dodo,
i am all teary while reading your post. my heart really goes out for you. can't imagine how heartwrenching it is for u, to be all alone, feeling so helpless & be torn between taking care of 2 boys. thankfully, zq's teacher is so kind & helpful. try not to think too much ok, even though it is very tough. i'm very sure zq will be strong & well very soon. most importantly is you get as much rest as possible & not collapse bcos your boys need u so much now.
whenever u feel like going berserk, just drop in here & rant. i'm sure u will feel slightly better after doing so. cheer up ok? Big Hugs to u, zq & ya! |

dodo,
Oh no... Sorry to hear abt it. U got to be strong.
hmm... Knowing that tearing is hard to control, somehow you must control and withhold your tears coz from what I know, your boys may feel puzzled (or even frightened) when they see you tear. *For myself, when I tear/cry, J becomes frighten and he will cry too.
So you must be strong ok? U can do it...
Did the doc mention about giving lighter meals or only liquids while you monitor?
Yes, ZQ is a kind and smart boy. He will be alright!
U must be strong so that they can learn from you too.
Take good care and hang in there! |

dodo, pls don't say that you're a lousy mummy. you're doing a great job handling the 2 boys alone, esp given the situation. hope zq will recover quickly. you must also take good care of yourself. i'll be praying for you and your family.

dodo: so sad to read wat happened. so heartpain for zq. 
must be very terrible for u to handle all these alone. have you inform ur hb yet? is he on his way back?
lucky zq teacher was available to help you..dun feel bad abt crying if it helps just cry out. but after crying must ask urself to stay strong and calm for zq & ya's sakes ok! now most impt is to slowly increase zq food intake and monitor if there is any more viomitting. also make sure he stays hydrated too. will pray that he will no longer viomit. be positive and think on the bright side like hapi_fifi! i believe it will help! |

I was like 'HUH? OMG! I can't believe it.'
Dun noe how to react...

i am here too. just came back from the retail shopping at NTUC. Was reflecting why being a mum is so difficult. Really not easy. Was quite affected by dodo's encounter. I often have to meet this kind of helpless senerios. Gradually my heart become weaker & weaker. A mother wish is so simple but yet so difficult to achieve. Happy & healthy children. That's all mah! ..... |

I'm here too! Can't sleep
so was goggl-ing for vomit / head injuries, trying to know more but there is not much co-relation on the extent of the injury. Some say the number of times vomiting does not mean it's more serious etc. Impt is that the child is still behaving normal and continue playing. And most say if really there is minor injuries, it will recover on it's own. Hmm really hope to give strength to dodo and hope she is coping well over there. |

wah u all night owls indeed! I should have came in to chit chat. Couldn't sleep the whole night, prob less than 1hr sleep only. Been having contractions on & off, so uncomfortable cannot sleep. Seems like my medicine is slowly getting ineffective in controlling my contractions. Hopefully can still hold on for a few more days

am really touched by ur help my dear...
totoro, how's kelly? hope she's doing well... u are so sweet gal.. finding out more for me at such an hour.. my eyes teary again..
zq's condition is improving i guess, but still vomit on and off despite i have been feeding him very small portion... however, he's back to his usual cheeky and active self, that's less worrying for me but at the same time i very scared he keep jumping coz i worried he would vomit out the lil food that he had..
i still feel uneasy abt his vomitting, and he also complained abt the bump on his head pain pain at times, i will bring him to another PD tomorrow.. to seek 2nd opinion and hope to understand his condition better...
hubby just back home ard 630pm.. i was shocked when he told me he was hospitalised there at kunming! coz he had difficulty breathing had fainted.. doc said he has 高山症, lungs not strong enough for high altitude... he's fine now, was on oxygen tubes for an hour to make his brain oxygenated again..
it's really a handful for me to handle now, plus my right breast starts to get lumpy and painful, coz of the irregular hours of expressing these few days.. sigh.. supply also drops abit, i think i may need to open the 1st bottle of FM for YA soon.. i wish i can "dong" until 23rd this month.. when he turn 10mths old..
mummies, thanks again.. u all had given me enormous moral support and many helpful tips.. big hugs to all.. |

