10 million dollars!

If I had 10 million dollars, I will
  • pay in full for our current Punggol flat,
  • buy an apartment at Amber View - the one with the nice balcony overlooking the sea,
  • get a beetle for myself and paint it pink!
  • get a car for Asri too,
  • invest in blue chips,
  • save for Kyan and Rayden,
  • distribute part of my wealth to mum and sis,
  • go for a well-deserved holiday for the whole family,
  • go shopping and get presents for everyone I know!
  • donate a large sum to children and cancer charities

CNY 2008 - the not-so-pleasant part

Then came the third day. Rayden had fever and it didn't go down despite the medicine. It got worse on Sunday morning so I brought him to the GP downstairs. He was given Brufen- a stronger fever medicine and Oralcort - a cream for his ulcers in the mouth. I suspect that he had HFMD but the GP wasn't sure.

His ulcers became worse. More started appearing in his mouth, on his tongue, gum and lips. He was so cranky that he couldn't sleep or feed. He didn't even want to suckle. He was still having high fever of 39 degrees.

Then on Monday morning we brought him to see Doc Sim. He said the poor boy's mouth was full of ulcer and that he was in a lot of pain. My heart felt so pained. He said to spoonfeed him with milk and to let him have ice cream and yoghurt. These will help to soothe his throat. He was given Difflam- a gel for ulcers and Tonimer- a throat spray.

We spoon fed him with cold expressed milk and Heinz fruit gel. He quite liked it. Despite being sick, he could still clap his hands when we asked him to. My little brave boy.

Then came the many sleepless nights cos the little one refused to sleep on the bed and needed someone to carry him all the time. Both Asri and I were completely exhausted.

Now my only hope is that Kyan doesn't infected by it.


CNY 2008 - the happier part

We had 2 full days of visiting. 1st day was to all the aunties' houses and 2nd day was to Sally Jie Jie's house for sharkfin's then everyone came to our place for dinner. Kyan was delighted at seeing his house full of people, so much so that he was actually quite sad when all left. He didn't verbalise it but just remained very quiet when we were cleaning up the house. Poor boy. Rayden was clinging tightly to Mummy or Daddy cos everyone was trying to carry him.
