pangs of raya

pangs of raya

its my first raya. they are excited. i am gonna be all dressed up. ummie said i will be a hot babe..

i am a hot babe all right.. hot at 39.5 degress celcius! ! !

.

at start of the day. they wanted to shelve all raya plans to head down to KKH. but i cool down to normal. by the second home i heated up again. we were calling up for the nearest Raffles medical or just go to Raffles Hospital. we end up at my boo's family clinic...

.

we head down to the 43rd house. sorry 3rd house. i was drugged by then. everything whizz by. so many colourful ppl. so much good smell. but i couldnt drink, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep...

i was a zombie...

.

they squeezed in one more house and ended the day after maghrib. letting me sleep. my grandpa even bought me those forehead stickers. i shall rest and look forward to a better day tommorrow.....

.

Selamat Hari Raya....Maaf Zahir dan Batin...

.
and oh... Happy Birthday abah...

its the last weekend of ramadhan. a crucial time for all households.

washing, scrubing, cleaning, changing sheets, changing curtains, moping....

whoof.. that's a whole lot of things to do.. this time the waiting game seems never ending to me..
.
but ummie is missing somewhat.. she's gone to work since yesterday.. saying something like earnin OT to cover the expenses...

.
money, i may never understand. but one things for sure. money = time and time away from my ummie or parents is no fun.. so i dont like money...
.
but i heard in Hari Raya there is plenty of money to go around. it comes in packets.. neat.. but what can i do wit it. it doesnt make good teethers!...
.
anyway.. i feel for my parents working their butts off at work and now at home!... so i decided to get them some help...
.

ummie, abah meet Sista mary...

who says one cant be sexy doin housework..

whacked

whacked

ummie's whacked with work & S/P/R/I/N/G//C/L/E/A/N/I/N/G...

above all her priority is to savour the month of ramadhan with ibadah...

.

but she will always make some time for me~ and shopping.. yeah..

.

she wears out easily now. must be due to all that walking and fasting of course. so she cheated....

here i am withbeautiful sista Allie. all bukled up in a McLaren..

with no insurance coverage!...

.

then i found out where she got it from. coz my bak tok did the very same thing in a shopping cart! how un-Cool....

downgrade

downgrade

i've been downgraded to the back seat...

what it used to be...

i'm always in the left front seat. facing the back. full view of the driver. with ummie sticking out her head between the seats to humour me. looking out the window to big cars. mostly SUVs, busses, or trucks...

.

now..

i'm in the back seat sometimes right, sometime left. facing the front. with a backside view of the driver and everything around me. they have to wait for the red light to crane their necks to bug me. looking out the window is no fun either. no more gold digging disgusting apeks. it's very lonely...

hapi burfday to my nanny...

so sorry we could not be together for your special day. we think of you and miss you just the same... muuahh..

if it's any consolation, we did meet up last Saturday. it was a nice family feast. although you and boo came late. we were all toghether. it has been a while...

.

i so love boo's throne. its gorgeous, comfy and safe. i was happy seating in it while ummie manage to pray with the family. no fuss. i was happy on the throne looking on to them. of course halaNur was my company and always up to mischief..

.

she tried to make me crawl. she dont understand how a kid could learn to walk without crawling first. it is possible. just like my boo who simply moves by shifting her toosh. next thing you know she was walking. of course pushing carton boxes in the new house help her a lot. i am still waiting for my stride-to-ride. anyway amiHafiz and halaNur enticed me with their handphone to make me move. haha.. it got them nowhere. they actually tried bending my legs in weird positions. naturally i cried..

.

so to comfort me and throw in some family bonding. we had a game of scrabbles. yeah.. them tiles are handy teethers they are...

i spoke too soon.

just yesterday baba cooked for me porridge with fish.

then there was papaya for desert.

whoa... not bad ok.. i may learn to like it..

.

ummie with her new adrenalin rush... got home and made me some spinach puree. she gave me 2 spoonfuls just to see my reaction. i swallowed it just the same...

.

she called just now asking whats on the menu for today...

.

baba said the ingredients are

the ground rice

which is actually brown rice but ummie simply played dumb,

some fish

ikan kurau,

2 spoonful of spinach puree

ummie was hoping she would use the whole serving

and some salt..

.

SALT!.. ummie explained that salt is not necessary and she also encouraged her to finsh the serving of spinach. apparently grandpa also agreed that kids dont need salt. ummie just handed baba some printouts about weaning for reading. but ummie knows that there is no one else she would entrust but my loving baba to make me healthy, happy and smart..

.

enough of squabbles.. its past my lunch time already...

waiting game

waiting game

on ummie's first day off. we will play the waiting game...

