Fever Fever go away

The very next day i returned to Singapore, Janelle was down with fever. High fever which at times it hit as high as 39.7 degree. With a night of paracetamols and sponging, her fever does not bring down, hence admit her to KKH A&E. We took a blood test and it confirmed that it's virus attack, urine test is ok.. and confirmed not wound inflammation.. Given Bifen, her temperature dropped, so doctor discharged us and need us to watch out for the temperature.

Cannot imaging, one day.. all my 3 thermometer were not working. this is where they says when a ppl in bad luck, all things will happened at one time. After changing of battery, the forehead thermometer still does not works. The ear thermometer keeps telling us 34.9degree even her temperature had raised up to 38 degree. The digital thermometer takes 1 whole min to tells the temperature, and with her crankiness in place, it is near impossible for me to take her temperature. Going out leaving maid with Janelle, i'm dont dare... cant bring her out, lucky i still got one sister who can help me run errands, despite she and her bf having hangover, they popped over to shopping mall to get me a thermometer. Thanks Sis...

With the new thermometer, it's shows 39.7.. which scared me off... Keep sponging her and gave her Bifen immediately to bring her temperature down... keep 4 hrs feeding on medical, day and night.

Today is the 3rd day with fever, It's still doesn't control it well. goodness me, other than sponging, giving lots water, timely fever medical... what else can i do?

Travelogue - Bangkok

After 4 years (pregnancy + Janelle growing), this is my first personal holidays trip with BFF, we met up with T and SC in BKK who were on their business trip. This is my best trip even, especially everything is sponsored. I have enjoyed every second in Bangkok, except every night before sleep and every morning just wake up.. i missed my Janelle very much. How i wish i can bring her along.

We flew there with SQ business class (mine is sponsored by hus), stayed in holiday Inn (sponsored by hus. These 2 days, there was no hours.. there is only sun rise and sun set. I will sleep till my body clock wake me up, sleep and rest when there is an opportunity, basically past midnight every night as there were so many things we wants to do.

Day1:

• Pray




• Shopping at Isetan for bra




• Massage




• Free Ice Cream at swensen -- was given 3 coupons after spending 6K baht on bra and it's with all Thai words, no sure if free or what, the salesperson not able to tell us more.. Both J and I was guessing what it is written on the coupons, do we need to pay? J suggested, "let's walk out the restaurant, if need to pay, they will call us. The worst is ended in Thai's Police Station, no to worry, we have someone we know in BKK that can bail us out."

• Dinner at Japanese BBQ -- 4 of us finished 10 plates of meat, 3 rices, 2 plates of veg..




• Drink at State Tower -- this is where hangover 2 was filmed.. super nice view but the drink was very expensive.
  





• Supper at Chinatown -- shark fin soup + crab meat fried rice + veg

Day2:

• Breakfast -- had my best ever coconut juice, it icy cold, sweet and not diluted that wakes me up in the morning




• Massage




• Lunch





• Shopping at platinum




• Dinner -- with 10 dishes for 3 pax. We had big prawns, crab rice noodle, Tom Yum Soup, Fried rice, papaya salad, very nice crab meat omelet, veg, BBQ sotong, something looks like gongong, minced meat with basil leaves.. and it's only 2K baht. very worth it and most impt, it's very nice.





• Massage

Day3:

• Pray




• Breakfast




• Shopping




• Massage




• Chinatown - shopping and eat




• To airport and back home.

There are alot more things we havent done in BKK.. like medi and pedicure, watch hangover 2 in bkk where it's filmed, drink bird nest, chinatown shopping not yet finished. Will be back.. Hopefully the next trip A can go with us, we missed you so much..

After monitored janelle over night plus hus gave the assurance, I took my flight and fly off early morning yesterday to Bangkok. Just before I step out the door, janelle woke up and kiss good bye to mommy. Very cheeky and sweet of her, helped mommy push the luggage down for mommy. Started to miss her then.

Thanks dear for sponsoring this trip. Had been over stretch myself over a year... Goals set and seems not achieving. Plus with my stiff body and giving me problem to sleep. Getting more and more stress. Wanted to have a good break and get things restart.

Janelle had a serious fall

This morning, helper brought jx downstair to buy newspaper for her daddy. On her way home, she tripped and fell to the ground and hit her head. Helper brought her home screaming for help.. The i first saw janelle was blood every where.. on her face, her hand, her leg.. i'm stunned and really dont know how to response. Lucky hus is at home today.. before i can response, he said "lets go to the hospital immediately cos the wound is very deep, she need stitches".. While papa went to collect the car, i cleaned her up and check where she get hurt. a deep wound on her forehead and was bleeding , hands alright, legs alright.. helper and myself are trying to hospital pack the bag in panic... She was then admitted to A&E, was monitor for an hour before stitching procedure is put in place. During the procedure, she almosted cried her lung out... it's really hurt me so much that i cried with her in the opn room. She had 1 inner stitch and 3 outer stitch with need to be removed a week time. Now I'm super exhausted.








