The Last Episode of Sick Diary?!

Hopefully, this is the last episode of my daughters' sick diary. 

I was praying hard every day hoping that Baby Clarisse can be stronger and not fall sick. However, the intimacy between these sisters has inescapably passed the viral to Baby Clarisse. Two days ago, Baby Clarisse's temperature went up to 39.5 deg C. This had never happened to Clarisse for the past one year, and all the while I thought Clarisse is healthier and stronger, she has better resistance to fight against these viruses. 

My Panic Button was instantly turned on, and my emotion dropped to rock bottom. I was easily irritated and Papa & Mama ended up yelling at each other a lot. It was indeed a stressful week for both of us. I was reluctant to bring Baby Clarisse to Dr. Patrick/Dr. Adrian, because Dr. Adrian once told me if Baby Clarisse has fever more than 38 deg C, he has to put her on Tamiflu and Antibiotics. Of course, to cure the current sickness outweighs the side effects of these drugs. But, I can't bear to see Baby Clarisse go through the pain that Chloe just experienced days ago.

Papa & Mama had decided to seek for Dr. Loo's help instead, because I believe he will be the one who is going to tell me that my daughter is not infected with H1N1! True enough, Dr. Loo told me to calm down and it was nonsense to diagnose my baby as H1N1 just because Influenze A positive. It is possible to be Influenza A positive even if it's just common flu. 

Dr. Loo also prescribed Klacid (the same antibiotics as Chloe) and medicines for cough, flu & fever. Irregardless of how I resent the idea of suppository, Baby Clarisse was also given a suppository upon consultation. It is important to bring her temperature down first as per advised by Dr. Loo. 

The first day, Baby Clarisse's fever went up and down. I was not being stubborn nor I was afraid to stay in the Hospital. I wanted to try out an easier way for Baby Clarisse. Baby Clarisse's attitude stayed very positive and active throughout the day. The second day, her fever subsided, and her fever did not return for the day. Until late evening, her temperature went up again to 38 deg C, and it came down after 2.5ml of paracetamol. 

Today is the third day, I have told Papa to monitor closely. Now is 2.03pm, so far no fever! :( 

I am very tried and sad. Please....... let's end the story here! :''(

Poor Baby Clarisse

Due to the undesirable incidents, MaMa was forced to neglect Baby Clarisse for Total of more than 72 hours. I did went home to take a shower and packed clothing and food for Chloe daily, but the time that I reached was always co-incidently her sleeping hours too. I was only able to go home for a short period of time when PaPa or Grandma was available to stay in the hospital to take my shift. 

Anyway, I missed Clarisse heaps. MaMa was such a crying baby. Whenever I talked about Baby Clarisse in the hospital, MaMa just can't help to tear. Silly MaMa. What about when MaMa is away for holiday??? Cry also? I guess, the situation weaken my emotion further, that's why I sobbed easily. :P Lousy MaMa.

What makes everything worse was Novi was sick too!!! I was so terrified as Dr. Adrian told me Chloe was tested H1N1 positive. I didn't want to take any risk, but to send her to the Clinic immediately. Dr. Loo, General Practise (He is a good doctor and he is been around in the area for a good 20 years or so, we always look for him for any illness), refused to carry out the Influenza test because he said Novi did not have any symptom and there is no news on the epidermic. He said he can carry out the test and charge anyone if he wanted to, but he said definitely there will be a result showing Influenza A (many subtypes e.g. H1N1, H2N2 etc etc) positive in the public. So, he said I should just calm down and treat it as Viral Infection since there is no diarrhea, no pain, no cough, no vomiting, fever below 38 deg C. He showed me her throat which was obviously inflamed and he prescribed antibiotic and paracetamol to Novi.

I was instantly relief for a while. BUT her fever comes and forth even until this morning. I insisted to bring her to the clinic again, and weird enough, when I said that her fever disappeared. She told my mum's maids that her body was feeling weak! She has been sleeping for days in the room. Call me ruthless employer, I told her that she cannot sleep anymore. She has to move about and start on the easy chores like folding clothes and light ironing. The more she sleeps, the more dizzy and LAZY she would be. Of course, I told her not to take care of my babies. I don't want any chances to pass the infection to my babies again! She is a little stubborn on taking medicines and water. My mum has to actually gave her a look to make her take her medicines. We couldn't force her to drink water, but we had reiteratively advised her to consume more fluid. It is all up to her. Anyway, she shed some weights too, it is obvious that she was unwell. 

