Angela Chang’s concert

Got a pair of tickets to Angela Chang’s concert at Max Pavillion. Been such a long time since I attended concert. Haha….

Decided to date Sis to this concert. When we got there at around 7.45pm, there were many people seated. There were some reserved seats for the VIP. Since there’s not much good seat left, we decided to seat near the screen, at least we can have some views on the artiste.

We got bored while waiting so we decided to…TAKE PICTURES!

This was how far we were seated from the stage

The big screen near where we seated

After nearly 20mins, the concert finally started

We were surprised to realise the duration was only 1hour and the ending was quite abrupt. Anyway, most of her songs are quite nice. But we feel that for this concert, we could just get her CD to listen. :P

His little ‘coconut’

It got worse…

Last night, I hardly sleep coz the itch was unbearable! I was so afraid that it will be like the previous time :(

Barely close my eyes to catch some sleep before J woke me up. Woke up with more red patches. I can’t apply the oil to ease the itchiness coz J is around. The oil has this strong spicy smell. Plus, I can’t contact water after applying the oil.

After about 1hour, I called my mom over to help out. I asked her to bring J out coz my poor boy was sweating so bad and I can’t turn on the fan. Then I decided to see GP before it gets worse. Western medicine will work faster for this situation. Like previously, I also turned to Western medicine to solve my rashes and after that, I used Chinese medicine to tiao my body. The only difference as compare to the previously time, I am no longer nursing.
I remember how I tried to tolerate the itch and was so depressed. I also affected Hb’s work. Coz at one point of time, I called him up at work crying and he had to rush home.

This time, Hb not around but good thing is my mom came over not long after I called her. I was still reluctant to go to the GP but I tell myself that since I am not nursing, I should just take the medicine and get it over as soon as possible especially I still need to take care of J myself. And mom is helping me to take care of him the whole noon, so hopefully by evening, it will get better.

My only worry is the medicine to be taken at night. It will cause drowsiness.

Wasabi found a new corner!!

For some reason, he managed to fit into this small corner! LOL

Itchy Itchy…

The last time I was itchy from head to toe was during my confinement. It was really terrible and an experience that I wish it will not happen again.

BUT….since yesterday, I started to feel some itchiness especially when my hands touched water. To Chinese believe, I guess this is 风 aka wind.

Initially I was thinking if it’s due to the change in the washing powder but since there’s no rashes appearing, I guess the problem doesn’t lies on the washing powder. It’s just patches of redness appearing when there’s itch.

The itchiness is not that bad when this picture is taken. But there’s still red patches.

I got no choice but to buy this oil. Mom got this for me previously. But previously was so bad that if I have to apply the oil, I practically can bath in the oil so that my whole body (meaning head to toe!! Yes, it was so so bad) will be covered.

When I went to the Chinese Medical Hall, I was told that if my blood is ‘dirty’, I will also experience this kind of itchiness. So she recommended this..

Not cheap leh!! $18 per bottle and it will only last about a week. It said to be an effective relief of various skin ailments like rashes, eczema, itching, allergies, pimples, acnes, blisters, sores, boils, tissue inflammation, carbuncles and to detoxify the blood steam.

The ingredients are:
海马 Hippocampus，
海龙 Syngnathus，
金银花 Flos Lonicerae，
穿心莲 Herba Andrographitis，
鱼腥草行半 Herba Houttuyniae, 
半枝莲 Scutellariae Barbatae Herba

Probably coz I am not nursing now, so I decided that I will just give this a go. Hopefully it will help to ease my itchiness. I was told that this doesn’t have any side effect. Most importantly, I would feel drowsy!! Coz I still need to take care of J.

I remember when I was younger, my mom used to boil the 海马 Hippocampus coz my skin was quite bad in the past. Hopefully this is as effective as boiling 海马 Hippocampus. Well, I can’t and do not know how to prepare so the easy way out would be swallowing the tablets!

Oh, I also bought a packet of instant ginger lemon from NTUC. Coz ginger expels wind too. I remember one night I was in so much pain in the middle of my sleep that I woke up whining. I think Hb and Mom got worried. The pain was so intense that I could hardly stand up. Mom quickly boiled ginger for me. Took awhile before the pain was gone.

At that time, I got no choice but to gulp down the drink WITH A PIECE OF ROCK SUGAR. I can’t stand and don’t take ginger even on normal days. To make things easier, I think and hope the instant ones are as effective as boiling directly. Plus, I got the lemon flavor.

Just hope this will be over soon!

New Magnetic Board Game

This was one of the items in the goodies bag from the event held by Med Johnson and Science Centre.

J can’t wait to play with it. But I only opened for him the next day…

Here’s my cheeky boy so happy with his new game!

Our 1st attempt at Prawning

Together with Shermaine, Patrick, Chloe, Aunty Catherine, Casmond, my mom, 3rd Aunty, sis and us, we headed for prawning at Farmart.

Very addictive! Both Hb and me sharing a rod but I was holding it for about 2hours out of 3hours…LOL

It’s pretty expensive coz $30 for 3hours. Together we paid $120 and we only caught 34 prawns. That means 1 prawn costs about $3.50!!!

Then again, it’s the company that matters. We had so much fun laughing and fooling around.

We wanted to eat at the zi-zhar nearby thinking that it will save our trouble bringing back and steam. Too bad, we were told that they don’t provide such service on weekends. So we went to Shermaine’s place and tabao from the zi-zhar near her place instead.

Pictures time!

Swimming at CCK Sports Complex

Suppose to bring him for a swim this morning but sky looks kinda gloomy. So Papa told J that we going to playground instead. J was still abit disappointed not going for swim.

 

So after he woke up from nap, Papa suggested we bring him there since the weather was so cooling. Of coz, our little boy was so happy! But noti Papa teased him that we not going to swim while we were walking towards the sport complex.

 

Anyway, J is getting more daring with each visit to the pool. He hasn’t learn how to swim. He just know how to move his arm and remain stationery in the shallow pool! LOL

He also dare to jump into the pool with Mama on standby to catch him and he also manage to blow bubbles in the water. Previously, he won’t dare to do all these!

Actually he also took in some water but he didn’t fuss. If previously, he would have cry it out! haha…
