I think Lil Shauna is trying to torture me. -________-" Every night, other than having to sing songs and jump around with her in the room/ on the bed, she will refuse to sleep despite coaxing. Fussing, turning, tossing, climbing up and down the bed, watch U tube, see her pix on my HP, until finally, she decided that it is that moment and can take less than 5 mins to drift to dreamland. Haiz.. And her poor parents are so comfortably settled in bed that they wish the princess would sleep soon so that they can have their turns. It is difficult almost every night.
Lil Shauna usually wakes up at about 7ish and would take her afternoon nap after class and lunch at about 1pm. My mum would attempt to wake her up at 3pm, if she is still sleeping. Her bedtime used to be 9.30pm. Recently, it has been shifted to 10 or even 10.30pm. We would bring the baby into the room at 9pm to create bedtime mood. Jaclyn probably has a better life than us when it comes to bedtime. I think she sometimes go to bed earlier than us bcos Lil Shauna is still insisting "no, no, no" to "orh, orh" time when we are already dead tired. Haha. By the time Lil Shauna sleeps, we dun really have much time left. Attempts to blog or do anything else will bring us close to midnight and kill us the next day. Haiz.
Last night, it was just as bad. We brought in her nap time Mickey Mouse mattress. The bed is getting a little tight with the growing baby, so one of us can sleep on the mattress. It is a short term solution. We are targeting to let Lil Shauna learn to sleep in her own room soon, with the maid. We are gg to share our agony with J soon. Hohoho.
After much You Tube, Lil Shauna wanted mummy to sing to her and would decide at one moment to sleep on Mickey Mouse mattress and the next, to sleep on the bed. So, there she is climbing up and down the bed. Well, that is actually quite fine by me if it tired her out. But she insists that Mummy has to come sleep together with her whenever she wants to sleep. Pappy cannot, it must be Mummy. -.o" She fusses and kicks and tug at my shirt if I pretend to sleep and ignore her. -.o" So, there I am, climbing up and down the bed with Lil Shauna as she changes her mind, while Pappy lies lazily on the bed, watching from afar. Not fair.
I was so glad when Lil Shauna decides that it is finally bedtime and fell asleep within 5 mins while I lie beside her on the Mickey Mouse mattress, singing "Rock a Bye Baby". Hohoho. Lil Shauna will now demand the bedtime songs that I sing and she can make me repeat the songs over and over and over again like a broken recorder or change song midway as if I have jumped track.
Wat can I say? I can only give thanks that Lil Shauna still prefers Mummy to Pappy and J. Hohoho. She must love me alot. ;p

Busy Sunday
We were supposed to go to the zoo on Saturday with nainai but it had to rain bug time. -.o"
We have agreed to loan the zoo corporate pass to my bro's family on Sunday. But I really wanted to bring Lil Shauna to the zoo and asked to tag along. We ended up paying for 2 pax entry and we went to the zoo (finally).
Lil Shauna has to start off her trip by riding the cow.
Then, we spent some time in the kidszone, where there is this really big water playground. Lil Shauna had good time getting wet. I would enjoy a cool dip too. We came prepared and brought her swimming costume.
After the water play, it was more walking around and a caught a show. Daddy Lim came and pick us at 2pm. By then, we were sticky and sweaty and smelly. I was so grateful for aircon. The weather was that bad.
We left the zoo for Mummy S' place. We were to meet with the girls. Yes, we went smelling dirty and looking dirty. I was abit paiseh but there was no time to go home to freshen up. Never mind lah, the girls have seen me in worse state. Hohoho.
Mummy S has generously brought out all of G's toys for the kids. G has so many toys and Lil Shauna was kept entertained for a long while. This made mummy Lim very happy cos she can chit chat with the aunties without having to look after the baby. Moreover, there is J. I really appreciate having a maid during such times. ;p So Mummy Lim was busy eating, talkimg, drinking and talking. Then eating and dtinking again. Super fattening gathering.
We ended the day with a dinner in Somerset. Yes, Mummy Lim went to Somerset still looking and smelling dirty. Lil Shauna got a chance to shower and change into new clothes at Mummy S' place. Yes, stinky mummy. -.o"
Lil Shauna went crazy at 313. There was lots of space for her to run around and she did just that. Run and hop and jump. She seems to enjoy herself very much.
It was a nice Sunday, but very pack. I think I cannot survive too many Sundays like that. Old liao. Hohoho.