hi mummies, just finished pumping...was thinking about you, dodo, so came in to see if zq is any better. really relieved to read that he is back to his cheeky self now. reading your earlier post on the hospital visit really tore at my heart. when i read how zq told didi to go away when he was about to vomit...oh man...tears really came to my eyes. he is such a sweet little boy and I hope he recovers completely soon. was also shocked to read about ben having altitude sickness...but glad that he is all ok now!!
I cannot imagine how it is like for you in a foreign land. but you are one strong and brave mummy, and I think you should never have to feel guilty or blame yourself for anything ok? you're doing the best you can for your lovely family!
jas, zhen_zhen, hapififi, doobom, hippo, junnie and all the other mummies who responded to my rant...thank you for empathising...i really feel so much better when i come here to vent because of you fantastic ladies. teaching is stressful, but i love it because of the intangible rewards. like today i bumped into my ex-student who was working at the IT show, and we had such a good chat. it's just the non-teaching stuff that gets me, and also the fact that i'm spending so much time on other ppl's kids that i have no time for my own...ironic, right?
part-time is not a good option, I oredi asked HOD about this last year but he said it's like a lot less pay but just a bit less work...so i guess it's either i stay on and endure it, or i just leave completely. but i definitely need to finish this year, cos i dun feel good about leaving my students high and dry...
CM, thanks so much for your patience...sorry to trouble u and your in laws...today i had no time again (!!!) i will prob call them on Mon to see if i can drop by...sigh...
Mebbe I'm a bit emo because it's late at night hahahaha...but u know what, i'm really so grateful to have u gals as a support!!!! i dunno what i would do without u all. altho i'm not very active on the thread, you all never fail to give good advice and just listen when i'm troubled :D |

Dodo,
so happy to hear from you! glad that zq is on his way to recovery & your hb is ok too. It had been a tough week for you. Things are just going to be smooth-sailing & great from now onwards! Hugs
Karrie,
you are another tough cookie! Your workload sounds really bad (like my hubby!) & you are so right about the irony of you spending so much time on other kids as compared to your own. But many times, it's so tough to strike a good balance between work & personal life. The good thing is u derive intangible job satisfaction from your students :-)
I'm also thinking very hard of my next career move. Thinking of looking for a job maybe a few months after Keagan is born. But I'm really quite clueless what I should be looking at. If I were to return to marketing/corp comms arena, I know the hours will be crazy & I really would love to spend more time with my boys. If I were to switch line, I've no idea what I can do! Haha. On the other hand, if I continue to be sahm, it can be so financially straining. Sigh. Decisions decisions decisions. Why can't we mummies just have it all? Haha |

mummies,
thanks for all the well wishes! hubby wana thanks u all too.. he's so touched and glad i have a bunch of good pals here
we didn't bring zq to PD today coz of heavy snow since morning! really wonder whats wrong wi the weather, it's already March but still snowing.. very sian.. this make me wana go back to spore v much coz i miss all the outdoor fun for kids..
seems like zq is getting better and better by days.. he's more cheerful today (maybe bcoz his "darling" is back.. haa :p), and his appetite seems to slowly resume as well.. so we will continue to monitor closely, and i check on his body more thoroughly coz sometimes he will complain his legs/ butts/ arms pain.. maybe the after-effect of the fall..
hippo,
ben is better now.. to think that such a tall big man got altitude sickness, ironic right? :p
now he finally realise why he always headache when he outstation to kunming... how's ur back/ butt gal? hope the pain is not that severe now.. 1mth+ to endure my dear! did u go for prenatal massage? maybe it helps? and try not to sit too long, remember to walk ard when u at office desk ya.. hugs..
cherie bear,
oh dear! just read abt ur fall! hope it's not too serious.. and u still up at such late hours huh?! have more rest ya..
karrie,
u another late owl!
my dear, im not a brave mummy at all.. i weeped duno how many times since the accident happened.. i hope i can be stronger and actually one of my 2010 resolution is to be a more independent mum! but i dun think i anyway close to achieving that, my parents are worried lots abt zq and me, my sisters are also very worrying.. lots of sms and calls from spore, msia & australia these few days just to check on zq and me.. i feel rather bad to make them so worried abt me.. sigh.. and the fact that i duno how to drive really make me a handicap! i cant even drive my own son to clinic when he's sick, still gonna rely on cab,which maybe difficult to get one nowadays coz of the snow condition. and hubby's car just parked downstair... so useless of me.. sigh..
gal, it's hard on u to strike a balance btw work & home coz of demanding nature as a teacher.. but u had done well so far! Mea is coming one and u still BF! and dun worry abt the lil time wiur kiddos, just keep remind urself u are doing ur best at the moment, and spend ur quality time wi them in a more fun and loving way, make the hours special and heartwarming even if it's just hugging and playing on bed, drawing of family portrait wi them, hand & toes painting wi them can be so meaningful also i have all my time spending wi my boys but most of the time im busy preparing their meals, cooking, doing some housechores.. i wish i can hv better time management and do some really interesting stuff wi them!
hapififi,
how are u today? hope keagan is getting bigger today wi all the good food over weekend, let's pray that he gains another 300g after oct mummies visited u yesterday wi all the good food ya!
me too.. thinking what can i do if i back to spore... maybe a part-time work is more suitable for me, coz i wish to spend the time wi my boys when they back from schools.. but im not sure what can i do.. agree on the financial part, and i think our hubbies definately feel abit more pressure as their job is so crucial now, so many "mouths" to feed.. haa..
hmm.. maybe we can 合作 and work out something hor.. :p |

