Eventful day

By -
Lately Wifey's tummy has ballooned alot! Although some aunties and neighbour keep commenting that the tummy is very small for 7 months, Wifey is not really worried and is actually quite happy as Caitlyne is a healthy weight of 1050gm and Dr Adrian says its of average weight and size. Good enuf for Wifey and having a smaller tummy is better cos Wifey is not carrying so much extra weight too. hee

Today poor hubby is suffering from bad backache due to carrying alot of heavy shopping such as wine for the confinement, baby Caitlyne's heavy cupboard and so on so he's on MC to rest. But alot of errands were ran today from morning Hubby and Wifey went to clinic at 830am and had to wait for 1hr 30min for Hubby's turn, so they proceeded to breakfast and met Hubby's mum to go supermarket to buy Black Vinegar to be used for the pig trotters or sth during confinement period. Then Hubby went back to clinic to see Doc and get MC and they proceeded home. One hour later they're out again to run more errands and collect some stuff Wifey bought from singaporemotherhood online bulk purchases.

Then at 1pm Hubby accompanied Wifey for her first waxing session done at a person's home next to Bukit Panjang Plaza. It was from friends recommendations and also online research that Wifey decided it'll be more hygenic to be "hairless" during the labour and also post delivery where the lochia will be extremely heavy flow. Usually the hospital will shave you when proceeding to delivery suite, but according to some, the hair regrowth is prickly and itchy, and cause alot of discomfort with the painful stitches. Being "botak" also prevent germs n infections and also less ordour. Wifey was afraid to try waxing for the 1st time near due date in case of any problems, that's why Wifey made appt for now, (week 28) and she'll go again Week 37 before Caitlyne is born. The experience was very good and thumbs up for the home-based therapist who made it very professional and minimise the pain level, also the rates were cheaper than shops based services.

Next at 2pm Wifey, Hubby and Hubby's Mom went to an infant care near their home to take a look at the facilities. They have decided to send Caitlyne to infant care after she's 3months old and when Wifey returns to work. Everyone in the family is working on Mon and Tues so Caitlyne will have to be there for 2 days a week. It costs $450 and luckily with MCYS and some Govt Working Mum Childcare Subsidy, the fees will only be about $280. Its still a big sum to pay but luckily its not the original fee!

Here are some random photos Hubby took:

Jiak Tok

This entry is almost forgotten, hence posting it right now. Jiak Tok is one of the common practice for most Chinese, especially to deity or during hungry ghost month. What is the main purpose for it? Basically, raise fund. Currently, the temple The Ongies often go, is still new and undergoing some renovations, that's where the devotees will come and chip in. Back then, Cait was just few months old when she first attend to such occasion. Now, Clar turn. During the period of bidding and consuming of food, both princesses are quite cooperative and did not fuss a lot until later on. Partly due to heat and noise. But it is a good experience for them. Bidding in progress Food and drink on the table She love clapping Happy wifey and Cait Food

Praying to Tai Sui

It's the period of praying to Tai Sui now during Chinese New Year. Almost all Chinese will head up to temple to get blessing from Tai Sui . For those zodiac sign that crash with the year of Tai Sui must pray for smooth year. Every year, there will be 4 zodiac signs that crash with Year of Tai Sui . Chong is worse than Fan.  It is better to pray to Tai Sui every year; at least you get bless. When praying to Tai Sui , you must not forget to return thanks back before end of year; which is before Christmas Day,  after Dong Zhi . Cait and Clar will get bless as well, same goes to rest of the family. The usual place they often went is at Paya Lebar, Gu Cai Ba Temple (Sheng Hong Gong). You can go and pray after registering yourself; pray to the main altar, then to the 60 Tai Sui before queuing up for the toaist priest to chant. It will be a long queue if you go early or noon. The best time will be early evening around 5pm. There's almost no queuing up at all. Things wi...
