My little Han's birth sign
Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)- The king of the jungle
Leo kids love to be treated like royalty. If you treat them with respect and honor, they will be open, warm, and very giving. These children demand to be noticed whenever they enter a room, often in quite a dramatic fashion. If you do not give them their needed compliments, they will have no problem telling you what praise they would like to hear.
They love to direct everyone, be it playmate, sibling or parent. People seem to not mind being lead around by a Leo, for they often are fun and have great ideas. As any king or queen, they demand only the best in comfort and luxury. They love to act and try on roles of older people.Usually successful in everything they do. Leos can get almost anyone to do almost anything. They do not do anything they do not feel they will not be the best in. Probably the most confident of all the zodiac signs.
Leos hate to be wrong. Whenever you must tell a Leo about a an unacceptable behavior, it must be phrased in such a way that they come out with their pride in tact. If criticized without an out, they will attack and never listen to what needs to be changed. They have very strong egos that they must protect at all times. To help a Leo with changing his behavior, start with what is good about him. Then you can tell them the behavior you would like to see them change.
Sometimes Leo can be so self-absorbed, they will not share the stage of life with anyone. Immaturity can be a problem. A Leo should only be allowed to lead people if, it will be beneficial to everyone. He cannot be allowed to just control and dominate everyone to build his own ego. Leos must learn to share. Siblings in the family will force a Leo to get off his pedestal. Be careful he doesn’t bully or dominate the other siblings or the whole family will suffer.
Birth - 6 months
Sunny and loving.Generally very healthy.Amusing and charming. Enjoys being the centre of attention. Vocal and demanding- becoming even more so if needs are not met (talks to herself a lot when nobody talks to her). Physically and emotionally strong. Enjoys plenty of attention and laughter (yupz, she's so smiley, always in good mood). Is visually stimulated more than auditory (true, realised she likes to look at big, bright, colourful images, be it on the newspapers, books and even T-shirts). Needs plenty of praise, love, physical contact, attention. Doesn’t enjoy being ignored.
(can't comment on the ones listed below as she's only 6mths old) hehehehehe
6-18 months
Alert and curious. Loves discovery and likes to share with others. Enjoys showing off for people. Needs plenty of interaction from others. Looks for approval. Needs attention, approval, appropriate responses, socialising and sharing. Doesn’t enjoy being ignored, disapproval or limits.

Bright, entertaining, delightful and generous. Loving and tender, may mimic caring adults with dolls, animals. Can be quite dramatic and tend to exaggeration. Girls at this stage would quite often prefer to be boys. Normally cheerful, may become cranky and controlling at times. Can be bossy with other children. Can usually be brought out of a bad mood with humour.

starry starry signs 1
Saw this on Aunty's blog ..... Farn is so typical Gemini....
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) - The Intelligent Entertainers
These children are good entertainers. They never are at a loss for words (sometimes I'm amazed at what comes out of his mouth). In general, Geminis are very intelligent and love to learn. Writing comes easily to them (true, he starts to write at 3yrs old). Give them books or computers to keep them from tiring of one activity. Witty and very humorous, they can grow up to be comedians. They are so good with speech, they can sell anything to anybody (basically, I think he talks too much, I've to tell him to SHUT UP). You will often find salespeople possessing the sign of Gemini.
Avid readers, they will need many, many books on many subjects to be happy. They can talk so much, they drive everyone away (he drives me CRAZY). Boredom will turn them into a hyper, nervous, antsy child (maybe that's why he's getting so uncontrollable now, I've to tell him to stop behaving like a monkey). Get their physical needs for movement satisfied by getting them involved in dance lessons, gymnastics, or track and field. They need to move their bodies as often as they move their mouths. On the other hand, do not give them too many things to do at once, for then they will never learn to be good at anything.
Watch for sensitivity to the hands, limbs or lungs. These children are more prone to dyslexia and nervous disorders, including speech problems than any other sign. Looking for variety can keep them from being faithful to friends and later to a spouse, as well as, the inability to stick with one career. Teaching your Gemini child to fulfill their commitments and concentrate on what’s in front of them will be the best thing you can do for them (this one is difficult, he has such short attention span, always doing a few activities at the same time & not finishing all of them).
Birth - 6 months
Makes contact almost immediately using eye contact and vocalisation.Enjoys interaction.Very alert.Likes being talked to and to hear the sound of a human voice.Responds well to laughter. Mirror play is good.
6-18 months
Curious and verbal.Constantly in motion.Has a short attention span and needs plenty of variety.Learns through repetition and conversation.Likely to talk and walk early (definately talks very early. I can still remember during 1 of his health checks, the pd ask if he can speak more than 20 words, my dh & I was like er....he speaks much more than that loh but but but he didn't starts crawling till he was abt 18mths). Finds everything exciting and challenging.
18 months-3 years
Perpetual motion could be your child’s nickname at this age.Begins to perform multiple tasks at the one time.Looks for honesty from those around. Mercurial personality begins to show and becomes even more unpredictable.
3-6 years
Continues to be changeable, restless and curious.Becoming more involved with testing out different roles and truths.Tests parents to see if they meant what they say (definately true for my Gemini boy).Favourite word “why” followed by “how” (drives me up the wall with his non-stop questioning). Mimicry and conversational abilities become even more highly developed. Begins to develop skills in debating and negotiating (true also, always bargaining with me, sometimes I'm so fed up I just say "Do it because mummy say so").

