West Coast 西海岸公园
时间在快乐的日子里流逝得更快，眨了眨眼睛，周末就过去了。时常去的一个地方就是西海岸公园。今天大家聚得挺齐，在西海岸，孩子们玩沙子，大人听胡平一家的长滩之旅。我菲律宾的同事以前就提起过，长滩据说是亚洲最美的海滩。。。羡慕中。。。贴一下胡平的链接，考了潜水执照的家伙：http://huping0809.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/
今天的重点是妹妹，小闺女以前总是不愿意玩沙子，小脚丫怎么也不肯踩在沙子上。今天也不例外，只是穿上了爸爸的大鞋子，可以不用粘到沙子了，也玩的不亦乐乎，回来也不停得说：mei mei play sands, xiao niu play sands, play again and again....
瀚今在绑石膏的日子里很少有户外活动，和周围的小朋友在一起玩的也少了。所幸小孩子是不用热身的，大家立刻就混在了一起，很美妙！
Happy time flies. Weekend has drawn an end, with a wonderful end. We met up with the usual group of friends at a usual spot, West Coat Park, for a dog run. But we couldn't find the dogs, then the kids had a good workout at the sand play area, while adults chatted away, highlighting Ping family's most recent trip to Boracay. Years ago, some of my Filipino friends at work told me that Boracay is the most beautiful beach in Asia, and I had been fancy a trip. Actually, a trip to anywhere would be good. Just wanna a break from the routine, a happy routine though, every moment I enjoyed.
A few days ago, over lunch, we talked about the opportunities in New York, London and Zurich since the bank has a good internal/international mobility scheme. I would love to have a stay in Europe... In the end, all the moms concurred that we wouldn't trade the happy time with family for anything....just dreaming what if we were still single....

东南亚音乐之夜 South East Asia Music - Genexis Open House
This is a busy Saturday, as usual. In the morning, Han Jin went to Kumon center for the first time in last 7 weeks. Of course, there were a fair bit of resistance but mum was good at negotiating with Han Jin. :) After Kumon, Daddy brought Han Jin and Jia Cheng to City Harvest Children's Church as we were told there is performance by renowned world-class family entertainer Kenny Ahern from the USA. From past experience, I knew that Mei Mei wouldn't like the loud music there. After a little struggle, I decided to stay with Mei Mei at home. There were no photos as Daddy is not as keen to take photos..:(
After playing with Mei and lunch, I headed Science Center for a registered talk on brain development and cognitive training. A little disappointed.
Han Jin's Yamaha class in the early evening.
After dinner, we joined the neighbourhood friends for the Genexis Open House at Fisonopolis. There were actually a slew of events over the past 3 days, some are more children oriented. We caught the last piece, appreciation of the south east Asia music, featuring traditional and contemporary musical performance from Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. We were late, hence did not catch the Indo bit, but enjoyed quite a fair bit of Filipino performance, so does the kids who sit on the first row which is adjacent to the stage. If not because the kids need constant control, it is really a relaxing experience.
拜六早上爸爸带瀚今去City Harvest儿童教堂。今天有从美国请来的小丑表演。可是爸爸没有拍照。下午我去了科学馆的一个有关大脑及认知发育的讲座，不是太符合传单上表达的信息。
晚上去了附近生物城的音乐表演，东南亚古典音乐之夜。去晚了些，印尼的表演已经结束了，听朋友说不错，孩子们还可以上台试试打击乐器。接下来的菲律宾表演挺不错的，小朋友们坐在第一排，和舞台相连，有一点点不可以控制，影响到别的观众。。。稍稍闭上眼睛2分钟，很是放松享受。。。宝贝又把我拉回来。。。泰国的表演刚开始不久，我们就走了，宝贝们要睡了。

破茧 6 weeks in cast & friends together
去的时候忘了带相机，用手机拍了打开石膏的过程却找不到手机连线。。。特意打包了切开的石膏回来拍照留念。。。
瀚今前天晚上有些咳嗽，看了医生。却是自己决定吃吃贞霓给的保婴丹试试看。这两天就没有上学，妈妈也在家。今天下午约了我的两位老朋友带孩子出来玩，ChenYi 是许久不见的了，之前见过的时候好像还没有结婚，现在女儿5岁多，儿子2岁多。YinYin是较常见的，都是两个孩子的妈妈了。可惜有一点点赶，没有拍下我美丽的妈妈朋友们。一家一个小朋友代表了：Isabella 是在妹妹身后的小洋妞，和瀚今在一起画画的是Tze You。以后要常常相聚呀！
Han Jin's cast was removed yesterday, after a long 6 weeks living with it. The skin underneath the cast is so delicated and I simply washed gently using warm water but still it became reddish and had some blisters in places that I did not wash. The scar is young and pink, like a wiggling snake, hoping it becomes invisible when he grows up. My poor boy has suffered a lot from this incident and I do hope we learn something out of it.
