That's our day!

It was sooo long since the last we 3 go out together. Finally, on Monday we got the time and we spend our day out of the house for the good 5 hours at Mid Valley. We just want to bring Terry out of the house as he has not been to anywhere except back to hospital for check up.

He is extremely bored at home (actually me too). Everyday evening is raining - can't go out to park or else the big hot sun hanging up the sky - he can't go under sunlight. On Sunday, happen my parents and aunt visit us, when they leave the house, he looks so dissappointed after waved bye-bye to them. He kept pointing the door, whining and want to wear shoe go out. Oh boy, so pity for not bringing you out. So, for not letting him down, the next day we got brought him out to walk walk no matter how.

We out the house around 11am and easily get a parking too when we reach. We only eat, window shop and bring Terry for all kid's ride in Jusco.


Happily waiting for our food at Kenny Rogers

Terry was having the sidelines - rice, baked bean, mash potatoes and muffin. He was all the way "uummm" means taste good la...But to me it was getting bad each time. It was like more than 10 years ago, every Friday I went down to KL Kasturi for tuition. Me and my bunch of classmates for sure no fail will go for Kenny Rogers at Kota Raya before our class. During that time, it was all really good and tasty. Too bad, now I can't find back the taste.

We proceed to window shop for toys. I was so afraid the boy will going to hold on one toy (especially those Thomas), refuse to let go and later may be cry and create havoc. Luckily he was not, when I try to distract him by saying Thomas is there, more here and etc..he will put down the toy and let me hold his hand and go. We then went into Jusco for all kid's ride. He was good too, not stick to one ride after it stop and co-operate when we want to go.

After the ride and all, he was tired to walk. Daddy carry him and we proceed to The Gardens. He refused to walk too when we were there and wants me to carry. So I did, carry him walking up and down The Gardens till he falls asleep on my shoulder.

Since he slept we can't walk for longer too. The boy refused daddy to carry, he cried when I passed him to daddy. Walk back to Mid Valley, feel hungry already. We have our late lunch at Madam Kwan's. Hubby ask for Fish and Chips and I have this -

Nasi Bojari
My first time here. It was good, the portion is big, see the drumstick..very satisfied. This plate makes me full till 9pm. Terry was still sleep on me while I'm eating. Back home my whole body ache after carrying the boy walk in the mall. Took a quick shower and catch a nice nap. Dinner time I cook again, but I have it late.

Thats was how we spend our day. See, things around are expansive, just eat without shop already damage RM100+. Really hard to afford to go shopping and eat out every week.

Photo Hunters : Beautiful

Everybody love beautiful things. There are too many things in this world can be describe as Beautiful. This is one of the Beautiful creatures appears in the racing circuit that caught many men attention. Too bad, we don't find any of these in F1 racing. These ladies are young and pretty; of cause all of them having nice figures too.

These are some of the beautiful collection during Japan GP.

Terry at 27 months old

Very long didn't update Terry's growing progress. Reaching his big 2 also mark another great milestone for more learning and explosure on speech and expression. He has not been having a good start ahead on his 2 years old as the accident hits. Till today, everyday we still have a terrible struggle time when comes to apply oil. He will cry his lungs out with saliva and mucus all follow to come.

Every single day when I showered him, take off his cloth and saw those burns area, I so hate of myself and I still feel extremely heart-ache and sad. He only allows me to touch him and watch those areas. He not allows other ppl to check him.

Skin
A little bit update on his skin condition. The last check up (14/8) shows that the back wound is fully recover with skin, but the scar is very thick there. Doc said that he is very good luck can recover as he mention to us he needs another round of skin graft on the wound. Now the check up appointment is 1 month apart and not weekly. Those red parts are turning into white bit by bit. Deep red area are still in red.

Every night before he sleep or even nap, he will like to put his hand at the back to scratch or pull down the pressure sock on his arm to scratch. If I move his hand away, he will hold my hand and put on the part where he wants me to scratch with assigned pattern and strength he wants. Of cause it is better I help him to scratch. I will scratch softly on him rather than he scratch it hard. If I refuse to do that, he will cry and kick. He did have oval medicine for itchy, but I don't think it works on him. It more like a habit for him to scratch for 5-10 minutes before sleep. Or may be he is really itchy due to the skin tearing. No other itchy cream for him other than the wound cream. All we do now is to apply olive oil. During the daytime he won't scratch, just when sleep and nap. At night, I will put on booties on his both hand (mitten too small), so that he won't scratch it hard and file his nail very often.

Arm will still need to wear a pressure sock for a period of 6 months or more.

Doc advise not go under sun yet.

Speech
He is now a talkative boy, but still in his baby world language. He can express it in very long like he has lots to tell at one go with hand action somemore. But, we don't understand what he trying to say, and all we do is respond with a Yes or OK to him...He can repeat lots of words after me. Whatever I want him to say/ read and he can't pronounce or say it accurate, he will say in his own words/ sounds. Sometime I really laugh at it..so funny. He speaks contenese, mandrin and English. Some example:-

Television (TV) - Vee
Oval - Ha-wu
Octogan - Jer-gen
Train - Phane
Car - Tar
Jet - Jek
Taxi - Hat-xi
Truck - Thuckh
Butterfly - Bar-five
放 (fàng) - Ham

His name (Terry Pang Chee Hing):
Terry - Hel-leh
Pang - Pam
Hing - Hin
Mandrin can pronounce accurately.

Some words that he can say accurately and clear like Bye-see you, Where, More, Wet, Sun, Moon, Bike, Boat, Outside, Inside, 要 (yào), 还有 (háiyǒu) and some others more..For alphabet he is missing G, H, I, J, M, S, W and X. Officially can address me Mummy at 26 months old. Sometime he mix up, he go call popo as mummy.

