Kindy, Stress, Illness

Kindy was a stressful start to the year. Stressful for me! No surprise for anyone reading this really but thank God, Kayrin now loves kindy..or Tadika Prima Ceria, to be exact. Gosh. What a relief. What happiness. For me. Sleep come easy. I can taste food again.
And that stress prior to that must have been my downfall. I came down with my twice-a-year upper respiratory tract infection. In simpler words, a sore throat that turned into incessant cough that turned into hacking cough and chest pain that keep me awake and made me more ill than ever.
The silver lining was the weight loss. I didn't weigh myself. But I got back into my B70 brassieres instead of hunting around for B75 or C70 ones. That's how I know I've lost a kilo or two.

Flu and Baby

Have left this site untouched for a while because, I've been busy. Mmm, busy trying to make baby! I've been dreading this bonking schedule that comes with my taking the first round (and I pray my only round) of Clomid (clomisphene citrate), afraid that it'd get too tedious for both SF and I. But surprisingly, we've been having fun! I have been anxious but there you go, something to look forward to every alternate day, as ordered by the doctors. Muahahaha.
And the flu bit. Yea, I caught Kayrin's flu. So I've been down with a bad throat and we've had to cancel our planned trip to Penang. Poor SF had to be brewing soup and steaming fish to feed Kayrin and I while we coughed our lungs out. And that's right after his working trip home from Jakarta. Prior to his travelling, I had warned and warned him not to fall ill. And guess who did.

Happier New Year


Well, it's a new year all right. Happy? I am and I'm glad that I'm happy. This year, Kayrin starts kindy for real. She's had two false starts..last year, when she was not-yet-four, we sent her to Krista across the road. It lasted for all but a few days. And it cost daddy more than 500 ringgit.
In 2004, I signed her up for Siglap CC's nursery classes. That lasted for just about a week too. Wasn't too expensive but can't recall how much now. Then later that year, we sent her to Gymboree at Siglap, for Saturday morning. That ended with her crying throughout. Now I know why I'm anxious and nervous about this school term! I'm off tomorrow and day after to take her to school. Pray that I make it through this all right!
Another reason to be happy is that SF and I are going through a tough time, health-related, but we seem to be sticking with each other so far. That at least comforts me. Having your partner stay by you through tough times is one of the best presents in this life.
May this year be a happier one than it's ever been for you, me and everyone else on earth.