I was at home these two days, and enjoyed a fair bit of time with my two babies. Brought Han Jin to the hospital yesterday morning, and a GP afterwards for his cough. Went to ICA with Jia Cheng to get his student pass in the afternoon, a fairly talktive young boy on the way, :), we got to know each other better and I hope we can foster the extended family bonding over time. Brought Mei Mei to her music class at KinderMusic this morning (again, I'd strongly recommend Teacher Huzzy at Kinder Music), and Mei believes an art piece in a nearby shop in Tanglin Mall is peacock :) I reckon it resembles a bit. Mei seems to be much more gifted in art and music than the mom. :) In the afternoon, we arranged a play date with some old friends: Yin Yin and Chen Yi. My two stay-at-home mom friends which I envy a lot, the luxury of time with kids and family. Both are very welled maintained and groomed :) A bit pity that it was a little rush as my two little tots woke up at 3:30pm and we went down Vivocity to meet the two mums and 3 kids (Tze You, Chen Yi's gal, 5+, a very cheerful young lady with mum's charming eyes; Isabella, Yin Yin's gal, a 3+ lovely blond who is more composed and self aware; I didn't got the name of Chen Yi's little boy at 2+ who is actively following the sister; and Yin's baby boy is at home waiting for mom's feed:).

Happy time over weekend, 嘉诚哥哥, Suntec, IMM
It has been a week since my last entry on last Sat, which was the day that I found out that we were impacted by the new electoral boundary. I was fairly upset and lost my sleep the night till 5am. Being in Singapore for over 10 years, I am much localised in terms of how Kiasu I am when comes to kid's education. I have to admit that one of the key driver for me to volunteer in the local community is to get Han Jin into a preferred school in phase 2B, though truly I would like to serve the community as well. I believe I will continue the community service in one way or another as I do appreciate what this land has offered me. At the same time, I was very disheartened when I learnt most of the schools I was eyeing for were now out of our constituency.
Panic the next day, I called MOE, PA, friends and parents who are likely be impacted, property agent, etc.. I might have to move house. I have to wait till end Apr or even later when the school list is confirmed. I realised I am sort of a control freak, panic when things are out of my control and all I can do is to wait.....
On Wed, Jia Cheng, one of my hubby's relative's son arrived, to study CAT and ACCA subsequently. I am happy that we have relatives here afterall, and hope that we can grow the family and the bonding. Over the weekend, I was determined to buy an iPhone. Read on the newspaper that Singtel has a sale in Suntec, without realising that it is the IT show! The most people I have seen in one day at one place in Singapore! It was overcrowded and with 2 kids + 4 adults, I gave up the idea of going to the Singtel booth. We went to the fountain of fortune and had dinner at Fish & Co, the so called welcome dinner for Jia Cheng. Hope he find ease with us, and find happiness here.
On Sunday, my iPhone plan again, we went to IMM, just to find out that both Singtel Shops there were out of stock for iPhone!! Had lunch, and kids played at the Garden, I picked up the ticket to Jacky Cheung's concert from Sistic, heading home. After the long nap, we went down to play with neighbourhood kids, and after dinner, we went to Queenstown library. A happy weekend!
