Rubik's Cube

I used to play this toy during my Pri sch days. The craze is back with more difficult formations. A group of teens were playing with it, armed with a speed calculator to count how fast they can solve the cubes. They were really very fast and nimble with their fingers. Joel's just trying to act like as if he knows.

Top of the World

Naughty Joel climbing onto daddy's shoulder, tiring daddy out!

Ah Kun Toast

Joel's #1 fave is Mac, #2 has to be Ah Kun. His appetite is getting bigger, we had no chance to sip the half boil eggs at all. He ate up the whole 2 eggs + 1pc of toast!

Such Sweet Thoughts

So nice to be a loving couple, Christine got 99roses today! So envious, I have never got such big bouquet, and never will, because I'm Married!

Love for Bread

For the whole of last week, Joel craved for bread. Whenever he saw a loaf of bread on the dining table, he will take it to me. He loves it even if its just plain bread I gave, hmm, like feeding a bird :P

What a ****

Ai ya, why must I say my tooth is getting better? I should have been superstitious .. The tooth act up again today. Being very kiasu and kiasee, I went to see Dr Chua this very afternoon. I knew it, he said sorry he has no time to do anything for me today.

More medication were sprayed / injected into my tooth, and another course of antibiotics. I should be able to wait till this Friday.

Its official now: I hate to go to the Dentist :'(

Oven Baked Fries

I got this from Cold Storage, quite happy, as it sounds quite healthy to me. I tried it today, baked in the oven for just 15mins. I think it tasted like Mos Burger fries but its baked. Joel loves it. Even if I have to give him junk food, I try my best to make it less 'damaging'. Kekeke.

What's for Lunch

Wkend w/out Daddy around is boring. I fried macaroni with broccoli, cherry tomatoes, fish for Joel. I can see that he start to develop a dislike for vege. So normal, all kids hates vege.

Felt Much Better

I am sort of looking forward and yet not looking forward to seeing Dr Chua next Friday. But he's good, the cement like thing he planted onto my cracked tooth prevented foreigh objects to fall into the tooth. Although I still felt some aching, but its nothing compared to the excruciating pain last week.

Of course, I still cant open my mouth wide big to bite a burger yet! Hehehe.

And after my root canal procedure, I am going to look forward to our Bangkok trip!

Fat again?

Felt hungry for 2 days on soft diet. My sis in law brought me food today. A big pot of porridge, Kuehs from Bengawan solo. First time i felt so full, plus the kuehs, I think I piled my fats back.

Best of all, she brought me Toothache Tea! Thanks alot my dear!

Masak Masak

Teacher Janice feedback to me weeks ago. "Joel loves to cook, you should get him a small set of cookery toy. Dont worry, its not girly at all"

Of course not ! ! The top chef in the world are all Men! I got him a set tonight!

Swensen's

I have been feeling hungry for 2days, surviving on just cereal & porridge. Went out with Joel to Swensen's, must eat some good food, but I ordered a soup in the end.... nothing soft enough:(

Joel's the happiest. Swens gave colour pencils too...

Polyclinic

Wasn't a long wait, we went in the non peak hour. Appointment fixed on 28Aug08, a long wait since we are referred patient. Never mind! We will wait patiently.

Joel is happily exploring the water cooler, had another horrible haircut session, and finally got his fave Mac fries.

Soft Diet

This is my lunch today, I may have to eat such food for a while. Maybe this will slim me down..something good MUST come out of the bad... *Praying**

In Agony

I should have remembered, Must not deal with female Dentist. Its a Stigma, but I forgot. That female dentist who treated me on Wed did a bad job. I was in pain last night, I had to see another dentist today.

The roots are badly infected, the nerves are damaged, a root canal is neccessary, followed by crowning. When Dr Chua said he will need to jab for me, I cried!

Anyway due to the intensity of the pain (even with the jab), he cant do the procedure today. That means I have to go back again on 27June, get another jab!

Joel must have felt my pain this morning, he cried and cried. I started to have a bad premonition. The way he cried makes me think that I'm going to surely die on the dentist chair.

I survived. So tired and hungry now, but I have to braced myself to bring him to Polyclinic later.

The summons has been sent to Mr Ng, he has to come back ASAP!

I'm Grateful

Our Family GP observed the way Joel blabbered to him, and told us to seek treatment asap, DO NOT Delay. He said he has seen so many austistic kids 'talk' like that. My heart sank when he said it. I only want my son to be normal and healthy. I will be bringing Joel to Polyclinic to get a referral to KK this week. Even though he is not being diagnosed / confirmed, I just have to be prepared for the worse.

I must thank my friends and colleagues for the concern, encouragement to keep me moving on. The referrals, the helps, the article, thanks so much for the concern! I need alot of encouragement to move on, most of the time I have to do things all alone. I'm like a 'single mom' who has to juggle my son's physical and emotional needs. Its not easy! But I will make it

Thanks again !!

Ouch It Hurts!

The pain has been bothering me for a week. I cant take it today, MUST go see a dentist. There is a cavite, a hole with pus, a cracked at the back. I should have listen to the doc to go back for filling earlier... Because of my procrastination, I had to have 2 Local anasthetic jabs *Faint*, and more than an hour of agony. :(

So painful, so if you guys have a problem, do not delay seeing a doctor.

Worried

Joel still cant talk, refused to talk. Even stopped saying words that he know.... I think I must bring him to see the specialist again. Or else, how is he going to catch up with the rest when he goes Nursery next year?

Sigh.... its a boring month for us.. nothing to look forward to. Daddy's going to be gone for the whole of June :(
