This dinner is a luxurious one that is so expensive that it can cost a month of my salary if I am working. Luckily ah tung got staff discount or else the money spent on this dinner alone can pay for my dinner for 3 months. The serving for the dishes are too big that we cannot finish everything even with the dinosaurs eaters, including me.

Fall

I had the most horrible fright just now after boy left for fishing. I was busy looking up on web on why baby Dylan is having constipation when suddenly I heard a bump. Baby Dylan fell from the bed. I had placed him in the middle of my bed and had pillows placed around him just in case he turn and fell. This shows this is not a safe way either. Luckily a big pillow had cushioned his fall and he only slightly bump his head a bit on my wardrobe. He cried hard for awhile and makes me wanna cry too. My heart jump into my mouth when I saw him missing on my bed, and panic swept through me. Sorry baby Dylan, it's my fault, I will not leave you alone on my bed again. Tell me that you are alright please.

Why is my baby Dylan getting constipated? Babies who breastfeed exclusively are rarely constipated. Breast milk has the perfect balance of fat and protein, so it produces stools that are almost always soft. A medical condition or illness is uncommon, but can happen. Constipation can be caused by an underlying medical condition such as hypothyroidism, some metabolic disorders or some food allergies. I will ask the doctor coming Monday when we visit NUH for his routine checkup. But meanwhile, baby Dylan hasn't pass any motion for 3 days already, the last one he had is on Saturday night.

Up coming will be tonight's early reniuon dinner at Mandarin hotel.

Assignment

We had an assignment today, that is to go to szechuan court (where ah yi work) to repack the auspicious fruits (those new year goodies I were packing the previous week). The contents in some of the bottles are too little, so we gotta go back to fill it up. Luckily, daddy is free to help out, we checked and finish everything within 3 hours. And because we can only start work at 3 pm, we arranged to have dim sum at Tien court (mummy's work place) before bringing baby Dylan back to my place to let my mummy look after. Mummy took MC today after jiayi suggested that she can do that so that she can spend time with baby Dylan.


Different prawn dumplings


Pheonix claws & some fried dim sum


Szechuan prawn dumplings & crispy yam strips


Xiao long bao & bamboo soup

Dragon beard (mango filling) & szechuan prawn beancurd

Birdnest egg tart

Enjoying and playing with his bottle

Managed to take pictures with him looking at the camera, boy got no skills hahaha

Boy went fishing at Singapore river after he brought me home, actually I had wanted to stay till later, but because he wanted to go fishing, so we had to go home early, I think mummy must have been disappointed at my early departure.

Weekend home visit

It's swensen again, to help use mummy's vouchers, there's still $200+ left.


Calamari rings / cheese stix / omelette (jiayi keep asking if she can eat the calamari rings which she is not suppose to, when you know it's threatening for you or maybe your baby, you should have mind, better to believe than not)

Root beer float / cookie monster (look what jiayi had done to her drink)


Mango madness
