Bangkok trip with Nee

Reynee's post:

Mummy and Yiyi planned for a BKK trip some time ago when I wasn't taking formula milk well yet. Thus Mummy thought she will just lug me along. However they managed to coax me into taking a brand (well, it's another story) just before the trip but I still get to tag along as they had already booked and paid for me as well. Ah Gong and Ah Mah went with us too. Can you imagine how sad Gorgor Jiejie were ...

We stayed at Hotel Novotel Bangkok Platinum. Mummy knows we can always trust Yiyi for her hotel recommendations. This hotel is perfect for us as it's located just above the Platinum mall which they did most of their shopping. There's a nice foodcourt at Level 6 too. Ah Gong could bring me back to nap in the room when I was tired. The hotel has a kid's room and nice pool too.

Other than the Platinum Mall, we shopped and had dinner at Central World for the 1st day. The rest of the itinerary is as below:

Day 1
Lunch at Platinum Mall
Shopping at Platinum Mall
Dinner and short shopping at Central World
*There's a big Naraya at Central World
Supper from roadside stall on the way back to hotel! :p

Day 2
Early day at Chatuchak
BTS to Siam Square for lunch at Baan Khun Mae
Shopping back at Platinum Mall
Dinner at Chinatown T&K Seafood
Massage at Silom
*Recommended is Body Tune at Silom but we gave it a miss cos they don't allow kids.

Day 3
Breakfast and early shopping at Pratunam market
Massage at  the small shops beside Baiyoke Sky Hotel
MBK Centre for lunch and lingerie buys
Back to hotel for check out and last min shopping at Platinum Mall (yes, again!)

Our short and simple iti.

And Í was a good gal throughout, I braved thru the heat at Chatuchak, survived the boredom at their massage sessions, ate the spicy food and kept still at the no-high chair restaurants.

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.
