We had a busy morning. Firstly, hubby went to get his international license fixed and after that, we went to the hospital for my ear check up. I don’t feel pain anymore after a week of antibiotic and some nasal spread, but my right ear still can’t hear well. There’s still some pressure inside and the audio test showed that it’s not full recovered. The NET specialist doctor said it takes time to heal but I have to take some precaution since I’m flying next week. So, I better remember well what to do on the plane later.
Anyway, I was given some medicine again, but I won’t take it that much now. I really don’t want to depend much on painkiller for the fear of addiction and ended up in drug rehabilitation. 
But still, I better take some before the plane descending as that’s when the pressure changes a lot.
In short, don’t take flu easily as it might develop into an ear infection, and it’s painful!

I’m feeling better today and the pills help a lot. I am a bit skeptical when it comes to taking medicine, but since my ear infection is pretty bad, I can’ do without a dose of antibiotic. Anyway, after I’ve finished the medication, I might buy some health supplement which will be sent over to Bangkok.
I’ve heard about the benefit of kava, and if you are looking for a supplement that will help in reducing stress, maybe you should give it a try. I don’t think my life is stressful at all, or maybe it’s a different story later when we relocate? If it’s too hard to start all over again, then I really need some stress relieve pills. LOL! But judging from my preference, I will just go for shopping and do some yoga to destress myself. It works most of the time.

I went to see an nose, ear and throat specialist just now. I suspected that my flu has developed into a painful ear infection, so it’s best to see a specialist soon before it’s getting worse. True enough, my right ear is infected. And ai yea…I hate to see the inner parts of my ears and nose from the microscope!!! So disgusting!
But at least I am given some pill killers and knock-me-out pills that make me as drowsy as can be. I slept through the afternoon today and dreamed about shopping for LV, Gucci, Royal Oak offshore, Coach and Prada. LOL! Just kidding la…I really slept and in deep sleep for 2 hours. Hubby instructed the kids not to bother me and my maid was asked to stop them from coming upstairs. Wah, being sick is quite good too sometimes, if my ear is not that painful!
Talking about my ear, it better heals faster before my next flight to Bangkok. I don’t want to risk myself from having an ear bleed or bursting the ear drum. Gee…let’s see what’s the doctor say on my next appointment.

I’m having a terrible ear ache and headache now. I don’t know if it’s migraine but it’s irritating and I can’t concentrate much. My kids wanted my full attention just now, but luckily they listened to me and went to nap. No reading, no playing, no having fun with mommy. I just can’t do it. It feels like I finished all the bottles on the wine racks and having a severe hangover!!! I’m so not ME now.
I better go to the doctor soon. It’s too painful and I need some pills. Frankly, I hate to be sick. Sigh…

I’m sick now. I don’t feel like going for yoga this evening as I know my head will be spinning doing the poses. I caught a flu from my kids after they’ve recovered! I better get well soon before our next trip to Bangkok. I know what hubby is going to say about me skipping yoga class again. He thinks that I should get more exercise to speed up my recovery. Maybe I should just spend some time on the fitness equipment at home while watching the TV at night. That should be good enough.
Frankly, we hardly use the fitness equipment at home. I hope that we don’t have to move it over to Bangkok. It’s so bulky!

My friends asked me why I gained weight lately, have I been eating too much? LOL! Frankly, I started gaining weight some time in October once I slowed down in blogging. I haven’t stayed up a lot, and even if I do, it’s more like watching movies with hubby. Life is pretty relaxing when I don’t have to chase the money thrill which I was addicted to, but I know that I don’t really need to do so. Hubby is glad that I have finally realized that and I feel much better physically too.
I was really exhausted with blogging last time. Frankly, I was only hanging on with lots of coffee everyday and I looked dreadful. I lost weight too, and I was pretty forgetful. I couldn’t remember things well besides being breathless just by playing with the kids outside. I felt like I was not a perfect mother with my lack of energy. Sometimes, I had chest pain and I was wondering EDTA chelation therapy can rebuild my health!
Thus, once I got back to my old lifestyle, I began to have more rest. Those trips to Bangkok and KL were enjoyable too, and I enjoyed lots of good food. So, in the end, I gained 5kg. However, I’m trying to tone up my body. I don’t mind about the weight but I hate the flabby look. LOL!

I love going for spa and I try my best to for one at least once a month. If I’m on holiday, I will also check out the spa center and try to arrange a session there. Too bad I couldn’t try out the spa in Bali when we went for holiday, but next time, I will surely go for it.
When I move to Bangkok, I will try to search for the spa center that suits my taste. I wonder if I should just get a spa job and learn as much about it so that I can have my own spa at home? But honestly, I like to be pampered and enjoying myself. I’m so lazy huh?

I am so free now as I don’t have to help out with the reunion dinner, my kids are playing with hubby, so I’m glued to my laptop without any disturbance.
I was sorting out the photos taken for the past few days and I realized that Isabelle looks like me when I was a little girl.
Taken at Ji Lek Tong
I don’t have big eyes when I was younger, and my hair was really less. She has these characteristics just like me…Besides that, I have a photo taken just like this one shown below when I was about 4 years old. I was wearing a pink dress like her, standing at the door, just like what she did!
Taken days ago…
But I can only find the photo once I’m back to Penang, if my mum still keeps the albums well! Gee…it would be nice to see how similar we are.
So what do you think? We have the same smile or not? LOL! ( Not really hoh… :P)
Mommy and Isabelle

I met a lady today and it’s only now that I knew she has some illness. She’s under medication and she was not encouraged to get pregnant. Nonetheless she did and her boy is the same age as Isabelle. I admired her courage. She had to jab herself everyday during pregnancy and it’s not easy. She’s not having mesothelioma though, but I really don’t know what her illness called in English. They told me the Chinese name and being half banana, I really can’t understand what is it!
Her husband is asking her to get another baby. Gee…If it’s me, I really won’t give birth again. I have this fear of “what if I can’t be there for my kids?” Maybe I think too much, and coming from a family with breast cancer history, I have to take good care of myself.

I guess most of us are familiar with Capella University because most blogs write about it. It’s the only online university accredited by CACREP for two master’s degree specializations. If you are interested to know more about it, you can just hop over to http://www.capellacommons.com and check out the interviews about the students, lecturers and staffs to gain more insights about the online courses offered, such as masters in counseling, business, information technology, education and etc.
Personally, I’m too lazy to go back to study. I would prefer to learn more about how to make money or just act like a “tai tai” now. I have never been ambitious, and further study is not on my list anymore.
