This week marks the start of 宝贝2's 2nd trimester. This is also a critical milestone as it means 宝贝2 has achieved stability. Well, this coming friday, I will get to see 宝贝2 on scan and looking forward to that... however, I am feeling jittery over the blood test this friday too. Gosh, I am starting to freak out now when I am typing... b..l...o...o...d.... t...e...s...t!
I will also be bringing Keira along as she will be getting her 15-month jap at Dr Ngiam's clinic. Hope Keira will be focused to catch 宝贝2 on scan this friday coz the last scan, Keira was so engrossed with the weighing machine than looking at the monitor. *sigh* ...
Hmmm, wonder if I'll be lucky to see 宝贝2 gender this friday.. hmmm... in some pregnancies, Dr can tell if bb's a boy even at 11 weeks.... for girl, they probably can't be too sure until after 16 weeks... that's what I read from magazine. So.. let's see....
So, am I hoping for a boy or girl with 宝贝2? Well, if 宝贝2's a boy, it'll be nice... even if 宝贝2 is a girl, I'll be equally happy. There's just so much to buy and explore for girls.... love that! The dolling up part is just so enriching! haha...
This time round, I don't think I will opt for a 4D scan at 24 weeks. Reason being, it's expensive and the 4D scan does not turn out good if there are so much "tissues" covering bb's face - and this was exactly what happened with Keira's 4D scan the last time. I think it was like an extra $200-$300 (can't recall), and I was a little taunted with the 4D scan as Keira looked like she had uneven patches on her face!!! Scared the hell out of me then! I remembered I was "secretly" praying that Keira will turn out "nicely" at birth.. :-p
... and she did... haha... smooth skin and great features! ... and I always tell my hubby... this is perhaps the wonder of 马表燕窝。:-p (or am I just finding excuse to pamper myself with bird's nest????) ... haha...
So this time around... it's going to be 马表燕窝 for 宝贝2 too.

X'mas Present for Keira
On Christmas Day, we made a shopping trip for Xmas presents for our nieces. Decided on Takashimaya as the venue, and headed there...
It was not easy looking for suitable gifts as we hoped to get what's needed, rather than buying for the sake of buying. Anyway... we finally found something for Karin, Valerie and Heidi :)
Oh, there was no intention of buying anything for Keira.. haha... however, we chanced upon a Hello Kitty Supermarket Cart with loads of groceries and I was impressed and tempted. Coz Keira is always so super interested in our shopping cart whenever we visit supermarket during the weekends. She'll "copy" our actions of pushing the cart, picking stuff and dropping into the cart. Hence, this Hello Kitty is fantastic for Keira. When I took the cart to Keira, she went crazy!!! pushing the cart all over Taka... and refusing to let it go. Finally, we decided to buy this for Keira as an Xmas gift! gosh... kids these days are sooooooooo smart!
Here's Keira and Hello Kitty supermarket cart, at home...

宝贝2
Oh.. yes... 宝贝2 means... I am expecting baby #2 now. Baby#2 will be over 3 months by this Friday which means I am looking forward to crossing this 1st trimester milestone!
Why so?
Baby#2 pregnancy wasn't a stable one. Had light spotting which later became fresh red bleeding. During a span of 1.5 weeks or was it 2 weeks, I visited GlenE and Dr Chan so often to get hormone injections and was on Duphaston pills like 3 times a day. The hormone injections were the fearful one, coz:
1) I am afraid of injections!
2) After-effects of hormone injection was so painful (taken at buttock close to side-pelvic area). Yes, the pain occured 1 day after the injection and lasted for next 2 days! It felt like a WWF wrestler had punched you real hard at your pelvic with super sore bruises after. Try sitting or sleeping on the side with injection and I'll go... OOOHHH...ARGGHHHH!!! This was not yet the worse.... the ultimate experience was... before I could get over with the pain from injection, I had to go for the next... ! All in, I think I had 5 hormone injections and am glad this was over!
So much for the painful experience, I think the worst hit is still the emotional aspect. The fear of going to restroom coz I was so afraid to see any spotting/bleeding. Once, I thought I was going to lose baby#2 when it was more than spotting! That moment, my heart was pounding real hard and I was so frightened. Every thought was fighting for a space in my mind, every thought was flashing through my mind....."did I do something wrong just now?", "did not not have enough bedrest as advised by Dr Chan?", "am I weak to carry baby#2?", "was it because I travelled twice while unknowingly expecting baby#2?" .... oh.. it was emotionally stressful, so uncontrollable. Thank goodness, Dr Chan and Dr Sng were really encouraging. These words " it's not you, nothing to do with you, it's just that the pregnancy itself is unstable" ... these words made me stopping finding fault and concentrate on bringing the pregnancy to stablility.
So, baby#2 experience so far has been different. Different coz I did not have to go through a threatened miscarriage when expecting Keira. Life is so vulnerable and precious. Others have gone through worst times than me, and I am thankful baby#2 is getting stable with a good heartbeat per last check. Next week, I will be doing my triple test and looking forward to seeing baby#2 on scan.