Back to Baby Clarisse. Poor Darling! She was sick since two weeks ago, and last night she had a little fever at about 38 deg C. MaMa gave her progesic and her fever came down after an hour. I am at work now, I called every 2 - 3 hourly to check on her, all the maids told me that she is fine. I hope they are accurate! 

Baby Clarisse was disturbed with her blocked nose two weeks ago, and no improvement has been seen even though Nasal Spray & Oxy-Spray have been given as per prescribed. I should send her to the Clinic again, I definitely do not want another episode (choy choy choy~~~!!!) of undesirable incident. 

Dear Babies, MaMa is coming home soon...


trauma continues....

I couldn't finish the previous blogs..it was such torturous moments and I couldn't continue. The toughest Part of being a MaMa is not the labour process but the process of witnessing my children going through undesirable pains. It is so me to start blaming myself for not being a good MaMa but at that point of time, my brain stopped functioning, emptied. It is also irrelevant to play the blaming game too. What I wanted was a solution for my baby. 

The test came out and we were horrified she was tested Influenza A positive. At once, Dr. Patrick told us that it was H1N1. We were speechless and burnt-out. How come? Again? She was tested ONCE with Influenza A positive (H1N1 - during the epidemic) when she was 7 months old. Why now again? I thought Chloe is supposed to immune to H1N1? Dr. Adrian immediately started with Tamiflu and Antibiotic (which I didn't notice what was it..) on Chloe. The Antibiotic did not seem to react to Chloe so well, because her temperature hits 41 deg C. Dr. Adrian and MaMa were both busy sponging my baby, while the fan was blowing strong towards Chloe. After 15 minutes, her body temperature came down a little and Dr. Adrian prescribed her another Antibiotic named Klacid and another one which I didn't notice what is it called which needed to injected to her body through IV. 

The blood test came out shown that she is infected with Microplasmal Pneumoniea. MaMa tried to google it online and try to find out more about it but as I said earlier on that my brain was totally out of function, and the whatever medical terms that described this bacteria type just couldn't registered into my brain properly. 

Baby Chloe was admitted to the hospital for 72 hours and she was a good girl as what Doctor and Nurses described, she was calmed and steady for her age. But the little devil came out when all the nurses and doctor were out of the room, she started to ask for heaps of TLC especially from PaPa. 


She was very occupied with various activities. The Ipad, of course, Colouring Book, Barney DVDs, Unlimited TV..... My good girl handled her left hand, which was heavily bandaged, so well. She was a little uneasy at first, but after 24 hours, she was already using both her both her hands to handle everything. 

The fever subsided completely on the 2nd day. No re-occurance. However, Dr. Adrian insisted we should stay for total of 72 hours for her treatment. 

"All parents will say YES to whatever Doctor tell them to do on the first day when their babies were very sick, and when babies recovered on the 2nd day, everyone starts to bargain with Doctor for discharge." Dr. Adrian said this when we asked if it was necessary to stay on for the 3rd day. Well, Papa and MaMa thought just comply to it since it was already a last 24hours that we need to stay in the hospital. For Chloe's health sake, I think we just have to comply to Doctor's recommendation.

Chloe was discharged yesterday and everyone who saw her told me that she lost a lot of weights. This is inevitable. Furthermore, her mouth ulcers were such a pain for her to even consume her milk. Luckily, Chloe is a greedy little fella. She was always easily tempted with food. So, I gave her various type of food every hourly, and everything was eaten only in a small portion like hard-boiled eggs, Papaya, biscuit, water, juices, porridge, macaroni etc etc etc. Better than nothing at all. 

Chloe has to continue her Tamiflu and Klacid Antibiotic until the end of the week. So, MaMa will not going to have any program after work including gym. I am going to head home early today and every day to check out my babies until they are completely well.

Weary of persistent virus battle......

The checklist routine stopped after the 2nd day. MaMa is not being lazy nor my babies' conditions have improved so much that they do not required any extra attentions.

The distressing fact was that Chloe lost in the virus battle and was admitted to the hospital on Saturday Morning. 


