cough and cough

my elder girl still cough in the night despite seeing 2 times western doctor and 2 times chinese doctor.

I am still coughing despite seeing 2 times chinese doctor. My night cough is so jialat that I can hardly sleep. I am so worried that I will not be able to take care of my small girl over the weekend. I am coughing so much that I think I am going to cough my lungs out. Can hardly say a few sentences and start to cough...luckily its in the sch holidays, if not how to teach.

I have given up on the chinese doctor already. later will be going to see western doctor.

My father also not well last sunday. Giddiness and vomitting. I think its due to high cholestrol. He is still on MC today. Hope he will go to work only when he is really ok, sometimes he is so stubborn that he think he is ok and can work anytime.He gets bored at home easily. Hope everyone will be well fast.

updates

For the past one week, I have been marking at Tiong Bahru for the GCE O level chinese papers. I think another few more days, marking will be complete. Have been having lunch everyday with Serena (Ms Ang).

I am down with flu since last week. have not recovered yet. Dun know how long it will take to recover this time. And I missed Serene's baby boy full month celebration as I did not want to go and spread virus around.My big girl is still having cough, about 1 month already, seen many times doctor but no used. i guess the childcare centre also got other kids who are sick, that is why when she about to recover, go there then come back sick again, very diffult to recover. I am thinking of taking her to see chinese doctor to build up her body resistance. She is a bit weak, but cannot take the cod liver oild as she will get "heaty" and end up with fever. I have already given up on the cod liver oil.

My small girl having "fake measles" last week. make me so worried.Yet I cannot go back and see her as I was just starting marking. Luckily my mum takes very good care of her for me and I have a very good PD who is on call 24 hours for my girl. Now she is ok already and almost back to usual. I am also unable to go back and see her this week, I think I can only go back Jurong on Friday. Felt a bit guilty as I have not been spending enough time with my small girl. I remember when my big girl was about the same age, I spent alot more time with her.

My small girl learned how to wave bye bye at 6 months. Now at 7 months, she can do "gong xi gong xi" hand action, good practise for next year chinese new year. My mum and dad spent alot of time with my small girl and I am really grateful that they helped me to take care of my girl so well. I can concentrate on my work without having to worry about things at home.

I met Valerie on MRT today, on my way home from marking centre. She is still the happy, bubbly girl whom I taught when she was in sec 1. Now she is already sec 4, and still as bubbly as before. I was wondering if wanjing is still the same quiet and gentle girl. seeing Valerie makes me think of the sec 1 red cross girls that year.I kind of missed the days when I was in JWSS.(minus the existence of Mr B). Miss my favourite classes 4N1 and 3E1. Now that Mr B is leaving the school, have the urge to go back to teach....as a thought lah. There are still too many uncertainty over there. New VP and new P. As for my side, I will be having a new HOD next year.Hmm..........also some uncertainty over my side.

I hope everything will be well. I will still be on part time teaching scheme, this time round will be 2/3 workload and 2/3 pay. with no form class and CCA. And teaching 4 classes. And having one free day.

something to share

october newborns

October is over. But alot of good news from friends. Many friends gave birth in the month. My secondary school classmate Jiahui gave birth to a baby girl early October and another classmate Yan Yan gave birth end October. A baby boy for her.Have not seen Yan Yan for about 1.5 years I think. She migrate to Australia already. The last time we meet up was together with Jiahui at west mall Sakae Sushi. Jiahui's boy and my elder girl was still quite small then.Hope she is doing well in Australia.

My ex colleuage from JWSS, Serene also given birth to a baby boy around Mid October.And one of my hubby's friend's wife also given birth to a baby girl. Its a month of babies.........

high cholestrol

recently went for a check up as i wanted to buy a new insurance plan. And becoz of my previous high cholestrol level, I want to test it again. 3 years ago, the level was about 284. Now it is about 278. Still very high. Dun think it has much connection to my diet as I din really eat alot of high cholestrol food. Even though I like to eat eggs and seafood, but I did keep track and control my intake of these food. Guess most probably its due to family history as high cholestrol runs in my family.

answer to puzzle

This is the answer:)

a little puzzle to guess

Imagine you are in Africa . You have been tied hanging on a tree with
a rope anchored on the ground, a candle is slowly burning the rope,
and the lion is waiting for you to drop and be his lunch.


Your survival hinges on the rope staying intact, there is no one
around to help you. What to do now ..........

my elder girl bday celebration at my mum's house. Theme for this year:Barney

another relative left

These few years, i have quite a number of relatives left this world and joined another. starting in 2005 my da3 gu1 died from dengue fever, then followed by my san1 gu1 died from a head injury due to a fall in kitchen last year, then followed by my only grandmum died from old age last year, and then now my er4 shu1 died from heart and lung problem. He went in SGH on Thursday night, heard that he fell from his bed on saturday morning(national day), and passed away shortly after the fall.

