Wailing at Takashimaya

We went to Royal Copenhagen, Takashimaya for the first time. Initially, i was fine smiling and yakking away with Mummy, Daddy and terrorizing anyone who walked past or look at me.

Halfway through the 4 course lunch, i started feeling uncomfortable. Daddy thought i need a diaper change. Who knows i started wailing after uncontrollably after that. Mummy tried all mean to sooth me patting, feeding and walking around. Nothing seems to work. I was out of control creating a scene at the nursery. A nice aunty working at Takashimaya offered to help so i let her thinking she is more experienced. It didn't matter, i continued.

Eventually, i was tired and quiet down. Mummy continue to pat my back and i fell asleep. We went home straight after. i'm feeling quite guilty for making mummy panicked back there. It was my first and hopefully the last. Sorry, mummy. Muack!! Muack!! Please forgive me. *smile sweetly* I'm sure she had forgiven me.

My first illness

Went to see the doctor today. It was a quick 5 mins consultation but it costs daddy $95. 2 bottle of red syrups for cough and runny nose, 1 tube of cream for the ringworms on my left arm :(

I don't like the red syrup so whenever i was fed, i will spit all out. Needless to say, i cried, screamed and protested to avoid medication. I know its for my good but it simply taste bad. Someone should really look into making the medicine taste better.

Two 'First' Tonight

Tonight, while daddy n mummy were playing with me, i giggled aloud ;P
This was the first time and more to come... :)

And i think i am having my first runny nose too... those slimy clear fluid running down my nose... yhew... hope i will be better tomorrow :)

Nursery Encounters

Incident 1: Nursery Bully
Mummy and I were shopping at IMM. Halfway through, i felt hungry and Mummy brought me to the nursery room. It was off-peak, there was no one around using or queuing for the nursery and absolutely no one at sight.

After a while, probably 3-5 mins, someone tried to open the door. Mummy prompted that we were using the room and continued b.feeding. A minute later, another attempt to open the door was heard. Again, Mummy responded. This time replying to the woman outside that we need to use the room for 10 mins. Mummy was trying to be nice by letting her have an estimate timeline and was prepare to stop me from feeding if i'm taking too long. However, she sounded annoyed and grumble aloud "Why need so long? My baby also don't need to feed so long". Mummy was extremely patient and told her that i'm on b.feeding and was unable to rush me through it. Then came an unexpected rude reply saying that Mummy was selfish, taking so long to feed and preventing others from feeding. Mummy was triggered and told the woman there are other rooms around, 2 located at level 1 so she could go there if she doesn't want to wait. That woman then go ahead to display her b*tch nature and started calling Mummy names instead. Mummy was irritated by the rude exchanges and shooed her away as she doesn't want to waste energy quarreling. Wished Daddy was there and we don't have to be harassed in such manner.

Incident 2: Rude Couple
We using the parents' room at ION. Mummy just fed me for 5 minutes and someone knocked. Daddy responded and no one answered. Seconds later, an attempt was made. This time, Daddy opened the door. He saw a cleaner and a couple with 2 kids told daddy that the couple needs to use the room and gave him a funny look. As if he shouldn't be there and misusing the room. Daddy have to convince her by pointing at our pram. Immediately, the mother of 2 defended that they didn't knock. Yes, they didn't physically but obviously, they instigated the cleaner to. Otherwise, why would a cleaner knock when it was not time for cleaning and the room's occupied

Why are these parents so rude? Where are the basic courtesy? Don't they know how to find another room if one is occupied? For goodness, most malls i have been to have more than one nursery in them. Can one limit another on the use of the nursery?

It's disturbing to know that some people simply rude and demanding. Hope someone will enlighten them - When a room is occupied, it is taken and in use. Look for another room or wait till others are done.

Dip in the Pool

Daddy & Mummy bought me a swim suit recently and guess what it came with accident protection in case i "putt putt" during my swim. The salesgirl told them that the suit was meant for 12-18 month but somehow i was able to fit in nicely even though i am just 12 weeks.

We went to Safra(Jurong) and its baby pool was fantastic. The height of the pool was just nice for me and i was able to touch the floor of the pool. With a float around my neck, i was on my way kicking and exploring within my parents closed radar of cos.

After swimming for 20 mins, i got mischievous. Guess what i did ;P ... I tested the accident mechanism of my little orange suit. I putt putt and the suit passed the test!! It successfully contained the shit in me and got me so dirty all over... ewwww... Luckily, a shower was all i need and a rinse for the suit. Phew!!

Still, i like swimming and would love to go again soon.

My first Trip - Genting & KL

Daddy & Mummy brought me to Malaysia on 01 Nov 2009(Sunday). I was 2.5 month old and very excited about my first overseas trip. It was a chance for me to prove that my ability for travel. Deep within, I knew i had to behave otherwise it will be difficult for me to go abroad next time.

It was a 3D2N Genting-KL road trip with my parents, great-grandma and uncle(Mummy's brother). We spent the first night in First World Hotel-WorldClub Room,Genting and subsequently Novotel-Suite, KL.

To me, both places were equally boring as i couldn't go to the outdoor theme park in Genting Highlands and it rained the night while we were in KL. Frankly, the most exciting part of my trip was the shopping of my diapers kekeke.... :P.. We bought 5 packets of Mammy Poko 78's and best of all, we were lucky as it was on promotion.

On the way back, we visited an organic farm and brought fruits from Ayer Hitam. Yummy... Red Dragon Fruits and Large Mangoes... Sweet!!!
