16W3D [Hot/ Shower]

Dating baby with Ming and Bo Bo.  Dr. Yau yelled like “Wah, it’s so obvious that the baby’s a boy!” on seeing a particular screenshot!  Bo Bo’s going to have a brother, though he kept asking where’s his sister then *.*

第一次進戲院 [雨]

今天是寶寶第一次進戲院看電影，是多啦A夢的《大雄的秘密道具博物館》。戲票是用蘇海明得來的，但我們卻不能陪伴寶寶第一次進戲院 =( 婆婆出動了!

Last day @ TK

Last day of Bo Bo in school @ TK.  He’s in super good mood – especially that he’s yelling daily for not going to school since mid July.

 

Unexpected presents from class-mistress and some teachers as well as classmates.  Thought Bo Bo didn’t really understand the meaning of last day, but he had a happy day.  His longest summer holiday ever started!

讓座 [雨]

本年度乘搭地鐵第一次有人讓座 … 莫非第二胎真的比第一胎快見肚?

Orientation Day [Hot/ Rainy]

Parents’ orientation day at Bo Bo’s new school.  Everything seemed to be prepared but still not feeling true.  Just pending for Bo Bo to come here and actualize everything in Sep.

Bad mood with itching back [Rainy]

Weather was bad the last couples of days, so as the mood of Bo Bo and his back!  He’s coughing with fever again so visiting Dr. Pang … apparently he caught a flu =(

Eason’s concert [Hot]

當世事再沒完美 可遠在歲月如歌中找你

 

Ball Ball’s b-day party

Went to Citiplaza for the Lego exhibition and then joined Ball Ball’s b-day party @ his new home at TKS.  Stayed from afternoon to night and Bo Bo didn’t take a nap at all after his 10-mins quick nap when we had food at Citiplaza! 

Gary helped to take the family pic for us – a family of 4 with little baby hiding in mama’s tummy =P

 

Heat rash [Cloudy/ Shower]

Brought Bo Bo to his pediatrician whom we haven’t visited for a quite a while.  Just felt that that maybe it’s better to switch back to western practitioner when it came to skin problem. 

Dr. Wan diagnosed that Bo Bo’s suffered from inflammation of Miliaria/ heat rash.  Need to apply the prescribed cream 3 times daily to reduce the symptoms and kept Bo Bo’s back as dry as possible … that’s not an easy task in the hot summer especially that Bo Bo’s sweating loads!

School [Shower]

Bo Bo yelled that he didn’t want to go to school since late last week.  Very curious to know whether there’s anything happened in school?

New toy on beach [Hot]

Beach again, with the new toy this time!

 

Day Creche application [Rainy]

Submitted the Day Creche application form for baby @ TK … hope that baby will get a place!

Response [Rainy]

Bo Bo’s class-mistress rang again in the evening, confirming that Bo Bo could return to school without any additional supporting that the teacher asked for yesterday morning. 

 

Does that mean complaints work in waiving some so-called “requirements”, or the teacher was making up excuses and story yesterday? 

Teacher [Rainy]

Most red spots disappeared this morning therefore I was intending to send Bo Bo back to school.  However, the teacher who was responsible to taking attendance rejected Bo Bo – not in a good tone and started to link to ridiculous request which annoyed me. 

 

Bo Bo’s class-mistress rang in the evening and I complained about the teacher.  I’ve never been so annoyed in the past 2 years which I needed to complain on teacher.  Bo Bo’s class-mistress was astonished and promised to follow up.

Confirmed Roseola [Cloudy]

Visited GP downstairs @ Quality Health and confirmed Bo Bo had Rosela – what a relief!

美儀 B [熱/ 大雨]

和班長及vy 姐到養和去探美儀兩天大的bb。

 

新任爸爸很興奮、很緊張，新任媽媽冷靜BB努力地睜大眼睛四處看，眼仔碌碌。我發現近年來探的 BB ，都是對周圍事物很有興趣的，只有寶寶當年常常合上眼睛睡覺 … 難道天生就是懶惰寶寶 *.*

18/F Flat C

Went to the Hong Kong City Hall Theatre to watch “18/F Flat C”, the famous 45 years-old programme on radio which the production team moved to theatre.  Just amazing how a programme could run for 45 years and still continuing?!

 

Roseola? [Hot]

Fever went away finally!  Small red spots started to appear on Bo Bo’s body … looked like Bo Bo’s having Roseola rather than HFMD?

