Day 10



Today marks the end of the 10 days of medical leave! But I still have some phlegm. Kimchimon woke up before 8am this morning and 💩 again. So early and so much poop, this Kimchimon. Fed myself some breakfast before giving him some hard boiled egg. He finished all of it and he drank some milk.

I made some pork chop for Kimchimon with steamed veggies and blended them to make them easier to eat for Kimchimon. He finished all of it except for some bigger pieces of pork. Kimchimon then had a haircut. Ever since he went to nanny's, I stopped giving him haircuts as Nanny would bring him to the barber's. But now with Covid-19, I think he should stop going there for now. Today's haircut gone quite good, he didn't really struggled and the sides are rather even. Maybe it's because the TV was on. Gave Kimchimon a bath before tucking him in for a nap.

Kimchimon woke up around 1.5 hours later most probably due to hunger. He had some milk and he played with his toys. Dinner time came and I made french toast sticks for Kimchimon. I planned banh bao for his dinner but I had no more yeast. He finished all of it but it took him 1.5 hours 😮. After dinner it's playtime with Kimchimon. Then just before we prepare him for the night, he had another round of 💩.

Kimchimon and Achilles tendinitis

Kimchimon and Achilles tendinitis Last year, Kimchimon was complaining of having pain in both of his feet (heel to be exact) for quite a while and it got so bad that he cried whenever he took a step and refused to walk.  We first brought him to a TCM nearby as I was alone with Kimchimon with a lot of groceries when he refused to walk. I thought TCM might be a good idea as i don't want Kimchimon to take so much medication. The physician told me that Kimchimon might have flat foot like Dillon, which was why his feet were in pain. He mentioned that kids in his age won't usually experience that much pain and was quite puzzled with Kimchimon's extreme pain. He advised Kimchimon to rest his feet as much as possible, and probably soak his feet in warm water to help ease the pain. He also mentioned that wearing shoes with comfortable sole. He then proceeded to do some Tui Na on Kimchimon's feet. Kimchimon's feet did got a bit better during the weekend with rest, however, t...

Our New House - House Hunting

After Kimchimon turned 1, I felt that maybe it was time for us to find a home of our own. My mother-in-law's place was great, very convenient with supermarket and the train station just right at our doorstep but this tiny human needed a bigger and more toddler friendly place. This post will be about how we got our own home. Getting a house in Singapore is never easy nor is it cheap. We had some options available: 1) Build-To-Order Flats (which is not an option as it would take about 5 years to complete during the Covid period and i wanted to move out as soon as i can)  2) Sale of Balance Flat - these are flats which were leftover or the previous owner had a change of mind during the last launch (the ratio for Chinese is always 0!) 3) Resale flat (the only option for us since it is readily available) Before looking for a resale flat, I went to HDB's website to calculate the approximate cost of the house that we could afford and the type of subsidies we were eligible for (you can...

Materials needed: 1) Wooden crate ( i bought a wooden crate from ezbuy back then for $15) 2) Mini wooden log pieces ( since i already have them, why not use them) 3) Wheels for carts (i bought them from Nippon Home for $4.90, but you can also get adhesive ones on Shopee) 4) Glue or adhesive (feel free to use screws too) 5) Unwanted or extra play mat (which I had to use to modify my wagon later on) 6) Thick rope for handle (can be found on Shopee too) Total cost: $20 Tools needed: 1) Paint (colour of your choice)  2) Screw driver Instructions: 1) I painted Kimchimon's name onto the log pieces and glued the wood pieces to the wooden crate 2) Glued in the wheels using superglue 3) Tied a knot with the thick rope and insert into one of the gap of ...