First word in the morning, once his eye open, he will say "nen-nen".

Eating pattern and habits
Officially on rice soup, but still continue on porridge mainly on vege porridge as he has hard time chewing greens once he saw that in pieces, he will shake his head. Every week, I will prepare minced meat ball (Pork+chic, pork+fish or Chic+fish) and fish fillet. It is more easier for him to eat and I cook. On a bowl count, porridge he will eat 10 tablespoons and rice 5 table spoons with dishes. He will drink more soup which the soup have rich taste (cantonese say "sweet", which means with lots of ingredients) and the soup is cook long enough ("lou for thong").

Love bake beans and pearl pod peas very much, want it on every spoon feed.

Stop having prawns, eggs and dark soya sauces cooked food due to his skin condition.

He insists want a bowl when eating biscuit even it is 1 small piece.

Eat bread by finish the roasted side first, then pick the raisin and lastly eat the whites.

Nap 1 time for 1.5-2 hours. Poo-ed 2 times a day.

At night, normally stick to daddy. Sometimes I will try to sleep early, but daddy just can't settle him.

Whenever I'm using the lappy, he will come to me and say "phane, phane". He wants to watch Thomas videos.

Terry is now all back to his ownself and he can walk faster than me.

All-in-one Coffee

I believe coffee drinker love those 2-in-1 or 4-in-1 sachets packing, it is fast and easy to prepare. I like those too, just that I seldom drink. This 2 packets brought back by hubby. I was so surprise to see that nowadays the in-1 coffee have increase to 6-in-1. Not only that, now even have tonic ingredient.

The Coffee Cordyceps contains of the normal 4-in-1 plus instant Cordyceps powder. Wondering is it the low grade Cordyceps they are using or just artificial ingredient/taste? Cordyceps is a very expansive chinese tonic food, it is more expansive than bird nest.

The 6-in-1 contains of fine sugar, non-dairy milk powder, instant coffee, Maltodextrin (natural low calories sweet ingredient), Collagen and Calcium. Collagen is more to strengthen skin tissue.

Looks like now coffee also promote to a more healthy drink.

Diaperless train (Part I)

It was started last week when my mum still around, I'm thinking that why not give this boy a try see he able to pee without diaper. When I ask him where "shee shee" he can pat on his front. He somehow like understand what I said. Before I start to let him diaperless in the day, I repeat n-times to him where to pee, want to pee go where and so on..I even place lots of old clothes and towel ready to wipe pee.

OK, project start on the first day. He seems alright after the morning shower without diaper on and not ask for diaper too. Me and my mum repeat one after another "Want to shee shee?" he was like look so lost what is it about. Ok, nevermind, good that he not sit on the sofa the whole morning, really scared that he wets the cushions.

After more than 2 hours calling for pee, I asked again, he said NO. Finally, while I off hanging cloth and my mum at bedroom, he stands in front of his toys table and pee there. He look so scared like I will scold him. Well, I didn't of cause, I just told him "Nvm boy, this is shee shee. Now wet already, next time you want to shee shee tell mummy ok?" He even want to help me to wipe his pee on the floor. So, thats the only pee in the whole morning. Later of the day, diaper is on for nap time.

2nd day - I bring him to toilet, play water hose and making the shee sound, still fail. This was like after 2 hours already he is not pee and not even pee in the pant. After his lunch, he sat aside and play puzzle then we ate lunch. We still calling him and bring him to the toilet, but still get a NO from him. While we munching, I still looking at him as he sat quietly play. There goes my second look on him the floor is wet already. Lots of urine passing out, puzzle also wet a few pieces.. He must have keep and tahan in his bladder for long and only letting out until cannot tahan. Again he looks miserable and know how to say WET, WET. Quickly I dry the floor and bring him to change. Also, the same thats the only pee time. After diaper on, he was like so happy and relieve, his dear diaper can put on again.

5th days - He still refused let us bring him to toilet. He started to ask for diaper after morning shower. Looks like he is not ready to go diaperless yet.

Due to I'm alone with him now, with many house things to do, diaper is on 24 hours again. This Part I training got to put on hold until he is verbally ready to ask for pee.

Stress out

It has been more than 3 weeks I'm not out of the house, minus the ride went for check up appointment with the boy. It is so freaking stress, tension and boring at home.

My mum has been with me for 2.5 months time since accident happens and last weekend she leave me alone to take care my boy. Although it is still not easy, my boy will still kicking, scream and cry while I apply oil, scratch all over when nobody looking at him (he is so smart, he will get something hide his hand and block our sight and he scratch there), but all this got to bear with him, just be patient and let him recover well.

I feel like I'm more busy then before. Now I got to cook my own lunch (no more cater), Terry's lunch and dinner for all, done all the house chores just like I used to do. Sometimes cooking is hard as I got to think of what food is suitable for Terry on lunch and dinner as he is on rice and soup now. Most of the time will try to cook something which everyone likes. Hopefully I get use to this new routine soon.

When I'm busy at the kitchen, my eye will still on him (so that he won't scratch) and satisfied all his wanting and pointing for this and that. Hopefully I won't get cut on my finger or forget to wear my underwear...hahaha..

Yesterday, I got my half day off the house. Took LRT and went to shop alone at KLCC, checking out all I want to see, buy all I need and eat alone. It is so relax and I letting out the stress by spending time alone. Even I walk till my back and feet ache, but I'm very happy. I spend most of the time at toys department checking out Terry's favourite - Thomas and Friends and merchandise. I'm so surprise that it is a lot more now than before...finally I found there are Thomas bedding set at Parkson. I never get that, till he can sleep alone. Quite disappointed when I'm at Isetan, their baby bedding set is so pity less and limited and not to say kid's bedding, it is totally can't find at all.

