The painful weekend

I spent the weekend with Zann at home. My plan to bring her out was cancelled because she was having a high fever for both days. Neither did she want to eat nor drink these two days because of the the pain caused by the inflamed tonsils. She was crying bitterly when I gave her water and some fruits. The swallowing was the painful part now that she has tonsillitis. A lot of times, she would just point her throat and cried, “Pain, Pain.” My heart ached upon hearing this. 

For the past 2 nights, I woke up more than usual to check her temperature, sponging her, making sure that that she had her medicine on time. This morning, her temperature has gone down. For now, her throat still hurts badly.

We did some drawings together in the afternoon. I asked her to draw face, eyes, mouth and hair…and well, she did, by herself. Her motor skills has improved.

The gathering

I was looking forward to the gathering arranged today. I was prepared to meet them at Balachavia after work. After all, I have not seen some of them for so many years. But in the end, I couldn’t go. 

Because Zann was having a fever.

Lousy lunch

I had a distressingly lousy lunch at SMU today. I waited for an hour before food was served to me. Even some who were before us waited very long too. The poor management made it even worse. The blur auntie who took my order earlier, told me that they needed another 30 mins to get the rice cooked ! She asked if I can replace my order with other noodle dishes instead. Wah lau. 

This place is banned. I am not going back there anymore.

Let’s cook something new

It was my first attempt to cook this Japanese curry for Zann’s dinner. To make it more sweeter, I added some sweet potatoes. It turned out good and she likes it on her rice.

Let’s meet up…

It was near to 9pm when I saw the sms SH has sent. So I decided to bring my girl out to meet her. We didn’t want to go far, so I suggested Ikea.

Those fried sweet potato balls…

I was having lunch with Joelle when she introduced me to this stall, Ri Xin who is famous for their fried sweet potato balls. Knowing that I would be hungry later, I decided to buy 15 pieces of these greasy snacks back. Zann doesn’t like it. I guessed they have turned a bit hard when I got home. 

Toddlers playground at National Museum

We spent an hour at the Museum today. 

The National Museum has set up a small play area for toddlers which is called the Murmurs Playground. It’s got a little tunnel, a ball pit. big comfy bean bags and a little corner for drawing session. Most importantly, it’s free admission ! 

Singapore Toy and Comic Convention

I attended the preview night of Singapore Toy and Comic Convention. Facing the entrance was the prominent Nintendo booth which served 9 Wii consoles with different games. I managed to play some of them. 

Some of the toys and comic characters from STCC which I like . 

The legendary Old Master Q with Big Potato. I used to collect their comics
when I was young. 

The little pink gloomy bear

Astro boy.

Do these bread look real to you ? I almost forgot they were toys. They are called em breadou which can be used as stress ball . Erm.. and they smell nice too. 

How I wish these Starwar figurines are mine. 

I am not a fan of Tokidoki brand, but I thought it would be good if I can get the autograph signature from Simone Legno. But the booth was already closed when I went back. Sob. I should have joined the queue earlier. 

Let’s do some coloring

Just eat more when you feel stressed…

I had a fulfilling oily lunch. Didn’t want to think of the calories.
Eat first then say.
