Watami restaurant

Went to watami for dinner with friends/loved ones... It was yummy, just the way I like it... I had seafood garlic rice in hot stone. Seafood includes scallops and prawns. Wanted to post more pictures but it seems like this blogging site is not cooperating with me. Anyway there got many branches worldwide. I thought it was a small restaurant at Central, but when I walked further in, I realised it seemed pretty big. Yummy food!

What should be in first aid box

Hope that this article is useful for anyone who want to stock up for emergencies in a first aid box!

Baby stuff

More baby stuff was bought in this shopping spree. Daddy bought a drinking bottle for him as he mention this bottle will enable baby not to spill water everywhere like the previous bottle. We also got baby a cup where he can put his hand in to take the snacks. But when he swings the cup around, the snacks will still be entact in the cup.

Well, today was an accomplishment for him. :) He was able to sit through out the dinner while in a restaurant. Is that cool or what? Well, he had lights and music entertainment, maybe that's why he is so well-behaved? I shall ask him when he knows how to talk. Perhaps he may or may not remember then. Hahaha

Wedding anniversary

We had a wonderful time spending couple time and celebrating our wedding anniversary at Waraku restaurant. Hubby sent a nice little bouquet of flowers with soaps/lotions to use and a soft toy. I think he wants to 'kill 2 birds with 1 stone' with the soft toy becoz he can entertain baby with it too... haahaa

Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful years together... going through thick and thin... Well, may we continue to encourage each other as encouragement inspires courage which transforms ordinary people into extraordinary ones. May we continue to esteem each other as it means to honor and praise. Pastor says praise people generously, even for their smallest achievements. May we continue to uplift each other even when we know the other party is doing something wrong, may we just graciously tell each other about it and not take ourselves too seriously, as we are not perfect. As they say condemn the wrong act but love the person. We shall continue to uphold each other and think the best of each other and do our best to continue to be undefensive because we know we want the best for each other.

Thanks for being so sweet in doing the little things that you know will make me happy. Things like being my P.A. just makes my day. Though u can be a little loud and mean at times, but at the end of the day, I know you still love and care about me. If something or someone will stir us to hate each other, is it worth it to do that? We always joke that too bad no refund. I guess we just have to work at not being so fierce at each other even though we seem to have high standards for each other at times. We just need to work at helping each other get better as we are always a 'work-in-progress product' haahaa But ultimately we should also know that we must not let things steal our joy when things go wrong. We should know that things may happen for a reason but not look too much into the reason. But just continue to walk through it.

Well, if u know me well, I seem to be philosophical at times. Hahaa Really appreciate you and may we continue to keep walking thru thick and thin! :)

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health” (Prov. 15:30, NLT) May this letter brings joy to your heart! ;)

How to calm a crying baby

baby's experience being sick

Well, it happened two Saturdays ago. He was just having a cough. And then suddenly the next day in the wee hours of the morning, he was coughing real badly. He woke up so many times crying that I couldn't sleep well too. Daddy was still thinking of bringing him out. But then when things turned for the worse. Coughing and fever ensued... I brought him to the doc first thing in the morning. The doc only opened from 9am to 12pm on Sunday. So I had to bring him in as soon as possible.

Note that if baby has continuous fever for a few days, it may affect the brain. So it is no joke!!! Well, off we went to the doc. I had some paracetomol for baby, so even though I gave him the med in the morning, it didn't bring down his temperature to normal.

When we went to see the doc, hubby wasn't very impressed bec it was super old school! Haha Firstly, the doc used the strip of colours to measure his temperature, not the electronic type. Secondly, the doc didn't have nets payment, only cash. I guess it's a way to keep operation costs low. So I don't really have any issues with it. Well, he was given phelgm and cough meds, as we had fever med for him already.

That night was again another challenging night for us, he almost woke up every hour! Wow! Mummy had to carry him until her arms ached. Not easy to soothe a sick baby. Even his stuff toy won't do his job, simply becoz baby didn't feel comfy. Off we went to see another doc. Reason is bec the fever was still there and we had a family doc that we saw that was only open during weekdays, not weekends.

That morning at the clinic, baby showed his lung power! He cried till tears came out as if it was the end of the world! There were super powerful cries when the doc used his stethoscope to check him. I guess it was the coldness of the instrument he didn't like. And then the doc mentioned the previous doc was a good doc, but this time he was prescribing antibiotics bec the virus attacked his lungs. Hubby had childhood illness before, so doc say it may be possible that it is hereditary for him to get it too. So it is good to be careful.

After about a day of taking the meds, his fever went down! PTL! I was so glad for him. But he was practically waking up frequently every night when he was not well. He couldn't breathe very well I guess. Doc diagnosed his illness as bronchitis that may lead to other things later on if it is not cured.

After 3 days of taking meds, he suddenly developed rashes all over his body. His face, hands, arms, chest, legs and feet. I was so heartbroken to see that. Even his eye lids were swollen. Picture taken of his eyelids. Some rashes even look like mosy bites, like there was some mosy pandemic. So Sayang... aiyo...

Then we had to go back to the doc as we didn't know what was happening. Apparently, he was allergic to the antibiotics according to the doc. Thus, we had to change the antibiotics so that the rashes can disappear. After one week, when he went to see doc for follow-up/review, his lungs were clear! Whew! So happy. PTL! Really thank God we survived the ordeal. :)

F1 weekend

Let the pictures do the talking. Really had an awesome time with such awesome friends... Thanks for the memories people!:) Well, I always remind myself, life is short, live it up! If there is any unforgiveness in our hearts, know that life is too short to bear grudges. We don't know what is going to happen the next day, we can just live everything to God. If you think life is mandane, go do something different!:)
