We are all on the mend. I am definitely done with the runs. Otherwise, I will be severely dehydrated now. Sadly, I also gained whatever that I have lost. Boo!
The other adults do still sound nasal and are still coughing. However, they do sound much better too.
Lil Isaac is recovering too. His little nose is still leaking but his fever doesn't peaked as high as previously. The interval between his fever spikes are also getting longer. He should be fine soon.
Lil Shauna is the hardest nut to crack. We thought she will recover very quickly after we brought her to the doctor the second time. However, the phlegm and mucus are still plaguing her. I think she should be fine, just a little while more. The only good thing is that she has no fever and the flu seems not at all bothering her. It bothers her parents more.
I thought we will all be well by the time we hit the road on Saturday. It is no fun traveling with the bugs. Shoo, shoo, shoo.

Sick Tiger
Lil Isaac got it hardest among us all. It should be a viral infection, a different flu strain from the rest of us bcos he is the only one who came down with high fever. The doctor said that his throat looks ok, so it is probably not a throat infection. We were not given any antibiotics.
The flu symptoms are still mild but his fever was difficult to tame. At one point, we had to alternate between bufen and paracetamol to try to keep the fever down. In fact, we were waiting for time to pass so that we can feed him fever medicine.
He measured 39 degrees at the clinic. Back home, he didn't seem to cross 38.5 degrees most of the time, but he felt hot. I thought he was beyond 38.5 degrees but the thermometer said otherwise. For those of u who knew about how Lil Isaac ended up in the hospital with a hight fever when he was 15 days old, yet his temperature was not picked up by the thermometer will know why I always doubt my thermometer, even though I have changed the old one. And I am always paranoid when Lil Isaac comes down with a fever.
Lil Isaac stayed at home the entire day. So jiejie got to go to JP with me in the early afternoon while Lil Isaac naps and go for the Madagascar movie with Daddy Lim in the late afternoon. Lil Isaac stayed at home with Mummy, ah yee and uncle ichi. We bought a Xbox kinnect and had lots of fun. That, I will blog about separately.
Lil Isaac still feels feverish. In fact, the fever didn't seem to leave him at all. This must be the must-get-sick-before-holiday syndrome. My only comfort is that it is fairly easy to feed Lil Isaac medicine.
Pls recover before our trip. Let's all enjoy ourselves during the trip. Mummy has been looking forward to this trip, so much such that her neck has grown longer.

New Massage Chair
Lil Isaac is too young for to sit in the 天王椅. So he has his own version of the massage chair and totally loves it. Lol.

Last Man Standing... All Down
Popo and auntie are down with flu. Lil Shauna hasn't recover since Daddy Lim passed her his dry cough, which then developed into a full blown flu with thick mucus that clogged her little nose. We brought her to the doctor again and she seems better now.
Daddy Lim recovered from his dry, irritating cough after struggling with it for almost 3 weeks. Now, it is Lil Shauna's turn to share her viruses with him. Daddy Lim just came down with full blown flu. -.o"
I recovered from an urinary track infection last week. It was my very first and it was totally horrible. Luckily the antiboditics work wonder and I recover quickly. However, I had been battling a very bloated tummy since Tuesday evening. On Friday night, my tummy acted up and I ran to the toilet at least 10 times.
Lil Isaac is our last man standing. I hope he stays strong but I thought he sounded phlegmy last night. Boo! Our house is full of germs now and ah yee chose to come back yday. Hohoho.

The Morning Train
I had to take the train for a morning external meeting on Tuesday. It was a horrific experience and I pity the commuters who have to do this everyday. I am pampered. Daddy Lim chauffeured me to and fro work everyday. It suddenly seem like a blessing to work in ulu, ulu Tuas and start work at super early hours.
I took the 7.30am train, which in my opinion is quite an early timing. The station was crowded and commuters were all standing in the yellow box, waiting for the train. Suddenly, all of SMRT's hard work to educate commenters to be polite and Q up went down the drain.
The commuters rushed into the train the moment the train door opened and dived for the seats. I didn't fight hard enuff and didnt get a seat and was standing near to the door.
The train was relatively empty until the Jurong East station. Doors on both side of the train opened at this station and humans swamped into the train. Instantly, all visible space disappeared yet quite a number of people were unable to make it onto the train.
When the train was pulling out of the station, it was jam packed. I was standing shoulder to shoulder to the persons on my left and right. Somebody's bag was constantly shoving up my ass. I think people will start fainting if somebody with bad breathe starts talking or somebody with body odor raises his arm.
I seriously advise seniors and those who need a seat not to take the morning train. A heavily lady was standing behind me and there is no way those who had a seat can see her bcos they are either closing their eyes (sleeping?), concentrating so hard on they iPad/ phones or blocked by those standing in front of them. Even if anyone genuinely wanted to give up his seat, there is no way that the preggy woman will b able to make it to the seat.
It felt like forever before the train finally pulls up at Buona Vista. I was worried that I couldn't make it out and was super relieve when I was finally out. I even took a breather at the platform before I made my way out of the station.
I swear I will quit my job if I am made to travel like that everyday. Now I understand why people complain that badly about the MRT being overcrowded - cars are unaffordable, buses are too slow bcos there are too many car and the MRT is jam packed, not forgetting the crazy breakdowns.
I also realized that I have a phobia for crowds. I get paranoid and worried that I will faint when the MRT gets too crowded. Hmmmm... another reason why Daddy Lim should fetch me.

