Visit to the clinic..

Today was a tiring but fruitful day for Mummy and me.. Morning at 11 plus, Mummy woke me up from my peaceful sleep and brought me to Kinder Clinic for my 2nd vaccination and development assessment.. As usual, it is a walk-in consultation as Mummy could not make any appointment due to Dr Tan's busy schedule (Dr. Tan is my Pediatrician). Walk-in consultation means that we have to WAIT for a long long time, at least one or two hours.

After reaching the clinic, i became very irritated as i was awaken prematurely. I was crying away when the nurse was weighing me and measuring my height (or should i say length?). I am now 6.012 kg and 61cm tall (height might be a bit inaccurate as i was kicking away). As compare to my birth weight which was 3.070kg, i am almost two times heavier now.. After that was a long wait again.. Apparently Dr Tan is not in his room at that moment and Mummy also did not ask the nurse when is he coming back.. So while waiting, i had my nap and after that woke up for my milk.. After i just finish my milk, it was just nice for my turn to see Dr Tan..

Dr Tan did a physical checkup on me, basically just carrying me to stand up and checking on the lump on my groin which is caused by the BCG. Dr Tan then told Mummy that i was doing very well... Very strong neck support which not all 3-month old baby has.. Got very bright eyes and good eye contact.. Very active and "talkative" (and also very loud voice) so doctor ask Mummy izzit got a lot of people talk to me at home.. But the fact is i am naturally so talkative cos if got nobody talk to me, i will also talk on my own and find people to talk to me... Haha.. Dr. Tan say i got very good stimulation cos i will react to things and voices around me..

I was very guai throughout the whole consultation except when Dr Tan is going to inject for me then i started crying, even before he poke the needle in.. But doctor was very experienced and finish the injection in 1, 2 seconds.. After my consultation, i was given a "treat" by the nurse... Its actually the Rotavirus vaccine .. Mummy then proceed to pay the bills and it was so Expensive.. About $283+.. Mummy nearly fainted.. Keke.. Just the Rotavirus dose itself is already $95.. -_-"

By the time me and Mummy reached home is already going to 3pm.. Mummy then help me bathe and let me have my afternoon nap.. About 5 plus, Ah ma reach home after her medical appointment and play with me.. Mummy was busy packing both of our stuffs as we going gai-gai with "Gan Ma" Jessie, then afterwards to Daddy's house.. Its always difficult for Mummy to bring me out alone as got a lot of things to bring..

We reach AMK Hub at about 7 plus in the evening to meet Gan Ma.. Mummy and Gan Ma then wanted to go eat dinner so they decided to go to Ichiban Sushi.. The queue there was so long but anywhere else was just as crowded therefore they decided to just queue loh.. They actually wanted me to stay asleep while they have their dinner but while queuing i wake up liao.. But i was guai and did not cry.. Stay lying on my stroller and play.. After a long wait, we finally got a table.. Just when we were settling down, i started crying as its time for my milk.. So Mummy feed me using one hand and the other hand flipping the menu..

When the food finally arrives, i started throwing my tantrum.. As mentioned earlier on, my voice is so loud so Mummy got no choice but to carry me out of the restaurant if not everyone will be looking at me.. But even carrying me in the shopping mall and pacifying me to sleep also attracted a couple of people looking at us.. So after Gan Ma finish her food then she help Mummy to carry me around while Mummy can finish her food.. It was naughty of me to make both Mummy and Gan Ma so tired.. We then headed home after that and it was so kind of Gan Ma to accompany us back to Queensway when she see that Mummy got so many things to carry and scared Mummy cannot cope.. And also thank you Gan Ma for your present..

P/S: Mummy forgot to take photo for us when we are out.. Hopefully she will remember the next time round.. =P
