QQ is low in calcium or what?

Funny, my girl does not have good teeth like me. Believe or not, I had  just done a filling at one of my molar, for the first time in my whole life a few weeks ago!
I start wearing a braces only at the age of 13 (if I remember correctly) and had them removed when [...]

Shingles (or “Snake blister”)

Thanks for kind friends who called me for the suggestion to “Snake” treatment for my mum. I also found out from Martini that the “snake blister” condition is medically referred as Shingles (also called Herpes Zoster). It is is caused by a virus called the Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and is in the Herpes family [...]

Cancer or what??

It started about a month or two ago. I discovered a lump with very bad pain at one of my armpit. It hurts so badly that I could not even wear my newly bought corset. But since cancerous lump is not suppose to be painful, so I thought it cannot be a dangerous lump. However, [...]

Follow up on Root Canal Treatment

Remember QQ and her scary experience of Root Canal Treatment 2 weeks ago? Yesterday she had to go back to remove the temporary filling and have it replace with permanent filling. Her appointment was actually scheduled a week earlier (before the temporary filling cracks and had bacteria entering that area again). But as she was [...]

Scary root canal treatment for QQ

Sounds like a scary treatment, isn’t it?
3 days back, QQ started complaining about her mouth pain and keep on referring to her cheeck. Since we could not find any ulcer in her mouth, we suspected it must be due to her gums. What a surprising finding on her first dental visit and the dentist actually [...]

Cheaper Cervival Cancer Jab

I just got myself the Cervical Cancer Jab few days back. Since it is already so cheap now (Rm200/jab as compare to the previous one Rm490/jab), hubby urged me to go for it. Seeing the children so attached and dependent on me, he is really scared of losing me especially when they are all still [...]

Over worried over H1N1

Avoiding crowded places
Afraid of going to crowded places, it has been quite sometime since we went to the mall. Since it was quite boring on last weekend, hubby suggested we go out but my little girl insisted on having us wearing mask. I am really amaze to learn that she has so much [...]

How scary is H1N1?

Situations seems to be uncontrollable everywhere. More and more people are infected with the scary disease and it spread even quicker than AIDS, which we once used to be so afraid of.
We are suppose to head back to my hometown for my cousin’s wedding, but with so many family members and relatives coming from [...]

Sleepless night, AGAIN

Just shortly after my elder twin recovery from Roseola, again I got to endure another series of sleepless night. This time it is his younger brother! Surprisingly Roseola did not get him (although they share their milk supply, you know what I mean), but he is down with flu since 2 days ago. Poor baby [...]

Sesame face - Roseola

Tags:

After a series of high fever episode, with temperature exceed 40 C degree, finally the heat is released by Kor-kor’s body. So many false alarms from this boy, *speechless*…

Roseola is one of those harmless but uncomfortable childhood diseases. I think Chinese we called them fake measles. Yes, it is truly uncomfortable as he cry very [...]

Formula to get “Fair Tofu Skin” babies

Not being blessed with a fair skin like my peers and both my brothers, I had always wanted to look fair when I was young. I applied lots of baby powder on my face, take an umbrella whenever I go under the sun when I was a teenager. Unfortunately nothing works for me.
When [...]

Thalassemia blood test

We were so worried when our paed suspected Kor-kor has Thalassemia before CNY (low red blood cell). So finally, on Monday, I brought Kor-kor to do the Thalassemia test (luckily he only cried when the dr poked him, and not really much while waiting for his blood to drip into the bottles).
Result came out 2 [...]

Thalassemia?

Today is the 6th day and Kor-kor is still having high fever (with no sign of any infection, flu or cough). This morning his temperature marked 39.1C degree (I overslept at night and did not feed him any medication after his last feed at midnight).
Since it has been for days, the doctor took blood [...]

Weird fever

Kor-kor developed high fever since last Friday until now *scratch head*. His temperature goes up and down like roller coaster but there is no sign of flu or cough until today. I am not sure if he is teething (cannot feel any hard teeth coming up from his gum yet), but he shows sign of [...]

Chinese or Western medication?

Although both the boys are exclusively on breastmilk, I still find that they get sick very easily as compare to my elder girl. Since they moved into their 3rd month, they have been getting sick, from one to another. The doctor said it could be due to different kind of virus, therefore when they are [...]
