Missy Muffins

Today, my colleague went to q for Missy Muffins at Amoy street. I asked her to buy 3 for me and other of our colleagues also ordered. These 3 were intended for my 3 girls, because they have requested for quite sometime, but always long q. Finally, I have a chance to try. However, we were disappointed. She bought banana, mocca, and blueberry for me. And my other colleagues too have banana. But when one of them tried the banana and tasted terrible. The banana essences was too strong, the after taste was bad too. So i decided to bring my 3 muffins for my other colleagues to try instead of bringing home for my girls. Terrible, one said it tasted like antibiotic, i think it tasted like "strong perfume" of banana, etc.

Later, at home, my girl also said that is not nice....don't want!

I think my office colleague wouldn't patronised the shop again bah....just that it is still so long q, i said, probably they are 1st timer like us loh....

But i would suggest, next time when trying new product don't buy too many even if there are many people buying. Just buy 1 to try if nice then next time can buy more, otherwise it is really very wasteful :(

I m really very disappointed :C

Nightmare Over?

They have not been fevering for more than 36 hours now, hope this will really end my nightmare of 2 weeks. In the end, we did not go to kk hospital for blood test as their temperatures were very much under control under 39.d. So we continued monitoring at home instead. And we gave alot of coconut water, pear, herbal tea....and finally the mangoesteen...

This is the worst sickness they ever have, fever last for so many days and all of them! Each of them have fever for 7 days and the temperatures were high!

And Thank you all of you for your concern! :D

Terrible week

I have not been working since Tuesday and have been visiting doctors since Tuesday and still going tomorrow morning.

My no 2 fall sick on Sunday, her temperature shot up to 40.d. But my regular doctors are closed and need to see the expensive doctor. The doctor gave her 3 days MC and asked to see him if she dont get well by Wednesday.

Monday, i need to go office so she was resting at my mum's place. And also need to collect the maid's passport and work permit and inform the agent that she refused to see dentist when she has terrible toothache since last Friday. I was quite mad at her on Monday morning when she asked if she can have more painkillers. I wanted to bring her to dentist on Sunday she refused and my girl is now v sick, i still need to worry about her, so was rather piss off. And asked the agent to call her. - My girl's temperature still high and vomited

Tuesday, I was not working, after settle my girl, i brought the maid to the dentist....very expensive tooth extraction....the dentist said because her tooth was too decayed and easily cracked, so her bill could be about $180....wow what a expensive tooth!....so finally, the bill was only $130, lucky the tooth din break into pieces....My girl still no good, temp still running high and still vomit.

Wednesday, rainy, girl running high temperature and vomit the fever medicine, thinking of going to KK A&E, however in the morning the temperature return to normal and she slept for half an hour, we had lunch at 11.45, then she temp start to climb until afternoon i give her the medicine and she still throw out and then the temp is already 40.d, took a cab because it was raining and still kena jam about at CTE, aiyo....then the nurse at the registration took down her details and give the pink fever medicine and asked me to go to the RED DOOR and shower her! SHOWER! omg that is the worst fear of having children taking cold shower in the hospital. Lucky there was no communication between the counter nurse and the nurse in the red door. SO if they din ask me i keep quite....and seriously, the nurse only took her blood test and wait for 45 mins for the results.

Finally, we get to see the doctor before the result was out. He is very funny, i said i left the her medicine outside, and asked me to go get while he talk to my girl. When i returned, he commented, "why she fever until she lost her voice"...i was like huh! then i realised was that my girl din reply his questions!.....hahahaha what a joke! then he order medicine to be insert to stop her vomiting and wait for an hour then start wi water 15ml every 15 mins. Then in between we get to see doc after the result was out, everything was ok except abit low blood. Finally after so many round of waiting, and taking the fluid and seeing, the doctor asked wanna go home? of course....since no more vomiting and the fever has gone down abit but not normal yet....there we left....

In the night, the old people asked, could it be "毛丹", since it is high fever and vomiting....so we tested using a hot hard boiled egg. But this is the first time we are doing the "experiment", dont know what to expect to see....after rubbing the hot hard egg on her body, we opened the egg, and saw the egg yoke surfaced not smooth texture but like 一粒一粒 on the outer side of the egg yoke....so need to see Chinese doctor.....

Thursday morning, see Chinese doctor....wow so many ppl all are old people....after an hour of waiting we get to see the doctor.....so 毛丹= 湿热.....and the doctor only give 1 day Chinese medicine and go back n see him again tomorrow, the cost $44 WOW!

This is worst then working in the office....at if i m working i dont travel here and travel there, and rushing and rushing.....and at night also terrible, need to monitor her temperature hourly. Many nights her temperature was high like 39.6-40. then must wake her up to take medicine, and the medicine need at least 1 hour to see the result. While waiting, we were sponging her....lucky thing was she din really make a fuss.......haiz!!!!!!!and she also seldom fall sick. The last time was like 9 months back....

Terrible when the child fall sick, everyone suffered, sleepless night and very costly. This fever i think it costly abt $200....

Potter found

Potter was found abt 3 plus yesterday afternoon, the same spot as Harry, but he wasnt there in the morning when we was searching the area. Until my girl said that Potter was in the room behind the book shelf.....He was so hungry and thirsty when he was returned to his cage.....hahahaha....he probably wouldnt think of escaping again!

Hamster Escape!

In march holiday, we bought the 2nd hamster, hoping to put them together, but cannot, the moment the new hamster enter the big cage, it was attacked. SO we put them in different cage. Though they are the same "Winter White", they are very different!. We name them Harry & Potter. Since they both male......

The 1st hamster (Harry)dont drink much water, and ok to sunflower seeds as food. But the new hamster (Potter) drinks alot and prefer mix-food. When we put them in the ball for them to move around the house, only Harry gets the chance, because potter always urine....and wet around.

Few weeks ago, Harry escaped from its cage twice in a morning. Thats was a Sunday. And MIA for a few hours until we found him behind a bookshelf with a roach! and nothing happened between the 2. We have since tightened the security for harry....

Today, again a Sunday, Potter escaped from its cage until now it still MIA. Now is already afternoon....still no sight of it.....I leave open it cage for food and it water bottle facing out, in case he is hungry and thirsty!

"Most Expensive Rice!"

Most expensive rice in the market now! Before CNY, the price was like $9.50, then in march was $10.50. Now, today the price is $13.80 for 5kg. By eating this expensive rice will it help us healthier? Wealthier? NO! It will not, but will make us poorer instead! Eating rice is just filling our stomach, so why bother to go and buy so expensive rice.....we used to eat this brand too...but now we have switched, trying NEW MOON, not too bad la....and switching if the price still climbing up for NEW MOON...."双虹" also not bad, if even cheaper....just dont understand, is there a need to really eat this expensive rice (except the RICH).....sigh!

not only the rice, the cooking oil too. When i first buy the NTUC Rice Bran oil, the price was $3.55, that was also before CNY. Today, the price is $4.45 per litre....I shld have stock-up some bottles...heehee....but i dint.....sigh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY TO VICTORIA!
