Recovering from HFMD

I am not sure what I had contracted but pretty sure it is adult version of HFMD.  I had never experience anything like it before.  The pain was immense.  I was on soft diet for a week.  And when recovering, if I ate anything sweet, my saliva glands will automatically produce saliva and that was painful.  It's crazy!

My mom had a conversation with a depressed aunty.  Now, this depressed aunty only want attention on herself and herself only.  She refused to listen to anyone else or hear any advice.  But she wants people to listen to her non-stop.  And whoever who listens to her will get depression too because it's just too negative.

So my mom being sympathetic, listened to that aunt.  As usual, she started telling how her life is now, pain everywhere, can't do this, can't go here, can't eat, blah blah blah...the list goes on.  My mom, in the event of trying to counter all this, told her that she was going through a bad time too.  With me and my girl sick, my mom was taking care of us, cooking for us and also going to work.  And at night, my girl went to sleep with her while I was recovering.

And guess what the aunty said?  She said, "Oh, then your antibody is not good, that's why you caught it from your daughter."  Because I was still recovering, those words made me so mad.  I reacted and replied, "Oh, then next time you try having it.  The pain is so immense and it is something I have never experience before."  She kept quiet and looked a bit shock that I spoke like that.

I don't care if I am rude.  I don't care if all you want is people to listen to you and don't bother to listen to others.  I don't care.  The pain was so bad that I can only say it is worse than labour.  Mainly because in labour, you can opt for pain killers.  This one, I couldn't go on pain killers and was just bearing the pain with each bite of food.  And the throat burns and stings and gosh, I don't know how to explain.  

So, how dare you say I don't have enough antibody?  Maybe you are right, I don't.  But wait till there is a virus or bacteria attack that none of your antibody can help you, no matter what you did or ate or what medication you took.

I am mad because I cannot keep going on feeling pity for her.  Because she doesn't want to help herself.  No one else can.  One negative person can bring down the whole village.

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
