Bad weekend!! :(

It all started on Thursday (24 Aug). We brought Kady to Eu Yen Seng to see the chinese doctor since she has been coughing for abt a month already. While at the doctor's Kady complained that her thigh is itchy. We saw some mosquito like bites on her thigh & just applied normal mosquito lotion on it.

In the middle of the night (about midnight), she kept waking up & complained that its itchy. At about 2am, we couldn't take it anymore & decide to switch on the lights to see what the heck is wrong. To our shock, her thighs see to more "Mosquito bites" patches. From the looks of it, its very much like hives! Then when we turn our attention to her face, my goodness! Her face was so swollen & her eyes too. So much so that she can only open her eyes a small slit. We immediately brought her to KK Hospital where she had her medication & we were made to wait there for abt an hour to see if there is any reaction. The swell subsided so we can bring her home.

On Friday (25 Aug), she started complaining of stomach ache. Again, this is in the late evening. She had some loose stools but we thought its okay.

Saturday, her loose stools contd for another 4 more times.

Brought her to KK again on Sunday. Had medication was alright for a few hours then started loose stool again.
Throughout Sunday to Monday, she had loose stools on & off. Sometimes semi-solid, sometimes loose (as in super duper watery!)

Tuesday (29 Aug), since her tummy is still not that well & I had to get back to work (not much leave left also), I brought Kady to my office. Good thing abt my company here is that bosses are all very understanding & family oriented. so no issue abt bringing kids to work as long as they don't disturb the rest of the workers. Again complained of tummy ache & water stools for 2 more times. So no choice, brought her to see her usual PD again. Somehow, after seeing her & changing 1 of the medication, Kady seems to be better now. I hope.

Wednesday (30 Aug) - I am now crossing my fingers that Kady will be alright in school & that the teacher will not call me.

Its weird. Everytime we bring Kady to see a GP or in this case to KK, she doesn't seems to recover but when she sees her usual PD, she'll get better. Not that we don't want to bring Kady to see her usual PD in this case, it just so happens that on the 2 occasion that we brought her, the PD is closed. :( sigh...

okay, enough abt my grumbles... Have not been updating my LOs recently so below are all of them at 1 go.

For Kady's teachers day... some simple tags.





A few LOs that I've completed earlier:

My Sweet DH & even Sweeter girl.

I had Yoga on Monday with my Sister in law...
Classes start at 7pm so we don't have time to cook. Usually hubby will just do take out.
Which was what he did on Monday. But the takeout was for him and guessed what my sweet dh did?

He took the trouble to go to the supermarket to buy fish and ham with my gal in tow no less!
Then went home & cook porridge with ham & fish for us & steamed the fish too. :)

& Y'day, he woke up extra early to make a yummy salad for me to bring to office for lunch!
I know, I know. It isn't a big deal but hey! Its the small things that matter sometimes, you know?

Sometimes we are so busy with our hectic life styles that we missed the smaller things that matter. :)

& my sweet little girl. For the past few nights, after I put her to bed, she'll come calling, "Mummy, Mummy."
Then gave me a good tight hug & say, "I love you, you know? I love you so much!" Awwww....
How can that not melt any mummies' heart, right?

I feel so blessed to have this family of mine! :D

Good news!!

Yabba yabba doo!!! :D
I made it past the 1st round!!!
Those who don't know what I'm talking abt, well, I participarted in the Effers challenge & got past the 1st round.
I seriously never thot I could make it through. :D

The 2nd challenge was to do a LO wif 13 photos which I have already completed.

Snapshots of you

Not sure if you can see it from this scan copy but some of the flowers pp & photos are actually pop out as I glued them down with foam stickers to create the pop up effect.

Putting 13 photos on my usual 9 x9 LO is a BIG challenge!!!!
I've never placed soooo many photos on 1 LO before. *LOL*
Good thing the LO turned out okay. So now I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get past round #2.
Not putting much hope but definitely wishing a small miracle may happen & that I may get past! kekekeke... ;)

Last Sunday, we went to watch the last day of the Fireworks Festival. It was a French theme. So they used the colors like Green & Gold alot!!! It was beautiful!!! Kady was stumped. Throughout the 15mins, she was just staring into the brightly lit sky!

I was on leave on Monday to discuss some business stuff. Gosh! Things are finally moving again after almost a month!!!! By the time this goes through & we set things up, it might be next year already! :P

Anyways, I met up with Shemah after that for lunch & of 'cos some shopping! :D
We went to MWL 1st where I bought some glue dots & a pack of metal "thanks" tag to make for Kady's teachers' day pressie...
Then we went to Spotlight where I got some AC ribbons which I hv been eyeing for such a loooong time & some album refills.
THEN we went to Art Friend at Bras Brasah to get some inks and some wooden love sticks which I'll alter to make it again, for Kady's teachers' day pressie. :) Thanks to Shemah for the great idea!
We went for coffee after and had a nice chat.... Had a great time - Thanks again Shemah!

Shame on me!

I have not been updating as regularly as I should. But hey, I've been sick!
Boss is also back in town for the rest of the month, so pretty busy.
Not much chance of skiving in the office. :(

So here's some LOs that I did over the past week and a half.

Reading is such a pleasure: This will be gg into Kady's ABC Album for "R". Doodling was inspired by Elsie Flanningan. She's fab!!! The LO took me 2 days to complete. Initially, the so-called completed LO was w/o the buttons, blings blings & doodling. & it looked abosultely horrible! But after gg through EF's latest book (52 challenges), I had so much fun adding the doodling, buttons & blings blings! :D


Our Special Curly Top: This was done for Effers #1 challenge. To write journalling on our photo.
I hope I passed to the next round. *cross fingers* altho' I'm not carrying much hope since there are so many great scrappers who are in for this. This LO will also be gg into Kady's ABC album for "S".


& this is done for M4M's challenge to use at least 25 ribbons on a LO! & to scraplift one of the Garden Girls Challenge - From Joanna Bolick : http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/album_display.asp?album_id=36913

Sick...

Now I'm sick too! :(
& Kady hasn't recover yet! *boohoo*
I think the lack of sleep + fatigue is making my body weaker & now I'm down with a cough & cold. *sob sob*

I hope both Kady & myself recovers from the wretched cough virus soon!!

& these 2 are the LOs for Trish that I promised to make for her cupcakes' portfolio.
There are altogether 4 of us who will be helping Trish & each of us are to do 4 LOs on Trish's glorious cupcakes. :)
The Velvet Cat will be sponsoring some stuff for the LOs. I hope I recd them soon so that I can use them to work on the LOs. These 2, I'll just leave it & give it to Trish too...
Then re-work with the stuff that The Velvet Cat will be sponsoring with these 2 photos.
I hope that I'll have enough time to finish all the Los since Trish needs it by the 12th August for her function on 13th.
*pray that Trish will like my LOs*



I made this simple little tag for Aida... which I've just mailed out together with a small RAK.
Hope she'll like it.
