Ying and Niq’s Niche

I am writing this post as I sit on a see-saw outside Gabriel’s kindy. Watching him play happily with his friends, a feeling of sadness came upon me. I grew a certain fondness after two years. Will he miss his friends and teachers? He will probably not. But then again I am underestimating his emotional quotient. He tends to be quite emotional at times. Will he feel sad and confused? I hope and pray that he adapts well in his new kindy. The more confused one would probably be me. It was a difficult decision to make but we thought it was better for Gabriel.

Sun, 19-Apr-09. Went to Ocean Green Seafood (GPS Coordinates: N5 25.576 E100 19.568) for lunch. This place was quite difficult to find. It is situated by the sea side, at the end of an alley along Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, just before Despark Auto College. It is easy to miss the turn so go slow. We had oyster noodle, salted egg crabs and stir fried broccoli. The food was nice. Their salted egg crab is one of their signature dishes

There is a nice view of the sea.

The beach is a popular spot among anglers and offer good landscape photography opportunities. Sad to say the beach is not suitable for picnic as there were lots of ants.

Here is a photo of a picture frame. The photo in the frame is of Mom and Dad in New Zealand near Milford Sound. But if you look at the picture frame, you could see a family of musical bears. There is one blowing a horn, one with a violin, another playing a cello, a drummer and one singing. Yes, the one singing is at the bottom left corner. Mom was describing to Gabriel what each bear was doing. But coming to the bear who was singing, Gabriel exclaimed in disagreement, “No! She’s not singing! She’s yawning!”. Yah, I tend to agree with Gabriel, she looks more like she’s yawning!

Gabriel was down with flu, cough and fever the whole week from 7-Sep to 12-Sep. Had to SOS mom to help nurse Gabriel during the weekdays. Brought Gabriel to see Dr. Chan on 8-Sep. Gabriel was put on Augmentin, paracetamol, mucosolvan, ventolin and polaramine. His body temperature was up and down between 37.5ºC and 39.0ºC, even with antibiotics. Clearly it was a viral infection. He had difficulty breathing lying down, and had productive cough. We reduced his milk intake, and gave him less solids. Gave him more clear soup and fruit juices. Mom even resorted to traditional treatment – rubbing body and forehead with flour solution and rubbing his back with a hard-boiled egg (de-shelled and with coin inserted). His temperature stabilized on Thursday night 11-Sep. Certified him fit to travel back to Ipoh. Many thanks to Mom & Dad for your help!
