30th Aug I ask heaven

Ryann always love listening to songs of those serial stories on TV. He has this special liking of taiwan serial songs. Shows like 意难忘 and 爱 always gets his attention during the theme song.

This evening while we were watching 爱 on TV, the theme song 我问天 started playing.
The chorus part started:"wa meng ti, wa meng ti....." which means :"我问天,我问天" in hokkien. Suddenly i hear Ryann say:"Ti" Mum and I thought we heard him wrongly then we tried
Me:"wa meng (pauses)"
Ryann:"Ti"
Me:"wa meng (pauses)"
Ryann:"Ti"

*Faint.... but we had a great laugh.

For some who want to listen to the actual song, here it is.

23rd Aug Goodbye Wonder Women

I cant remember when I started reading blogs from wonder women dot com. 3 particular wonder woman caught my attention most and I have been following their blogs ever since then.
3 of them had one thing in common - cancer.

Molly Lee - founder of we are wonder woman website



Molly Lee was a three-time cancer sufferer who set up WeAreWonderWomen.com to support other young women going through cancer. Molly passed away on 29 May 2008, after being named the Singapore Woman of the Year by MediaCorp.
Her husband, Josef is still running the website for her and recently started the Molly Lee appeal to raise funds for woman who may face difficulties in paying for the cancer treatments.

Shin Na

Shin was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in December 2005. In February 2008, her cancer had spread to her brain, liver, lungs, and bones. She lived in Singapore with her husband Tony, daughter Josie and son Toby.

Shin is just amazing. she writes very well and was one mother with strong fighting spirit. She gave her all to her 2 beautiful children and shared with us her journey battling cancer. She lived every day to the fullest and spent her every day as a wonderful mummy to both Josie and Toby. Even after she is gone, she donated her organs and her body for research and educational purpose. I blogged about her demised, back in Jan this year. It is just amazing how she prepared the kids to face her death.

Fleur (Flora)



Flora was diagnosed with Stage4 of Metastatic Breast Cancer, which means the cancer cells have spread to her liver and her bones. In August 06, she was found to have multiple spots in her liver, with the biggest tumor at 5.7cm. August 2008, tumors in her liver relapsed.

Flora shared alot on her fight with cancer and how cancer changed her life in general and even her marriage life. Despite her condition, she still remains cheerful and positive about life. I always feel a sense of joy communicating with her.
She went home to be with our Lord this morning at 530am.

3 of them taught me alot about life, a side of life, which not every one will experience. They taught me how to be a better mother, a better wife and a better friend. Till we meet again, wonder women!

22nd Aug Fever and poo poo

Since Thursday, Ryann have been having slight fever on and off. Occasionally, he even have soft stools 2-3 times a day. All these also means sleepless nights for Ryann and myself.

This morning i woke up at 5 plus because Ryann was trying to climb up onto my bed. He was whining slightly and sounded uncomfortable. Fever at 38.2 degrees. Thus i felt him milk and panadol to bring down the fever, Ryann was rolling on my bed until he fell asleep again and only woke up at 10am in the morning. Let's pray for a fruitful rest tonight.

20th Aug MMR side effects

Ryann is having fever from the MMR jab. So today skip school. Anyway the new teacher isn't fantastic in the first place. Mostly likely going to change to half day child care next year.
Praying for Ryann for this fever to subside with no side effects from this jab.

p/s:
I: twinkle twinkle little
Ryann: Star
I: How i wonder what you
Ryann: are
I: up above the world so
Ryann: (ponder) are.... (laugh becos he dunno how to sing)

19 Aug Bed time is struggle time

Nowadays bedtime is like WWF match live in my room. It is getting harder to get him sleep on time nowadays. He will roll and roll around, stand up on the bed and tried to run away, laugh and attempts to play with you. Best part is that we can’t leave the room and we must accompany him. If we leave the room, he will follow us as well.

There was once I tried to sneak out of the room. Not long after, Ryann came walking out of the room with his smelly pillow, smiling at me when he sees me. BTH.

At times, he will do extremely sweet things to me. Just like today, I was on his bed and I closed my eyes trying to act as if I have slept. Suddenly, Ryann came to kiss me on my lips. Oh my! I am so touched. That must be one of the most rewarding things after a hard day work.

Prayers for cancer patient Fleur

For those who read Fleur's blog will know she is a very strong 'wonder woman', fighting cancer with a positive mindset together with God.
Today, her situation has got worse and is sleeping most of the time.
Please join her family to recite Psalms 23 at 9pm today 19 aug 2009 where ever you are and what ever you are doing. Proclaim her healing by the finished work of God.

16th Aug Photoshoot highlights

Went for our photoshoot with tomato photo again. Great time spent with them at Jacob ballas as it was really hot that day.
I have yet to receive the original high res pictures but just some highlights here.

12th Aug Ryann's PD visit for MMR

Visited Dr Tan for Ryann's MMR jab and had a real bad experience.

She did Ryann 23 month assessment and asked me about Ryann's speech. I told her that Ryann knows how to say duck,No and several numbers and alphabet but just not calling us as usual. And she went on and say it is quite slow for Ryann already and she is worried about autism.

I posted a few questions like Ryann recognize us when ask which one is mummy or daddy etc, and he knows the numbers and alpha well, how can he autistic? She said some autistic kids are very good with numbers too. I said at times Ryann will see his mood for his response and eye contact and Dr Tan replied and said:" cannot see mood one." BUT WHICH CHILD DOESN’T DO THINGS ACCORDANCE TO THEIR MOOD? I don't understand at all. Kids being kids decide by feelings, isn't it?

Then before I post more questions, she tell me she cant talk to me anymore cos she got hospital appointment later so I left the room feeling really bad and unhappy. Outside the counter, I ask the nurse to check with Dr Tan about Ryann's singulair intake cos she didn’t review for Ryann. Without even checking on Ryann's lungs and stuff, she asked to continue one more month of singulair. Singulair cost $3 per dose and Ryann need to take another 1 more month.

Just last month when she did the 22-month review, she praised Ryann for knowing the alpha well as usually it only start at age 3. She said Ryann had eye contact with her the other time too. Today, what a different story. Last month she mentioned to me that she suspect of asthmatic case for Ryann too. I reject all that in Jesus's name.

I am really getting more and more uncomfortable with Dr Tan. No doubt she is good but I guess with more people visiting her ( her clinic is jam pack every day) , her service fall short as compared to before.

Maybe, I should really visit Dr Oh since she is also from NCC. At least for sure i know God's grace are showing abundantly there. Pray to God that He will provide me with all i need since the clinic is so far away. With no car and transport, thats really quite difficult. But nothing is too difficult for God.

10th Aug September birthday bash at Tampines one Amore Living
