Year 2017 in review

Year 2017 has been a so-so year for me.  I hardly could remember the good things that happened but the bad things were so memorable.  This year, I had all the bad luck ever.  It is just not a good year for me.  So, I am hoping year 2018 will be better.

The Bad
1. I slipped and fell and hit my coccyx badly while walking to the parking lot to get my car.  It was so painful that I drove in the rain groaning in pain.

2. Because of the fall, I went to my panel clinic the next morning because it was getting more painful.  I got 2 days MC for that.  But as I was on my way home, a random car just came and knocked the front of my car, while my car was stationary.  The other driver kept on insisting it was my fault and refused to give me his name, phone number or IC.  

3. And because of the fall, I signed up for a chinese physiotherapy and had to pay about RM800+ for 7 sessions but only did 4 sessions and the physiotherapist completely forgotten about me and I am fed up of reminding anymore.  I had to forgo it.

4. Due to the pain kept on coming on and off and the sciatica nerves was acting up more, I finally went to see a chiropractor and signed up a package with them which cost me RM3k.  Money flew out of my pocket completely this year.

5.  Had a meltdown in front of my manager and was sobbing in front of her.  I just don't know what happened to me at that moment!  It was so embarrassing.  

6. Had a constant pain under my feet and wouldn't go away no matter what I did.

7. My girl was hospitalised from dehydration from diarrhoea and vomiting and spent my birthday in the hospital with her.


The Good
1. I am glad that the accident didn't hurt me much.  I was able to claim 100% repairs from 3rd party and also got reimburse allowance for travelling without my car.

2. Was able to bring my girl to China.  

3. Started ketogenic diet to lose weight and to get back my health and lost 1kg within 1 week.

4. After the chiro session, my back and feet is so much better and I am in lesser pain than before.

5. Lastly, I just signed up to purchase another service apartment.  

This year my health took a toll.  I was constantly falling sick.  Having flu last month and had flu again this month.  Next year have to make appointment to see the radiologist for a breast ultrasound and also check the extra flesh under my armpit.

This year, I also found things to be grateful for.  I have this bad habit of always thinking the negative first but God show me that I am taken care of and little miracles happened.  Although it has been overall a bad year, it flew by very fast.  

Here's hoping for year 2018 will bring me more luck and better career prospect and financially more stable.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
