My nightmare

Bb Lewis was running a fever out of the blue... Gave him the fever medicine but the temperature did not go below 38 degrees.. In fact the fever kept yo-yoing between 38.5 and 38.7 degrees...

It was really very worrying.. We even tried to sponge him but the temperature just wont come down... Left with no choice, we called his PD and was advised to send him to TMC while he made his way down to the hospital.

Of course, Bb Lewis did not know what he was in for.. But Mommy Me did... At least a 4D3N stay at Hotel TMC with an estimated price tag of $3k... =.='''
He still looked very active and happy rolling around in the bb cot provided by the hospital...
Happiness did not last long.. Once Dr Koh stepped in, Bb Lewis had to be placed on drip and a series of tests to be run to determine what was causing his fever...
See how angry he is now with the drip... His hands had to be taped to prevent him from pulling the needle out.. ouch...
He was struggling to play with his Sophie the giraffe...
Taken when he was all exhausted..

In the end, we stayed 3D2N when his fever was kept in check for 24 hours... He was diagnosed with a mild bronchitis... Sigh.. of cos, damage to Mommy Me was lack of sleep plus a 'hotel' bill of $2,500... =.=''''

Lucas' 1st Baking Class

Auntie Cynthia bought 2 same groupons for a baking class...
Since Mommy Me had been wanting to bring Lucas to the class for the longest time..
So I offered to take over the coupons...
Lucas was very excited about the class and already planned who to give the cupcakes to... ^^
Of cos, Daddy Sky was very concerned if Lucas could follow the instructions...
Do not fret, he did super well... Check it out:
He was realli quick (hahaha, like Mommy Me bah)
And his cupcakes were first to pop into the oven while he sat and relaxed using my iphone...
Time to decorate the cupcakes...
Done.. in a jiffy...
We wanted to book another class but Lucas was way too excited to bring his cupcakes home to his grandparents... =.='''

RWS Stay

Well, we could not go travelling since Bb Lewis is still young.
So we decided to book a night stay @ RWS instead...
We booked 2 rooms at the Festive Hotel...
I was pleasantly surprised by the room... Check out bb Lewis enjoying the big bed...
Lucas was most excited about the loft bed...He declared it to be his the moment he stepped into the room...=.='''
And he did not show any fear climbing up n down the stairs...
Wah, it's tough to carry 2 and pose for a decent photo...
We went round the place and took photos.. It was buzzing with people at night...

I would like to come again for another stay... Shall build in USS the next round...

Eager Beaver Year End Concert 2011

It was the annual Eager Beaver Year End Concert..
Lucas' teacher had been checking if any parents could volunteer to be helpers..
Mommy Me jumped on the band wagon as I was concerned about the type of make-up they would be slapping on Lucas' face...
The process was far more tiring than I expected.
It was practically like a production line where one parent helped to change the children and passed onto the next parent to do the makeup and passed to the last parent to do the hair...
And the worse thing for me was, the children ran away and then the makeup disappeared.. =.=''''



Check out the chaos in the room before they depart for the theater...=.='''
Mommy Me went to the theater earlier to do a third round of makeup touch up for all of them... faint sia...

Daddy Sky's Birthday

This year, Daddy Sky's birthday happened to be his best friend's wedding....
So we could not plan any celebrations on the actual day..
Nonetheless, Daddy Sky still received his present from his darling sons...
We only managed to celebrate today with a cake from Millie Crepe.. It is a matcha cake..
Lewis was very excited seeing the cake but hor, he cannot eat lei...
Mommy Me brought Daddy Sky to Saint Pierre for lunch.
(http://www.saintpierre.com.sg/index_landing.html)
It is a restaurant opened by a pretty famous chef - Emmanuel Stroobant.
Daddy Sky likes to watch his cookery program so Mommy Me made a reservation at this place to surprise him... Of cos, I cannot afford to invite the chef to cook for us la.. Still, we can dine at his restaurant, not bad liao hor...

Up first, the appetizers.. First - Yellow tail with seaweed.
Bread... with a super special Hazelnut butter.. yummy...
2nd appetitiser - Smoked duck.. slurp...
My starter - - Salmon mousse (smoked salmon mousse with tomato confit tartare, basil caviar and basil ice-cream)
Daddy Sky's starter - pan-fried foie gras with caramelized green apples and old port sauce
My main- - mustard infused pork belly carpaccio with pan-fried pork belly, mashed potato with rocket
Daddy's main -- miso braised black cod with celeriac puree infused with hollandaise, pumpkin risotto and basil foam
Ended the meal with coffee and tea and the classic Petite Four..
Though it was an expensive lunch, the taste of the food is still lingering at this moment in my mouth... Goes to show how yummy they were...

I can write

Check this out:
Lucas wrote this one his own.. Am a proud mommy... lolx... cos I dun recall being able to write my ABC at the age of 3 lor...

My Xmas Tree

Lucas said we need to have a Xmas Tree at home..
That's his conclusion after walking past a few shops at Vivo...
So I bought 1 back.. lolx.. A super mini one... From Daiso..
Whole tree cost me only $6...
Of cos, Lucas was excited.. He was even more excited when he saw this elephant below:
He actually broke one accidentally when he tried to open the box eagerly. But the lady at Vivo counter was very nice, he gave Lucas one replacement.

(p/s: this was a free gift for our spending.)

Indeed, he was made a happy boy with 2 simple items in one day...

Are you Scare of Dinos??

I asked Lucas if he wanted to go for this:
His first reaction was NO!!!
But after watching an episode of Diego which was featuring dinosaurs, he said YES... =.='''
Unfortunately, his first immediate response when reaching the place was - - Mommy, I am scared... faintz...
Anyway, I dragged him in... lolx..
Check out the exhibits:

While I read mixed reviews about this exhibition, I must say that personally I am impressed.
I spent a bit of time reading the information about each kind and rushed around with Lucas collecting the stamps.. ^^
You can see the worry look on Lucas' face, especially when I was telling him I wanted to touch the dinos.. He was telling me cannot do that cos they will bite...lolx...
I explained to him that I will only touch those that eats veg.. hahahaha...
After a while, he is more relaxed and enjoyed the exhibition better...
This is the best part of the exhibition:
Supposed to unearth the fossils below but he spent the time to dig sand...weird fellow.. hahaha...
Oh ya, check out Lucas' fav dino - Maisaura..
I have attached an overview of the exhibition here for anyone of you who might be interested to go.
One thing that I am disappointed with this was, there is no ATM machines and the vendors all do not take credit cards and worse, nothing to eat... (ok, there was fast food but me and Lucas did not take fancy in the food...)

In the end, we went to Vivo to have our lunch... ^^
You can see, my son is a true blue Teochew, who eats Olive Rice...
Loves his soup...
Hmm, what should I bring him to next?? (Think, think, think)
