發燒總要在晚上 [熱]

寶寶晚餐食慾不振，然後突然發燒! 體溫在半小時間由38度颷升至39.6度，我們不由得給他服下第一次退燒藥。

體溫下降了一點，仍處於發燒狀態，但起碼有精神玩玩具。

三小時過後，藥力開始減退，寶寶又發燒至39度多，半睡半醒中咿咿呀呀地叫，有時在顫抖，加上他在出大牙，水在流，手指往嘴裡撩、撩、撩。時為午夜12時，我們決定給他再服退燒藥。不過這一次比上一次更困難，用針筒往他嘴裡餵藥都給寶寶噴出來，噴得我們一臉都是藥，我想 5ml 給他吐出 3ml 多來。

這一趟，體溫同樣是下降了一點，仍然發燒。至凌晨四時多，又回到39度多，於是我們給他服下第三次退燒藥。下一次藥力減退，就是早晨了。

羅乃萱 – 1分鐘爸媽

全長 48 分鐘，不過我覺得值得花時間聽。

豬寶照 [熱]

今天寶寶如常除掉衣服準備洗澡，卻反常地赤著身子在屋子裡狂奔。

於是，爸爸便用新買回來的相機，拍了幾張照片 *,*

當然，這些照片公開不了，只留待日後寶寶長大給他看自己小時候多頑皮 =P

報稅 [熱]

今天終於上網報稅了。

看了那初步評稅結果，快要暈倒 --- 怎麼又要交這麼多稅?! >_<

剪髮 [熱]

是日攝氏三十一度，仿如仲夏 ...

今天決定去剪頭髮。髮型師很努力地想打開話題，但其實我沒有多大心情搭訕，有一句沒一句希望他快點剪完。他是蠻有心機的，一邊說話、一邊用熱板替我慢慢把頭髮夾直，只是我沒有領情罷了。

剪髮後，到麵包店買明天早餐吃的麵包，然後到電訊商查問媽媽家寬頻和電話的安排，再去看寶寶尿片之折扣價格，可算是近日來非常 productive 的一天。

大學書店 [晴]

今天看大學寄來電郵的連結，說大學書店將於 6 月30 日結業。

真可惜嘅，沒有書店的大學好像缺少了甚麼似的。

伯伯 BU [晴]

上學途中，風和日麗，於是著寶寶仰頭看看藍天白雲。

寶寶看了，然後掙脫我們握著他的手，一邊跑一邊雙手指向天，口中叫著「伯伯 BU!」...

寶寶，究竟你是想找太陽伯伯還是 BU BU 雲? =P

抱抱 [晴/ 陰]

「抱抱」荷爾蒙 增加正能量
作者 - 劉廣潤

何解有人善良、有人乖張；有人慷慨、有人貪婪；有人信任、有人懷疑？始作俑者，原來是一種名為「催產素」（Oxytocin）的賀爾蒙作祟。

催產素是一種神經傳導物質，由下視丘之視旁核製造，經下視丘腦下垂體路徑神經纖維送到後葉分泌。女性生產時會大量釋放催產素，擴張子宮頸和收縮子宮，促進分娩。分娩後催產素也會刺激乳頭，增加分泌乳汁，更在餵哺母乳時湧入大腦，增進母親與嬰兒關係。但催產素用途非僅於此，研究人員發現它能影響性別吸引、社交互動、焦慮、信任、甚至性高潮等，且對改善部分精神或心理疾病有莫大幫助，如自閉症、社交恐懼症、成癮症等。

研究人員要求受測者參與「信任遊戲」，並利用功能性磁振造影術掃瞄他們的腦部狀況。結果發現催產素會抑制腦部兩個原本充當天然「防衛牆」之區域的活動。 第一個是杏仁核，即腦部處理恐懼與危險的部位；第二個是紋狀體，是腦部憑著過去回饋而指引未來行為的地帶。研究發現一些簡單親暱互動習慣，如親親抱抱，可令體內催產素濃度大增。因此，催產素已被確認可以降低個體的防衛心態與恐懼感受，提高對他人的信任，減少焦慮，促進社交關係發展；更喚起知足的心情，增加平靜的感覺和安全感，故被學界取名為「抱抱化學物質」。

仔細觀察，經常手牽手散步或喜歡依偎在對方身邊的夫婦，他們的人際關係、社交情形都比「相敬如冰」的夫妻好，也比較容易相信別人、對別人慷慨。「抱抱」也不限於兩性，父母子女、朋輩之間，若能不時有表達關愛、親密的小動作，長遠而言，不但有利穩固感情，更重要是緩解精神緊張，預防與壓力相關疾病的發生。

既然「抱抱」荷爾蒙可以產生如斯正能量，那麼聘請僱員、挑選配偶、認識朋友，是否須預先測試他們體內催產素含量，以防不歡而散？

Project completed! [Sunny]

Hurray! After uploading the last batch of 2005 entries, the whole series of Good Dreamer from 2002 are on blogger!

So glad that this mission impossible is finally completed after years *,*

And I just realized earlier this afternoon that I wrote something about speech delivered by Steve Jobs about “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.” on 15 Sep 2005 – I didn’t know that I was such a person of good insight since youth =P

車車 [大風]

寶寶最喜歡車車，去屙便便都要攞住 ...

