chicken pox

CHICKEN POX.......
At this age of 39 , I am infected with chicken pox!!!!!!! I am surprised. I got cold fever for 3 days before the blisters actually showed themselves.

My hubby got infected when he was in Form 4 so, he's already familiar with it. Friends thought that it was because of my diabetics and I myself thought that I was too exhausted travelling last week. So many wild thoughts and the caused turned themselves up only after 3 days. My body aches suggested that I might be pregnant, said one of my friends. Oucch, can't be, I said. Am having my period.

These past few days I had been complaining to hubby of not having enough quality time together, so he suggested that I was thinking too much it affected me physically.So, early next day, I showed up at the Outpatient Department and was ' gifted ' 3 days medical certificate.

To tell the truth, the symptoms were much more painful than the infection itself. My body aching everywhere and it really is a big problem to sleep that I have to take pain killer and paracetamol for my cold fever. I have to mention it as cold fever because it make me shivers. At work, I actually went to the store to keep out of the cold. Lying uncomfortably on the floor. I didn't want to inform my friends, because I usually ended explaining this and that. I'd rather get a good and quiet rest.

The biggest matter is how to protect my little daughter from this infection. Soon, I was explaining the disease to her and drawed borders between us. This means she has a distance limit towards me. Oh, I hope she'll be protected.

The blisters is now all over my face and upper body parts. Dr. Ita provided me with anti-viral which I should swallow every 4 hours. 4 tablets/4 hours. Now my body is not aching but the blisters gives a very itchy sense. I already cut my nails and am really having the biggest task in my life and that is ------- preventing myself from scratching!!!!!!!!!!!!

My face looks like a toad's skin! Very well. I will give you more details later on. I should rest. Today hubby takes my place accompanying my daughter to her piano class.

It's only September

Gosh! It's only September and my leave is only 5 days in balance. I had really been a busy and unhealthy these days. A few medical certificates too. I don't know if I can keep it up till end of December to register my little girl to Primary School.

I am gaining weight as well. My, oh my! What am I suppose to do? Hopeless me but still I feel good about myself. I am proud with my hubby and daughter. There are many times that I tend to loose grip but my hubby still keeps as calm as he is and to think about it, it comforts me afterwards. He is so stable that he never seemed to react agressively towards me. 15 years of marriage and he is still that same man I married, calm and just so kind.

Maybe he was meant to compliment my emotional being. My daughter is part of him, anyway. I hope and pray that she will grow up being more like her dad. Sometimes I wonder, how he can cope life so easily. Only one thing bothers me. He seldom burst into laughter ( the calm sight ) and it's very hard to hear him talking badly about anything.

Don't say I am just trying to say that he's the best, no. I am talking about the good side of him.

Uhuh......Kuala Lumpur.................

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
What is there to say?Last week I went to Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. Pity I forgot to book ourselves a hotel room. I ended up roaming the capital city looking for the perfect and affordable room. All of the hotels are packed. Putra Hotel, Vistana, Plaza, First Business Inn, Grand Continental, Prescott Inn and etc. Finally, at 2.00 pm, we drived out of Kuala Lumpur and ended up shopping in Bentong, Pahang. We stayed in Kristall Inn and have to make up in a big family room, the only room available.

But mind you, if you have a big budget, this might not apply to you. As for me, I am not willing to spend more. The hotel room in Bentong is cheaper compared to Kuala Lumpur. For the same price, the room would be much smaller, but, of course in the heart of a big city with all the amneties you can wish for.

When we arrived in Kuala Lumpur, we were stucked at Chow Kit Road. The shopping complex, Sogo is only around 150 metres away but because of the jammed road, we can only wait. I think we were there around 3 hours before I can actually set my foot on Sogo. People are so packed too like sardines in the can. I  didn't expect this. Been to Kuala Lumpur so many times already. Maybe because it's Kuala Lumpur Festival and shopping fair.

No matter if it's inflation or whatever, Malaysians are still not that poor. If you can't afford shopping in Berjaya Times Square, you can go to Bukit Bintang, if you still can't afford, go to Sogo, still expensive, go to Masjid India. Still expensive, go to Chow Kit. Ha...ha.......Still expensive, go to the RM 2.00 store where everything will cost you the flat price RM 2.00. What I want to express here is, nobody is left out to do their shopping. If you really don't have the money to spend, just go for window shopping. no harm. Totally free.

New school bag

Hi! It's been a long time since my last visit to my own blog. Not being well to write anything. Mind blocked. But, I am still sane, okay. Maybe, just too tired. Hubby working most weekends making me kinda stress a bit. Trapped around this town most of the weeks, makes me really exhausted to work in the weekdays. So, lucky of you out there who still get to enjoy your weekends, I mean both Saturday and Sunday.

Back to talking about my daughter's class. The class is rather intensive and really challenging because my daughter refuse practising at home. Too much activity at home like watching cartoon, playing her nintendo and reading comics, she just can't get enough of everything.

Today, she came back from kindergarden rather sad. Well, troughout yesterday and this morning, she's been talking about her school's drawing competition today. She said she will get a bag as a present. When she entered the car in the evening, her eyes were filled with tears. I wander what was the matter. Ooops! She didn't get the bag she had been talking about. I persuaded her and explained that maybe she didn't colour nice enough to get the present from her teacher. Only two students got the bag and both were her best friends.

I told her it's okay. Mummy can buy you a bag similar to that. So, this evening we had been searching for the particular bag. Fortunately we managed to find one. She became a happy girl all over again. Children. I remember during my school days, I used to sew back my torn old bag, just because I want to help my father save money.

