We are in USA!

Finally we are in USA. But the trip is not easy. I think I make mummy and daddy very tired. Especially mummy. Also, we brought along many many things on the way here. Mummy thought we are going to be asked to pay for the heavy baggages we brought along. There were a total of 6 big bags, 2 small ones (mine to be carried on board), my pram and my travel playpen.

My 2 gong gong, ma mas and ah gu came to send us off. However, I was too tired and slept most of the time when we got to the airport. How can I not be tired, I woke up at 5am that day! Very soon, we had to go into the gate to get ready to board the plane. I can see my gong gongs, mamas and ah gu can't bear to part. 2 long years before they get to carry and play with me again. Mummy says I must nv forget them when we returned, becos they really love me very much.

On the plane, I couldn't sleep well. Mummy had to give me paper, menus, cups and whatever she can find to keep me entertained. I was quite bored on the plane, the space was too cramp and I screamed and yell whenever I was bored. It was a long journey , a total of 17 long hours. Luckily, (to mummy) I did managed to sleep for quite abit before we touched down in LA. So she did managed to get some rest. The aircrew did not prepare any food for me on board. Mummy was angry, cos she was told they would stock up on at least baby food bottles for babies like me. Luckily, she bought some for just in case.

However, our plane was cancelled from LA to Dallas. We were all very tired, especially me. Mummy and Daddy has to take turns to carry me while they each had to push a trolley of baggages. :( Daddy and Mummy was at a lost when they realise our flight to Dallas was cancelled due to a thunderstorm there. Daddy had to asked around for direction and nobody could reached him cos his autoroam service was not activated. After about an hour or so, we finally got some direction. We had to booked into a hotel room in LA for 2 nights before we have a flight to Dallas again. So actually its good, cos we had 2 free nights of hotel stay and rest before we continued our journey to our new home again.

When we checked into the hotel, I was really happy. The bed was so soft and comfortable and I kept giggling. Mummy said I was happy becos I knew we were on a holiday. hahaha... We spend 1 night resting and the other day to a place call Mahattan beach shopping village. Actually this is a good chance to go to the Disneyland and Universal Studio, but Daddy feels that I am too young to really enjoy myself, so we have to postpone this trip.

After 2 nights in LA, we finally took a flight to Dallas. However,the flight got delayed and we had to wait an extra hour or so in the airport. :( And the flight on board was not easy for mummy again. The plane was smaller this time and I was really bored. Thanks to the other passengers on board. They helped to entertain me. Mummy had a hard time again.

When we finally reach Dallas, Daddy's friends were there to pick us. We were taken straight to our new apartment and then for dinner. It was a long day, and when we were finally home. All I wanna do is just sleep. zzzzzzz......

Leaving for US soon...

We are going US on Friday... I keep thinking, what is this US place they keep talking about... Mummy says Daddy needs to go there to work, so she will not be working and will be able take care of me. I'm going to miss my mar mar, gong gong, ah gus n gu gus.. I spend most of my time in mar mar n gong gong house when mummy is busy. I love playing with them. Ah gus will carry me and fly high high and i really like that. Whenever i whine... all of them will quickly hurry to my room ( actually is gong gong n mar mar's room), they are on call 24hrs for me. I can see they really love me very much. Going to miss them terribly and really wonder if Mummy is up to taking care of me fulltime or not.

Mummy says when I in US, I can still see them on the computer monitor with a webcam. But I can't touch them, and they cannot carry me and sayang me as usual. Can only talk to them. So weird isn;t it???

Mummy seems to have alot of things line up for me. She said there will be a playground and a swimming pool in the new place we are staying. When the weather is warmer, she is going to bring me for a swim. Just like what I usually get in my small bathtub, but with alot more water in a very big tub, and many children can share the tub too. I can even play with them! But before all this, I have to take an aeroplane to reach there.... Mummy has been pleading for me to cooperate on that day, if not she'll be really exhausted from the long flight and handling the demanding me. :P Ok let's see how, if she feed me enough biscuits then I might consider to cooperate abit..heeeheee

Fever (PART 2)

From Mummy:

Mummy was really busy and worried for the last few nights. Your fever couldn't subside, and I have to keep forcing down the yucky orange syrup into your throat. The moment you see me walking to you with the medicine, you turn away with your mouth tightly shut.I know you hate Mummy for forcing down the medicine but I am really trying my best to get you well again.

Just when your fever finally subside, red patches start appearing on first your face then to your body. I was stressed! Why did I do wrong? Is it the new cereal that I fed u this morning, or the sheets that you lay on was dirty, or is it the anitbotics that doc gave u, or is it the towel that i wipe you was dirty.... I was really stressed up. I couldn't stop wondering , and started blaming myself for not being extra careful when taking care of you.

I rushed you to the nearest PD available, and after examing you, he said that you are having Rosy measles, fake measles. The patches will go away after a few days and you are not really uncomfortable by it. For now no medicine is needed, and you'll just look alittle ugly.

Phew.....

Fever

From Mummy:

Dear son, you really scared Mummy tonight. Ur fever doesn't subside, seems like it is not going away. It went up high to 39.1 just now. Luckily, aunty taught mummy how to sponge you and then I managed to get your temperature down, but still it is not going. Mummy is at a lost, really wonder what causes your fever. Is it becos of the biscuits that causes the sore throat or that big tooth that is coming out from your gum? Whatever it is, Mummy really hope that you'll feel better tomorrow cos Mummy really miss your smile and laughter. Get well soon, my son.

It's up!

Mummy Words:

Yeah!!! Finally I managed to get down to doing up this blog for my little boy. Its tough as I only started doing it when he was almost 8 months old. Have to track back all the way to the time he was borned. It's hard work, but worth it too. Please enjoy this together with me...

1st trial class at Babies n Creams

Mummy brought me to my 1st trial class at Babies n Creams. She said she wanted to see how I interact and behave in class, because I've nv been to 1 before. However, we'll not be able to attend to more classes as we are heading for US with Daddy for his deployment this end March.

The class was quite fun, I love the big ball that teacher gave me, n that glowy, floppy thingy that mummy swinged n bounced along with the music. Mummy says I was exceptionally attentive when I attended the class, because i was abit of a "mountain tortoise". However, towards the end, I felt sleepy n was cranky. Mummy had to stuff pacifier into my mouth to stop me from crying, but I was still whining away. So after the class, she rushed me back home so I can have a good rest.

Mummy & Daddy 's thought:
Such class is definately good for you. Exposing you to different things, giving you ample space to explore are essential for your growing up. We'll definately arrange more fun stuff for you when you are alittle older. We'll definately wanna give you the best we can provide.
