Target for Comex 2009: Getting a new GPS system
After losing our way from Jusco Tebrau City to Restaurant Todak (which should not take more than 20 minutes if Google Maps is showing the right driving directions)for more than 2 hours (we would have driven up to KL again if we do not exit fast enough), Mummy has suggested Daddy to get a new GPS and pay from the joint account. We have a TI** GPS and it fails us so many times especially the recent trip to KL. Advice: Don't be tempted to get a cheap GPS(ours is not cheap leh!!) which does not allow you to download the latest maps (maybe should say "more recent" maps).
Note: Don't try to get directions from a roadside fruits seller (that was a Cempedak fruits seller and Grandma was asking why we did not buy any home!!??) as most of the time they don't speak English.
Mum came across this song by chance - Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin
My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok" And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say "Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?" He shook his head and said with a smile "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then dad You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then dad You know we'll have a good time then
Finally, I'm discharged from the hospital after staying for 4 nights (that was how I spent my Good Friday and Easter Day). The estimated hospital bill comes up to four thousands plus ... yet to know how much the insurance will cover ... the deluxe room charge is S$425 per night (excluding GST) ... so the room charges are the biggest portion of the bill, 4 digit - S$1,700!!
Can you see my mom talking to the principal, Ms Tay?
Ms Tay is helping to take class attendance ...... while Isaac (老呈子) shows great interest ...... Yati is looking at the lady standing which is the Pre-Nursery 1 form teacher, 杨老师. There is a total of 8 students (including myself) in the morning at the moment.
Fever started on Sep 30 with temperature around 37.5 degree Celsius but it went down after 1st dose of Paracetamol. However, on the 2nd day the temperature was up to 39.8 degree Celsius where Daddy and Mommy rushed me to Mount Alvernia A & E at night on Children's Day!! The fever still continued for another day, ups and downs, though after taking more doses of fever medicines - Paracetamol and Ibuprofen (for fever higher than 38.5, suitable for under 2 years old??) and even Voltaren suppository (painful experience caused by Mommy and Grandma). Yesterday, I was feeling better as the fever had subsided. However, red spots started to appear on my body which became more obvious at night when Daddy pointed out. Not too sure whether I was suffering from HFMD or measles or even dengue fever, Daddy and Mommy started to make SOS calls. Though most of the advices are to observe and monitor, I was brought to Angelin's Baby & Child clinic and confirmed to have Roseola (that goes $65 bucks - really X man ...)
I was ruuning a fever 2 weeks ago ... Yesterday I started to have fever again ... Though I had taken a few times of paracetamol syrup ... the fever still went up as high as 39.5 °C.
I was supposed to take part in the crawling competition but I didn't make it. Firstly, I was over-aged (the competition was for 6 to 12 months old babies). Secondly, the registration was already closed when we arrived at Singapore Expo due to overwhelming responses.
