29th Oct Ryann only interested in the gigantic book

Ryann only have interest with the gigantic book.

Yesterday i tried to read the normal A4 size story book, he was only interested for 2 pages and soon he wander off to play with other toys.

Today i showed him the gingerbread man book, and he started smiling thus i read that to him instead and he stayed still throughout the story.

Today, while Rhys was watching the vcd, Ryann went to hit on the vcd player and that caused the player to malfunction. The tv went noisy and the vcd just stopped. Rhys got frightened by Ryann's action and started crying. Naughty Ryann still act as if nothing happen. Sis told him 'No' but he simply ignore her lor. He only scare of BIL cos when BIL hold him up, he started kicking in the air. So funny. Dunno want to be angry or laugh at him.

28th Oct Ryann walks in shopping mall

Today is the first time we allow Ryann to walk in a shopping mall. This 'ya ya' little boy don't want us to hold his hands. He swept our hands away and started walking towards the escalator! Naughty boy!

Went to people's park to buy some daily necessity such as shampoo, hubby's gel and Ryann's shower gel. Decided not to continue using California baby body wash because it it really expensive. Change back to QV wash for him since it is suitable for him too. ocean is selling at $19 but at guardian is selling at $25 at least! Great buy!

Started the 5 minute method of suggestions which i previously consulted Samantha. I think i disturb Ryann at sleep cos he keep tossing and turning when i talk to him. He must be thinking that mummy is so annoying, disturb him when he sleep. I must think of what to say and record it down. So many things i hope he will not do. is 5 minutes enough? =p

27th Oct More Videos of Ryann: scare of TMX Elmo

Last time Ryann is not scare of TMX Elmo. In fact he was quite amused by it. Suddenly today, we realize that he is running away from TMX Elmo. But he is not scare of his other Elmo plush toy. So funny.






Ryann knows how to press the nose of Elmo to activate the Elmo tomato toy.

26th Oct GUG Trial class

NO cameras allowed so we couldnt take pictures in the class.

They check the hands and legs before letting the kids go in but frankly speaking, they didnt disinfect ryann's hands because he simply refuse to let them touch his hands.

Classroom setup:

Toys and balls on the floor for free play warm up. They then got the kids to put back the toys themselves. Ryann manage to put back a ball but bad aiming skills, the ball was outside the box.

When the class starts, they start to sing a song to get the kids sitting on the mat. During the singing part, Ryann enjoyed it alot. Clapping his hands along and smiling. They introduced the number 9 by counting the number of babies in the class and 9 stars were drawn on the board. Through out the play time, they encourage the babies to say bye bye to the toys.

They did quite a few songs which Ryann participate by clapping and hiting the mat. Some familiar songs we did during the class was like wheels on the bus, twinkle twinkle little star, itcy wincy spider, old macdonald had a farm.

During the class, they introduced Zoophonics. Today's letter is Q. They had this Quail puppet and this Quail puppet went round to kiss every baby on their cheeks. Then they introduced 3 words. Quiet, Quack and Queen.

Quiet - They had this book about Quiet and loud but Ryann wasn't paying any attention on the teacher. He was practically 'running' about the room.

Quack - They had this rubber duckie and the old macdonald song to attract Ryann's attention. They went round drawing this duck on every babies hand but ryann just refuse. Thank God for that as they use White board marker and some babies were even licking on it.

Queen - just some simple questions but Ryann was not listening. Neither am I.

