will prescribe this without checking if it was really needed. This led to overused of antibiotics in the world.

She is sick again... Sign...!!!!

Giselle has been running a fever since 17 Mar 08 after I picked her from school. I thought I was over-sensitve when I found that her body was abit warmer than usual. Who knows her fever came officially on the same nite at about 10pm. Her temp then was 38 degree C.

For the next 2 days, I took half day pm leave to take over from my mum who was mobilized to look after her while I was at work. Her running nose started on Tue morning. Then on thu, seeing that her fever has gone and she is active, I brought her to school as she is getting restless. Who noes the fever came back that very nite and I brought her to see a doc then. Keep making her to drink more water. Doc suggested me to standby a antibiotic at home in case she does not recover on the 5th or 6th day. He is afraid that she may get sinus infection in the end.

I tried my best not to give her any antibiotics except for paracetemol which helps to keep her temperature down. In my heart, I am just praying her she has got the normal flu and I should let it run its course over 5 days for the fever to go away and she starts recovering. It has been a difficult period for me as well as I have also gotten the flu from her and I still need to take care of her.

Though she has not been feeling well, we still brought her out for some shopping of furniture at Sungei Kadut yesterday. There's a International Furniture Centre and we managed to confirm our sofa, dining table a rug there.

Today is officially the 6th day, I am still keeping my fingers crossed that her fever does not come back and is on the road to recovering. If today fever still lingers, I may start the antibiotic on her.

To be continued....

My Little Girl turns 32months today....

What a BIG "Baby" she is now. As her speech is getting better, she is much more talkative then before....

She loves ASKING QUESTIONS now! She will goes "Daddy what are you eating?", "Mummy where are you going?", "Why like that???", "what is this?" etc... the questions go on and on....

Sometimes it is very funny to listen to the way she speaks. Today brought her to HDB HUB Toa Payoh to settle the 1st appt of the sales of our current flat. Then at the TP Central, there is some strong macho man contest where muscles strong men were in their swimming trunks showing their biceps.

Then she went home and kept saying that she saw those uncles, never wear T-shirts, wear "panties" only, shame! shame!

Hahaha, she's really very funny at times :)

Adventure at Sim Siang Choon Shop

Went Sim Siang Choon to select bathroom things today… Wow, realized it’s a heaven place for kids… Giselle was happily turning on every taps, pretended to wash with soap at every basin… Then closing and opening toilet bowl covers… later she met another 3.5 year old girl and both of them were happily talking and playing with each other with the taps again….

Then suddenly she told me she wanted to pass urine… She held my hand and brought me to the section of toilet bowls and happily chose 1 with snoopy pictures – she said ‘’I want this’’….

Hahahaha, really bth her

Her New Patterns again....

Ms Angela said Giselle is giving different patterns again. She will fuss for a long time when she doesn't get her own way and refuse to take instructions. At the same time, she loves to follow Vera in her class now... Really don't know what is wrong with her recently... Maybe is another stage of her growing up process. Nevertheless, I do notice that she is more daring now when outside in front of strangers and other children.

See the Big Bump?

She felt down twice on her Daddy's birthday yesterday and her Daddy was so heartpain. I was out in the living hall talking to my mum on the phone when I heard a big loud bang from my room. When I ran in , she was on the floor and she cried very long for this.

I quickly went to grab some icecubes, wrapped with cloth and applied in on her forehead. No swell after that but blue black. I asked her if she jumped down from the bed and she said no. Sign!

Giselle went for another play today with Ms Angela and her friends. The above picture was taken while she was on the bus to the theatre. Her teacher said she was very happy and excited, all set ready to go :)

Heard from Ms Angela that she was quite okay in the room but was abit afraid when the cat's face makeup was a little too strong.

When the casts were talking family heritage like ''father'' and "mother", she started to cry and Amanda and Vivian were affected by her. However, we were proud of her when she offered to do a ''high-5" with the casts when they walkabout :)

This play had more impact on her as she was able to describe lots of things to me... She could tell me that she saw goose, hen, jie-jie and uncle ''made bread'' etc...

The first LIE of her Life... I was so SHOCKED!!!!

It started when she was demanding to play with her strawberry shortcake umbrella which I refused to give in to her until she finished her drink.

She was very unhappy and when she saw her Daddy, she went to him and said the following:
Giselle: Daddy...! You see Mummy!!!! (point her finger at me when I was standing afar)
Daddy: Why???
Giselle: Mummy beat me!
Daddy: Where did mummy beat you? (her daddy knew she was lying)
Giselle: Here! (pointing to a red spot on her wrist)
Daddy: Are you sure Mummy beat you? (Giselle looked downwards)

I was so shocked and angry that I pulled her to me and asked her again if I beat her. She looked guilty, downwards and shook her head and said ''No''. I told her a young kid like her cannot tell lies.....

It just searched asking myself how can a 2.5year old kid tell lies...where on earth did she learn how to tell lies... I am sure her classmates have not started such things.... I told her Ms Angela about this and asked her to observe her further.

Heard from Ms Angela that she was able to hold her urine throughout the whole trip (1.5h to 2 hr) and good job done on her part. Overall she enjoyed the trip and the show although a little fidgety.

I tried to ask her about the show but she couldn't tell me much except for some giants figures that she saw during the show...

Keith 2nd Birthday Party!!!:)

It's Keith 2nd birthday today and Emily has invited all of us to her house to celebrate with them. Time flies so fast and Keith was a baby like just yesterday! Happy Birthday Keith!


I brought Giselle to attend this party and glad that she did enjoy herself there, helping herself with the toys. During the cake cutting ceremony, Keith was happily putting the candles himself and blowing the candles as well... what a smart boy! :)


Giselle was so tired after the party that she slept in Regina's car on the way back. Regina's daughter, Bernice, was so cute and sweet. It's been a really long time since I met her and she has grown up alot too! :)

Giselle new Playground... :)

She loves this new playground below my new block and will always demand to play there whenever we pass by the playground. Weather was very nice today and we decide to let her play for awhile.

Today she was so happy in the new house that she kept singing and doing frog jump all over the house... really very funny... hahaha

Btw, my reno can formally said that it HAS STARTED today. Electrical works was the 1st step:)
