Umbrella Girl

Oh no, it's raining ! I gotta take shelter under the umbrella!

I am the MasterChef !

4 days before he turns 6 months old ......

Hi mum, can I have more toys to bite?

boo hoo ..... I can't eat the ice-cream, only "eye-power" ...

cough cough cough cough ............

Yes, yx is coughing ....... AGAIN.

Mummy Suqi actually recommend tui na at Yu Guo, but Kembangan is not too near and the queue is usually super long. Furthermore, given that she doesn't like people to touch her (even her own bro!!) would worsen the situation. Anyway, out of desperation, we brought her to Eu Yan Sang clinic at Rivervale Mall after hearing some good reviews from friends and also affirmation from mummy Ellice.

The TCM physician looked at her tongue, throat and palms before diagnosing that she had 风咳. She was given a week's dose of powder and the total cost $51.65 (inclusive of consultation which is $14). It is coming to a week and she is getting slightly better, hopefully she doesn't get into a relapse.

I understand that Chinese medication would take a longer time to recover as compared to the Western medication. As long as she recovers and builds up her immunity, I am happy.

Let's see how it goes. Seriously, I am still feeling a little sceptical if the powder would be effective for her body. I hope I am wrong. =(

yx's favourite hobby of the day

The more we sit together, together .........

I can't stop laughing when I see this photo. She reminds me of Strawberry Short cake but doesn't really look like one. lol !

NEA Exhibition at Compasspoint

Toilet Roll

mummy, may i bring some toilet paper out?

Oh well, this is pretty random, but I just can't help laughing when yx took the toilet roll and starts tearing the paper. This pic got me thinking..... do you prefer toilet paper facing outward or inward? I prefer the former although I think hub prefers the later (or maybe couldn't be bothered as long as there is paper when needed..LOL). ok, whatever.

(1) paper facing outwards

(2) paper facing inwards

Shadow & light

hmm where can I see the moon shadow?

I am sitting so near to the moon! whee!

I love touching my crescent moon!

I was as fascinated as yx when I use the moon to introduce shadow and light concept to her. This is not her face time playing with shadows - we did that when she was a baby. Basically we used the touchlight and tried playing with our fingers and hands. It was magical to her. She also loves chasing her own shadows in the evenings and she finds it funny when her shadow disappeared suddenly. It would be fun to see how she relate this to her bro ......

Sick Sick Sick!

yx has been sick for the past 4 months :

• July - HFMD (1 week after she started childcare)
• August - Diarrhoea
• September - Cough, running nose 
• October -  Cough, running nose and more cough!

So what's next? I really hope her immunity is stronger now after all these episodes. Seriously, if this goes on, I don't think I can ever bring her for any outing. Imagine being sick for 1 week, and then take another 1 week to recover only to go into relapse again but a milder one for 1 week and then before you know, another month starts, and the cycle goes on. Fortunately, she is still active but I am afraid the virus is just taking a toll on her overall health. sigh... I think maybe I can start plotting trend lines on her number of times she fell sick in a year......grrrr.. 

Guess what? She hasn't been to any of the places of interests yet in Singapore. damn sua gu. It's like every time I scheduled an outing, she will be down with something. So what's next? I better not plan anything. It's medicine, vitamins, water and more water for now; if she is well for November, that's a super big bonus to me. Wish me luck for November.