After a good 4 hours outside, I bought and wear back a new pair of heel (walk till my toes ache, change shoe), some face masks and a Thomas Sing-a-Long VCD for Terry. This boy he is sooo happy when he saw his favourite Thomas and end up he watched repeatedly for 3 times on the same VCD. There goes his night on that VCD, while I got some quiet time after dinner for my new collagen mask.

All 8s day

Remember more than a year ago I was answered this special tag talking about what I'm expecting happen on 08.08.08.

Well I should say it did realise and it is exactly happen like I wrote. It is just that simple with a wish to have something special to happen. Overall at home nothing special, but today the whole world is putting the eyes on Beijing Olympic Games.
China choose to have this game on this auspicious day and at auspicious hour to official announce the grand opening. I keep telling myself prepare for the night earlier and get ready to watch the spectacular ceremony from TV on time. But, end up I holding my dinner plate in front of the TV.
So this is what happen at home. Morning wake up as usual, after settle down the small one then busy did some washing at kitchen while my mum prepare to roll the dough to do "Min Fan Kueh". Thats our lunch of the day.

Half way watching my mum doing it, I went online check mail, settle some ebay stuff and blog-hop plus chasing and playing with Terry (multi-tasking). Feed the little one mee suah, then our turn for lunch. Clean up everything, put Terry to sleep then back to the line and source for some business contact. On the phone call with my friend - Moon discuss about our plan in setting up a small business. Continue to source after the phone call ended till around evening. Start to clean up the house and go down to the park for a short walk with Terry.

Shower time and dinner time then stick on TV for the opening ceremony. It was a great and grand opening ever saw with huge number of performers combined with many hi-tech equipment use and firework plays a few KM away from the Bird Nest stadium. Received a good news from SMS. My friend giving birth to a baby girl. Congrats Shirley Lim. Couldn't stay longer to watch till all the country matching ended and the Olympic flame lit up in the stadium. Make milk for the boy and put him to sleep.

That's how I spend my simple day on 8th of August 2008 at home.

Making steam banana cake

Here is it, I was baking steaming another cake yesterday, since the line is almost dead! It is pretty easy by following the ingredients here, mix well everything and within 30-40 minutes the cake is done.

I double up the ingredients to make a bigger one. The result is not that nice. The center towards the bottom of the cake is a bit hard, but still edible. Will try to follow the exact amount of ingredient next round and use different tray to steam.

Terry self solve puzzle

@ 2 years, 2 months, 1 weeks & 4 days old

For the very first time, Terry able to solve puzzle all by himself. There are 4 sets of puzzle in it in different of 3 to 6 pieces. This was his great achievement over the week. He first have this during his ward days. (Thanks for that Sasha). He loves it till today and still playing it everyday even he know how to solve all that.

When the first time I solved it for him, he gets angry when he wants to hold them up, as he did all the pieces are break off. He brings that to me everyday and particularly want me to put up the train and car for him only. He watched me do and I not even step by step teach him how to join up piece by piece. Few days ago, he surprised me by joining up all 4 sets by himself after one another.

Photo Hunters: Cloud(s)

It has been 2 months ago since the last I joined the hunt theme. The past 2 months time was the hardest moments in my life and I yet to fade out of those bad memories. Well, don't think it is easy to forget bad things.

Those bad days many things ran in my mind that sometimes really so bothering me and makes me so worried. Everyday open up the windows, it is another day of busy life, everything around is moving fast, but only cloud(s) are the one moving slow. Sometimes I like watching clouds. It can be a quick and good remedy to calm down ourselve.

Here are some of my collections on clouds. The best place to watch cloud is actually on plane...the whole big wide of cloud sea, I feel that we are just so tiny among them.



Taken at a beach side restaurant in Terengganu


Indoor cloud at Venetian Hotel, Macau. It is sooo real!

Father and son

Every night after dinner, Terry will be very alert on the grill door pad lock’s sound and patiently wait and welcome his papa back home. Once he heard the sound of door opening, he will call out "pa" and help his daddy to bring over the water tumbler and place on the dining table. Later, he will wait till his papa finish shower and say “bao bao” (carry) when he saw daddy is free.

This was the scene we have every night. After dinner, most of the time he will stick to daddy and plays with daddy. He will bring toys to daddy and ask to play with him. Even daddy is working in front of the computer, he will run in and out the room and bring the toys in and out, just try be with daddy and get daddy’s attention.

I’m so happy that now Terry is closer to daddy better than before incident happen. Last time he not used to stick and play with daddy. Big Man also slowly realised that he needs more bonding time with the boy and for the home too. During the time after he discharged, remember those days that Terry refuse to talk? Actually daddy helps him a lot in bring back his own self. In a way that, daddy talks, sings and plays with him, he is more responsive than mummy or grandma did. Maybe he is too boring and very use to be with me already, so no big re-action.

Sometimes daddy will watch cartoon with him and at the same time play and talk to him. This simple way and action to interactive with kid is so important to develop a closer relationship..I saw many great moments how Terry spends time with daddy.

One thing which I’m proud of daddy that this also I didn’t know all these while - daddy actually can draw nice pic. There were a few times daddy drew some nice pics on it and I saw that, it is nice and neat. Check the drawing on this magnetic writing board.
He drew a Mickey Mouse. It is not easy to draw fine lines on this kind of drawing board, somemore it is so look-alike to Mickey. I try to draw it just like how daddy did, I’m not manage to draw that neat and look-alike.