15th September 2011 - It was Papa's 34th Birthday. Chloe didn't attend school that day because Papa said he wanted Chloe to take a good rest at home. Everything was fine except for her minor cough and blocked noses. It was Papa's Birthday, so MaMa thought it shouldn't be an issue to bring Chloe to have dinner together with Papa & Mah Mah, so off we went to have a scrumptious dinner at Kampachi. This photo was taken after dinner at Pavillion. I could feel Chloe's body was a little hot, but both Papa & Mah Mah confirmed with MaMa that She is fine. Chloe requested MaMa to take a picture of her with the cartoon background, but her eyes were telling me she was a little lethargic. When MaMa arrived home, the first thing that I did was to check her temperature and it shown 38.5 deg C. I was totally perturbed by her fever because it could go up to 40 deg C again. Furthermore, this fever is been coming back and forth since beginning of the month. So far, no anti-biotic prescribed because Doctors said it was due to viral infection and try to bring down the temperature by Progesic or Voltaren suppository if the fever hits 39 deg C and above. 

MaMa was trying so hard, dying to get rid of the fever without the Voltaren but situation did not permit MaMa from using the Supp. No matter, how I tried to cool her down by sponging her or feeding her progesic, it just didn't bring down the fever totally. At least, the supp is able to keep her fever own for good 6 - 8hours all the times.

Unfortunately, it was not that case that night. MaMa fed Chloe with 5ml of Progesic at about 10pm. Her fever slightly came down to 37.9 deg C but it shot up to 39.5deg C at about 5.30am. Papa & Mama were lost and dead-worried, and we immediately applied the supp. It managed to reduced the heat a little, below 39 deg C and we sent Chloe back to sleeping, thinking that it will keep her fever away at least until the next LATE morning. But at about 8am, We were alarmed by her body heat again, it went up to 40 deg C. MaMa was panic, and knew that Chloe has to be admitted to the hospital for treatment because the SUPP is not WORKING on her fever anymore.

We rushed to the Dr. Patrick's Clinic in the morning and Dr. Patrick was on leave. MaMa was anxious, tired, exhausted, panic...whatever words that could described my state of feelings at that moments. Dr. Adrian was available and we didn't think of searching for other doctor as my daughter is at a critical situation. 

Dr. Adrian carried out a thorough test for Chloe - Influenza Test, Blood Test & X-ray. He said since July, her visits to the clinic was so regular and he wanted to check what was triggering all these attacks.


I do not know how to describe in words how painful is it for a Mother to see this and go through the process. It is still so painful when I trying blog this down. Can't help to tear silently while recalling that moments.

The medical officer was trying to put a needle through while all the nurses pressing her down to ensure that she would not move about. MaMa stayed next to Chloe and MaMa did not have the courage to view the process but placing my face against Chloe. Sobbing uncontrollably while my baby is crying so loud, told MaMa "Pain Pain! Pain Pain" MaMa totally lost control of my tears. 

"Darling, Mosquitoes Bite! MaMa "Paat" (smack)!" sobbing...

"Darling Baby. Don't worry. Mosquitoes Bites only. PaPa is coming to "Paat" these notti mosquitoes.." Sobbing still ... while my Baby is crying for Pain. 

MaMa was totall.......

My girls are sick again....

My girls have been sick since months ago...to be precise, since Chloe attended school. 

The viral infection started from Chloe with her sore throat and minor cough. We didn't take it seriously, thought that getting sick was inevitable since Chloe started schooling, naturally the probability of contact with various virus is higher. However, her cough persisted for 3 weeks and Mama felt something was not right. Her cough worsen especially in the night. So, Mama sent Chloe to Dr. Patrick Chan for a check. Fortunately, the lung was clear but Dr. Patrick told us that we must treat her cough to prevent her from developing into Asthma. Dr. Patrick told us that since I had Asthma history and Papa has sinus problem, it is a likelihood  for our children to develop the same kind of allergy too. No Antibiotic was prescribed, but Ventolin, Flixotide and Singular were prescribed to treat her cough and prevention of Asthma.

It was very effective, Chloe stopped coughing in the night after 4 days. Mama stopped the treatment immediately even though the plan was up to 7 days. Mama always has the concept not to feed them so much medication and hoping that their body can build immunity to fight against the virus. 

