Our first visit to National Library

I have been wanted to bring Ryan to Sibu National Library,but it was kept postponed due to Ryan fall sick for the past two weeks. Today, he looks so fresh in the morning and I decided to bring him to the library to see and borrow some books home.
It was my second visit to National library since I came to Sibu 6 years ago. My first visit to this library was about 4 years ago.Any changes in the library...not all all, still the old design.
Kalah teruk with those National Library in Singapore....only has one counter for registration, borrowing and returning section.
When I entered the library, I saw long queue at all the 3 sections...I faster brought Ryan to the children 's section and started to look for nice story books for him. Ryan was busy looking for books but after a while, he seem get bored. Lots of old story books and some are bit complicated for Ryan to read and understand. I can sense that Ryan started to feel boring....and I am right, in the next few seconds, he told me "mummy, we go home ya".
Then I said " wait for a while, Ryan"...mummy looked for some nice books for you,then we go home. We were in the library for about 30 mins only, and I managed to find 5 short story books for Ryan.
Since I was not a Malaysian, I checked with the registration counter whether I can join as their member or not and lucky, the lady said "ok". Another 10 minutes for registration(pretty slow service) and paid Rm9 for registration fee. I will only get my library card on my next visit. For the time being, the lady only issue me a receipt for my own record.
Ryan was happy...at last can go back home. and it was almost lunch time also...I rushed back home and cooked simple lunch for 3 of us.

Probably Ryan has not get used to the library environment as it was his first visit to the library.
But frankly speaking, I prefer to go there myself,..at least I can see the books freely and it takes lot of time to find a suitable books to borrow.

Business Directory

Due to high living standard,there is a need for me to look for a job to earn extra money for my family. After being a full-time housewife since I gave birth to my son, probably now is the time for me to join the workforce again...Hopefully, I am not out from this society world which I have left for the past 4 years.
Not easy to get a suitable job,but I am telling myself,not to give up. As long as I have strong determination, sure I can do it.
While surfing online for some job vacancies, I came across this Business Directory which provide very useful information of different business links like accouting, finances,jobs,and so on.
I have bookmarked this website and will hop on to this website for my future references.
It is my pleasure to share this useful information with my bloggers' friends here.

Nightmare...again..

Not a good day for me because Ryan was sick again last Saturday..This time , he was having throat infection + fever Again(exactly same last 2 weeks ago's sickness).
What happened is last saturday I still sent him to school as he did not show any sickness symptons in the morning, no calls from teacher for the whole morning...only when I fetched him around noon time, I could sense Something has happened to Ryan again as he looks weak and no mood. He did not even touched the food I prepared for him and no smile on his face when he saw me at school(which is not his usual act).
Faster rush back home and BINGO...he has no appetite to eat for lunch..only few scoops of noodles and a bowl of barley water. Fed him fever + antibiotic(which he is supposed to have it ...an advice from doc to finish the whole bottle of antibiotic). That Saturday, Ryan has a quick nap. He woke up around 2 pm....still has slight fever, no mood. Then he got back to sleep again....and around 3.40pm...his fever started to shoot up. Not to wait, faster rush him to doctor since the doct clinic is closing at 4.30pm. Just drove out from home less than 3 minutes, Ryan vomitted inside the car....aiyah...has to rush back home to get him changed...Lucky my mil was at home and lastly she accompanied me and Ryan to the clinic. No more vomitting session inside the car...
Doctor was curious to saw Ryan again and asking me what happened to Ryan? I told him..should be throat infection + fever. Doct said ...Ryan's throat is swollen + red and it is bit weird that he will get it as he is still taking the antibiotic. Ryan suggested to let Ryan has an injection for speedy recovery as he got the same sickness within a week time...pretty short duration. And this time, the throat looks more teruk..So ryan was having an injection + suppository as his fever has reached 39 at that point of time. Ryan was having the same medicine as his last 2 weeks ago....and I have to monitor his condition closely...there is possibility to come back for 2nd injection if no recover sign after 24 hours.