Then we went round to the 'zoo' but singing the Zoo phonics song. Which was quite interesting.

~~~~Water break time ~~~~

Then the parachute came in. The parachute activity is for them to train on their self confidence. Ryann did very well for that segment. He was not scared, he did not cry and most of all he was smiling, The parachute activity requires us to put our babies at the centre of the parachute and mummies will hold the side and start turning round and round. Some babies started crying. After that, we tried to get the babies involved by pulling the side up and down. They started introducing a new song to teach up, down, under, fast and slow. Overall Ryann enjoyed this part.

Then come talking time. Ryann cannot sit still during the talking time. He only enjoys the singing part.We made mini maracas with Small aluminium foil balls.

After which We move on to the music room for more songs and exercise for the mummies. We sang songs of the park and we are suppose to swing them up and down like on the swing. I think Ryann enjoyed himself. Then we sang wheels on the bus. My favourite segment is the bubbles and the stars, They blow bubbles and Ryann was so happy to be able to touch them. Then they gave us each 1 touch light and they off the lights. Ryann's enjoyed them too. After everything we have to sing the goodbye song and that's the end of the class.

Overall, they were pretty organized but i think the teachers didn't control the class very well. As half way through quite messy. Ryann like the music part only. I only don't like the white board arker idea.

Ryann was so hungry after the class that he finishes his milk and he fell asleep on the way back.

I am glad he enjoyed the class.

25th Oct Ryann's latest update

Ryann was getting ready to sleep on his bed and suddenly something caught his eye and he started staring at it. What was it? Make a guess? It was his pacifier! We forgot to keep his pacifier which was hanging on top of his sarong. Ryann kept staring at it but he is such a good boy, he didn't cry at all. Ryann is officially pacifier free so he don't need them anymore! =p

We brought the Elmo giggling tomato toy for Ryann. The Elmo tomato will start to giggle and vibrate when we press its nose. Amazingly after doing a few times, Ryann was able to press Elmo's nose and make it giggle. Clever boy! Wasn't able to get it on video will sure do that the next time.

Ryann loves Sesame street VCDs, especially those with Elmo. We had this Elmo's potty time VCD at mum's place. One of the highlights of this VCD is washing hands. Sasha is watching her hands. Watch how Ryann raise his hands up exactly like Sasha when the screen shows Sasha's hands. There is this screen shot of Sasha's hands too. So cute. And look at how attentive he was during the show. He will keep his eye glued to the TV through out the video.

I tried one more time and he did just the same thing again.

At the end of the show, the sesame street character will sing the finale song. Ryann will get real excited about the song and will start clapping along.

We also tried to teach him how to put back the toys in the bag but this naughty boy cant make up his mind to keep or not to keep.

Ryann was able to sit with me to read the gigantic book again! So happy. Think God is answering my prayers. Forgot to add... Ryann is standing at 76.5cm (So short lor) but weigh 11kg!

24th Oct Ryann went to the clinic

Today brought Ryann to the clinic to get medicine just in case his running nose and cough worsen over the weekend. Actually he is alot better already but suddenly at the clinic he started coughing again. Maybe also because of air con environment. So scare he need to be on neb again. Luckily Doc Tan said not so bad but still must monitor. Hopefully he gets well over the weekend to be able to go for the GuG Trial class. During the day, he is ok but the situation worsen at night.



Ryann and Rhys sat on the ride in front of Doc Tan's clinic. Took a pic of both of them. Not a nice one as both of them are so so active, me and mum couldn't cope handling both of them.



Doc Tan said not to worry about Ryann's speech as he have until 18 months to improve on his speech. As for pointing, Doc advice that we continue to point and show him so that he will learn from there. i have a number of questions but because the clinic was so crowded, Doc Tan got to speed up. I will most likely chose a afternoon slot for his prevnar jab so that i can ask more questions.



