Poor Baby

What a day it has been, my son has been having this cough for some time now and it was his day to see the doctor for his review. An aggressive dose of medication had been prescribed a week ago. Both parents were there today to see the doctor as it could be more serious. But the good news was his lungs were clear but he still was coughing a little probably due to his baby tonsils that he has. All medication could be discontinued but a preventive daily dose was given. Another review was expected in 6 weeks.

That night for reason’s unknown he started vomiting once it was twice we knew something was wrong and it was off to the A&E. He did vomit a couple of more times and by the time the doctor saw us he seem to have calm down a little doctor suspected a stomach flu virus as there were multiple cases recently and even then there were a few cases at the hospital A&E as well. His vomit now had calm down but actually it had come to a stage that there was nothing left to throw out just the stomach reacting and the poor little boy trying to vomit but nothing came out. Could see his face change colour from normal to red as a tomato and then once it stop a paleness settled on his face.

Medication was given which stop the vomiting and soon around midnight he settled down to sleep. 24 hours later with lots of prays from his relatives and friends, he looks much better. But then we will hold giving him milk for another day as the doctor had advices. Another episode in his little life.

Meeting Meeting Meeting

Little Boy Blue

My little boy has been sick for some time now, coughing quite badly especially in the morning and nights. He has an allergy to antibiotics as well and so has to have special medication. Brought him to see the pedi again and the doctor prescribe a lot of medication for him. Finally he seems to be getting a little better, hopefully this round of medication will do the trick.

The amount of medication little boy needs !!

Lion Dance

The estate organized a Lion Dance for all residence on the 3rd day of the Chinese New Year. We all went down to watch, had relative over for the special occassion as well. Here are the kids with their uncle and aunt. Those orangesseem to be a favourite with them the kids for some reason like to carry the oanges around.

But once the noise started little Natalie did not like it very much and had to go upstairs. The Lions did their walk in from the man entrance they even did some welcome dance at the etrance I beleive.

There was even this Character, bot sure what he was but I think the God of Fortunue of somethig like that who went around giving out sweets. The second act after the Lions Entry dance (which incidentally halted all entry and exit to the estate for a couple of minutes) was the round the pool walk and getting the veggie which was tied up high. Great job of getting it down from the performers. Next highlight was the peeling the orange and those lucky banner stuff. Had it along the pool area so the Lion had to cross the stepping stones to get to the tray, sit down and started to form the good luck words. (or lucky numbers in some cases)

Well in the end they did not mke a word but an animal, this being the Year of the Rabbit, they did a rabbit image with the oranges !! Some people think it's a Pokemon ha ha  .... :)

In the end Nigel got to get up close and personal with the Lions, he kind of enjoyed it !

New Paper Ang Pow

The New Paper was the only paper publish on the 2nd day of the Lunar New Year and they gave a unique twist to the Ang Pow concept when they wrapped their newspaper in a giant Ang Pow.

Reunion

The yearly reunion dinner this year was a little different it’s back to the old days where we would have it on the eve itself. Over the last few year’s we always had ours a little early just to beat the crowds and all that but this year it was decided to have it on the eve of the Lunar New Year. It was a very small gathering just immediate family. I got this Tung Luk Set which seemed pretty popular as there were many people collecting the set. You had to pre-order in advance. Kind of saves on all the hassle of preparing the steamboat. It had steam chicken, glutinous rice, salmon yusheng and a Pei Cai pot which contain 12 ingredients – Pork Knuckle, Prawn, Scallop, Dried Oyster, Cabbage, Mushroom, Abalone, Toufu, Pork Slices, Dried Scallop, that dried hair like thingy which looks like black moss and a few other stuff all put into a hotpot. Just heat and ready to go.

 

Bugsy Bunny .... here I come

Just in time to usher in the Bunny Year. Wishing one and all a very

!! Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year !!
