Dave 17 Months +

For the first time Dave fell down terribly and hit his upper lip. Luckily his teeth are still fine. He fell down at the backyard while spinning around for a couple of times.

Day after he fell down. The lip is recovering...

Nowadays, he loves to move his body while listening to music or just make a spin for couple of times or take things from the floor and put them in the mouth.. can be anything.. paper.. ants.. (disgusting...?? yes...) How can I stop him from his last habit?

Life is Like a Crystal Ball...

I watched a movie starred by Andy Lau and Shu Qi that mentions life is like a crystal ball. It fell down from the sky and broke into pieces. Some people able to gather and fix most of the pieces. However, some people are able to collect some of the pieces.

How many pieces that we collect and stick together determine how complete our life. No matter how complete our life is, it can't be 100% as it is not possible for us to collect all pieces of the crystal ball.

We can just try to collect as many as possible and keep looking for the pieces.

Why Do You Want to Pursue MBA?

What can be more beneficial for the company than to employ a person with a strong background in both technology and business? By having a Bachelor degree in Business Computing alone is not going to boost my career prospects. As an individual that concerns with life development and career, I realize that I need to start my MBA as soon as possible. Especially in today business world that is so competitive and challenging.

One of the reasons of me pursuing MBA is to have a network. I believe that if I know how to build-up this relationship, they will be my life-time network. Besides that, by pursuing MBA, it means that I am escalating my knowledge. By hearing the highly-ambitious people sharing their vision and purpose of their lives might trigger me to upgrade my vision and purpose of life. An MBA will also increase my awareness on things, such as things that I need to know but I do not know that I need to know. Last but not least, pursue MBA from a reputable University, such as Concordia University, will give me a status in the society.

Whereas can I find a University that provides a clear vision, real-world experience, and responsive if it is not from the Concordia University? I believe that once I am graduated from the University, I can walk out the door and make an impact on my organization.

Risks of Having Chilren

Is that a must to have a child in every marriage life? In every marriage life, most of the couples would like to have at least one child.

Reasons are varied from inheritance to hope to belief. Inheritance maybe for those people who are wealthy enough that might need someone to inherit their wealth. Meanwhile, some people need children so that their children can take care of them when they get old. Others are for egoism reasons, as every marriage need to have children, if they don't have, then something is wrong.

Actually having children are a mixer of a little bit of risk, worry, and happy. Starts from pregnancy, delivery, and till the end of our day. During the pregnancy, we are already worried if the fetus is going to be complete, fine, healthy, etc. Same thing during the delivery time. Will be both baby and mother turns out to be alright.

Dave was hospitalized on Friday night as the fever reached 39 Celsius plus. He had the infusion which is a very sad thing to see. He was wrapped with blanket and there were 4 nurses needed to hold his hand during the infusion time. Meanwhile, me and Mr. held his feet and tried to calm him. He`s very strong. The sad thing was to see him crying while looking at me and asking for help.

He`s hospitalized for 3 days and 2 nights. The doctor said that fever normally caused by 2 things, which are virus and bacteria. Dave`s fever was caused by a very light virus. Respiratory virus. The doctor didn`t give any medicine. Only infusion. Anti-biotic is also not necessary as it's not caused by bacteria.

Honestly, it kinda makes me worry to give Dave a sibling. As worries will be there as long as we alive.

Dave is having fever again...

It's not even a month since Dave recovered from fever. Last night, at about 3 am, the fever reached 39 degree Celsius. Am a bit worried. So, I woke him up and gave him Tempra hope that the fever will get better. He woke up and continue to stay awake till 4 something...

First thing in the morning, I went to dr. Johan at jalan Bangka. The earliest doctor I can find and this will be the second time I visit him. Apparently, Dave has throat infection. That's the reason why the fever is still there all night long.

In Chinese, maybe we'll call this 'heat'... but then in medical term, they call this as infection.

If a child has fever, the time that we need to be caution is at around 6 pm and 2-3 am in the morning.

Pregnant... Not Pregnant... Pregnant...

Pregnant... Not pregnant... pregnant... not pregnant...
This will come to the mind of any marriage women or women who have sex intercourse and when their period is late for a day or more...

Before that, I should congratulate a friend of mine who is pregnant for about 7 weeks. They have been married for about 2 years, but those years were just for traveling... No baby in mind yet... Anyway.. they are joining us now... in the roller coaster ride of having a baby...^^

People who are expecting to get pregnant will feel a bit exciting when their period is late, but then it will come to disappointment if they have their period in a day or so...

People who are not expecting will feel a bit worried as if the lateness is really due to pregnancy...

The next thing to do is to take the pregnancy test or some people might search for the Internet for the early signs of pregnancy...

So what are the signs that you are getting pregnant?
1. Instinct
Your instinct will tell you that your body is experiencing different things and you just know it's different... But then.. most of the time.. this will come last.. as the rest will be a lot more accurate... ^^

2. Breast tenderness
It's pretty much like the symptom when you are about to have your period. However, the tenderness is different. This tenderness if more likely fill with liquid as in breast milk. They are preparing for breastfeeding...

3. Fatigue or unusual tiredness
It's because the body is working extremely hard for the changes. It's due to the hormone changes also...

4. Light bleeding or cramping
In my first pregnancy, I thought my period is coming. It wasn't. It's actually the implantation. It's when the fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine lining and usually occurs about 10 to 14 days after conception. Sometimes you might not even notice that...

5. Frequent urination
Yes... travel to the bathroom often. It's because of the growing uterus...

6. Morning sickness
Well, I won't call this as morning sickness as it's also happening in the day time....

Overall, the best result is to go to the doctor. ^^
If you are really expecting a baby... there is a very good website that you can refer to. It's babycentre or parentingweekly.

During my first pregnancy. I read that website quite often as it will send to your email address every week. The more you read, the more knowledge you are going to gain. However, sometimes it will scare you also...

Dave has fever for couple of days already. It started since Wednesday night, but it's getting better in the afternoon. He still went to school at Thursday morning. Then, the fever back again at night. I brought him to dr. Johan at Bangka street in the morning, so he had to skip school. Anyway, it's not good for him to go to school also as the fever is still quite high, 37.8 celcius.

The doctor did give him medicine. He prefers traditional medicine though, so it's kinda hard to make him eat the medicine that the doctor gave.

Then for tomorrow Valentine, it seems like we have to stay at home. :(
Mr. and friends actually already reserved a place at Sushi Tei, but then with this condition, it's impossible for us to go out. Though Dave is getting better now. No more fever.
Gosh... I love Sushi Tei so much... but then.. I am a mom... cannot be selfish... have to choose between Sushi and baby who is in his recovering phases....
