I took my temperature a while ago. The reading says 38.2c. I’m kinda surprised by my temperature because I can’t remember the last time my fever is this bad. In fact, I can’t even recall when my last fever was. My body and joints are painful. While tucking baby Edward in, the room felt so cold I had to hop out of bed to get a jacket. The air-conditioner is set to 27c, low fan and the draft wasn’t even blowing directly at the bed. Still, I was shivering. I haven’t felt this bad in a long time. Popped two Panadol Actifast before I go to sleep later. I hope I’d wake up feeling better. Wish me luck.

Queen Elizabeth II greets Najib is yellow 'BERSIH' dress
Queen E shows the world how to send a strong message across without saying a thing. By welcoming Najib and Rosmah in a yellow dress, in a yellow adorned room, Queen E has given the press much to write about. By my interpretation, this reception is more like a tight slap to Najib’s face. On behalf of most Malaysians who support Bersih, thank you very much Queen Elizabeth II.

The things our UMNO government do can be so stupid, it’s unbelievable. I’m talking about Bersih 2.0 and how UMNO expect to talk their way out of it. Bersih 2.0 rally saw the police, under UMNO’s instruction, violently go against the peaceful demonstrators. Tons of reporting, photos and videos tell and show us what transpired on that day.
In the past two days, we witness how clumsy UMNO tried to justify their actions. But it boggles my mind how far they can go to try to clean up their mess. They are telling lies one after another to cover up the truth and expect us to buy their distorted stories. Denying every blatant fact. Blaming everyone else but themselves.
Take for instance, firing tear gas canisters into Tung Shin Hospital compound. Health minister Liow Tiong Lai deny it happened. But of course everyone know it happened because citizen reporting has already published photos and videos to highlight this matter. Hospital grounds are protected under international humanitarian laws and by firing tear gas into the compound, our police have committed a war crime. UMNO is currently still denying the police did so.
Firing of tear gas into Tung Shin Hospital is just one of the many incidents UMNO is trying to deny. But that is impossible because alternative media is full of photos and video to proof otherwise. Just what does UMNO expect to get out of all these denials? A 5 minute search on Google can lead you to eye-witness accounts, photos and videos to proof UMNO is lying.

The past two days has been really tough. I woke up on Monday with a sorethroat and by evening, it got so bad that I think it’s the worst sorethroat I’ve ever had in my life. At this stage, no amount of gargling with salt water, drinking honey lime water or Strepsil will do any good. Those stuff may help sooth my throat a bit but the only thing left now is to wait for it recover.
Baby Edward has become very attached to me lately. He’d come running to me every 5 or 10 minutes and wants me to carry him. Crying non stop until I do so. It drives me nuts when I’m busy with chores or while I’m cooking. Or when I need to go to the bathroom. I try to do as much house chores and cook when Clarisse and baby Edward take their afternoon nap.
On weekdays, my day starts at 7am and ends about 1.30pm at night. Apart from taking care of the kids, chores and cooking, there’s barely any time left for myself. And being sick just makes the days much worst to bear.

Right after school, we took Clarisse to choose a birthday cake design and decoration. She chose a sea animal themed decoration. At first she wanted her birthday cake decorated with dinosaurs but it wasn’t available in the catalogue so she had to settle for sea animals.
We ordered a 2kg butter cake which cost RM124. Compared to last year, the price has increased sharply. It was around RM110 last October for Baby Edward’s birthday cake. It may very well be RM140 next year, I won’t be surprised. If inflation is growing at this rate, and our salaries could barely catch up, Malaysians will be in deep shit by 2020.
Anyway, I hope will be ok to celebrate her birthday with her classmates.

I’m feeling worried again. Barely 4 days after going back to school, Clarisse is getting sick again. She woke up with a runny nose and a low grade fever. After school her fever shot up to 39 degrees. I gave her fever syrup and suppository. An hour later, her fever came down a bit. I really can’t help being worried sick after Clarisse spent a week in hospital recovering from pneumonia.
Her birthday is on Thursday, just two days away. And we promised her to buy her a cake to celebrate her birthday with her classmates in kindergarten. I hope it’s just a mild flu and won’t get worst. Most importantly, I hope she don’t suffer high fevers. It’s now wait and see.

Just as I feared, after 3 weeks of missing out on school, Clarisse is distressed about going to school again. We will have to bear with the crying and frustration every morning getting her ready for school all over again.
Clarisse started crying before bedtime tonight. Repeatedly say “I don’t want to go to school” countless times. Of course every word I say isn’t good enough to convince her it’ll be alright. She is not listening to anything we say. Just refusing to go to school.
I’m dreading tomorrow morning when I have to wake her up for school. Mornings are always a rush and if baby Edward wakes up too, the situation is worst. Clarisse is always late to school because she eats her breakfast annoyingly slow. The last thing I want is Clarisse to cry and test my patience to the limit.

Baby Edward has been suffering from eczema for about 3 months. I started to keep track of food that triggers eczema reaction in him and most obvious is wheat based food. We avoid it as much as we could.
My nephew also has eczema and it started around the same age as Edward. My sister tried many ways to suppress his eczema and finally found several effective solutions. Probiotics and toxic cleansing fruit juices were very effective in controlling his eczema attacks. I have started to introduce probiotics and immune system boosting vitamin supplements to baby Edward’s diet. I will give him fruit juices when he’s older.
From what I heard, taking probiotics supplement for the first time is known to cause an initial outbreak of eczema rashes. Within the first few days, baby Edward experience fairly severe eczema rashes all over
his body – neck, tummy, buttocks, legs and hands. I was expecting it so it didn’t alarm me. A lot of people is unaware probiotics would cause eczema rashes when first taken. Many people assume probiotics is responsible for making their eczema worst and would stop taking it immediately.
The eczema rashes on baby Edward’s body, caused by introducing probiotics to his diet I presume, has yet to disappear. I hope what I heard is right. And pray probiotics would help relieve baby Edward’s eczema as time goes by.

It’s been 3 weeks Clarisse hasn’t go to school. Having spent one whole week at the hospital due to pneumonia and 2 weeks recovering from it, she is very lazy for school.
She cried the moment we wake her up for school. Kept being fussy and very cranky while washing up, getting dressed, eating breakfast and getting ready for school. I had to agree to accompany her to school this morning.
After weeks of missing school, Clarisse really wasn’t in the mood for school. I left her to her teachers after accompanying her to her class. She kept weeping as I left. I hope she’ll get used to school in a few more days.

UMNO’s latest attempt to stir religious tension between Islam and Christian makes me sick. A pro-UMNO blogger, so called Big Dog, sees a group of Christians gather around and accuses them of planning to make Malaysia a Christian state. DAP Jeff Ooi was around too, so DAP was thrown into the mix of orchestrating something sinister. Utusan got a whiff of this sensational blog post and wasted no time making sure this shit hits the fan.
There is no shred of evidence to back up the blogger’s and Utusan’s claim. And yet they can write such accusations without fear of being prosecuted and held accountable. Utusan Malaysia was issued a warning letter only. I swear those who work for Utusan can get away with murder in Malaysia.
Who would believe DAP would do such a thing? Push for Christian state and PM? That’s political suicide in Malaysia.
