Bad Luck

My son was soooo BAD LUCK recently…. One after another bad luck thing happened to him.

A week ago, he fell on the bed and his ear hit the sharp edge of the bed frame. The ear was badly injured and it was swollen and blue black. Luckily, he didn’t tear his ear apart.

Few days later, he lost appetite and suffered from high fever for few days. I took an EL and brought him to see doctor. I waited for him to wake-up first and then called-in to make appointment. At 10.30am, I called-in and I got No. 38 and it was serving No. 1. I was asked to go by 12 noon. I left home around 12.15 assuming that it was going to take time to serve 38 patients. I reached around 12.30pm and they were serving No.39. OMG, I scared to be scolded again and check if I could chip-in. The receptionist rushed me in. The radio doctor asked a long list of questions in few seconds until I couldn’t digest it properly and didn’t answer it accordingly. Did he got fever, diarrhea, vomit, flu, drooling a lot,….? I felt so stressful until I forgot to ask him questions. He was impatient with my slow answers. It only took 5 minutes to finish the checking and questioning. My son is allergic to volron / voltron (a fever relief medication) and it was the same family with a sore throat pill. He only got fever syrup. The fever came and went off every few hours for a continuous three days. The fever went up in the middle of the night, making us hard to sleep.

When he was recovered from the fever, he fell again and he accidentally bit his lips. It was bleeding a lot. We quickly applied sugar on his lips. The bleeding stopped but the lips were swollen.

Poor thing!:(

City Boy

I love to bring my children to stay close to the nature. On my recent trip back to Kuantan, I made an effort to bring my son to the beach in the hope that he would enjoy playing on the beach. I purposely bought him a set of sand sculpting tools. When I took off his slippers and put him down on the beach. He screamed and cried so loud because he felt so uncomfortable with sands sticking on his feet. The strangers nearby were curious why he cried. It was so embarrassing. I didn’t know that I’d raised a city kid. Sigh…

I was so disappointed. I still remembered vividly how I enjoyed my old time on the beach. I used to have picnic with my friends on the beach with all the good barbecue food – chicken wing (my friend’s mum made), sausages and others and we spent half a day there chit-chat and play games. For some reasons, we hardly swim in the beach. Strange? We didn’t mind the hassles of carrying a lot of heavy stuff - the barbecue stove, charcoal, heavy stuff and the food with strong wind blowing sands on your face and it made you difficult to walk forward (the strong wind was against you). It was so enjoyable. Those days!!!

Mother’s Day

Seriously, I’ve never thought of celebrating it for myself. :P Nor did I realize that I’m already a mother of two kids. Before I got married, I celebrated it ONLY with my mom. Now, I need to celebrate it with my MIL as well. This year was an exceptional one when my SIL organized a pot-luck dinner at her house for my MIL. For all you know, we have become so used to just go there and eat but it wasn’t this round. What to prepare???? With two kids around, I have more excuses NOT to cook. We ended-up buying KFC and a cake. Mother’s day was really a big event where the KFC outlet was packed with take-away customers. We waited for 45 minutes and we were already late for the dinner. No choice. We asked them to start first. We only arrived around 8.30pm. Damn hungry!!! Just wallop anything available on the table with my little girl on my lap. She never gave me a good time to enjoy my food. She didn’t want others to carry her. She screamed and cried so loud that everyone tried to stay FAR FAR away from her. So terrible!! J In fact, she was too tired and wanted to sleep.

When it came to cake-cutting, everyone was rushing me to cut the cake together. I still didn’t realize I could be one of them. There were four mothers lined-up in front of the cake including my MIL. J Hehehe….. This is the first time in my life that I get to cut a mother’s day cake.

On Sunday, we thought of buying MIL a dinner. At first, we drove to a famous roasted duck and curry fish head noodles in Tmn Ehsan, full house. Turned to Sri Sinar Le Le Heong, full house again. Abandoned plan. On the way back, we ordered some food through phone at a nearby restaurant.

We had steamed fish, Thai style chicken, Kam heong lala, home-made tauhu for mother’s day at home. Luckily, it tasted so good. It costs less than RM50. Darn cheap and convenient. :P Lessons learned. Never celebrate Mother’s Day on the actual day and never leave home after 7pm on festivities.

Heat Wave

The heat wave has been disturbing my babies daily routine. They could no longer sleep soundly for their afternoon nap. They changed their nap time to the evening when it is not so hot. My little girl sweat a lot and the sweat is dripping and her hair is soaked in sweat. She will only sleep happily and longer when I turn on air-cond for her at nite.

The funny thing is that my FIL started to demand for air-cond after more than 70+ years using fan. He couldn't sleep at nite and took shower few times a day to cool-off his body. He couldn't sleep now without the air-cond. What a big change in life??

I think the global warming is getting worse when more and more people turn on their air-cond.

My Little Trainer

My son always wanted to grab everything from my daughter. This is how he hijacked her walker.

But, at the same time, without our notice, he has made a good trainer for her. To our surprise, she learns to master the walker much earlier than my son. For a few attempts, she can walk freely in a walker in all directions. This is how her littler trainer took her for a spin.
