What's up?

nothing much. two kids sick and then recovered. Then Jill had slight temperature coz she was teething. Hmm, I noticed this trend with girls...Jon's cousins Megan, Mabel and Qiqi.

Then last Fri afternoon, we brought Jill for a hair cut and Jon came along. After the haircut, we got home and Simon brought them to walk in the compound for like less than 5 mins while I prepared Jill's porridge. That night, Jon kena fever of 38.3 degree Celsius! Aiyo, just because my dear hubs didn't wipe him when then they came inside. But hubs protested Jon wasn't even perspiring. i said he didn't but once inside when he stops moving, the perspiration will come.

On Saturday, Jon's fever even went up to 39.4 degree Celsius, coz I thought he was recovering and was feeding Jill lunch and bathing her, so late in giving him panadol by an hour! *faint* Thankfully, grandma managed to buy red onions (rm15 per kg now!, and was out of stock at some places...weird I know). and rub him all over with a pouch containing crushed boiled red onions and boiled egg. That apparently brought him temperature down and the fever was gone. Have you heard of this old wives' remedy for fever? It seems to work for Jon.

I didn't have time to scrap with the kidlets being sick for two weeks, and me for two days. Jill is also very maja nowsadys, clinging onto me for dear life. I am so tired I can't even scrapbook while Jill is napping. I just quickly eat my breakfast and read the papers before taking a quick morning shower, and soon she will be awake. She sleeps shorter hours when teething coz uncomfortable mah. She's better the last few days. So, let's hope she sleeps longer and then I can scrap again before Jon comes back. In the afternoon when the kids nap, I nap too. very tired nowsdays...am I getting old? And I don't stay online very long at night after the kids are alseep.

Here're a few photos of the kidlets.
Jon loves feeding the fishes. Will let him do so at night otherwise the fishes will die from over-eating!

PS: Jon still refuses to wear his PE t-shirt to kindergarten on Mons and Weds! Managed to get him to wear the school shirt instead. Better than nothing!

And our home is slowing taking form, with roof beams cast and some walls up. YAY!

Our small kicthen, smaller than the one in my flat in Singapore


The living room

Master bedroom with the pipes sticking out from the side. next to it is a very small bedroom 3...can't be helped, I wanted everything on one floor and there's limited land space unless we have more budget for a double storey
Hope all of us will have a good week, coz next week is CNY!!! And Jon's kindergarten will be closed the whole week. yeah, in Malaysia, that happens, so all the teachers can go back to their home town and celebrate CNY. It's more festive that way, compared with Singapore. I miss ba kwa and pineapple tarts from Singapore!!

You should make a mini on your new home construction Kim, it's going to be quite a journey.
