After a long battle with bacteria. Zedian is sicked again. It's very sad that he will fall sick almost once a month. I really hope that i can choose not to sent him to childcare, then again, i have to think of the future. To provide him with a better standards of living the wise choice will be to complete my studies and find a job that i like.

Well, it's very sad that this Chinese new year, in order for some business to make money, they actually pack rou gan (barbecue pork) in to bite size packaging in plastic. Imagine how many waste are there. Moreover, they cannot be recycle. To attract customers with attractive package, they should think of our Earth first. More waste?Hello, more CO2! If they use plastic they should use recycle-able plastic... I don't understand..

I can't wait to meet the Zedian's soon to be new principal. I actually had a very good impression of her, she actually shared common viewpoints with me too. She is actually the first person after visiting so many centres that actually care a lot of the children in the school. And, she even offered free trials for Zedian to get use to school before i actually enrolled him in. Well basically Zedian is really wasting his time now in infant care, he only can learn little things.

Yesterday i was very upset with his behavior, he threw some tantrums and refuse to behave. The first thing i think of is infant care. I cannot think of anything else that make him behave like this. I know i need a lot of patience and time to teach him properly, and sadly, i really do not have the luxury of time.

This coming semester exams will be the worst days of my life. During the study break, i only have 2 days to study. Monday-Wednesday, no body can help me look after Zedian because is Holiday, childcare is close. And this coming weekend my mum is working... I don't know what to do.. I should do well. I know but i don't know how to.

Recently i bought a packet of organic biscuit for Zedian. It's packaging says Eco-planet. And the biscuit have very interesting shapes. Windmill, Solar sun, eco-car and the earth. Zedian loves the Car-shape biscuit. He really enjoyed playing with the biscuit and eating them as well.

I miss Barbara bakery's cookie.. they are really very nice. Not sure why vitakids hasn't been stocking on them.

I am going to buy Zedian a bike soon! It's call the Micro-G bike plus. It's from swiss and it is very cute. It is a bike without pedals and have only 2 wheels.
It looks like this http://microscooters.co.jp/en/products/g-bike

I have to study hard.... TML!

Hi everyone, I apologize, it has been very long since i last update!

Zedian is 16months now. Time certainly flies very fast. He is going to PG now (playgroup), I am so excited as he can learn more things rather than be in the infant care and watch the babies cry. Anyway Zedian has been a very good brother in school, he helps the babies to pick up their pacifiers and put it back into their mouth for them when they drop. He helps the teachers by taking stuffs that they need. However, i have convinced myself that infant care shouldn't be the place for him right now. Although he can't talk alot, he can certainly understand everything and anything we says! If he wants water he will sign for drink, if he wants biscuit he will sign for biscuit. And when he meet strangers in lift, he will smile and say bye bye to them.

The words that he knows how to say right now:
Daddy
MaMa
PaPa
YeYe
JieJie
Milk Milk
Bo Bo (motorcycle)
Bus
Jit Jit (dirty)
Pom Pom ( bathe)
Bur Bur ( porridge)
Yao ( yes in chinese)
For no... he just shakes his head, haha
Bowl
ball
bird
mum mum

I am very upset to hear about things regarding his current childcare, my heart just hurt alot and i really feel very upset that i don't have enough time to spent with him and teach him.. Since March holidays are coming, I have decided to use this whole month to teach him at home instead of sending him to school.. I really want to teach him more. Zedian knows how to throw tantrum now adays. If we were at home I will put him at his green stool for time out. It means that he has to sit in the chair until he has calm down. I really don't want to spoil him by giving in to him whenever he cries. That's just not right to do. It's very hard to share these concepts with my mum who is so old fashion. But still i am trying my best. And since Zedian is 6 months old, I have decided that i will not scold or beat him for any wrong things he do. If he do sometime wrong, I would say very firmly No, you are not suppose to do this and place him on the timeout chair. And i feel that letting him learn by consequences is much more effective than scolding and beating because it doesn't work!

I have always spent more on Zedian food. Alot of people ask me why should i let my son eat organic food. Well, do you know during the first three years of a child, they can actually absorb maximum nutrition than adults? And they should eat whole grain because it has lots of vitamins and nutrition than white rice! Why feed something that has no nutrients in it to your children?

I really felt very angry when Zedian's teachers feed Zedian UNHEALTHY foods like pandan cake, leftover foods from the playgroup. I don't even eat pandan cake because there is nothing nutritious about it so why should i feed it to Zedian? Moreover the teachers. I am having a sense of grudge to the childcare for some reasons. And as of today I have requested Zedian to be withdraw from the centre from end of this month. And I have to pay extra $300 to the centre because of the 1 month withdraw policy. Well, it's true that they sees money more important than the children. So I will just give them, I really don't want Zedian to suffer in there anymore. Zedian's favorite teach has left the centre and I feel very upset. I am worried that Zedian will not be fed properly! Oh gosh... I am so demanding. It can't help, he is my precious lil baby!

Zedian photo shoots pictures are out.. Ain't he cute?

Anyway i virtually spent the whole holiday with my deary son. We sure have alot of fun, and I did have a lot of chances to teach him new stuffs. And schools is going to start next week.. Less time for Zedian.. And the timetable sure looks like crap. I am sad. I want to spent more time with my deary son! I need to start working hard already, the world is gonna end soon.. Do you believe?

