Down With Covid
The four Covid virgins in our household finally lost our Covidginity ?. Me, Cass, the mil and Sherilyn have been down with Covid. I was out at Pavillion Bukit Jalil with Cass on Sunday and felt unusually enervated after walking around the mall for 2 hours. The shopping queen in me usually have no issues…
Covid Prevention – Second Booster Shot
I got my second booster shot on Wednesday, 27 July 2022 at a clinic in our hood. Though the Government recently announced that the second booster shot is only available for individuals aged 50 years and above, as well as for anyone with comorbidities, funnily though, I still managed to secure an appointment to get…
Wednesday, 20 July 2022 ~ Random Updates
I just realized that I have not updated this blog for 10 days. As you might already have guessed, I’ve been up to my eyeballs with work – house work this time. Maria our part-time maid of 10 years is pregnant with her second child and has been riddled with bad morning sickness. She’s not…
Alycia’s Covid Infection: Day 4 – 7
By day 4, most of the classic symptoms of Covid crept out — sore throat and high fever. On day 5, the fever subsided but Alycia started to have cough and a bad throat. Since Alycia had a zero-symptom Covid infection three months ago and is now infected again, I think she got infected by…
Alycia’s Covid Infection – Day 2 & 3
6 July 2022 – The Covid self-test kit showed a faint line on the T window. Alycia is still feeling well and chirpy. The first symptom however crept out late in the evening with a scratchy throat. Alycia asked for lozenges and I gave her my honey and propolis lozenges that I kept in the…
Covid Positive Again!
It’s never anything good to receive a phone call from my daughters while they’re in school or campus. Last week Sherilyn called me from school to inform me that her newly pierced ear was bleeding as she asked her friend to remove the earring from the ear but the earring almost got stuck in her…
The Girls Are Back To School and College
My 49th Birthday
This year is the third year that I’ve had a low-key birthday celebration, done at home. We were in lockdown the past two years and this year, though our country is now in transition to endemic phase, I still couldn’t go out to have a blast. It’s a no-brainer guess. Darn Covid. Alycia was tested…
Another Covid Scare
This time it’s Cass’ turn. She may be in close contact with a Covid positive index from our condo block. They were both at the gym on Wednesday night. On Friday, the lady who went to the gym tested positive for Covid. The condo Managment office was notified on the same day. Today a staff…
12 February 2022 ~ Random Updates
Alycia received her Pfizer booster dose on Thursday. It was a walk-in vaccination at a clinic in our hood. The next day (yesterday) she was down and out. She had fever, chills and a throbbing headache. Except for waking up to pop Panadol and drink water, she slept the entire day, wrapped up in her…
Tuesday, 8 February 2022
Covid cases continue to soar by the thousands every day. From just slightly below 2k cases just a month ago, the numbers have spiked to almost 14k today and is expected to continue rising in the midst of an Omnicron wave. Cass’ high school shot out a notice to announce that in view of the…
Home Updates
Barely 3 weeks into in-person classes this year, Cass (and her classmates) have to be home quarantined twice – one week each time. The student who was in close contact with a positive case was finally tested positive 2 weeks later. It’s not any better for Sherilyn as well. One of her classmates was tested…
Close Shave
Last Monday, I heard the most dreaded words from Alycia. Her best friend was tested positive for Covid-19 and Alycia was in close contact with her! They hung out a week ago on Monday and had meals together. Towards the end of the week, her best friend felt unwell and on Monday (7 days later),…
Sherilyn & Cassandra’s 2nd Pfizer Shot (Monday, 18 October 2021)
The entire process at Axiata Arena yesterday was completed in under an hour, including a 15-minute post-shot observation period. While the youths waited at the observation area after their shots, all the parents were asked to leave the hall and to wait outside, under the hot scorching sun at 12 noon ?. The entire process…
Sherilyn & Cassandra’s 2nd Dose Pfizer Shot
Tomorrow will be Sherilyn and Cass’ 2nd dose Pfizer shot. I’m already starting to feel anxious over whether they’ll get side effects or not. Alycia had high fever (39C) with body aches the day after her 2nd shot. Sherilyn was out of sorts after her 1st shot with mild fever, mild difficulty in breathing and…
