Testing Testing 123.....Our 1st Family Trip to Pulai Springs Resort

Finally, hubby persuaded me to bring the whole wong gang to have a short getaway at JB Pulai Springs Resort.

The catch: less than an hour car ride from Spore, including going thru the checkpoints.

In fact, its only about 15-20mins drive from JB checkpoint to the resort. We spent most of the time 'jamming' at the JB causeway link. It would have been a calm and peaceful trip if not becos of the cranky boy. He made hell lots of noise in the car and even attempted to bite Ester when his crankiness got over him. It was only when we reached PS then he cooled down. He just hated being tied in the car seat! haha...oh well...

Anyway, the kids enjoyed the 2-bedroom suite especially Kaden. he had fun pressing the TV remote control and climbing up & down the sofa at the hall. Trenyce enjoyed her 'bedroom' for the 2 nights. It was a single bed. I bet she looked forward to have a nice cosy room as such. Well, little girl bear a while longer...daddy and mummy are working on it. Overall, it was a nice break but not so for mummy if you know what I meant. The kids have fun at the swimming pool and playing in the suite. Little Kayleen doesnt have much to do over there, just going kaikai everyday and I suppose thats enough to entertain her for the time being whereas Hubby enjoyed the food at the resort and I think even Ester slept better too.

However, I dont suppose we will visit the place any sooner. Afterall, JP is famous as a golf resort so if you dont play golf over there, its quite a waste! Hence besides a nice golf course, nice food and nice swimming pool, there is literally nothing else to do over there...just idling around loh.

It was, however, a good trial....bringing the whole gang out of town. Hmm...travelling is surely not on our agenda any sooner. haha... Mood: Tiring

Juggling BF

Time flies. Kayleen is going to be 6months soon which means I have bf her for a good 6months! Wow! Didnt imagine myself to breeze thru it. Honestly, bf is very tiring. Very deprived of sleep. Like right now, Im waiting to pump before I sleep. I feel guilty whenever I missed my 'pumping' time cos that means I will have less bm for Kayleen. For example, I shld have 30ml for every hr..if Im pumping at 5hrs interval, I should have 150ml but sometimes I get so busy, I get to pump like 2 or 3 hrs after my usual schedule, I probably will end up with 30-50ml bm lesser.


Therefore, travelling is a headache for me cos I usually want to hurry home to express the bm. Even our recent trip to Labis (Malaysia), we skipped the idea of going to Malacca bcos I was worried that it will affect my bm expressing schedule. We havent tried going anywhere beyond our house except inlaws' place yet so I really duno how to handle expressing bm if we go KL? The thought of bringing all the pumping barang and the washing, sterilising etc at a foreign place is enought to turn me off...

Hmmm.... so when will I be going for my holiday again?

Without mommy in this pic, it looks like Trenyce is taking care of her 2 siblings by herself heh.... Hubby said Im a 'stepmother' and Trenyce is cinderalla....haha
Imagine if all sleeping together on the same bed...

Kayleen & her siblings (24 Sep 2009)

This was the first time Kaden took a pic with Kayleen. We dont usually let them take together cos worried that Kaden may accidentally 'injured' the sister. But anyhow, nothing happens. This is a good start and trust that many more will come hehe!



Many said both of them look alike. Do they?

Hand Foot Mouth Diease (5-13th Oct 2009)

I got a shock of my life when the paed announced that Kaden has contracted HFMD. It started on Monday when he had mild fever but he recovered from it very quickly the very next day after having only 2 doses of panadol syrup. On Tuesday night, when hubby was changing Kaden into pajamas….he saw all the ‘bubbles’ and rashes all over his nappy area. We were stunned. The first thing that came to our mind is if that is chickenpox but that certainly doesn’t look like chickenpox! Insect bites? FIL concluded that it was some insect bites after taking a look at his buttock. We started applying papaya cream at his affected area diligently and at the same time searching our brain for any possible reasons for the unidentified rashes. On Wednesday, MIL and FIL came up with another possible reason – fish, was it the fish that he had eaten was ‘poisonous’? I told MIL it was impossible bcos those were the fishes he had been eating all along, I did not introduce new fish species in his diet. On Thursday, realizing that we are unable to identify the problem source…we decided to bring him to see Uncle Anthony. So imagine the shock we got…especially since he has not even attended playgroup or childcare!

Not without doubt, Trenyce got it as well. Since they have been playing together all the while and we did not isolate them. Trenyce had mild fever on Wednesday morning and like Kaden, she recovered from it very quickly, also after taking only 2 doses of panadol syrup.

Luckily, little Kayleen did not contract the diease. We quarantined her in the room. The kids and their caretaker (MIL) are not supposed to enter the room where Kayleen is sleeping as that is her only roaming area. Trapped in her own room for a good 6 days before she could get close to her siblings. This is also when I truly realized the goodness of breastmilk. I believe it is the breastmilk she has consumed all along prevented her from getting the diease!

All in all, their HFMD were considered mild. Kaden, the carrier, had the most 'bubbles' appeared on his buttock, some on his mouth, hand and feet. No wonder he complained 'mouth pain pain' but we dissolve his complain thinking that its impossible for him to have mouth ulcers since he did not consume anything spicy or fried. Trenyce only had 2 littler red dots appeared on her feet, one red dot on each foot and also with mild mouth ulcers.

Really thank god that theirs was a mild case. I have seen worst from the MOH website. It certainly looks many times more scary.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have bestowed to the family little ones. Amen. Mood: Sad Milestone: 20 months old

Happy 4months old to Kayleen!

Kayleen turns 4mo today! The day I officially return to work.
I gave her her 'drumstick meal' yesterday...according to the elderly bb can start eating solids from 4mo onwards hence giving them a drumstick is to signify that. Anyway, I dont intend to give her any solids till she turns 6mo! =p

Happy 4mo, my sleeping beauty! mooch!
