Doc For A Day

Thank you to Aunty Jeanelle for sharing about this event on facebook. Mummy signed us up for it at the Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. We were brought around demo rooms like general practice room, A&E, operating threate, nursery and pharmacy, got to try bandaging, picking out things (??) from dummy lungs and etc ... It was a pretty great learning session for us.

 

Nee's 1st movie!

We've went for Despicable Me at AMK Hub today. Nee came along and she was an angel in the cinema! No moving around, no fussing, sat still and laughed as the show went along.
We can do this more often. Yeah!

PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Why is it in caps? Cos it's the MAIN thing on Mummy's mind now (and the past few weeks). She had completed 40 hours of parent volunteer work at a neighbourhood school beside our place early this year. In fact she had been rather happy with what she understands and seen at the school thus far.

However she is still kind of holding on to 2 other "more prestigious" schools, Radin Mas (Daddy's old school) and Rosyth which is within 1km of our place. The problem here is Radin Mas is sooooo far from home and Mummy don't forsee we will move to anywhere near there soon. The other choice, Rosyth is probably a risk as there'll be balloting required.

So ... we are back to square one. Daddy said Mummy is just giving herself problem. Just settle with the one nearby and that's it. Mummy certainly hopes she won't regret this decision.

Anyway Reyden had given her some insights of his views about this matter and it kind of assured Mummy of her decision.

Yu Guo Chinese Physician Acupuncture & Physiotherapy Pte Ltd

Nee's post:

I've been having this chronic hives which bugs me for months. It comes and goes and itches badly each time. Mummy had brought me to 3 doctors/allergy specialists but all didn't help. I was being put on antihistamine for long term. Though it's very little qty of 0.5ml each time but Mummuy still don't feel good about it. She chanced upon Yu Guo Chinese Physician Acupuncture & Physiotherapy Pte Ltd while searching for remedies online. She then recalled Jiejie had went for tuina many years back for her health therefore she decided to bring me there for a try.

I did well during the tuina sessions, kind of enjoyed it, But I totally hate the black chinese medicine from the physician. It takes some effort to force it down me thrice a day. Mummy hopes all these will pay off.

Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Pond Gardens

The new Bishan - Ang Mo Kio Park has a new look and features after the reconstruction. There are also additional water and adventure playgrounds for young children.

However do not expect fanciful water features as the water playground is more of flowing streams of water for the children to have fun with water and appreciate its qualities and value.

Nee enjoys splashing the water around though.

 

We brought some food and a mat for picnic. We don't see many having picnic at the park, not sure if it's not a common thing there afterall. Anyway who cares, as long as the kids had fun with bubbles, scooter, ball and frisbee!

Reyes' in the hospital again

Reyes' post:

This is my 2nd hospital stay and it's for pneumonia this time. Mummy is guessing it's probably cos of the bad haze 2 weeks ago. I had a persistent cough which escalate to lungs infection coupled with fever and ended up in pneumonia.

I had 6 cycles of ventolin puffs at the A&E but my airway was still tight and with heavy breathing thus the adminssion. The time round Mummy didn't stay with me, Daddy did. Mummy had to go home to look after Nee and express milk. Daddy said I'm already a big gal so I need to be sensible.

Some of Mummy's friends visited me during my stay and brought me lots of stuff. We appreciate their kind thoughts. Nainai and Dua Pek came too. Though I didn't have to go school, could watch TV the whole day and there were lots of toys/ballooons for me, I still wish I was back home. I miss Reyden and Nee Nee.


I went home with a lung function test booked in Sep. PD had wanted to check if this is just a one time thing and nothing to do with my lungs. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Garden By The Bay

Yeah! We are finally here. We've heard raves about Garden By The Bay featuring exotic diversity of plants from all over the world and the few attractions within the garden.

We went for the Cloud Forest and Supertree Grove this round. Mummy said we'll come back and visit the others another day.

The Cloud Forest is cool, literally. The cool-moist conservatory's temperature is between 23-25 degree celsius. It holds a 35-metre tall mountain covered in lush vegetation shrouding the world’s tallest indoor waterfall showcases plant life from tropical highlands in it. We all love the cool conservatory.

The Supertree Grove though not as "cool", it's quite an interesting attraction too. We took a stroll along the OCBC Skyway, a 128-metre long walkway with a height of 22-metres that connects two Supertrees at the Supertree Grove, taking in different views of the Garden.

We must say this Garden changes Daddy and Mummy's views about a garden. Thumbs up for it!