上个拜六写完日志后，豁然发现六年一次的大选，选区重新划分，我们被从好学校聚集的Holland-BukitTimah选区划出来，想让瀚今上好学校的计划有些落空。烦恼到不能睡，接下来几天，打电话给教育部，人民协会，房产中介。。。可是都无法得到准确的消息，要到四月底学校名单才能确定，我也才能决定要不要搬家。。。孟母三迁呀。。。
老公亲戚家的孩子来读书，据说家人期望很大。嘉诚哥哥和瀚今瀚月挺能玩到一起的。我也很开心这里开始有亲戚，希望多一些人在这里开枝散叶。
先来几张孩子们相亲相爱的照片吧！谢谢Wong Family带来的保婴丹，和短暂相聚！
周末的时候，妈妈一心一意要买一个iPhone，在报纸上看到SingTel在Suntec City 有促销活动，一家人兴致冲冲地就去了。却不知道那是一年一度的IT Show，在新加坡少见的人山人海呀！一家6个大小的人，只好作罢，不和别人去挤。带嘉诚哥哥去了星达城有名的财富之泉，希望他在这里找到他的财富，呵呵。晚餐去吃鱼，当作为嘉诚哥哥接风洗尘。
拜天还是不死心的想买iPhone，一家人又去IMM，我们很喜欢去IMM，因为这里有很多小孩子玩的地方，三个游乐场，有玩水的地方。停车前三个小时又免费，呵呵。。结果两个Singtel店里iPhone都断货，几个小孩子在游乐场玩了玩，在Best Denki看大电视，吃午餐，就回来了。。。
看看妈妈的新发型，跟更臭美的皓俊妈妈学的。呵呵。。
下午，两个小小子在楼下玩别人的泡泡，男孩子聚在一起玩beyblade, 有点像我们小时候的陀螺。
最后，贴两个朋友的链接，她们都在自己醸葡萄酒。妈妈在这儿暗暗流口水。等她们做好了，一定要去尝尝，最好也自己学习一下。。。要两个月呀，要不要我先开始自学先？

妹妹童言 Mei becomes vocal
妹妹最近开始话多起来。一些她常说的：
- Mei Mei do, Mummy do. 经常妹妹做一些高难度的动作，还非要妈妈照样做，可怜妈妈这一把老骨头，随时要倒在地上做各种瑜伽里的姿势。
- Sorry, floor. 妹妹摔倒在地上，她会跟地说对不起。。Sorry, door; Sorry, table... 任何她撞到的东西。。
- Mei Mei watch Yamaha. 妹妹很喜欢Yamaha的音乐。
- shy shy... 妹妹最近变得很害羞，见到不认识的人就会躲在我的后面。
- 哥哥，不要哭。妹妹很会哄哥哥哦！会轻轻拍哥哥的头！
- I want Mummy! 妹妹很喜欢妈妈，呵呵呵。。。
- 不要Daddy! 可怜的爸爸，都说女儿是爸爸的宝贝。。看来要多几年的感情培养哦！
妹妹近期的一些照片。还有今天下午去JuliaGabrial的照片，妹妹挺开心的！但两个小时下来，妈妈已经是腰酸背痛了。还紧赶着去爸爸朋友的婚礼，不到十分钟装扮好的妈妈，有点速食面的感觉。。。真心的很开心罗玲怀孕了！恭喜呀！

Han Jin's Fashion Show 瀚今的化妆舞会
It's my happy off day again. Han Jin's class organised a cultural fashion show cum dressed up party in the morning. Thanks for the batman cloak Wan Yang bought from Australia, Han Jin is in the name of batman today. When I was there, I realised how much thoughts all the parents had put in. There were Snow White, Batman, Power Ranger, Spider Man, Strawberry Shortcake, all type of fairies, Cowgirl, Witch etc. My Han Jin seemed a bit under dressed. I have to console myself that with the cast, I couldn't buy any costume and cut it in order for him to wear. Han Jin was a bit reluctant at first to walk the show. Sensitive mommy was then worried that whether he felt a bit awkward that his best friend, He Zhang, was in a full set of batman costume. But kids are kids, he turned cheerful very soon, and walked down the aisle with a certain cool look which goes well with the batman character.
Oh, Han Jin insisted to go to school on time though I originally wanted to keep him at home till 10am when the event starts. So after dropping him, we (Mei Mei, auntie Imelda and I) went to Ghim Moh for a little shopping. I found there is actually organic lollipop selling in the Organfarm I used to go for Mei's food. Bought a few and Mei obviously enjoyed it!
On mentioning of auntie Imelda, in relation to the previous entry on who is the boss at home, I finally found out how my kids got the idea that daddy is the boss. It was cultivated by auntie Imelda! One recent day, again, Mei wanted to watch TV and asked me, and auntie Imelda stepped in to say that you should ask daddy as daddy is the boss. I was startled by my maid, as it shouldn't be part of her duty to tell my kids who is the boss. Even if she indeed thinks so, given the submissive female figure in her bringing up society, she shouldn't be in any position to influence my child to ignore my authority. I was quite annoyed and told her off, which I usually wouldn't do. In fact, she is one of the few people that I'd least like to offend as my gal is in her hand the whole day while I am at work. And I do believe if I treat her with respect and care, she would do so in turn. I have always been trying to keep her happy. Do you think I should talk to her again on this matter, or is that too much?