chintz,
wow! just read that u at genting now! enjoy and HAT AH!
ecookie,
is yr getting more manageable? agree wi jas that u can start to train him to sleep on his own now.. bbies are smart and they can get into routine pretty fast.. i just put YA on bed once he had his last milk, sometimes he's already very sleepy so will just zzz immediately, but sometimes he's v wakey and playful and i will tell him that it's sleeping time, faster close ur eyes and sleep, maybe sing a few lullabies then i will off the light and leave the room liao.. he will make noise for a while but i bochap la then he will fall asleep ultimately.. give it a try gal! maybe yr will surprise u that he's can self sooth to sleep also!
yr seems abt same size as ya.. ya was 5.3kg and 59cm whn full month.. now he's 10.30kg at 9mth old.. quite big i think but he dun look super chubby and bui bui, maybe he's quite tall also.. and he got my hubby's face, 瓜子脸.. zq poor thing, got my "pong pia" face! haa |

dodo: so glad to hear about zq getting more active!
and dun feel bad abt making ur parents/sisters worrying abt u, they are showing their concern and im sure their constant keeping in touch w you is also one of ur souce for comfort n strength to draw from! we really cant do w/o our family right!
and hope this episode can be a strong motivation to let u start learning driving, gal! its a really useful skill! so once u back in sg, take up the lessons again ok!
my hb used to persuade me to learn driving last time. saying if one day he's sick i can quickly drive him to doc. but this reason is not strong enough a reason so i never pick up driving in the past.. haha. but once i have yz, i decided to take up lessons cos i want to be available to ferry yz whenever the need arises, be it just an outing or to get help if needed. LOL. the power of mummy love. :P |

sleep training: yah i decided to try sleep train yr from fri night. cos really cant cope having to spend so much time carrying him ard just to sooth him to sleep. yz, hb and the house need my time n attention as well. but cos yr cried in the nursery in TMC till he lost his voice and had hoarse voice for almost a mth during his 1st mth, all of us dun dare to let him cry too much in case of aggravating the voice. the end results is he wants to be carried alot as we give in to that alot.
so for the past 2 nights, i just popped in the pacifier and pat him (i still cant bear to just walk out and let him sleep, maybe will try soon). and the boy cried so madly n loudly demanding to be carried!! surprisingly it lasted at most 10mins, before he quiet down to some whimpering then actually slept!
but that 10 mins was really tortouring for me. and even when he managed to sleep w/o being carried, i felt more guilty than relieved/happy.
sigh, but i know once i started this, have to stick to it. if not just sending wrong messages to the poor confused boy. so today even for naps we didnt carry him but just pacifier+patting and luckily he fall asleep fast w/o fussing too. so i guess it has more or less worked.
maybe i just stop at this. i dun mind patting him to sleep. :P
next will be to cut away his 3am feed. wish me luck! |

so glad to see ur updates and that ZQ is getting back to his normal self. Hope the weather gets better and u can bring him to the pd to ensure that everything is fine!
It was really tough for your whole family last week but hey everyone is ok now so life sure gonna be much better moving foward.
Karrie
just wonder if there is anything that the school can do to lessen the workload and strike a work- life balanced!! I would think since it's govt sector, they should really be looking at it seriously so that they don't lose good teachers like you.
Hapi Fifi
so you have a good time with Aidan this weekend?? Jia you |

