Grandma's Birthday

Daddy should have posted this picture long ago - this was taken when Grandma celebrated her birthday on 13 September. Here's a picture of Grandma and her four favourite grandchildren; (L-R) Brandon, Nigel, Nicholas and Ashley.

Brandon Is Still Here!!

We thought Brandon could go home today - but the doctor said that he needs to stay one more day. Brandon's fever is down but doctor said that we should monitor the growth of the 5 birth marks he has on his body... And also to look out for any freckles in his armpits and groin area. Nothing serious at this point.

Brandon reading "Today's Parents" for tomorrow

Daddy spent the night with Brandon today. Since Brandon woke up early today (at around 6am, we decided to head downstairs for a walk... and guess what we found along the way...?

Brandon watching "Caillou"... well, although he didn't exactly sit through the entire 30 mins, at least daddy's arms could get some rest from carrying Brandon.

Mommy was so tired after having to take care of Brandon the night before ... having to clean and shower Brandon 3 times after he vomitted in the middle of the night that moomy slept for 13 straight hours when she got home - poor mommy!!

Brandon In Hospital

Brandon had fits and high fever on 24 Oct. It was scarry to see Brandon's tiny body shaking and going limp. His eye balls were also looking upwards. Thankfully, we were with friends who drove us to KK Hospital. Brandon was subsequently admitted on 25 Oct at about 12:15am.

The one-day stay in the hospital became a three-day stay - Brandon's fever just wouldn't gone away - hovering about 39 degrees, only going down a while before his temprature shoots up again. We hope he can be discharged tomorrow (27 Oct).

Brandon doesn't look too happy and dislikes the hospital bed... that only means one thing. Mommy has to carry him most of the time... unless he sleeps (which he doesn't)... well, we don't blame him. Who can sleep with the kid in the next bed crying all the time... and visiting hours was like a family reunion in his room where he shares with 5 other kids!!

Look, mommy wearing hospital scrub... that's because Brandon threw up on mommy - a few times!

Brandon - are you REALLY sick...??

Ashley visiting Brandon - he was thrilled when jie-jie came into his ward.

Just The Kids

Brandon discovered stickers

Cow-kids

The Songs On Montage

Daddy was surfing the internet and guess what we found on Montage Studios'* website...? Check it out yourself at http://www.montage-studios.com/Portfolio/Portfolio.html. Anyway, this particular picture was take in 2007.

* We've been going to Montage Studios to have our annual family picture taken even before Ashley was born... and we highly recommend Montage Studios to whoever is thinking of having their family picture taken!!

What's Brandon Up To...??

... Well, here's a hint... He's NOT playing "hide-and-seek". He's been punished by mommy for hitting back after being warned not to... And for that, he gets to stand in the corner!

Just the Boys

Daddy seldom gets his picture taken with the kids - so, here is one for the blog

Children's Day @ Safra Yishun

Today is Children's Day... so, the Songs went to Safra Yishun for a swim. Daddy left his camera at church, as such, this is the only good picture we've got using Ashley's camera phone.

Ashley & Brandon

"Monkey See, Monkey Do" - Daddy stuffed some tissue into Ashley's nose because of a nose bleed - Brandon wanted some for his nose as well.

More "Monkey See, Monkey Do" - this is how Brandon smiles!! Look, Daddy is learning how to smile from Brandon.

Brandon's 1st day of work

... and who says boys do not help around in the house and taking care of their kids anymore...??

... of course they do!! As long as you feed them well. Otherwise... hey, Brandon...stop drinking baby's milk!!

Mid-Autumn Festival

Yesterday (Sept 14) was Mid-Autumn Festival... so, what else did we do...?? Get those lanterns and candles out!!

Ashley and her best friend, Christabelle.

... studying, of course... yeah, right!!

A Day at the Beach & Camp Out

We went to the East Coast Park today (Sept 2). It was a BIG day for Ashley - daddy & Ashley will be spending the night out.

Ashley & Brandon playing with sand.

Brandon didn't like walking on the beach without his sandels. Look at that face.

It started to rain cats and dogs at around 5:30pm or so. We almost couldn't camp out. Fortunately, the rain stopped after dinner. Everywhere was wet and daddy had to pitch the tent under a shelter.

Daddy brought a tin of sausages and we had a small BBQ. It took a long time to get the fire going. In the middle of our BBQ, Ashley needed to use the bathroom. Oh-uh... so, should we leave everything behind and run to the bathroom more than a 100 meters away...?? That was what we did. Fortuntaley, everything was still there when we came back to the shelter.

Lantern Fantasy 2008

Today is the start of the school one-week holidays... we decided to make our annual visit to the Chinese Garden for "Lantern Fastasy 2008". This year's event features popular Sanrio characters, Hello Kitty and friends, participating in various sporting races.

We were on the way out of Chinese Garden when our little friend started dancing to the music that was blasting from the speakers at the entrace of the garden.

Daddy could not unload the video. To watch BRANDON DANCE, click onto Brandon's photo above

Daddy always thought Ashley's liked "Hello Kitty". Now, he knows that her favourite Sanrio character is "My Melody"
