Over the weekend, we were over at my sister's new place with the kids. Though not fully furnished and ready, we did have our first simple lunch there.
Other than the accessibility, I would say the flat is really spacious! How I would my Senja project has 5room when we applied and how I wished our flat is as spacious!
Back at home, I keep looking at what are the enhancements I can make to my house, so I found a few, like installing hooks and bars here and there. Still have not got down to buying it. Will go down to NTUC some time soon!
Then we also saw dad DIY-ing some shelves for sister and I said I wanted it! so Dad will be coming back to help me fix it.
Dad, Mom & sister came over the next day to my place to help me fix the dinning room light and the fans. The lights are fixed. We also tighten the string to let it hang higher from the ground, so when the fan is on, it would swing~
The fan problem still there because it cannot be fixed in anyway. But dad helped us clean out all the fans. Seriously very 感激 to have their help and them over.
sigh~ the woes of having a helper who is soon to go back... the job is always done half past the mark... oh well, I am closing one eye.
The hubby and I discussed about it, we are still going to hire a helper but I am not actively looking at it.. we did enquire with the agent my mil recommended but she is not so responsive. while I'm not pro-active, she is worst.... can just ignore our watsapp messages even when she read it. :x
I will just cross my fingers and hope to get some good news from her soon! :)

away from work.. for the longest time.
Ethan fell sick last week and he spent the week at home before confirming that he had some bronchitis. Feeling worried over his recurring high fever and complains of breatheless-ness, we decided to send him to the hospital. Turns out he nursed himself well during that 2 days of hospitalisation.
After fetching him and sending him to my mom's place, I fell sick. Feeling worried it's the same illness/I caught the bug from Ethan, I saw a doctor quickly. The medicine prescribed by the company doctor's didn't really work. I was still having fever the next day so I went to another non-affliated clinic. The meds and consultation cost me 142$! (I almost fainted on the spot!) But the good thing is, the throat pain has lessen. Still, the fever didn't go away.
Was contemplating if I should return to the doctor or go to the hospital... and eventually I returned to the clinic.
The doctor gave me a jab and additional medicine to kill the very very strong bacteria infection (he says) I have... and he said he was going to waive my consultation fees. We thought it's not going to be expensive and end up... this trip cost me another 124$.
I know fully understand the saying... "man, can die but cannot sick".
Anyway, I am a little broke these few months. And I know June is even a worst month, with celebrations and birthdays all coming up.

Really thankful to mommy for taking care of Ethan when I fell sick for the whole week and helping to send him back to school when I couldn't drive far due to the fever.
Love you. :)

updates on my kids~
We had a happy weekend celebrating Mother's Day with both sets of mothers separately, with mine on the Saturday that just passed and hubby's mom and ah ma the following Sunday.
It is an achievement for Kaelyn I must say. She weaned off her pacifier cold turkey!
Before that, she is very sticky to her pacifier. She will take her pacifier almost every time at home, after her meals... of course, the pacifier was kept away when she is in school except for her nap time.
But somehow I got very worried, since her brother weaned off pacifier at 18months+ and she is like coming to 21months already and she is just so sticky to it, so when she was 19months plus, I would make casual remarks like this to her: "kor kor 18months+ never eat pacifier liao, you already 19/20months+, cannot eat pacifier liao..."
Few days ago, I told my helper to keep the pacifier away from her unless she asks for it and told her that mommy is going to throw away the pacifier. And I repeat this to her everyday. Then until yesterday, his daddy said, kaelyn, go throw away your pacifier. Before she threw it into the bin, I secretly made sure I have an extra and making sure that she understood what it means.. like throwing away means no more...
She did acknowledge that throwing away means no more. She still asks for it yesterday night and tonight but once you remind her that she had threw it away, she is fine.
Another 3 days to 21 months. Kaelyn just weaned off her pacifier cold turkey. 2 nights without pacifier. I am so proud of her! 说戒就戒。:)
Side track; was trying to feed E medicine and he fussed a bit.. Mei mei who was co-sleeping in the same room, in her dreams said: kor kor cry, kor kor cry. 平时会照顾哥哥喝水，但也会欺负哥哥的小可爱；睡梦中还是这么alert,听到kor kor...

Mother's Day art work from E.
Today, I received my first ever Mother's Day art work from E.
He did it in school and brought it home today.
One might wonder, he has been in school since he was 18months old, and why is this the first time?
Because previously, during the mother's day period, E would fall sick! So he never got to attend school or manage to do the art work in school. :x
For this Mother's Day, the handicraft he did, is a bouquet of flowers with a personalized card.
This is my first Mother's Day pressie which Ethan made in school!
I am expecting more from E and K. Both my sweethearts! :)

the mother's day weekend.
Just to update and picking up from where I left off...
Finally got the time to pack the kids room and a little of the store room and kitchen service balcony. Given/returned all the stuff to my sister.
And so, I decided to revamp the rooms; moving Kaelyn to sleep with Ethan.
When I first moved in, I got my 14years old single wooden frame bed with me. It was originally intended for any guests staying over. But turns out now, we have the bed for Ethan.
Shortly before I gave birth to Kaelyn, hubby has gotten a super single bed for Ethan. But now, moving Kaelyn and helper into Ethan's room would mean that Ethan has to take the single bed and let Kaelyn and helper take the super single bed.
Due to space constraint I initially positioned the beds in the position such that one of the beds faces the door entrance. Honestly I don't feel good about it, so on a Sunday morning, just before my facial session, I quietly shifted the beds. Though the walkway spaces are smaller now, I feel better as the kids no need to sleep facing the doors. :)
As for Kaelyn's room, we made it into a play room so all the toys are placed there. Actually not all cos there is simply too much!
---
This week has been a little draining because of the work site visits. I have got so little time to plan for the upcoming Mother's Day gathering with my family. Luckily, most things are confirmed and fixed already. Hopefully everyone enjoys the yacht gathering!
Will also be celebrating Mother's Day with my mother-in-law this Sunday. Hope she likes the surprise hubby did for her.
As for me, I have got my Mother's Day 'pressie' from the hubby. A little episode for the first 'pressie' and I have got another surprise from him last night. Thank you hubby! :)

May Day
It's been a long time that we had such a family day!
We started the day with bringing Ethan to Amazonia at Great World City, along with another couple friends with their kids.
The kids had fun while the adults relaxed and enjoy our lunch.
After the play hours, which is about 4plus, we shopped around GWC. Coincidentally I chanced upon the Mayer's showroom and saw the grill pan for their air fryer! *okay, I think I have not blogged about the addition of air fryer into our kitchen*
And guess the luck I have... they had launched the sale of the grill pan that day! So without hesitation, I went in and got the grill pan!
In the evening after sending Ethan to my mom's, we went over to my in-laws' and celebrated birthdays of hubby's aunts. and of course, during gatherings like this, we MJed too! :)
Backtrack abit; I bought the air fryer from Mayer back in February, before the CNY. I guess I was too busy and forgot about it.
To date, we have used the air fryer to fried, grill and simple bakes.
Also back in Feb/Mar, I bought air pressure cooker from OG, hoping to cooking soup with it, in case we are helper-less and I need to prepare dinner. Honestly I don't mind waking a little earlier to prepare all these... just hopefully I don't get "hiam" for the lousy dinner... cos I know my 'cooking' skills...