Saturday Breakfast with Keira in Pajamas
Oh... 'jean jean, the mean machine' - a quote from a colleague... :-p
How true!
Here's the story.... it happened on a sunny saturday morning...usually Keira woke up as early as the birds catching worms. Shortly after, we took off to IMM for breakfast. K papa and I got changed, but not Keira .. hehe... she was still in her pajamas :-p Anyway, I thought, what the heck, she will go un-noticed anyway and she will not mind!
That morning, I had craving for BK breakfast... cool, ordered our food, and Keira in pajamas got a morning gift from Mr BK staff - a BK crown! Take a look...at 'princess keira'... hmm.. she looks more like a 'prince' than 'princess'...
Keira had BK too! wiping her mouth after her big breakfast! Yummy!
After breakfast, Keira in pajamas took a brief walk around IMM....
Here's her fav Elmo/Big Bird machine
Keira strolling in her pajamas! The whole mall seems to belong to her - and just her!
Let's take a look at Keira running in pajamas! She's everywhere!

Keira is 14.5 months old...1 year and 2 months
Wow.. times flies...
Keira is now about 14.5 months old... and she has really grown! Keira started walking at about 11 months (without support), and now, she has started running...! Not easy,.. i mean for me! I will have to chase her around the house, shopping malls and everywhere! Of course, dun expect her to run as in... run like an adult, but brisk walking.. or even faster than brisk.. hehe.
Oh, it's really sweet to hear her call 'papa' and 'mama' in her sweet, cute little high pitched-tone. Sometimes, she'll look into my eyes, with her head tilted and calling 'mama'... ooohh... melt my heart immediately! It's also amazing to see how much she understands us when we are talking amongst ourselves or to her. Though she knows only a couple of words and mumbles all the time, she can take our instructions pretty well! Let me try make list of instructions that she takes pretty well:
- Lele, throw this (she'll take the used tissue, walk to dustbin, throw)
- Lele, can you please pick this up for mama, give mama (she'll look around for that particular thing she just threw on the floor, pick it up and pass to me)
- Lele, put this back (if she knows where it's usually placed, she'll put it back!)
- Lele, where is xx (xx such as Dora, Elmo, Baby, Bear Bear etc... she'll hear what we say, haha.. brisk walk to her room and come back with that item)
- Lele, drink water (she'll pick up her water bottle, open the cap and drink)
- Lele, do you want milk milk (she'll say "bu-yao" or nod her head if she wants)
- Lele, sit down (she'll find a hot spot, turn around, move her butt for the right spot and sit)
- Lele, can you turn on the TV (haha... her fav, she'll look for the remote!)
.... argh... a think there are few more, I'll update when I remember.... haha! Cute, cute....
That's all for today... it's the middle of the nite, I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. So, am catching some emails and blogging at the same time....
My blogging frequency for these couple of months have dropped drastically. Work and family commitments have taken quite a substantial part of my time. Honestly, any other time left is REST, REST and MORE REST for me. Hope things will get better...
Anyway... Take care!

Mummy going away again..
I will be on business trip coming week... going to be away from Keira again... and so I am rather reluctant...
As I feel more attached to Keira, the feeling of separation gets more intense. However, I don't think she understands much about this. Anyhow, to satisfy myself that Keira does understand mummy is going away and she will not be seeing me for a while... here's a pic to show that "she misses me...."... haha...
Blar blar blar... you guys must be swearing away now... okok... I chose a pic to make myself feel better... though it's got nothing to do with me going away...
But I hope that when she gets older... she will start to understand and miss mummy when I go away....