星期日 [雨/晴]

整天都在睡。

黃昏，蘇海明帶寶寶到樓下去踏車車時，我仍然倒在牀上。

真難過。

MIB III [Sunny]

《MIB III》上畫，和蘇海明踢著拖街、一身街坊裝到樓下戲院去看早場。

那是早上十一時正的首場，怎麼會有這麼多人去看電影?! 他們的樣子都是應該要上班的，難道他們和我們一樣放假? 抑或是 ... 他們「逃工」?

Aqua tots [Sunny]

We kept thinking of applying swimming class for Bo Bo since he was 6 months old, but we always missed the application deadline for those classes offered by YMCA.

We made it finally --- we went to YMCA in person and applied Aqua tots class 19-35 months for Bo Bo =)

Classes will start from 15 July for 11 sessions on every Sunday 17.30 – 18.00. Ming will accompany Bo Bo to attend the class ... yeah ~ *,*

Fan [Sunny]

Buy another fan - no more fan moving around home =P

On leave [Sunny]

Still on leave this week.

Spent most of the time sleeping ... hea =P

Take-away order [Shower]

Ming went for wedding banquet while Bo Bo and I stayed at home with my parents.

Ordered take-away from sun-moon-star @ 18.40, which only arrived by 20.30 *_*

Maldives [Sunny]

Maldives ... We're coming!

Bo Bo ... don't miss us so much, ok?

The 1st homework

Bo Bo's first homework done together with Ming papa *,*

下水 [熱/ 雨]

寶寶今年第一次下水，在佐敦谷嬉水池。

寶寶小時候是不怕水的，放他下水處之泰然，還在享受啜他的招牌雙手指。現在大了反而怕水，是驚到震那一種，又要怕、又要玩 -_-" 爸爸決定要和寶寶特訓，天氣好的週末就帶他去游水，練膽量。

游了一小時，突然行雷下雨，於是離開了。一起到淘大的麥當奴吃早餐，寶寶搶了我的橙汁喝光了，還在奸笑 >_< 這就是他和我慶祝母親節的方法 =_=

Anniversary dinner @ Harlan’s [Rainy]

The 4th wedding anniversary.

Good dinner with ad-hoc rain show - by those who sat at the outdoor balcony and rushed back to covered part of the restaurant when rain came all of a sudden!

Super Tuesday [Hot]

Seminar @ Sheung Wan and then full day @ Central office.

Just happened that it's the 2nd Tue of the month – Super Tuesday again! Went for grocery shopping with Ming @ IFC City Super after work ... it has been a while since we did the Super Tuesday shopping the last time!

BM secondment [Hot]

今日是正式 BM secondment 的第一天，第一件被委派的任務就是準備 Global Head of Audit 本月尾 Asia visit 的 presentation 。

應該不太難，放假前就能完成 =)

膝蓋傷痕 [熱]

寶寶在樓下的公園追著小朋友跑、跑、跑 ... 然後不慎跌倒了 >_<

膝蓋留下一條傷痕，血在流他沒有哭，反而叫他不要再玩、回家洗傷口，他就哭鬧起來 *_*

Sport day & performance [Rainy]

寶寶上的學校今天進行運動日及親子活動日。

不知怎的，寶寶也被安排與全日 N 班的學生一同表演，做就了他人生第一次的 group performance ...

冤家路窄 [熱]

不是我的冤家，是 auditee 的冤家。

今天兩名 auditees 約我吃午飯，約了中午十二時。十二時零五分，auditee A 在公司的即時通訊系統 (像 MSN 的物體)告訴我 auditee M 仍被他們的上司 GC CFO 扣留中，釋放的時候再通知我吃飯。結果 auditees 十二時四十五分才被釋放，甫見面就吱吱喳喳說 GC CFO 的不是，直到我們走到酒樓去。坐下，auditees 又要開腔之際，忽然見到GC CFO 走進來坐在我們鄰桌 @_@

Auditees 心有不甘地「誠邀」 GC CFO 和我們同檯吃飯，然後整頓飯都是很悶地談論升學問題， GC CFO 還好心地提示我要為寶寶選好名校，做足準備工夫 ... well, it's not my cup of tea, why bother?

下午，auditees 對我說了十萬個對不起，信誓旦旦地說下次吃午飯一家要挑選一個見不到 GC CFO 的地方 -_-"

完結．開始 [熱/ 驟雨]

已經好久好久沒到這裡來。

還是老藉口 --- 工作忙嘛。這次是真的忙，因為被老細看上，在本來那個規模很小但很複雜的項目之外，再委派予秘密任務，連本來計畫了的 BM secondment 也要推遲，都不知是幸抑或是不幸 @_@

有多少年沒有在夜深/ 週末工作了? 這數個月下來，有幾個深夜和週末都在工作，讓我憶起以前在羅先生公司工作的日子。那是多少年前的事? 不打緊，當年青春無敵，現在老了，而且要和寶寶玩，都是在寶寶睡了以後才開工。不過老了的好處，就是可以「恃老賣老」，太眼睏不想工作的時侯，就索性不做了，第二天回公司會報 "I've assessed that, don't think it;s a possible option." =P

隨著四月的完結，有一個報告已經完成兼發出了，另一個嘛 ... 那個有「手尾」，但我的任務大抵也完成了，再幫忙也是義工性質。一切總算告一段落。

期待五月 ... 應該可以回歸舒服的日子 =P

Bo Bo @ Osaka [Cool]

Unusual Sat [Shower]

The life of working during weekend was so remote that I've forgotten when was the last time I did that.

Today, it's not only working on weekend – as I lost my secure token, I had to return to office indeed *_*

17.00-20.00. No more, 3 hours is more than enough.

