The Long Weekend

Friday-1st May

The long weekend passed by really fast. Miss Amanda was down with fever since Wednesday night. The fever comes and goes but temperature is always around 38++ degrees. On Friday morning, we decided to bring her to see the doc. Brought her to KKH, all visitors have to have their temperature taken all that due to the swine flu. There were a lot of people! Also because of the swine flu, they have set up a fever zone. Kids with fever have to wait in that area. Although it was a long wait but generally Amanda was very cooperative. It was a breeze feeding her medicine and the nurse was surprised. Even pricking her finger and squeezing out her blood for the blood test was completed without a single sound/struggle from her. We have to wait at least an hour for the blood test. Luckily, everything was fine. It was just viral fever. As Amanda was still quite active, we decided to go for lunch before heading home. Daddy brought us to Aljunied Ave 2 Blk 119 I think for some dim sum. The lotus glutinous rice and a fried banana with prawn was really yummy!

In the evening, MIL offered to look after Amanda while we went out for dinner. Its been such a long time since we have time to "pak tor". We went to the newly opened Japanese foodcourt at northpoint. All are Japanese food and at foodcourt price. I find the food not bad and pricing reasonable. Its nice and refreshing concept.

Saturday-2nd May

Saturday morning, I measured Amanda's temperature. Her fever seemed to be gone and she was quite active. Also received an sms from LNT centre to measure our kids temperature before bringing them for class. Anyone having fever will not be allowed to attend lesson. This time round, its really a 1-1 lesson as nobody turned up! I was so surprised. Maybe due to swine flu?

After lesson, we headed to kitchener road for some famous mutton soup. Its yummy! Its just opposite the famous scissor curry rice.

In the evening, we had Thai food at Jal Thai located at Jalan Pemimpin. Its our second time there. I must say its really value for money for some authentic Thai food.

Amanda was well. Fever was gone but her cough seems to get worse after she took the cough medicine....

Sunday - 3rd May

In the morning, we sent MIL to SengKang as she wanted to go to SIL place. After sending her off, we headed to Punggol Plaza for some brunch. Walked around there for a while.

Amanda "learning how to play" She really look like a boy in the oversized Liverpool jersey...............

Thereafter, we went to my mum place before leaving to visit my grandma. We also went to West Coast Plaza which was newly opened. It used to be called Ginza Plaza. There is really nothing much there and pretty quiet too on a Sunday afternoon. Our final stop was at The Bottle Tree before we headed back to mum's place for some home cooked dinner.

Amanda's fever was gone but her cough is now full of phlegm and has running nose too. She has difficulty sleeping well when she cough. So I elevated her with my pillow and it seemed to make her feel better. Its the first time she has cough which had phlegm and its really xin ku plus she do not know how to spit out the phlegm. Hope she gets well soon.

At Bottle Tree. Was amazed by the little fishes.