At saturday midnight, as expected fever came back on and off....12midnight, I gave him a suppository as fever started to shoot up and followed by fever medicine at 3am. Then he slept till next morning and woke his daddy up at 7.10am. Have his milk and he looked slightly better. The whole sunday morning, he looked fine...we just stayed at home for whole sunday..no outing.
Around 11am...his fever started to come back...slight fever 37.4, faster fed him another dose of fever medicine and Ryan was having porridge for his lunch(glad that he likes porridge suddenly...no rejection and showed good appetite).He can play as normal.....
Only after waking up from his nap....has slight fever,that was around 5pm...another dose of fever medicine, then he looked active and even joined his daddy washing the car at the yard.
During dinner time, he can eat as normal (rice + fish+ vegetable)....and I was monitoring his condition very closely. Have to wake up every hour to monitor his body temperature.

For this whole month, Ryan will be resting well at home ( as per doctor's advices ) for 100 % recovery,before he started his school routine. So it means I will be busier at home for this whole month entertaining Ryan 24/7.

Hope Ryan will get well soon.....!!

Ryan @45 months old...

Another 3 more months Ryan will be 4 years old....

It has been long time I never update on Ryan's milestones progress and let's me recall back
any new development on Ryan @ 45 months old.

1. more independent nowadays....but there is also time whereby will ask for Mummy's help.
He just like to manja with mummy...so what to do...mummy has to entertain him too because sayang Ryan.

2. can hold pencils in the right way and has started to write numbers in Mandarin.
Sametime mummy is learning those mandarin words together with Ryan as Mummy is a @banana@...mummy can only speak simple mandarin,no writing and reading for Mandarin words.
Lots more to go for Mummy and Ryan in learning Mandarin words...

3. like to follow anywhere mummy and daddy is going,unless mummy and daddy are going to doctor,then he won't join.
No choice...has to let him join,or else, he will cry and show sad face.

4. like to read story books.
It has been routine that every night Ryan will grab his story books and flip them over before
going to sleep.

5. a good helper at home.
Ryan likes to help mummy at home...a little helper,but everytime he does help,mummy become
more busier. But mummy always appreciate his little helps.

6. start to like eating banana and papaya again.

7. like to drink chinese herbal soup (those black in colour).
Ryan does not really like to drink soup during his meal,but when come to this black chinese herbal soup, he can finish up one whole soup without mummy asking him to drink soup.

8. very concern about Mommy and Daddy.
Everytime when mummy or daddy are driving a car and he saw other car started to get close to our car, he will shout " mummy/daddy, becareful",drive slowly. Good boy, Ryan !!

That's all I can think of about Ryan's development....

Lastly, Ryan will be finishing his Nursery class this coming December and next year January 2011,Ryan will be entering Pre-Kindee and today I have registered him to Tadika Rejang Park(his daddy's ex- kindee). Hope Ryan can adapt well in his new kindee next year as it will be a new environment and new friends for him.

And not to forget,Mummy and Daddy hope Ryan stay healthy and happy always!!

Not a good news..

Last saturday,29 Oct 2010..as usual Ryan will have his half day nursery class,sent him to school in the morning ,while inside the car, I touched his forehead and feel slight warm and he did sneeze few times in the morning. I thought he still looked fine,so let's him go to school to have some fun there.
Unfortunately, around 8.40pm, My MIL gave me a call and told me that the teacher actually phoned her to inform that RYAN was not doing well...eyes kept have tears and runny nose, body started to get warm...OH...not a good sign, and my heart was beating fast when I heard this bad news...I knew...Ryan was getting SICK again. Since he has a fever,probably he got sore throat again.
Faster rush to fetch Ryan home and when I saw my poor boy so weak..my heart was so pain.
But I did not rush him to paed,let him eat medicine that I standby at home and see how it goes.
Fever started to come down and he has his nap around 12noon...I kept monitoring his body temperature and around 2pm, it seemed his body started to get warm again,but he still sleep
soundly. Since Dr.Law still opened till 4.30pm, I woke Ryan up and we went to Dr.Law for medication. Bingo...throat bit swollen,but no ulcers...Doc gave antibiotic and fever medicine.
As for flu medicine, I did not buy because I have 1 bottle standby at home.

