Oct 10

Oct 1st week, Guobin went Germany for working trip. I took the whole wk leave as I didn’t want to be caught in the morning working rush after walking 30 mins to MIL place to drop off Xuan. Bside, I still have some leave left to clear, might as well use it to cmpy Xuan. My aim for the week is to potty train Xuan during the day time. Sadly, I didn’t achieve the target…..

But during this wk, was really tired from taking care of her alone for 24/7… Daily routine would be:/
0800 - 0830 – Wake up Xuan to change out of diaper, drink milk. Cooked rice for lunch n dinner
0830 - 1130 – Watch shows with Xuan. Stealing naps in between while she is playing with her toys n watchin TV.
1130 - 1200 – Cook lunch for both Xuan n myself.
1200 - 1230 – MSN with Guobing
1230 - 1330 – Feed Xuan
1330 - 1400 – Watch TV or playing in her room (depending on her mood)
1400 - 1430 – Bath Xuan.
1430 - 1700 – Xuan Napping time. Do some cleaning up. Then follow Xuan to her Zzzz land…
1700 - 1800 – Prepare Dinner and feed Xuan her dinner
1800 – 1815 – Cleaning up
1815 – 1930 – Bring Xuan to playground
1930 – 2030 – Back home to watch shows or playing in her room
2030 – 2045 – Milk time
2045 – 2100 – Bath Xuan
2100 – 2115 – Put Xuan to sleep.

Of cos, in between, hourly to bring Xuan to toilet. N to clean up when she pee on the sofa or “all around” the house…..

Some shots taken During the wk.




Originally, tot of bringing Xuan out to jalan jalan while I home for the week. But the pregnancy really makes me too tired. Just the daily routine is already making me long for my bed in the night….. But I finally brought her out on Fri. Tampines Library in the morning.


Noon time at Tampines 1 for lunch n settling down to MSM with Guobing. After lunch, we enjoyed a cup of McFlurry while walking around at the interchange to find a digital portable clock for Guobin. Xuan finally fall asleep in her stroller while we walked towards Tampines mall. When she was napping, I took the opportunity to find a suitable children toilet seat (tat can be affixed on adult seats). Cos if she is awake, I be definitely be too busy to look out that she does not break any stuffs.

Playing @ BHG in Century Sq with other shoppers' kiddos...



Finally found a suitable one with the budget n design I was looking for in Kiddy Palace. Since walking for the whole morning n afternoon, was also very tired, so sat down to rest while waiting for Xuan to wake up.

Met up with my frens for dinner soon after she wakes up…

When Guobin return from his trip, was really glad that I can shift half of her tantrums n stickness to him.... =p

While browsing thru newspaper, saw the advertisement for iLights @ Marina Bay. Looks interesting. So brought Xuan to c the lights. V tiring for both of us... but v interesting for Xuan.. she was so happy during the trip that even though she alrdy look obviously exhausted, she refuse to sit in her stroller n rest/nap/sleep.. instead she keep running/walking abt to touch here n there... In the end, Guobin have to scold her til she cry badly for her to sit in her stroller while we continue to make our way back to Central (where we park our car)...