Diabetis Mellitus

Everyone, watchout! I am not prepared to cope with this disease. The moment the Medical Officer informed me, it felt like being hit by a big stone. It also felt like being poked by a sharp knife deep inside my heart. I felt like everything is over for me. I know this disease but when it infected me, I felt like it's nothing familiar. It's like being robbed by a burglar. All those things especially eating agenda became a fearsome activity to me plus my husband's spying eyes trying to protect me from side effects.

Oh! I need someone to hear me out. Taking the medication is a challenge and burden to me. I don't know how to control my diet plus the medication. If I eat less could it effect my glucose level which had been controlled by the tablets? I can't understand how to balance the medication with my food intake.

I had a very bad week last week. I felt so sick which I can't explain how it exactly felt. My eyes felt blotted. My fingers painful and my head felt stupid and confuse, not headache. Today, I feel vey bad, too. My eyeball felt like it's going out and my head feel silly. My body is strengtful but without a steady head I can't think and perform my household tasks. So as at work. I am not sick but without my head working properly, I can't concentrate. I remember that Monday evening at work. The test which I usually finish in only half an hour, actually took me 3 hours because I can't concentrate and need to shut my eyes every few minutes.

I am learning. Maybe I need time to accept the fact because most of my senior family members are diabetic patients as well. What I would really have problem with is the good and delicious food......Ouch......I love food! Enough for today. My eyes are painful.

Japan Battered By Tsunami

Tsunami again? It happenened in Japan yesterday. The tragedy causes lost of lives and nearly everything was swept away. Cars, houses and anything on the earth battered by it. I pity the people of Japan. I hope they will gain back what they've lost in a short time because they are popular with their strong will power.

Nobody can go against God's rulling upon this earth. Everything that occurs is a reminder to us humans that there's a limit in whatever we do. Our mother earth is getting older and matured. I hope and pray that everything will recover because we are all just humans with love and destiny within us. Fortunately, my new friend, Kana's family in Osaka is not involved.

Yamaha Music School

Hi, how are you? New to my blog? I hope it's friendly enough. Just a simple mum with a big heart.

Quite busy these days as my daughter is growing smarter these days, her activities are of variety that I can't really express how proud I am to be her mum. She's very active and always in need of my attention.

Seeing that she's so active, I made the decision to send her to Yamaha Music School. Not that I want her to be a musician, but just to give her something to enjoy and appreciate. I want her to love music and see life's beautiful colours through music.

It's been 3 months since we've attended the Junior Music Class and I can see how she enjoys it. The only thing is, it took us an hour journey for the class. I finish work at 5.00pm and later pick her from kindergarden. Then straight home to change clothes, take dinner and be prepared for the 7.30pm class every Friday as a routine.

I admit that we are sometimes too tired to open our mouth to sing but we gain strength 15 minutes afterwards when we start to enjoy the class. My daughter sometimes is too shy to sing aloud but teacher David said never mind. The JMC is for them to listen and enjoy music but still she have to practice at home.

I have an acoustic Yamaha guitar but I can't play. I can only stream the simple chords. I hope one day, I can actually play it well. I love music. I can listen to any music as long as it's music. My ears are open to any genre.

Holiday

Hi, I am very sorry for the long silence. Huh.....very hard to get a good connection nowadays. I sometimes needed to wait so long even at late midnight. Can't spend too much time in front of the laptop. House chores waiting and my daughter needed lots of attention. Even swallowing water can be an interesting event for her.

So much too share with you all. Well, yesterday I spent a night in Kuala Lumpur. I asked to stay in Grand Seasons Hotel. My hubby agreed but unfortunately the big hotel is full. There's only suites left. Oh, no. Just to spend a night, we just can't waste money on that.

Later we head for Putra Hotel in front of Institut Jantung Negara ( Malaysia Heart Institute ). Also the same response. Full house. I like this hotel. So quiet and peaceful. So, we then went to Plaza Hotel. We spend the night and slept immediately because we arrived at Kuala Lumpur around 10.00pm plus spending time in search for hotel.

We actually left for Kuala Lumpur at 8.30pm after my daughter's piano lesson. Quite exhausted after a one day work for me and hubby, and one whole day  day kindergarden attendance for my loving daughter.

We woke up  for an early 7.00am breakfast. Then we rest a while before checking out at 10.00am. We planned to watch movies in Midvalley Megamall but again, the big parking lots are full house due to IT Fair and coming Chinese New Year Grand Sale. What a weekend.

Then we decided to go to The Mines. Fortunately, not many people here. We took our lunch before doing some shopping. I got myself two pairs of clothes, that's all. There was a Looney Tune show and it really interest my daughter. We watch the simple appearance of Tweety, Sylvester and Bugs Bunny. Later we caught a photo for rememberance.

Lastly, we went for a boat trip on the lake. The Mines is actually a resort which is build on a previously tin mine. The boat are taken in the middle of the shopping complex. The building of the shopping complex is connected with a bridge and below is the lake water. Come and see for yourself.

We experience the water lift. From 7metres, we were shifted to 2metres of water dept. I don't know how to explain. Come and experience it yourself. Later, we were taken around the big lake and watch the greenery, The Horse of Golden Palace ( not sure ) Hotel, tortoise and fish feeding. The wind breeze is really soothing to my ears and skin. I love the ride so much and must come again. Our boat ride takes around 50 minutes. I will cherish it.

We left The Mines with memories and then headed for Jaya Jusco Wangsa Maju. Want to take my daughter for the children playground park. We also watched the Chinese New Year dancing shows. Dance are by school children. My daughter enjoyed the show.

So exhausted but seeing how happy my daughter is, makes me really happy. I want to give her everything I can afford especially happiness. I love her very much. May she be blessed with lots of love and good fortune in the future.