Since Terry has this writing board, he likes to ask me to draw than he sketch. I don’t how many times he asked me to draw cars, almost everyday when he first new to this toy. Yes only cars, he loves cars. I rub and draw, rub and draw. Sometimes when I bored of drawing cars to him, I draw some other things that he knows and ask him to name it. He able to tell me correctly what is that. LOL! This shows that my drawing skill is not that bad la…*thick face mummy is chuckle*

First ever making cake

Baking cake to me is a very tedious and troublesome work. Not only it involve lots of ideas, tools, ingredients and materials. The preparing time up to it present on the table is time consuming too. So, to a lazy bum and one who always wants to do things at its simplicity and fast, so far baking is not my cup of tea.

So, what makes me want to bake, which this is also the very first time happen in my kitchen? It is all because of Terry. You see kids is always our motivation in doing things that we do not like to do. Since Terry's appetite is back, he almost eat round the clock and he loves bread a lot, especially the Gardenia Raisin loaf. So, in order not to let him have too much of bread from confectionery, me and my mum home-made something for him - Steam Egg Cake.

My kitchen doesn't have a single baking tool not even an oven. I only have flour, eggs and sugar. So, that will be our ingredients of the day and my mum be the walking cook book. Without any measuring tools, use a bowl pop in 8 eggs (measure: read where the height line of all eggs) and add in sugar (measure: an inch below the eggs line), and whip in a stainless steel pot.

Use the manual hand mixer (from my mum's kitchen), whip till tired (around 40 minutes) with all sugar melt, you will find the mixture is a bit of self raise.

Mixture after 40 minutes
Then, add in flour (measure: same level height with eggs) and stir well. Oil wet the paper and put on top of the steaming tray (best use the tray with holes underneath). Pour in the mixture and add in raisins (optional). L'abeille tips: coat the raisin with flour first before put into the mixture, so that the raisin can flaot within the cake and not all sink at bottom.
Mixture after add in raisins
Turn on stove fire to high and steam for 20 minutes. Kao Tim!
Ta-daa--
Terry says, Mmmm...the lil' boss approved that and he kept chasing us for more. This has simply tickle my baking interest and next will be Steam Banana Cake, another more lazy and easy version of making cake =P

No, no more....

.....skin grafting needed anymore for the wound. Past few days the wound recovery pretty surprise us. The pop up cell is getting smaller a lot and doc is agree that skin graft is fine if we not opt for it. Now we continue to use the powder mix with the cream to apply on the wound. Hopefully after 2-3 months time later, the pop up cell on top of the wound can be completely eat off. But for sure that part will be scar badly.

Today we have a bit of time to chat with doc and he assure us that by the time he age 4-5 years old, his skin will all completely back to its original. We feel so relieve and glad on this check up as the doc keep telling us not to worried too much by putting trust on him.

Dr. Isa is so well known in burn and plastic surgeon area as he is the doctor who set up and form the Burn Unit at HUKM and UH. Again this round he not charge us on consultation. What a great and kind specialist doctor he is.

Doctor said that....

...the best solution for the wound recovery is go for skin grafting. This is the main message from doctor during last check up as he said the wound is very deep and there is no more skin, that is why the cells keep on pushing out and not showing any skin recovery. It will take very long to recover and scar badly.

If put skin grafting on it, it will only take 2 weeks for fully recover. After a month time on applying 2 type of ointment, the wound recovery is still slow (as it only depends on the skin side-by side to grow up the cover the wound area) and the fall off cell it develop again (which is those pop out cell). The skin graft to go for won't be large part, it is like 8cm x 1cm. Other than that, currently his arm is on pressure sock, to flatten and tighten the grafted skin, also help to reduce scarring on the destroy area.

Most probably we will go for it for the last. The schedule operation will probably take place after August 11, as doc is not available and also the OT is close for renovation. No wonder I saw many airbrush equipment park at the rear building.

Datuk Dr. Isa Omar in DSH is definately a very good, experienced and kind doctor after I come across so many. In seeing that the insurance coverage is at bottle neck, he did not charge us on last clinic visit (only pay for med fee), he also giving us great discount on the next operation. Really appreciate for his kindness and help.

Currently Terry is very happy as grandma everyday teach him ABC, sing song to him, cook good food for him (which this lousy mummy may not able to cook that tasty). He watch his favourite VCD songs for numerous time and now he can hym part of it, read all his new books and play some new toys. He is getting more cheeky and especially when daddy at home. Smile and giggle non-stop. After this incident, daddy did change a lot in taking time to accompany and play with Terry. I hope he can improve more like talk to him, as he is a fast learner now, easily pick up new words. Just 2 days ago, he no longer need stroller to go park, he can walk quite steady and go up and down on the slide again.

Since after doc telling us about skin grafting, I'm actually having nightmare. I'm so afraid and nervous on Terry's ability to take the pain and later on recovery stage. It is not easy for him to overcome all the trauma and pain. Wish that everything will be good for the last round.

Terry is back to his ownself

I’m really proud of Terry recovery achievement over the week. Finally, my dear Terry boy is on 95% back to his usual self. Day by day, he picks up well on those words that he used to say and he also can read out those words that I used to teach him during those “silent” days. I can’t expect anymore further on his speech. He performs so well to me. Other than that, he likes to smile a lot now. Currently he not needs us to support him to walk anymore. Now, he walks like he just learns how to walk, still shaking, but so far not fall down.

Last week, doc giving us green light to shower him. After more than a month long, he back to the bathroom again. He cried badly for it, I not able to hold him and shower him. Whenever bath time and rubbing time is the terrible time for him with those ointments need apply right after it.