Keira's Hong Kong Trip
Oct 30 - Nov 2: Hong Kong
1st day -
Oh.. the frightening plane ride... frightening not because we as adults are afraid of planes... but we were super worried how Keira will behave on the plane! Goodness grief, were we lucky or what.. Keira fell asleep at take-off... oohhh..arhhh... haha.. even the next aisle passenger with 2 toddlers was envious of us!!!! Well.. our "happiness" was shortlived... after 20mins... dear terror keira woked up! Arrghh.. and it was little hell throughout...
We arrived in Hong Kong on Oct 30, and dear weatherman welcomed us with super big rain drops! Ohh.... we must be '贵人', as I told myself. We did a little shopping since it was already late afternoon by the time we arrived. Keira was pretty tired then...
2nd day -
Disneyland!!! yeah....
We were excited! So was Keira.. ! We took an MTR from Causeway Bay to Disneyland. When Keira arrived, the was music everywhere... Keira was dancing.. and enjoying her mini walk from MTR to the entrance! Let's look at some pics..
Keira... Zzzz... at Disneyland...

Just an update
I have not been able to update my blog lately.. please pardon me, my dear frenz!
Not to mention, not having the time to take pics of Keira too! Seriously, I have not taken any pics of her.... for couple of weeks already.
We'll be going to HK next week...it will be Keira's 1st time on plane. She had her taste of cruising.. and now.. flying! yahoo!
Yahoo??? Jeez... I don't know how she will be able to handle the 3.5 hours on the plane! I just hope she will not scream at top of her voice on the plane! Keeping my fingers crossed that she will be obedient and at her best.. but... I know I am asking too much, and perhaps... asking the impossible! K is such a terror in action!!!!! Gosh....!
Anyway... I'll provide updates when we are back.. and this time, with photos!

I can't sleep....
Too many things bugging me, my mind. So.. let's blog about Keira!
Hmm... my blogging frequency seems to have dropped drastically over the past few months. Why? Nevermind... it doesn't matter to you, my dear audience/frens here. As long as I continue to update about lil terror the keira... it should not matter, right?
Ok.. enough said, let's getting into this biz..
Lately, I began to feel a change in Keira. What change? hmm... I can't really pin down a specific change... but then again.. it seems to make me feel that... Keira has grown! Not so much in build, size.. but ... mentally! What I am trying to say is...just 2-3 weeks ago, I was very very (extremely) upset that Keira was ignoring me as HER MOTHER! So upset that there was this particular week, Keira simply ignored me everytime I arrived at Bro's house to pick her up! She would walked away when I went into the house... and avoid contact with me. All she wanted then was my mum (her grandma), my niece, my eld bro... and even my sis-in-law...everyone except ME! What the %$#%.... what did I not do right? or what have I done wrong?? I kept pondering for nites... and my ultimatum was when she refused to go home with me..and cried all the way home, while cleaning her up... right up till she fell asleep from fatigue! That nite.. I remembered it was a friday nite... I couldn't withstand this emotionally... and I cried to hb. Blar..blar..blar...meh..meh...meh... I went...telling my hb how hurt i was... blar blar blar....
After some consolation, and still couldn't figure out what went wrong, I decided to perform my role better (with some advice from hb). That weekends...and following weekdays... I spent every moments I can have with her... played with her... looked into her eyes... hugged her.... gave her all my attention (even though I was exhausted!!!)... and every nite when I brought her home... I played with her for an hour...... show her new things... hugged her....until she fell asleep. At this juncture.. you (my reader of blog) must be thinking... have I not been doing all these at all.. all these while??? The answer is... YES I HAVE ever since she was born! So... what difference have I made these past weeks???? My conclusion was (is) ... my actions are MORE INTENSE than b4. Instead of purely entertaining her... like before, I engaged her with all intensity! ...I tell u.. it made a whole world of difference after these 2-3 weeks of efforts! Keira has been showing me alotsa love lately... she hugs my legs, my body, my arms....... and she doesn't cry knowing she needs to go home with me, instead she holds my finger, and wave everyone "goodbye"... and walks off "finger-in finger" with me to the lift! Tonight... though I picked her up pretty late (845pm which by usual practice, she would have been asleep), and she was having fun with my bro and niece.... she actually left the place with me without any protest and waved everyone "goodbye" .... and stayed so obedient throught out the journey back home, and tugged herself so tightly to me when I carried her. Seems to show me that she knows what she is doing, that she is happy with ME as her mum NOW... and feeling the love from me... and thus reciprocating the love back to me...
Hmm...Such a nice feeling. Guess there is no answer to her behaviour why she reacted that way 3 weeks ago?????