I am not very close with this uncle, but there was one period in my childhood where me and my brother were quite close to him, but as we grew older, we become less close to this uncle for some reason. Seems like these few years there were too many funerals going on. I hope everyone can be healthy and live to ripe old age.

开学恐惧症

我想我是患上了开学恐惧症。休息太久了，就不想回校了。像早上赖床一样，真的提不起精神来。
原来不是只有小魔头不喜欢上学，其实还有很多人不喜欢上学，包括自己在内。
想太多。想到工作。工作会不会太多？薪金会不会太少？可以工作少，薪金多吗？做梦！
那么就工作少，薪金少。其实我并不是很在意薪金少。我希望自己不会太忙，希望不会太累，希望有更多时间陪小魔头和小小魔头。。。。。。

my baby girl can flip over!

my baby girl can flip over. She did that for the 1st time yesterday. But both me and my mum did not see that. When we look at her, she already flipped over.She is very much faster than my 1st girl. My 1st girl flip over at 4months plus.

where did I went?

I have not been posting recently. Alot of reasons. Busy Busy and more busy.
Tired looking after my baby as she is not a good sleeper at night. But now very very much better. And my elder girl went childcare since 1st July. I was very stressed in that 1st week as she was crying everyday in childcare centre. And she had nightmare everynight for that week. When I see and hear that, my heart ache. Thought of alot of other options other than send her to childcare.

I dun like the idea of employing a maid, so that is out. Thought of taking no pay leave to look after her for maybe another 6months. But she still have to go to childcare centre after that. She is 23months old, seems to be the youngest in the childcare centre. Now is the 3rd week already. This morning I went her down to the centre, she was crying also. And at 10am when I look down from my flat, I can see her at the playground, she is still not playing with the kids. Just holding the hand of a teacher and walking round and round the playground. And when she cannot see the teacher, she start to cry. But there is improvement already, at least today she did not suck her pacifer at the playground and did not carry her sleeping pillow with her. I will be starting work next Monday. I hope by then she will love school....hmm.....is there any kid who love school??

And I went for a Japan tour in end of June. To Hokkaido. wanted to see the nice nice lavender fields, but its not the blooming session of lavender, they dun look as good. End of July will be the best to go and view lavender......if go in August, can see nice sunflowers.

And I just came back from a Malacca trip yesterday. went sat early morning and came back yesterday night. I think my girl is enjoying all the trips. She seems to be able to adpat to the trips well, but how come not adpating so well to childcare?

These are some of the photos taken in the Japan trip:)

my baby girl is about 3.5 months old!

realised that I had not post any photo of my baby girl.
These 2 photos are taken recently.

finally...some good sleep for me

have not been posting recently as i wasn't in good state. ever since my confinement lady left and i shift back to my mum house, i have not been sleeping well. My baby don't sleep at nite and i din sleep for like 1 week for the 1st week. only nap like an hour or so in the day as i still have to entertain my big gal. I think I have aged alot just after one week. but now the problem is more or less solve. my baby gal is a difficult one, but she wins as she got herself the luxury of sleeping in a yaolan. i have to give in, bought an electric one, and she enjoy sleeping inside, i can get some good sleep finally. And she also got herself a pacifer, but just a pacifer or juz the yaolan is not good enough, she wants both. so have to suck pacifer and put her inside the yaolan, and hold the pacifer for her until she sleep, then she can sleep longer.

And I over exert myself when i carry my big gal. end up the area above my c -sec wound start to swell immediately after that. that was what happened last week. Now the swelling has gone down. should be ok i think. Will be going down to see my gynae for the last time this thursday, will ask him about the wound. I still feels a bit of pain when i press area around the wound.

the weather is so hot, i decide to install in my mum house, cannot tahan liao. sweating so badly everyday. Have to get the aircon done by July, then evryone gets to enjoy it.

confnement ending soon..........

my confinement will officially end next thursday( labour day), my confinement lady will go back Malaysia. She has been a great help to me and takes care of me and my baby very well.

My c-sec wound is almost painless liao, juz a bit uncomfortable, I think in another one or two weeks, I should be able to be as mobile as b4, juz that cannot carry too heavy things. I cannot carried my 1st girl as she is now 9kg plus. 2 weeks ago, try to catch her down from bed and end up injured my left hand. Now my hand got no strength.

On 1 May, after sending off my confinement lady, I will shift myself and baby back to Jurong. Have to try to let the 2 girls live together and have to start potty train my 1st girl. She will be going to child care in July, hope by then she will be potty trained.

I hope my 1st girl will be able to accept "meimei", worried that she might be jealous.
