Lazy Mom

Ok ok, I admit. I'm lazy.

A check at the dates, you'll know that I've been lazy. No updates for soooooo long.

Actually, I've been busy doing some researching and planning for my upcoming trip in October with hubby. 

Taiwan Trip

After hubby announced that he's going to take his annual leave in October, I've been busy researching where to go. I've thought of Bali, then Praque and then finally, we settled for Taiwan. 

Why?

Heehee....because I've a friend Y staying there with her hubby. Since it's only a 2 yrs posting for her hubby, I have to visit them this year else most probably next year he will have to leave Taiwan for another posting at another country.

Well, we'll be going for 15 days from 18 October -31October. I very kiasu already bought the tickets so am now busy doing the read-ups and planning the routes.

I've been to Taipei several times on free and easy and backpack and since we have so many days to spend, I'm planning to tour around Taiwan.  Transportation is the key concern. It's so crazy that most car rental companies in Taiwan do not rent to tourists. And, the rental is so expensive. It's usually around 150-200 bucks a day for a compact car. I used to rent cars in Canada. It only cost 30 bucks per day !!!

Anyway, I'm still doing the research and planning. Will update more later.

Sick Boy

Sign....my little boy is sick again.

Running nose, blocked nose, phlem....

I guess he got it from his pre-school. Well, I'm mentally prepared for it though. I have not been sleeping well these 2 weeks. Little rascal has too much phlem and he couldn't sleep well at night. Poor boy.

Update of rascal son last hospitalisation

Remember not long ago little rascal was admitted to hospital? Though I was told it's bronchitis, the doctor also told me later that rascal son was tested positive for RSV virus. She said,quoted, "it's a very bad virus". It take a long time to heal. Usually 1 month. And true enough, rascal boy took 1 whole month to recover.

That poor boy had too much phlem inside, and the only way to get it out is through suction. The therapist came twice daily to put the tiny hose in rascal son's nose and mouth to SUCK out the phlem. Horrible isn't it?

The little rascal cried a big time. He struggled and struggled. And, he needed 2 adults plus a towel to hold him still. After the 2 sessions daily for 4 days in the hospital, he still have to go for the sessions even after he was discharged ! I had to bring him to hospital to do it for another week. Sigh....my poor little son. 

So sorry you have to go through this torture. I hope you don't go through this again, my dear.

Father's Day

Just came back from Bali Thai restaurant. 

The whole family was there to celebrate Father's Day celebration. Whole family means my parents, siblings and my little family. The food was delicious. We had green mango salad, pandan chicken, bbq sotong, kang kong belacan, tom yung koon, deep fried prawns in yellow curry and desserts. All I could say is YUM YUM !! Hahaha.....

Actually, I was there on Wednesday (10th June) with my little family (hubby and son) and maid. We were there to celebrate my maid's birthday. Ya, I know. My maid is so fortunate. I even bought her a small little cake and let her called home that night. And, gave her a present too. You see, my employers never celebrate my birthday for me. But I was thinking since she's alone here, she might feel very lonely especially on her birthday. So, I'm trying to make her feel warm and welcomed.....

Talking about maid, mine is quite alright. She's hardworking but will still cut corners at times. Well, I think that's pretty common among maids. So, I just close one eye as long as she get things done, follow instructions and most importantly, treat my son well. I never leave her alone with little rascal except when he's sleeping. This is to prevent something unpleasant to happen and for me to regret for life. 

Well, I just have to pray hard that I have a good maid who's honest and kind.