Bubble Chair, "Goon-du" Hair and Self-Made Train for Keira
Couple of interesting updates for the past weekends.
(1) Bubble chair
K papa's aunt gave a bubble chair as a gift to us when Keira was born... hmmm.. that's like 1 yr 1 mth ago! Anyway... during this time, the chair wasn't suitable for Keira and therefore we kept it and was expecting to open it only when she is about 2 yr.. (btw, according to the packaging, it's written from 3 yrs onwards). Anyway... I nagged K papa to get the bubble chair pumped up for Keira...
Keira checking to see how well it fitted her ....
(2) "Goon-du" Hair Cut by Grandma
Well, I understand it's not easy to maintain 100%, perfection in every service.... and I mean hair cut in this case. Even when we adults visit our fav hair stylists, things can happen... hmm... in a negative experience. So, this time round, my mum trimmed Keira's fringe and I wonder if she had missed q .... Keira's hair looked really... hmmm... goon-du!
One more...
(3) Self-Made Train by K-papa
Gosh, K papa really has his way of... saving $$$!!! For the past few months, I have been nagging K papa to buy a tricycle for Keira - type that we can push her while strolling or it can be transformed as a tricycle when she is ready to cycle on it. Well, perhaps he does not think it's worth the $... so... here's what he did for Keira on Sunday! A tu-tu train for Keira... using a plastic container + string + sofa cushion, and pulling her around the house. Geez... she enjoyed it! and couldn't let us stop to rest!

Keira walks like us
Think I better update this... so one day, I can read back to this blog and know when she started walking like an adult/toddler.
Keira started walking from 9-10 months. By now, she is walking like a toddler/kid without any support. She can walk/cruise around the house like no ones business and she is very stable with her walk. There is no need for us to really "watch her" and "catch her" while she is walking anymore... cheers... ;-)!
I supposed this is quite a great milestone for Keira to be able to get to this stage at/before 1-year. Cool.. that's what my mum told me. Cheers....

Keira's 1st Mid-Autumn Festival
It's Mid-Autumn festival!
Hmm... I think it's been more than 15 years since I last (really) celebrated this festival. This year, we have Keira so there is A reason to do something to show her, and let her have some fun.
2 weeks ago, I chanced upon a TV commercial promoting this festive celebration. Coincidentally, my eld bro had some subsidized tickets to Chinese Garden for Mid-Autumn Festival. So we booked the tickets and went to Chinese Garden with eld bro, SIL and Karin....
It was SUPER crowded!!! I never expected such a turnout! We could hardly walk, not to mention "enjoy" the lightings and settings.... Nonetheless, I bought an electronic wand for Keira and bro bought both Karin and Keira a "devil-headband".
Here's our little "devil" for you....haha...

13 Sept - Little get together for 3 of us
Today belongs to just the 3 of us.... :-)
It's Keira's actual birthday today... we took half-day leave to spend some time together... Hmm...oh should I say.. our half-day was more for me...errhhh... shopping ... ?!?! ;p

