initially i wanted to make those very simple lanterns for Chinese new year with those old red packets. but after making them, i find them too plain so i added those flowers that were left over from my Christmas gift wrap deco and using some felt. sometimes it’s so nice to have all these supplies available at home, so whenever there’s a thought to do anything i can just do them straightaway.
the reason for using this red packets to make these lanterns cos they have the “En” word on it, one of the character in alyssa’s Chinese name. hehe..
i think i mentioned before that alyssa only like kiddy rides that have steering wheels and they must be stationary. once my mum paid $2 for one of the kiddy ride and when it started moving she got scared and wanted to get off. a waste of money but that benefited the other kid that hopped on when alyssa got off. but seriously nowadays kiddy rides are so expensive, last time it used to be like 20cents or 50cents per ride, now it’s at least a dollar.
i wanted to blog about our malacca trip last week but couldn’t find the time to edit the photos. i can say that it was a successful trip cos alyssa made it for the 2hrs+ drive. hehe.. on the way there, she slept for an hr plus. if we didn’t stop for toilet and drinks break, she would had slept more. after the break, wasn’t too difficult too. she watched 3 episodes of Noddy plus some snacks and we reached our destination. actually we took abit longer to reach cos we were searching for place to have our lunch.
nowadays it’s a challenge to buy clothes for myself. it’s not easy to buy clothes that will hide that flabby tummy of mine. last time when i’m in the fitting room, i will go “i look great in this! i must buy it!”. now if i ever get to comment “hmm.. i look ok in this, i shall buy it..” then it will be like good news. it’s so seldom that i will get a “i look ok” outfit, don’t even can find a “i look great” outfit ever since i gave birth.
while packing my wardrobe, i came upon a box of bikinis. i got 10 sets of bikinis lor! some not even wore before and i can never ever wear them again. super sad!!
all thanks to the amazing facebook that reunite all of us. it all started from audrey posting a class pic taken during primary 6 at bukit timah hill in the alumni group. all of us who are in the group saw that pic and commented on it. and that’s how we found us and had our first gathering last evening after 20 years.
there was a total of 10 of us who turned up except for 1 who flew aeroplane. 8 from our class and 2 from another class. it was a really enjoyable evening with all the gossips and secrets. hehehe…
we are planning another gathering next month before the CNY cos 1 of them leaving for Brisbane to do his SECOND masters (why would someone wanna have 2 masters degree??). seemed like our class got alot of brainy people, still got to know there are 2 other classmates who are PHD holders. well, afterall we were in the 2nd best class for that level just that i’m among the lousy ones in class.
i feel that i’m really useless. i feel that aloy is also very useless. we can’t even clean up our house properly. still need my mum to come over and help us to do spring cleaning. she still got her own house to do and still need to look after alyssa. furthermore alyssa got fever these few days and requires more attention. can see that my mum is very tired.
it’s quite impossible for me to clean up the house during weekends when alyssa is stuck to me all the times. everything i’m doing, she also want to “join” in. she doesn’t want to play with anyone else, not even her daddy. if i’m not able to do anything, i expect that aloy to help out but he is always on his laptop. only once in awhile then can get him do something but after being “reminded” many times.
he still can tell me what need to be done and never do any single thing. why must washing of toilets can only be done when he is taking a shower? end up also is my mum washed the toilets. when asked to wash the fans, only 2 out of 5 fans are done. the only commendable thing he had done was to help clean the kitchen top and stove last weekend.
sometimes i wish that aloy will put in more effort in entertaining alyssa so that i can do the housework by myself rather than asking him to do then i can get things done faster and get to live longer. i think all the frustrations that building up inside me will make me die earlier. if only i have more than 1 pair of hands…
oh, a good news! alyssa is recovering from her fever. no more high temperature since yesterday.
this morning i took her temperature before i went for work. it’s 36+ degrees, hopefully it doesn’t shoot up again this evening. last evening, it went up to 39.8 again. we brought her back to the PD to check. it turns out that it might not be only due to the MMR jab that she took. the doc said that fever from jabs usually only last 1-2 days. alyssa’s fever already a few days started from Saturday night. so the doc suspect it could be a viral fever cos she’s also having soft stools. she told us to increase the medicine intake and monitor her temperature. it should go off by tomorrow else i need to send her to do some urine and blood tests.
super sad!!
