Wind in the willow

Or rather it should be the "willow in the wind" that is making my cough ever so bad.

My cough started when Ryo had his last bronchitis, that was like 3 weeks ago. It was about to get better when I had a sniff of the Beijing air at the airport, and heck I was coughing really bad again. And now I am allergic to every dust, willow seeds or pollens in the air.

So I am forced to wear a mask whenever I am out, at this unfortunate swine flu period, I think I am a monster people choose to avoid.

The Big Birthday

That's the reason we came back Singapore for - to celebrate Ryo's great grandparents birthday.

Red

Ryo particularly likes red nowadays. If he wears red, he has to make the rest wear red as well.

And he handpicked which red shirt to wear for Ah gong and papa.

Bronchitis again!

Ryo is suffering from bronchitis again, this is the 4th time for the past half year, and the many more timeth since he was born.

He got it cos he jumped into the swimming pool soon after a rain... i think it's ridiculous when I heard it.

And now he has to take another course of antibiotics. The doctor recommended some preventive measures, like taking cod liver oil and the medicine Zaditen to take everyday!!!

Sometimes things like that made me regret coming back. Is it worth the while?

Mix up

Sometimes we tell Ryo it is a GUN,
sometimes we tell him 枪.
Now he calls it GIANG.

Tianjin 海河

As the name would suggest, this river in Tianjin meets with sea water. I've featured it previously but it looked different. There is a ferris wheel on the far left.



This few days, we can see the moon in broad daylight.

A visit from grand aunt

A grand aunt visited us in Tianjin, and Ryo was smitten by her. Day 1 he played with her and sat beside her during lunch. If you know Ryo, he must be in a super good mood to do this with anyone he haven't met before.


Day 2, as we were dressing up to go eat lunch with grand aunt again, Ryo told me he wanted to spray perfume. Ha ha this little fella is quite vain. At the restaurant he even asked grand aunt to smell his shirt.


If he can be this warm to everyone else.



* I found this photo of Ryo when he was about 8 months old. I think he looked super cute as compared to now... hahaha.