Bo Bo fell asleep already when I arrived home, and he didn't wake up for his last meal of the day @ 22.00. He must be very tired and missed his mum so much - definitely certain for the 1st half of the statement, but question mark for the 2nd part ...

P&B [Shower]

Worst pay adjustment and bonus % ever.

The increment was so minimal that trigger my career review plan ... well, when I have time ...

Late [Not sure]

One of those few days when I arrived home later than Ming
Fat Bo was sleepy but waited for me to come back =(

Joan’s wedding [Cool]

Bo Bo's first church session in life ... he yelled or said something when the bride did the vow?!

Happy CNY [Cool]

豆腐 [冷]

寶寶今日新詞：「豆腐!」

媽媽很開心，對著寶寶說：「你舅父亦很喜歡吃豆腐! 哈哈哈!」 -_-"

一平安 [冷]

寶寶吃拉麵 @ 一平安

晚飯 [冷]

寶寶首次跌倒擦損手掌 =( 還算勇敢，沒大哭大鬧。

今晚我們和寶寶同桌一起共進晚餐，看寶寶多努力 *,*

Dinner with Isabel @ TT Party Party Restaurant [cold]

Was half an hour late for the dinner, as I was stuck by questions from new joiner in office and was not in time to pick up Bo Bo -_-"

Catching up with Isabel, Vienne, Oliver (for the 1st time!) and Vincent at the restaurant. Bo Bo was on spotlight definitely - he was well-behaved, good boy!

Talk [cold]

Attended a talk which overran to 10.20pm @_@

Luckily I was just in time to arrive home for feeding Bo Bo's last meal.

Dinner @ 11pm ... hungry ...

假期完結 [涼快]

假期的最後一天，明天要上班了 ... 為什麼假期總是這麼短暫 *_*

不過對於視上學為玩樂的寶寶，這沒有太大影響 --- 今晚他只嚷著要我們一起食梨仔。他得逞了，吃了一口，好好味，好嘢 =)

Happy New Year [Cool]

寶寶新年做的第一件事 --- 看香港最後一屆元旦日煙火表演。寶寶是眼睏極了，但因為有各大「姐姐」支持，怎樣也要堅持到最後一刻；一踏上的士啟程回家，他就睡得像隻豬 =)

午夜十二時半睡著，早上九時半醒來 --- 晚睡晚起，起牀也只因肚餓要喝奶，深得父母真傳 =P

黃昏又出動，到寶馬山去探望兩個多月大的 Davin BB 。Davin BB 要準時飲奶，所以寶寶也準時回家，回程途上還加映「暴走 MTR」 ... 哈哈 ~ 抵家晚上十時吃過「宵夜」，寶寶便抱頭大睡 - Happy 2012 ~

倒數

晚上要到莊性感的家倒數，舉家一起午睡預備今晚晚歸 --- 寶寶和蘇海明都睡了三小時，我為了準備寶寶的晚餐及我們的午餐，只睡了一個半小時 ... 不公平 >_<

我們訂了太多食物，吃不完 @_@ 懶惰地攤坐等待新年的一刻，順道看了《瘦身男女》的完整版。趁大家未疲倦，先來一副大合照 --- 看，寶寶在「明看」安安契妹 =P

2011 last school day [Sunny]

我們在德福戲院看完《Sherlock Holmes: A game of shadow》，到工廠區吃了個早餐，再到商場領回昨天買的袋，已經是中午十二時多，我們直接到學校接寶寶放學。

寶寶剛睡醒，看到外頭陽光好，到處跑，好不高興。

寶寶 2011 年最後一個上學天就這樣愉快地結束了。

星光花園

晚上到沙田去，打算一睹新城市廣場的「聖誕星光花園」。

蘇海明直接從公司到沙田，我和洗了澡、吃了晚餐的寶寶從媽媽家對面的巴士站出發。寶寶乘車前已經有點睏、打呵欠，上了巴士卻又匆匆依著窗戶看車車，睡意全消。寶寶還逗坐在後方的叔叔完，弄得人家差點把香橙形的巧克力送給他；這樣取人家的東西當然不好，立即著抓著「香橙」的寶寶把東西交還給叔叔。幸好寶寶心情佳，照著做又拍手掌 *.*

吃過晚餐去看星光花園表演，抵達才知道原來是要先取免費門劵的。門劵不難取，我們九時半領得九時四十分門票。表演只是數分鐘，基本上也不是特別吸引，再一次證明雜誌報導多是名過其實。不過這是寶寶第一次近距離看燈飾，也算是有紀念性嘞 =)

遲睡遲起 [晴]

一如所料，寶寶早上七時四十五才睡眼惺忪地起牀。早餐奶吃了一半，見到蘇海明吃麵包又嚷著要吃；探熱、穿衣、著鞋，弄了好一陣子。結果八時四十五分才抵達學校 @_@

幸好我今天放假能打點，蘇海明八時十五分就奪門而出上班去。要是換上平日，我們兩人就要遲大到了。

今晚要和寶寶訓話 -_-"

* * *

哎唷，怎麼聽起來像個嚕嚕叨叨的媽媽 @_@

家庭主婦 [冷]

