The Unbalanced Libra..

I took half day off from work today cause of an appointment I had with the dermatologist at Changi Hospital.

About a month ago, this huge ass pimple on my chin turned into acne, and when i applied this Clinique acne cream on it, it became inflamed.  So i went to the polyclinic and got a referral letter to Changi Hospital.

Anyway, before i went for my appointment, I met up with my Japanese customer for lunch at Great World City Crystal Jade.. Spent the whole hour talking about our children and sharing tips on child care etc.. This was the same guy that had shown interest in me for some time.  He often send me text messages saying things like he is very happy to meet me, he will be happy to be my husband etc.  It was harmless so I never really think much about it. Besides, i never reply.  But today, it got bad.  First, he wanted to send me to the hospital.  Even though his office is just across Great World and Changi hospital is all the way in the east.  Then when we were riding down the escalator, he stand so close to me that his arm touch mine, and he brushed against my buttocks a few times.  And because the escalator is only so big for the two of us, I had to stand slightly sideways at an awkward angle.  He walked me to the entrance to wait for the shuttle bus, then kept standing so close to me!  I hopped on the first bus that came, even though it was the wrong one!  Sigh.. Looks like I cannot meet him anymore.. Either that, or I have to meet him together with K..  If not who knows what he might do next.  So daring this Japanese man!  And he is married with a son!  It's not worth it to have this kind of customer.. I rather not have the money.. So that was the first humiliation of the day... = (

At the hospital, the doctor prescribed some cream for my acne and some clinical sunblock to prevent further pigmentation.  I will need to go back again in 2 months' time.  After the hospital, i went home, spoke to Bria for a while, before heading to Takashimaya for my free haircut at Kim Robinson.. 

It's been at least 3 years since I last cut my hair at Kim Robinson.  Mainly because it is too expensive and high class for me. So when i knew they were giving away free haircuts, i jumped at the opportunity.. I am full of compliments for them now! Firstly, their outlet at  Taka is SOOOO nice!!  When i went inside, I felt like I was going into a spa rather than a hair salon!  Plus, they served an extensive list of beverages from cappuccino to milo. I had iced honey lemon.. 2 glasses some more! = P  My hairstylist was also very professional. He did a good job, not like anyhow do just because it's free..  Plus, they are not pushy at all.  When i was done, they just ask if i want to buy some hair wax or hair accessories.  They have very nice hair clips and hair band.  But one black hairband $90 loh, so i just told them i am not interested.  And they never ask me again.  Lastly, they gave me a lot of discount vouchers for my next hair appointment.  I left an extremely satisfied customer. So now, my hair is short, and super light!Although i will need some time to get used to my new look.. Think K will freak out when he comes back from KL on Thursday.. = )

After my haircut, i headed home, picked Bria and C up and headed to Parkway for dinner and some grocery shopping.. On the way home, we took a bus cause the taxi queue was ridiculously long.  On the bus, nobody gave us their seat for me at first, even though i was carrying Bria in my baby carrier and wobbling unsteadily.  One bus stop later, i got a seat beside this auntie.  She started making small talk, asking me how old Bria was and who is taking care of her etc.. She kinda pissed me off, cause she kept asking why I engaged a maid to take care of my baby instead of a nanny or an older relative.. It's like she don't understand when I told her I had no choice cause all our parents are working.  She just kept harping on how small Bria was.  Not like most 4 month old babies she's seen.. She said maids don't know how to feed babies properly.  I told her nannies are also outsiders so no difference.. Sigh.. on hindsight, i don't even know why i bother to explain my situation to her.  I finally found out that she is a nanny, cause she told me the babies she took care of are all very healthy and chubby.  I couldn't take it anymore, so I said to her: "I think my baby is very cute an very healthy.  And the doctor thinks likewise too."  After that, she kept quiet and pretended to sleep.  So irritating.. 

What a bad day!  Both Bria and I suffered some form of humiliation today.... We miss K!! = (

Bria turned 4 months on Monday. She celebrated her 4 months first with a 5 in 1 vaccination at the polyclinic, after a 2 hour wait in the queue with Daddy and C. Then subsequently, she had a slight fever.  Poor girl!