Ryann managed to sit and read with me and hubby just now. It is the Gingerbread man gigantic book which i brought from popular bookstore. Sat him on my lap and i got him to flip the first page. Each page only have got few sentences so it is pretty easy to read through. Of cos Ryann simply cant wait, wanting to flip the pages before i could finish. But i manage to add in more actions and sounds to make it more interesting such as 'Cow' i will add the sound of Moo Moo and 'Stop gingerbread man' i will add in the stop action and get him to do it too. Half way through, Ryann got abit restless and wanted to move away but he still came back to the story after a while. Hopefully it will work every day. If it works, i will go buy other series of the gigantic book.

23rd Oct Ryann had a hair cut

Came home today and realize that Ryann's hair became shorter. That's when i realize that Tri cut his hair. Was a little bit unhappy that she didn't seek my advice and just proceed with cutting. And it is not like it was very nicely done. I could have brought Ryann to the baby hair salon. But still i didn't say much since there is nothing i can do about it.

I have to say Tri still did a good job at home. She took the initiative to stop giving the pacifier. She even tried not to give smelly pillow to him during sleep.She also started toilet training him. Bringing him to the toilet every hour.
The only thing about her is, she make decision without asking me. I know she has good intention and thus did not make a big fuss about it. I felt she really treat Ryann like her son.


I hope Ryann is able to quit all these habits soon. One very important habit to quit is fingers inside the mouth. Have tried to tell him not to do that but he will still do it.



Today, Hubby told me that Ryann's milk in the fridge is getting lesser. already touching on the extras. Suddenly i felt abit sad that i am stopping breast feeding soon. I throw away 21 packets of frozen milk just now. Heart pain. I didn't expect myself to be able to breast feed for so long. i only wanted to breast feed for 6 months actually, now is already 13 months. I have to learn to let go of this "breast feeding addiction" Must start thinking how to reward myself.

Just to share some pictures i took with my phone. Just got it uploaded.

so many expression when watching vcd.

Handsome boy at Mark's wedding.

First time siting in the trolley

This is the last picture we took with him eating the pacifier. He is officially free from pacifier for 3 days!!!! Yippee!

Ryann is a big boy now and mummy loves you so so much.

22nd Oct Day 2 without pacifier

Yippee. Day 2 WON!!! no pacifier. Today he seems to know that he will not be given the pacifier anymore, he fell asleep pretty fast. Maybe because of the medicine too. We must be persistent in not giving him the pacifier even when he is outside making noise. Hopefully i will be able to tahan him on sunday without pacifier.

Caught Ryann on video on how he walk today. He could walk pretty well already but still will fall at times. This was taken after medicine and he is feeling a bit blur already but still he managed to walk a longer distance then usual.

Ryann is still having block nose but his cough only got abit worse at night. Most likely will monitor for another day, if still no progress then i will bring him to Doc Tan on Friday. Maybe at the same time we can do a assessment and book for prevnar jab appointment. Some mummies told me that this jab will cause fever. I cross my fingers on that. Hopefully Ryann will not.

21st Oct Day 1 without Pacifier

Tri tried not to give Ryann pacifier for the last 2 days during the afternoon. So far is okay. Maybe it is also due to the medicine that distracted him. Today is the first day we are trying not to give pacifier for the whole day including the night. At first Ryann seems like waiting for something. Eyes were much more awake then usual. He will occasionally attempt to come near us as though he is waiting for us to give him his pacifier. Soon he got tired and fell asleep.

DAY 1 WON!!! Yippee!

Took a day off today and did spring cleaning for my store room and Ryann's birthday gift.

Finally fixed up the racks

Tried on some of my pre- preggy clothes. Manage to fit into some but still need to lose more to go back to my pre preggy size.
I am going to start exercising regularly. Once is not enough. Hopefully i can use lunch time to go for a fast run. My aim is at least 3 times a week. Need to watch my diet too. Still considering whether to stop breast feeding totally or continue on.

Pack up Ryann's walker, 2 bouncer, play gym and his birthday pressies. Going to keep the cot soon as well since i am going to buy a new 4 tier chest drawer for Ryann's clothes etc. Found the pack of vacuum storage bags and thus tried it using the cot mosquito net. I simply love it so much. Save space and keep the things inside clean. Should have brought more. Thank God for this creation.