Fever continued [Hot]

Bo Bo’s fever persisted.  Dr. Pang, the Chinese herbalist in the same clinic as Dr. Tin whom we started to visit after Dr. Tin temporary departure, diagnosed that Bo Bo case might not be HFMD as his throat’s reddened and swollen.  Fingers crossed.

Bo Bo looked tired and weak and slept all day …………

Fever

There’re 2 cases of Hand, Foot & Month Diseases reported in Bo Bo’s school this week, one of which was from Bo Bo’s class.  Bo Bo started to have fever tonight so it’s a bit worrying … =(

News [Hot]

Apparently Bo Bo has been kept talking about he’s going to have a sibling in school though he didn’t know it’d be a younger brother or sister.  He repeated that so frequently that the class-mistress had to verify the news with my mom who knew nothing *_*

Watch

We went to Spain for a 10-day trip when Bo Bo was 7 months old.  As part of the compensation, we bought a Star-War mix Lego watch on Qatar airway flying shop, imagining that Bo Bo would grow up soon and need that cutie fancy watch.

 

We passed this watch to Bo Bo this evening finally.  Seems that he’s very keen to explore what’s it and what’s it for =) ~

 

Sai Kung [Hot]

Yam-cha with in-laws at Ma On Shan, then catching a bus to Sai Kung.  Good weather and Bo Bo was in energetic mode. 

 

Didn’t stay long as Bo Bo had his last swimming class @ YMCA for this season.  We’re not able to enroll him to Q3 classes … what a shame!

束手就擒 [熱]

爸爸, 你束手就擒嘞, 哈哈哈 ...

 

Sofa [Hot]

Bo Bo loves to squeeze with me in sofa lately …

Cooking Bo Bo [ok]

Date for pre-natal check-up checkup again.  Dr. Yau confirmed appealing progress of baby’s development.  Will have OSCAR done in QE 2 weeks later and see baby again in early Aug *,*

 

Visited Kowloon City Market as usual after our Sat visit to STH for ingredients of our dinner – we decided to have soup + vege + fish for tonight!

 

Started cooking and Bo Bo yelled that he’s joining … ok let’s start his cooking at the simplest thing – put all ingredients to water for preparing the soup!  Haha ~

 

 

 

Drink party [Rainy]

Kids’ gathering at Kowloon Park after yam-cha at Jordan.  All kids liked drinking most apparently!

F&F confirmation [Rainy]

Went to Palace Garden at 10am to do F&Ftaking and confirmation.  This’s the 3^rd time we visited the flat and the good feeling retained.

 

The current owner told us a lot on design and materials, some of which actually surprised us.  If we’re the one doing the construction and deco ourselves we’d definitely miss out all those details =P

Deal done [Rainy]

The agent has been in frequent contacts with Ming for the last couples of days, upto a level that Ming felt like being bombarded if not hassled =P

 

Contract signed tonight after Ming attended his departmental dinner – which was like 23.00-ish!  Being a property agent could be harsh sometimes.  The agent finally got the price 400k+ down and I didn’t know how much talk-work he has done to get to that. Plus after these he had to wait boringly in a rainy night for his dear customer to sign the contract … Jesus Christ!

Hong Kong Heritage Museum [Cloudy]

Public holiday for Dragon Boat Festival.  Instead of watching Dragon Boat match we visited the Hong Kong Heritage Museum.

Not to argue whether what’re on show in the Museum really relevant to “heritage”, nobody could deny it’s a good place for kids.  Bo Bo enjoyed his stay from the moment he stepped into the Museum.  He was so involved that he skipped his lunch and nap time.

When we finally left the Museum for “afternoon tea” in a Vietnamese restaurant at Shatin Town Plaza, Bo Bo couldn’t stand any further and fell asleep … all the way until we arrived home! 

He seemed to recall suddenly that he hasn’t taken much food for the whole afternoon, therefore quickly grab a mini-rice dumpling (home-made by my mom especially for Bo Bo!) to feed his little tummy =)

 

Dr Tin [Hot]

Dr Tin, Bo Bo’s Chinese herbalist, rang us last Sat when we’re on the way to the beach notifying about her plan to go for a 1-year secondment to China.  We thought we won’t be seeing her again before her trip but Bo Bo was off sick suddenly, so we’re visiting today on her last day in the HK clinic.

