BRANDEE AT 15 MONTHS

Time passes really fast. Brandee is now 15mths old and she could run and dance and yak yak yak non stop. She could express herself quite well and could say words like:

1) Eat
2) No
3) Sit Chau = Sit Down
4) Mi E Mau = Mickey Mouse
5) Elmo
6) I want
7) Mau ( Want in Bahasa )
8) Bai Ci Ke = Bicycle
9) Bag
10) A Ou = Hello
11) Daddy
12) Mommy
13) Kor Kor
14) Pam poo = Pampers

She could even count from 1-6. She said One, Oo, Wee, Four, Fi, Six..I'm really impressed when I heard because Brandon started to called Mommy only when he was 20 mths old. I suppossed girls are more chatty.

She loves to play with her brother's toy. She would play with trucks, cars and aeroplane and she will jump and run and play rough with Brandon. Well, she still has her girly side where she would want me to put on my head band on her. She is so vain that she wanted me to buy her a hair clip when I happen to be in the accesorries shop. She knew what lipstick is when I saw her taking out my lipstick from my handbag and started rubbing it against her lips. I am starting to worry now because at this young age she already knew so much..I'm sure she will give me a lot of challenges when she grew up:)

MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY

Another birthday in August..Daddy and Brandon do a fantastic card for me..I was overwhelmed to see the birthday card and a present. I think the card is cute, everyone is in...Daddy gave me the card and present in the morning when I was preparing Brandon to school. I usually send daddy together with Brandon if daddy is going in late. I noticed daddy hasn't change to his working shirt yet when I'm ready to send Brandon to school. "Aren't you going to change? No need to work ah?" I asked. Daddy answered " Today holiday! My wife's birthday!!" So, my birthday wish actually came true..when I said I needed a day off from kids..Daddy stayed back home helping me taking care of the kids..

Brandon wanted to know what daddy bought. He asked " Is that a handphone or a lotion?"
Mommy said"Is not a lotion darling. I think is a watch!" Open up and see la now..Brandon said. So, to satisfy his curiousity, I unwrapped the box and found this set of watch..

A gift from Daddy

Daddy even surprised me with a cake at night. Daddy said he needed to buy some tools to fix Brandon bicycle so we went to the nearest shopping mall. After buying his tools, daddy went in to a cake shop with Brandon to pick up the cake..It is indeed a very sweet looking cake. Very nice indeed. I really love it!

It may be a simple celebration but I can see there is a lot of effort put in by Daddy...Thank you for this wonderful thoughts and gift...

WHO IS DADDY??

This is it!! The daddy we've been talking about. A simple and practical man. A man who don't expect much from his wife as long as his wife loves him, he is happy..:) He is that simple.He wouldn't expect his wife to know how to cook, to do house chores or even bear a child for him. Can you believe it?? He would say "Don't clean up the house if you are tired", Don't have to cook, I'll buy food back. Just rest if you are tired!! If you don't want a child, I'm fine with it!"

Daddy is a man with few words. When asked " Do you love me?" He'll answered " Yes, I love you." Why do you love me? Mommy asked...Daddy's answer" If I can tell you why I love you, that's not love anymore. You don't love a person for a reason, you love them as a whole". When mommy sometimes jokingly complaint and say " Aiya, why are you so poor?" Daddy will always answered mommy with a smile and said " Who said I'm poor? I'm rich!! I'm rich with love!! I gave you all the love that I had..why do you want so much money? Love better!!..:)
Mommy wants to thank daddy for all his uncondition love given all these years and mommy is glad to have him as a life partner.

Daddy never failed to be around mommy when mommy is down. He is always there to help out with the childrens and house chores too eventhough we have a maid with us. What more can mommy ask for when god has given the best to mommy. Having had a loving, understanding and caring husband is all a women wanted. Mommy is blessed to have a happy family and hope this happy moment will continue as long as we live.

DADDY'S BIRTHDAY PRESENTS

Daddy get a birthday card and a bouquet of chocolates from Brandon. Can you see what Brandon drew on the card? The top 3 from left is Daddy (with more hair), Brandon (with less hair), Brandee ( with little hair) and lastly mommy at the bottom (with long hair).

Daddy is really happy receiving this card from Brandon because this is the 1st card Brandon drew and write on his own for daddy. Brandon is happy to give daddy that bouquet of chocolates as he knew daddy will certainly share with him..

Besides all these, daddy also received a gift from mommy. A Crocs shoe which daddy always feel is too costly to pay for. Daddy has always been a practical and simple man. He wouldn't mind paying for a Crocs shoe or even a Gucci handbag for mommy but for himself, he would rather go for something simpler and cheaper. Daddy would pay any amount for the family as long as he could afford it. Mommy is glad that daddy loves the presents he received.

PITYRIASIS ROSEA

I had some rash over my body 3 weeks ago and had been on and off some anti-histamine. The rash got worse, developed all over the trunk and I have to be on prednisolone. I decided to call my Skin Specialist and went to see him on Wednesday before I drive back to KL at night. By the time I went to see my doctor, the rash has developed to my arms and thighs and going down to my calfs. I got really worried because the rash flares up really fast and my back is affected too. Doctor suggested a Skin Biopsy on the spot but I couldn't do it as I have to drive back to KL on that night. So the doctor gave me Erythromycin for 6 weeks as he suspected my condition to be either Pityriasis Rosea or Pityriasis Lichenoides Chronica. The antibiotic are supposed to control the rash.

On Friday morning, I realised there are more rash and it started to itch. Besides that, each time I took the antibiotic I had diarrhoea. This time I got really anxious and worried. I called back Singapore hoping to speak to my doctor but unfortunately he is off on Friday but managed to speak to the hospital pharmacist and I was told to stop the medication. I quickly called my family doctor in KL but he is off for the weekend too. I'm starting to feel depressed because of the rash and I had to wear long sleeve shirt and pants to hide it. I start to feel lousy and lost of confidence. I don't know what to do and lost too because doctor told me that for this condition, there's only symtomatic treatment as the rash will recover by itself between 6 to 12 weeks. Oh mine!! I'm thinking even a day can kill me, how am I to wait for 6 weeks or worst is 12 weeks. Is he kidding me??

My hubby started checking through the internet on these 2 conditions and found that most patients can only wait for it to disappear by itself. Some Pityriasis Lichenoides Chronica patients had the rash for 5 yrs and sometimes it relapse. As for Pityriasis Rosea, patients experience as long as 6 months. I couldn't wait as my rash got really worst this time and I immediately see my doctor the moment I'm back in Singapore on Tuesday. Doctor said is likey to be PR (Pityriasis Rosea) by looking at the rash. In a way, I'm a little relief because PR tends to be acute. This round , I'm was prescribe Piriton and Prednisolone to control the itch and swellings. I'm hoping the rash will disappear soon and I can start to live my life as before. I must say I'm lucky to have a very supportive husband to listen and check everything for me to calm me down. I have been down for a couple of weeks lately. That's why I didn't update my blogs since the past week..