I couldn't really concentrate on my work the whole day.  Kept messaging and calling K to ask him how Bria was doing.  Still couldn't believe they had to wait more than 2 hours just to get the stupid vaccination.  K told me that the doctor they saw that day was very good.  Cause he know I already condemned all the staff at the stupid polyclinic.  The doctor was an Indian lady and she provided a pretty good consultation session, giving advice to K on Bria's cradle cap, and prescribing some medication for her eczema.

Bria's temperature kept fluctuating. When I reached home that day, I took her temperature and she was okay.  So K and I brought her to the airport to really celebrate her 4 months with her.  We went to the Terminal One food court for dinner, then brought her to the viewing gallery to see the aeroplanes...  She seemed to enjoy it cause she did not fuss at all. Then before we left the airport, we brought Bria to a few toy shops and played with her a bit with all the soft toys.. = )

Some photos we took at the airport:

Yesterday, I worked from home so that I could be with Bria and monitor her temperature.  It was a priceless day.  I missed my maternity leave days when I can be with Bria the whole day and still get paid!

While playing with Bria in the car this afternoon, I saying the alphabets to her.. 

Instead of the usual "A for Apple", i thought of the following:  "A for Adeline", "B for Bria", "C for Charina", which is essentially all our names!  But I got stuck cause K's name is starting with K.  Then C said: "D for Daddy!"  So now our family has our very own ABC.. haha.. 

My helper is so smart.. = )

Ever since i started my first day of work on Monday, i have been hoping and hoping for the weekend to come..

But before i know it, the weekend is over! So sad.. = (

However, K and I did had a good weekend. Spent lots of time with my baby Bria!

On Saturday morning, K and I brought Bria and C to Suntect City to attend this Android workshop organized by HTC.  We were there at 10am so there wasn't many people in the mall.. C and Bria sat at a ToastBox near the workshop room for about an hour of so while K and I attended the seminar.  It's basically a workshop by HTC and M1 promoting the new HTC Legend.. We had signed up for the seminar after hearing that they were giving away a $500 discount voucher off the handphone.  Plus, K told me only 20 over people had signed up so our chances were pretty high.

The workshop was crap and not really informative at all.  But I think it's a really good marketing gimmick.  Cause everyone had a chance to win the discount voucher.  Basically, they put in vouchers into a big plastic box, and went around the room for everyone to draw one from the box.  The lowest is $50, highest is $500, so everyone will get something for sure.  The catch is we have to purchase the phone on the same day in order to get the discount.  K and I both got the $50 voucher.  After doing our sums, plus the fact the my Samsung is driving me crazy these days with its frequent auto shut downs, I bought the phone.  So now I have a new phone to play with! = )

We headed home after lunch, and following that, it was just K and me on a house viewing spree... We viewed about 5 houses on Saturday, then went home and bring Bria to my Grandma's house for dinner.

On Sunday morning, we brought Bria to east coast for a short walk before having breakfast at Macdonald's.. She was so "kuai" for the whole time I could actually finish my entire Big Breakfast while carrying her in my Baby Bjorn carrier! = )

We went shopping for groceries at Parkway after that before heading home.. 

For the past 2 days, I've also been bathing Bria every morning.. Felt so deprived that I couldn't bathe her the whole week!  While drying her after her bath, I decided to play with my new phone, and took a photo of her..   So sexy right my baby!  haha..

K and I had the whole weekend planned already.. and we will be bringing Bria out for quite a lot.. Hopefully she can tahan and not fuss too much..

I already planned what Bria will be wearing.. In fact, just today, i bought a really cute soft headband for her.. Saw a baby wearing it yesterday, and was so determined to get one today.. Walked the whole Vivocity but couldn't find it, so asked around, searched online and got it!

Here is a picture of the headband.. I bought the pink and red non lacy ones.. Bria will look absolutely gorgeous with it!