Keira is One Year Old!
It's been 2 weeks since I last updated our blog. Well, it's never too late... here's the updates for you, my friends!
Keira turned 1 year old on 13 Sept, but we celebrated her birthday couple of days earlier to coincide with a weekend - 8 Sept. We invited immediate family members and close friends to join us in our previous' moment. Unfortunately... should I say unfortunate??? Well, it seems that I've always got something interesting to tell you all....So what was it this time?
Hmm, Keira woke up on 8 Sept morning with a fever!!! DUH! why??? Of all days, today when we were supposed to celebrate Keira's 1st birthday? Gosh... unfortunate? I think so... coz I dun think she enjoyed the day as we hoped for her to. Anyway... I have some pictures taken to show all my friends....
First of all, our attempts to set up the function room for the celebration. Frankly, I have under-estimated the energy needed to set it up! I thought it was easy..no brainer, simple and fast, no frills... Blarrrr... I was wrong! Pumping those balloons, tieing them and fixing up to create a "theme" is such a hassle....I actually felt sorry to have that feeling! gosh! So... here are some pics to show you...parts of the function room set up. Great efforts from Hb, my eld bro, my dad, Karin, SIL and I....
The next key item was the Cake! We booked the cake some 2-3 weeks in advanced. It was also a tough decision - maybe just me... I wanted Elmo-2D/3D cake in 2 kg but just couldn't find a nice one. Finally, hb settled for a No. 1-shaped cake with Sesame Street characters. Hmm.. it turned out pretty nice, and the kids at the party were thrilled with the cake! haha... so was I! The cake tasted great too! Till today, I was still mesmerized by it! Think I should order from this bakery on my next xx birthday ;p
Here's Karin, Keira and Valerie... the other kids looked on with same level of excitment, haha.

Finally, Keira and I :-). Poor gal, she had the fever thoughout the party. Party ended at 3pm, by the time we got home, it was almost 5pm.
And... we thought, and we were told... Keira had fever due to teething.... coz she had no cough, no running nose etc etc....Well, by the time we got home, her fever rose to 38.8 degrees, we brought her to KK hospital, it's just too high. By the time we reached KK, her temperature registered at 39.6! That warranted for emergency case, and we stayed for 1 hr with Dr's instruction to monitor her. Thank goodness, her fever dropped and we went home....
For the rest of the days, Keira was recuperating....

Ingredients:
· 4-5 udon, boiled and diced
· ½ small carrot, peeled and diced
· 4 - 5 Spinach leaves, washed and chopped
· 200ml water
Method:
1. Wash Udon and boil
2. Place carrot and spinach in a small pot or slow cooker to boil and simmer until carrot is soft
3. Place Udon in and cook for another 10 minutes until boil

Keira's attempt at swimming after mummy's slipped-incident
(mummy is super busy at work, having to start work right after putting Keira to bed every nite!. Nonetheless, making an effort to update the blog before I call it a nite)
So, if you read about Keira's unfortunate incident on Superstar Virgo swimming session (http://lonebabe.blogspot.com/2007/08/cruising-with-keira.html), here's a sequel to the story...
On Sunday (26/8), we had nothing to do at home and weather looks pretty alright so I suggested bring Keira for a swim. Ofcoz I did thought if Keira's gotten over with the cruise slipping incident... but I don't think I should avoid it just because she had a scare once. Anyway, it had been 4-5 days, and she should have "forgotten" about the incident. Plus, she IS my daughter and she is as strong as I am to challenge the waters again.
So we headed to my bro's house, so my niece can join us too! Look at how "stylo" Keira looks!
Well, Keira was indeed scared of the water when we brought her to the kids pool. For a while, she struggled not to get into the water. After some coaxing and distraction, she got into the pool. We started distracting her with floats and playing with her that she soon forgotten she was once scared of waters... haha... Good Gal!

Edelweiss
Keira loves music/songs, but not the mozart effects of that sorts! I think she doesn't enjoy mozart effects. She loves pop music, she seems to like 五月天 and F.I.R songs lot. Maybe she was influenced by me, I play these types of music while driving everyday ever since I was preggie with her. One particular F.I.R song that Keira will definitely hum along is 天天夜夜. I sing while driving everyday..loudly...and she'll hum louder than me! haha..
Lately, I tried singing Edelweiss to Keira during naptime and bedtime. She seems to love it too. Hmm...maybe it's my singing that she enjoys, and not particularly on any songs?????? I just recalled during my cruise trip with Keira couple of days ago, I sang Edelweiss while patting her to bed. I stopped singing and she turned to look at me, I continued singing and she went back to slumberland.
Anyway, I had problem trying to remember the lyrics for Edelweiss, and for the past weeks, my lyrics goes like this:
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
every morning you greet me.
Small and white, big and bright,
la, la, lalala, la...lala,
la, lalala, lalalala, lala,
lalala....lala, la
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
every morning you greet me
(anyone fainted already?)
Ok, now that I am still up and awake, I just browsed through www and found the lyrics!!!
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
every morning you greet me.
Small and white, clean and bright,
you look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow,
bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
bless my homeland forever.
----
Psst, I need to practice more kiddy songs. Maybe its time for me to learn from my niece! haha... I was "refreshed" with Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars after hearing Karin sang it... haha...

