Moving To A Promise "ROOM"

Last two weeks was a busy weeks for Chong’s family as we were packing and getting to move into another 'promise land'. Promise Land? No la, I am just exaggerating.... It's more like a promise room at Garcia’s 三 姨 house.

Ya, we are permanently renting out our Pasir Ris house and currently finding refuge at my sister-in-law house at Potong Pasir.

I had a mixture of feeling. Excited to move into the new house, but quite sad and emotional about moving. Lina and I had this house decorated with many memories. We were pregnant with Gracia, and Pasir Ris house was to be our celebration of new life. Many beginning starts from there, and we walked through the foundations fantasized where we would put the cots, the babies’ things etc. However, there are bad memories I do not want to recall from it too...

My agent took less than two weeks to find me a suitable tenant. I admit it was quite a fast and furious act and I still couldn't settle down my heart if I had made a wise choice or not (like Moses, I need faith to move to another promise land/room). There are string attach and many area to consider, like the traveling time to my morning newspaper distribution and my mum not staying with us(as a result, I have to compromise my sleeping time to compensate for the extra journey ferrying Gracia to and fro) Oh God, give me 48 hours a day please.

However, there are also advantages staying at PP since it is pretty near city area. I will travel shorter distance to Redhill for my hp delivery and Lina save time travelling to NUS too. Furthermore, my sister and brother-in-law get along pretty well with Gracia and adore her very much and will sometime help us babysit while Lina can go take her shower without waiting for me to return home which was usually our practice in Pasir Ris.

There are surely a number of pros and cons if I want to list them down one by one. But most importantly is, we are not forced to made any decision to sublet our house, and if there is one reason why we want to made this changed, the reason would be improving our lifestyle and the well-being of our family.

Gracia to the dentist

Gracia teeth has becoming sharp as a result of her decaying front tooth, and this caused Lina unbearable nights when she breast fed her. We decided to do bring her to a dentist and see if there's any resolution to it. The dentist suggest only smoothing the sharper part because it's too young for a two years old to really do anything about it.


And Now there are a few things running around my head as I process Gracia decaying tooth at the age 2. The first thought is that is it because we didn’t do enough to help her have healthier teeth {I am thinking should we start brushing her teeth after every snacks, extreme?}. My second thought was that the dentists are only smoothing her from sharp teeth (that's to say, her decaying tooth will still spread), what if it spread all over her teeth.

And the most annoying part is my mum... keep describing her as wired, saying how come she only 2 years old and start having tooth decay, wired gal? lol....
I told her most probably due to breast feeding, but she insist no really that case since most folks from their generation also breast feed and don't seem to have such problem.... she insist Gracia is wired.... errrrr....

Anyway, we will try our best to prevent things for getting worst.
I'd recorded a video of the actual day when we brought her to the dentist, we didn't expect her to be so cooperative... take a look...
