Why no hair, ah?

Bubble Blowing

First of all, I would like to thank everyone that was concerned over Eu's hand and the well wishes for Tien. The swell and bruises had gone, and the wounds are healing well for Eu, though ocassionally he would peel at the scar, and causes it to bleed again. Tien has recovered from HFMD, and eating well now. Brought them out to Seletar reservoir on Saturday morning for some fresh air and bubble blowing fun!

Hand-Foot-Mouth disease

Today is the fifth day since Tien had the virus. Still refused to eat and drink during the day. The mouth blisters must be extremely painful, as she simply loves to eat. Even feeding her medication was not too much of a problem. Not this round. I need one person to hold her down, in order to force the pain relief into her throat. Oh, I really pray that the ordeal will be over very soon. The pain is so much that she will cry even by just swallowing her own saliva! The doctor had wanted her to be hospitalised for drip. But I just don't have the heart to let her suffer further. Other than not eating and drinking during the day, she is behaving normally, running and playing. Her milk in take at night has been increasing, and that's a good sign.

I love to draw!

Criticism

I read with a heavy heart on today's report about the criticism on the management of the Nepalese twins by family. After finishing the story, I wonder does the critic has any children? Does she understand how a parent feels when his or her child is suffering physically or emotionally, and in many cases both? Does she know the strain it had on parents and family who look after them? I have always believe on a Chinese phrase: "every family has its own bitter story to tell". Even if the allegation of this second visit was to get sympathy money was true, there must be a reason behind it. No one is in the position to criticize how a parent manage a child, unless he or she is being abused. All parents with a sound mind will wish for the best for their children.

Mishap on the escalator

Oh my! Twice in a row, for two weeks, unfortunate things happened during my weekly grocery shopping at IMM. Eu had his left hand stuck at the side of the escalator this round. All four fingers were bruised, some parts of the skin was being peeled off and blood was oozing from the cuts. The frightened daddy called the shopping mommy to abandon the grocery buying and sent Eu to the nearest clinic for a check-up. Thankfully, no fracture bones. I'm beginning to wonder, who is down on luck: me or Eu? Probably both.

A little toy to cheer eu eu.

I lost Mickey

As usual, brought Eu for grocery shopping at IMM in the morning. And he, as usual, brought along his little friend, a Mickey mouse plush toy. It was a souvenir from hubby's convention, which was held at World Disney Resort in January this year. As usual, we got a shopping trolley at the supermarket, and started our weekly routine. While we were walking down the aisle, Eu wanted his Mickey friend to sit on the little space where toddler sits. Okay, everything was fine until we reached the vegetables and meats section, which as always were packed with people. As usual, I placed the trolley at a nearby less crowded area, and went off to pick my stuff. Did come back a few rounds to place the food stuff into the trolley, and Mickey was still lying on the seat. However, when I was about to finish and wanted to leave the section, I suddenly realized Mickey was MISSING! That was Eu's favourite pal, and now it's GONE! I broke out in cold sweat. What am I suppose to do? Went round the supermarket, hoping to see someone holding Eu's Mickey, but it was a useless search.

Went over to ToyRs at night, in hope to buy one back for Eu. No luck, the sales staff told me they do not have such merchandise. Eu did ask for his Mickey, and I replied:" Where did you leave Mickey?" Eu with a shrug of his shoulders answered:" I don't know?" Oh, I'm so full of guilt when I said those words. I knew he will not push further as long as I push the question back to him, as long as he is not cranky. From his eyes, I knew he understood Mickey was lost. I'm waiting for the bomb to explode. Anyone know where I can get a Mickey mouse plush toy?
