You know it’s gonna be a tough day when you start the day falling out of bed.
So I was woken up by Caden crying next to my bed this morning. I look over and the wifey is not there…hmm.. probably in the loo. So I scramble to put in his pacifier before he wakes up fully (which I can tell from the rising screams).
Since his bed/rocker/dunno how you describe it thingy is next to my bed, the nearest exit happens to be the foot of the bed; which I head for; and step on the edge of the (platform) bed; and somehow slip; and land on my ass.
As predicted, it was a lousy start to a lousy bug filled day.

Seriously, how can a 2+ week old baby poop hard enough to clear the changing table all the way onto our bed?
Changing your bedsheets at 3am is definately not my idea of a good time.

Is that normal ffor a 6 day old baby? Hmmm….

Had our first follow up visit to the doctor today (yes, I can’t remember how to spell) and baby has been given the all clear. Just a little yellow, nothing a bit of sun won’t fix.
On a related note, this doctor could prove quite expensive. He was extolling the virtues of the F30 to me (which he had just bought) .

And ahead of schedule I might add
Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes and gifts from all you folks out there.

… looks like I’ll be out of the office by wednesday. Earlier then expected.

While trying to wake Cordelia up in the morning, her granny told her the school is going to be closed because she refused to wake up.
Her response.
“Not my fault. The pillow make my eye eye cannot open.”

With the impending arrival of baby number 2, we finally caved in and got ourselves a live in maid. We picked her up on Friday and I went out Sat to have dinner with my in-laws. Coming home, I realised my mum had asked the new maid to tidy up my room. What I could not understand was why my surround speakers were all facing the wall. Turns out the maid was dusting and didn’t know which side the sound came out of so she placed it back facing the wall. Doesn’t help that I don’t understand what shes saying and she doesn’t understand me either. Good thing both my folks speak malay (somewhat).
Odd event number 2. We were playing with Cordelia at night when we (thats me and my wife) started feeling sleepy, so we told her to play by herself while we rested. Not 5 minutes later, we heard some loud shuffling, followed by some angry talking, followed by Cordelia crying and scolding “The box so naughty one!”. After some investigation and pacifying, turns out she was playing with the box the laptop came in and she couldn’t put it all back together. She then apparently staretd to have a 1-sided quarrel with the box and lost .

Somewhere along the streets of Singapore today, I was driving along when my daughter very excitedly told us (thats me and my wife) to “See See. The car standing up!”
Since I was driving I couldn’t see what she was pointing at but after a while, my wife finally saw it and she was pointing at…

A car being towed by a tow truck with the front 2 wheels in the air. Hence “The car is standing up”.

Cordelia sleeping on the bus on the way to Genting Highlands.
We had to wake up at 5-ish in the morning to catch the 7am bus at beach road.

Good thing the bus (Grassland) seats are roomy, plush and come with inclined seatbacks and foot rests. Definately beats economy seats on airlines.
