Christmas in Singapore

Thursday 18th December 2008

This week has been another quiet week as I am still feeling unwell. I started with a fever again last Thursday and I am just about feeling better now. So, me and mummy have been keeping away from other babies so that I do not pass the lurgy on and so that I am better ready for the 14 hour flight this evening!! This has meant no swimming, no music, no playgroups and no coffee for mummy!!

The main event of the week was on Sunday when we had our Singapore christmas. The weather was lovely and warm which is not like Christmas, but it was a bit rainy, which apparently is normal. I had quite a few presents under the tree, which Santa had delivered early for me, although it was a slow process as I had to open one and go back to bed for a sleep as I was not well. The first present I opened had come all the way from Auntie Noelle in England and was a dressing gown for when I get out of the pool so I am snuggly and warm - although mummy has packed it to go to the UK as she says I will need it there. I also got presents from both of my grandparents - a walk on/ride on toy from the northern ones, which I helped daddy put together as you can see in the pictures and a ball popper from the southern ones, which is hilarious as it means mummy has to run around the lounge chasing balls, whilst I sit and point!! I got some other presents from mummy and daddy as well, but I will fill you in on them as I start playing with them - I have been to unwell to play properly this week.

The other main event was on Tuesday and a visit to the doctors (again). The verdict is a sore throat and ears and explains why I have not been eating. The lovely doctor said that I am allowed jelly and ice cream to make me feel better though - yummy!! We also bumped into Isobel there, who was having her jabs before flying off to the US for Christmas - so that was nice to catch up before we left.

Anyway, we fly off this evening. I am feeling better thanks to my magic medicine and am hoping to sleep for the whole flight!! Bring on the woolly jumpers and see you all soon,
