Cold Storage Kids' Run

I jumped out of bed bright and early this morning, cos i was really excited to be going for my run at last!
Since Baby Bone was still not well, he had to stay home while the rest of us headed down to the Padang.

Mummy and me in high spirits

Check out our cool tees!

Thumbs up for a great run!

Conserving energy before the race

Mummy and me at the starting point, just before flag off

Walking to the starting lineup

And then we were off!

Oops someone fell! Kaypoh me was craning my neck to see the fracas

Still going strong at the halfway mark

Huff Puff...I can do it!

Heah! Im getting tired Mummy!
With Daddy and Mummy's encouragement, I perservered and made it to the finish line, together with all the other kids!


Almost there!

Yay! I did it! Im so proud of myself!

CHeck out my finisher's medal

Im very proud of it, ill show it to everyone who comes to our house! Hehe

Some healthy snacks after my good workout

Bad flu bug

Jie Jie brought home a nasty bug from school and i ended up being very sick for almost a week. It all started with a cough on Monday, and Mummy didnt think too much of it till i developed a high fever on Wednesday morning. She brought me to the GP downstairs who inserted a suppository into my butt.
Poor me, i was screaming throughout the entire procedure.

Mummy started to get really worried when my fever didnt subside even after the suppository. Usually that bullet will work its magic almost immediately. My fever stayed persistently high the entire day and night, and Mummy was worried sick, sponging me through the night.

Cool water bath, standard operating procedure for us kids whenever we have a fever

The height of my flu came on Thursday night when no amount of rocking, patting and carrying would sooth me. My nose was a drippy mess and my hacking cough sounded really bad.
That night, my poor parents camped downstairs beside me on my mattress, cos they didnt want my coughs and cries to wake Jie Jie up. (She did wake up eventually, and quietly crept downstairs. Mummy got a huge fright when she saw this little, dark figure standing by the stairs. Now that was funny...haha...)
In the end, my entire family spent the night beside me, downstairs in the living room.

Mummy and Daddy brought me to the paediatrician on Friday morning, cos my flu didnt seem to abate. The doc diagnosed that i had mild bronchiolitis and ordered a round of the nebuliser immediately.

Surprisingly i was an angel throughout the procedure, quietly allowing them to administer the gas mask and i didnt fidget nor protest one bit.

I felt much better after the pd's meds and nebuliser and by Friday night, i was 80% back to normal. That night, my parents had a much better sleep, i only woke up twice!

Saturday was spent at home cos i still wasnt totally well.


Im seeeeeck! Hallo? See Mummy doesnt care, she's reading the papers!


Hmph, i shall just treat myself!

Hmmmm sounds bad....


Ah what the heck...maybe eating the stethoscope will help!

Jie Jie having great fun creating a masterpiece on the easel

And me having great fun defacing it...

Oops...i didnt do it! It wasnt me!

Daddy and Mummy decided to take us for a walk at the Reservoir since we were cooped up in the house the whole day, especially me...it was the whole week!

Wah! Check out that huge frog!!

See! Im feeling much better already

Cheers to good health!

Training in progress

Im up for the first competitive run of my life, thanks to my sports junkie parents!
And i aint complaining, in fact i cant wait to watch my fellow runners fade away in the dust kicked up by my blistering pace! Haha...


Mummy will be accompanying me, so she gets a t shirt too! Daddy will be our official photographer

Here we are, at Tampines stadium where im training hard.

Even Baby Bone, who wasnt feeling very well, turned up to support me

My coach and me

Mummy: She is amazingly fit! Daddy was breathless after only one round of the track but Terelle was still prancing about and chattering endlessly! And she has much shorter legs than Daddy and so must take more steps! Surprise surprise!

We may just have a runner in the making...

Nobody by the Wonder Kids

Here we are doing our spoof of "Nobody" by the Wonder Girls. In case you're wondering, it's this hit song by a Korean all girl group that's taking the dance world by storm now. It was even featured in yesterday's Sunday Times!

Mummy: Watch out for Baby Bone's breakdance moves at the end of this clip

So do we qualify for a talent show? Hahaha...