Unfortunately, she caught the viral conjunctivitis after the cough. The Conjunctivitis lasted for about 10 days. Papa was worried because her left eye was red and looking at her red eyes just made us heartache. Dr. Patrick prescribed Pantone Eye Drop and Fucithalmic  Eye Oilment. It didn't clear her eyes after 4 days and we started to worry because Papa read from the net that Conjunctivitis should only last 4 - 5 days. Anyway, we rushed to the eye specialist since Dr. Patrick also recommended us to visit the eye specialist if the red eyes did not subside. We went to Dr. Tan, the ophthalmologist, in the Prince Court Medical Centre on that saturday. Dr. Tan prescribed another eye drops and oilment (don't remember the name), and after 3 days. Her red eye was clear and no more discharge.

The conjunctivitis story did not stop there. Viral Conjunctivitis is infectious! Poor Darling Clarisse was also infected with conjunctivitis. It must be from Jie Jie Chloe, since they are very close to each other. They play together, they eat together, they sleep together, they even sometimes bom bom (bathe) together. I already instructed Novi not to put them together, but it is somehow unavoidable to have contact especially four of us sleep in the same room. Mama teared when I found out that Clarisse had sticky eyes like Chloe. I applied the same eye drops and oilments after consulted Dr. Tan during the follow up session. Thank god, Clarisse did not develop any redness in her eyes, just a little sticky in the morning and mild discharge on and off. 

Days after everyone back to healthy and normal stage, Chloe caught a viral infection again with an extremely high fever. I truly detest Chloe getting fever because her fever always hits 40 deg C and it worried me heaps!!!!!! The extremely high temperature is very dangerous, I have to be extra cautious and take extra care. I heard too much, and I want to try my best to protect my child. Dr. Patrick once confirmed with me that some children has the tendency to hit 40 deg C everything they get fever, and he assured me that it is ok. This will continue until their age of 8 (if I remembered correctly). However, we must take extra care and monitor the temperature and try to suppress the temperature from going up further. I hate inserting Voltaren through rectal, even though Doctors and Nurses assured me that it is not painful, I detest seeing how Chloe struggled when Papa tried to insert the Voltaren. We can never do it properly but the nurses and doctors could do it without Chloe noticing it. 


Mama and Papa spent our one week Raya Merdeka Holiday at home to take care of Chloe. 


Chloe recovered after three days, No antibiotic, just Progesic paracetamol. Augmentine Antibiotic was prescribed, but Dr. Patrick said we could use it later if the fever persisted after three days. Luckily, the fever subsided after three days. Good job, Chloe. Your body is slowly building immunity to fight against virus. 


Once again, Virus can be as contagious as love. The love between the two sisters transmitted the viral to my baby Clarisse. Clarrise caught fever after Chloe has recovered. However, Clarisse's fever was about 38 deg C - 39 deg C which is the normal fever temperature. Of Course, I was worried. Immediately I sent her to Dr. Ong, another pead, since Dr. Patrick was off on Sunday. 


Dr. Ong checked both Chloe and Clarisse. Why? What's wrong with Chloe? Chloe already recovered, right? YES, recovered from fever, but don't know why her cough is back and especially in the night which interrupted her from sleeping. 


Dr. Ong told us that Chloe is wheezing a little, and that we should take care of it to prevent from Asthma, as per advised earlier on. He told us to continue to continue the treatment with Ventolin and Flixotide for 2 weeks after she has stopped coughing. He also prescribed Mucoprom 3.5ml for Chloe if the cough is really bad. Dr. Ong said we can ommit the Mucoprom (cough syrup) but to enable her to sleep better in the night, we can feed her once in the night. 


As for Clarisse, apparently, she caught the virus from her Jie Jie Chloe. Her nose was blocked, right ear was infected and throat was a little red too. Dr. Ong prescribe Distaclor Antibiotic, Antamin for her cough, and Progesic Paracetamol for her fever. As per advised by Dr. Ong, we fed Clarisse with the Antibiotic for exactly 5 days. Fever subsided, but nose is still quite blocked, coughing still.


Up till yesterday, they were still coughing a little. What worse was that I found both girls' eyes were all watery and there were yellowish discharges continuously. I started to feel weary and down, what is going on. These continuously virus thingy has been around since months ago.....and my babies are still sick. 


This morning, we are back to Dr. Patrick again. I really like Dr. Patrick because he always made me feel "Nothing is wrong, just minor sickness! Don't Worry" but I really hate it when he asked me "how old is mei mei?" Why? Because I answered, "13 years" and he replied ,"Good! Not long More!" Ya..He is a mean Doctor!!!!! He agreed that he is not a pet person but still it is cruel to say that about my pet. Don't curse Mei Mei. Mei Mei is going to enjoy her longevity in her life. :) 


Anyway, Dr. Patrick's consultant assured me that my girls are fine. Just allergic from the haze and also it could be genetic allergy since Mama and Papa both has allergy problem (asthma and sinus). 