He can sleep tightly at night and nap back to 1 time for 2.5 hours. For his food intake, after the long night sleep the first bottle of milk will be around 6.30am-7am (sometime earlier). Later in the around 9am+ after he wakes, we will give him a hot bowl like meehoon, kueh teow or mee suah soup. He super loves that. Sometime he wants snack right after his proper meal and that we will give bread or biscuit. Lunch time normally will be his nap time, wake up from nap take a bottle of milk and dinner around 6.30pm-7pm. Since after discharged, he does not like to eat porridge anymore, he wants rice. There starts his fully solid meal on rice+soup. We make all soups that suitable for his lungs recovery and on those for more protein like beans. So far, he eats well on that and able to finish what we given, sometimes he even wants more.

We still stroll him down to the park and playground area, knowing that he not able to walk a far distance yet. We put him on the slide too few days ago and need much support to play it. Many eyes were look on him, on his hand and some might think that why a big boy still sit on stroller. Especially those mummies and joggers that used to saw him around before accident happen. Yeah, that cause some uncomfortable to me, but I just ignore their sight and concentrate on Terry.

If only the back wound recover it will be easier for him to move around. It still need a month more for fully recover. The wound is the complicated part now, as it grows a very thick layer of dead cell there and according the doc he needs to do something to it today, to peel it off or to burn it off. I still don’t know how he goes about it yet as the previous medicine been told that it will eat up the dead cell. It doesn’t seem work much on it.

May be we fix a safety door gate between the kitchen now is kind of late thing to do after incident happen, but it is still better to put one to prevent any other accident happen to the small one. We bought the Sweet Cherry door gate from Carrefour. After we look around for the gate and its extension, we choose that as it is durable, nice and of cause cheaper too (RM140).

So unlucky, met a bad seller

All the while my online shopping is smooth sailing, I paid for what I bought and successfully got them delivery to me. 2 months ago, I met an irresponsible and fraud seller from eBay. The item I bid was a Coach Ring Key Chain for USD17. The process of bidding and payment is smooth and later she even confirm me the item will ship out the next day and probably I will get it within 15 days depends on location. Knowing that this seller is from Malaysia too, I foresee the item can reach me the latest within a week time. But after wait and wait, it not reach me. I began to bug her with few times email and ask about the item status. You know what, after past 3 weeks time, she replied one of my emails and asked me again my mailing address which I have given her more than 2 times upon payment made. That was so ridiculous. That was the only time she replied after I wrote many times.

I have actually checked with some other of her customers, they all also have to wait long like 1 month plus to get the item. With those customers also facing the same problem, I comfort myself that maybe I also need to wait such long time too. After waiting more than 1 month time, so bad that this seller cabut, no longer an eBay registered member. That's it, I can't contact her and money spends but not gets the item, but still a hope to get her to refund as she breaking her promise on the item sent.

Without wait any longer, I report this as item not received through eBay and hopefully can get a respond from this seller after I open dispute and claims with Paypal. Up to today, I still not hear a single word from her. If she choose not to communicate for this case, I may escalate this dispute to a claim with PayPal and let them to decide it.

Finger cross I can get back my money.

Recovery on physical and speech

Terry has been getting better and better each day. All the collagen layers have been fall off now. Everyday everybody take turns to look after him and talk to him. Since he has gone through a bad trauma, he has not been talking since back home and afraid to look things outside the house (he will sleep on my shoulder and peek). Over the week, we have been very worried all of these.

I have tried to flip over the books he loves to read, put up all his favourite cartoons, play toys with him, make all silly funny did and etc, but still failed to makes him talk. He will interact with us with a smile, giggle or laugh, point out all the things he wants, shake his head when he heard us says those words that he knows and he will only say "ee, ee, ork ork, oh oh" only. He just don't want to speak out those words and objects he used to knows.

Everyday besides repeat all these activities, in the evening I will stroll him down to the park to watch kids running and play at playground area. He still not able to walk by himself. Need us to support at his armpit and walk with him (not a far distance yet). So the stroller which have kept aside for long have been taken out to use. No point to buy a new Maclaren stroller for a temporary use.

I have been thinking lots of possibility why he become like that. As before today, most of the time he still refuse to walk or stand. So I got to use many things to attract him to walk or crawl and to move his butt by himself. So far he did that yesterday. He shows more dramactically changes only starts from yesterday. In the morning, he refuse to let us clean him, he struggle too when we want to apply oil, cry badly, finally he shout out "bao bao" (hug). Ah...I relief soooo much, that only word he spoke was so precious to me. This shows that he not having speech difficulty. At night, he is much more better, he can name those animal from his music VCD, but still very little and slow.

Hopefully, as days pass he can back to his usual self more and more. Somehow I can't expect so much from him yet, just to help him to develop back his own usual Terry. His little body has gone through the pain, suffer and on almost 1 month drips, it is not easy to tolerate even for an adult. Later, we will go for check up appointment again. Will update more soon...

Recovering at home

Since discharged, he gets better on mood, appetite and the recovery on wounds. Fever, throat infection, stomach wind and lungs wheezing are all gone and hence I stop all the medicine that brought back from hospital. Those boosting immune food and nutrition products is still carry on now and having other chinese med like "boh ying tan" and "jun ging tan".

This was his current skin condition. The front part collagen is yet to fall off, the arm is quite ok too, only there are darker patches of grafted skin is there (uneven too, as there are not much skin being stick well when bandages open up on 5th day after skin grafting operation). The thigh dried collagen is all fall off, the back is almost ok, just left the lower back is where we quite worried about.

The wound is quite deep. According to doctor on yesterday check-up appointment, there is an option for fast healing, it is to do skin graft on it or took long time to heal. We choose the later one as I confident enough it will heal. The wound is actually getting smaller each day. Currently, the wound we apply thick cream on it and cover with swab to lesser down the preasure whenever we carry and move him. It will still wet and bleed if he rub or on big movement. For other drying area, olive oil is apply on it to make it wet and also to lesser down the itchy.