Before with the huge mosquito net inside the bag.

Amazingly flat and saving of space. I am loving it.

Things to do:

1. Maths Flashcards - date line - mid Nov
2. decide on GUG or Trio - End of Oct
3. Prevnar Jab before class start.
4. Get my exercise schedule up. - Next week
5. Contact shortlisted playgroup. - mid Nov

More to go........

20th Oct New books for Ryann but he is not interested

Brought new books for Ryann so that i can try to introduce reading to him again. Brought this 3 minute nursery rhyme book, the wheels on the bus book and a gigantic big book : The gingerbread man. Was hoping the big book will catch his attention but he wasn't very much interested in them. Will keep trying, hopefully will get his attention soon.

Today is a bad day for me. No words can describe how i feel about my work now. Drain up, tired, demoralized, not motivated, frustrated, unhappy are just not enough to describe me now.
I think i need a break but at this moment of time, i can't. I am lost and i hate to feel this way. I felt that i need directions. I need time, energy and motivation to continue moving on. Not the problem with the company in general but the problem with the people. Not that the work load is too heavy for me to handle but it is the mental stress that i am facing. I felt like i am carrying 100kg of load on my shoulders but yet none of my staff are sharing the load.
As a manager, not only i have to manage the business and operations, i have to be a counsellor to them. I felt that i care for them more then they care for themselves and thus i got more worried. Every day i felt like a mother hen trying to chase after my little chicks not to do this, must eat something, must take care of your health ...... Maybe i think too much. Maybe i should just let go and draw a line between staff and myself. It is going to be tough as they are all like my closest friends. I hope i do not need to be a mother hen anymore. If only they understand how much they mean to me and how important they are in my life. They are not just my staff, my colleagues but they are my friends.

19th Oct Ryann having fever

Phew.... After the war last night, i couldn't take it anymore thus i went over to mum's place so that i could sleep for a while. Slept in the afternoon woke up still feeling tired but have to wake up to pump milk. Ryann seems to have caught a cold. Running nose and slight cough with no phlegm. Was suppose to bring Ryann out to meet Ailin and Ping for dinner but end up Ryann vomited his porridge thus we decided not to go.

Only manage to go to Ikea to buy the shelves for our store room. But we couldn't get the Maxi cab to transport those stuff back for us. Was stranded there for a good 1 hour. Comfort taxi's system was down and thus we couldn't get through the line to get a cab again. Called Sis for help and luckily Bro in law drove to Ikea to fetch Ryann back first as he was running a temperature already. As for us, I approached this family who had a lorry and was going to sengkang.Luckily, they agreed to send us back. Thank God for this kind family. They definitely will receive God's blessing for being such a kind soul. Without them and of course most importantly God, i don't know what time i will be able to reach home.

18th Oct Mark and Jacqueline's wedding

I rushed all the way from work then back home to bath so that we could be on time for Mark and Jacq's wedding dinner. Had a bad day at work. Work have been frustrating maybe due to the '100kg of load' i am carrying all by myself. how i wish they could lighten my load a little. I have reached to a point whereby i am dragging my feet to work and i hate that feeling. I have given much thoughts of moving on but now is certainly not a good time. Maybe another 1-2 years time. Haiz.

Anyway, back to their wedding dinner. Morning hubby left home at 2.30am to Mark's house because they were suppose to fetch the bride at 4am!!!! This is the first time i have ever seen people fetching bride at 4am. So early. At night, the service was quite bad. Mark wasn't very happy about it too. The food was ok only. Nothing fantastic. They didn't have a emcee and thus the restaurant emcee took over and all the guest were laughing at her mandarin pronunciation xie xie became sek sek, yong jie tong xing became yong jei tong xing. I know we were rude to laugh but we couldn't help it. =p Frankly speaking, the whole thing was quite disorganized.

Ryann was bored again and he have got nothing to eat so end up we brought him a 'bao' to make him quietly sit in his high chair. He was quite cranky at the end of the dinner and fell asleep at 10pm but was woke up by their laughter and started crying. Ryann came back home with a bit of block nose. =(