 

She has been the Chinese herbalist for Bo Bo since July 2011.  She knew Bo Bo in person and I often called her for medical advice even though sometimes we’re not visiting her clinic.  Bo Bo knew her well also.  Wishing her all the best and see her a year later on her return!

House-viewing round 2 [Hot]

The agent persuaded that we can do a 2^nd house-viewing in case we’re interested in the flat but concerned only about the price.  As such, we’re doing the 2^nd house-viewing this evening after work!

 

Worked from Central office today so that I could meet up with Ming and head to Mongkok together by MTR.  Got changed to bus and arrived at Palace Garden by 7.45pm. 

 

Ming’s still very interested in the flat on 2^nd viewing.  I still held the strong stand that it’s overpriced.  He talked with the agent for quite a while before we left for our dinner at around 9pm at Kowloon City. 

 

Let’s see how it’ll go!

當寶寶遇上鴨 ...

母子裝

With our dear woodstocks!

 

House-viewing [Rainy]

House-viewing @ Palace Garden.  Agent was saying that it’s the best ever unit he has dealt with in the recent months.  It proved to be true – at least it’s the best one we’ve viewed for the past 8 months.  Ming was very interested in the flat mainly due to the set up and deco.  The quote was too high though – HKD9.88m was really a bit off.  Let’s see.

Beach [Hot & Sunny]

On beach again … Bo Bo got addicted to sunshine, sand and sea!

Had dinner at Kwun Tong APM.  The golden phrase from Bo Bo tonight:

"呢個燶左，媽媽你食啦"... -_-"

 

 

Heartbeat 7W2D [Sunny]

Finished the H2 plan and submitted to the UK by 5pm, then left office right away as the usual Friday early off.  Scheduled to have Korean dinner with Joan’s couples, Vincent, Isabel and Ming @ 7.30pm.  Knowing about the long queue for walk-in O&B patients on Sat, I’ve decided to visite Dr Yau @ STH before the dinner ... the only trade-off was that Ming won’t be able to join as he’s still struggling in office *_*

First pre-natal check-up again – 50:50 chance.  It’s a big relief when Dr. Yau pointed at the little pumping organ flashing on the screen – heartbeat on 7W2D, the exact fetal age when we first met Bo Bo with heart’s beating as well. 

Dr. Yau recommended another check-up at around 10W to confirm progress.  Hello baby, I’ll see you then with papa.

Withdrawal [Hot]

Submitted the withdrawal letter to TK for Bo Bo today – his school life with TK will end on 31 July 2013!

Again [Sunny]

《無與倫比的美麗》 ［驟雨］

寶寶只顧看蘇打綠演唱會 DVD 不去睡覺 -_-"

機票 [回暖]

今天再登入航空公司的網頁，蘇黎世回程到香港的機票已經漲價了，兩大一小合共貴了二千多港元! 

忽然為自己昨天上網購買了機票的行為感到沾沾自喜 =P

 

Summer trip [Cool]

今晚買了八月中香港直航瑞士的機票，我們要和寶寶勇闖歐洲，YEAH ~

My thought [Cool]

James asks what do I want to be, am I targeting to be SAM, AP or Country Head of Audit HK. 

 

Well, I just want to get paid without having too much work to do =P

脫臼 [熱/ 晴]

帶寶寶去行山。

到了柏架山山頂的郊野公園，寶寶說要玩滑梯，意外就發生了 --- 寶寶從約1.5米高的滑梯上墮地，整個左邊身著地，滿是沙 ~>_<~

寶寶大哭，手腳亂舞，唯獨是左手不動，就很痛。我們立即下山到東區醫院的急症室去。醫生把寶寶的左手轉來轉去，寶寶在哭；跟著醫生說可以到大堂等半小時看情況再決定，寶寶就不哭了，還和「醫生哥哥」就 bye bye ...

半小時後，醫生再檢查，確定寶寶是左手手肘脫臼，之前轉來轉去已經托接回原位，沒事了!

這次對寶寶來說真是不幸中的大幸 --- 手肘脫臼當然不好，但已經是最「輕微」的傷勢；若果是頭先著地，那就真的不敢想像了 ...

感謝天主!

