We have decided to move out in Oct and rent a house just 5 houses away from my parents’ house. Yes, it is literally a stone’s throw away or barely 30 seconds of walking between both houses.
Ever since Clarisse was born, my parents helped me to take care of her a lot. When situations arise where Clarisse can’t tag along, I leave her at my mom’s place knowing she’s in very safe hands. I can’t put into words how grateful I am she’s willing to sacrifice time and effort to care for my little brat in times of need. And I’m absolutely thrilled and even more grateful she offered to lend a helping hand in the next couple of months.

I used to wonder why my cousin sister wears a pair of big black leather shoes whenever she goes out. She wear it with a pair of jeans usually but the combo doesn’t exactly exude feminity if you ask me. Last week, I asked her why she loves it so much. Apparently its a very comfortable shoe. It’s made by Dansko, a brand famous worldwide for comfortable footwear. She said I should try on a pair to see what the buzz is about. It’s not cheap but her pair of Dansko were bought more than 3 years ago and she’s wearing it daily. This says a lot about durability and quality of Dansko shoes.

It started yesterday. We don’t know if the fever she had on Friday had anything to do with the cold she’s having now. But Clarisse is having a pretty bad cough and runny nose.
This is a terrible time to catch a cold with the country recording a spike in A(H1N1) cases. It really makes you wonder if the next person standing beside or walking past you in public places is carrying the flu bug.

I was offered a free session of facial yesterday by a sales promoter. She asked when was the last time I had a facial session and that made me realise I couldn’t even recall. It had to be more than 3 years ago as I stopped going regularly after Clarisse was conceived. After she was born, I couldn’t even find the time to exercise, nevermind going to facial sessions. Although my face doesn’t experience much breakouts, I do really need to get rid of blackheads. My face is oily by nature, I dread to imagine a cesspool of dirt and oil clogging up those pores. I might just free up a couple of hours for my free session next week.

Clarisse loves to draw. Her cousin’s birthday is next week. So I took our some birthday greeting cards for Clarisse to choose. The chosen card shall be sent to her cousin in Singapore. And before that, I let her whip out her colour pencils and crayons and draw stuff in the card till she’s contented. I would also take her hand, guide her to write a few words. The card will be full of circles and faces as these are Clarisse’s favourite objects to draw.

Clarisse is having a fever now. She woke up fine this morning at 8am but feverish at around 11am. By then I had already prepared her lunch which is rice, chicken and some vegetables. Of course, now that she’s having a fever, she can’t eat rice and had to resort to eating bread. Watching her running and jumping and playing this morning, I wouldn’t have realised she is about to have a fever.
I gave 2.5ml of fever syrup and asked my mom to boil some cooling barley water for Clarisse. But I’m particularly worried about sudden fever. So I would take her to the paed later in the afternoon if her fever persists.

Today marks a day worth remembering for me. I’ve just attended a dog birthday party. My friend Janine is a dog lover in the truest sense of the word. She invited me over to her house to celebrate her precious one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier’s birthday. I bought a bottle of dog flea and tick control solution called Frontline Plus as a gift. I wanted to buy her something useful but with just a day to decide what to buy, I think I could do better than that. Anyhow, the event turned out better than I had expected. I get to meet with a lot of dog lovers who brought along their chi hua huas, labradors, dalmation, golden retriever and all sorts of terriers. Most impressive is how the dogs are trained to behave so well and follow their master’s orders faithfully.

This weekend, we were supposed to bring Clarisse along to the race course. No, we’re not heading to the main stands or punting but to the horse barns instead. My dad has a friend who owns a horse supplies business and also works as a trainer there. We were suppose to meet him this morning but too bad, he called us last night to cancel the appointment due to personal reasons and re-schedule it something next week. It would’ve been Clarisse’s first opportunity to see a full-grown horse up close. I can only imagine how excited she’d be seeing a horse within touching distance. And perhaps even touch and pet one.

My appointment with my OB today, for a blood sugar level test at 8AM, means I would have to wake Clarisse up by 7.30am. Drop her at my mom’s place before heading to the hospital for a 3 hour long procedure. My mom agreed to look after Clarisse for the entire morning. Morning is when she is at her busiest so I was really grateful she is willing to help me out.
Clarisse gave me a pleasant surprise to start the day. While I was helping her put on her socks, I said to her ” … we are going to poh poh‘s house now “.
” Jacynth che che? “, asked Clarisse.
For a second there, I was stumped why all of a sudden she mentioned her 8-year-old cousin sister who lives in KL and last come back Ipoh a month ago.
