(2008/11) November 2008


Mummies,
Thanks for all your input. The girls are having flu and cough so all of us have not been sleeping in air-con for the past 3 weeks+ in order for them to breathe easier.

Both finished a bottle of Prospan (for cough) and Bisolvon (for phlegm). Went to 2nd advice, still given the same medicine and more than half the bottle gone.

Both also finished more than half a bottle of pi pa gao. Now giving Rhinathiol, but left with less than half and the cough is still there.

Both cough have green phlegm so I presumme it is 'liang' cough but I was thinking since already so bad can I just give the chuan bei pear? What is the receipe?


Kiki,
#1 climbed on our bed middle of night, cough and vomit. Everyday I'm washing my bedsheet, 2 bed protector, mattress cover, Q2's cot protector, cover and cot bumper. My neighbour's maid still come and ask me I doing spring cleaning arh.

Yen/minky,
I din dilute the milk but decreased it from 150ml to 60ml. Do you think it would be better to diluate it than to decrease the volume. Vomitted milk is so sourish and difficult to wash.


Aly_nat,
Thanks for your input. Does Aly only throw up when she coughs? My Q1 throw up pretty often, sometime, not even due to cough. Even if she takes something that is not to her taste, she will puke. Hubby said she herself induce the vomit. Now, whenever she puke, we will call her little pregnant woman having MS.
But seriously I'm concerned cos my sis said too much vomitting can cause chest infection.
 
Jo,
Hubby told me the wife went to the temple that he helps out weekly with. She turned up last Dec, asking for 大二爷伯(黑白无常)to summon her hubby's spirit to find out the truth. I never asked him for the answer.


Kiki,
Currently, Q1 and Q2 bunked in with us in master bedroom, leaving the other 2 rooms empty. Q2 sleep on bb cot, which is in our room and Q1 on mattress side our bed.
 
snnowy, t widow is really poor thing lor. N t fact tat she went to ask deity for t truth means tat there wasn't any 3rd party n she knew her husband wasn't drunk.
aiks... hope she and her hubby meet in their next life.
 
Think the widow quite foolish though can understand her loss of hb. Life is so precious ... she still have her family who treasure her so much. When some pple are struggling to survive, she chosen to end her life at such young age. Haiks.
 
Snnowy,
OMG! Its really tiring and frustrating to keep washing the sheets. I feel that if your girl's are 'liang' then better dun give the pear drink. Dun take chances leh. Maybe you wanna give them heaty foods instead... then can counteract the 'liang' in their bodies? Just a tot.

Aiyohz... that widow really poor thing. Can imagine just how distressing and terrible it was for her. May their souls rest in peace.
 
Re: Maid
I am one of those that are okay with allowing kids to sleep with maid when they are abit older. I myself grew up sleeping with maids and as a result of the interaction, most of my maids care about me the most amongst my family members. Like when I first married and moved out, my current maid who was then working for my mum would always still care about whether I have soup to drink, etc, volunteering to bring food/soup over for me. She also voluntarily offer to look after me when I was ill, when hubs on reservist whilst I was preggy, etc.

That said, I am still keeping my #1 in my room instead of sleeping with my maid coz I feel its better to be secure that she is so important to us even though we have #2. I also will be keeping my #2 in my room to be fair to #2 since #1 slept in my room for so long.

Hey survey time...

Should our kid at this stage confirm which hand they using? right or left hander? My gal i stil cant determine lei.. She can use left hand sometimes then right hand the other times.. i v confused by her
 
lianz
oh.. then confirm they'll keep China馆 la.. heard its e best among all.. I wan to go China for trip leh.. wahhaha.. v strange hor.. when al e rest prefer japan, europe, australia, US...i wan China!!! hahaha...
 
i dunno.. But my dad insisted that my girl should ONLY use one hand... -_-"
He said some old wife tales story lah... I didn't bother to listen. keke...
 
Survey:
Me too! My son currently uses both. I'm right hander while my hubby is a left hander. I'm dying to know what's my son preference.
 
Ya.. people always try to "force" their kids to use right hand.. dunoe for wat.. But i do find tt those left handers are mostly quite smart
 
Karen
i tink 1 good test is to get them to pick up something.. tt shd b a good indication which hander they are.. But problem is my gal sometimes use right sometimes left.. thou i do find she uses right hand slightly more often
 
nuts, i m planning to go Japan with hub... hehe.. Ask him he prefer China or Japan or Taiwan. He said Japan. Then i said OK, lets go Japan!!
But it is so weird to go Disneyland w/o my girl hor?
 