The weather was freaking hot. We were all perspiring like mad. The kids had it best, they were either sitting in the stroller or this trolley thing that we rented. Otherwise, the adults will be carrying them and pointing the animals to them. Coupled with the hot weather, it was basically an endurance training program in disguise for the adults.
We didnt take many pix, it was too tiring to juggle the baby, entertain her, enjoy the animals and take pix. After trying a few times, I gave up. Afterall, wat is so nice about the animals leh? This is probably the only pix I have taken of the animals. Can you even tell wat are the animals doing? Hohoho, I guessed I have made the right decision to heck the animals. ;p

Lessons in Life
We were walking back from breakfast on Sunday morning. Daddy Lim has left for work and I had wanted to take a stroll back as there was so much time.
Then, we spotted these which got Lil Shauna really excited.
Then, we spotted these which got Lil Shauna really excited.
Yes, mushrooms! They were spouting everywhere in what seems like freshly fertilised field.
Lil Shauna got to touch them, step on some and yes, she did kill quite a few in the process. Oops.
It is amazing how such small things in life can be so exciting and entertaining.

Church
Like I promised myself, we will go back to church when I get a helper and Daddy Lim comes back from night shift. Both had been fulfilled and it is time for me to do something about my promise. So, I had tot of gg back to Faith Methodist Church yday. I was there before I gave birth. I like the service and the fact that it is not too far (right next to Commonwealth MRT). Daddy Lim might have to work on most Sundays and I have to bring the baby to church via MRT. Convenience is important.
I panicked on Sat. I haven been to church for the longest time and definitely not with a baby. I started wodering if the service is still at 11am, if Lil Shauna is old enuff to go to Sunday school, where is the Sunday school, where do mummies with young children sits where to go if Lil Shauna decided to fuss during service, where to put the stroller, if there is a baby room, a toilet with nappy changing facilities...... The list does on and I was fearful. And I decided to call for help and asked if D and J noes of anyone attending Faith. It would be good to get help to get started.
Both of them were nice to ask if I was interested to attended another x church but I prefer Faith for the location. J has a friend's sister who is in Faith and I requested to be linked up. Hmm.. I hope God helps and gets us back to church. It had been such a looooonnngggg time.

Mummy Dun Go
For some strange reasons, Lil Shauna has been waking up at the time that we leave the house for the past few days. Daddy Lim says that we must have been too noisy and she started stirring while we are getting ready for work. We have to move her from the bed to the sofa when we are leaving her house and that will probably is the ultimate thing that woke her up.
This morning, the same thing happens. Usually, she will wake up and look around and start drinking her milk. Yday, we must have too much fun. We went to the zoo and then to a gathering. She played non-stop. She woke up and was cranky. She was drinking her milk while we tried to sneak away and just when we opened the door, she started crying, probably with the teat still in her milk and yelling for "mummy". Sob, I feel so bad to have to leave her and go to work. Daddy Lim says I should apply for emergency leave. -.o" During this kind of time, it makes me feel that I should be a SAHM. Why, bcos I have a maid now and staying at home doesnt seem so bad. Hoho.
Oh, to make things worse, no school today and for the next 2 days! Lil Shauna has been skipping school since last Tues. There are HFMD cases in her playground and I stopped her from school even when it resumed. There were 3 cases by last, last Fri and 4 by last Mon. Last night, the teacher sms me to say that there are 6 cases and they have to close for 3 days in line with MOM guidelines. -_____________-" I hope Lil Shauna does not reject school after this long break.
Mummy Lim
P.S - J didnt do much to piss me off over the weekend. Hohoho.

