It's finally done!

Min's surgery is finally over! I can't believe it was such a breeze and Min didn't have any side effects nor was he traumatised by the entire thing. The only thing left now is his Donald Duck-like voice, which will go away once the swelling goes away in the throat and nose.


Thankfully for the efficient ENT doctor, the surgery took less than half and hour and there was minimal pain and discomfort for Min, except that he lost his appetite the day after the surgery and we had to coax him to eat and drink so that the doctor can discharge him. Now that he's back to his old self, we are all so thankful. I am also constantly reminding myself to be more patient with the boys and not scream at them all the time so we won't start any scream fights with Min :P


Hao, unfortunately, came down with high fever the day after Min came back from hospital. I was so tired out looking after both of them. Luckily Hao's fever had subsided with the help of antibiotics. Poor Hao has to put on the mask at home most of the times to avoid spreading germs to Min and Ee. Crossing fingers that neither will catch his virus as the doctor told us that it's highly contagious. It will be disastrous if Min catch the virus and end up with throat infection and running nose. Touchwood!


This has been an eventful June and I am quietly glad that the school holidays are coming to an end. Desperately need our daily routine back when the boys won't be asking me what they should do everyday :P

家家有本难念的经!

人说家家有本难念的经。。。果然没错。风风雨雨这么多年,我真的有些时候有些想放弃,不想念这个经了。不知道为什么,我总觉得别人对我的要求特别的高。是我太敏感,还是我这么多年总是要求自己尽量做得别人不会对我太挑剔,反而害了自己。慢慢的,我觉得越来越不能胜任,越来越累,甚至有些时候,想要放弃。唉。。或许我该放轻松,别去在意他们说我什么。必竟我没法达到每个人对我的要求,而我也没必要搞得自己那么辛苦。如果他们要骂要责怪,就让他们去吧。儿不听,眼不看,嘴不说,也是一种学问。就让我慢慢的去学习这门学问吧!

1 week down, 3 more weeks to go!

Ah...school holidays are here and going away fast! It's already the end of first week, and in 2 days' time, we'll be heading to Phuket for a short trip with in laws. Not exactly the kinda holiday I am expecting but better than nothing. Will just go and enjoy ourselves with the kids. We will celebrate Hao's birthday at Phuket as it's becoming a tradition that we will travel overseas for his birthday nearly every year since it's in the June holidays. Convenient for us :P


Next week when we come back from Phuket, I will need to bring Min to KKH for his blood test prior to surgery on the 15th June. By then 2nd week of holiday will have passed, and 3rd week will be his surgery, which will leave us home bound as he will need at least 2 weeks to recovery and likely I'll keep him at home for another week when school reopens again. That's to let him build up his health again and minimise the chance of him catching on any flu bugs and other illnesses in school.


This holiday seems to be a short one, as I hardly have time to bring the kids out. Hope Min's surgery will turn out well. Keep him in our prayers.