Only left the back wound is pain others are more on itchy now. He will use his hand to touch the harden and dried wound area and try to sratch it off. When we will stop him doing that and he will cry. Feet skin also very dry and it is peeling off. That I'm not worried too much as it is a sign of changing skin too.

He still weak to stand or walk or may be he feel the healing part is tearing, so he dare not to move. Sometime, I saw his hand is shaking. He is moving like a robot now, for sleeping and sitting position. All is depends on me to move him on all position. The quantity of milk he is having is back to normal, only solid and water is still taking a bit lesser. Nap 3 times a day.

It is still long way to go for him to take a shower. So everyday our job is rub to clean him, then change and rub olive oil and cream. Blow dry job is cutting down now, but still will do when needed especially the back area. Special hair dryer is use for the purpose. The wind couldn't be hot or cold. We bought the same one like the one use in hospital. It is Philips Salon Shine ION hair dryer. The wind is just nice, warm like baby warmer.

I hope all these tuff days will go away sooon.

Terry discharged on 25th days

For the total of the past 25 days we have been gone through lots of pain and suffering on body and soul. It is truly a horrible time to our family. Tomorrow finally we can discharge from hospital and back to our home sweet home.
Today Terry is much more better, at least he able to eat and drink. But he still looks weak. Currently fever subsided and doc is happy with his skin condition. For other small sickness like throat infection, lungs wheezing and stomach wind we will bring home medicines and treat it at home. There are still lots to do on his recovery from top to toe, in and out as well as follow-up treatment. This accident have bring great damage to his health and soul.
Other than that, we have some issue to sort out with the first hospital we admitted on the discharge fees. At the same time we met an immoral surgeon which have actually cause us more hurt and frustration. Complains and appeal will carry out step by step. Will talk more about that later.
Last but not least, a heartily thank you from us for your time spend in follow Terry's condition in this blog, your time remember him in your prayers, words of caring, support and concern have truly warm our heart. I'm sure God will continue to bless you too. For those who able to make a visits and send gifts from near or far thanks for that too, it has truly cherish us in another way.
This should be my last post through my mobile. I will continue to update Terry's condition and keep in touch with all of you as soon as I have time to access computer. Good night and have a great weekend.

Terry's condition on 22nd days

Pic-the back.
5th day after change hospital and doctor, the hurt and wound is getting better. The layer of very thin like tracing paper with collagen stick on his skin is start falling off as when it dry the top of wounds will turns black and the new skin will grows. Currently he was on drips, pain killer drips, antibiotics and some fever med.
The first 2 days after collagen dressing is very good, no fever and the front chest area dries up very quick. The back wounds is quite deep. Doc encourage us not to let him lay flat for long as it will slow down the skin dry. The purpose of drying is to speed up the recovery and not let the wounds get infection. This datuk level doc is kind of like you must follow his words and do the drying properly else the risk is on our own. By force or whatever, for our kid sake we got to force for not let him sleep flat and making it as dry as possible. Since that, we make the decision that to dry it non stop on the whole night till the next morning continuously for more than 6 hours instead of pausing it for every 15 min blow dry for 5 min. That night we only slept 1.5 hrs. I carry my boy put on my chest without giving clothes for him to wear and my mum hold on hair dryer and blow dry the back and thigh.
It was real difficult as the dries top layer is still not develop thick enough on top of the wounds, once we let him down to change diaper or let him sleep flat and he rub for itchy, it cracks and bleed. For the thigh after dries it, is the same situation too once having big move or carry, it cracks and bleed. Head ache. So we let him sleep side way, that good enough for drying the back but thigh is not really as it is still wet and sticky.
After more hard work of drying it is getting better. The 3rd day till today, the fever is back on and off. We not blow often already as he getting sick. He shiver when the temperature suddenly shot up. He did sweat but no appetite to eat after that. Just looks tired and sleepy. Sleep also not good, easy to get frighten and very grumpy. We started to suspect he might catch cold (blow too long hours) or the wounds got infected. Later saw that he having hard time to swallow and drink. So it is confirm the fever is came from throat infection and lil bit here and there. His breathing also start to get harder and there are slightly wheezing sound in his lungs. Nose drop and nebuliser will be given too. Till now, he is still all time sleep and want to drink water only.
For me, I'm still ok with my mum's help. We take turns to pat him to sleep at night by sleeping across the rear bed. I would say if my mum is still working and not available to help I would collapse. It is definitely not easy to take care. Of cause not enough sleep is very tired. Daytime when he sleep soundly I will sleep together too. Also need to be alert for not let him to scratch. All this doesn't matter, as long as he get recover and can go home soon.
If the drips course finish, he able to eat and the dry skin fall off more. It shall be the time we can go home. Thanks for all your time remember him in your prayer.

Met an inconsiderate ward neighbor

Yesterday there was this hot water burn baby girl 1 year old (mum vietnamese, dad US) stay beside us in a 2 bedded room. The mum can speak cantonese, mandrin and good slang of English.
As she and her baby back from OT, the baby cried badly and my dad who was here visiting us take a peek on them behind the curtain. Later, this fussy woman chase my dad out the room immediatedly without a word of PLEASE. Ok, fine my dad left. At night you know what she want, she ask us to switch off all the light above the bed. The light is not actually that bright too, as we already cover it with a towel. The lighting is quite of dime already. I can see her baby was no problem sleeping with the light on, she was the one can't sleep with light on even it is a dime one.
You know, we as adult as long as making the sick kid adapt, what so big issue is there for you not able to sleep. You were not here for holiday. We slept at 10pm, in between 1.5 hrs time she called the nurse for 3 times ask me to switch off the light. She said the light shouldn't be on while sleeping. It is very dark if were to off all and the corridor lighting is not bright enough to shine into our bed area. My boy was taking 2 drips and I got to stay awake to make sure he sleep well and all stuff. When the nurse came to me I just refuse to do so and she was so disturbing my sleep. She even so daring and ask us to change room on the 4th time message down to me by the head of nurse. Why not since she so fussy change to single room la..the head of nurse also talk to her in a stern tone for she can't have all lights off. The 5th time, finally she came to me and ask for it. I told her in an unpleasent tone for all the reason why I not want to do so. I even ask her to read the rules and regulation stick on the wall. It was stated there not to switch off the head light at night. *padan muka*
Finally, she went away and slept in a single room in adult ward. The whole ward also know the incident this morning and just now a cleaner told us she have discharge. What an inconsiderate ppl.