On our way home, hus asked me if i still want to go bbk tmr.... I thought of cancelling this trip... but 2nd thoughts, what can i do if i stay? cant papa handle?

A Day Shopping at Ikea

Over the weekend, daddy says want to go Ikea to get a chair for his mom. the chair we selected are out of stock, ended up daddy got another 2 pots of leaves.. sigh. Told him is enough, stop getting more, but he just cant stop himself from buying plants. The plants at our corridors are so many that no more space for more... now he put them at stairs, at common area. My maid and myself feel peiseh when sees the neighbours looking at them.

Both of them are trying on the chairs.. papa bear chair and baby bear chair... :) cute isnt it?
But too bad, our small little house not able to accomodate this 2 items.


We bought a selves for Janelle toys... and got it install up over the weekend. Have been thinking of this selves since i spotted this at Nick's baby full month celebration. I find it very useful. But cos hus says wanted to move out so i wanted to keep this house as simple as possible and our house space limitation, i have put it on hold till this trip to Ikea. I know moving out is not possible and with my maid confirmation this is useful.. we got it. and it works as a very good stopper for our sofa.. very sickening sofa, too light hence it keep move away. When i strike toto, i will change you.




next item i want to get for this house:

- planning either to get a cabinet to keep all things on our study table or a gate to prevent janelle coming in to pull down all the stuff.

- TV wall mount bracket - placed order from china. Singapore selling at SGD$699 to 499. Saw it on china site and it's selling at SGD$50. without thinking more, i placed the order. Waiting to be shipped.

- soundbar/sound system... do i need this?
- a small table top for the kitchen, to place rice cooker... where can i get this?

Stay-cation @ sentosa

Our (Janelle and mommy) first staycation @ sentosa festive hotel.

It's school holiday and pop promised 3Js to bring them to USS and sis and i had to filful his promise. I brought along the maids who i have promised them will bring them to sentosa one day and janelle.. It's a 2D1N staycation, and janelle alone, her stuff had filled half of the 32" luggage.. as a kaisu mama, i brought along her sleeping bag, 6 sets of clothes, swim wear, many pampers, her milk powder, one big bottle of home cooked drinking water, one flask of hot water and her toiletry.

DAY1:
We went into sentosa on sunday late morning, to relaxe at the palawan beach. On our way into sentosa, i asked maid to pat janelle to sleep in the car, she failed her mission .. Janelle was too excitied, she was there "ho ray, ho ray.." together with BJ and SJ.

We checked in festive hotel family suite in the afternoon, the checked in was a maddness. Everyone checked in at 3pm, the lobby was so crowded and the staff service was so bad as they are rushing to clear the crowd.

The first thing we got the room, was put janelle to bed for her afternoon nap, and in order not to let the 3Js distrub her, we brought them down for a swim. Although Janelle missed the swim at the pool, mommy accompany her for a warm water bathtubbie fun :)

In the evening, Bro and Pop joined us for dinner at hard rock cafe for early father day celebration... rock!!

After dinner, all kids and maid are to go to bed.. and all adults to casion.. so our plan was all kids and maids in a room.. (3Js one big bed + 2maid on sofa bed + janelle on baby cot) and 4 adults (me and mom one big bed + sis and bf on sofa bed) in another room. i'm so tired after the hot sun, so i give up casino and went to bed.

at abt 1am was waken by bro who brought his wife to sleepover... goodness me, ended up 4 of us (mommy, sis, sis bf and myself) need to squeeze into one big bed.

DAY2:

Mommy wanted to recruit her lost from casino, so she and sis headed down to the casino at 830AM.. leaving the kids with me.. and to let janelle to have her morning nap, i brought 3Js down for a swim again. This time round we tried hard rock's swimming pool which come with a man-made beach. After the swim, we were so so hungry, hence i ordered in room service... $17 a big breakfast.. guess that's my most expensive breakfast i had in singapore. but it worth it.. cos it come with 4 small bottles of jam which just nice can be used on the bread we brought there and into my sis and her bf stomach.. :P the eggs/toasted bread/sasuange/bacon are finished by me and the 3Js. yummy yummy.

Sis brought 3Js and mom to USS while i waited for janelle to wake up and do the check out. To avoid Q, I brought express ticket @$30 each for USS. As with Janelle, i dont think we can Q and wait for an hour for a ride or even 15min..

Janelle played
- merry go round, she enjoyed herself when it started moving. we can heard her laugher.