今天當了個全職的家庭主婦：準備寶寶的早餐 > 帶寶寶上學 > 準備寶寶晚餐 >準備自己的午餐 > 掃地 > 看一會電視 (通常家庭主婦下午都會看電視的，不是嗎? =P) > 買星期六早場戲票 > 寶寶放學 > 到街市買菜 > 煮晚飯 > 寶寶睡覺 > 吃晚飯 > 洗衣服 (機洗 + 手洗) > 看電視。

這個流程表看上去一點也不緊湊，但整天就給填滿了。

再次衷心對全職家庭主婦致敬，因為她們和上班一樣忙碌，但卻時時被人誤會很悠閒 *.*

寶寶今晚心野，晚上八時半就睡了，過了十時的「宵夜時間」還沒醒。十一時半替他換尿片，醒過來就要吃奶；吃完奶不像平日乖乖回自己的牀睡覺，老是嚷著玩、拿著玩具走來走去，到半夜一時也不肯睡。結果我們捉了他和我們一起睡，他給我們兩個夾在中間，一時半才肯就範，真頑皮 >_<

明天他大概會遲起牀 @_@

在家

整天沒外出，最遠的地方是走到樓下的信箱收信。

那可不代表我躲懶：早上準備寶寶一天的飲食、和寶寶玩耍；下午監測鐘點清潔，還把這兩個月的筆者點打成短文，算是很了不起吧 =P

Eat and sleep [Cold]

Bo Bo woke up at 5am-ish for food and then sleep until 10am-ish, woke up again only yelling for congee and food!

I didn't realize you love eating and eating so much, Bo Bo? I knew you're still on holiday today and I shouldn't complain, I would feed you the foods you want my dear boy, but please make sure you could wake up on time tomorrow for breakfast and school, so that papa won't be late for work?

@ TY Clara’s home[Cold]

Had an exciting time @ Clara’s home as we added a competition to the program list this year on top of the usual Secret Angel. We’re the winning team and shared the pool of contributions which were sufficient enough to cover the costs of dinner and shared gifts ... yeah ~!!

This year we've 6 infants/ toddlers/ kids joining. Guess how many for next year =P

[Note: The one held by FK was Emily's niece, not FK's kid just for clarification!]

Mystery revealed [Cold]

Poxes on Bo Bo’s legs started to diminished and vanished. It looked more confirming that it’s the after impact of the vaccine, together with the symptom of high fever last Sunday.

The mystery revealed!

Merry Christmas Bo

Bo Bo continued to take much more foods than what he usually took. Was it because of the temperature or he’s in the rapid growing phase again?

Had Christmas gathering with Ming’s secondary schoolmates @ SKW. Bo Bo was given a small car to entertain himself – the first time he played with a small car and apparently he’s addicted to it!

Learnt that the girl of Ming’s friend who was born in April 2010 still haven’t secured an offer for PN place next year, and one of the schools which the girl has interviewed was the one which Bo Bo’s attending. Guess it’s really lucky for Bo Bo to have offers to PN schools and had the privilege to choose!

Thanks be to God.

True meaning of Christmas [Cold]

"Celebrate a truly Christian Christmas," "the joy of knowing that God is close and wants to walk with us on our journey through life."
"Let us make sure that even in today's society our Christmas greetings do not lose their profound religious meaning and the celebration is not absorbed by exterior aspects,"

Pope Benedict XVI 21 Dec 2011, Catholic News Service

Silent night [Cold]

Started our morning with breakfast together with Bo Bo – he had finished with his milk but yelled for more for some reasons, so we decided to give him bread. It’s the first time that Bo Bo self-feeding himself with bread! We taught him once on how to tease the bread with teeth and then put it back to his bowl when eating. He followed after the first demonstration which made our day – we could be pleased pretty easily =P

After the breakfast we did a haircut for Bo Bo. Planned to do that in Nov but kept on postponing for various causes – but finally came the moment!

To make the Christmas feel more like Christmas, we brought Bo Bo out to TST to have close interactions with those Christmas decorations and ornaments. Bo Bo enjoyed obviously, but I would be even happier if we could bring him to attend the Christmas mass. Hope for next year’s Christmas =)

Returned home before it’s getting too dark and cold. Had a delicious dinner and a silent night at home – Merry Christmas everyone!

* * *

The number of poxes on Bo Bo’s legs increased. Ming recalled about the fever last Sun and suggested that could be the after impact of the varicella vaccine. Kept on observing …

Poxes [Cold]

Return the pairs of leather shoes to H&M to get refund. We expected the refunds would be done by coupons as it was a non-cash transaction. Turned out that H&M allowed credit card refunds!

Found some small spots which looked like poxes on Bo Bo’s legs. Is it allergy or what?!

Winter solstice [Cold]

Early off for winter solstice. Had dinner with Ming's family last night, so we're free tonight and we did a bit of shopping before returning home =P

Ming decided to buy a pair of leather shoes from H&M for Bo Bo, but they didn't fit after we tried them with Bo Bo at home =(

Engine resumed [Cold]

Bo Bo was so active and energetic all day through from the moment he woke up in the morning, as if he had never got fever yesterday!

In that case, it's likely to be the after impact of vaccination ...

* * *

It's always a decision tree when came to circumstances around Bo Bo *_*

Fever [Cold]

Bo Bo woke up and cried suddenly at 2am-ish. Noticed his unusually warm body and did a measurement – Bo Bo's having fever!

Fed Bo Bo with paracetamol and kept measuring temperature every hour. It fluctuated but never went down to normal range. We guessed it's either the after impact of the varicella vaccination taken earlier this month (after impact could last for a month the nurse warned -_-), or Bo Bo's catching flu after yesterday outing under cold weather. Fed Bo Bo with the second dose of paracetamol at 11am-ish when he's up to 39.4 deg.

