Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

Kieran just had general anesthesia at KK children's hospital. He had a nasty 4cm cut near his left eyebrow after he tripped & knocked his head against a table.

My clothes was covered with so much blood as we tried to stop the bleeding. We rushed him to A&E and waited for 20 mins to see a doctor.

The wait seemed like eternity.

All I remember is my hands were trembling & I was trying very hard to stay calm when doctor said GA was necessary to stitch up his wound. After the anesthesia was administered, he slowly lost consciousness but his eyes were opened & looking into my direction.

Heartpain is an understatement.

The minor procedure took less than 15 mins & he had 8 stitches. My humpty dumpty regained consciousness shortly after & was back to his normal active self.

Happy Halloween

Aunty Mei invited us to her house for a Halloween party and it was nothing like Halloween. Ha ha! Neither did we dress up nor visit the neighbours' for trick or treat.

Still, we had loads of fun - there were food, wine & best of all, the company of great friends.



Yummy popcorns, choc biscuits & juices.


Happy Halloween cake !!

Kieran's best bday gift

We are very blessed to have such caring, supportive & generous relatives staying in Sydney. They love our kids so much.

Girl meets boy

Kieran is 3yrs old

Few weeks ago, we threw a birthday party for Kieran & we failed to capture the important moments (the cake, cake-cutting/blowing & our friends) because we were so busy entertaining our friends, looking after our kids at play & ensuring there was enough to eat & drink.

My poor man had to endure days of grumbling from me.

Yesterday, we had a simple birthday celebration in the comfort of our home & Kieran was very happy his friends, Owen & Melanie, joined us.

My darlings

Dinosaurs

Lately, my kids are fascinated about dinosaurs because their friend, Owen, is a big fan of them. To me, they are simply giantic lizards - ugly, scary & uninteresting at all !! But still, yesterday we brought the kids to the Dinosuars exhibition at the Australian Museum.



Daddy loved playmobil when he was a kid. I only know its a beautiful quality toy with a high price tag ! When we saw this dinosaur set at the museum shop, we knew it would be a perfect gift for Kieran's birthday:

Hello Mr Spinosaurus !

Happy Family

Kieran: Thats papa.. the small one is jie jie.

Ha ha !

Presents from nai nai

Next Monday is Kieran's 3rd birthday. Nai nai's parcel arrived just in time - 2 story books, a birthday card & a big ang pow.



Kieran is able to colour within the lines now - colouring his birthday card:


A gift for Kayla too - Dora porcelain tea set !

When the weather gets too hot

Our mini indoor pool - never leave the kids out of sight !

Toilet training

Some time in March, I tried to toilet train Kieran but he was very uncooperative - refused to do his small & big business in the toilet so I reckon he needed more time.

Now that hes more receptive to instructions, I let him go diaper-free during day since last Friday. It has been 4 days and so far, 1 "small" accident & 1 "big" one !

To encourage him, I have a reward chart on my bathroom door and also bought wiggles & thomas underwears too.

Slow progression but we will get there.
