after Steven informed me that USS is open daily including weekends from 7pm to 10pm to the public at only SGD5 per person.  But excluding the rides and shows.. we decided to make a special trip down today just to explore the area, take some photos and buy some souvenir gifts.  However, turns out that we were refused entry at the entrance and the security guard informs us the the USS is only open till 10pm on only friday and saturday.. which makes all of us disappointed.. we have intended to enjoy ourselves and take some decent photos together with my sis, bro in law and my dad .. anyway.. we will try to make another trip down next week or a suitable time in the near future.. not until i made a personal call to inquire the USS about the parking charges and entrance fee and opening times first.. made a wasted trip today and wasted SGD 8 on parking just for that hour itself.. i thought i have seen the parking to be at SGD 6 per entry after 7pm.. nonetheless.. 

to his Daddy!  Until Daddy felt so 'suffocated'.  Cepheus would stick to his daddy like bee is to honey whenever Daddy is insight, and when he is not in his sight, he will look for mommy.. strange enough, although mommy has been the 'black-faced' party since he is young (although i quit being black face now), Cepheus is scared of daddy than mommy.. Daddy used to be very 'laxed' over Cepheus when young.. however, as he grew older and get more and more sticky.. daddy start to lose his patience and felt suffocated at times.. he started to throw temper at Cepheus when Cepheus did something not to his liking.. and strange enough, it works.. Cepheus will pause and dare not misbehave or even start to cry at times when Daddy raised his voice and he seems to sense 'oh shit, what have i done wrong?'  The situation is very similar to Angeline's boy kenji who is probably a year older than Cepheus.  Kenji treats his daddy like a super idol and will often stick to him when he is in sight and when daddy is outstation or not around then he will stick to Angie.. which makes Angie felt very much like a substitute.. and similarly, Kenji is more scared of Daddy than of Mommy.. hmm kids nowadays seem to have changed temper.. no longer needs a parent to be black face and another to be white faced.. what they are most scared of is the person they like most turns angry at them and so that person can be a white and black faced together... easier job off the other party isnt it!

Out of no reasoning, since saturday morning, Cepheus refuse any milk from Saturday onwards.  Anything in the cup that contains water or some other liquids he will drink but not milk.  It seems like he is rejecting milk itself this time and not the bottle or cup or whatever.

i tried to 'sleepfeed' him again but in vain.  Again he reject milk and reject to suck even when he is 'sleeping'.. i wonder is it a ploy at all.. for us to stop sleep feeding him and then start to feed him by cup and then all of a sudden, he refuse milk altogether.  Now we can neither sleep feed him or feed him when he is awake.  Ridiculous!  I am not going to waste time on you anymore!

he puked his milk twice over his sleep just now and keep waking up and crying at the slightest movement or drop of pacifier.. oh no.. wonder if i will get any decent sleep tonight..

Cepheus' intake of milk have increased back to normal the past few days by drinking from the straw cup. From 80ml to 100ml to 150ml per time now.  At least now we do not need to sleep feed him and he have a good decent peaceful sleep all he wants.  And he drinks pretty fast from the cup too, compared to sleep feeding, whereby he can take as much as 30 min just to finish 100ml sometimes.. which makes my arms aching after every feed... hahaha.. now feeding Cepheus is more relaxed, as he will cue to us if he wants to drink or eat and we will just feed accordingly.. Kudos Cepheus! Thanks for being a good boy! Mommy loves you muchie!

I don't care how many percent it is but its a Girl!!! hahaha.. when Dr Lawrance Ang scan over my tummy and finally told me calmly "from the scan, its a girl."  I thought i have heard wrongly!  Is it? Really? Is it a boy or a girl? "Didn't i just told you?  its a girl ..ya 70% will be a girl"  i was elated!!  I was hoping it was a girl.. but part of me keep telling myself it might be a boy.. but this pregnancy is so different to the first one that i kept thinking there must be a chance that it have to be a girl too .. anyways boy or girl i will still love it the same!  Another thing that worries me was any signs of any cystic mass that may occur on the second child again.. i told Dr Ang, did you check carefully?  My elder son was born with branchial cyst, are you sure this one is ok?  he said he was pretty sure and when scanning took a closer look to ensure that nothing was missed out.. i felt relieved..

Well, the pros of having a boy is that i do not intend to spend much on the second boy since there are lotsa pass me downs from Cepheus!  But now that it's a girl! whats the next action to take?? SHOPPING!!! kekeke.. its time for spending again!

Next month will be the detailed scan already at 5th month... hopefully the scan did by Dr Ang today is correct and that it is indeed a girl.. however, even if its a boy, no worries, cos mummy will still love ya! and you can fight with your elder brother!

Having a girl have its pros and cons too, having to worry about the growing up is the most stressful and worrying part for having a girl.. compared to a boy .. who can be more garang..

well well well.. its going to be a girl and mummy will be busy dolling you up!  it will be fun to see a little ferris and a little xiaoping running around in the house very soon! kekekeke
