mummies,
my office is having a HFMD outbreak. so far, four diagnosed cases and many many more MC cases. abt 800+ people in the building i think. 20 people have been quarantined (office told them not to come to work today and tomorrow). out of the four confirmed, two sit in my room. the most serious case started falling ill on saturday. i actually went bowling with her on that day. luckily didn't share food with her or bring kaizer along. they are going to do a mass disinfection for the building from tomorrow. sorta "spring cleaning" for the new year, hahaa.

anyway, my galfriend (who might be the original carrier) had all the textbook symptoms. fever, aching, poor appetite, sores on feet, blisters on hands and ulcers in mouth!
confinement food
I ordered tingkat for 2 weeks. IMO.. as i'm not a fussy eater so i'm quite ok with the standards.
anyway nothing special on tingkat except they add more ginger.
and their red dates tea quite yummy!!
but they send the food early like 4pm for dinner
S/w
oh dear.. first time hearing HFMD affecting office.
hope everything turn out ok!

glad that JK is adapting well in PG.
Belle no longer cry. there were few times she didn't say byebye to me & hb. she ran to the classroom happily. the teacher asked her to say byebye to us first.

D, not that i don't get to input but i very nice, never ask for it! 
keke... like i told u over our dinner last time, this time round, have to 'ask' for more things already. dh wanted to buy a osim massage chair for me last time round, i also 'rejected'.
i 'brought' up the confinement lady issue last night - never get a negative response so i think 'pending approval'. last time round, we moved over to stay with his mom but this time round, its not possible so... let's see...
if i remember correctly, dh also paid for my post natal massages.

For me, I dun wanta rely on parents or in-laws meh so no choice....long long ago do research to find gd CL but last min also kenna fly kite...but luckily, ended up with quite a good one...even extended her for another 2 weeks.
Yesterday, ran to Vivo Colette to buy a new pair of shoes for Malcolm...Poor boy! His toes keep getting abrasion from the shoes he's wearing (but he wore the same pair since 5months ago...) anyway, bought full leather, very comfy one...would try to go Tanjong pagar to see the shoes that u all were talking abt.

Augleo,
Take it as a break for yourself when JK "doesn't need" you. Mummies need me-times too, because it's a lifelong profession. If no break, sure burn out!
KSS/Augleo,
I did some search earlier in case I want to cater for confinement this time round. 4 weeks x 7 days x 2 meals cost $1350 - $1588 nowadays.

michelle,
he loves the shoes.
how come I no money to recover...maybe that's why never recover fully. hahaha
Cat,
colette sells full leather ah...the last time we bought from them, they told me it's not real leather...we bought anyway lah, since we needed one...but it's warm (for the feet). Now testing out the Geox to see if it's more cooling. Both HB and I have adult geox lah, I think my HB thinks it makes a difference. Mine Mary Jane-ish, so not warm to begin with!
michele,
I also very nice mah...till now still rejecting msg chair. haha. Anyway, HB thinks CL, msg lady etc essential for proper recovery...since didn't do last time round, next time round, must really take care. hehe.
Is your next child's name gonna start with "C"?
S/W
Oh dear! Hope you don't get it!
very sway for those who get during this period, cannot go visiting, cannot visit AND cannot makan!!
KSS,
so are you pregnant? Haha...should negotiate first haha.

mummies,
there are eight cases of HFMD in my office already. the disinfection people are coming in the evening, so i guess everything would be really clean after CNY.

michele, gene and all ...
share a piece of good news with you. i've missed my period for a couple of days. hope that beckons well. but to err on the side of caution, i'll prob not announce it to my extended family and colleagues till everything's confirmed. did a pregnancy test, but the control factor wasn't met. so the results on the kit showed +ve after 5 minutes, but -ve after an hour left standing.