So Far So Good
Well, I dun really have a lot of contact with J on weekdays. So I can only tell if she has really "heard" us when the weekend comes. We have a busy weekend ahead. We are gg to the Zoo on Saturday and gathering on Sunday! I will update again if J irritates me so much that I go ask for CVs again. ;p Moreoever, J was down with flu these few days and had been resting early. I rushed her off to bed at 9+pm. Lil Shauna didnt even sleep until 10.30pm. See how nice we are to her. Haiz..
Lil Shauna didnt go to school since Wednesday. I tot it is better to keep her away until the HFMD virus really fly away. We will bring her back next Monday. So on Wednesday, after ah yee woke up, J was allowed to bring Lil Shauna to the corridor for an hour. I think the neighbours' grandchildren were out too. I let her do so without ah yee's supervision yday and today, each for an hour. She automatically came back after an hour. I am glad. And I reminded her this morning and each time I called to give permission that she can only bring Lil Shauna to the corridor and not downstairs and she is not allowed to do so without permission. Oh gosh, I feel so naggy.
So, let's see how it goes.

We Almost Sent Jaclyn Away
We almost sent Jaclyn back to the agency yday. Recently, I had been snapping at her frequently. That is bcos she kept disobeying my instructions on even simple things like "bring a pack of tissue with her when we are gg out", "inform us before gg for her shower", etc. And I get super pissed that she does not do these things and my blood boiled when she said that she forgot. -.-" Whenever I told her to do something, she will go "yes, mdm" and when I asked her if she understands me, she will reply "yes". So I seriously couldnt figure out wat went wrong.
Yday, J brought Lil Shauna to school as usual. My SIL had some errands to run and my mum sent Fione to school instead. As a result, she had the chance to go to the Playgroup earlier to look at Lil Shauna. To her horror, she found the school closed upon arrival. Apparently, 3 kids were down with HFMD and school was stopped for cleaning. The teacher said that J turned up with the baby and were told to go home. Mum went home but found the house empty. -____-" J went missing with the baby.
Mum called me and I panicked. I almost wanted to run home to help serach for the baby. J eventually turned up with the baby at home at almost 11am. She said that Lil Shauna wanted to play at the playground and they were playing for the past hour. I couldnt tell if she was telling the truth. I blew and blasted at her. She knew that she cannot bring Lil Shauna downstairs without permission and company and I have seriously warned her the last time she did so.
I told my mum that I was gg to transfer her. I called up the agency and got new CVs. The intention was to return her immediately and get a new maid. We tot of Indo maid who are more tame, easier to control but there will be language barrier. However, the new maid will take 2 to 3 weeks to come and we finally decided to keep J and choose the new maid 1st and returned J when the new maid comes.
My Sis and I went down to the agency last evening and we plow thru the CVs, phone interviewed the Indo maids and found that they really cannot speak English. We will have problem communicating and instructing her. How then to leave the baby in her care? We tot of fresh PHL maid and interviewed one. The scene brings back memory of our 1st time selection. There is no way we can find out if the person whom we talked to will be better than J. I have no peace and we decided to take the CV back and think about it. I wonder if God was telling me to give J another chance. The agency will reserve the maid until 12noon today. Apparently, good maids (subjective) are seeling like hot cakes.
When I was home, my mum pleaded for J for a last chance. She found J good in housework, which we all dun deny. Most importantly, Lil Shauna likes her. If we get a new maid, other than the fact that we cannot gaurantee that the new maid will be good, there will need to be re-training and adjustment. Daddy Lim thinks that we should give a final chance too.
So, we had a long talk with J last night after tucking Lil Shauna to bed. We tried to understand why she was not obeying our instructions and she still maintain that she forgot. We told her our expectations and explain the reason before our instructions. We know that she's bored at home, facing the baby 24/7, but she has to gain my trust before she has more freedom with the baby and she has already broke that trust many times.
We reminded her that I have reached the limit of my patience and this is really the last chance. I am gg to monitor her for a little while more. If she is still not improving, then I guessed I will have to continue to source for CVs and pray for a suitable maid to appear.