11 month-old: Another Milestone
This evening, Keira took alot more steps on her own.. 8-9 steps..... haha :-)
Keira takes 3 steps on her own, without support
So... if you've read my blog on "cruising with Keira", you will have read that Keira walked alot and took the stairs quite a fair bit as well. I think that has done her lotsa good... haha coz she is now confident of walking without any support! Yesterday evening and this morning, I witnessed her taking 3 big steps towards me and my mum... yeah yeah yeah! I clapped and she smiled :-)
Way to go, gal.... soon, you'll be cruising all by yourself at home.. haha ... (only more worry on my part for you dear....)

Cruising with Keira
19 - 22 August: Cruise to Penang & Phuket on Superstar Virgo
(photos to be uploaded shortly, come back again to check it out)
Keira's 1st trip overseas, yeah!!! So exciting for her, but stressed out for me! K papa did not go though, I went with Elder Bro, Sis-in-law, Karin my niece, my mum and dad.
Pre-trip Planning:
Plenty of things to bring for a 11-month old baby! Can you imagine??? not unless you are already a parent! There were so many things on my mind on what to bring for Keira, countless! I had to make a checklist of what to bring on an excel spreadsheet, and had to have my fren littlepony to vet it for me! Just imagine, diapers alone... how much space would that occur in my luggage already!?!?!?! ha... littlepony told me not to forget myself & my stuff with my mind preoccuppied with Keira's stuff..haha! TRUE!
So, for a 4D3N trip on a cruise, I had:
1) A trolley luggage - my clothes only occupy 1/4, the rest are full of her stuff! Oh.. mum told me to bring her pillow, bolster and blanket - which I did -> lucky I did! haha....
2) A big backpack with food/milk/equipment etc etc supplies to last for 4D3N
Day 1 - 19/8:
Arrived at Harbourfront checkin and boarded cruise by noon. Fed Keira her porridge before boarding the ship, coz she's not going to have any home-cooked porridge for the next few days. Had lunch on ship, followed by walk around the ship. Keira uncovered her hidden flair for climbing stairs.....Didn't want to stop after she tried, and for about 30 mins, we took turns to support her up and down aarrgghhh.....Finally, we managed to get her to sit down for a pic with Karin...

By about 3pm, dear Keira was yawning - big time! Had a hard time putting her to bed, coz she was sleepy yet playful!!! Finally, ship departed Harbourfront at 4pm, and Keira woke up slightly from her 'shakened' bed.. haaa...
I was quite tired out by Keira, and Zzzz by 9pm!! ha... gone was my first day. Oh.. I have to show this pic.. coz we were so amused by what we saw when we got back to the room after the beds (including the sofabed) were made....
(Apparently, the service crew member who made our beds probably saw Keira's little pooh bear, pillow and bolster... kindly make their positions to amuse little Keira... haha... CUTE! ... this scene repeated for all 3Nites...wonderful!!! thumbs up to the service crew!!!)
Day 2 - 20/8:
Had Breakfast, fed some porridge to Keira taken from the buffet spread. Sis-in-law was amazed how much Keira eats...non-stop! Never seems to be enough was her comments.. haa..
After lunch we disembarked in Penang. Had to take a boat ride from cruise to shore... very hot and stuffy! Poor Keira was perspiring! It was also very challenging getting taxi to get to the shopping area. We made it anyway... shopped for couple hours and Keira ZZZZzz in my arms while we shopped. While Keira was ZZzzz, I managed to buy 2 pairs of shoes for her. Glad I was able to find shoes for her size coz I could never find nice design in her size for Keira. They are cheap too, about SGD10 for each pair. Yeah... felt like mission accomplished for me... ;-)

