How Time Flies !

... to keep me at home (Papa will be promoting this book) :P

I have been staying at home for Papa for nearly 2 weeks now as my daycare had been closed for the year-end holidays. Mummy is just glad that i have grown as Papa has to eventually learn how to "manage" me ... they both have no choice ! Hah !

I have been naughty and have already broken my Papa's drinking glass (from Ikea) and today, i broke my Mummy's porcelain clock, a decorative piece (from Isreal). Thank God, Papa didn't wallop me. Mummy will be very (i use the word "very") upset if Papa ever wallops me ... but it is ok if Mummy were to wallop me herself ... hmmm, i wonder why ... talk about equality ?

Niways, I am enjoying the tail-end holidays of year 2007 ... Wah, soone another 365.4 days will be gone ... Cherrio !

Happy New Year Wishes to you all (in advance) !

Rhinotillexomania ?

That means a compulsive nose picking behaviour ...

Do you pick your nose ? Apparently, there are various nose picking intentions -

1) Innocent

2) Occasional

3) Compulsive

4) Harmful

Compulsive and Harmful ? No! No!

Hee, hee, hee, happy nose picking :P (i.e. if u r not caught by ur papa or mummy)

Drought

Water supply was cut from K Block 2 days ago ... at time of writing there is still no water ...

Residents have been cursing and swearing at the Management for poor maintenance. Boy, you should see how people carry water in buckets just to survive the past 2 days and we are entering Day 3 today ...

My poor papa also joined the crowd to get some water for the house. Thank God we could go to Granny's house which is nearby to shower and get some water ... else we will be like fish out of the water ...

At times like this, i really want to thank God for providing clean nice water in Malaysia ! Let's not waste ...

Why do you need a CAKE for your birthday ?

Oh well, i can't quite figure it out why there seems to be a need for a cake to commemorate a birthday ...

So i googled up history of birthday cakes - whalla http://www.tokenz.com/history-of-birthday-cake.html Apparently, it was believed that the tradition of Birthday cake started in Germany in Middle Ages where sweetened bread dough was given the shape of baby Jesus in swaddling cloth and was used to commemorate his birthday. Very interesting.

The website also comments about birthday candles, here you go - read more about it http://www.tokenz.com/birthday-candles.html

Well, its really another 12 Days to Christmas (from today) ... mummy, are we getting a cake for Jesus ?

Are you Frosty ?

"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular Christmas song written by Lexi & Jerry Rollins and Steve Nelson and recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950. (to find out more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frosty_the_Snowman)

Everyone was trying to get a snapshot of "Christmas" at the Curve 2 weekends ago while the decorators were STILL putting up the place. As usual, mummy and papa being kiasu were trying to "get in"... but as i didnt like the weird settings and something pricked my fingers as i was trying to figure out what it was - i started crying "get me out of here !"

so, mummy and papa had to move away and i discovered - Frosty :) and enjoyed him all to myself ... yay

Christmas is in December

Advent, Christmas, Ephiphany - wow ! all big theological words

Why Another Period of Silence ?

Aiyaiyai ... it's been a long time passing ...

Ok, another revelation - I contacted the hand, foot and mouth disease about a week or so ago ...
what's hfm disease (here u go
http://www.sarawak.health.gov.my/hfmd.htm)

I don't know how i got it ... i was happy and chirpy on Thursday, 22 Nov at the daycare and then all of a sudden i woke up with a fever on the 23 Nov. Then it all started to go bad - my throat became very painful and highly sore and inflamed. My papa says i should stay in ... so, i stayed home with him on Friday.

Saturday, 24 Nov came and mummy took me to the doctor. He didnt say anything to her other than showing her how inflamed my throat was - i had to go on another dose of antibiotics.

Having said that, i was jolly playing with khor-khor ethan and cheh-cheh elise on Saturday evening (i.e. after taking the doctor's medicine - i was feeling a bit better) without knowing that danger of my exposing my saliva to them - i was heavily drooling - i remembered neng-ngu was kind enough to help me wipe off my drool.

Monday, 26 Nov came and i look quite ok to go back to daycare but the teachers were wary of me as they spotted some blisters on my soles - so mummy was rushed to take me back to doctor again. This time only, the doctor confirmed what i had as hfm disease !! And he did say that i most probably caught it on Monday/Tuesday, 19/20 Nov.

So, this started another round of tensions with the daycare "stigmatizing" me ! Sigh ... oh, well i had to stay at home this time with mummy for 1 whole week - niways, it was quite fun being pampered by mummy. But i have a gnawing feeling - who's the bludy culprit who passed me the virus ?

1 Dec - neng-ngu called to say he has the hfm disease - Ooophs ! I gave him the virus - sorry neng-ngu i didn't mean to :(

3 Dec - i finally went back to daycare.

Well, that had been an eventful week for me.