Genting Day 3
The routine was the same - Lil Shauna woke us up, they went for buffer breakfast while we had some time together. I wasnted sandwich and dragged Daddy Lim to eat at this small cafe. But the ham and cheese sandwich has turned bad and I was given a cheese and butter sandwich in exchange and I hate cheese and butter. -.o" Daddy Lim had fried rice that wasnt very well cook. At one point, he spit out this whole lump of salt and staretd complaining non-stop. We left for a noodles place and completed our breakfast with fat, hot shui jiao.
We bought tickets for the indoor park but we didnt fully utilise the ticket. Popo was worse. I bought her the tickets but she spent most of her time cooping in the casino. Chey! After the rides we had lunch and it was time to check out. Clever Popo had foresight and used her points to get us a smaller room for free. The room was much dirtier and much, much smaller than the 1st room we had but beggers are no chosers. Lil Shauna had her nap (so did we) and it was already 4pm by the time she woke up, jumping around like an energised rabbit.
Then it was more rides, a light dinner and time to go home. We were lugging nags and stuff. Lil Shauna did help too. She was happily lugging a toy that we won at the arcade and her favourite Barney radio. -.o"

The only pathetic few family photos that we took. Sad..

Genting Day 2
Lil Shauna woke us up bright and early as usual. Popo brought Jaclyn and Lil Shauna for buffet breakfast while Daddy Lim & I enjoyed a quiet breakfast without the baby. The food was quite delicious. :)
My bro's family arrive with SF's family in the late morning. They took about 4+ hours and he was telling me that the drive was quite a breeze. The kids were well-behaved and the traffic was smooth. We actually took a longer time to travel as compared to them. We left the house at 4.30am and only reach Genting at about 10am (about 5+ hrs). The difference is that we have lots of breaks in between and lots of space for the baby to run about. My bro was encouraging us to drive up the next time but I still dread the idea of having to entertain the baby in the confined space for 4+ hrs. -.o"
We were very much on our own as I found it awkward to face SF and it is understandable that my SIL wanted to spend time with SF. Then I got pretty pissed at my mum at one point. She seems to "float" over and latch on to my bro the moment his family arrives. Yes, I am jealous. I hate it when she shows favoritism and I felt as it I was taken advantage of. Well, she did try to maintain neutral but favoritism is in her blood all her life, just like jealousy in mine. The moment I sense her favouring, the green-eye monster will appear and devour all logic. Haiz, so many years liao and still like that. Lousy me.
We had our one and only dinner "together". We sat in the same restaurant but at separate tables. Somehow, this distance is good. After dinner, we went to the arcade to throw $$ away. Lil Shauna actually enjoyed herself at some arcade games while Daddy Lim and I had a great workout at the basketball and baseball station.
We also brought a scarf, a hairband and a wand for the princess and was so surprised that she likes the scarf so much. She is getting more vain. Hoho. By the way, Genting was not at all cold. Previously, we wrapped ourself in jackets. This time, we walked aroun in no jacket and didnt felt cold. In fact, I find the aircon at Changi airport colder.
The indoor park was opened until midnight and I had wanted to make good use of our tickes. We tried to bring Lil Shauna for more rides at 9pm but she started fussing after a few rides. She went "eh, eh, eh" at everything and just refuses to speak. I figured that she was tired and carried her in a lying down position. She was instamtly quiet and was enjoying the people and lights around her. Haha.
After Lil Shauna went to deamland, Daddy Lim and I went to the casino and try our luck at the jackpot machine. Actually, it is quite similar to the arcade machines. It is so difficult to win and we are like spending $$ for some fun. We left shortly, walked around a little before turning in. Not much photos were taken. Mostly Daddy Lim and Lil Shauna or Mummy with the princess. :)
Lil Shauna is learning how to smile at the camera. So cute hor.

We have got tickets for indoor theme park and we started the rides soon after the park started operations at 9am. Most of the rides are kids friendly and Lil Shauna got to ride on many of them. There werent that many rides in the indoor park but enuff to entertain the baby. The best part? She never got sick of any of them. We went on each rides for at least 3x and the princess enjoyed herself each time. This time round, she enjoyed the merry-go-round best. Just that she got a little over confident and refused to let us hold her while she's on the ride.

