I Love My Happy Bubble And I Know She Is Happy With Us Too

2014, angel, weekend

DUH…of course I love my girl. FYI, daddy Kat and I always have the same conversation every once in awhile, and that is, “am I bias or I think she is the cutest thing in the world?”, “I think she is the cutest thing in the world”, “yah, I think so too.”

So, she is!the Cutest, Happiest, Funniest little bubble that daddy Kat and I can ever dream of having. This is even more so after her whole saga of bad diaper rash, chicken pox and bronchitis. Seeing her smile again after getting better was so precious. Now that we look back, it is also through this that we know how much she needs us when she is sick. So much that Kat learnt bababa…. And mamama…. when she was sick.

As much as it was a heart breaking thing to have sick Kat coming after u for hugs and kisses. A little spark of happiness still lighted as daddy and me felt our immense importance. 🙂 nevertheless, we are overjoyed that happy and healthy Kat is back and bringing her out to play and explore is the most wonderful thing! So happy that we trio love each other and will continue to stick happily to each other for a long long time.

Happy Kat back having a happy off day with mummy and daddy!

Mother’s Day is a Cliche

Uncategorized

So here we are, my first mother’s day. 🙂 Well, we did the whole go out for lunch thingy with Kat and Daddy Kat. We also bought my mum a bag and ended up being scolded as she mentioned that we fell into the trap of business owners trying to sell things at high prices. Actually, i feel the same too. Mothers Day is just another day for business owners to earn more. If your thinking is ” its a day for you to appreciate your mum”, i am definitely in the wrong channel with you.

First of all, I would rather Kat draw me an ugly card then for her to give me a flower. I got my first carnation at church and that poor flower didnt even manage to get it to the vase. I think it is still lying on the table, dying.

Secondly, I hope Kat appreciates me every other day, rather than just Mother’s Day. I would rather she come and hug and tell me she loves me every day then come over and tell me Happy Mother’s Day on Mothers Day.

Thirdly, we go out for dinner/lunch every weekend and come on, Kat cant treat me lunch or dinner-.-

So for me, i think i am on my mum’s stand:) I just happen to see a bag of hers on sale and got it for her. Next time, I will just give her after mother’s day. Hahahaha

Hi Everyone, I miss you much!

Yes! Its been ages since i had the time to upload this blog. Reason?

1) Kat has chicken pox

2) Kat has bronchitis

3) Because of 1) & 2) Mummy and Daddy Kat’s life has kinda been topsy turvy.

But at least. I can now happily say that Kat is pretty good and very happy once again:D So to restart the blabbering blog, I have started my facebook page:D heehee…

Angel’s Favorite Quotes

Uncategorized

Another one of my past times would be to look at quotes. But due to my extreme laziness, I never gotten myself to sit down and actually pen down my favorites. So since I have this blog, I might as well use it as a directory as well. Who knows, I might be sharing with some like minded people out there. If you have something nice, please share with me as well. Here is one of my favorites:

Reality is merely a illusion, albeit a very persistent one. – Albert Einstein

Kat needs to be happy all the time and everyday!

Uncategorized

Yes! Here comes a proud Mama post once again. I am so proud of our little warrior princess that I just have to write about it. Kat on a normal day is quite a happy bubble and you have to love her. If she likes you, she will stare at you until you smile at her. So unless you are ok with awkwardness of a little kiddo staring at you, you are bound to like her.:)


Kat when she is not feeling well 😦

Well, our little warrior princess got hit by a stomach flu through the weekends and it was really bad. Mer-little kat revisited our home and she was vomiting all her dinner out by the time it hit 9pm. She wasn’t able to sleep and was in pain crying the whole night. L I was terribly heart broken and yet as a responsible mummy to support our little warrior, Daddy and I had to carry and hug the little princess to tell her that things was going to be fine. We did manage to get her to the docs and after medication, and a day of constant sticking to mummy and daddy, she is on the road to recovering and is smiling again! hurray!

But all in all….Kat is such a lovable little girl that my only hope for her as a Mum is that she will stay happy all the time as she grows up:)

Kat’s Trial and Error: teething rashes

2014, Kat's Trial and Error, Uncategorized

And we thought it was food allergy. Kat started teething at a pretty young age, 5mths? 3 tooth then, and absolutely no issues. Her excessive saliva only came at around 6-7 months and the whole saga of teething rashes only begin maybe a month ago?

So what is teething rash? It is rashes formed around the mouth area. It is normally reddish spots and for Kat’s case, it looks a little like wounds on a bad day. We were not able to differentiate from whether it was a food allergic reaction or anything else. So of course when I, the Noob mummy Kat saw this for the first time, I told daddy Kat that we had to bring Kat to the doctors! She is a girl for Christ sake! And of course being responsible parents, when you do not know what is happening to the baby, bring your kid to the medical practitioner FIRST, evaluate what happen before you try anything funny. Why? Duh! They studied years of medical for a reason. If they cannot solve the problem, at least they can help you figure out what it is. Well, the doctor confirmed that Kat was not allergic to any food that she had eaten the past couple of days, and prescribed a cream for her to use. PHEW!