A day to be remembered [Cloudy]

那一年，我還在羅先生公司當一個小小的稽核員，難得名錶 R 客戶的辦公室在中環，我差不多每天在客戶辦公室關閉後走回公司去。

那一天，六時多七時，如常從怡和大廈走行人隧道、在文華酒店旁出口走班馬線回太子大廈。抵達公司，還未把電腦接駁好，同事就傳出張國榮在文華酒店跳樓的消息。就在那一瞬間。

請安息。 10 years, miss you much Leslie.

Home sweet home [Warm]

Back home with my boys finally! Bo Bo was so excited when the taxi carrying me arrived at the Block K taxi stand, he kept shouting mama with smile =) Once my big big pink luggage was out on the road, his attention switched 100% to it though and couldn’t wait to move it using his little arms up the slope and back home -_-”

Fever Bo Bo [Cloudy]

Bo Bo started to have fever ... What’s worse than mother not being around when the kid falls sick =(

Flying [Cloudy]

Alvis visited our home at noon and meeting Bo Bo in person for the first time. To Bo Bo he’s “Uncle Alvin” rather than Alvis =P Headed off to Kowloon station together with my big big pink luggage to complete the in-town check-in before Ming headed off for his hair-cut at 3pm and Alvis for his other gathering at 3.30pm. Went to YMCA to meet up with Ming again for Bo Bo’s swimming class as per part of our Sunday’s routine. Had dinner at TST and headed back to Kowloon station alone while my boys travelling back home.

It was such a long time ago when I had business trip, and this time to a place where I’ve never been to ... wish me good luck!

救世軍幼稚園 [陰]

油麻地的救世軍幼稚園打電話來，說寶寶被取錄了，下個星期三要交留位費。

我們替寶寶領了出世紙後就幫他報讀這家幼兒學校，心想如果寶寶能入讀這家貴族級質素、平民級價錢的學校就好了。之前去面試，寶寶表現了得，但依然要繼續排隊輪候，已經有心理準備和這學校沒有緣份了。本來六月會知道最後結果，現在突然提早三個月領到學位，反倒有點不知所操。

究竟要給寶寶留在原校，入讀這學校，抑或是等待另一家學校五、六月份的結果?

AA Chennai [Indifferent]

Extremely busy.

The fact that we have to run the event in the so-called “state of the art training centre” which does not even provide flipchart papers, colour printing and photocopying services, needs to seek extra levels of approval for black & white printing is a tale. We can make it happen definitely, but only if we can save the double efforts we have to put in elsewhere I’m sure it would be more worthwhile and productive.

Ok stop grumping and keep on working, before late night comes again ...

幻想中的火車 [晴]

寶寶已經到了平排兩張椅子會幻想自己在乘搭火車的階段，還會說鞋架附近是「官塘站」、餐桌附近是「街市站」。

難怪人們說小朋友成長的片段，錯過了就追不回來，因為真的飛逝得太快、快得捉不住。

我有時候會懷念起寶寶很小的時侯的模樣，那時的他像小天使，事事倚賴我們；不過我更期待將來陪伴他一起長大，看著他繪畫出自己的美麗人生。或許我老得連牙齒都甩掉之際會遺忘這些雞毛蒜皮的畫面，只希望到時我仍懂得上網到這裡來看看這些年寫下的東西回味一下 ... 若果屆時 blogger 依然運作的話 =P

窩心小情人 [涼快]

蘇海明上班去，我和寶寶留守在家。

吃完早餐奶的寶寶還有點眼睏，又不想回到自己的牀上去睡，於是我著他在大廳的玩具地墊上躺下，睡在他的小豬頭睡枕上，我亦在他旁邊躺下來。

睡在小豬頭枕的寶寶看了看我，然後忽然坐起來，再走到沙發去取了一個靠墊抱著回到玩具地墊。寶寶雙手把靠墊遞給我，說著：「給你的!」，看到我把靠墊作枕頭放在腦後，他又回到自己的小豬頭枕躺下來。我和我的小情人相視而睡，就這樣拍下這幅照片來。

簡單的一個動作、短短的一句，已經令人很窩心 *,*

恭喜恭喜 [冷]

又到農曆新年! [冷]

恭喜發財! 祝大家蛇年行好運，心想事成，身體健康 ~



今年新加入的節目，是黃昏到弟弟在順豐圍的家去吃 BBQ 晚餐。這可是寶寶第一次乘搭輕鐵和參加 BBQ =)

中文名字 [冷]