Terry's condition on 18th days

Pic1-left hand and thigh. Pic2-the grafted left thigh area. Pic3-the back. Currently Terry was not on bandages. All area are exposed and covered with a layer of collagen. For now, every half to 1 hour time we got to use hair dryer to blow dry the collagen area so that it is more fast to let it stick on his wounds. Basically now open up it is far more better than wrap up. It is not wet like previously where the medicine and cream is leaking. The grafted area is now something extra for him to take the pain. So far after the collagen dressing, he is not on fever. Today his emotion is quite bad. May be due to he is still on drip and having morfin. Taking the collagen also the only thing to do here. No more dressing and anesthetic need anymore. In total up today he have been on OT table for 7 times for such a small boy.

17th days condition: change doctor

Before we let the current doc to go further on doing 2 more time of skin grafting, we found and heard another Datuk level doc can handle burn case without need to do skin graft. Immediatedly we brought Terry over to this doc and examine by him. According to Datuk, Terry's case need not to go for skin grafting at all. To him Terry is not being burn till to the extend need to do skin graft. His burn is on early 2nd degree hurt. This doc will use collagen to recover him and it is a fast healing too.
This is definately a heavenly good news to us for Terry not need to suffer from pain anymore.
This doc is having 30 years experience in handling kid's burn case. And, doc have prove to us that no more skin need to cut anymore and all remaining hurt area include the thigh area will only take collagen to heal. Schedule need 2 more weeks for full recovery. Really thank God for he accept Terry case on continue giving medication on him.
After all the checking and doc understanding what the previous doc have done to Terry, immediatedly he wants us to admit him to his hospital and on the same night operation on dressing is carry out. We are now in another specialist hospital till he recover. To the previous doc i really have lost hope on him after doing skin graft. The Datuk is shaking his head after i show him what are the ointment that he is taking. The condition is not even that bad on what the previous doc try to explain to us after recovery. I really can't imagine how Terry will undergo the skin grafting pain if we not decided to change. I can tell you that the pain is not easy to tolerate. It is thousand times more than my labour pain. Terry is now forever my brave and strongest boy.

Thank you and update on 16th days

Thank you very much from bottom of my heart to etcetera~mommy (Yvonne), malaika's mummy (Chew Lee) and chumsyashley (Barbara) and previously to Annie Q, Sasha and Beelibaala for sending Terry get well soon gift baskets. I'm so touch for all other fellow blogger friends too for your concern and caring towards my boy condition. Your words and comments are really so encouraging me and Terry. Especially to those i'm barely know you like Barbara and some new blogger friends that i only saw you after this incident, thanks again for your kindness did.
No regret to know all great friends in blogsphere. As least i know there are many of u still around to hear and support me.
Updates on Terry's condition. The unheal area couldn't get recover is because of there is no more skin cell to build up new skin again. That's the purpose why skin graft need to be done now for a fast healing else it will scar badly and it will cramps up like dead skin as it recover. The dead skin later will cause his body slide aside cause the skin not stretching up anymore. Schedule need to do 2 more time skin graft for fully recover. Both thigh skin side by side will be use.
This week he obviously loose weight. His puffy cheek is gone and thigh is skinner. Dieterician is here to watch his food intake to make sure that he takes enough of calories and protein to help wounds to recover. At the same time, i'm giving E.Excel Millennium juice and Elken IG6 Colostrum to boost the immune system.

Terry's condition on 13th days

The condition after 4th dressing seems not doing better. The bad wounds are not manage to heal and today he needs to go under the operation for skin grafting.
Skin grafting is a patch of top skin layer surgically remove and paste on the burn and unheal area. Normally hidden skin area like buttock and inner thigh area will be use for the purpose. The grafted skin is use staples to stitch on the hurt area. Expecting his whole thigh skin will be use and the operation need to take several times to complete, can't do all at one go. One side per time of taking the thigh skin may not be enough to cover thus a repeat skin grafting will be taken from the same thigh again after it heals.
When i heard of this again my heart sank and i cried for he needs to take another pain. I was asking if my skin can be use, i certainly will give it away. Till yesterday we are still asking around to get more opinion to see if he really need that. Our plastics surgeon unit Dr. Kuladeva Ratnam said that is the best way to let him heal and after he heals down in 2-3 years time there are still lots to do on massaging his skin to make it grow back in smooth and skin toning. Terry was yelling and cried in pain and itchy in the past few days.
Here, I need more opinion if you have ever heard or come across any bad burn case, what are the solution during recovery and how they recover in making the skin looks close to original.

Terry's condition on 8th day

The face area is on 90% recover but body area is not really. Just saw the 3rd time bandages open up. For the white part is actually all dead cell which show no recovery. Now the doc need to shred it off the dead layer bit by bit as like paper thin on each dressing to let the new cell to grow up. For this it also help not to let the dead cell go deeper as to try to minimise the scar also. Today definitely need longer time to do the dressing.
Not taking much drips now, just fever med given when needed (at bottom). He also on skin itchy med to reduce the itchnesses. After last dressing, he able to sleep and have appetite to eat. My mum cooked him porridge with few ingredients. Ward meal is too plain and tasteless. Few spoons he had he push away. All day he needs us to pat on him even his eyes was closed. For this is one of the action to comfort him and for him to have secure feel. Sometime need to sing if patting not works.
Today I'm having the most painful and unhappy birthday in my life. If would God is to grant me all the wishes, I just want all the best to be given to Terry for a fast healing.