Good morning!
Totoro,
yay so happy to see Aidan over the weekend even though he didn't stay for long. Suddenly feel as if I have missed out so much on his growing up phase though it has only been 3+ weeks. Maybe too used to facing him daily. Now I understand the Chinese saying '一日不见，如隔三秋' haha
cm,
ya, I've been eating soooooo much the past few days that I feel as if my stomach is bursting! Many all the tightening are due to excessive food in stomach & not real contractions! Wahaha
Ecookie,
reading your posts about yr's sleep pattern is starting to send jitters down my spine! Haha. As much as I look forward to bringing Keagan home soon, I'm really dreading the pumping milk, feeding & sleep training parts! Eeeks so de ja vu! Maybe it's time to dig out my Gina Ford's 'the contented little baby' book & start reading again :-) |

Hippo,
woohoo! U are Week 36 already! Really can start counting down. Moreover Ayden is of a good weight ya?
I'm also happily counting down to 18 march - just 3 more days to week 34! Have agreed with gynae to stop medication on 18 march (maybe last dosage around midnight or 4am), then I can start walking around the ward to faciliate cervix opening & hopefully can have a smooth & speedy delivery on the same day! Let's pray Keagan will cooperate ;-) |

hippo: same same!! when im preggy, i always want to drive.. cos being on the move made me feel so heavy n frustrated, i always want to drive cos it made me feel rested and in control as i told my hb.. hah but he didnt understand lah. still, he let me drive till the day i popped haha. dun dare to cross a grouchy preggy i guess. hehe. |

hapififi: i'm sure baby keagan will be very cooperative wif u cos he knows that mummy is doing a great job & wif all the yummy food mummy has bn eating over the wkend to boost him
dodo: glad to hear that both zq & ur hb are well. At least now u dun hv to worry too much. re: ur parents & siblings calling u,they are concern of u & dun blame urself for making them worried cos they loves u. & oso re feeding ya fm,u hv bn doing a great job giving ya fm for 9mth+,so if u were to give him fm earlier than expected,dun feel disappointed. Cos bm or fm,all we wan is our baby healthy. So u hv alrdy done a gd job though i know u "she bu de" to give him fm.
zhenzhen: dun mention I'm happy to carry her too. She's such a sweetie. I like the way she suck her fingers,juz like Javen, haha....
tiffy:how are u le? How's ur ms?

ecookie,
yup i'm hoping all the durian stuff will boost his weight & be more than 2kg! haha. actually it would be nice if he could stay longer than 34 weeks. but problem is my amniotic fluid keeps leaking & still on the low side despite the fact that it can be replenished. so my gynae already told me to be prepared to see a 'squashed' baby, as in his limbs might be curled up due to lack of fluid to stretch & move about in my womb. Good thing is it's unlikely to be permanent. But I reckon by Week 34, it might be safer for him to be out than to remain inside my womb :-) nowadays i could feel his feet pushing against my chest & ribs. quite painful & more noticeable bcos of low fluid. guess he is also getting uncomfortable with the lack of space! haha
the only thing about giving birth on 18/3 is that my CL is only available on 27/3. so we'll be on our own for a week. guess can only take a step at a time. anyway, we also do not know how long Keagan has to stay in NICU or be hospitalised for jaundice (hopefully there's no need to!)
re: gina ford
i think she either faces only PERFECT babies or she twists & turns the facts! wahahaa. i also take it with a pinch of salt & never follow to the tee. but it's rather good as a rough guideline & we sinmply customise according to our (and baby's) needs :-p |

i m sure keagan will cooperate with u dear! and i'll pray dat he'll be a great baby to take care of too considering what he had put u thru! u'll cope just fine dear.. gambate!! *no NICU. no jaundice!* he will be a healthy & happy baby!!
ecookie, hahaha! grouchy preggy = stay away as far as u can! haha.. no la. .i tink they can also see our frustrations in being unable to carry out our daily tasks except for driving. so bo bian.. have to give in to us.. ha!
cheriebear, how are u le? still sore & painful from the fall? hope u are fine!
retail therapy?? hmm... just managed to spend some $ at the taka fair on sat. but i refused to buy new stroller yet. i keep asking hb how much his sister is going to sponsor.. then i will buy! hahaha.. cheapo me! |

