The Sisters love this inflatable Pool which we bought, especially Kymber. The Pool also fitted in nicely to the Master Bathroom.

If mummy need to use the PC for a little while, the next best location to put Kymber into will be this inflatable pool, (hahah...) where she will be playing on her own or with Jie Jie Amber.

Mummy also make sure that the water level is keep low (somewhere between her ankle and knee) as well to keep them safe if they are playing alone. The bottom of this pool is also not slippery as such Kymber is also allowed to play by herself.

However if mummy or daddy is around to play with them, the water level will be slighter higher around their tummy when they are sitted.

Jesse happened to be in Singapore when they have their first try of this wonderful pool. Catch them in action.

Catch Kymber "Live"............Enjoy

Brief explanation.

This post is managed by AhQi Jiejie again. Kymber was so in love with camera recently. Once I got into Grandma's house, she would start randomly checking my bag for camera. And when she got it, she would try to on it and snapshot anything that got in her way. Below are some of the photos that she requested me to take for her. Enjoy(:

Oh yah, just to mention one thing. The lady in green was the one that Kymber always called 'AhKeng'. Got one of the photo was left with a big cross as my face looks stupid and wasn't ready. Kymber had a good shot! :D

The front cover of today New Paper have this heading "Little Girl's Big Toe Ripped Off" on how a 4 year old girl's rubber clog gets caught in escalator at one of Singapore Mall.

This topic and news bought back fresh memory that happened just less than a week ago on how Amber nearly lost her toes too. (The blog that I have posted on 2nd Oct).

This little girl from Japan unfortunately is not as lucky as Amber. Accordingly to the report, She was at the mall that day with her parent to shop for a magazine rack when they got onto an escalator on the second story. The girl stood alone on one of the steps, in between her mother in front and her father behind her. While they were about midway up the escalator, the girl turned to speak to her father, that was when her left foot got trapped.

She screamed and called out in Japanese : "Ma! Pain!".

Her mother noticed that her daughter's legs were twisted in an awkward position and shouted to her hushand :"Her leg!". Her father lifted her up, not realising her foot was trapped and it caused her big toe to be ripped off. Her left sock and shoe - a Crocs rubber clog - remained stuck in the escalator. All this while, the escalator kept moving.

When they reached the third storey, the couple's cries for help attracted a few shop owners and passers-by, one of whom called for an ambulance. Meanwhile, the girl sat on a chair offered by one of the shop owners, blood dripping from her open wound

Paramedics from the Singapore Civil Defence Force bandaged the wound on the way to KK Women's and Children's Hospital.

She underwent a one-hour long operation under general anaesthesia and was warded for two days. However doctors were unable to re-attach her toe, which the mall's maintenance personnel and mechanics from the escalator company took two hours to retrieve.

"The doctor said that the toe, the tendons, bone, skin and blood vessels, were too crushed, and that there was no way to sew the toe back on to her foot".

Doesn't all these looked and sound so very familiar to the earliest blog that I have posted? I felt so very sorry for the little girl and her parent, this is very unfortunate to happen and can definitely understand the worried, pain and psychological impact of the incident on their child. Afterall, I could not get to sleep even after the incident.

Old Video Of The Little Ones

Found a numbers of old pics and video taken some times back for both Amber and Kymber and hopefully for the next few posts I would be able to " turn back the clock" to blog these pics of theirs.

And in here, you would be able to see how much Amber have grown for the last 20 months since Kymber was born. From a little Jie Jie to a pretty K1 girl now. Infact I felt that Amber have shown a lot of improvement in many other areas too, Her English, Mandarin, Art as well as her physical built. Well in the video she can still be spot in her short short hairstyle as compare to her lovely long hair kept currently :).

Not forgetting of course how much Kymber have grown as well. From an infant to the little rascal now. She used to look so innocent like an angel, but now, OMG she is full of little ideas from eating, sleeping, outing and sweet talking the elderly.

A NARROW ESCAPE FOR AMBER

We have our big state of fright last night at Downtown east. Amber shoes got caught with the escalator and suddenly she was screaming so loud, Daddy rushed to hold her but her shoes was caught tight at the side of the escalator and there was no way that he could pull her out, I tried to pull her leg but could not as it was stuck with her shoes. Situation was so chaotic and Daddy repeatedly shout of STOP STOP have weaken me. I rushed down to stop the escalator and shouting to people who have at this time being drawn to the attention from us.

I was so very very scared that her toes got stuck, could not pull it out at all and during this time Amber have been screaming . I do not know what was running down my head as I do not want to hurt her further.

At this time, one of the restaurant manager handed me a pair of scissor cos she thought Amber’s dress was caught. I just grabbed and hurried back to cut her shoes, not knowing what to think of and was afraid at the same time to see how her little toes could looks like being caught in that situation. Amber at that time was still very sober of what is happening and she shouted to me not to cut her leg :) when she saw me approached her with the pair of scissor in my hand. Daddy and myself assured her that we are just trying to cut her shoes to release her.

GOD MUST HAVE CAME TO HELP HER cos she was released from the very tore shoes unhurt. The shoes was all stuck and damaged. Looking at it you would not have imaged how badly her toes is gotten be hurt, I just do not have a camera to take down the picture how badly stuck the shoes is.

During his time, Amber shed no tear at all. I guessed she must have a very rude shocked. We were really really gladful and lucky because I thought I have lose my daughter’s toes to the escalator ;(

When we were back at the chalet, Amber fall asleep soon since she have been feeling very tired. However both Daddy and Mummy could not get to sleep, we were tossing in the bed. Later Daddy and Mummy confessed that the scene are being replayed in their mind and they could not get to sleep at all.