Prescription for Chloe :
Ventolin 2 puff /time/ 2 times/ day x 7 days
Flixotide 2 puffs/time/ 2 times/day x 14 days
Nasonex 2 spray/time/ 2 times/day x 7 days


Prescription for Clarisse :
Nasal Spray 4 time/day
Zyrtec 2.5ml once per day 7 days
Oxy-spray 2 sprays/time/ 2 times/day x 5 days
Singular X 2 weeks


My darling princesses.......please get well soon. Love you girls...Muaks

Sesame Buns & Meat Pau


I made this Pau last night for Papa & Chloe. Chloe rejected my Pau because the Base of the Pau was terribly Wet, and I am not sure why. Papa didn't eat the Meat Pau, He ate half of the Sesame Pau (because I forgot today is actually a Vegetarian Day) and told me that He is not a Pau Person. I ate 1 1/2 of the Sesame Pau and it tasted ABSOLUTELY fine, not fantastic! Just trying to figure out why this round the Pau Base is WET? Is it because I didn't put a Towel? Or...something else? Only the base is WET. I shouldn't have done everything all by myself then I will be able to analyze what went wrong. I told my maid to steam it for me. Still, She steamed the Pau as usual..What could be wrong?



Silly Me, trying so hard to please my husband's stomach. But husband said he is not a Pau guy. I am such a failure. Almost reaching the edge of giving up. I don't mind to eat all of them by myself because I really feel that they are not that BAD, they are infact reasonably nice compared to outside Pau. Hubby is not supportive at all. I read so many blogs and those blogger's husbands are all so supportive. Mine? Don't make! Just Buy! I am not a Pau Guy, I am not a cake guy, I am not a bread guy. I have not started cooking him any meals yet, I hope he won't tell me he doesn't take his meal. He only drinks Milk. :"( Can't help feeling despair sometimes. I really don't mind if he said they are not nice or they tasted bad, because I am prepared to achieve his standard even though it needs 100 attempts.


My Sesame Bun, it tasted Good. Soft and Fluffy even after one night. Just the crust is a little hard, I think I overbaked it. Also, I think I didn't roast the Black Sesame long enough, it didn't have the STRONG Sesame Fragrance that I anticipated.


Chloe and Clarisse love them. I think my maids don't mind eating them too. I had a few slice myself. My mum said it was Horrible. My husband refused to try. 

Arrrgghhh... I am still so far far far away from my final destination.

I miss Andrew so much now. He is the only supportive person in the whole family other than my girls. :P Hahaha.. He is always supportive by eating my cake/bread/Pau, and he would tell me to throw them in the garbage if it's really bad, and he would ask me to try again. If it's nice, he will eat it with his happy face and said, "OK, not bad!" or "Ah Ji, This is the best cheesecake!" Who doesn't like to be flattered by praises, and who doesn't feel despair when words of discouraging kept on coming while you are trying so hard. :"(

Well, Maybe I just didn't put enough effort to compensate my lack of talent! Kaka... NO! nobody is stopping me from my interest. It is time to try again and again, and I will be able to make good cake, good pau, good bread for my girls. :) Just don't make anything for Papa anymore. Whenever I want to make something, I just have to make sure my girls like it and it is healthy for them.

C&C's Swimming Time







Sweet Dough Buns again..


Sweet Dough Bun with Bacon and Cheese Fillings


Sausage Buns


Butter and Sugar Buns with Almond Flakes

This is my forth attempt for the Sweet Dough Buns, and also my fourth recipe tryout. So far, the first was a failure because it didn't taste good at all. The second was acceptable but it was the most popular one because the sausage buns were all gone the next day. I didn't like it so much because it has a taste of condense milk which I don't really like. Then, the third recipe which I made them into Sardine buns. It was not bad too, it didn't go the next day but they were all finished on the third day, and I was forced to throw away the last bun which was already rotten. I like the bun, it has condense milk but maybe because the strong sardine taste has overtakes the taste of condense milk. 