morning mummies!!
hapi fifi, you've done so well these past few weeks. now you can look forward to 18/3, when you can be mobile again! perhaps you can ask your parents to help out for the first week, before your CL arrives?
hippo, it'll be your turn soon! just endure a few more weeks, and soon your pains will all go away and you will get to cuddle your cutie ayden.
cherie bear, errr.... deb's finger sucking is very "disgusting" leh. even when i put a bib on her, she still manages to get the front of her romper completely soaked. |

hippo,
hey thanks for the positive chant!
think it's time for me to revise my chant - instead of 'staying longer', i must say 'no NICU, no jaundice. be healthy & be happy!' keke
talking about retail therapy makes me so sad. i was so envious when hubby brought aidan, my mum & my sis to Taka Baby Fair on Sat to shop...without meeeeeeee!!! But the silly man never bought anything for baby & ended up with a set of super chio speakers for himself! Bleh. i can't wait to be released! |

zhenzhen,
ya will probably rely on my mum for the first week. just that she also needs to look after aidan. so it will be really taxing for her if she has to cook & help care for Keagan too.
re: stroller
i'm also thinking of getting a new one too cos the combi one that aidan has been using is getting so worn out! haha. but no idea which model to get. maybe try maclaren? anyone using any particular model of maclaren stroller & highly recommends it? i would prefer one that can be reclined, not too clamp (so that aidan can also sleep in it) & would be good if can install those buggy stand for him to stand on. |

dodo,
yay! great to see your cheery post!
dun forget to drink lotsa water & get more rest. u really can't afford to fall sick :-)
there's not much difference between techno XT & XTR right? except that the latter is slightly bigger? cos i think price difference almost $200+ |

hapi fifi,
thanks! ya man! keep drowning myself wi water, vit c, honey etc.. very kiasi now!
ya.. i compared the stroller at Mothercare harbourfront and didn't see much difference.. just that the latter is slightly spacious and the texture/ material of the padding seems better.. but for the price difference i rather choose XT loh.. actually i think for spore climate, XT maybe better, XTR is rather cushion-ish, maybe more suitable colder countries.. |

dodo,
when will u be moving back spore for good? end of this year or next year? ya, part time sounds like a not-too-bad option. maybe we both join zhenzhen to teach part time! haha
re: NAN 3
aidan has been drinking NAN since he weaned off bm. sometimes if he misses a meal, i'd also give him pediasure (after turning 1 year old). i think hannah also drinking this brand.
i started with NAN cos i heard it's very close to bm. i'm quite happy with it so far because it's smooth (easily dissolved & no bubbles) & most importantly is aidan's poo is normal. he tried other brands but he either gets constipated or the poo appears funny. i guess it all boils down to the individual baby's reaction to each brand. what works well for one may not work well for the other. so u should buy a small tin for ya to try :-)
another pro is that this brand is slightly cheaper compared to others. i usually get it at a mama shop near my mum's place at $26.80 for a 900g tin :-)
i think if you were to compare the nutrients contents, NAN's dha etc is slightly lesser than enfa, gain IQ etc. but i'm not overly concerned since our toddlers are also getting nutrients from their solid foods |

so regret din get it when i was younger.. keep relying on my parents and hubby to ferry me ard coz i very scared driving on road.. now bo pianz, for my kids i need to drive and i also wish to be more independent to run chores myself w/o waiting for hubby everytime.. u know what, since i cant drive, im super addicted in online shopping nowadays! and i just bought a "magic" mop with some cute floor rugs just now.. happy! |

morning zhen zhen!! i didnt reali have the chance to check out the whole fair cos i was like a pregnant penguin pushing thru the crowd with my family in tow.. ha! checked out the strollers cos the one adri was using is pretty worn out le.. imagine my mum happily using the stroller to bring her to the market for the past 2 years everyday without fail and the basket to put her marketing? hahaha! better not to risk using it for ayden too.. hahahaha!
and thanks dear! i m indeed waiting to bid the pains farewell and never to "see" or "feel" them again!
hapififi, yes! happy chanting! will surely come true for u.. ur hb never buy anything for aidan too? let me help u *abish* him! keke..
dodo, we love u too! pls monitor uself ya? tink not only cos of ur breasts.. could be due to u not hvg enuf rest too.. plus the snowy weather! hugs... |

