Luffy being warded :(

Three weeks after hubby went through his tonsil removal surgery, my little Luffy was admitted to hospital. He was having a fever on Friday, and check-up with our favorite paediatrician Dr Lim, shows no serious symptoms. However, doctor request us to monitor his condition. If it get worsen or the fever still continue for few days to come, quickly take him to see him again.During those time, there were so many diseases widespread announced on the news. Me and hubby were pretty worried about that since Luffy was put in the nursery care. We were afraid our dear boy was contracted with some diseases at nursery.

11 May was a replacement holiday for Wesak Day. So hubby and I got Monday off. We went back to my hometown after see that Luffy condition getting better. Unfortunately, I fall sick due to fever when we were at my hometown. On Sunday, Luffy's temperature getting high..urgh... he still got fever. We went to the Most famous clinic prescribed by my mum "Klinik Kana". The way my mum tell us about this doctor as he is the BEST doctor on earth..Hahaha... We went there, and it is very true, he's a good doctor and I'm very comfortable with him. I think he is one of the good doctor I've ever met. He even gave me one day sick Off.

So I got day off on Tuesday. Luffy body was quite hot, so I took him to see paed Dr. Lim. He suggested Luffy to get admitted to monitor his condition since the fever is on and off. This is the BEST for Luffy and I agreed to it. So there I were, spending a few days in hospital with my angel. He admitted on Tuesday and discharge on Saturday. Results from the blood test shows that Luffy hemoglobin level is quite low. This is why his body will take some time to recover from illnesses. Poor my little boy :(

"I took very long time to finish up this entry :( thats why I cut short the story on how Luffy was in hospital. Here are some photos"

Jerebu

Nak tau betapa teruk nyer jerebu yang melanda Penang baru-baru nie. Nah, lihat lah gambar sebelum dan selepas jerebu yang aku ambil dari apartment aku..




Cantikkan??? Langit yang cerah dan laut yang biru. Memang sedap dan damai mata memandang. Tengok gambar kat bawah nie pulak bila time jerebu.. Jambatan pulau pinang pun hilang dari pandangan. Time di ambil masa tengahari ni..

Satay Bota

If Satay Kajang is famous in Selangor area, at my hometown definitely Satay Bota is very well known to the local. My hometown is in Pantai Remis. Bota is around 45 minutes drive from my place. It's a mid-way between Lumut to Ipoh, so if my family travelling this route, we'll certainly will buy this satay. It taste good, cheap and worthy to buy. It cost 30cent per stick and the meat is quite thick. These days, if you go to other satay stall, most of them sell at 40/50 cents per stick and the meat is thin. I'm really satisfied with this satay.

It opens on Thursday to Sunday from 5 pm until 9 pm. Everytime I went there to buy, I have to queue to get my turn. The worst was during festival where people make order few hundreds and even thousands. But they manage it quite well. So if you ever got chance to travel from Ipoh to Lumut, dont forget to drop by and taste the Satay Bota :)..

Busy with Work.

Alhamdulilah, I am still alive to update my blog :). It's not that I've been lazy or what lately, but my work load tremendously increased at this point of time. Juggling with responsibility of being a good engineer and a lovely mum+wife made me having not much luxury time of my own.

I need a vacation?? Yes I do..I'm planning for a moderate travelling very soon and I hope nothing come in a way...Earlier two trips were cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances...Ok, if anything goes well, wait for my update on the trip :)