Yesterday, I found another recipe of Sweet Dough Bun and I was attempted to make a variety of buns so that they will be popular, and I won't have to throw a way any buns. I think this is not the case though. Hahaha...They are some Tuna buns left and Bacon & Cheese open buns which I added some mayo on it. Don't think it can be eaten tomorrow. Oh, I didn't post the photos because they don't look so appealing but they are the more popular than the others because of the mayo.

To be honest, out of this four attempts, I like this recipe most. It is not as soft and fluffy because I think I didn't achieve the elasticity that they were indicating in the recipe. The dough supposed to achieve an elasticity whereby I am suppose to be able to stretch them thinly without tearing them apart. Obviously, i didn't manage to make it happened even though I machine-knead and hand-knead for almost an hour. The dough is still sticky, and I couldn't resist to top up more flour to the wet dough. After an hour of kneading, I gave up and resolved with the NOT-SO-WET-BUT-STILL-STICKY dough. Hahaha... Anyway, this bun recipe taste better than the others, I just need to find a way to achieve the elasticity that all books ask for. So far, I didn't achieve any out of four attempts. :( My stand mixer just gets very hot after 10 minutes, and my dough also turns hot as the machine gets hotter. I didn't know what to do, and I took it out to hand knead them.. still.. not making it happen. Then, I put the dough back to the machine again and the dough became hot after 7 - 10 minutes...Is it because the machine is not heavy duty enough? Or my machine has already aged? 

It is ok. I will try again. :P

My bundle of joys

Before this long Merdeka Raya Holiday started, MaMa was having all sorts of ideas how to spend time with my princesses. Such as bring them out for swim, bring them to the park in the morning, make some nice and cute bentos for Chloe, organize a small gathering to ask hubby and my friends over for dinner etc etc... But tomorrow is the last day of holiday, other than simple baking, MaMa did not do any of those that I have just mentioned. *sigh* Because Chloe was sick since Sunday onwards. Out of no where, she had the worrisome high fever again. THIS IS THE DUNNO HOW MANY TIMES THAT SHE IS SICK SINCE SHE ATTENDED SCHOOL. Gosh.. If it is not cough, then conjunctivitis, viral fever or viral infection....arghh....Dr. Patrick said this is called the Nursery Syndrome. Chloe is generally weaker than other children, furthermore she is very picky on her food especially when I am not around. It means she is not taking in much of those nutritious food. Not much of meat, poultry or fish. Mainly Vege! *sigh* Not a balance diet. Since she was sick, we didn't give her much of cheese and yogurt because they are cold. Even fruits, now that I start thinking about it. What is wrong with me???!!! What have I been doing? How come I didn't watch out on my girls' nutrients intake. Argghh...This is not called nursery syndrome, THIS IS CALLED THE LAZY MAMA's Syndrome. I am going to the grocers tomorrow and buy more fruits and fish back for Chloe!!!

Anyway, Ya... She had this fever for more than 3 days. She had just recovered today, and a light feverish appeared after a park walk in the evening. Since it was just 38deg C, it didn't alarm me that much as compared to 40+ deg C. She was burning hot and she couldn't breathe properly due to her blocked nose. Of course, when our girls can't sleep well, do expect to see Panda PaPa and MaMa walking around the house again. Anyway, even though we did not do much during this Merdeka Raya Holiday, we had a close bond with our princesses. We played toys together. We sent them to sleep. We prepared milk for them. MaMa bathed them. MaMa did a little of reading but not much because we spent more time to comfort our big baby Chloe who was ill. 

We don't need anything and extravagant activities, what Papa and Mama need is to have our girls all by our side to spend some good quality time at home. MaMa considered it as a good holiday. :P My bundle of joys!


I didn't do this! Novi did this hair style. Chloe called Clarisse "ALIEN" upon seeing her new hairstyle. Haha.... It was not NICE but it was definitely cute enough to give us a happy laugh. Eeeeewwwww......My Cutie Pie. MaMa loves you so much. Muaks. Oh... Baby Clarisse likes to shout for "MaMa" "MaMa" "MaMa" and she was so persistent that I had to stop whatever that I was doing (even when I was having dinner) and go to her and talk to her. 


My Baby was playing with my iphone. She just loves taking photos of herself. :p 
*sigh* during this holiday, MaMa heard a lot of her crying, and they are not entertaining at all. She is always seeking for our full attention, and she wants us to be with her ALL THE TIME. I didn't punish her for her over-demanding cries simply because she was sick and it was heart-breaking enough for me to see my girl sick, how can I even punish her or even yell at her. :(