In the middle of the night at 12 plus, Ryann kept crying and crying. I think he is teething and not forgetting together with his block nose. I applied the teething gel but it didn't work. Put him in the sarong also cry. He didn't sleep well last night all the way till 7 am!!! Both hubby and i were so tired. Hopefully this phrase will go soon.

17th Oct Ryann got scolded for not finishing his milk

During Ryann's last feed, he will usually hold his own bottle and finish his milk before he crawl down to his bed to sleep. Ryann was in his playful mood and he threw the bottle aside after he is full, leaving behind about 70ml from his 180ml. I turned him over but he keep struggling and he rejected the bottle. Took a few sips and then push the bottle away again. That's when i started telling him to finish his milk first in a very stern voice. He froze for awhile and started to drink his milk. Most of the time when he is 'hong sim' and refuse milk, mum will tell him off sternly and after which he will always finish his milk. I know he is able to finish it but he is just playful. Naughty Ryann.

Ryann is in his happy mood today. He was playing with the gold round cover for the formula milk. When we sang the wheels on the bus, he started turning the cover like it is a steering wheel so cute. Tri said he knew how to do it long ago. Make me feel quite sad that i didn't even know he could do that and i wasn't even the first one who could witness that. But i am still glad he was able to do that. Hopefully can get it on video.

Saw shulyn today, so happy that she is preggy with her little prince due in Jan next year. She look so different and i am so happy for her. Sharing preggy stories with her make me miss the time when Ryann is still in my tummy. That amazing feeling is so unforgettable. But i have discussed with hubby already. Number 2 will not come now. Wait till we are more stable financially and when we are ready. Hopefully by then i still have the energy to move on!

16th Oct Ryann seems to have bite himself

Ryann had this red mark on the internal part of his lips near his teeth. I guess he might have accidentally bite himself. So red. Hopefully it is not causing much pain.

Ryann today walk around quite a lot. He is standing well but he have this tendency to do heel raisers (Lift the heel up and down) like doing aerobics. =p
I still can remember when i was about 2 months pregnant i was still teaching aerobics. 2 class in the row some more. Maybe he sort of learned it from there. =p

When Ryann is still in my tummy, I expose him to quite a lot of loud and fast aerobics music. Maybe that could be the reason why Ryann is so super active and bad tempered. Wrong choice. My next baby must listen to Mozart. lolx!

15th Oct Granny in law in hospital

Today we received news that granny was admitted to hospital. Just last month, doc said that granny may leave us anytime. Thus with this news we were quite worried.

After work immediately rushed over to see her. Due to the medicine, she appears to be drowsy.Doc said is UTI. Plus her kidneys are failing thus she experience full body itchiness which was so unbearable that she didnt sleep well last night.

Hopefully she will get well soon.
By the time i reach home. Ryann is sleeping already. Haiz. One more day is gone just like that. Didnt even have time to talk to Ryann.

p/s: Stupid Omnia phone- black out once and Ryann's pictures went missing and gone! So mad with samsung!

14th Oct Ryann gave me the remote control!

Every time Ryann sees his milk bottle, he will go real excited and get himself ready by climbing up to my bed and lay beside the pillow. First thing he will do is to take his Tu Tu out of his mouth and when i said give mummy. He really put the Tu Tu on my hand. Usually he will throw his pacifier away. He will only put on your hand when he wake up from his nap in his sarong.

So to further test it, When he was playing with the remote control, i told him: "Give mummy." He really gave me the remote control. I am so happy he does that because he usually will disobey, hold on to the item tight and just refuse to let go. Though a little too late to understand give but i am still happy.

He was also able to put back the cap of the milk bottle and encouraging him does work for him as he was smiling so happily when i praised him and got him to do it a few more times.

These few days i have lots of thoughts in my mind. Maybe i am thinking too much but i really felt bad for not being able to find time for Ryann. Especially with my work load getting heavier these days. Often i only manage to leave office at 8pm because my work is piling up. With this economy downturn, we need to work extra hard. I have a lot of things i wish to do but i just couldn't find enough time. For some who may have the luxury of being able to leave work on time and spent time with their kiddos, i really envy you. When will it be my turn? When will i be able to flash cards to Ryann everyday and have bonding time with him everyday?