When he reached 39.6 deg again in the afternoon, we had to decide whether to keep on doing nothing but keep monitoring with paracetamol intake whenever it's over 39 deg, to take him to private doctors, or to send him to ER of public hospital. Didn't really want to go through the process of admission to hospital, we picked the second option; and then came the next question – which private doctor to visit? It’s Sunday afternoon, Bo Bo's pediatrician and Chinese herbalist were both on leave. Had to struggle between the Quality Health clinic nearby and the outpatient service @ St. Teresa's. Looking at Bo Bo's spiritual face and still being energetic to walk here and there except yelling from time to time likely due to the heat, we decided to pay a visit to the GP at Quality Health.

Bo Bo's reaching historical high of 39.8 deg when we're in the clinic. Our main purpose of the visit was just to make sure Bo Bo was not having pneumonia, tracheitis or bronchitis. Out of our expectation, the doctor was extremely patient and did a very detailed check which was similar to what the pediatrician used to do. The doctor confirmed there's nothing of immediate emergency, and gave us detailed guidelines on critical observations to watch out as indications of admission to hospital.

We're relieved after the doctor’s diagnosis, and fed Bo Bo with another dose of paracetamol after the doctor visit. Bo Bo's temperature still fluctuated, but he seemed to behave quite well during the winter solstice dinner with my family, which was changed from a restaurant @ Mongkok to Kowloon Bay for Bo Bo's sake. We fed him another dose after the dinner before his temperature dropped back to normal range. He was sweating a lot and possibly that's his body mechanism to lower his temperature - no more fever after 11pm-ish!

為食寶 [冷]

中午到旺角匯豐的員工會所燒烤，晚上和羅先生公司的舊同事到杭州酒家吃十二月之星晚餐。

我們吃、吃、吃，寶寶也吃、吃、吃，燒烤是吃了半大條粟米，晚上又要吃菜和魚肉，忽然變成「為食寶」 *_*

買藥材記

與田醫師通電講述寶寶的情況。田醫師猜想寶寶應該大致痊癒了，但為保險之計，最好到她處看一次確認。預約了星期六，期間醫師說可煲一些「可正氣，調理脾胃」的代茶，當水給寶寶平日喝。

我就拿著田醫師「生麥芽 5 錢 + 炒麥芽 5 錢 + (炒) 穀芽 5 錢，10碗水煲剩 5 碗」的「藥方」去買材料。醫師說最好到較大的藥材店購買，於是我跑到余仁生中環總行去。把藥方告訴店員，他說這些是開奶茶其中的成份，既然是給BB 喝，可以考慮買開奶茶代替。想了想，回覆店員還是要醫師那簡方好了。

店員收拾好材料，包裝得妥妥當當再用膠袋機封口，確認我只要一劑，然後按按計算機：「一共是港幣一元五角。」然後又再按按：「對不起，算錯了，應該是三元。請拿這張紙到那邊付款再來取藥。」

甚麼，就只是三元? 我起初還以為起碼要幾十元! 付款後去取藥，店員把包裝好的材料再放入精緻的膠裝，再叮囑煲煮前用清水沖一沖以確保材料清潔無塵，然後態度謙恭地說多謝、慢走。付三元就有如此殷勤的服務，真的受寵若驚，弄得我有點不好意思 =P

Back to office [Cold]

The first day return to office from sick leaves. Workload was fine, but it's so tiring to sit all day long after I got used to laying on bed if not sleeping for last couples of days =P

生日快樂 [冷]

生日的最佳節目就是睡覺 =)

送寶寶上學後再睡，近十一時才醒來，與田醫師通了電話，說寶寶是「脾胃不調」，把積蓄在腸胃裡不消化的食物殘渣都派出了就會病癒，所以這幾天的便便可能有酸臭味 *_* 寶寶今天的情況好像有進步，希望寶寶快點痊癒吧!

原本蘇海明訂了 Hyatt 的中午自助餐，但因為我們太懶惰及想吃清淡東西，所以放棄了 =P 時間騰出來，我們決定去領取給寶寶的獅子車和飯椅。比起搬那十二包尿片回家，這次領獎品回家簡直「小兒科」。獅子車放在我家，飯椅送到爸媽的家去。寶寶似乎對兩者都很滿意 =)

晚上收到老細 J 越洋電話問候，受寵若驚 *.*

《水舞間》[冷]

寶寶今早把早餐嘔出來了，嘔完以後卻一臉得戚模樣。寶寶，究竟你怎麼了 @_@

想帶寶寶去看醫生，但我們今日買了套片去澳門。結果要勞駕媽媽帶寶寶去看田醫師，明天我再打電話跟醫師跟進。

這次去澳門主要是看《水舞間》，因為不適合六歲以下的小朋友入場，所以沒有寶寶的份兒。我們看《水舞間》下午五時的「早場」，之前就在威尼斯人及新濠天地行逛。人多得很，都是內地同胞，很吵 ...

《水舞間》的雜技表演是好看的，但故事性就有點兒那個 --- 怎麼忽然中程加入電單車飛車表演? 是很精彩，卻好像有點無厘頭 ... 不過總括而言，是值得一看的。

因為套片包括了一些在威尼斯人使用的優惠，整天兩人只用了港幣28元，而且不需用腦，非常悠閒。晚餐早起完，沒由來等到晚上九時才乘船，於是跳上穿梭巴士趕到氹仔碼頭，剛好搭上八時開出的航班。十時抵家，還可以和寶寶玩上半句鐘，真好 =)

自己食 [冷]

寶寶第一次自己餵自己食粥仔，雖然只是最後幾口 =P

要監察他不把粥倒出來，趕不及拍照，真可惜!