Hi.. semester exams are OVER. Results are out too. Mummy did well but not good enough to go uni. Heard that uni needs a gpa of 3.60 i only got 3.48. Have to work harder if i want to go uni..

Zedian Has mastered walking... he even run a little.. He take your things and run when you chase him hahahaha. He learns to walk at 11 and a half months! I am so proud. haha. Some people ask me how come he know how to walk already.

I would like to make use of my holiday and teach him more stuff... DON'T SLACK MICHELLE!

Oh.... i brought him to studio for a photoshoot, the pictures came out well... but only got 5... if want 20 must add $288....... so RIDICULOUS. Total have 133 photos.... if you choose 5 they will delete the rest, if you want more pictures you must have $$. I cannot imagine that they can actually delete those beautiful cute pictures... Thats how studio earn money anyway.. Stupid concept that earns money.

Zedian birthday cake is very beautiful.... But my camera is at malaysia..... Gotta ask my husband father to pass it back to us!

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates. LOL. Semester exams are coming!

Okie, i am going to update on Zedian right now, anyway he is a genius... Not that i want to boast, I am happy to tell! He sign for MILK MILK. I am so happy, haha. Been teaching him the sign for milk milk since he is 6 months old. Now, he is 11 months, and he can sign for milk milk. He will come to me and sign milk milk... So cute right? lol.

He likes bird and animals alot. He will make sound woo woo whenever he sees a bird. He will point to things when you ask him to. Eg, bird, dog, tree, car, mickey mouse, tortise, book, kitten, mittens, ball..

He also can make sounds like yes, ball, bathe, numbers, mum mum, mama, milk milk. He will point to you and point to the things he want, means he want you to help him take. He can also lift up both his hands, and ask you to carry him. He can walk with support too, like me pulling 1 of his hands and he will start walking. He can also push his walking toy to everywhere he wants, like a shopping cart. Haha. His birthday is coming! yay. Hope he can walk before his birthday! And another thing to rejoice, is that Zedian is sleeping through the night already! And he is cutting his eight tooth this few days, it is painful.. He actually have 4 on top and 3 below, now another 1 below! Okie. Will update soon again. See ya.

Hi guys! Mommy past her exams fairly well! However have to stay concentrated and work harder! Mommy is so busy this week! Zedian is still sick the whole week, down with cough and flu. He is unable to attend childcare and Zedian's grandmother is taking care of him. But Zedian grandmother is sick too! Zedian will not recover at fast pace =(.

It's been hard for Zedian as he is teething.. He feels so uncomfortable that he consistently scratch his ears till his tissues tear =(.

Mommy teached Zedian a new skill again! How to drink from a straw. I felt so happy and proud when he learnt it! LOL, he cough everytime he took a sip! Mummy is waiting for his straw bottle to arrive. Haha.

The bad news. Mommy's milk is on low supply... I have not be taking care of myself lately! I should drink more fluids and take fenugreek! If not... I have no choice to supplement him with formula. However WHO recommends breastfeeding up to 2 yrs of age. Well, I will see how it goes.

Zedian has been waking up quite frequently at night. Mommy is quite exhausted. =( School is long, and sleep is short. I have to endure!

I miss Qian Wen.. So long never meet up. Sorry i am really too busy =(

My routine... Wake up, brush teeth change, feed Zedian, School. 12-1pm head home/childcare to feed him. 6 returns home, eat, plays with Zedian, change him, read story book, feed him and settles him to sleep. By the time is already 8pm.. I will have to bath. And relax alittle bit. And is 9pm.

How can i have a CCA =.=

I hope Zedian gets well soon. And i hope he can stand up unsupported himself soon!

Everyday is exciting and enjoyable to see Zedian grow up!

A battle.

Zedian is teething and because of that he actually had a fever. It was on wed when Zedian's teacher called me and inform me that he had a fever of 38.4 degree c. I had to rush down and pick him up and bring him to the doctor. Actually it was the first time Zedian had a fever, so I was very nervous and I didn't know what to do. Well, waited quite long to see the doctor about 1 hr +. Zedian was already very whinny because of the long wait. Thank God he didn't have any ear infections. It was due to the fact that he was in infant childcare ( very prong to viruses) as well as he is teething. The doctor actually lectured me about fever. Well, It was very informative. I learnt that fever is actually very common and no need to worry so much unless there are serious issues like, irritable, drowsy, vomit. But still have to keep a look on the temperature of the baby. Brain damage can only caused when the fever is above 41 degrees c. Zedian was basically very fuzzy the whole day, as he was sick. I was extremely patient with him. At night it was very difficult for me, his temperature is constantly rising and i had to keep it down by applying wet towel on his forehead and constantly take his temperature. At 1 point, his temperature had gone up to 39.9 degree c and then 40.1 degree c I was so worried that i rush to my mom's room and told her we have to go hospital. But thankfully, after cooling down Zedian and apply wet towels his temperature gone down to 39.4 degree c. I did not sleep the whole night. ~.~ I only manage to sleep about 4 am + and when i sleep i still can automatically wake up and take temperature for him. I think that is a magic of a mummy! The following day, Zedian's temperature had gone down to 38 degree c. And today he is much better. Thank God!