how she has grown :)
Just realised it's been almost a year since I last wrote. Little Han is coming to 6mths on 3rd February. Wow! And she's grown sooo much. She's such a smiley little darling, always have a ready smile on her face, unlike Farn who's quite a cry baby when he was her age kekekeke...... Hmmm let's see, Han's almost 6mths & she's already able to sleep through the nite for the whole 10hrs (I'm thankful for that), flip from back to tummy & back, able to stand with support, very chatty, definately very curious (very excited when Farn & I are having our meals, guess she can't wait to taste other food beside her bland, boring FM). She's very active, always waving her hands & feet in the air, think we're gonna have a hard time catching her when she becomes more mobile.
Gosh.... she's soo different from Farn. Her bro is a very docile baby, doesn't move much, always at the same position where we placed him. He's cot was always neat & tidy, not like Han who has the power to uproot anything that's not tied down in her cot, even the bumpers are not spared. Hope she doesn't become a tomboy in the future kekekeke. Shhhhh....... she's having her afternoon nap right now.
As for me... hmmm I've LOST my pregnancy weight! Hooray! Yeah!! ^5!!! but but but I still can't fit into most of my pants :( It must be due to expanded hips, luckily I have a very boyish figure, no ( . )( . ), no waist & no hips hehehehe, so my hips still looks ok even though they're expanded.
Going IKEA later to get some stuff for CNY, didn't had a proper CNY last year due to very severe morning sickness, so I'm gonna enjoy myself this year :)
Gotta go check on the sleeping angel *MUCKS*