Promotion program [Cold]

Wrote a short passage for Abbott promotion program to get HKD50 coupon - a quick and easy deal!

Pampers [Cold]

That's the problem when you've got nothing to do but laying on bed – you started to watch out for stuff which you didn’t usually look at.

I discovered this thread on Baby Kingdom which talked about exchanging Fisher-price lion ride and portable dining chair with purchase of 12 packs of Pampers from designated pharmacies. Let's do a calculation – 12 packs of Pampers costed HKD1,800 prior to discounts, and those gifts altogether costed HKD900. Not a bad deal wasn't it?

Registered with Pampers at once on phone. Next step, started to reach out to designated pharmacy nearby which sold the diapers at the lowest price. Finally secured an offer from a pharmacy at Lok Wah Estate, which promised to keep the offer and stocks for me until end of business today. I was not supposed to be out and did excessive exercise, but the offer was attractive enough to make me out and asked for assistance from my mom as well =P

All done by the evening, and my home was stuffed with 12 packs of Pampers =P As long as I go exchanging the car and chair within 2 weeks, these will all be under Bo Bo's account later =)

Another surprise of the day – received a big fruit hamper from colleagues in HK and overseas. It'll take more than a month to finish with all those fruits!

PN form [Cold]

News and forums reported parents queued overnight for submitting toddlers' information as requested by the St. Catherine Kiddy, just for obtaining an application form for its pre-nursery classes.

Were they too crazy or was I too lazy?

猜謎 [冷]

寶寶好像有點不勁，有點屙嘔跡象。

是上星期六打防疫針的反應嗎?

真的很難估計 @_@

十天 [冷]

忽然而來的十天假期，第一天靜靜地過去了。睡了大半天，其實也挺悶的。

當年媽媽退休的時候，說很不習慣，我想我明白那感受了。

不過也做不了太多東西，繼續睡覺吧 *_*

Prayer

RIP, the little one whom we’ve never seen ...

"Almighty, Everlasting God, who hast dominion over the living and the dead, and showest mercy unto all whom Thou knowest will be Thine by faith and works: we humbly beseech Thee that they for whom we have resolved to pour forth our prayers, whether this present world still detain them in the flesh, or the world to come hath already received them stripped of their bodies, may, by the grace of Thy fatherly love, and through the intercession of all the Saints, obtain the remission of all their sins. Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee.
May the Almighty and merciful Lord graciously hear us.
Amen.
And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen."

睡眠 [雨]

整天不是在等待、就是在睡覺。

醫生說：「現在先睡一下，一會兒我們會叫妳醒來 ...」然後我真的睡著了，直到護士叫醒我，很不可思異 *_*

Gut [Cool/ Cold]

我們給捨棄了，斗室空空如也 =(

HeatTech [Cold]

Went shopping with Bo Bo around home. Observatory predicted that the winter this year would be among one of those coldest one, so we bought HeatTech clothes for each of us from Uniqlo =) There wasn't a perfect size for Bo Bo – he used to wear 70/80 but the smallest size available was 100. Well, just a bit longer so ... we went for 100 for Bo Bo =P

We all tested out our HeatTech right away: the whole family wore HeatTech to the ex-PwCers dinner @ Spanish restaurant held at the Element. Looked good!

Decision [Cool]

We've decided to give up the offer from the school @ Kowloon Tong on behalf of Bo Bo. Just had the feeling that the school is quite similar to the one which Bo Bo's attending, both in term of teachers and environment. The only benefit could be it leveraged a lower school fee, but we would need to arrange for school bus service instead so it’d turn out to be more or less the same.

We could keep the place at the existing school without any cost, while we needed to pay registration fee of HKD1,150 for the Kowloon Tong school which we won't be attending likely. It didn't make sense for us to pay the registration fee in that sense, wasn't it?

Hope that Bo Bo would agree with our decision in future ... we rejected his first over in life!

忙碌 [涼快]

行程緊密，中午應邀到油麻地的救世軍幼兒學校參加開放日，下午到太子的幼兒園去面試。

以前只是道聽途說救世軍幼兒學校是好學校，今日親身見識和接觸該學校的小朋友，真的不得不佩服，印象深刻。這學校不用像那些名校般面試，只是依出生日期排隊；報名人數超額 N 倍，而且寶寶在隊尾，想機會不大了，就當來見識、見識吧!

至於太子的幼兒園，純粹因為它會教日文，而且北角的正校口碑不錯，所以報名了。蘇海明說還有一個原因，就是學校的名是我們的名字合併在一起，一定適合寶寶 @_@ 這次面試是 group interview ，比較像唱遊，不過遇上寶寶的睡覺時間，他又不想乖乖坐，沒辦法了 =P

弟弟的店就在附近，面試後我們到他的店一趟。寶寶對龜龜的興趣遠不及他對那部孵蛋器的著迷，很明顯他被那些藍燈跳字及按鈕吸引住了 ... 哈哈哈 ~

Happy 13th dating anniversary [Cool]

5W5D.

