I have such a feel....

....that my friend who will come to visit me and my boy tomorrow, will try to sell me something. Direct sales product and insurance are the two top common stuff to do personal approach. She is my secondary school friend and we have not meet for many year. All the while, we keep in touch through phone calls only.

Her last call to me was a casual chat about kids and she keep on mention that one day she wants to come for a visit as she never keep in touch and meet up with many old school friends since after she married. (She married at young age and having 3 kids now).

Of cause I'm glad to welcome her for a visit. Few days ago, she call up again and said she will be coming to my area for work tomorrow and today a SMS like a reminder said what time she will reach.

Hopefully is a casual visiting and chit-chat over a cup of coffee without any selling and trasaction. Will tell you what happen later..

You Make My Day....

Saturday is quite a challenging day to me and it is the most busiet day in the week. I need to do my weekly shopping and marketing, blog for more paid posts appear on weekends, family bonding time and sometime busy to do photo hunting. I even wreck up my meal time and this day I eat more than weekdays. Sometimes, I think when I can fully have my own time on Saturday to do things I like.

Thanks, Hootin' Anni's for remembering me this round when we participate in our weekly activity. Your simple gesture of doing this have brighten my day. Yes, you did make my day by sharing a good post up on your photo hunting and of cause I love to read all your friends entry on their PH too.

Photo Hunters: Thirteen (13)

This is a wooden calendar I bought during my trip to Bali 3 years ago. Now this calendar blocks has been my boy's toy. The calendar date shows May 13th. Back in history, it is something happen to our city Kuala Lumpur.

On May 13, 1969, one of the worst racial riots in Malaysia took place in Kuala Lumpur. May 13 Incident was a riot between the Malays and the Chinese who were dissatisfied with the socio-political situation at the time. The riot resulted in the deaths of 196 people, and led to a major reform in the country's economic policy. ~ taken from Wikipedia

It is still a sensitive issue to brought up till today. I still remember when I was young, parents told us not to mention or open up to discuss about 513 in the public or we will get caught.

I like to shop...alone!

Last Sunday, I was staying at home with both men. It was so boring at home in the afternoon, since the elder man not wanted to go anywhere. He was so busy the whole day occupied the PC and laptop to do configure the ADSL router. So I went out myself to shop alone in Mid Valley. Let the man baby-sit and hope he has some bonding time alone with Terry. I took a cab there.

This speedy taxi driver zooms to Mid Valley in 20 min, very fast. I don’t have many things in my shopping list; just want to kill my time and boredom as I seldom can go out alone without tagging my boy. This round shopping mainly is to buy something for myself and check out some latest stuff. Since no sales around, so I don’t think I will spend a lot too..

Walking up and down and walk to where I want. Really so enjoy walking alone. Walk in and out some ladies boutique and when I’m come out from Icon Boutique, I saw many sales banners hanging at Samuel & Kevin shop. I quickly walk in and check what the great deals there. They are having clearance sales up to 60%-70% discount. Majority shirts and pants for men and ladies are on sales. I dig and dig, too bad all are left over size S tops for ladies and for men side still able to get the size I want, but also not much left. After 25 min there, spend RM 54 on 3 tops (2 for hubby and 1 for myself).
Continue to look for some kids wear and for myself too, can’t get any of I like. Mainly because no sales *roll eye*. So just look see.

My tummy already drum roll since I out of the house. Before I found something to eat I went to Swatch watch shop to buy a watch which all the while I wanted. Every time when I’m there with 2 men, I just couldn’t stay longer to choose and try. So, that day finally I can take my own sweet time to buy it.

The 3 hours plus walk in the mall, I’m not able to cover The Gardens. I just eat there only. Syiok myself with Pineapple fried rice at Rak Thai. Before head home, not forget to buy some food and necessity from Carrefour and Jusco.
Pineapple fried rice and Lemon grass drink (free). Taste so-so, not so filling...RM14.20
No queue at taxi lane, so I jump into one of empty cab and the taxi also speed zoom me home in 20 mins with extra RM2 charge (he requested). Guess what, when I reach home the man is still very busy in front of the computer and baby-sit Terry in front of the TV.

Time for Judelittle.com

Last week beside doing things in a slacking mode, I gear up my engine to work on my almost abandon domain. Since I've got a few templates downloaded and yet to give a change to my blog. But, I'm not doing that yet cause I don't know where to begin to do when want to change template.

Finally, my hardwork paid off, I discover it after a night work. I begin to work on it and get the template change immediately. I'm so happy for what I did. Later on, I felt the original header is not what I want. So, I begin to design something and find some scenery picture. My skill is just sucks when comes to design. Glad that Sasha offer her very kind help to put up a nice and bright header for me.

Thank you very much, Sasha. I like it very much. If time allows I will try to come up with one later, but I don't have any idea now on how to design it. Header is the very first thing readers see, so I want to have something special. The blog title there is - Life Notes. It is basically record down what happens around me in my daily life as a SAHM with my lovely boy.

From now on I'm will be blogging at both side equally. I hope so...also hoping that I have more things to share (not only with "Vitamin M" posts). So, remember to continue visit Judelittle after you drop by here.

Many thanks!

My Bronchiolitis boy

The condition is not turn any better actually after yesterday check-up. This was our 4th week doctor visit and another new set of oral medication is carry on now. For the last week medication, his coughing is recover and now still left the phlegm and lungs problem. We not back to Pantai hospital this round, we continue the regular check-up at regular paed. We not sure changing doctor in that way is good for Terry or not. But, our intention is want to see what other doc gave in prescription and advises. For both side, the paed are giving almost the same medicine. Pantai one giving kind of strong medicine to him.

New set of med

Last week, at Pantai paed have done twice nebuliser with him and yesterday check-up shows that his lungs still have the wheezing sounds there and the condition is not show any recovery. I also gave him some chinese med, who told it is very good to clear the phlegm, but it not show any better too in get rid of the phlegm. Over the weekend, his nose got mucus and drys up around inside and outside his nose area. My early thought was, it is good to have mucus coming out from nose and it can be lighten the phlegm, it was wrong actually. Paed told that, it is not related at all. His mucus is because of his nose is sensitive now. Duh, develop another kind of sickness now!

Paed help him to suck out the mucus from his nostril. First attempt to the machine of cause struggle again. But, after it done, he is much better. His left nose having blood coming out when the suction going on, cause I hurt his nose when clearing his drys up inside. His bronchialitis condition is not so fast can get recover and now he is in KIV to use the inhaler (nebuliser) at home.

My heart really sank everytime bring him to check up and hearing all his lungs condition. It is a month time now Terry was on western med everyday. I started to get phobia feeding him med, not sure is Terry is getting sick eating it everyday. So far, he is not show any strong rejection towards the medicine and no big fuss happen too. For every mouth of med, I will accompany with a small piece of bread. In fact he is quite happy like that, cause he know he can eat bread when having med. When I mention to him is med time, he will point to the bread.

Yesterday, after back home from clinic. I was so sad and almost wanted to cry when checking those med. I was thinking, boy, how long he still need this. Why is this want to happen to him? He still a very small boy and taking medicine like more than rice now. While I was stroking his head, I told my darling, boy, you faster get recover ok? I really really hope that through oral medication can slowly recover without need to use any inhaler or puffer. Currently, one of his med is for asthmatic sickness. I also started to search on net for health information related to Bronchiolitis for toddler.

I pray hard to God for his speedy recovery. I don't want him to suffer anymore and we don't want to go clinic every week. I want back my healthy and happy Terry..