After back home, Ryan felt hungry and I cook noodle for him and he walloped whole plate clean.
His body temperature still remain around 37.3....but he still look active and talkactive.
During dinner time, his body temperature started to raise up and at 7pm, I gave him another dose of fever medicine....Hopefully, his fever will go down...and Yes...it really went down and he
back to normal..can play and ride his bicycle,but no appetite on rice,only around 9pm, he told me he felt hungry and I gave him some bread and drank his Enfa as usual.Not to forget, drank plenty of water too.

That night, we slept late...around 11pm, Ryan's started to feel tired and his temperature has raised up to 39.This time, I chose to put suppository to bring down his fever.The whole night, I was not sleep well...every hour, I would wake up and monitor Ryan's condition..the worst is after suppository,his fever went down for 2-3 hours and it came back (totally different from normal situatio). Not to wait, I woke Ryan up and I fed him fever medicine, pray hard that his fever would went down. It did....he slept till next morning 8am,and his fever never came back...maintaining below 37.

Only around 2pm this afternoon...I touched his forehead and felt slightly warm,measured 37.2 and it was almost his nap time. Fed him fever + antibiotic medicine and lastly he slept at 3pm.
While I am writing this post, Ryan is still in his dreamland. Really pray hard that his fever won't come back again.....and Hope Ryan will get well soon.

Animal Set

*Backdated post*

Another new toy for Ryan......It is " an animal set".

It seem last month Ryan has been getting more than one set of new toy...This animal set is a gift from daddy. He saw it from school and kept mentioning to me that he wanted an animal set at home toy.

After been nagging for about a week....daddy decided to buy it for Ryan and not to mentioned, Ryan was so happy.

After playing for few days, I noticed this animal set has sat inside the plastic bag and today, I took it out for Ryan to play again.

I noticed Ryan easily get bored with his toy,so I played a trick to keep some of his old toys,and a few weeks later, I will take it out for him to play again and he definitely love to play with that toy .Or else, I have to keep buying him a new toy which is not a good solution and also not the right way to pamper him.

You guys may be wondering...what is Math Start ?...

A quote from the author Stuart Murphy on the Math Start series of books;
'The MathStart books are about telling stories using pictures, words and math. Pictures are important because many children are visual learners. They learn new concepts and new ideas more easily through diagrams and models than through text and numbers alone. Words are important because kids like stories. Stories are a way to demonstrate mathematical ideas in contexts that kids care about and show how math is used in their own lives. Math, of course, because understanding and enjoying mathematics is an essential life skill.'

Big Blue Ball... Triple "B"

Today, Ryan another new toy from his Ah-Mah, a big blue ball (Should called as "triple B")....]He was so happy...!!

He has been asking me whether Ah-Mah did buy a ball for him as promised while I went to fetch him back from school just now and I said " I don't know" , so I told him to just wait till ]Ah-Mah(my mil) back home ,then he asked himself.

Oh after having his lunch, Just now Ah-Mah came back home with the big blue ball. Ryan was extremely happy when he saw this ball. He started to play around with the ball and I put him on top of the ball because the ball is super big and can support his weight,but Ryan scared..kept telling me..later he felt down.

Even during shower time, he wanted his ball to keep him accompany in the bathroom.

Okie...to let him happy, I allowed him to take in the big ball and we showered the ball too. Having so much fun in the bathroom.

After showering, he played with the big ball in the bedroom while I busy snapping some pictures. He did some cute poses in front of my camera and moving non-stop.So hard to capture nice pictures of Ryan nowadays.He just can't stand or sit still...like cacing(little worm) ....moving around.

