Darren caught fever

Poor kid was sticking to me like glue on Monday. Loss of appetite and flu over last weekend suspiciously looks like a bout of fever.

Took him to Dr Seong for checkup. Confirmed sore-throat.

Medicine for the throat, flu and fever were given.

Grandma took care of him on Tuesday. Seems like his normal active self now.

But woke up at 6.30am on Wednesday morning crying for Grandma. How he knows I'm sending him back to nursery today? haha he knows.

At the nursery, reminded Ms Phan to give him the medicines for sore-throat and flu only by noon. Don't want him to feel drowsy whole day.

Raining Cats And Dogs

Last Friday was raining very heavily. The road outside in-laws' residence was flooded to knee length. House not affected though.

On the way back to home with Darren, took the road thru the Tanah Putih traffic light, to Jln Wong Ah Jang and Kampung Tengah. Didn't cross my mind the Kg Tengah road was partially flooded. No wonder cars avoided the later stretch of this road. Even a 4WD ahead of me also turned right out of this road.

The water covered the full wheel on my Kenari. I stuck to gear two, did not stop and maintained slow speed. When I saw a Wira dead in the waters ahead, I turned left into the Kampung residence and came out to Kampung Jawa road. Home-free!!

Luckily it was a Kenari, if my SEG, sure to get stuck in the waters.

The next day, found that the Kenari's number plate was ripped off by the flood water. A little bit of junk like leaves and a straw was sticking to the radiator grill. Replaced the number plate for RM12.

Nursery - 3rd Day

Today is the 3rd day Darren was placed at Little Friends Nursery.

The 1st day we left him without properly informing him. So when his grandma went to fetch him, I guess he missed them and home, and cried when he saw them.

He did not eat well, probably picky, and went to grandma's house and finished a whole quarter of a mooncake. Also finished a bowl of rice powder and a bottle of milk.

Looks tired at night. A bit grumbly though.

The 2nd day, he was a bit blur and excited to attend the nursery among other children and play toys. No problem dropping him off. Said goodbye as usual.

He ate quite well although needs some spoon-feeding. Slept well but maybe 2 hours not enough. Still grumbly and sleepy-looking.

But today, when drop him off, refused to go. Throws tantrum. Hurriedly said goodbye while the teachers carried him off.

He cried at first but later play with other kids but with a few bouts of shoutings.

All this are expected on a different environment and among unknowns. Takes time.

hahaha Darren's grandpa felt heartache of his crying and fetched him home at 3pm.

The Sign Of Things To Come?

While leaving my house early this morning, I was stopped by my next door elderly neighbor. Apparently, upon returning from her daily morning routine walk to the pasar pagi a short distance away, she had her purse and mobile phone snatched!! Same modus operandi of a biker coming from behind the unsuspecting victim.

She has to borrow my phone to call her daughter to open the house gate for her. Thankfully, she was not harmed or injured, a bruise was visible on her right arm though. She mentioned it's not the stolen money that matter, it's the hassle of reporting to the police and re-applying for the lost MyKad and other documents.

My small neighborhood is normally quiet and peaceful and a robbery of this sort is usually rare. With the decline in the economy, we have to expect crimes to escalate almost everywhere.

Just a word of advise: be careful everywhere you go, no matter whether you are driving or walking, going out of the house or coming back into your house, always be vigilante. You can never be too safe. Not anymore.

08.08.08

Where was I during the opening ceremony of Olympic 2008 in Beijing, China? In Malaysia la, of course but I did not watch it 'live' on TV. I was getting transformed !!

I was at a talk on Public Mutual unit trust fund. It was an eye-opener unlike other direct-selling companies. It was a way to educate others to invest their hard-earned money for their future. Already I signed up as an agent on this auspicious day. In a way I can earn a lot of commission from the sales.

Happy 2nd Birthday

Darren's Birthday celebration at in-law's residence, 31st May 2008.

Candlelights were placed in the house. The living room is filled with balloons (actually less than 20) of various shapes, ranging from funny-eared mouse to funny-eared rabbits (!!??).

Lights were switched off and the cake was brought out into the living room. The look on the little rascal's face was a expected surprise. He seems to know today is his special day, surprisingly well-behaved the whole day.

The Little Monster

Yo, what's happening ??

CNY at May's residence.

Darren too engrossed with his usual activities to notice bro Cheong placed a mandarin orange skin on his hood.

Fortune Flower Seeds STOLEN ??!!

This was how the seed looked like


Just back from Grandma's funeral and guess what I found at the house porch? NOTHING !!!

The flower seed which was growing is MISSING !! STOLEN !!

Who the mothafucka did this will be cursed to be hit be a truck. No, he/she won't die there & then, just lie in vegetative state while the seeds from my flower continue to grow !!!

Now I will never know when the next one will grow.
