Pai Pai Si Fu

Since darling daughter has been having unrestful sleeps at night, crying and all... mom has suggested that she may have some 'encounter' with something from 'other world' ! Soooo... we went to pai pai the si fu again... this time we brought darling daughter along instead of just bringing a piece of clothing that she has worn.

The place was a wooden temple in a squarter area in Jalan Ipoh; highly recommended and trusted by mom and yi ma (mom's sister). We were lucky that the si fu was kind enough to 'serve' the kids and babies first so we didn't have to wait long.

There were 2 other kids before my daughter's turn, both were sick and not well but were very obedient and quiet; just let their moms 'manouver' them as instructed by si fu so he can 'stamp' the red mark on their palms, chest and back.

Darling was the drama queen la... she was sweating like a horse while waiting in line... literally soaking wet... then she cried so loud when the si fu wanted to stamp her chest and back... aiyoyo... but luckily it was a quick process. Then we given some 'fu' to burn and put into my daughter's drink, one to put on her chest to sleep for 3 nights and another 'peng onn fu' for her to carry with her to ensure her 'safety'.

I would say it has been 'effective' ! She has not been crying and refusing to sleep at night :) woohoo... but si fu said she has to stay-in for awhile at least until Ching Ming month is over ... She we are all under 'house-arrest' now... :(

I know this may sound ridiculous and out of this world, but as a parent, I have to do whatever makes my kid well and healthy.

Cry Baby

Darling daughter has been refusing to sleep for the past 2 nights. 1st night, she cried when we go into the bedroom; wanting to go out to play somemore. But luckily managed to get her to sleep after awhile more of playing and she slept through the night like normal.

But strangely for last night, again she cried when bedtime comes. We did the same thing of letting her play awhile more then managed to get her to sleep; BUT she woke in the middle of the night crying so badly and signing she wanted to go outside of the room. I carried her, pasified her and managed to get her to sleep again, but once I step inside the bedroom, she started crying again!!

Sigh... I ended up have to sleep with her in the 2nd room... and no more cry!
STRANGE, STRANGE, STRANGE...
