Ooo-Jaa

Ooo-Jaa is the cutish sound we make which tickles our little baby. We enjoy making that silly sound, enjoy making that wide-mouth and silly face, enjoy the togetherness and enjoy the laughter. Ooo-jaa reflects my life's simple pleasures and a little snippet of my life.

Wedding

Attending a wedding function is never the same when bringing both kiddos along. My goodness, I think other than the bride and the groom, I was like THE most busy person in the ballroom. This was what happened in a span of 5 hours from the time we left the house to the hotel and back home... not even including what I had to do in the morning to get the two princessess bathed, fed and dressed up...

12pm - Left the house.. Fed Yuxi in car and she fell asleep after her feed, then 'entertained' Yule in car.
1245pm - Reached hotel... Yuxi still sleeping in her stroller, while Yule whining to be carried to see the bride at the reception area... then brought Yule to the toilet
1pm - Went into ballroom.. sat down.. didn't have chance to ask waiter for a drink and Yuxi woke up and she wanted to be out of  the stroller... so carried her out of ballroom for a walk while daddy 'entertained' Yule in the ballroom
130pm - Carried Yuxi back into ballroom and photo montage begins.. put Yuxi on my lap.. I carried Yuxi while daddy carried Yule during the march-in
145pm - First dish. Started eating with Yuxi on my lap.
2pm - Second dish, shark's fins.. yuxi making noise, carried her out of ballroom again
215pm - I came back to the ballroom, ate my shark's fins with yuxi on my lap... also ate the third dish, prawns, after daddy peeled them for me.. passed Yuxi to daddy
230pm - Daddy noticed yuxi pooped! Immediately, I carried her out with my big diaper bag (super unglam, I was wearing long dress somemore).. and seeing me walked out again, Yule cried out very loudly.. mummy mummy, I want to go! and cried...sigh, told her I'll be back quickly and walked out.
235pm - I went out of the ballroom and asked a hotel staff if there was any baby changing room.. was told NO! Walked around looking for a place for me to put Yuxi down to change her.. was about to walk to Marina Square (we were at Pan Pacific Hotel) Luckily a hotel staff was nice enough to lead me to a room which was set up for a workshop. I then placed Yuxi on the table which was meant for a projector!  Got her change and prepared milk for her.
250pm - I walked back to the ballroom with Yuxi and daddy took over to feed Yuxi.
3pm - Yule said she needed to go to the toilet.. once again I left the ballroom to bring her to the toilet.
305pm - Back into the ballroom. Seeing that I was not carrying Yuxi, Yule took the chance to stick to me. We played with baby Faith who was also at the same table with us. Yule was playing peek-a-boo with her while I took some pictures of them.
320pm - We decided that we got to leave soon for Yule's ballet class. Brought Yule to the toilet again.
330pm - Left the ballroom before the last dessert dish.
340pm - Back in car, and Yuxi was sleeping. Yule was tired, and asked me to tell her a story so she could sleep. Started telling her a story.
4pm - Yule fell asleep on my shoulders in the car.
415pm - Reached our carpark. Woke Yule up and daddy carried her home quickly to change her into her ballet attire while I walked Yuxi back home.
430pm - Reached home and wanted to get ready my breastpump, but Yuxi woke up. Carried her and rocked her.
5pm - Yuxi fell asleep. I settled down to pump. FINALLY....

After that I realised I really never ate much at the wedding since I was walking in and out so many times and was hungry and very thirsty. Called daddy who brought Yule to her ballet class to buy me 2 char siew baos.

A long and tiring day.... but we made it!
