It has been a really busy month with work as usual and stuff on the homefront. Work has been busy as usual and it has twarted my body clock as well. Cos I stay up for late night calls, I am now such a nocturnal creature. And on the home front, the little fella just  recovered from gastric flu. And like any other parent would say, it is the most tiring when little kids fall sick. And really most of the time, you are wishing that you are the one sick instead. He had it quite bad this time around and it took him a full week before he was finally OK. Anyway…all is well now and I can only pray that all will stay well especially since Christmas is round the corner. I do want to celebrate it this year since we gave last year’s a miss cos of the Pox.So fingers crossed…all will be well.

 Last evening, we went to this Korean restaurant in West Coast. Can’t remember what it is called…food was all right but what I liked was the play room for kids. It was a ‘ball room’, pretty much like the one at Ikea,just that it is shallow-er and more suitable for younger kids.And the little fella was so happy in there, throwing the balls, swimming in it etc etc. I was just thinking how nice it would be if we had a play room like that too. Am sure the little fella would love it to bits. Well…maybe when we shift to the bigger place, he could have a play/activity room. He enjoyed himself so much that he did not want to come out for dinner or to rest. Just wanted to play ‘a little while more’.

He is now learning to bargain with us. “A little while more”..”Last one”…” 5 mins more”.. Cute but also got to teach him his boundaries already!

I have always liked Christmas and always look forward to them. I was looking forward to this year’s cos it would be the first for M , first as in he would actually be able to socialise and enjoy himself. Have / had a lot of things lined up…lunch / dinner parties but then now everything is hanging in mid-air cos I dunno if Iz  will be well by then. Rightly he should cos by then it would be 10 days already but well…can’t tell for sure.

Hmm..always seem like the more u look forward to something, the more likely it is for plans to get deflated. And of course then greater the disappointment. But now I want nothing more than everyone to be healthy. I miss home…dun really like staying outside of home.I miss the air-con, i miss my bed, i miss Ch 55, I miss being able to laze around in front of the telly. And of course most of all, I miss Iz and Jeremiah. And am sure Iz misses M too…maybe even more than he misses me

Hmm…since Iz is homebound…guess I will not be getting my Christmas pressie this year. Sigh…and yet another disappointment. I love getting pressies cos I like seeing what kind of effort the giver has put in..

Please, please …let Iz get well soon and for M to stay healthy and be rid of all germs.
