After harping on the swimming pool, for the past few days, Mia had been wanting to go to the beach. It doesn't help that Higglytown Heroes keep showing the episode where they go to the beach....anyway, we went to the beach last Sunday.
As usual, went to East Coast and parked at the big carpark. Went there with my family and Athirah...Mak brought nasi lemak, yummmy....
On the way there, Mia was already groggy from her medication but she still refused to sleep. I told her to sleep first before we reach the beach but she kept saying, "I don't want to sleep. I want to go to the beach!"
The moment we reached there, I fed her the nasi lemak although I know she is just itching to go play with Athirah who is already building sandcastles. After the food, she dragged my darling to bring her to where Athirah was. I was with Fia who was being fussy again...
We left East Coast at about 2pm and we went to Ikea with Khaliza and Azril. Shopped a little and then went to Charco's to eat. That was how our Sunday goes....

I am blessed...
I hear complains from wives all the time about their husbands dumping everything on them...and I am blessed that my husband, flaws and all, is supporting and sweet.
Even though I am on maternity right now and he has to go to work in the morning, he still tells me to wake him up for Fia's night feeds...I sometimes do wake him up when I am just too tired but I try not to cos he is working. He would willingly look after Fia and Mia the moment he got back from work. Although tired, he would share the parenting duties without complains. He would even help clear the dishes if there was any. And when I complain about being tired, he would just tell me to rest and take it easy...if I can't clear the household chores, just leave it. He tells me to do it another day or wait for the weekend and we would do it together...aaahhh, I am truly blessed, alhamdulillah.
I love you, my darling....

Much needed spa retreat!
On 14th Feb, my darling and I went for a spa at Spa Le Kraton!! We had to separate the 2 girls, though, because at Jurong, there is nobody to take care of Fia. So Fia was sent to Yishun while Mia was sent to rumah Abang Sap to play with the Kakaks and later they went to Jurong.
We went to the Bukit Batok branch which is newer than the Serangoon branch. It was inside the HomeTeamNS clubhouse. It was much bigger and the decor is similar. I like it very much...very classy and romantic! We were brought to the VIP suite and started the Shanti treatment.
We started off with a Javanese massage and I told my therapist to concentrate on my shoulders. It was great. I could actually hear my knots in my shoulder being 'unknotted'! It was followed by the lulur. By then I was shivering. This branch do not have heated massage bed like the Serangoon branch. I could here my darling trying to clear his blocked nose due to the cold. Anyway, after the lulur, our body was covered with yoghurt and we were wrapped like a sandwich.
Lastly, we had a shower and then a bath in the jacuzzi filled with milk and honey. We were served fruits with a chocolate fondue and champagne (non-alchoholic, of course!). It was pure heaven. We were given 45 minutes to enjoy soaking in the jacuzzi....aaaaahhhhh!!!! Pampered to the max....

Going swimming again!
On 13th of Feb, we went swimming at the club again. This time, my darling was working so we brought Khaliza with us since she was on MC...hehe. Mia was excited at usual!
She got in the moment we got there. I went in too but with Fia in my pouch. I also tried putting Fia's feet into the pool. I thought she would cry because of the cold water but she just kicks...heheh....but I don't dare put her in the water yet...maybe when she is older...
Anyway, after like 3 hours, we left the pool and went to Jurong Point to eat. That place was damn big after the extension....Mia got tired to walking from one end to the other...
At 5 plus, we went home and our girls' day out is over...

Big girl Mia!
Mia is finally sleeping in her own room together with Fia!! My girl is growing up fast....
on 8th of Feb, we went to Ikea looking for a new bed for Mia. We saw a single bed with pull-out and thought of buying that for her so that when Fia is bigger, she can use the pull-out. We got there and walked around. While looking at the kids section, we saw a kids bed which is much smaller than a normal single bed. After much deliberation, we decided to buy the kids bed which cost only $55.
Once we got home, my darling hubby got out his toolbox and started assemblying the bed. Mia of course helped, and keep saying she is like Handy Manny! After the bed is made, I placed a new Mickey Mouse bedsheet and once she saw the bed all made up, she got so excited. We still were not sure if she would sleep there that night.
When it was time to sleep, I said, "Let's go and sleep, Mia!" And to our surprise, she pointed to the new bed and said "There?". So, we went in, I read her a storybook and 'tepuk' her to sleep.
For the first 2 nights, she woke up in the middle of the night and cried for us. I went in and just 'tepuk' her and she went back to sleep. After that, she did not wake up in the middle of the night anymore. Yay!!
Now, the only thing is to hope that Fia would be able to sleep through the night soon...my body is really getting very tired....Yaaawwwnnnn!!!!

Anasofia's first month check up
Today was Anasofia's first month check up. Our appointment was at 9.20am. Since it was her first time at the clinic, she had to see the doc first. The wait was very long. After the doc check-up, she was given the jab. She wailed until her whole face was red!!! Luckily she stopped crying after a short while.
while waiting for doc, there was this nenek with 2 grandchildren. One was about 3 while the other one was a baby in a stroller. She was asking the big boy where the other boy is. It seems that she had 3 grandchildren and somehow, one of them got lost. She sounded so panicked as she shouted the name of the lost kid. Luckily one kind soul saw the kid wandering around on the 1st floor (we were on the 2nd floor) and brought him up to look for the grandma. The kid was about 2 years old so I guess he had told the man where the nenek was. The nenek looked so pitiful, have to bring the 3 kids to the clinic all by herself.
Anyway, after that, we went to eat at Mr Teh Tarik and off to Bukit Batok Civil Service Club for swimming. Mia had been asking to go to the swimming pool for ages...so, today, she swam with ayah while I look after adik at the bench...
