Sarah's Day Out

Sarah's first birthday is coming...! And everyone's excited! Not many people were when MY birthday was nearing. But what the hey, you only turn one once. Grandma Wan has arranged for a late lunch at Mad Jack's Cafe (which was supposed to be for MY birthday). Oh well, I suppose since our birthdays are so close, people will lump them together and emphasize on Sarah's more. I ought to get used to that.

Let's start the day with Sarah's first taste of chocolate! Ever!

What's that outside the window?

Sarah is still strangely terrified of Grandma
If she doesn't cry, she'll just zone out whenever Grandma carries her
Psychological defence

Sarah was looking very sleepy by the end of the meal. However, a last minute decision to go to Fidgets changed that.

Mummy's got a nervous smile on her face
She's worried about all the other kids playing rough around Sarah

That two-toothed smile was totally worth the trip

Sarah still needs some help climbing

Enthusiasm - She's got it

She's got balls too

Ball rooms were my favourite places when I was a kid; Hope Sarah likes it too!
I tried to bury her in balls but she managed to crawl away

Sarah gets pushed around in a red topless car!

Sarah is one tired baby by the time she got out. Fell asleep within minutes of being in the BECO

It was 8pm by the time we got home. Sarah grew increasingly cranky throughout the night and Mummy put her down to sleep easily, to no surprise. I still got Sarah's smiles, laughter and excitement in my head. Love Fidgets. We should go again. Prepared.

Why is it when kids have so much fun, it's the parents that are shagged out?

Sarah's Fever: 38 Degrees C

Sigh... If it's not one thing, it's another.

Sarah's gotten a fever today. Currently maintaining a temperature of 37.9 degrees C. Luckily the Mrs has just recovered from her serious case of food poisoning / diarrhoea.

She suggested going to KKH once the fever hits 39. Reasons that if we go earlier, the 24hr ER would just take a look, prescribe meds and send us home with instructions to return if it gets any worse. Lucky thing she has siblings with feverish baby experience.

Keeping the baby cool in an air-conditioned room with the fan and a fever strip on her head. The 3rd one today, as she keeps peeling it off.

Previously we kept her in a cool water tub, splashing around. I'd better get back in and make myself useful

Blog From A Bus

Stuck in a jam. Thought I'd try something with mobile blogging.

I think I see LTA Segar. He's in civilian. Uncharacteristically quiet
relative to his buddy. Talking about fire stuff. He must have left the
Force too.
Let me try to take a pic.

Work From Home

Working from home... A nice thought; to be away from office and still be productive.

The problem is: you gotta have one heck of a disciplined mind to actually do any work.

Scenario:
Rain falls. The house cools down. The bed looks cosy.

What hot blooded mammal can resist catching some zzzs in dry,cosy shelter in a cool environment?

In any case, I did manage to do some work in between juggling the sick baby and the sicker mummy.

I really thought I could do it: being a stay-at-home dad. I really have to hand it to my wife. Been doing it for over a year now. Me? I'm thoroughly exhausted by 1600hrs.

Yahoo..ooh!

I've been a long time fan of Yahoo! and I just can't help but do this tonight before I go to bed.

First Post!

Heh. I've always wanted to do that.