Ok, back to today, Mei had low grade fever and phlegm for past few days. After the show, I brought her to Kinder Clinic at Holland Grove by Dr Ravi, who patiently asked and explained, accommodated Mei's fear of doctor by examining her outside the consultation room, and second time even come out of the clinic. Much appreciated. I would recommend Kinder Clinic, both Dr Ravi at Holland Grove and Dr Gong at Gleneagles are good paediatricians. We were given the medicine, plus backup antibiotics if situation doesn't go well in next 1 or 2 days. Just now, when I put Mei into sleep, she had cough triggered vomit on me... Maybe I will start the antibiotics tomorrow.
After a quick lunch, I went to Aveda Spa at Paragon. My hubby bought a spa package with the then True Spa two years ago, which was taken over by Subtle Senses, which went bankrupt mid last year. It was a 48 session package and we only used 3 times. This Aveda Spa, probably at mediation by some spa association, is so call helping the customers to redeem their unused packages. However, when I was there, I found out I have to top up $300 over, together with my unused value at $2,600, can only redeem 5 facial sessions... And accordingly to the girl, they are high end spa service provider and the facial session indeed cost more than $500 per session even for their own client. Talked to Daddy over the phone, and we decided to bite the bullet and probably just experience the 'high end' beauty industry, as otherwise, the chances of us getting anything back is very slim. I will update you how different a $500 facial is vs a $50 facial.
With a downpour at Orchard Road, my mood is much dampened as well.
Coming back, Mei seemed fine. So we went to Ikea for some quick buy which turned out to be not so quick. Auntie Imelda borrowed over $60 today from me to buy stuff at Ghim Moh and at Ikea. That is over 10% of her salary... Mei tried my sunglasses on the way to fetch Han Jin and I even took a few shot at traffic light. Heehee..
今天我又休假，早上艳阳高照，下午大雨滂沱，傍晚又雨过天晴。心情也大致如此。
瀚今的班上早上开化装舞会，小朋友们穿着各种各样的服饰走台步，有花仙子，白雪公主，小精灵，牛仔女郎，小草莓，咸蛋超人，蝙蝠侠。。。。瀚今是蝙蝠侠造型，不过不够全副武装，前去加油的妹妹也有小兔子造型。

去瀚今学校之前，在锦茂逛了逛，居然发现有卖有机棒棒糖的。呵呵，妹妹吃的很开心！好像第二个孩子就没有第一个那么在意不要吃垃圾食物了。。。去了瀚今学校之后，带妹妹去看医生，这几天有些咳，上次的经历吓到我了。。。
下午，去乌节路上百利宫一家美容院。原因是爸爸在妈妈刚生完妹妹时买了一个按摩的配套，一直很忙，48次的配套总共才去了3次，原来的美容院在去年倒闭了，已经做好了什么都拿不回来的准备，看着一脸无辜的爸爸，也只能无声胜有声了。。。可能是因为所谓美容协会的调停，一些业内美容院出来用相应的服务抵消，刚接到电话时挺开心的，毕竟好像会有点补偿。去了之后，也知道不可能拿回45按摩服务，却发现我们要再补多$300多新币，才拿回5次面部护理，加上原来还的钱，一次护理要近600块。据说这是百利宫的消费水平。百利宫像是我2000年还在西安的世纪金花，不知西安城里现在最in的是哪里。。。很沮丧，但是只好接受了，远超过我的消费水平呀！一次$50的护理我很开心，一次$100的我也能接受，这样的价钱真的很浪费！嫌市区的停车费贵，我都是搭巴士去的。。。近3000人民币一次的护理，老妈你别骂我！出来是瓢泼大雨，我偏偏穿了一双花格子的布鞋，踩乌节路的水，郁闷呀！
一路巴士坐回来，只好阿Q一下了。。。我老公说，难不成是给脸上贴金子。就去体验一下吧。就当300块买5次护理吧！
阿Q完了，心情好了，带妹妹去宜家家具城买些东西。妹妹很开心的在每个showroom里走过，坐在推车里。结账的时候，才60多块买了一大堆东西，还有会员咖啡喝，想想那冤枉的600块一次的护理。。唉。。stop，宜家不错，东西时尚，价钱公道，质量一般。。。赶着去接瀚今的路上，太阳又出来了，妹妹很喜欢太阳眼镜，在弄坏了她的和哥哥的之后，就玩我的了。。。