Terry's condition on 4th day

I was at operation theather now to wait for my boy doing d 2nd time change of dressing. He need to put to sleep wit anesthetis for about 30-40 min before starts doing d cleaning.
Just saw his burn area after open up d bandages. It was all in white which is no recovery sign while those pink area showing recovery sign. Bleeding happen when old bandages open up. His ear was having infection too aft checked by an ENT doc. His ear hole inside not being hurt. It is still too early to tell whether his skin will leave any marks.
He is much more grumpy n not really want to eat. But he like fruit juice a lot now. While milk only can hav like 0.5-1oz. Drip is still carry on all the way n he was having fever on n off between 38-40'C.
My heart was so pain when seeing him suffering. I really want that this hurt is on me and feel so sorry to Terry. Next Wednesday will do d dressing again. Till then update his condition. He needs to be monitor for 2 weeks. Thanks all for the wishes n gift. Do continue to pray for him.

Terry's current condition

Terry was having 20% hurt on his left body. Back part 2-3 degree deep of hurt while hand, face n chest is 1 degree. He was so dizzy all day long taking drops n wit fever on n off. Dont worry im alrite, just a bit tired.

Accident: Terry admitted to hospital

For half of his left body hurt by hot boiled water. I was turn away frm him while he tried to grasp the thermos cover, the whole small thermos which just fill wit hot water pours on him. His skin immediately peel off in red. Need 2 stay hospital a week.

Petrol hike, what can we do?

With the recent unreasonable rise of petrol price, it really burden up all our pocket. The percentage spending on transportation is increase tremendously now and we got to balance it up by cutting down other expenses. Complains for the hike are still roaring everywhere, don't ever think the price will decrease and hope for any better rebate, we need to think for alternative and practise how to save fuel.

Imagine what if one day the petroluem is out of supply and the petroleum farm no longer produces petrol. So we got to walk? cycle? or need to charge our car using battery. I believe that is a possibility there. This video is quite funny, this is what will happen on the road if one day we are not driving anymore.


There are still ways replacing the use of petrol, like using liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Hopefully the government can fully inplement the use of LPG gas and widely install gas filling pump and station. My dad's taxi rans on LPG gas, he needs around RM8 to fill up the full gas tank that can last for about 110-120km.

Hopefully in near future we can have few more choices on energy to run our vehicle like using the sun solar energy or water. There is a study now about the cars can run on water (read here).

Photo Hunters: Self (yourself or part of you)

Took this few days ago when our cell group member having a simple mamak farewell with Chris.

Do we look alike in this photo? Yes? hehe...she is my sister, I mean Sis-in-Christ. One is the cheerful girl in our Gentle Cell Group, she is leaving us for good to pursue her plan on foster service (exchange program) in Wheaton, Chicago for 1 year time or may be longer.

We will going to miss her around in church and cell group, hopefully she able to cope with her new living there and enjoy her service at the new home. I think this is the first time she fly away far from home and for long time too. Chris, all the best to you and do take care when you are there (((hugss)))

Thats both of us the speckies there and Chris is on my left. Oh ya, that's Roti Tisu.

When he bored with his toys....

...he plays water tumbler. That was his first time doing it while I'm busy in the kitchen. He seems enjoy playing with it quietly there. I didn't bother to call him too and watch him from far.

When I'm done in the kitchen, I go near to him and he looked at me. He don't even bother when I holding camera near to him (normally he will grasp). He don't even afraid that I will start to raise my voice, smack him or take away the bottle. (normally when he realize that he can't play on something that he having, immediately he will pass the thing to me)


He mess with the water and get wet his pant too. Later, I brought him to change and gave a killer stare for his naughty did.

Terry is 2!

How time flies extremely fast and it is another year. I still remember every bits of his birth, his growing moments, 1st birthday celebration and today we celebrate his 2nd big day.

Today is his actual birthdate, but we have done the celebration on Sunday (18/5). That evening we brought him to play at Kid's Adventure Land in Jusco Taman Maluri. This was his second time play in kid's land. We have dinner first at Ichiban Ramen, then we proceed to play there later.

This round he is more ok with it, able to enjoy and play by himself. But I still follow him in and out to make sure he not hit down by those older kids and also help him climb up the slide. He loves all the colorful balls and balloons till he kept saying "ball, ball, ball". He even sleep, roll, kick, throw and try to "swim" on the ball...haha..




He got tired when he hold tight the OUT gate, we then pay and leave. Later, he saw kid's ride and especially on Thomas Train one. He kept pointing to it and so ok I let him down for a while, he keep touching it and giggle there. Since we leaving, he cried out loud and make fuss there when I grab him away. I keep on pointing and said there is another one on the way back to our car park. Till we got inside the car he kept quiet.

Back home, we cut cake and sing song.

Once he saw he cake, he give a WOW and started to blow even before the candles put in and light up. We then sing song and he claps, he try to blow the candles hard later, but couldn't blow off, so I help him.

That's was the simple celebration for him, hope he likes it.

Message to Terry:
Boy, Happy 2nd birthday to you. Papa and mama is happy to see you growing up. You always making all of us happy with your cheeky did and funny conversation. You bring us so much joy to this new family. Hope that you continue to grow healthier and stronger. Forever you are our lovely boy, papa mama love you very very much.
