Hi everyone, my name is Naomi Chen Xuanning and you can call me Mimi for short. That's how Mummy always called me. By the way my Daddy's name is Vincent Tan and Mummy's name is Sally Ng.

I was born on 7th Jan 2008 by induction at Thomson Medical Centre after 40 weeks of gestation. My birth weight was 2.55kg with a length of 48cm and head circumference of 33cm.

With tender loving care from Daddy and Mummy I've grown!

My First Tui Na at Yu Guo

Yesterday Mummy & Daddy bought me to Yu Guo for Tui Na (massage). Yu Guo is a Chinese Physician Acupuncture & Physiotherapy Clinic that specialised in children massage. After much consideration Mummy decided to seek out Chinese treatment for my cough as the western medication which I been taking all these while don't really seems to heal my cough. Through recommendation from friends and Internet, Yu Guo was chosen. The other reason was also because for small children, Yu Guo don't prescribe oral Chinese medicine but instead they gave a "Yao Bao" (medicated power in a sachet) to band it around the waist so that it can be absorbed through the navel. This will reduce the chances of allergic reaction towards Chinese herb if any. Mummy was cautious nowadays ever since the previous incident of drug allergic.
At first I rejected it when the lady tries to massage for me. As usual I went through a series of crying before settling down. The massage was about half an hour an and at the end of it, I was kind of enjoying it. I will be going back again tomorrow. Although Mummy don't think that 3 sessions will completely stop my cough but hopeful continuous treatment will.

A trip to Hay Dairies Goat Farm

As Daddy was going to Batam for mission trip this week end, Mummy suggested that we went to stay at Nai Nai house. We arrived on Saturday afternoon and spent the night there. Xiao Su was at home and I enjoyed his company.
The next day, we went to Hay Dairies Farm to buy goat milk. This was my first trip and Mummy first trip also to a goat farm. We set off pretty early at around nine plus to be in time to watch the milking process. The place was very crowded because it's school holiday and also a lot of tourist group visiting. We watched the milking process together with explanation from the staff. Too bad they have stopped visitors from feeding the goats now. After that we bought a few bottles of the goat milk and went to IMM. Grandpa wanted to get new shoes so we shopped around before eating lunch at the Hong Kong cafe. After lunch we went back home but on the way Grandpa stopped by an optical shop to make new glasses. By then I was already snoring at the shop. Mummy said seems like Grandpa was into a new makeover.
It was a very enjoyable weekend for my family as we seldom went on a family outing together. It would be perfect if Daddy was around too. Nevertheless he came back to pick us up around four and we headed back home. Tired but happy.

Praise be to God

Mini was finally cleared of bronchitis. Praise be to God! After the review on last Saturday, Dr Ang said that she has recovered. Wow what a good news that we have been looking forward to.
As such we decided to bring her to our cell gathering at Pasir Park that evening. It has been a long time since we had any outing and we really had a good time. Check it out. For more shots, visit Zayden's blog :)