We had English brunch @ TST bricklane – tasted good and satisfied. Didn't do anything else to 'celebrate', a relaxing and silent day was more than what we needed ~

Bo Bo got a mail again – he's offered a place at the full day class of international stream at that school @ Kowloon Tong! We're more of surprised than happy, it's the first offer Bo Bo got in his life at the age of less than 13 months *.* No matter whether we decided to take the offer for Bo Bo finally, it’s something to be remembered =)

For some reason, an Apps on ICQ was gaining popularity lately. Guess it's kind of “those were the days” effect I supposed. Let's see whether it could last!

The 8th [Cold]

寶寶的第八隻牙出來了 =)

他今日異常興奮，莫非是因為第八隻牙之故 =P

HK > SG [Hot > Cold]

Had a very exhausting morning as we did something like treasure hunt around Singapore!!! Though it’s not a big country, still … @_@

The offsite was supposed to end by around 4pm, but for some reasons we have an early off at 1.30pm. After a 30-seconds discussion among colleagues based in HK, and making some calls to confirm our proposal, we rushed to airport at once to catch 4pm flight instead of the 8pm which we’ve booked originally! Thanks that it’s not big so we could be there in half hour, and still have time to do some shopping + internet surfing =P

Arrived home @ 9.30pm and managed to feed Bo Bo’s last meal of the day - am pleased =D

My first Facetime [Hot]

Offsite @ SG 9 to 5. Team dinner started early at 6pm as we called the day early. Not able to skip the group drink tonight @ Chime, but managed to leave early with some of my female colleagues from other locations ... hehe ~

Sorry ladies and gentlemen, you're all nice people and I enjoyed the time with you, but I preferred to spend my night with my little one =P

I was back to my hotel room at 9.30pm tonight and started the Facetime once settled done. Bo Bo was playing with Ming and my mom at the mat @ living, and he started by stretching out his little hand to touch the screen. He was obviously not satisfied by touching the screen alone and was curious why mama was in papa’s little iPhone. After a while, Bo Bo tried to look at what’s at the back of the iPhone ... hahaha ... my lovely boy!

The session end by annoyed Bo Bo not able to reach his mama from whatever means, so he decided to kiss/ bite the iPhone ... wahahaha =P

HK > SG [Hot]

Fly to SG for offsite ... my first "business" trip after Bo Bo was born. I couldn't believe my last business trip was indeed in Mar 2010 – more than 1.5 years ago!

Went out for a self-organized dinner among colleagues based in various locations. Skipped the drink and back to hotel room at 10.30pm. Set up Facetime using Ming’s iPad and that went smooth – except that Bo Bo has already fallen asleep by then, so I could only see his sleeping face without talking to him =(

Bo Bo, did you miss mama?

多事之日 [涼快]

- 寶寶發燒一整天 >_<
- 判定線比確認線深色
- 三人同行申請三項不同的回鄉卡服務

The first shoulder ride [Warm]

Two or nothing [Cool]

Big boss showed up today suddenly during lunch time!

And while we didn’t expect, the colleague who claimed herself with work visa problem suddenly showed up as well and said she would come and sit with us starting from tomorrow?!

What’s going on here, people?

Big boss [Cool]

Our new boss of the boss was expected to show up in office today but didn’t ... where was he???

Happy 1 album [Cool]

我們給寶寶弄的一歲相簿抵步了，很美 =)

我們在欣賞相簿時，寶寶睡得像隻豬 ...

金寶餐廳

下午想不到到那裡去，隨意選擇到「譽．港灣」的商場逛逛。商場的食市不吸引，於是到附近的舊區去「覓食」。看到一家名為「金寶餐廳」的茶餐廳，不進去也不行了 =P

這是一家非常傳統的茶餐廳，東西又平又好食，正!

寶寶近來上街都不禁望著來往的汽車，口中還要唸著「車車、車車」。莫非男孩子真的天生喜歡車車?

The first song [Cool/ Sunny]

藝術日 [涼快]

早上看《那些年，我們一起追過的女孩》，晚上看王苑之首個紅館演唱會。兩樣都是好節目 =)

哥斯寶大鬧中環 [涼快]

學校今天舉行時裝大匯演，把穿著老虎衣的寶寶從學校接回來，匆匆吃過奶就趕到母嬰健康院去。

1歲10天的寶寶重 9.4kg，高 74.5cm ，繼續在 50 和 25 的線上發展 =)

一歲的發展測驗是要小朋友自己在杯中取星星餅吃。寶寶看到姑娘桌上的星星餅就雙眼發光，搶著去吃，要姑娘阻止：「你最多只可以吃兩個，不然其他的小朋友就沒有星星餅吃了!」

日本同事在香港，想與寶寶一聚，於是離開健康院後就直接帶寶寶到中環去，先到我的辦公室，再到蘇海明的。甫到步，寶寶在我的座位前定定地站立呆了三分鐘，然後就像開動了的機械一樣，在辦公室亂衝! 所到之處，均聽到「嘩嘩嘩」聲此起彼落，猶如哥斯拉來襲一樣，哄動全場 ... 真不得不稱之為「哥斯寶」*,*

刷、刷、刷 [多雲/ 涼快]

刷、刷、刷 ... 刷、刷、刷 ... 寶寶第一次用正式牙刷刷牙 =)

山渣餅 [和暖]

病向淺中醫，還是今天帶寶寶去看醫生好了。

田醫師今天下午在西灣河應診。第一次到西灣河的診所，這裡比旺角的小，而且我由中環到這裡來需時比到旺角去還要長，不是親身嘗試也不相信!

