The past 2 weeks have been quite tiring. Dylan was suffering from a really bad cough and could not sleep at night. Soon after he got better, Rachel was down with fever. Just when I was joking with my colleagues that things were going back to "normal operation", Dylan's temperature went up again and he had diarhoeaa. We are that he must be allergic to the ginseng powder which I used to make ginseng chicken soup. And Rachel's dry cough got worse especially after Daddy ordered a large glass of orange juice with no ice at ichiban sushi for her. Her temperature went up to 37.8 in the middle of the night with a really bad cough.
We need to get an outdoor life.. Less shopping malls, more parks, less TV, more outdoor activities!!

Hubby's language of love
My hubby is a strange creature. He does not tell me that he loves me when I am working, reading, watching tv, feeding his son, reading a book to his daughter. He looks especially happy and indicates his affection for me only when I am doing housework, cleaning, sweeping, cooking, washing and tidying up the house. From the book, the language of love, there are six types of love languages.
I feel very loved when hubby brings me to go pak tor, for movies, nice meals (instead of lamenting how expensive the meals cost - he will order the cheapest item on the menu, making me feel guilty that I am squandering all the money away!). An occasional gift of handbag or wallet or diamonds will be nice (get the hint daddy!). Just as hubby feels very loved when I contribute to the household chores.
That's why we cannot get a maid, otherwise he will fall for the maid in no time.

Another milestone in toilet training
Rachel has been able to indicate her desire to wee wee in the middle of the night and nap for two consecutive times. Think this is indeed worth a small celebration. :) Hope she'll be 100% diaper free soon.
Trapped in Lift
After our "late" night shopping at Jurong Point yesterday evening, we were extremely eagar to get home immediately as it is way past Dylan and Rachels' feed time and bed time.
We entered the lift at around 10.20 pm. Within two seconds, we felt a jerk as the lift came to an abrupt stop from the initial acceleration. We were trapped in the lift with another couple with a small boy about the age of Rachel, together with our NTUC trolley and stroller.
The little boy began to cry but his mother was calm and cheerful and assured him that rescue is on the way. She pressed the bell to request for immediate help.
In the first 10 minutes, everyone including Dylan were comfortable but it soon got a little hot. I noticed that Dylan was starting to perspire and he began to fuss. I can't blame him as it is one hour past his bedtime.
We were lucky to have a cheerful lady together to liven up the atmosphere. She seems more concerned buying 4D than to be concerned about being trapped in the lift. They also noticed that Rachel had a spiral at her forehead similar to her son. Coincidentally, they had the same birthdates as well on the 10/6/2006. What are the chances of being trapped in the lift with someone born on the same day with this unique "spiral" on the forehead?
Maybe it is God's way of telling me that it is time to buy 4D? What shall I buy? Their birthdates?
Ps: Rachel, I am blogging this entry so that in case this little becomes your boyfriend in the future, you would know that you have met him in Jurong Point lift when you were 3 years old.
