I used to have calluses and blisters on my toes but they went away by itself when I stopped jogging for almost a year during my pregnancy and after the birth of Baby C. Now that I have resumed running intensively everyday, the darn blisters and calluses have resurfaced on my toes, bummer! I wonder…

Sherilyn Gave Me Yet Another Shock…
…. when I saw red lines that looked like bloody scratch lines all over her eyebrows and forehead 2 days ago. This happened barely a week after Sher drew her mouth with a black color pencil. I was bending down to wipe her mouth and forehead in the kitchen. When I swept her fringe away from her…
A Few More UTI Attacks And My Baby Would Need Surgery
We brought the MCUG film (MCUG done at HUKM 2 months ago) to our pediatric nephrologist at SJMC today. Upon looking at the film, Dr Indon told us that Baby C’s ureter is positioned slightly lower than where it should be, thus the cause of the frequent urine reflux. She then referred us to a pediatric surgeon at the…
My Baptism Of Fire
I am sure everyone has their share of baptism of fire when they first started out to work. I will never forget mine. My first major and important assignment was to be a Recording Secretary at a Domestic Inquiry (DI) in a large bank. The accused had committed criminal breach of trust. It was a…
Alycia and Baby C
Alycia and Sherilyn really dot on their baby sister and vice versa. At the sight of her 2 older sisters, Baby C will smile and squeal in excitement. Alycia has been a very helpful assistant to me. Every night, she would help me entertain Baby C whilst I take my shower. Alycia can even help…
Baby C Loves To Do Push-Ups
and she’s really good at it. She now hates to be left alone on the crib and would always scream to get herself out from it. The moment she’s placed on the gym mat on the floor, this little creeper will do push-ups and creep everywhere…. really fast. Once I left her on the floor…
Sherilyn Gave Me Another Heart-Stopping Moment
when I thought my ‘kwai kar’ (naughty brat) ate some poison! On Sunday, I had cut up some fruits for Alycia and Sherilyn to eat for breakfast. I then went into the kitchen to make them cute car-shaped and fish-shaped eggs using the bento egg moulds that I had bought. When I stepped back to the dining…
How To See Urine That’s Infected
I will be an expert in ‘analyzing’ pee very soon. Today, I collected Baby C’s pee again for the routine FEME urine test. One look and one sniff of the pee in the bottle, I knew it’s going to be fine…. and true, the WBC has dropped to 1-2 (from 10+ on Friday last week). For the…
I Want Pink Hair Mummy!
I turned on the TV this morning as I sat in front of it and carried Baby C to collect her pee….. to be sent to the hospital for a urine FEME test. I switched the Astro channel to Travel & Living and what came on was Anthony Bourdain and his travel adventures. In that particular episode,…
Happy Mooncake Festival…. I’ll Ditch The Mooncakes And Eat Water Caltropes Instead!
Just want to wish all my readers a very happy Mooncake or Mid-Autumn festival. It’s another ordinary Sunday for us today. We skipped church today as Sher is still having a very bad cough and runny nose. Luckily Aly’s fever has subsided and I do not have to bring her to the paed’s clinic. I…
Lunch At Xenri Japanese Restaurant
Apart from retail therapy, whenever I am under stress, I will ask hubby to bring me to a fancy restaurant and I will gorge myself full with grub to de-stress myself. Not too healthy a hobby eh? Anyway, after Baby C’s third jab on Wednesday, I was feeling so stressed up that I went to…
Cheap Does Not Mean Cheesy
People always say that cheap things equal cheesy quality but I beg to differ, well, sometimes. Ever since I left the corporate world and lost my financial freedom, I have stopped buying branded stuff. I used to shop till I drop and would buy things for myself and for the girls without any second thoughts,…
Updates On Baby C’s Breakthrough UTI
Brought Baby C for her 4th dose of antibiotics jab via intra-muscular today. As usual, she wailed her lungs out. The dr. ordered another urine FEME test to see if the WBC (white blood cells) in her urine has dropped. A urine bag was used this time. I prefer this method of collecting her urine than…
Baby C Is Creeping
Despite having frequent UTI attacks, Baby C is one tough cookie who is as adventurous and active as her 2 boisterous cheh chehs. Since last week, she’s been trying to creep on her crib. So I dug out the old gym mats that I had previously bought for Aly and Sher to crawl and lay…
Shingles Or Herpes Zoster
Did you know that after you have had an attack of chickenpox, the virus falls asleep or dormant in certain nerves in the body? When the virus becomes active again in these nerves of a person after many years, the person will get Herpes Zoster Infection or Shingles. Often, only one attack occurs. If an…
Baby C Has Another UTI And Needs Admission
but I can take home leave so that we don’t have to stay in the hospital. Baby C is attacked by the E Coli bacteria (again) and Klebsiella bacteria (which is a strong bug) this time and she needs to have an IV line on her hand for antibiotics to be jabbed through the line….