Genting Day 1
We are back and we are sad to be back. We had loads of fun in Genting and Lil Shauna seems to enjoy herself more this time as compared to the last. If it is not bcos the journey to Genting is so daunting, we will probably go there every month. Lol.
Lil Shauna was down with running nose and cough before we headed for Genting. It must be the must-fall-sick virus. Felicia was coughing too but I dun think they passed the virus to each other. They haven got much contact recently. All the more, it must be the must-fall-sick-before-holiday virus. She was coughing badly at times and leaking green mucus all the way in Genting. We just brought her to the doctor this morning and was told that her mucus is really thick and will take some time to dry up and the mucus is causing the cough. -.o" She is to stay off cold drinks, anything sour, BISCUITS and fried food. Sure fail.
SF's twins were down with gastric flu on Wednesday and passed on to the father. They almost called off the trip. Actually, I was quite glad to hear the news. I meant no harm. I just tot that it will be really awkward to see them in Genting. They did go eventually and we didnt speak at all, not even eye contact. It was sure awkward. I think we all made good effort to stay clear of each others' path. No meals together, no rides together, nothing. Hohoho.
So, our trip started at 4.30am. We had to drag an angry Lil Shauna out of the bed. Since it will cost us a bomb to take cab to and fro the airport, we chose to drive and incurred a whooping $60 carpark fees. It is the lesser of the 2 evil. Lil Shauna was cooperative on the trip. She was happily jumping around in the airport.
Lil Shauna was down with running nose and cough before we headed for Genting. It must be the must-fall-sick virus. Felicia was coughing too but I dun think they passed the virus to each other. They haven got much contact recently. All the more, it must be the must-fall-sick-before-holiday virus. She was coughing badly at times and leaking green mucus all the way in Genting. We just brought her to the doctor this morning and was told that her mucus is really thick and will take some time to dry up and the mucus is causing the cough. -.o" She is to stay off cold drinks, anything sour, BISCUITS and fried food. Sure fail.
SF's twins were down with gastric flu on Wednesday and passed on to the father. They almost called off the trip. Actually, I was quite glad to hear the news. I meant no harm. I just tot that it will be really awkward to see them in Genting. They did go eventually and we didnt speak at all, not even eye contact. It was sure awkward. I think we all made good effort to stay clear of each others' path. No meals together, no rides together, nothing. Hohoho.
So, our trip started at 4.30am. We had to drag an angry Lil Shauna out of the bed.

We had a simple breakfast and Lil Shauna didnt eat much. She just had a good time tearing the crust off the pie. But that too leaves us time for a quiet breakfast.
Lil Shauna fell asleep shortly before we board the plane but was awoken by her violent cough. Poor baby. She remain an angel for the remaining trip. The flight to KL was only 30 mins. :)
The van ride to Genting was ok too. It took about 1hr 30 mins and Lil Shauna wasnt keen on her favourite Barney VCD. But the van has loads of leg space and she got to move around a little. She wasnt too bad and we made it to Genting smoothly. We arrived at about 10am and Popo disappeared to the casino.
I got a free ticket to the outdoor theme park bcos it was my bday. :) As Lil Shauna hasnt been to the outdoor park, we brought her there. But it was freaking troublesome to get my free ticket. The counter people couldnt really speak English and I was referred to 3 different places (each time having to Q) before I finally get my free ticket. Sometimes, the waiting and queuing really gets on one's nerve. But you noe that there is no point complaining. Haiz.
Lil Shauna was so excited upon reaching Genting (and seeing the rides) that she wouldnt eat her lunch. -.o" Most of the rides in the outdoor park are for bigger kids/ adults but Lil Shauna got to take a few of the friendlier rides.

The antique car must be her favourite ride. She's into taking control recently and had been fighting over the steering wheel on kiddy rides. She was happily "driving" the car when it actually needed no steering. Hohoho.
Then it was dinner, a little run around in the room and finally time for bed. I had a hard time tucking the baby to bed. She must be too excited. After she drifted off to dreamland, I went to the casino to look for my mum (lazy Daddy Lim was into dreamland and refused to wake up). The casino was smoky and crowded, not much fun. After awhile, my mum looked very much comfortable on her own and I went back. It was only 11+pm and Genting was still very much alive. I asked the sleeping Daddy Lim if he wanted to go for a walk but was flatly rejected. Chey!