今天配藥的叔叔給了寶寶三筒山渣餅作吃藥的「送口」。寶寶初嚐山渣餅，吃了一塊又一塊 =P

Youtube [hot]

Bo Bo’s status was fluctuating – sometimes having a serious running nose with non-stop snot, while sometimes he looked just usual.

One thing he’s urging today though was to watch his favourite youtube videos. Well, given that Bo Bo’s sick, I’d give in =P

High chair

Had lunch @ Ikea Megabox with Bo Bo.

Surprisingly, Bo Bo sat quite properly and behaved well in the high chair while we’d lunch, which triggered us to buy the set of high chair back home =P

The first interview of Bo Bo [Cool/ Hot]

Bo Bo woke up at 2am-ish and 3am-ish, not that he’s nervous about the interview, but rather he had blocking nose apparently!

We tried to move the time for age 1 vaccination simply to avoid the chance that Bo Bo would have fever, but finally Bo Bo still have to attend his first interview in life when sick =(

Arrived at the school @ Kowloon Tong at 8.40am, just 5 minutes before the interview. The teacher asked Bo Bo did much more tasks than what we've expected ...

- Put small blocks into boxes
- Stack boxes
- Help collecting small blocks into a big box
- Wooden puzzles with small handling sticks, match and fit
- The English-native speaking teacher wore piggie doll in hand, spoke through piggie and asked for response
- Recognize and say Papa and Mama
- Take candy and say bye bye
- Singing

… wait, singing?! Yes, singing! How can the teachers expect a 1 year and 4 days old boy sing, while he couldn’t even speak?! I told the teacher Bo Bo didn’t know how to speak so no way for singing, and the teachers asked Bo Bo to sing ABC song along with them instead. Bo Bo couldn’t do that of course, and just clapping and laughed at them =P

We didn’t train up Bo Bo for interview, therefore no matter how he performed we’re pleased – we’re surprised indeed for Bo Bo completing some tasks which he had never performed!

We didn’t expect Bo Bo would receive and offer, but let’s see how’s the result =P

寶寶生日快樂 [涼快]

看《3 Idiots》至凌晨三時，因為電影太好看了 =P

寶寶一歲生日，隆重其事，我們決定帶他上山頂，寶寶吃畢早上十一時那一餐就出發!

先去吃午餐、然後到港島徑散步。原本想讓愛跑來跑去的寶寶行山，怎知他此時睡著了，變成我們推 BB 車散步；到我們登上凌霄塔頂，寶寶卻精神得不得了，在熙來攘往的窄路及樓梯級上來回走 *.*

返抵家，近七時，寶寶吃了粥仔，我們馬上舉行寶寶的三人生日會。有雪芳蛋糕、有水樽、有胎毛筆、有搖鈴、有吹蠟燭儀式，其實這生日會也不錯吧；
我們還發現寶寶我第七顆牙正在長出來了!

最重要是寶寶開心 =)

我們親愛的寶寶，生日快樂!

寶寶幫忙打掃

明閣 [涼快]

我們都請了假，所以不趕急要八時送寶寶上學去。是日寶寶自己走路上學，用了三十分鐘走畢平日五分鐘的路程，因為他太八卦了 @_@

中午到旺角的「明閣」飲茶。想到這家米芝蓮食市飲茶好久了，終於有機會；二人吃不了多少東西，於是把雙方家長都吃來了。

食物是好吃的，當然價格亦很高，成正比。

餐後到附近買鞋，買給自己也買給寶寶 =)

拜山 [熱]

是日夫家祭祖。

人人都在問為什麼不把寶寶帶來 ... 其實他們怎會問這麼沒有常識的問題?! 寶寶還有兩天才一歲，帶他來的話，究竟我要跟著他不讓他去撲火、撲煙、撲香燭，還是阻止他去觸碰先人的靈位然後吃手指，抑或是抱著他走長長的樓梯、找個好地方便便又不得罪別人? 要是寶寶眼睏或肚餓哭不停，可又有人會說爸媽做不好著小孩子哭?

最可怕的，是蘇海明也問同一個問題。我暈了 @_@

@ Sunny Bay [Cool]

Day-out to Disneyland and Inspiration Lake … Bo Bo walking here and there =)

Busy [Cool/ Rainy]

Super busy at work @_@

Bo Bo drank 100ml freshely brewed orange juice as "snack" today!!!

橙汁 [涼快]

今天寶寶喝了公公給寶寶特別製作的鮮榨橙汁，50ML，急急喝完發現沒有了，哭著要更多!

可以想像爸爸一定開心得不得了 =P

Letter for the first interview [Rainy]

Working on 4 audits simultaneously *_*

Left office late but just in time to be at home before Bo Bo has his last meal before sleep. My bottom line is to do the first and last meal of each day with Bo Bo, or be around by those times - I would be unhappy if I miss either of these >_<

Bo Bo got a mail today – he received the letter asking him to attend his first PN interview in life on 22 Oct!

學步寶 [涼快/ 驟雨]

學步寶寶在家中走來走去。時近中午，爸爸打完籃球乘搭地下鐵快抵家來，索性帶寶寶走到地鐵站去迎接爸爸。

寶寶很明顯是個八卦寶，一邊走一邊就給沿途的商店吸引過去，結果五分鐘的路程走了廿十分鐘 @_@ 幸好抵達閘口時，蘇海明正好走出來，時間剛剛好，寶寶大笑!
