yum yum dynamo....


I got a called from my wife this morning.

“Dear, Ah Mei (Nanny) just called, guesswhat?”

Ok, we all know “guesswhat” is a universal word which means something bad happened. And this word also has a very strong bond with Kieran.

“Ah Mei found Kieran at the kitchen, he was playing with Dynamo (washing detergent) and ate/drank some of it.”

All that Kieran could say was “ hot hot hot hot” with his tongue sticking out. All that i could think of was a picture of Winnie the Poon and her pot of honey! Aiyoh, this boy really hunt for food, Dynamo also can eat. Haiz. Anyway the Nanny said it was only a small amount. My wife took half-day leave to bring him to see the doctor. I was back home at 6pm, there he was, dancing to Barney’s song and waiting for dinner to be served. No, I didn’t see bubbles coming out from his nose or ears. He was in his usual self. Anyway, parents, things to look out: 1~ Dynamo cannot be consumed. 2~ is the kid acting normal? 3~ any vomiting and fainting spell? 4~ is the kid sleeping more than usual? Please consult the doctor immediately.

Knocks and not everyone is Peter Parker




Kayzia knocked her head yesterday in the childcare. Nope, not in the playground, but while she was sleeping! At the stroke of midnight, she complaints of pain near her left temple. As she did not vomit or faint the whole day, both Mel and I thought she just needed the doctor's assurance. Well, we were right, the doctor gave her some medicine and advises us to ice it down.

No, that’s not all.
Kieran also had a knocked on wed, in the library. He wanted to be like Peter Parker, guess he is not ready for the responsibility that comes with great powers. Anyway, that fall was nasty one, a 0.5cm cut, hm… Where can this cut be? That can really make it bad. Let try the eye lip then. Blood was everywhere. The poor boy was wailing big time. Took him to the new clinic at the Simei MRT. The doctor was calm, he gave him this gel to patch up the cut and observed him for about 30 mins. By then our boy was all fine. Especially when daddy and friends (CheeWan and Stephen happened to be nearby visiting their friend at Changi General Hospital) had DESSERT beside the clinic. "Mummum" with that big smile, he is back!
The funny thing is during the whole time while he was in pain, he was calling for Kayzia, "jia jia.....jia jia" ~ big sister in Chinese. I am glad these two "foos" are close to each other.

Weekend is here. All I need now is a knock-out sleep tonight.....
