So I have not been blogging lately because I have been so preoccupied with my work. I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing. Furthermore, the Macbook Air was also showing signs of death so it can be quite a pain using it. Anyone has any mini laptop recommendations? I’m not sure if I should still go for Apple or switch but honestly, it’s such a Breeze using the Apple.
Anyway, to make up for the lack of updates, here is one entry with some updates cramped into a single post.
All it takes is just one sick child to throw a wench into your plans. I didn’t intend to take leave today but I had to because the boy fell sick again. He has been having the dreaded flu and cough on and off. And after trying western medicine for the longest time, we decided to switch to TCM aka Traditional Chinese Medicine.
So he was getting better till things took a turn for the worst and here I am, back at the TCM doctors again. Just mere 3 days after our last visit for treatment. But the thing with cough is that it is such a common occurrence especially with little children. The same goes for adults, on the public transport, you can hear and see people coughing away. Even in my office, there are a few who are also afflicted with the dreaded cough. So one of the ways to deal with this is not to make it such a big deal, face it, kids fall sick all the time.

Thinking back, it was all due to a really silly mistake of mine that we ended up at Lokkee for our Lou Hei dinner. Firstly, the gang did not plan to dine at Lokkee, heck, the majority of us did not even knew its existence. The choice venue for the gathering was Lao Beijing (which also happens to be part of the Tung Lok group; just like Lokkee). So I offered to go get a table since I was the first to reach Plaza Singapura. The moment I reached the 3rd level, I entered the first chinese restaurant I saw without even looking at the sign. That was how we ended up with a table in Lokkee. I had only realised that I was in the wrong place when I looked down at the menu and to my horror, it was Lokkee instead of Lao Beijing. Too embarrassed to admit my mistake and make an exit, I forced my friends to come into Lokkee instead. Well, on the bright side, we got to try out a new place as a group.
Taken from the Tung Lok website… “Lokkee is inspired by Chinese take-out food often found in Chinatowns across cosmopolitan cities like New York, London and Sydney but elevates it through the use of premium ingredients and clean flavours. Lokkee’s menu is based on the cuisine of Chinese immigrants who have built on traditional Chinese cooking and interpreted it for diners in their adopted homes. Diners can look forward to sample well executed dishes that are synonymous to this urban culinary phenomenon such as Chow Mein, Mongolian Beef and Orange Chicken.”
I was a working mom for only 8 months before I decided that it was for the best to quit and stay home with my little snuggly pie. So the return to work after 2 years of staying home was terrifying and nerve wrecking. However, I was more afraid of losing touch with the corporate world and becoming obsolete. And I have yet to build up my personal retirement nest, hence, the decision to give up my glorious afternoon naps to become a wage slave and see where it takes me.
So far, I’m still coping well despite some hints of baby blues which I would save for another blog entry another time. I’m also nearing the end of my jamu massage tomorrow. My masseur mentioned that I do not have much wind in my body except for my left shoulder blade which is rather stiff. And I had always attributed that to sitting too long infront of the computer at work or home.
So I’ve concurred that the confinement rules are all bullshit. Haha, because I’ve broken almost every rule possible and should be filled with ‘bad wind’ to the brim.
1) Not touching water at all – I washed my hands each time before I touch my baby, breast pumps. I also bathe baby and wash milk bottles myself.
2) Not showering or washing hair – I showered and washed my hair daily in warm water without using whatever nonsensical herbal crap.
3) No fan – I had the fan on almost 24/7 and sometimes facing me directly.
4) No cold drinks – I had sneaked abit of slightly chilled milo when noone was looking.
5) No fruits or veg – No vegetables is an extreme case but I had papaya fruit juice twice.
And the list goes on, because I can’t really remember what else I’ve broken. But yeah, I’m doing fine, no aches and not much wind according to my masseur
