Pauline,
I have tried out a few recipes, just uploaded one in my blog.

And I don't use pre-mix from medical halls. For the chuan bei, they have a few types. $5, $6 and $28, I bought the latter.
According to the staff, if you are giving TCM, interval should be 2 hours if you are giving western medicine too.
I'll be updating more recipes shortly.
Not easy with inlaws (or rather, the elderly) when it comes to medication, they have their own way of doing things and I get very annoyed when they try to intervene. Also, I get comments like after bath must quickly wear clothes, else will all sick. DS2 is always naked esp when the weather is hot. Even for DD3, sometimes I just let her wear diaper and run in the house
Try to sponge her as much as you can, and lots of fluid. When they are sick, they lack appetite. Just cook porridge with lots of water (you may add some meat/egg/veg), let her drink the porridge water.
apple,
No need microwave/oven, just thaw it overnight in the fridge if you have time. For me, I just thaw in room temperature the night before.
"Swan" ride,
The big "swan" where you can sit 2 pple and paddle in the lake
tongtong,
So fortunate to stay near some "nature" walks.
I attended DS2's meet parents session yday and teacher told me my son only knows the shopping mall near my house
BX,
For food stuff, you may want to try珊瑚草 (or commonly known as 海燕窝), heard it's high in collagen.
Stephie,
I love to travel so I do all the planning, fm booking of air tickets, accommodation, itinerary and sightseeing, everything bao ka leow, but I enjoy lor hehehe. Whenever we go for holiday, I'm always the planner. Even looking at maps, I'm much better than DH.
We try not to stress ourselves too much, itinerary is PLANNED and we try to follow. If no time, we'll give it a miss. In that way, not so stressful. Holiday is to relax, not stress ;-)