Karen
?? why u wan to teach him use left hand?? Anyway dun need to worry la.. left hand right hand also nvm wat.. can write and use can liao.. I'm jus a bit puzzled how come stil cant determine which hander is my gal's

lianz
nod nod.. tt time i went disneyland hor.. finish whole park within 4hrs then hav to wait so long for the rest of the tour group to finish cos we given 6hrs. Umm i would say not fantastic la.. more for kids..
For me i prefer China cos i like China history.. so i love going to forbidden city, great wall etc etc.. besides food and massage much cheaper there.. my fav!!!
 
nuts, u dun look chee-nah to me leh! haha.. Actually i oso wish to visit t forbidden city, shanghai, great wall, tibet ...
I went japan disney w hub (tat time was BF) 7 yrs back n didn't manage to cover t entire park. N now we both old liao, wonder if we will still enjoy it. What if go there, then find ourselves 'out of place'? one aunty one uncle stand there gong gong...
 
peanut,
My colleague once told mi how dirty are all the toilets in China, even the main cities. I never thought of gg ... cant even stand some dirty toilets in SG, not to mention China.
 
Re: left or right hand
According to a baby book I have, it says that at our tods age (over 1 YO), they are likely to use both hands equally, though some may show a preference for using either the right or left hand, but most kids do not consistently use one hand rather than the other until they reach abt 3YOs.

The hand a child shows preference for is genetically determined. If both parents are right-handed, there is a 98% chance of the child being so. When 1 parent is left handed, there is a 17% chance of the child being left handed, where both parents are left-handed, the probability increase to 50%.

Don't try to deliberately influence which hand yr child uses: she/he will use the one tat feels most natural to her.

Hope the above info helps. All quoted from my baby book, not me hor

Jo
its true that toilets in china are usually dirty. i went guangzhou several times and must be the worst dirty toilets that i've ever come across. sometimes so dirty until i rather hold my bladder.
 
Peanut,
At moment J3 uses her right hand more then left. So confirmed she is a rightie. Then again, lots of kiddos are ambidextrous at this stage. Guess your gal is like the majority who develops their hand preference later on.


China,
Eerks! I those who dun want to go China. Dunno leh... though I'm Chinese, but maybe cos of my peranakan roots, I dun find any interesting about chinese history. However, I do find the forbidden city intriguing. hehehhe... *confused person*

Yes... I'm also concern with their hygiene level. Not just the toilets.. but also the food. Dunno what type of meat they used lor. Scarly they serve you dog meat lah.. monkey brain lah.. eekkss!


Lilian,
I went Japan for my honeymoon. Went to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Berry interesting and enjoy lots... especially the 'Onsen'. wwwaasshhh... I wanna go back there again. But things are super duper ex lor.
 
Jo
wahaha... once been to China few times then u'll play smart liao.. Of cos gotto control e amt of water u drink so u wont come to a point whereby ur bladder is bursting so u've no choice but to use the only toilet available which may b v dirty.. I usually is not tt urgent and when i came across 1 that is quite clean i'll jus go even thou i'm not yet urgent tsk tsk.. So my toilet experience in CHina is stil ok.. and most time i went during cool season so e toilet not tt stinko cos ventilation better ma.. during my beijing trip e toilets are quite ok.. some toilets in spore even more smelly and dirtier..
 
Jes
thanks for the hands message! hehehe...

3gems
tsk tsk tsk.. i v cheena hor..
But i agree e food ther u've gotto choose e right place.. wont know wat is in e ingredients..
 
3jems/nut
ya, the food in the china really can be weird de. got once we went to a thai restaurant in guangzhou, ordered a plate of fried chicken (from the pic look like popcorn chicken tat kind) then when it came and we ate it, it's not chicken meat!! then i quickly flipped back the menu and read the description.... it's the chicken's "geng" (is it called tendons?). quite gross, "geng" oso can eat de meh?
 
Jes,
Yuckkyy! China famous in 'gua yang tou mai gou rou'

Abt e left/right hand, both my parents are right-handed but my bro is a left-handed ... nt v smart but nt stupid lah .. do things abit slow only. Hehe.
 
Jo
ya lor, taught us a good lesson, next time eat in china must be very careful, not to say we dun even dare to eat at those street stalls, eat at restuarants oso got to watch out. keke

so yr bro belongs to the minor 2%, special wan leh.
