Cold Storage Run 2013

Last yesr this date, I paid and signed up for Janelle but she was down with HFMD and we had gave it a missed. This year we were in the Cold Storage Run 2013 under the special needs category sponsors and invited by Singapura Finance. Rainbow Center arranged for the signed up and collection of the run pack, we just need to be there for the run. Rainbow Center even start up training for kids who are took part but not for Janelle. As Yishun branch only has 2 student signed up, hence no teacher focus are there. Although she came in last, but i'm so proud of her completed her run.

As it was sponsored, the t-shirt that gaven wasnt in the right size, so i gave janelle to wear her last year's t-shirt, and daddy is running with her.

Singapura Finance even catered breakfast for us.

Us waiting at the waiting area, we are the last category to go and is under a super hot sun.

 Ready!!! Get Set !!!

Not sure is Daddy there to push Janelle to rush or Daddy there to slow Janelle down. :) it seem that it's Janelle pulling daddy.....

Teachers from Rainbow run with Janelle, encouraging her... jia you... jia you

And ta-da.... Janelle crossed the finishing line.

Yesh. She made it. *love her rosy cheek*

So proud of her.

At the end of the race, i wanted to collect the goodies bag, anncement came out and says all goodies bag had redeemed. So we are there, waiting, and waiting, run and came home with a medal and a cup of milo. :P but afterall, we enjoyed the run. This maked Janelle virgin 800m run. More to come??? :)

Chruch Camp 2013 - Tioman

This is our planned trip since last year to spend our 2013 June Holiday in Tioman Island - Malaysia with church. After much consideration on the travel options:
1. by coach then ferry from mersing, total traveling time is about 7 hrs
2. drive up then take ferry from mersing, total traveling time is about 7 hrs
3. Take a 40 min flight but with additional cost

we decided to take #3, spend abit more but to have a shorter travelling time, less tired, managable especially with Janelle. And this had made Janelle virgin flight experience.

Happy Janelle cant wait to head off to the airport. She even helped to push her luagge to the main door.

Bringing 2 kids on flight, Janelle is having fun being "push" around in the airport.

This is how Janelle spend her 40 min on flight. Praise God, no sweat. But hus forbid me to go near them as Janelle is a ultra bully to Mummy. She always behave so much better when only with daddy.

After married for coming 6.5 years, first time ppl addressing me as Mrs Yvonne Gan.

This is Church Camp, so we spend our morning and evening together with all Church members for prayers and services. RECONNECT, RECHARGE and RECONNECT.

And our Church is a bottom up Church, so we are given time off in the afternoon to spend time with our family. And with Janelle, we spend our afternoon taking afternoon nap and 2 afternoon in the sea, swimming with the fishes and 1 afternoon in the swimming pool, playing slide. Indeed, We had a great time, helper having her break while mummy took over the role of mummy to feed her, bath her, play with her, taking care of her, while i gave my helper timeoff to have her meals, for her to explore with snoking .

This is a trip that 4 days 3 night without internet, praying in the morning, in the night to get myself recharge and reconnect with God also spending quality time with Janelle and Hus.



Mood of the week - Grey

Last weekend, hus did something that really distrubed me, even till now. I know that it's nothing serious, but i just cant accept it and i dont want to accept it. For the past few days, i have feeling like thousands knots in me, feeling very angry, very disappointed, very disrespect. I can understand why he need it, but i cant accept it. He flew off on monday, at least giving me some cooling period.

May God be in the center of our relationship.

Kaisu mama Yvonne

Kaisu mama Yvonne was worried for Janelle last week seeing her breakthrough of allergy rashes. Went many places trying to get purifier for her. No luck in local store, hence tried looking via online and even oversea. Getting friends who is in JB, HK, BKK to check on the store and price.  Hus even suggested to fly to BKK and hand carry the puirifer back since he has more than enough of free air ticket to exchange.

Critiea of Puirifer I'm looking for:
1. Purifier + Humidifer (Due to the dry weather, humidifer will come in better than a purifier only.)
2. HPEA filter
3. budget SG$300
4. able to cover a room size.

JB only sells puirifer without humidifer, and it's SOLD OUT too.
HK price is about the same with SG but will need to top up for the postage
BKK price had been mark up at least 30% more than SG due to taxes.
US price will be slightly cheaper but the deliver will takes longer time and also the voltage is another troublesome.

Comparing the prices and avaliabilities, ended i got a way beyond my budget purifier with humidifer from HK as that's the only model that fits into what i wanted except for the price and paid a $80 postage. Begger has no choice. Was kind of heart pain, but hus had assured that this will be a good buy. Not only for during the haze period, but it will continue to be used in our daily life to ease my nightly sinus and help us have a better sleep with better air condition especially in punggol area where construction is non-stop. Looking forward to receive my purifier today.

While waiting for puifier, bought "Aqueous Cream" to apply on Janelle to ease her redness on skin and also to act as a protection from contact of dust.It had ease her redness.

Husband says i'm hopeless when it comes to flight with others Q for purifier/masks etc. But managed to some masks from my colleague and friend for both adult and children. :P I didnt get much, only gotten 5 each as that's to prepare for the worse and to be used only going outdoor only when necessary. :) But did a special delivery of children mask to A for her nephew who i'm more worried over the weekend.

Guess dont need me to tell you how singapore reacted to the Haze, if you want to know more, you can read what the writer had wrote on Dumb and dumber singaporean reastions to the haze.  As a singaporean, i somewhat agreed and disappointed.

Was very gald that there are someone out there are not the dumb and dumber. They cooked green bean soup and sent it to homes over the weekend, helping the old folks. Saw this from my friend facebook

Stop looking at the negative and think positive.

PSI746

The haze is not over yet.


But how did the haze missed Singapore? Look at the map, winds just blew it north east like there is a huge fan blowing it away from Singapore. The Indonesian Minister said it takes a miracle to stop the haze. I thank God for his mercy on my country but we need to pray for our neighbours that He will stop the haze by sending us unprecedented rain in this dry season to extinguish the fires.

Singapore is having clearer sky (PSI 105)


but not so good for our Neighbour:

Singapore Haze 2013

Over the past one week, the air quality has drastically worsened and a strong burning smell can be detected across many parts of Singapore. Singapore air had been covered by smog which caused by illegal forest fires in our neighbour country - Indonesia's Sumatra island since last thrusday. The Pollutant Standards Index, Singapore's main measure for air pollution, surged to a record reading of 371, breaching the 'hazardous' classification that can aggravate respiratory ailments.

All masks and purifiers of all brands no matter what's the price tag had been wiped off by the 5th day of Haze. If the condition continue, Singapore Gov will shut down schools and some workplace.

With this Haze condition, i see how stupid singaporean can be. Netizen behind the computer are irrationality in blaming singapore government or even PAP about the haze. https://www.facebook.com/FabricationsAboutThePAP Bascially any unhappiness they faced, they blamed singapore government. Sometime i find it a joke and shame on their action, when they are using one finger to point at the singapore government, they have another fingers pointing to themselves. Let's face it, if you dont self help, what can government do?  personnally, i feel that xiaxue (a famous singapore blogger who netizen criticize her as bimbo) speaks more sense then anyone of them.

Had been staying indoor as much as possible, and yesterday saw Janelle dust allergy breakthrough and seeing redness rashes on her face and legs. Wanted to get a purifier for her yesterday night but no luck at all, all stock had been wiped off. Even aircon filter is also out of stock. Maybe i'm slow in re-acting. Now getting J to get it for me from hongkong and post it to singapore. Paying for a higher price for the seek of Janelle. Praying for heavy rain to wash away the haze.