hapi fifi,
hubby's contract end next jan.. we are thinking whether to back to spore for good or to extend... part of me so desperate to back to spore because of my family and frens there and i miss the hot sun.. but part of me dun mind to stay put here for one or two more years coz of zq's sch, he really loves his schools so much and i think he learnt great virtues there.. and also almost all expenses here is claimable which means we can save abit more.. sigh, very luan..
thanks for the review on NAN!
ya i heard it's v close to bm that's why im thinkg to intro this to YA.. yes, im not so concern abt the DHA part also.. zq has been drinking enfa since 6 mth old when i supplement wi him fm and he's drinking enfagrow now.. so far so good for him also.. agree that it depends on individual bb's reation..
$26.80 is few dollars cheaper than normal retail right, wana get the mama shop's add from u when i back to spore, need to bulk purchase! haa |

dodo, yep! get ur license when u are back.. but must make sure u get rid of ur phobia of driving ya!
ya.. the stroller is reali put to very very good use man. and i still have the volo in good condition cos my mum dun like the small basket haha!
if i m u, i tink i would be torn apart to stay in BJ or come back to SG too.. expenses are very high here so with 2 kiddos and the exposure they can get in a foreign land, i'd stay in BJ. but for support and family & friends, i'd wana come back to SG. but girl! u have us too! we are always online!!
hapififi, hi5!! and yes, i *ABISH* ur hb! i can't walk. if i could, i tink my damages would have been pretty high at taka fair.. LOL. so tell ur hb i abish him!
maruko, CAN't WAIT!!! haha |

dodo, think the exhaustion from the past few days is cathing up with you. drink more fluids and get more rest ok! and hannah is also using Nan. only thing is that Nan hardly has promotions. i also get mine from my neighbourhood provision store for $26+.
hippo, oh... your pram is so well utilised. agree that you should get a new pram for ayden.
hapi fifi, i'm a fan of maclaren. think they are very hardy. and also very spacious. if you want the mid-range one, can consider a quest. think ecookie has that. can ask her for her feedback. |

hapi_fifi: im sure things will turn out fine! the 1st week of delivery always passes in a blur and the baby normally just sleep alot. so im sure your family n urself can handle keagan for the 1st week just fine!
dodo: good to hear that zq is getting better day by day! for urself, must remember to express regularly if not will have fever! take care n rest more now that ur hb is back to lend a helping hand!
eh, i still have ard 6more kg to go. maybe bcos im tall so the fats distributed n with camera angle will look slightly slimmer lah. but truth is not so!! slimming down is so hard!
no wonder alice said can have fainting spells one.. i try to cut down abit of food nia, the stomach growling can get v loud liao.. think my appetite still remain very big hehe.
and dun get disheartened, normally it takes up to 1 year to go back to pre-preggy. somemore u BF, have to eat well.. this is the price of being a weida mummy! im sure u will slim down soon! |

hapi_fifi: yup im using a quest and it has serves us very well since yz is 6m old till now! it can recline, is lightweight and can attach a buggy board as well (if im didnt remember wrongly)..
compared to XT, XT will be heavier but more sturdy and better suspensions. of cos XT is more exp too. i got my quest during some sale so its costs ard $260+ a good buy to me.. |

dodo, i think learning driving is a good skill to have. esp if you have kids. can learn when you get back.
and don't worry so much about your weight now. you're still bf-ing, so much eat well. cannot diet ok! |

Zhenzhen & ecookie,
thanks for your feedback on maclaren. Hubby mentioned taka fair having promo so techno XT about $300+ but could be an old model, not sure. He mentioned it's orange colour though I'd prefer other colours. Too bad I can't go down & see for myself argh. Can't trust the Man to shop! Haha. Never even take a photo to show me. Must send him back again keke or maybe I shall wait till I deliver then sneak out to shop during confinement wahahah since the fair ends on 28/3!
Maruko,
what miracle is jovialz talking about? How come I never see her post leh? Something wrong with my netbook? Hmmm |

Dodo,
Happy to see your cheerful posts. Glad everything went well. and would be much more better. Regards whether to con't to stay in BJ or Spore, i will also be sandwiched too. But staying overseas for too long might make you feel very uneasy when you come back home. take e.g my friend who has been working in china for 3 years, came back to spore for a few months only, can't adapt, return to China till now. He has been there close to 10 years. He is so used to the China working environment ald.
Hapi fifi,
I also very sure Kaegan is more than 2kg too! Jia you! You & kaegan has done well.
Hippo,
36weeks ald! wow! it seems like i have not see you for a long time is it? When you coming to my house to for dinner? |