Milk Now
I think Lil Isaac secretly reads my blog. Bcos, shortly after I ranted on my blog about his poor milk intake, he started doing the opposite.
Popo says that he is finishing his milk and has been asking for milk during the day. This is on top of his good appetite for solids and the constant snacking. Similarly, he is finishing every drop in his bottle for his last feed and even protested when I pulled the empty bottle out of his mouth. Just, he emptied 160ml, more than his usual.
For the past few nights, he had been waking up twice every night asking for milk (he pronounces it as "mog"). Each time, he emptied his bottle. Yes, I am tired but he looks mad cute when he flashes me his mega smile at the sight of his bottle. At that moment, it doesn't matter that it is the 2nd time that I waking up or that I only have another hour before I have to pull myself away from the comfy bed for work. Everything is worth it.
It should be a growth spurt. Popo is so exaggerating. She said that Lil Isaac feels heavier already. What? He only started increasing his intake a few days ago lor.

Holy Communion
It has been almost a month since we went back to church. My mum and Lil Isaac accompany us each time. Although Popo insisted that she isn't really going to church since she didn't enter the worship hall, I hope that accompanying the kids to the Sunday school helps to influence her.
Lil Shauna took a while to warm up. She is now in the nursery class that is largely independent. However, I couldn't let go and still accompany her or get auntie to accompany her.
Lil Shauna seems very much comfortable last Sunday and didn't look for me when I asked auntie to accompany her instead. It was also Communion Sunday and the bigger kids, nursery and above, get to join in the Communion.
It was Lil Shauna's first Communion. She didn't really know what was happening but merely followed her friends into the hall. I felt so touched seeing her took her first Communion. I had to hold back my tears.
When she was done, I asked her what happened and she told me that she was given biscuit to eat and juice to drink. Hehe. I tried to explain to her the significance behind but I don't think she quite got it.
You probably can't spot her. She's in her usual pink. My baby is growing up!

Hair Cut
I cut Lil Isaac's hair! His hair is getting a little too long but he hated the hair dresser very much. He shakes his head vigorously when we asked if he wants a haircut everytime. It is both traumatizing for him and us when we bring him to the hairdresser. He even trumatised the last hairdresser who cut his hair. If u see the way that he cries, screams and struggles, you will think that we put him through much more than just a hair cut.
Daddy Lim commented that I should learn hairdressing so as to avoid subjecting us to such pains. Win already, another worthy cause to celebrate Mothers' Day. Mummies must work, take care of kids, help them in their school work and now, learn hairdressing.
I did not learn hairdressing, but I found a very interesting shaver left behind by ah yee. It comes in the form a blade hidden within a comb. So it shaves off the hair as I combed. It isnt the best way to cut Lil Isaac's hair but it helps to make it shorter. Lil Isaac was cooperative. He is amazed at the hair that I shaved off and enjoyed playing with them. Jiejie was very helpful in sweeping the hair on the floor and throwing them away.
It may not be professional standard but we successfully avoided the need to go to the hairdresser for now. Come to think of it, I used to wonder why some kids cry like hell when they have a hair cut. Now, it is happening to me. -.o"

Egglets
I tried the egglets many years back when I went to HKG with ah yee. I remember that they taste pretty great. We didn’t get to eat these the subsequent times that we went to HKG as we stayed off the populous streets. The places that we visited do not have the such HKG snacks.
I saw them in Singapore a while back. Tealicious, one the bubble tea shops is selling it. I tried and it wasn’t good. There was a bitter taste to it. Then, this shop opened in JP a few months back. Their egglets are really nice.
My guess is that the boss is a HKGer. He was pretty rude at one point. He probably brought the recipe all the way from HKG. The egglets taste good but it took a long time to bake them, as if they were done using some authentic, traditional baking method. There is always a long Q. That day, I ordered 2 egglets and there were 20 other orders before me. By the time I received my egglets and joined Daddy Lim for dinner, he had ordered his Carl Jr dinner, finished it and was playing games on his iPhone. He also finished my share of the Carl Jr onion rings. Blehhh…
Daddy Lim tried the egglets but didn’t fancy them bcos they are just plain flour. He is a carnivore, he needs meat. I was eager to share the eggs with the kids and brought the egglets to Centris. They are very popular and wiped out in no time.
