Was supposed to look forward for the long weekend holiday on last Friday, but who knows on Tues (7 Apr), Laogong came back home from work and said that he would be on standby on the next day (Wed), and might need to fly to Weihai, China, to settle some work issues...

Wednesday was a public holiday for the M'sians cos' of their Ah Gong's birthday, and Laogong was so 'lucky' lor... to receive a call from his company on his confirmed flight for that night...so he took the midnight flight from Singapore to Beijing, duration of 6 hours... then waited for another 5 hours plus in Beijing Airport to board the domestic flight to WeiHai.

Btw, WeiHai is in the north-east of the ShanDong province... and hey, ShanDong, it sounded so familiar liao... because of its Peanuts...hahaha...
====================================

Friday (10 Apr), though was a Good Friday, but was tiring for me and half of my days gone for praying the 清明. Woke up at 5.30 am, and met my brothers-in-law at the 碧山亭 to pray and pay respects to the Kok family ancestors...Then at 8 am, illegally parked my car along the Lornie Road to wait for my brother and Gu-gu as they were inside the Bt Brown cemetery to pray to my late-step-grandfather. Then by 9.30 am plus was back in Bt Batok, for breakfast, whilst waiting for brother and Gu-gu to prepare for the prayer stuff to offer to my late-grandparents in the Seh Ong Charity located at Bt Batok St 23.

When reached room, was about 12 noon already... Then quickly took a shower and plonked myself to my comfortable bed and napped for almost 4 hours...

In the evening, MIL was 'on strike', a no-cooking-evening for her... so we decided to go to Jurong Point to have dinner and do some shoppings. And by 9.30 pm, we were dog-tired after the long hours mad-shopping, especially at the John Little which was having a 20% storewide sale, and bought 2 Bakugan Sling Bags, Mattress Protectors, a Bolster and Pillow.

===================================

On Saturday (11 Apr), GK attended their swimming lessons and had a good fun playing on the water slides with Totti, their new friend, from the same swimming group.


=====================================

Sunday (12 Apr) was a marketing day. GK volunteered to stay at home to sleep. So MIL and I went from 8 - 10 am to the Jurong West Market and in the afternoon, was house-chores day...

But just at around 11.30 pm plus, G woke up from his sleep and vomitted, then at 3.30 am, had a diarrhoea...he kena stomach flu.....

======================================

On Tuesday (14 Apr), Laogong was back from China and reached home at 7.20 am. Still kind of him to offer to send me to work first, then go for breakfast on his own...

========================================

Yesterday (15 Apr) was an excursion day for GK's class. G has been absent from school for the past 2 days, and was happy to see his classmates again. I was invited to parent-volunteer to take care of the class, so took a day's leave to join in the excursion to Changi Airport Terminal 3 for a Maths Trail.

Was checking with GK's form teacher about the class attendance for the past 2 days and was told that on Monday and Tuesday, there were 5 and 9 absentees respectively... all kena Stomach Flu... Aiyo...so contagious one..

G was well during the excusion, and probably after the whole trip from 9 - 1 pm, walking and running around the T3, we were so exhausted, that Keith and me caught our nap from 2 - 4 pm. Between 4.30 - 6 pm, Teacher Joyce came for their Chinese Tuition. And by 6.15 pm, G cannot 'dong' anymore, and he slept till 8.30 pm, and only eating 3 mouthful of rice, took his shower and plonked back on his bed again... At 11.30 pm, he started to vomit again, and diarrhoe... there went again...the stomach flu... haiz.... poor boy....

Meeting up with Dr Yeap

On 13th March, I brought GK along when I accompanied Da-Sao for her 12th week's pregnancy check-up. In the previous visit, Dr Yeap mentioned about wanting to meet my boys whom she delivered eight years ago, and there they are:

When I showed this pic to my MIL and hubby, they were stunned! Cos' Dr Yeap looked very different now.... So much prettier and smaller by at least 2 sizes.... I remembered in year 2000, when MIL accompanied me for my pregnancy check-up, we were commenting about how auntie-looking and plump Dr Yeap was...hahaha..... And now 8 years plus liao, she looks very chio liao....

Btw, in this visit, Da-Sao's baby is already 7.3 cm, last visit (in her 8th week was 4.2 cm). So far so good, she really can eat and sleep very well, and can really see her putting on weight. Good for her, she looks better when she put on weight, otherwise, too skinny liao. I remembered she told me she was only 41 kg nia when she came to Singapore, now I think she got 45 kg liao...
