Just waiting for the clock strike 11am then i'll go and fetch Yovela from Xaris. So far, she is showing a growing interest in going to preschool everyday. Not like the first half of the year, she skipped classes at least 2 days/week. Well, actually we made her skipped. First half of the year, we just want to introduce the preschool to her.
I try to encourage her by reading her story books about Sam & Anna's trip go to school using school bus. She loves the story so much she asked me to read it over and over again.
Oh ya, forgot to tell you, i have this habit of reading books before sleep since small. I read books when i was carrying Yovela. I solved difficult maths. I played sudoku. I hanged around in Harris for hours. All these in hope that my girl will naturally develop interest in books like i do. When she was born, her dad sang lullabies in Mandarin. We talk a lot to her, describing things around us when we travelled. In hope she won't fear of the unknown instead seeing things as beautiful and interesting!
3 months old, i read simple ABC & 123 books for her everyday and night before sleep. At 9 months, she would crawled passed all her toys and grabbed her book and flipped through the pages. Those colourful pages must have caught her attention. Sometimes, i noticed she would stared at a page and touching it and smell it and eventually licked it! That time i know she was learning to use her senses to help her brain to understand the thing in front of her. Seeing these milestones is like the highest achievements a mother ever get. The feeling inside just heavenly bliss!

Girl is having FEVER

8/6/2010 Girl caught a slight fever this morning. She woke up and almost immediately vomit and continue to vomit while taking morning milk. Her temperature ran up to 37.6C. Went to Dr Yeoh but her clinic closed until 10th. Same as the children specialist in the same row. So me & her dad rush to Johor Jaya, another children specialist. Same~maybe the off for some kind of medical conference or something.

We turn back to People's Clinic in Masai, luckily it is operating. Never been here but the doctor is very friendly and chatty. Girl was diagnosed with slight fever (phew!)...common for small children to have them anytime and can last for a day or two. Just need to monitor her activity from time to time. No improvement after 2 days, she will need to come back for antibiotic perscription. I hope she don't have to.