Then we were asked by our doctor to check our with infant care to make sure that Kat’s mouth area was kept dry as far as we can, be it in infant care or at home. So spotting the issue, Daddy Kat and I went straight to the infant care after the docs to tell them the issue, having a little worry that they are not doing it right. But it seem that the joy when Kat sees her teachers, prove that she is the little apple of the teachers’ eye and she could not have been better taken care of. (Trial and Error Pointer No. 1 = Always Clean With Water and Dap Dry Only)

Anyways, the whole lotion thing from the Docs didnt work and being as anxious about my darling, I moved on to household remedies. Lavender Essential Oil was what I tried on the wounds. Well, it kinda worked, Kat’s wounds dried up after a day of constant application and keeping dry but it went kind of extreme where her skin turned flaky. But nevertheless, I conclude that Lavender Essential Oil does work, but maybe not for Kat’s skin.

How did we solve the problem? After spending a whole night reading up online, I concluded that most mummies that have this issue, uses ….

Yes! Vaseline was the solution to Kat’s irritating teething rashes problem. For just $2, we solved the bugging issue that Kat has:)So happy that Noob Daddy & Mummy and our Little Kat has managed to conquer yet another little obstacle.:Dtada!

Kat’s Trial and Error

2014, Kat's Trial and Error

I was thinking that instead of only talking about our little happy story day in day out, which if you are still reading my blog, you must be enjoying it, I gotta make it more useful and helpful, from all the trial and errors that we have, growing up with Kat.

Daddy and Mummy Kat, are noob parents. High 5 if you are one too! Also, the thing about us is we are knuckle heads that don’t want to believe in old wives tales and non medical proven stuff as far as we are, bringing up little Kat. 8months have passed and I guess we have smooth out a little. I can’t say we are now super into natural stuff, we are a tiny winy more open to other things to act as supplements.

So I shall create a little section called “Kat’s trial and error” to record down how we as the Noob parents solve our little hiccups as Kat grows up. Of course that will entail some tracking back or days to Kat’s birth but as and when I am free.:)

Bali Bali Part 2

2014, angel, holiday, lil kat

Well….this being the 2nd time Daddy and Mummy Kat is in Bali, we already know what we would like and not like to do. So instead of scrambling around like all typical Asian tourists do (no offence but we Asians just do not know how to relax), we were loitering around having high tea at hotel lobby, hanging at the beach with Little Kat, splashing water with Kat at the pool etc. Maybe its because we were not flocking everywhere, we truly felt refreshed after the trip, thou the chores of looking after a 8 months tot was still there.

There were some new discoveries with little Kat over this trip.

1) I love swimming and playing with water.

2) I love bread and munching on them.

Kat with her very own nice nice homemade bread:)

3) I like people when I am having my holidays

4) I want Daddy and Mummy to carry

Bali Bali part 1

2014, angel

Bali was awesome!!! Not the kinda singles awesome where you party all night long, but awesome as in super family awesome trip where everyone is happy….including Kat.

Kat was like little miss popular in Bali…staff from hotel, boutique staff, even tourist at airport keep flocking to her to touch her hands, say hi, and “ouch…she’s super cute”…and this little fella was loving all the attention, smiling to everyone she meets along the way. We could have just left her in Bali and I think she could survive there pretty well….hahaha….proud mama moment:D

Let’s start from the airport. As usual Changi airport was awesome. With a kid, we always have to be at the airport early, so we had breakfast, shopped around play with little Kat, change her diapers, feed her…etc…We were hoping Kat could have slept more thou. But I think she knew she was going on holidays so when we were up at 5am, she was up too, and refused to sleep until 1 hr into the plane ride…

We stayed at Westin this time round. Reason being, it is reviewed to have the best kids facilities in Bali, and a little bit for everyone. It was great!!!

We got a very nice Balinese welcome dance when we arrived. Our fascinated and happy Kat got her little frangipani at her ear and a kids club welcome pack! Inside was a night light, kid safe plug stopper and the most important, A RUBBER DUCK that Kat simply refuse to let go of.:)

There were little chairs at the lobby for little kids, coloring paper for older tots, and a kids club. Since Kat was still young, there was an indoor playground for her. For older kids, there is also a bigger playground, activities, tv room, kids spa, kid salon. It’s simply awesome!

;

Our room. A family suite with a great big bed for the adults, a nice cot for Kat, kids bean bag, kids table and kids stool at the living room too!!!

So we definitely started the holiday on the right foot….more of Bali coming up!

My Hubby Is The Best In The World

2014, angel

While hubs is doing the dishes….let me write something about our marriage so far…considering that today marks the start of the 3rd year of our marriage.

Is he what I dream about when I was young?nope.hahahah…to be very honest, I never thought I was able to marry myself off since young so when I met,dated and marry him….in my heart, I was thinking like woah!i managed to get someone to marry me….lol

He was then me supervisor at internship when I got to know him and it was only when we dated that we realize that we are so much alike.:) other than the part where he just hated that I always want to manage my own things, which he also feel is not very lady like of me. But he is definitely my best friend, someone I can share everything with, someone that understands even though he doesn’t want to show sometimes:)

A year into our marriage, we had little Kat. She’s the cutest, most adorable little button. The exact replica of Aaron, even the annoying bits. Aaron is wonder daddy to this little girl. Never failing to make her laugh, never complaining to clean her dirty diaper and always ready to carry this little girl as she drifts off to dreamland. He is the hubby that makes motherhood seem easy cause the husband is always there to help.

People always mention that ur kid is the best thing that happen to their lives. For me, daddy Kat is the best thing that happen to my life, Kat is like a bonus feature.hahhaha….Happy 2 years anniversary my love.

our first ancient photo together in 2009...hahaha — our first ancient photo together in 2009…hahaha
