Christmas is finally at it's end. Before christmas, I made a wish to have more rest and sleep for once...and I got what I wished for - food poisoning!!! Sat night had party at in laws place and took the same food as 25 other people, and unfortunately, I was the only one who woke up with food poisoning the next day! Poor me panicked as I had to take care of 3 kids!! My stomach spasms was so bad I can hardly sit up straight, plus I had bodyache all over. I quickly went to see the doc and took an anti-vomit jab to curb my nauseas and hurried home to take care of the baby. I was practically confined to bed with no strength and had to get in laws to take care of the 2 elder boys while hubby helped with the bb at home. Luckily things got better on Christmas eve, and by then I had stop vomitting and the bodyache subsided. The only thing was I was too weak from lack of food. I faster replenished my body with food and fluid to prevent dehydration and altho I was so tired and sleepy from the medication, I couldn't rest at all with 3 kids clinging onto me like leeches! Today I am almost recovered, only thing is that I don't feel hungry for food at all and can hardly digest much food.
Poor me had few parties planned but had to cancel one party at my place on sunday and skipped one party on sunday night at relative's place. Today we all went over to sis' place for lunch and had a great time talking and playing wii at her place. Just few hours ago we proceeded to in laws place for dinner and came back to rest for the night after the kids had their parties for the past few days lol.
I guess the happiest should be the kids, going from parties to parties, and meeting all our relatives who hadn't seen each other for a while, playing together, and of course getting the loads of presents will make the best part for Christmas. I'm sure next year's Christmas will be a much better organised one with our new place and kids growing up older and more manageable. With the end of Christmas, it means year 2007 is coming to an end. This year is certainly an unpredictable year for me with a lot of changes. I wished 2008 will be a better year, altho I am expecting myself to be a lot more busy than current, with all the things happening next year.

Finally I am able to find some peace and quiet moments to update my blog. Its been crazy with bb Min around and Hao on school holidays. Good news is that Ee is attending half day child care now and is adapting well. Just few days and he's no longer clingy and seems to be starting to enjoy activities in school. Altho he has just caught a cold yesterday, I hope things will not be as bad as when Hao first started school and needed few months to really get immuned to the germs spreading around and being sick etc. Crossing fingers on that!
Min is still adapting to the environment...he's not really establishing any routine except morning times but at least he is sleeping better and longer stretches at night and I am picking up on my sleep too. Still deprived but not as bad as when we first started out LOL
Nic's back in Singapore again. She's such an angel for bringing back my loot and hubby Wii set. He and the kids are having fun with the games, especially Hao who's getting better and better at it. I just can't wait to have our new house ready soon so we can move over with bigger space for our family. It's really getting a bit crampy and noisy with the kids.
Hubby's car broke down last week. After a series of troubleshooting by various parties, they finally found out what's wrong with the car. Sigh..gotta spend another sum of money on the repairs. Our air conditioning system ran into problems too and needed some servicing...not sure what's coming up next...hope things turn out better soon!
