End of supply wef 09 Nov 08

After 'working' hard like a cow for nearly 7 months, and has supply partial fm on 14 Sept 08. i decided to stop the supply of breast milk. No choice cos i am very busy @ work + I have to look after my darling at nite so all these makes it tougher for me to perserve on and the mean reason is i can only express less than 50ml every 3hrs interval :-(.

Anyway, now my darling is on Total Formula milk and that also means I need to work hard to earn more $ to buy milk powder! :p I find that bringing formula milk out is convenient than breast milk. But her appetite drop tremedously over the past 2 weeks and only start to pick up this week. Since formula milk need $$ to buy i don't overdose her and feed her every 3 hours or wait until she cry for milk then i give her so that she can finished up the milk! :) Now i need to source out where is the cheapest place in town to buy Enfapro liao! ;) If u got good lobang, tell me!! :D

Bought a black formal dress which cost $45 and faster headed to tmc for my last hep B jab. Haiz...cos i m too desperate to get a dress so anyhow grab and ended paying extra for a casual dress $59.90.

He is look smart and i m so proud of him. Being a senior officer any1 need to slaute him when he hold me walk passed. The whole event include group photo taking, speech given by a minister, given out certificate and montage on their training. We are served with appettizer (raw salmon & salad), main course (grilled chicken), dessert (cheese cake & chocolate).

I m regretted not brining my camera there. Actually is my fault i totally forgot about my camera. Everyone was like taking picture with one and other. Only me and hb didn't take any picture together. Wear so nice for what... Stupid me lah... Sooooo sad.....

My Beloved Grandma left us :((

On 14 Oct 08 my beloved grandma has passed away :'-(. The last time i see her was the day before she passed away. I help her to massage her hand and feet cos she admitted the hospital on 04 Oct due to stroke. Half of her body is numb, her hand and feet will swollen cause she can't move at all. Blood cot find on her left brain, lung is seriously infected. Doctor advised said condition is critical want us to be prepare. Well, i want my grandma to recover but at the same time if she recover she will have to rely on wheel chair. My youngest uncle is not going to take care of her anymore. If her condition is stabilise her children intend to send her to elderly care centre. I know she hate the nurse to suck out her phelgm for her, know she scare of injection, know she hate taking medicine, know she hate to stay in the hospital. I will be sad if she left us but i rather she passed away peacefully then suffer all these at her age. I will remember and miss her forever...
