Painful Cut

Almost forgot to pen down an adventure both Ivan and I gone through last Sunday.

It is an usual things all of us do. Some do it monthly. Some....as and when required or feel like doing it. Not for Ivan. He is dreadful when mentioned about it even since baby. That afternoon we when for a hair cut.

Everything seems okay until the lady barber takes out her trimmer machine. Ivan puts out his hand to refuse. He twist and turn to avoid. I have no choice but to secure/clam him between my arms and let the barber do her job. Ivan cried and screamed. Pretty embarrassing situation to be in when other customers are watching. The lady barber asked me twice why didn't get mummy to be here. I don't think it makes any different (anyway mummy is tight up with Reanne at home alone).

Ivan struggler so as the barber and don't forget me too. It takes two adult to cut a little kid's hair. What a painful cut! Eventually the whole ordeal ended but Ivan still sobbing quietly until we reached home. Of all that, I think Ivan hair now looks much better compared to when it was still long. I really hope he can overcome his fear of having hair cut soon.

Youngest

As usual Ivan was so immense into his drumming session most often then not will be accompanied with singing. Don't ask me what he sing about because I don't know what it means. But I enjoyed his showmanship.

If you look carefully this is truly a drummer in the making. His drumstick is actually a combination of his toy hammer and a plastic rod. Can I qualify him as the youngest drummer at 2 years and 4 months old?

Looks like him, sounds like him

I was just browsing one of my favourite blog site and suddenly I stumble upon a discovery.

I spotted a photo in which a person looks like my younger brother. If you know him, his photo is quite hard to be found or I should say....captured.

Here I found this photo of a crystal clear picture of him attending Louis Pang's workshop for Charge-Up Conference 2008 . Wow, Louis I really respect you la.

Cheers bro, you're in Blog!!!

Another record breaking

Praise God, Reanne broke another record as she drank 4 oz of milk in one single feed from bottle yesterday! She is getting better and better in handling with bottle feeding especially with the new teat (The First Year). This is really encouraging for both of us.

Unfortunately on the other hand, mummy seems to be getting unwell quite frequent lately with cough. She is on MC today as she cough persistently almost the entire nite. Her throat was very itchy and cause the coughing sensation. Need to build up her immune system as well as her body wellness to keep up the demanding role that she play day to day.

Book Fest 2008

Finally I managed to attend the Book Fest 2008 last Saturday after works at KLCC. I drove all the way to town from office. Skip my lunch. No time anyway. Initial thought of taking the LRT from one of the station nearby. But what if I bought a lot of books and I need to walk and stand? So drive lo. Traffic was pretty smooth. I guess because it is still school holidays. Mummy and children didn't join.

I arrived about 2pm plus, registered myself and straight went to the entry (actually I just follow the crowd). I end up at the English section for children. There I went searching for useful reading book for Ivan. Next found two baby developments book to add up to our baby reference library for more guidance. Found few health related materials for father in-law. Added in my basket one of John. C Maxwell leadership book. Bought a medium size calculate which is dirt cheap about RM6 with 12 digit display. Finally at the end (which I though it was), grab several children educational video. By the time I walk out it's already more than 6pm and with handful of books and etc. Thank God I drove.

I say it is a eventful treasure hunting for me. Later I found out that I actually missed the whole Chinese section which is a the other side of the exhibition halls. Anyway, I can't read Chinese :(

Getting the Booster

Yesterday, Reanne when for her 2nd Pneumococcal jap a.k.a Prevnar. She takes it real good as she cried only a little but quickly resume her normal cool look after Dr. Khoo pacified her. Reanne even greeted the doctor with a smile when he calls her before applying the jab. On the other hand Ivan look anxious almost immediately when he step in Dr. Khoo's room. Still got the phobia.

Reanne does has the characteristic of the mother whom possess immerse inner strength. I witnessed it again and again at mummy life especially when she delivered both Ivan and Reanne at the labour room. She hardly complaint of the labour pain. Even the midwife commented her 'strength'.

Well, Reanne 3rd dos will be scheduled on Aug 2008.

Full Moon

Congratulations to both Joshua and Mary-Janice for their first born son Janson who is just turning one month old on 1 June 2008!

Pretty soon, Ivan will have a new additional (boy) friend to play with.

Buckle Up

Yes, lets get buckle up for those who are rear passengers.

The ruling came into force 1st June 2008 making it mandatory for rear seat passengers to wear seat belts. However, no summons for the offence will be issued until the end of August. The ruling is only effective for cars registered after January 1995. Owners of cars without rear seat belts have three years to get them installed.

However, there are exceptions for Perodua Kenari and Kancil, which were rolled out between 1998 and 2004, because they do not have anchorage points and so cannot have rear seat belts retrofitted.

I am now trying to figure out how to buckle Reanne. Hmmm...... I guess she is too minor to be fined.
