Hi everyone
Finally got a chance to read the forum.
THANKS TO EVERYONE for making the party such a huge success! Shall we make it a yearly event?
I finally managed to get a glimpse of the pics my hubby took, you're all wrong lah ...he holds a big camera and acts like a pro, but the results weren't that fantastic. Personally i feel the lighting is quite poor, so for those who get the cd-roms eventually, you may want to adjust the lighting to your preference.
Sorry!
Duffy: Oh yes pls give me your photos too!
Don't worry about the KL trip ... i think chloe will be fine. just occupy her with lots of things to do in the car, eg books, food, portable dvd player (or laptop).
Make regular stops at rest points if you can, some of them have a playground. Can let chloe play, exhaust her, and the vibration from a moving vehicle will automatically soothe her to sleep.
Different kids react differently to different environments, while dean was ok with the car ride up, he was very clingy to me during the stay in genting. Not sure if he was still recovering from his illness or just feeling insecure in a foreign place.
Oh yes, do be prepared to have chloe's sleep / eat routine totally messed up during the trip.
Unless you stay in the hotel till chloe gets up from her nap, but it means alot of time wasted.
I'm not so anxious about dean getting his naps, cos when he's really tired, i believe he WILL eventually sleep. However you may have to put up with a grouch for a while...
Have fun!!
Yu: Didn't hear from you for such a LOOOOOONG time! Hope you're coping well with your job and the 2 girls? Your hubby back from Perth yet?
Carnellin / Angelia:
SOunds like a viral fever indeed, but do be cautious. If the fever doesn't go down then pls bring your kids to the PD / GP.
FEVER MEDICINE
I maintain 2 types of fever medicine at home for dean.
Normal panadol for fever <38degrees.
NEUROFEN for fever above 38degrees.
The latter works REALLY well. just 1 hour after consumption and the fever comes down.
It's very useful to have a bottle at home to standby.
However Neuofen can only be taken 4 times a day (24 hours).
In the absence of Neurofen, feed panadol up to 6 times a day (24 hours) - it really helps!
I'm very kiasu - whenever dean has viral fever, i continue to feed panadol even tho he's not running a temperature. I stop only when he does not have any fever for 36 hours.
(The fever usually climbs at night when they're asleep - that's also the HARDEST time to get Dean to eat his medicine!)