曾經參加一個幼兒講座，講者說在 BB 廿七個月大的時候父母可以開始用故事串連BB的中文名字，或者將其圖象化，那麼 BB 以後學習寫自己的名字會較容易。

今天突然想起這番話，於是就著廿七個半月大的寶寶來實驗一下。

起初以為要為寶寶的名字聯系到相關的事物祉圖象是很困難的事，但到真的要落實的時候又沒有預期中艱深 ... 想不到我的想像力仍不賴 =P

不知道寶寶聽明白了沒有，不過他好像不太抗拒，算是不錯了 ~

家長日 [冷]

寶寶讀嬰幼班的時候都有「家長日」，不過今次是 PN 班的，比較正式。

老師說寶寶比起其他小朋友有畫畫的天份：同學們還在圖鴉的時候，寶寶已經懂得在指定的範圍內填滿顏色；當老師叫小朋友聽著音樂畫下自己的感覺，只有寶寶能就著音樂沿紙張邊畫出不出長度的直線。

寶寶你喜歡繪畫嗎? 你想繼續和媽媽在家畫圖畫，抑或想爸爸媽媽待你大一點的時候送你到正式的畫班去學畫?

病 [冷]

這個星期我們仨都病了，三個都發燒和感冒，三個都有請病假!

今天早上我們一起去看田醫師，田醫師對蘇海明說：「你們一家煮白粥吃吧!」

結果我們晚餐真的煲了粥，不過是瑤柱免治豬肉節瓜百合粥 =P 蘇海明說很味美，吃了兩大湯碗! 寶寶吃了兩口給瑤柱黏著牙，忙不及要吐出來，跟著就說不吃了 -_- 兩位大少在吃方面都是要求高、難服侍 ...

持續發燒三天的寶寶在黃昏時份終於有退燒跡象，一退燒又變回活躍寶，弄這弄那，麻麻煩煩的；可我寧願他當活躍寶，總比做病入膏肓的呆滯寶好 *_*

K1 results [Cold/ Sunny]

大部份寶寶報考的 K1 都有結果了。有預料之內的，亦有意料之外的 ... 我覺得「運氣」的成份比實際表現來得明顯，尤其是寶寶是人家稱之為的「細B」一族。

Offer 這東西，有又煩、無又煩： Turn down 人家的 offer，那當初怎麼要花時間、心思去報名申請? 收到 rejection letter ，儘管預測到卻多多少少仍會有點心癢、不自然的感受。由於寶寶已經有一個「超級大後備」，所以對於 N 班及 K1 來說，吾之愚見是 「on waiting list」最好，有希望又不用立即作決定/ 付款，感覺上我沒有負於人 --- 阿Q 精神 =P

人揀我、我揀人。蘇海明有強烈的預感，兜兜轉轉，寶寶還是會回到本身就讀的學校繼續升班。究竟最終寶寶 K1 「程」歸何處? 還有三個未知之數，我想只有到第二個季度才會明朗化 *.*

名字 [冷]

早上，寶寶在我們的牀上被子間玩「捐山窿」，興奮極了。

我：寶寶你叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：蘇柏睿! 你叫咩嘢名?
我：媽媽叫陳慧娟。
寶寶：陳慧堅!
我：係陳慧娟!
寶寶：陳慧娟!
我：啱嘞! 爸爸叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：咩嘢名?
我：爸爸叫蘇海明。
寶寶：蘇海榮!
我：係蘇海明!
寶寶：蘇海明!
我：啱嘞!

然後寶寶繼續玩「捐山窿」。

* * *
晚上，蘇海明把我們購物的戰利品帶回家，寶寶和我去排隊換抽獎劵。打蛇餅，無聊之間，又和寶寶玩問答遊戲。

我：寶寶你叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：蘇柏睿!
我：媽媽叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：陳慧娟!
我：啱嘞! 爸爸叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：蘇海明!
我：啱嘞! 嘩，寶寶好叻喎，全部都記得晒!

然後寶寶瞇著雙眼笑。

* * *

返家替寶寶洗澡，把寶寶帶到他的睡牀去。為他蓋被之際，再問寶寶。

我：寶寶你叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：蘇柏睿!
我：媽媽叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：陳慧堅!
我：係陳慧娟! 爸爸叫咩嘢名?
寶寶：蘇海榮!
我：係蘇海明吖!

然後寶寶偷笑裝睡去 -_-”