Hopefully i can get a to do list done up soon. I wasted 13 months already. Ryann will never be a baby forever. I must really work hard at work and at home. I can be a Super Mum!

13th Oct Ryann was too tired in the morning

Ryann couldn't wake up on time in the morning. He was sleeping so soundly when i went to snap a picture of him.

So cute.

Ryann is so lazy these 2 days. refuse to walk unassisted. Want to hold our hand like kor kor.

P/S: Overtime today again. So so tired. Sales is so bad. My salary is badly affected. Really must start to tie my pockets already. Hopefully sales get better. Did statistics today to analysis the situation. I really think the people are also tightening their pockets as the closing percentage is at its lowest recently. All i can do now is pray that every thing will run smoothly soon.

12th Oct Happy 13th month

Last night, i tried to go pacifier free to see if it is possible to let Ryann sleep without it. End up 30 minutes le, he still look at me like waiting for something like tat. The moment i gave him the pacifier, within 5 minutes he fell asleep already. So plan failed. =(

Today is Ryann's 13th month. I brought Ryann to ngee ann city to find my colleagues. He didnt allow anyone to carry him until Suhaimy use a balloon to lure him over. So cute.
I didnt bring his smelly pillow. Thinking to try go without it. Wrong choice. Ryann got cranky at takashimaya again and started crying. I think he don't like takashimaya leh. 2 times we were there, 2 times he was crying big time. I was alone with him and there were so many people there. I don't think i will want to bring him to orchard alone next time.I really cannot handle lor. If he behaves well, still not so bad. Wanted to buy some clothes for him end up couldn't get anything.

Meet hubby at novena for dinner at velocity. Ryann was so hungry he finished all his porridge. Brought a pair of adidas open toe shoe for him. Wanted to walk around but he got cranky because he want to sleep already so we went back home lor.

11th Oct Women's Day out at Ngee Ann City

Was on duty at Ngee Ann city today. Extremely hot and tired. Stand almost the whole day from 8.30am - 8.30pm. Still enjoyed myself thou although overall sales wasn't that good. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Will be bringing Ryann to ngee ann city to support my team mates.

By the time i reach home already almost 9pm. Took a shower first because i am all smelly and sticky. Hubby also left office late today and was real tired too. we had our dinner first at the coffee shop. was eating ban mian

Halfway thru eating, i felt some thing hard. Thinking that it might be just the ikan bilis. I tried to chew. I felt something sharp then i tried to take it out. Guess what, it is a piece of wood chip. those furniture which is old and surface start to peel off that kind of wood. I was really angry. What if i cut my tongue?

I took the whole tray over and told the auntie:"Auntie, Do you know i found a pc of wood chip in your mee? " THe answer was:"NOT MY PROBLEM HOR, IT IS FROM THE IKAN BILIS. IT IS PACK INSIDE ONE." She never even bother to apologize.

I told her:"So it is my fault and i am just plain unlucky that there is a pc of wooden plank in my mee la."

She said:"it is all pack inside, not my problem. got once i even found a metal nail inside." I was extremely shocked to hear that. IS she trying to tell me that i am lucky to have just found a pc of small wood.

I even told her:"So you mean i should complain to your supplier for you la. You didn't even bother to apologize on behalf of the company. WHAT IF I CUT MY TONGUE?"

She raised her voice and said: "IT IS NOT MY FAULT, i really dunno. I never say i dun wan to say sorry. the most of refund you lor"

I am totally pissed with her. got back my refund and left with an empty stomach. Through out the conversation, she raised her voice at me and never even apologize. Not even once.

Qiu lian ban mian is bann from my food list as i really dunno what i find the next time. Can you imagine if it is a small kid who is eating and they might not be able to take it out on time? What will happen?

Whole day at the roadshow was so busy didn't have time to eat anything. Only manage to eat old chang kee nuggets. I was so hungry then and yet this thing happen.

Once i reach mum's place, all my anger was gone. Because i caught a sight so sweet and comforting.