It was time to nap and he demanded to sleep with his big ball. I noticed Ryan like to sleep with his new toys and it happened lots of time...sometimes he even hug his new toy sleep soundly.

But for this big ball,he is not able to hug it because it is super BIG for him.

My Big Baby...

Ryan has been asking me to let him bath using the bath tub which I have kept it in store room, I have stopped letting him use the bath tub since Ryan can walk well. Ryan wants to swim inside the bath tub.

Ok..since only that bath tub is big enough to fit him, I let him play water inside the bath tub and

he enjoyed it alot. He even took some of his toy & put inside the bath tub .

I let him have some fun there before I continue to bath him clean.

Although the bath tub is bit small for him to move around, but seeing his happy face playing with water, I also feel happy.

Maybe I should consider to let Ryan learn swimming in future.

I hate this BUG...

When cough bug strike one of us at home....I just hate it and wanna get rid of it.
Then here comes the MEDICINE to cure the cough and this time , Ryan is getting
cough bug again. These was his 3rd time getting cough bug for this year.
OMG....what happen to Ryan? He seem easily fall sick after attending nursery.
Should I consider to change him to another school?...Maybe...???
I guess Ryan has a poor immune system,that is why he is easily kena cough or flu bug.

Yesterday night, I noticed Ryan's voice started to change a little bit...not as usual and I
let him drink plenty of water to clear his throat.
I kept asking him whether he has a sore throat and he told me "NO NO",ok...at least, he still
has appetite to eat and stay active.
This morning, he woke up as usual...then I started to hear him cough with lot of phelgm.
Oh gosh.....Cough bug is attacking him. He did not cough often ,but then I can hear the
phelgm in his throat everytime when he cough.
Faster get him eat cough medicine and after sending him off to school, I rushed to Dr.Law's clinic to get a box of MUCOLATOR(medicine to clear phelgm)- it consist of 6 small packs and Ryan need to eat 2 packs per day. Most of the time, when Ryan was sick,...I will let him eat medicine that I have standby at home for at least 2 days, if show no recovery sign,only then I will bring him for a doctor. Sometimes, I even know what medicine the doctor is going to give...Oh...Mummy is a 'home doctor' too...that is because Ryan has been checked in to Dr.Law almost every month since he started his nursery class.

Hope after the home medication, Ryan will gets better...
Takecare everyone !!!

New Toy and New Sandal..

Ryan has been fancied on animal toy lately and yesterday he went back home with a

small tiger toy(That tiger toy is belong to school and I only knew he went put inside his bag when we reached home...Has reminded him not to bring back any toys belong to school..or else it will be a very bad habit).

So....today I decided to buy him an animal toy( a reward for being good boy at home), after fetching him back from school, we have our lunch at home first before heading to nearby supermarket to get the toy.

At first, Ryan took the animal toy and said " I want this",got lion,tiger,etc...but a moment later,

he felt more interested in the fishing set which hang on the rack and they are few type of fishing game set. At last , I asked him which one he prefer : fishing set or animal toy?.....

You guess.....what he want?....He said " I want fishing set", can play later which having his bath.

Okie..since he prefer the fishing set, he chose one of it and we went to cashier for payment.

Before we walked to the car, we passed by a small section which are having sales...everything in RM10 and it was crowded,but I managed to squeeze in and I saw this Mickey sandal...so cute, actually I have seen this sandal before in the Sunday Market,but then I did not buy it.

Lucky, I never buy that time because now the supermarket is selling even cheaper with the same design and material.(looks like crocs,but not crocs la..).I let Ryan try and he also like it.

Therefore, I Got a pair of new Mickey sandal for Ryan and I choose bigger size since current sandal he is wearing is in fine condition.

I did saw some t-shirt and short pant on sales too,but it was too crowded and I prefer to go back there again tomorrow morning myself,without Ryan.I can shop easily with Ryan tagging along.

So..tomorrow will be another shopping day for me.

**Happy weekend**
