Fever go away

I just recovered from a fever 2 days ago. Never had a fever before this. None of us (me, ah ma, Daddy and mummy) knew how horrible it can be until that day. I woke up close to midnite on Sun crying. Mummy tried to pat me back to sleep but I kept crying. So she got off her bed and tried to carry me, and felt my head was very hot. Daddy went to get the thermometer to check my temperature. I was having a high fever of 39.1C. Immediately, Daddy and mummy changed to bring me to the hospital. Before we left, I vomitted my last milk feed. When we reached the hospital, my temperature came down to 38.9C. I was immediately attended to by the doctor. Doctor said my fever was due to a gastric flu. The nurse inserted a suppository through my backside to prevent vomitting again. I cried as it was uncomfortable. We went home after collecting medicine. Poor Daddy only slept for 1+ hour that day as I got to take medicine every 4 hours.

Mummy stayed at home on Monday to take care of me with ah ma. My temperature went up and down like roller coaster the whole day. I was cranky and clingy, kept wanting to be carried. I could only take rice water as a start as the nurse told mummy to go slow in the food intake for fear I would vomit again. Without food, I was lethargic but still wanting to go gai gai. To pacify me, ah ma took me out for a short walk on 2nd floor. On the second day I felt better as I slept a lot and with regular intake of medicine. Ah ma cooked my favourite steamed fish to go with plain porridge for lunch and I finished it all. Mummy also started to give me diluted milk in the afternooon. In the evening, ah ma cooked fish porridge which I also hungrily gobbled down. By then, my temperature has stabilised and the fever was gone. The adults concluded that I must be too hungry (practically "fasting" on Monday) as such my body was too weak to fight the virus.

On Wednesday, I was back to my old self, running around and kept asking to go out for more walks.

"Fever go away...never come back again"

Bubble Fun

Daddy bought a bubble gun at a pasar malam. I was fascinated with the various sizes of the bubbles that can be created. I didnt quite like it the first time I was introduced at about 10 months old at the Gymboree class. But now I changed my mind!

A day at Fidgets

Daddy and mummy took a day leave because ah ma has something on and cant take care of me. Daddy and mummy decided to bring me to Fidgets to play. Previously we went on a Saturday and it was very crowded so we ended up going home. We decided to give it a try again since it's a weekday which should be less crowded. Indeed only a handful of kids, almost like having the whole place to myself. Weee...it was fun. I had the most fun at the baby section, hee, because there's a cushioned staircase for me to walk up and down and I am crazy over climbing the stairs.

Jealous?

Last Friday morning, plus 1 and I were having fun running around at the playground on 2nd floor. Towards the end, plus 1 was tired and because ah ma was standing at where he could conveniently reach, he asked ah ma to carry him and lay flat in her arms. Upon seeing that, I went to look for plus 1's ah ma. She thought I wanted her to carry but I didnt want to. Instead I pulled her to where plus 1 and ah ma were standing and signalled for her to carry plus 1 and return my ah ma back to me. When ah ma told mummy the story, mummy said it was an act of jealousy but she's proud that I didnt make a big fuss by crying buckets. Instead I handled it calmly and "maturely" by getting plus 1's ah ma to carry plus 1 back. *clap clap*

Recent days of my life

1. Whenever I see a cat/dog/bird, I will catch Daddy/mummy's attention, then point at the "target" and say "there"

2. Like climbing up and down the stairs. And the latest "craze" is the escalator. Always want to take the escalator up and down.

3. I've finally reached the height where I can open and close the bedroom doors. I like to open and close them. Unfortunately, the main door is a little bit tricky, I have yet to master it. Will try harder.

4. When we reached home, instead of aiming for the door stopper, I will be now ensuring everyone has stepped in before I close the door. Some days when I noticed the main door is ajar, I would "alert" Daddy and pull him to the door to close it. Only then I will let go. Mummy said I am a good housekeeper. haha

5. I like to pull the adults to follow where I want to go, meaning I will first pull their hand to attract their attention, then drop their hand, walk off but always turning back to ensure they are following me.

6. I will sway my hands and body when I hear music. I like loud music.

7. I change my mind about plain bread. I asked for it even after I finished my meals. Now I want to try Daddy and mummy's food when they eat out. I realised I have been missing out the "good" stuff all this while. Sigh.

8. I kind of like Elmo. I've been watching his vcds. I know mummy likes the way Elmo laughs.

9. I will remind the adults to help me wear shoes when we go out.

10. I expect the adults to clap their hands when I have done something correctly. Sometimes, I start the ball rolling by clapping my hands first. Hee.

11. I've been helping mummy to throw my used diapers in the bin.

Just woke up from morning nap. Relaxing and watching a ch 8 drama (repeat) while waiting for lunch to be served.