While waiting for us to be back, Ryann fell asleep on the playmat. So cute lor. Make me feel like hugging him. Seeing him sleeping so soundly, i didn't want to wake him up but have to as we need to walk back home. The feeling is like you are back from working feeling tired but once u reach home, your love ones is waiting for you at the sofa but he fallen asleep. I dunno how to describe that kind of feeling. It is just very sweet lor.

9th and 10th Oct Xiao mi feng Ryann

Ryann is getting more and more naughty as days goes by. Recently stick on to mum like superglue. Show his jealousy openly. BTH.

Sis brought over some of Rhys's clothes for Ryann as they cant fit him anymore. Inside there is this Xiao Mi Feng (Bee) which we tried to wear on Ryann. The picture taken using my lousy omnia phone. =(

8 Oct Ryann could walk better already

Today Ryann took almost 14 steps unassisted. So happy for that. Thou he is still walking like a drunk man, i am already very happy. Time to shop for shoes =p

Ryann today got jealous again. This time round he pushed Rhys away from mum again. So naughty. I told mum that she have to educate him that it is not right to push kor kor away. Ah mah is shared by everyone. BTH. He never even jealous when i carry Rhys lor.

Today he also started turning his head left and right to express no. Thou he had done it before few weeks back but this time he is responding to a question from sis. After that when we asked him to do again, he just refused.


Ryann also like to do a yoga pose 'downward dog' so funny and he will even go one round. Didn't manage to get the video but this is how he look like. I didn't remember going for yoga class when i was pregnant thou. =p



I also realized that Ryann is only scared of mum when she is angry with him. Once mum scold him, he will immediately keep quiet and just stare at mum. If mum still continue to scold him, he will start to play with his tongue and then will "bian zhui" and eyes will turn red. If mum didn't stop then, he will start crying. BTH. Hubby said sometimes really angry with him but when he see his cute face, he cant be angry anymore. That is really true.

I loved the video clip my sister did for Rhys. I dunno why after seeing this video, i almost feel like tearing but those were happy tears. Rhys have grown up to be a smart little boy. I still can remember the first time i hug him in my arms. That seems like yesterday and now he is a 2 year old toddler. Like the way he always call me (thou must always ask him to call me, he wont automatic one =p )'Yi Yi' loud and clear. =p
Just to share the video clip here.

7th Oct Ryann is so cranky outside

Ryann cannot fit into most of his clothes and jeans already. Some were even brand new. Because he have got his daddy's genes to have a 'tummy'. Most of his tees cant fit anymore. He couldn't even fit into some of the 12 - 18months jeans. Time to shop again =p

We brought Ryann to Plaza singapura to send my stupid samsung phone to the service centre. Samsung service centre service is super lousy. Gave the customer service staff my piece of "advice". So many people were there to complain. =(

Ryann was practically whining all throughout. He will start throwing his temper because he doesn't want to stay at one place. He liked to move around and look at things rather then stay at one shop for too long. =(

We went to clarke quay brewerks to celebrate Daniel's birthday.
He didn't want to sit on the baby chair and was mainly bored too. But he became quite amused with a bottle of mineral water. Will upload the video when hubby's friend send to me.
He was too tired by 10pm and fell asleep in the stroller.
I can feel that Ryann is a baby who doesn't like to be controlled. I hope he will grow up to be discipline.

5th and 6th Oct Ryann's stunt

Ytd didnt have time to blog because i am busy trying to load songs into my newly brought MP3 and my newly brought handphone - Samsung i900 - Ominia. Finally decided to change to Ominia. Thanks to hubby for this pressie. =p

Ytd morning, according to hubby, Ryann was still sleeping, eyes closed but suddenly he clap his hands then went back to sleep. So funny. Must be dreaming of the party. Ryann is so happy when we sang the birthday song for Rhys.

Rhys birthday cake from pine garden ; Lychee martini =p

Only got to know that Ryann is always very jealous and protective over his ah mah (my mum). My sister manage to capture that moment in video. When Rhys was just standing beside my mum, Ryann immediately crawl to my mum, stand up and lightly push Rhys away. So naughty. bth. hopefully both of them will not fight next time.

I only got to know that Ryann knows how to open the cap of the Mag Mag straw cup. I know he was trying to meddle with it just not long ago but i didnt expect him to know how to open it so fast. So now he knows how to open the cap and drink himself. =p