handphone battery hunt
Met up with sis yday & left my hph on the food court table, when i went back, it's GONE! sHIT! Now have to call Singtel to suspend my SIM card & get a new hph....... waste $$$. Managed to get a replacement SIM card at Hello! shop, the lady informed me that I've to pay extra $100 for a new hph as my line is only due for 21mth upgrade on 5th Sept..... wat MORE $$$! Then I remembered I've a spare hph but with faulty battery. What the hack, a new battery is cheaper than a new hph, anyway it's only to last me till 5th Sept (a non-original battery only cost $10).
Wasn't really bothered till I reached home then I realised without a hph & no land line at home, I'm literally cut off from this world! Sharks!!!! What if my bb Kitty decides to pop tomorrow or I falls or faint or...... I'll not be able to dial for help! Quickly I went in search for my spare hph, trying to remember where I've buried it. Phew! finally found it stucked in between my clothes in my drawer. So today, after my gynae I'm gonna get a new battery.
Visit to Dr Lee, my gynae, is as usual short. Was told that bb Kitty is 2.87kg from the scan, but Dr Lee says she maybe bigger than that! Wow, no wonder my peivic area is aching like nobody's business. Took a cab to Elias Mall to get the battery. On reaching, I realised the hph shop has folded..... SHiiiiit, I still plan to hitch a ride home in CF's school bus after the purchase, but now I've to look for another shop.... So I went to Pasir Ris MRT's Singtel shop but was told that my phone model is too old, they no longer stock the battery...WHAT!!!! Ok fine, I needed the battery no matter what, so I tried my luck at the Starhub shop in White Sands. The sales was on the phone when I walked in. He turned to look at me, I showed him my hph & said "Battery?", he just shook his head & was back yakking on the phone again.....what kinda service is this.......arghhhhhhh...... no choice I really need the battery TODAY... so the next best bet is the Hello! shop at Tampines Mall.
Off I go in the MRT to Tampines Mall, only to be told "Sorry Miss, this model is too old, battery no more stock..." but the sales was really helpful, he suggested that I can try the Nokia Service Ctr at Century Sq. By now I'm tired & my legs are groaning after all the walking & the extra 2.87kg weight, huhhhh, still expect me to walk to the next building!!! Oh, how I miss my bed, my pillow, my cool aircon bedrm & my 'babes room' chatting.......
BUT STILL.... I dragged my feet there, all the while keeping my fingers crossed. Haiz, guess today is not my lucky day, no battery either at the Nokia Service Ctr. When I was at the Ctr, I took a peek at the pricing..... omg... original Nokia batteries cost a bloody $58! That's it, I can't go on any more, my legs were going to break, I needed a seat! Spotting a Haagen Daz eating area, I plonked myself down on 1 of their soft & comfy sofa & ordered an apple pie with 2 scoops of their yummy ice-cream ...hmmmm....heavenly...the best thing so far after a day of hunting. While savouring my treat, I did a quick calculation ... if I were to pay $58 for a battery, I must as well top up another $40 for a new hph now then to wait till 5th Sept. So, after 3hrs of unfruitful battery hunting, I finally decided to get a new hph... what a waste of time & money (the ice-cream cost me a whooping $18)!
Hack, went back to Hello! shop at Tampines Mall, took a que no. to purchase a hph. Omg, I realised all their service counters don't have seats, oh, my poor, poor legs. Finally, it's my turn. This sales guy at the counter was so cute looking hehehe.... On seeing me, he promptly said "Hi Ms, let me get u a chair." Hey, that was soooo thoughtful. He offered me a high stool, but er.... a bit too high for a heavily preggie me. Then the cute guy said "Wait, let me lower it for u." with that he got on the stool & lowered it to a comfortable height for me, awwwww soooooo sweet, that's what I call good service (remembering the Starhub sales...pui!). None of the hph on display appeals to me, so I just picked an affordable Nokia, paid & took a cab home.
Xainz, now I'm stuck with a hph I don't like for the nxt 2yrs :( Well, people always say to look on the bright side, so the bright side of losing my phone.... I don't have to worry about missing any calls the whole of today hahahaha........
Lastly, to the snigger who took my phone, MAY MY PHONE BLOWS UP UR FACE!!! $#@*!^#

36weeks & counting .....
Just went to the gynae, gosh, I'm now 62kg & bb kitty is 2.5kg. Wow, she really put on fast, 2 weeks ago she was only 1.8kg! Popped by Stemcord to sign the cord blood banking agrreement. Got a real gd price: originally was $750 (a special rate for patients of Gleneagles gynae) which was reduce to $450 as Stemcord is having a promotion. That amount was further reduced by $50 with credit card promotion. kekeke.... in the end I only paid $400 + $20 (GST)!
Didn't do much for the rest of the week. Managed to clear out a drawer for bb's clothing. Daddy has finally get down to rearranging the study to accomodate the bb cot, but has yet to set up the cot. Hopefully, he'll do it this weekend. Bought a pair of pretty, cute curtains with animal prints from Ikea yesterday for the bb room.
Hmmmm.... what else need to be done.... there's the pink stack of rompers to be washed, laundry the bumper, buy a matress & fitted sheet for the confinement lady, write down a list of impt ctc nos. for daddy & MIL, stock up the kitchen.... OMG.... so much things to do, but so little time....
yawnzzz... feeling sleepy again.

5yr old's 1st encounter with a breast pump
My sis gave me a breast pump last night. Farn being curious as usual asked: "Mummy, what is this?"
"Oh, it's a pump for pumping milk from the breast."
"What's a breast?" So I pointed to my breast.
"Can you show me how it works?"
"Mummy will show you when I'm using it."
"Can you show me now?"
"Now? No, 'cos mummy don't have milk now, must wait till baby kitty comes out."
"It's ok, you can use my milk."
Huh???? Mummy is speechless.....
Then Farn continued: "Can you use it for other drinks?"
"Er...... no, only for milk."
"Can it make blue berries juice?"
HUH??????????? Maybe he thought it works like a juicer.....kekekeke
"Er.....no,dear. Alright time for your bedtime stories!" With that, I quickly put away the pump in case he came up with more weird questions.
