Sleepless Nights

Nights has become so torturous recently. I dreaded going to bed once again. The last time i felt this way was when Rachelle was about 2-3 months old. Rachelle has all along been a bad sleeper but the past night on 20/2/12, it was one of the worst to date.
It didn't help that she has the cough bug at the same time. I hate her having a cough as she tends to throw up after coughing especially after her meals or milk feed. Since young, she has the tendency to throw up after a crying episode or after coughing. She got so whiny at night and cries so readily. Her crying and constant whining were driving me up the wall and i couldn't sleep at all as i was practically up by her side every hour tending to her every complaints. If i were to ignore her, she will cry even louder and as a result of that i will have to change her clothes or bedsheets as she is sure to vomit. Recently her eczema is also flaring up. She wakes up complaining of itchiness and was scratching all over. The skin on her neck, elbows and behind the knees were extremely dry and patchy. I am asking friends for recommendations to a good dermatologist for children.
I really pray hard that Rachelle will outgrow this whiny stage esp during the night so all of us in the family including herself can have a good night rest. Lack of sleep is definitely not good for all of us. She gets very emotional with lack of rest. Pray hard for me, my friends.

Happy Birthday!

"Once a year, there's a very special day. It's my Birthday! ", yup that's what i always hear on Disney Junior Channel and i am glad i am celebrating my birthday in October finally. In fact i already have 2 birthday celebrations and my birthday is tomorrow!
I have a birthday celebration at home with my immediate family members on 2nd Oct. Mummy and daddy ordered a mini buffet and i have a strawberry shortcake birthday theme this year. I have been looking forward to my birthday ever since mummy told me about my party. Thanks to my grandparents and shu shu for their ang paos. Thanks to Ah yis and gu gu for their presents. Yesterday i had another celebration in my school at YMCA. Daddy and mummy bought another strawberry shortcake themed cake and some goodies bags for my friends in school. I am elated when my friends sang me birthday songs. It is really nice to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. I really loves cakes and candles as they really make my day! Looking forward to more birthday celebrations in the years to come.
Thanks Daddy and mummy for spending so much time and money to celebrate my birthday this year!

My updates

Going to school has been a really fun event for me. I am looking forward to school everyday as i get to play with my friends and learn new songs from my teachers. I am also very cheerful and happy whenever mummy or grandma came to school to fetch me home. My mood is super duper good as i had a fun day in school.
Daddy and mummy came to school to pick me up, as usual i was in my happy mood. I had a quick bath at home before i go over to my maternal grandma place for dinner. It's been some time since i ate at grandma's place because she seldom cook now as she is staying alone. Most of the times, she will go over to our house or Da Yi's house for dinner instead. Sigh, i am having constipation again. It's been 4 days since i last moved my bowels. I kept trying to pass motion but failed. The pain was so intense that i cried while trying to poop. Daddy and mummy had to stay beside me to console me. I tried several times in the evening and finally on my 3-4 attempt, i managed to move my bowels and i laughed happily after that. What a relief! Phew! My stools were hard and bloody. Poor me! Mummy told me to eat more fruits and drink more water and i shouldn't have the same problem next time.

Hello Sister!

Mummy is expecting a little girl in Nov and i am going to be a big sister! I am happy and excited at times. I will run up to mummy to hug and kiss her tummy. Stroke mummy's swelling belly and call out to my little sister's name. At times, i will be jealous when mummy ask me not to jump or cross over her tummy and i will smack my mummy's tummy and put on an angry face.

Mummy is trying to make me feel comfortable and acceptable to my little sister's arrival. However i have been the apple of my parents' eyes for the past 3 years. It can get hard not to be receiving their 100% attention. I know they still love me deeply and i will always be their little precious. Well maybe time will tell and after all i can be a doting big sister.

I'm so into acting

Mummy is having a great time watching me as i reenact the scenes that happened to me during the day and the events. Everyday i will put on a show of a typical day in school. Most of the time, i will take up the role of teacher and "lecturing" the children which are my classmates. Sometimes i will also pretend to be mummy and create a scene where i bring my kid to childcare. Just last night, mummy recited the commercial lines for mama lemon washing detergent and i actually can reply the lines back to her. She was laughing so hard to see how serious i was in my reply. She asked whether i want to be a child actor so she can start grooming me in that area. I think she must be dreaming of being a star mommy so badly. Of course i don't want cos i will be scared. I am only at ease acting in front of mummy but not in front of strangers. Sharon and Charis yi yi has been informing mummy about kids modelling contests whenever they saw the advertisement. This time round, Mother and Baby magazine is looking for kids between 3-8 who possess the aura of a princess. However mummy is not too keen as the audition and photo shoot will start in oct and nov respectively. Mummy is due to deliver end of oct or early nov so the timing is not good at all. Well i don't think i am ready at this stage as well.

Hooray, it is the time for holidays again to Genting. This is my 2nd trip to Genting and i love the cool weather and theme parks best. Daddy is driving for this trip and we are all very excited.
Due to the recent jam at the immigration checkpoints because of the new biometric procedures, we decided to set off in the wee hours. I woke up at about 3.45am and we picked up uncle Darren n Nicole yi yi at 4.15am at their house in woodlands. We arranged to meet at the first petrol kiosk in JB with Da Yi Zhang and Uncle Marc. Altogether, 10 adults and 3 kids are travelling in 3 cars. The sky was still dark when we set off but i was all bright and bushy tailed. All ready to start my holidays. We made several stops to take a leak and have a bite during the long journey. It was tiring for daddy as the driver but fun for me as a passenger. Hehe... We reached Genting around 11am and we went to the kopitiam at First World for our lunch. Genting was very crowd as it was the June holidays. There were so many kids. After lunch, we checked into our hotel rooms and took a short nap. After our rest, we shopped a while at the mall and had dinner before heading back to our room to retire for the day.
The next morning was specially planned for the kids. We had breakfast at McDonald's and then it was to the indoor theme park and outdoor theme park. I enjoyed the rides very much and i was grinning from ear to ear. I was just so happy and excited. I had a quick nap during lunch at Old Town Cafe and by the time we reached our room for a short rest, i was awake and couldn't go back to sleep again. After 1-2 hours of rest, we hit the theme park again for our favourite rides.
The next morning, we quickly packed our luggage before heading out to Ah Yat Restaurant for Dim Sum. After our Dim sum lunch, we checked out and got ready to head back home.
It was a fast and short holiday but very fun and enjoyable for me. Check out the pics.
