Gardasil Side Effects

My goodness! I've taken this vaccinne and now come all these news about serious side effects and unknown long term effects it may bring. I must say that I was lucky to not have any side effects at all through out all my 3 shots. But what about any other long term side effects that may only surface later??

Well, guess there is nothing much I can do. Just pray, hope and have faith that the vaccine will only bring positive effects; to prevent HPV infection that is.

Milano Double Chocolate

Wow! I almost forgotten how good these cookies are!

It has been easily 7 years ago that I last had this. I still remember the person who introduced this brand of cookies to me. I think it taste even better now since I've not eaten it for so long; or maybe its the sweet memory it brings back :o)

Hmm... don't think this packet will last more than an hour when hubby finds out :x

Passport to travel!

The last time we traveled was last January to Chiangmai. Ever since we had darling daughter, travelling has really been a luxury. It is not the financial issue, but we have problem getting someone to care for darling while we are away.

Was 'itching to travel' since it has been awhile but to our astonishment; hubby's passport was missing!!! Cheng cheng cheng cheng... how to travel without a passport !?

After making a police report and submitted his passport application at the immigration department, was told to call back after a month to check on status. Thank goodness they finally 'completed the investigation' and he got his passport yesterday. Now... let's see where shall we go...

Outing Ideas

We are quite boring and lousy parents. We normally just bring our girl to the playroom downstairs at our condo or bring her to the bookshop. Although she enjoys both activities very much, but I really think we should have more interesting and educational activities for her.

We brought her to the zoo as part of her "birthday celebration" and she had so much fun. Still talking about it even it was almost 2 months ago that we went. She will still says "Hippopotamus was having a bath", "Elephant was eating banana", "Supposed to see penguin, but penguin gone home" (we told her there will be penguin at the zoo (her favourite animal) but was disappointed to find none! the 'cold room' was empty!!) and many more.

Coming Labour Day holiday, we are planning to bring her to the Aquaria at KLCC. Hope she will enjoy it.

Other activities in the pipelines:
- Bird Park
- Bukit Cahaya
- a beach?

Multi-lingual Playhouse Disney Channel

I never knew Playhouse Disney Channel (channel 613 on Astro) has multiple language selection. Learned about this by chance and found out Pokoyo is available in Bahasa & Mandarin too!

We are trying to get our girl to pick-up Mandarin as a preparation for her to go to Mandarin kindie and primary school. So I put on Pokoyo in Mandarin for her this morning; but she doesn't like it :( Keep saying "I don't want this..."

She can speaks minimal Mandarin now, such as:

• zhe ge shi shum more (what is this?)
• how pu how (Is it good?)
• low shu (mouse)
• mei yo le (no more)
• pu jien le (missing)

Mui Mui 'Reading'

Mui Mui as we fondly call our 2 year old little girl; is into 'reading' these days. Not that she can actually read, but she 'pretends to be reading' by flipping her books and recite the stories we have read to her from her memory.

She can 'read' the whole 5 pages of Little Read Riding Hood.

Her favourite lines from Alice in Wonderland: "Alice was tired of sitting at the bank with nothing much to do. The sun is making her sleepy and she is just wondering about making a daisy chain when a rabbit ran past saying oh dear! oh dear! I shall be too late. Taking a watch from his waistcoat pocket. Alice has never seen a rabbit with waistcoat or a pocket watch, so she followed him to see where he is going. When the rabbit went down a rabbit-hole. Down went Alice after it. Suddenly, Alice felt herself falling. She landed on a heap of dry leaves. Oh dear! How late it is getting, she heard the rabbit saying..."

From Sleeping Beauty: " Hahh! Screamed a cruel mocking voice. Heed the spell of Carabos! On her fifteenth birthday, the princess will pricked her finger on a spindle and die!..."

Sick, sick, sick!

We have been all sick! Seems there are some serious bugs around.

My girl vomited, had diarrhoea and super high fever (up to 39.5 degree Celcius!) from Sunday till Wednesday. I've been coughing for almost 2 weeks now and was down with stomach flu at the same time when my daughter was sick. Can you imagine driving to the doctor's clinic, sponging your burning child the whole night, wrestling with her to get her to swallow her medication and checking her temperature every 15 mins the whole night while you are feeling light headed, feverish and nauseous all at the same time? Gosh... hope this will never ever happen again.

Hubby was not spared, he was also down with stomach flu like me.

I'm back !

It has been a long long 6 months that I've abandoned this blog. Been too busy to write at home and my company has actually blocked all access to blogger.com, facebook and instant messengers (including web-based)! Can you imagine the boring working life without all these!? It was almost hell!

A lot has happened in these 6 months. My little girl has grown so much and is now 2 years and 1 month old. My dad has left us suddenly on 12th of February 2009 after a heart-attack. I've officially stopped breastfeeding on 16th of February 2009; after 23 months of being a moo.
