Harvest In Cafe in Irrawady Road






We were at town visiting a friend and he recommend us lunch in Harvest-In cafe at the irrawady road. I didn't bring my camera along and the photos are taken through my cell phone.

Food are reasonably priced and thus kind of expect the smaller portion. Liked the decoration, i think it's kind of chic. we ordered the chicken mushroom soup, the chicken tikka masala and spagetti with minced chicken (for my weak stomach).

Superstition

OK, i'm not a big fan on superstitions but when it comes to Cassie, it seems like there are some superstition pattern occuring to her. There are many different superstitions but for Cassie, it's usually about her weight or height in general. She's now 3 years and 3 months old and this is already her third time admitted to hospital. It's almost a yearly event now ... :(

We went out and have lunch with our friends on Monday, then i commented said that no matter how much Cassie eat during meal time, she cannot seems to gain weight anywhere on her body but her tummy only.

On Wed 4am, Cassie woke up and started vomit :( . Note that i said started because then she continue to vomit almost every 2.5 hrs later. 4am, 6.30 am, 9 am and go one ... It was just aweful, i sent her to the clinic as soon as it's open (about 9.30 am) and the doctor presribed some medication to control her condition. I asked the doctor said how will she consume the medication orally especially since she's vomiting, the doctor assured me not to worry and said the medication is to control that and she should be better soon.

OK, i gave her the medication and she was so tired that she went to sleep soon after. After about 1 hour, she woke up and vomit again. This time, it's about 8 hrs since she consumed any fluid and we decided to send her to the hospital. In the hospital, doctor diagnosed her having stomach flu due to virous and gave her some injection. Also the doctor asked me to feed her 'salty' food especially crackers.

Cracker because the food is salty and it will hold on fluid so that she won't get dehydration. when she vomit, her stomach is empty and there will be a lot of 'wind'. She still need to drink water and eating crackers will help to retain the water. But no glucose or any sugary food, this is mainly because the sugar will caused her to 'gag' more. So, first tips for any vomit condition, crackers and water.

Well, i tried what was suggested after the injection but her condition didn't improve. So, we have to admitted her to the hospital. I must say she's really brave in all this, didn't really shed tears when injection, she just 'awwwoe' a bit ... She got better during the nite but need to be monitored for another day before she can be discharged. The hospital pediactric ward comes with a playground and when she got better on the 2nd day, she started to made friends. Even when she got the OK to go home from the doctor, she told me she still not feeling well and wanted to stay. haha, things the kids do !!

She's feeling much better now, still on the no sugar no lactose produced diet, but is now home resting. Thank you all for the help, well wishes and phone calls !!

Fun at water theme park


It was a hot and sunny sunday and right after breakfast, we made the spontaneous decision to soak up the sun at the Bukit Merah water theme park.


It's RM22 per adult and Rm18 for kids above 90cm and kids below 90 cm in height can enter free !! i was secretly hoping they won't measure Cassie so that she can get in free of charge, but there's a measuring tape glue in front of the ticketing office and there goes my RM18 ... Anyhow, i didn't measure Cassie's height that find it amusing to have to confirm her height this way :)

There are multiple playing areas and it's actually quite well kept. There are kids pool (they named it the rainforest area), a seaside area, a adventure area (for teenagers) and of-course all sorts of water slides. I didn't manage to try the slides this time, because Cassie was glued to my side at all time :) G did try the slides and he said the slides were quite OK.
We spent a good 3 hours there and Cassie enjoyed the water playground the most. She was afraid of the water jets and fountain at first, but once she was into the game, she just cannot stop.
I had to sweet talk/warn/blackmail to get her out of the water later that day.
when evening arrived, all of us have rosy cheek and really rosy shoulder too because of the sun !! I just hope the sun-burnt won't get too painful tomorrow. Bring plenty of sunscreen when u soak up the sun my friends :)

CNY Karaoke sessions



Singing karaoke has somehow became a usual/must have CNY activity at my parent's place. My dad will have his friends came over for an afternoon sessions, Cassie without failed, will ask for the microphone and have her share of a good time.

CNY cum costume party at school


Cassie's pre-school had a CNY party on Monday together with a costume party. All kids are asked to wear red colors and traditional dress type if possible.

i didn't buy her traditional dress this year and thus wasn't thinking too much about it when i dress her up in her last's year's dress. I figure this is some of the few small chances that she had to wear those type of dress.

Surprisingly, she came back with a consolation prize that day. She was pretty excited about it the whole day and can't even take her nap ! :)

CNY is 1/2 way over ?


This is Cassie's reaction when we told her that she needs to go back to school on monday and it's no longer the chinese new year holiday. Meaning no more hanging out with her friends/cousins, no more stuffing in candy/cookies/cake & etc and no more shopping trips.
Well, not this year anyway Cassie. We'll do all those again next year and it's gonna be sooner than you think ! :)
