Viral Infection = High Fever

E was down with yo yo fever for the past few days. Only today afternoon after our second visit to KK that she finally got over the yo yo fever. Apparently after urine tests, blood tests that all showed negative, they conclude that its a viral infection that caused the fever to yo yo up and down.

Especially worrying part is with her taking her panadol the fever could still hit a high of 40.5 and that was scary for me. The surprise that came out of it was that we realised how resilent E can be and how as parents we turned out to be. The exceptionals were the fact that how family support rallied behind us to assist, help, doing whatever everyone can. i was especially appreciative of the fact that my grandma was all giving all the suggestions (traditional) but I think I fully appreciate all the things done so as to get the fever down. I was pissed of with the doc at the neighbourhoodthat we first went, he said sore throat only although we told him that she had an eariler throat infection. Hai, should have went to KK first thing when her fever hit the 38.5 mark.
But once it hit 39, it was KKH at 9.30pm. We were there till 2am where they did a urine test and twice a urine bag was placed and twice it did not collect well until the doc managed to take a sample from the second not so well collected urine then it showed negative and the doc cleared her to go home with panadol and antibiotic and deduce it to be a viral infection.Third night, t did not go down we went back again this time at to go back again and this time they did a blood test and it showed negative but each time we went there, we went through passage 11 where all the emergency cases was sent for immediate care. So anyhow, she is better now, with her fever subsiding with constant sponging as well as monitoring her temperature and having her take her medication, all she can is to fight the infection the best she can. From the current status of it, I think she is winning the battle.

Ramble ramble

Fine, I ramble...i can go on and on and on with my rambling. Well what to do, I have thoughts.haha.
Any case, been really tired out lately and thinking about how E is like.

She is intelligent, mischievous, impish, happy, cheery and happy. Most of the things are positive..wait wait. She is very active too. Only thing I blame is my schedule and H's schedule. The way we do it, she does not get a regular bedtime. And that is not a good thing at all. She used to knock out at 9pm and now she conks out about 10plus 11pm. Not good at all.

The way i see it, we need to work a routine. And I need to learn how to drive. damn it.

In General and more

1)I have noticed how my blog gets read but I have absolutely no idea who reads it.
2)I am suffering from the continuous body ache that has no cure ( I have started on a massage package but then again its only once a month...)
3)I am so tired this week and I realised that being off from work gives me more things to do at home...so break = more work at home = no break and harder work
4)Constantly amazed by the ignorance of some and then realising at the end of day it was stupidity (this is a long story that relates to why I was so pissed off at the person who schedule H to work on X'mas Eve, so P****head if you are reading this...don't let me meet you otherwise I WILL MAKE YOU CRY!)
5)How Singapore English is a combination of the Queen's English and the American English.
6)I need to get more organised
7)I actually enjoy X-Factor more than Singapore Idol or American idol (but I am looking forward to this season before Simon Cowell pulls the plug cos Ellen Degeneres is on the judging panel)
8)Elayna's 10mths and I have yet to shed the next 50% of the pregnancy weight (must change my diet)
9)Back to point 4) - You are so freaking lucky that you may not meet me at all otherwise I will tell you that you lack the brains and the organisational skills for any kind of organisation, brains have not been factored into your production and I PITY YOU!
10) I can be really nice one second and the next if you happen to tread badly on my toes, I will be mean, scarcastic and thoughtless with pure poison of honesty pills to you if, think Ken Lim was bad, Simon Cowell was mean...they have not met me YET!
11)Love the fact that Elayna's close to turning one but finding out that the chalets are close to fully booked at the period that we are looking at holding one!ARGH! HOW TO HOLD ONE YEAR OLD PARTY!!!!
12)Amazed by the fact that Elayna is now 10months old and I am a mom for the past 10months and still sane and loving every second of it!
13)Struggling to finish 2 books that I had started..only accomplishment, finished one and did not start on another...
14)Have had Asus Eee for about a few months now and never did do the file transfer to it....HELP ME SOMEBODY! I am such a technic goondu!
15)Deciding whether or not to get a iphone when my plan is about to expire in 2010...I want the loyalty voucher and plus I think I am 70% sure just need more info....
16)Still contemplating whether to complain about the lousy driving instructor from CDC. Its about my lesson time that was ALREADY PAID BEING eaten up by the instructor who was so bloody lazy.Long story....
17)Need to take my final theory and start learning....
18)Need to start looking for childcare for Elayna...
19)Need to start planning for 2010 first Q
20)Realised that this list is starting to look like a resolution list for 2010..Ending now before I really start one...but I need to start planning more at home..

Being Petty or being upset

Now what is the difference with the above statement. 1) represents an individual who is resented by mulling over something that does not affect him/herself greatly.

2)Represents a geninue concern over something with a slight level of disappointment and resentment that spills over an extended period of time.

I am currently at number 2. An incident over the weekend last week kinda hurt my feelings and its really something that really bothered me over an extended period of time. And sometimes, simply saying sorry is not good enough. It wasn't the first time it happened and thats why it bothers me so much. So that is why saying sorry is not good enough. It hurt me deeply and I don't know if I can trust this again.

ALERT *May contain Spoilers for THE H*

Differences between Mums and Wives.

1)Mom will say why do you buy such clothes, the wife just buys the clothes for you.

2)Mom will wash the underwear and buy new underwear whether or not you need it, the wife will ask "you need new underwear meh?"

3)Mom will simply throw away the underwear that has holes in them, the wife will buy new ones and then secretly throw away the ones with holes for you.

4)Mom will wash the laundry for you, the wife will ask "y didn't you help with the laundry?"

5)Mom will always say, go to sleep first, the wife will say, sleep so early for what? Still got things to do at home you know.

6)Last but not least, Mom will always buy groceries at home, the wife will say "we need to buy groceries at home already."

Cheers!

Little Nine Month old Baby

Ahhh....Elayna's now finally at nine months and very soon she will be at 10mths and she will be celebrating her first Christmas with all of us! So so happy that she will turn 10mths on Christmas Eve but too bad Hubby will be busy with work. We can't spend her 10mths old together. But the plus side is that we will be able to spend my birthday together, yay!

I really love to spend time with her..even when I am sick. I was so sick the last weekend, feeling all woozy and giddy but still when it comes to her I am so awake. I think that Friday public holiday just made my body just go off the biological clock and turn all tired out and finally it all came down on me and I just simply hit the sick button.

Now that Elayna can crawl very well and starting to stand quite steadily. She is an amazing little baby and I really get amazed by her learning ability every single day. I am so looking forward to bringing her out on my birthday to see the christmas lights... woo hoo!! Merry Christmas!
