Qing Ming - 清明倍思亲

Qing Ming coming soon and time to prepare stuff for my parents and brother. I missed them especially my brother who really cares for me alot. Since he is only 7 years older than me, I feel so sad that he have to suffer such fate at this age. Spiritually I think he is still taking care of me although he is no longer around. I always tears when I am going thru his stuff or settle his estate matters. I always have this picture in my mind where my dad, mum and brother are standing together watching me, I can just walk to them when it's time to go over. Sometimes I feel lonely in this dimension although I need not have to worry about my sibling anymore.
And farewell - Toa Payoh flat. The flat that hardly appears in my dream. When I have dreams about my family, it is always at my old rented flat at Blk 60 Stirling Road.
Master bedroom - where my brother lives in.

The 2000 pieces jigsaw puzzle done by me and my brother, can't remember it took us how long.

Twin Birth - 3rd Month

It's 3rd month, have been enjoying babies accompany alot and sad that I will be soon back to work force, which means I will be left with only 1 or 2 hours of waking time per day to see each others.
Poor mei mei has been having flu for past few weeks, been thru suction, lab test and feeding on antibiotics. Lab test shown result of 2 virus attack, great that now she is ok. And poor mummy having burnt a big hole in her pocket.
The feeling of taking care of twins is like, well, everything has to be done TWICE. Like feeding, shower, dressing, etc, I will always think of Anthea as she is taking care for 1 baby now.
The amount of chicken essence I had for the past 2 months is more than the amount I had for the past 2 years.
In the car.

Morning greets!
Everyday's dish for me. Green vegie...and rice.
Hmmm, seems like abit squeezy...

Our standard pose.

Bubbling time!!!
Don't fight!!!
Hey! You started first!!!

Can you be more serious?
Big Jie Jie...

Twin Birth - 2nd Month

Trying to adjust myself during this 2nd month, especially when my confinement lady has left, I have to handle 3 new comers at one go and I have communication problem with 3 of them. Two of them only converse via cries and 1 speak only Malay. I am expected to learn and be proficient in Malay. Think if I have the time, I rather sleep or do something that I enjoyed. Plus, 3 of them have different culture, the baby culture and country culture.
In my mind, I still have thousands and one thing not done, especially facing my messy home after the shift from Toa payoh. Before delivery, my tummy was too big to work around; now, my hands are too tight to work on it.
At times, keeping sane is a challenge when facing the cries from 2, different working mindset from 1, sleep deprived, being confined at home. Depression is something that I try to ward off by keeping communication with friends and colleagues, and also with the help and support from in laws. Now I can understand why microwave is bad for babies.
Every morning you will see different pose.


I am Mei Mei.

I am Jie Jie.

Hmmmm...Yellow theme...

Jie Jie: What a tough fight, my mittons have gone somewhere...

Mei Mei: Hei, I have concurred mummy's bed.

Let's share...

Big Girl Going to Camp

Twin Birth - 满月了

宝宝满月了. 今天早上帮宝宝剪一小撮头发, 再用番石榴与柚子叶水冲凉, 又帮她们绑上了五色绳. 就这样.

I need 2 sets of these.

Their favourite sleeping position. And they are closer to my confinement lady at this moment. Experience counts.

Twin Birth - 4th Week

人家做月不怕热, 此热是指身体的热, 我象是越补越发热, 虚不胜补!!!
进入产后第4周, 每天都有固定的程序, 如几点起床, 梳洗, 吃饭, 冲凉, 等等, 千篇一律. 满月后就会不一样了, 陪月aunty就回家了, 到时那将会是天翻地覆!!!
Looking at my scar, my gynae told me that it is 12cm long, but when I estimated the length myself, it is at least 15cm and is slightly curved, so could be even longer. Hu... At times the wound will send me some painful sensation, maybe I should ask my gynae did he left anything behind...Whole body aching especially the back due to bending for diaper change, carrying the babies to walk around too much.

The face is on the other sister hand.

I bite Jie Jie leg.

Difficult to get them pose nicely. Left one is Mei Mei.

Lovely gifts from Sweden. As I was thinking of getting some safe toys that will emit some soft noise when shaking, this is exactly what I need and it is in the form of rabbit character.
