Tag: Why I Married My Other Half

I was online with Malaika’s Mummy and she reminded me about the tag that I owe on the subject ‘Why I Married My Other Half’ – tagged by Allyfeel and Judy it is not that I forgot, I just can’t think of 10 good reasons to put in.. Don’t get me wrong. I love my hubs to pieces but to sum up in 10 reasons is tough la, especially true if you’re like us, dated for more than a decade before tying the knot.

Anyways, Malaika Mummy (being my uni-mate, housemate cum good friend), she helped me sum them up based on her observation.. Check it out.

(MM- Malaika Mummy; Etcetera Mummy)

Reason 1
MM: Because he has no. 1 brain.
EM: Heehee.. he is always my No. 1 for sure

Reason 2
MM: Persistent in going after pretty girl
EM: Erm, that one I don’t know la…

Reason 3
MM: Know how to ‘shower’ you with gifts
EM: You know what they say about men who likes to buy gifts for their wife? *roll eyes*

Reason 4
MM: He remembers all the important days – birthday, anniversaries, valentine, etc..
EM: With hints from me of course…

Reason 5
MM: Always remember special celebration day with thoughtful gifts
EM: *blushed* Yeah.. so far his memory never failed him.. else.. his wife will make him remember what he forgot for the rest of his life. :P

Reason 6
MM: Know how to ‘lam’ you with sweet talk
EM: Got meh..

Reason 7
MM: Came to see you in Birmingham almost every week when he was in Oxford
EM: We took turns.…

Reason 8
MM: Talked for hours on the phone when you two were in UK
EM: Yeah, we spoke on the phone every day when we were dating. Never missed. :D

Reason 9:
MM: He ‘booked’ you for many years
EM: Well, yeah… Hubs and I started dating more than a decade ago. So we have been through a lot together all these years. It reaches a stage that I was very sure he’s the man in my life. Ahem~~

Reason 10: Because of a song hubs sang to me… very ‘lum’ :P

Since Malaika Mummy had been so helpful. I’ll like to thank her by tagging her. Kekekeke.. help her build backlinks and increase PR..

Countdown to No. 1

@ 11 months 4 weeks 2 days

This is my last post on Ryan’s baby stories. In half an hour’s time, Ryan would be one and an official toddler. No more a baby. I have said this umpteen times but isn’t it true that when we recollect our thoughts on the whole delivery process, it is just as if it just happened yesterday? Read more here.

We brought Ryan for his scheduled MMR jab this morning. As soon as I sat down, I told paed about Ryan’s eye. After a thorough examination, paed assured us the cut was right at the corner. His eyeball, nerves etc etc inside are all okay. Phew~~ What a big big relief!! Otherwise I think I will not be able to forgive myself.. AND HUBS!!

Ryan cried as soon as we laid him on the bed for his jab. Think he has a phobia of the paed. I can tell from the little rascal’s expression that he was very nervous throughout the whole process. He just held tight on mummy all the time. Aiyoh… my son is so ‘kiasi’ now.

Thought will be good to share this info. During this visit I took the opportunity to find out from paed on Ryan’s recent fever episode. Explained all the post fever symptoms like rashes to paed. He confirmed it was Roseola, another virus that causes fever. Roseola, according to paed was likely infected through air and more easily contagious between baby to baby (6 months – 3 years). There is no medication for Roseola. It is a viral infection that causes sudden and unexplained hi fever, swollen eyes and post fever rashes. So, if your baby is suffering from hi fever, with no other cold symptoms like flu, cough etc, chances are it could be Roseola. At which besides taking medication (Paracetemol / Nurofen) to control the temp, we just have to be patient, allow time for the viral to run its course.

Second thing to share with all is on stye (ngan thiu chum). Ryan is having one now. Aiks.. Luckily not obvious. Paed prescribed an eye cream (Fucithalmic) to apply. He also stressed on the importance of cleaning baby’s hands cos more than often the stye was caused by dirt that got transferred from baby’s hand to their eyes. Thus, the eye infection. I seriously didn’t know that. I always thought it was due to heaty (yit hei). Now I know……*slap head*

Tonight Ryan slept on his own again. I really want to make it a habit. I cannot be patting him to sleep every night. Big boy liow lor. Knowing Daddy’s existence will only cause interruption to my modus operandi, I shoo-ed Daddy to the next room. I passed Ryan his milk as usual after which I just laid still on bed pretended to be asleep too. At one point he was seen rolling, climbing on top of me, knocking his head on mine, etc etc to gain attention. I just ignored him. After like 30 mins he fell asleep. Kekeke.. tomorrow have to repeat the process again. Wish me luck.

Mummy and little Ryan with his newfound play gears (the cutleries) – I didnt know this restaurant provides children cuttleries. They comes in pink, blue, yellow and I think green as well. So cute…

Hello… I am turning one tomorrow

@ 11 months 4 weeks 2 days

Yoohoo….Turning into an official toddler in a couple hours’ time…. No more baby, a toddler soon. This pic was taken at PoPo’s place on the day we celebrated Ryan’s birthday. Ryan was seen here messing with cousin Sean’s tricycle. Hmm.. maybe it’s time to get this little monster one to keep him entertained at home???
