Small gathering

My ex-junior high school friend, Brenda Chiuman with her family came from USA. I arranged small gathering with our ex-schoolmates at lunch hour, the venue was at Taman Anggrek Mall. She has two boys, Alaric (8 yrs) and Tristan (1yr). She is fully housewife looking after her two kids without any babysitter. I always admire with those mommies that able handle their kids alone. Perhaps they are forced to be independent and adapted with the environment. In Indonesia, i believe most of the mommies have maid and babysitter around. That's one of the best facilities provided, in the pay of the security and welfare in which are concerned here.



Brenda was a good friend of mine in Junior high school. We were pretty closed and like to hang out together. We are separated when we stepped to the next level, Senior high school. She had chosen to Business major, and i preferred Science major. I reckon, she was one of the most popular student at school. She's got the look..tall, slim, and very friendly. We began lost contact when she continued her studies to the state, and i went to Australia. However, we definitely met each other if we happened at the same town.
Currently, glad to know that she is doing fine with her two kids. I always love to share things with her, and every time i look at her, it reminds me of our teenage days. Time flies....

Happy's 3 years old Bday

Happy was helping out in making sushi .. She was happily put the mangoes on the rice but she held me up of rolling the sushi. *sigh* It took around 2 hours to finish it.


I held a small party at home to celebrate Happy 3 years old bday. Her actual birthday date was 14 November. But i celebrated it on the next day, which felt on Sunday. I invited a few closed friends of mine, Happy's neighbourhood friends and relatives. I made sushi in addition of fried seasoning chicken, tauco prawns, fried noodles, cap chai (vegetable) and fishball soup. My sis in law brought Ice Cendol.





Cherish was playing the TV remote control before the party.




Happy was joyfully entertained her friends by sharing all her toys. Unexpectedly that the nanny and maids came together. I missed count on this part, thus KFC and Pizza were definitely crossed my mind at once. I decided to order Pizza to assure everybody stomach bloated home . This is a very general issues that every kid has his/her own guard (nanny).

Happy with her neighbourhood friends.




Happy's birthday cake ordered via phone. Happy was astonished with the cake at first, and have been kept looking on it. This was 2 levels cake. The first level was a cork with a thin green creamy on it. the second was the cake. The toys took an important role to make the cake looks attractive. I ordered Winnie the Pooh character as this was one of the character she like. By right she preferred to Spiderman :)

Overall the party was succeed, hope this celebration would provide a significant meaning for her.

Vomit part II

Faith-Healing


This is an updated post on Happy Sickness of Vomit.



Having a thought that my girl would not be eating any wrong foods that caused her vomit (20 nov evening time), i was wrong. Her vomit problem was not yet settled down. Since it was sunday (3rd day), i brought her to an alternative healing (pekpek) instead of ICU. I always have a mind that if she was still able to stand of her sickness, did not show fatigue,still active even though she lost weigth drastically, i tried not to leave her hospitalized.

Pekpek gave a bottle of syrup (mixture of few medicines), taken 3x/ day. Her first spoon, was fine in an hour. Pekpek allowed her to eat anything she liked. But i dare not to give heavy meals yet, i gave misua instead as it might slowly adjusted her tummy in digestion. She finished all, but in half an hour, she threw up again. It was about 3x vomit until the next morning. Every time she puked, i gave her about 30ml Renalyte solution to prevent dehydration, half an hour later i gave 60ml milk (lessen the milk powder). Glad that she was not that fussy to drink.


The next early morning, i gave her the medicine again before her breakfast. (60ml bottle of milk with small piece of bread). But the medicine did not work. She kept saying that the tummy was painful since yesterday and it shown bloated.It panicked me, i was afraid she might had a gastric problem. I decided to bring her back to the same doctor by stopping pekpek's medicine. The doctor clearly verdicted that was a virus/ bacteria. The doctor suggested to put her on hospitalized if the new medicine prescribed did not work. Thanks God, she did not throw up the whole day, but worries did not end yet, Diarrhea came.



I remembered on her first visit, the doctor had prescribed the medicines (BIODIAR) for diarrhea too. I gave her only Biscuit Regal (rich in protein and calorie), bread and milk. But the looseness bowels getting worse. It was about 10x on that day. I considered a severe stage. I consulted the doctor via message, he advised me of keep giving the medicines + Renalyte solution.



It has been 3 days, there was no sign yet of recovery. My energy had run out, felt exhausted and stressed in facing her stubborn character ( insisting to have the foods that not supposed to have). I could not get any more pressure, i left her with the maid and went for reflexology. I felt guilty too, coincidentally my cousin called and advised me of having vegetarian for 3days. I followed her and every night i pray..... God listened... It worked... Finally on my 2nd day vegetarian, there was a sign of recovery. I had a good sleep since then. Thank you thank you Amitofo