Day 3 - 21/8:
Phuket for one day! Disembarked after breakfast. We joined the free&easy land tour to get to Patong beach for shopping. Bad weather! It rained for 15 mins, stopped for 15 mins, and rain in that sequence throughout the day! My goodness!!! Bought Keira a Ripcurl set for SGD7. Looked and bargained high and low for an England Jersey set for her, but to no avail. :-(
Got back on cruise by about 4 plus pm. Rested before dinner. Keira slept early... by 8 plus pm, she was in slumberland with little pooh bear... (oh.. i brought it along for her)
Day 4 - 22/8:
(Extremely "Exciting Day" for both Keira and I - read about this!)
Last day on board the ship. We've not had a chance to swim, and decided we should after breakfast. So excited was I, got changed into my bikini, and put on Keira's sweatsuit (coz it was windy so I did not want her to wear too little..hehe). Prepared everything, and headed for the pool... kids pool... yeah!
Headed for the first bb pool, very low level, no issue... Keira played excitedly! Bro suggested going to the jacuzzi for the bb... oh.. great idea!!!! ha... i was carrying Keira and heading towards it... took the steps up, and was mentally telling myself... slowly.... be careful... dun trip...blar blar blar...
Guess what...!! have you guessed it already???
I TRIPPED in that stupid jaccuzi, and dropped Keira into the jaccuzi!!!!!!!! Shocking!!!!!!! where is Keira!!!!????!!!! her whole head and body submerged into the water, faced down!!!!!! I grabbed her up immediately, her head emerged and for few seconds, she was in shocked. Then in couple seconds, she wailed in her loudest every cry! Her face, eye brows, cheeks all turned read, and tear couldn't stopped rolling! My god, what I have done!???!??! But the stupid jaccuzi steps were really slippery!!!! After that, Keira cried for good 15-20 mins, and refused to get into the water anymore! So that was both our 5 mins dipped for the whole cruise trip... :-(
My fault! Poor Keira, she's got a butter-finger & butter-feet mum!
Verdict:
Overall, I enjoyed the trip - more the chance to spend close/personal time with Keira and enjoying sweet moments with her. Though she was very much in her naughty-self throughout the trip, I still treasured the time spent with her. During this trip, Keira walked alot, and wanted to walk alot too! When she saw the stairways at the lobby area, she pulled me/dad to walk up and down the stairs with her! I must say, that was extreme sports to both my dad and I!

Tagging... and Tagged
Ok, I have absolutely no idea what this tagging thing is all about either! I was puzzled for a while, then I figured it's just a series of questions asked to someone/few people, and they just tag along and ask more people.
I've been tagged by a friend by the nick Domestic Goddess, and I am supposed to answer the following in my blog and tag 4 other blogging friends. I should not break the tag, so here's mine...
Four jobs I have had in my life: --> "have had" means I should not include current job...!?!
1) Project Manager
2) Systems/Process Readiness Manager
3) Sales Systems Coach
4) Sales Manager
(1 - 3 jobs within the same company :) )
Four places I have lived: --> "have lived" means I should not include current place...!?!
1) Beijing, China
2) Hougang, Singapore
3) Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore
4) My Mother's Womb!
Four Countries I have been to on vacation:
1) Korea
2) England
3) Switzerland
4) France
Four places I would rather be right now:
1) Lying beside Keira, kissing her cheeks
2) Lying on my bed, Zzzzz for at least 8 hours straight with no disturbance
3) On the cruise (so looking forward to this Sunday!)
4) Can't think of one now....
Four mums I’m going to tag:
1) Wey & Wen's mum
2) Wayne's mum
3) Rachel's mum
4) Shermaine's mum (ehh... I wanna tag her but she doesn't have a blog eh...????)

Keira Rocks !?!
Nice sunday morning...I proposed to have Mcdonalds at West Coast Park. Got changed, and zoomed we went....
We had our big breakfast sets while Keira had her soft meal bread. Right after, we took a pink Mcdonalds' balloon and went for a walk at the park. Lotsa babies, kids and dogs today... and Keira simply enjoyed looking around!
We chanced upon a 'rocker' at one of the playgrounds, and put Keira on it... immediately, she started rocking with it by herself!
Here's an pic of her....seems like she doesn't quite like to smile at the camera...umm....
Nevermind then, I captured her rocking on it!