- Sherk4D movie, she laughed from the start of the movie till the end of the movie.. she even laugh when the sherk farted..

- waterworld, she was there clapping while the performance goes on.

- Treasure Hunters with my mom and sis bf while me and sis are in Revenge of the Mummy which i promised BJ to take it with her. According to my mom, janelle enjoyed the jeep rides, she will laugh when the jeep make some noise.

- Dino Soarin with my sis, MJ and SJ playing water while me and the rest went for the Rapids adventure which i missed that during the last USS trip.

By the time we in Sci-Fi City, janelle was so tired.. she didnt want to move, just want to sit in the stroller and have snack where mommy went for the Battlestar Galactica: CYLON and HUMAN. Yes, i did it.. We headed home at about 6PM for janelle to rest while the rest continue except for my mommy leave USS with me to another wonderland.

We took very min photos when in USS, cos our hand are so full and we are rushing for one rides after another. :)

MMR vaccines

A month ago (9May), finally brought Janelle to complete her last vaccines - MMR which suppose to give her when 18months.. we had delayed for a year. The MMR vaccine is an immunization shot against measles, mumps and rubella (also called German measles). It was put on hold as we afraid that the virus in the vaccines can worsen her seizures. There are some vaccines on the records that cause seizures ie: prevnar.. As i wanted to enroll her for next year's preschool, so MMR is a compulsory vaccines for any government school in Singapore. After deep thoughts and asking around, we decided to give it to her.. once and for all to rest my mind of worries, and hopefully with the BRT treatment, it can help her to remove any strains from the vaccines.

Before i gave her MMR, from BRT it shows that in janelle body, there are some strains of measles and mumps virus which the therapy guess it could be from 5-in-1 or others vaccines, and after the MMR given the virus are gone, but there is an increase of Mercury strains in her body. The very next day she developed rash on her buttock areas where the vaccines given. I afraid was allergy hence rushed down to the clinic, but doctor says it's not. Doctor concluded that's nappy rash. How is it possible? All along she was ok, the diapers used and frequency changing on diapers remains unchanged. Thanks god, the rash went off after a week and at the very least she was still very active and no fever after the that.

Art & Craft for 2011 Semester 2

With the help of Helper and Teachers, Janelle did these for her art in school:

She had been crying... help!!!

With hus rules, maid doesnt dare to leave the house and this break their routine for morning walk and evening walk... Janelle had been very cracky and crying non stop for the a week.. yesterday i cant take it any more and ask maid to bring her down to buy lunch. once the door opened, she stopped crying immediately and rush out of the gate as fast as she can with smile on her face..

Goodness me...

Serious hepler issue

Last sunday, my helper give me another big headache which completely destroy every single trust me to her. in the past, no matter what she did, she doesnt hurt Janelle so i choose to close one eye. But this incident, i no longer can close one eye....

Before hus fly off, he asked me to accompany him to seng siong to get some instant noodle.. we leave the house, just 2 of us, leaving helper and janelle sleeping at home. On our half way to SS, we returned home as hus asked me to go home and change my short. Once the lift reached 11, to my horror, the main gate is opened... i rushed in to check and Janelle while hus looked around the house for helper. Janelle was awake and sitting on her bed crying, and there is no sign of helper in the house... i picked up janelle and wanted to bring janelle to leave the house, with me "Go Go Go" and hus keep asking me "where's the maid, where's the maid"... she returned home.. the first thing happened was "mom, where you go, i went downstairs to find me"... and next was a good scold from me and janelle cried even louder. this time, helper quickly take over janelle and clam her down, put her back to bed... hus and i leave the house again, as we need to have a talk on what's happened and how to handle her... on the way, my mind is not clear, the more i think the more worry i have.. so we make it a very quick one.. pick and go.
I cannot controlled myself, once i see her i continued my scolding and asked what if Janelle walked out the house took a lift ?? What if janelle fall?? what if janelle has fit?? noone around?? the only thing i remembered was "I had enough of your nonsense, one more time and you go home". after my scolding, i sat on the sofa feeling very angry and worried... then hus added on and come out with all sorts of rules.. like no more house keys with her, no more going out for her, no more bringing janelle downstairs, no more going seng siong buy papers or things... and now i have to mirco-manage her.

i'm already so busy and stress up, and she do this to me... i have not have any good night rest these few night, feeling very upset and stressed.. Yesterday night, with hus usual never think of the process, never give the thoughts of his wife and he says says "let's send her home... " which really break me down and counter fire "who going to take care of janelle?? Your mom?? my mom?? or You? have you ever thought if i can managed it.. why you so selfish, last 2 times you sent maid back, i have worked like shit to take care of everything and you have never in sinagpore.. you are not in the position to says this. on and on and on... ".. he went complete slient.