Just to show u how ryann walk like a drunk man. He could walk better the day before but due to space constrain and he aiming on my cpu (he like to switch off my comp), he walk quite unstable. Also can see very clearly how lazy Ryann is. When we asked him to stand, he will make his legs like jelly and refuse to stand lor. BTH.

i started giving Ryann un-blended porridge. He will need to learn how to chew if not i am worried next time he would be too lazy to chew. He seems to be able to take it but i must cut into small pieces cos he only have 2 lower pearlie.

Ryann went to hubby's office last week and he was happily playing in the spa bath tub.

Trying to poke the jets of the tub. So cute.

4th Oct Rhys Birthday Party and a pleasant surprise from Ryann

Today is Rhys postponed birthday party. Pine Garden Cake still as nice. Yummy. Food was ok except for the gyoza which was a bit hard. Expensive thou. Almost $19 per pax yet the serving wasn't a lot too. All was fun. Ryann enjoying himself playing with Rhys Kor kor's Thomas the train toys and other kids. There was Jia Xin jie jie, Damien Kor kor, Ember mei mei and Kimmy Yi Yi. Damien kor kor is just so cute. Like him a lot. I was carrying Ember in my arms and she fell asleep in my arms. Looking at Ember at 2 months old, make me remember when Ryann was still a baby. When i carry Ryann, he will just look at me with his big eyes and quietly smile. NOW, that will never happen unless he is sleeping. Time really flies.

Sis did a wonderful video show for Rhys. It was really good. Being in IT industry is an advantage after all. Looking at the video, i realize i didn't take alot of video on Ryann. Mostly photos. Must really take down his milestones cos those are the precious moments. I must try to take Ryann's 'Fish', 'Ya hor hor', 'Walking' and pushing the push walker.

Ryann gave me a pleasant surprise today. He managed to walk unassisted for at least 6 steps. Though not a huge accomplishment but still a big step as compared to previously when he could only do 2 steps. Thou not stable , i am still happy that Ryann is learning how to walk soon. At the same time, i will miss Ryann as a baby. He will soon become a toddler. Ryann, Jia you.

2nd and 3rd Oct Ryann smiling while watching The wheels on the bus

Ryann was watching "The wheels on the bus" and as the puppets start to sing, he started smiling. When there is no more puppets but only pictures of the animals, he started to climb every where again. But seeing him smile while watching TV is so cute.

Milk supply drop tremendously due to block ducts. It was so painful every time i tried to rub and massage that area. Now that new Zealand milk powder is affected as well, I am getting worried that our milk in Singapore will get it also. In Vietnam, they even recalled dairy products from Msia, Thailand and Indonesia as well. Breast milk is still the safest but i do not have enough for him.

Finally my ISO audit is over. Luckily we passed the audit. Now my next project will be the training programmes. Sales have been very bad recently. Hopefully this crisis will not hit our industry too hard. I still need money to buy powder milk! Another advantage of breast feeding. =D Yippee tomorrow is saturday!

1st Oct New pattern - Fish and Lion dance

Ryann today started doing something new. Continuing from his ya hor hor (Praying pose), he will start turn his hands left and right like a fish. So funny. I must really try to record it down as he doesn't do that very often.

He crawled under the dining chair and started turning his head left and right like doing lion dance also. I was pumping milk at that time, it is a pity that i missed it. Hopefully he does that again.

We went to Marina Square to have dinner with hubby's colleagues to celebrate 2 of his colleagues resignation. Yes, it is considered as a celebration as all of them are so unhappy working there with poor welfare and bad management. We went to Pariss buffet and we regretted it. The variety were so little and the refill of the food was so slow. We went in at about 7.30pm some of the food were empty and never refilled. Today will be the last time we will go to pariss. It is a waste of money.

Ryann was cranky towards the end of the dinner because he didn't want to sit on the chair and do nothing. So all of them took turns to carry him. Not all succeeded thou but Ryann enjoyed himself. He knock out in his stroller at about 10 plus.

Took some pictures of him in his new jumper pants , a gift from Clarice but i guess it will be the last time you can see him wearing that because it is too tight for him already. Big tummy. =p