I will wait for ummie to get up.

I will wait for ummie to freshen up.

I will wait for ummie to do the laundry.

I will wait for ummie to zoom zoom zoom around the house with a black snake like monster...

here's how the game goes...

I will pull the mobile and bumpers in my crib while waiting for her to get up.

I will bite the hanger and belt on her bed while she freshen up.

I will watch the dryer go round and round when she does the smelly laundry.

if you ask me. i like the zoom zoom zoom the best as

I will get to watch baby einstein while she snake her way around the house...

.

aaah... today ummie did more..

she made pumpkin puree for me.. noice...

i waved my hands with delight when its feeding time. i kept asking for more. she finally made use of those cube trays she bought long time back. being scarred by my fussy appetite. she thought fruits would fair better than spinach or fish. i still have not had porridge yet. never mind ummie, those can wait. meanwhile i can have more pumpkin. maybe corn or carrots or peas... hmmm yummy!

healthy food is not so bad huh.... hehe...

.

btw the score is 1:0 in my favour. coz i earned tasty treats while ummie still have to fold the laundry, clean the windows, wipe the mirrors, clean the toilets, wash the curtrains...etc..etc..

visitors

visitors
visitors came knocking one evening. maybe its hari raya already. i was asleep then. soon i was disturbed by the chatters of two men in my room! i started to create a fuss. only to find out it was abah and a fellow friend. soon ummie came in the room with a baby in her arms.. gah! what a nightmare. soon she returned alone to comfort me. then she took me out of the room to meet Nadya...

Hi Nadya,

i'm sorry i wasnt a good host. i mean any sleepy host would fair rather badly. I am also sorry we did not succeed to persuade your daddy to buy you toys. You can always come over and play mine. i got plenty and it's no fun playing alone anyway. but next time do come earlier. when you left ummie had to put up wit my tantrum. it was nice having a friend over. do come again...

baby bites

baby bites
recently ummie intruduced me to biscuits ~yummy!...
its a trial and error mission. buying different brands each time. to find out which suits me well. actually which suits ummie really. she will not feed me great tasting or sweet ones! grrr!!....
.
biscuits that is a waste of time
HEINZ TEETHING RUSKS
...hard tags. ummie said it's like those 'dog biscuits' NS men get in their ration packs. back then of course. even ummie could not bite thru. it really is great for teething. great grip, tasteless and really tough..
.
biscuits that tastes great
MANNA BABY BISCUITS
...sedaaap. but its too small for me hands. theres no grip. it crumbles in my hands. so they mash with milk for breakfast or teatime...
BABY RUSKS 'malaysion brand' orange flavoured
...not sweet. midsized. ideal for milk or on its own...
.
biscuits for anytime anywhere
BABY BITES rice rusks
...big pieces for great grip. they have original or vegetable flavoured ones. bland but tasty enuff. much like WANG WANG. wait it is their product. minus side is.. it is tough to clean. having the 'kanji' effect. ummie got to scrub my hands, face and sometimes feet..
.
with all this trial and error. its taking up too much space. hey that's not my concern!i am a fussy eater. so ummie had to depend on proccessed food for a while. she bought different flavours. so i have varieties on my menu. it's a plus as compared to finishing a whole pot of porridge over a few days. but i'm running out of luck. ummie is cooking something for me today. if its healthy its bound to be tasteless. i'm afraid ummie may get disappointed again..
ok ok i'll give it a shot...

get down

get down

get down and move it all around...

that's exactly what she didn't do ~move it all around.

in my mission to make missy more agile and independent. we all floored for her. then i realised it's 2 defferent mission altogether...

.

we all need to change or whatever the moment we reach home. but we cant leave her in one corner, at least not without her whining. my missy is so manja. okay so we take turns. he would play with her first then its my take. i really dont know how to cultivate inedependance. i will sit with her but wont really attend to her.. any difference?

.

mission2 is to get her moving. my dear missy is able to sit on her own now. but that's it. just sit. she cannot move from sitting to allfours or vice versa. i will entice her with toys. she will outstreach her arms then topple. and cry~ i propped her up again. this time she got smarter. she will strech her arms within her capability ensuring she wont fall. so SHE DOESNT MOVE.. she simply sit there and tap tap tap her hands. stretch hands for toy. cannot reach. tap tap tap. repeat! lastly whine~

.

i really hope she dont take too long... i am trying i hope her other home understand me too.. btw she doing okay with the walker. made her way to the kitchen all...

remote control me

remote control me

~never...

we babies are anything but in control. we are full of surprises. even the norm routine would go hay wire... the very reason why ummie has been posting less. she lost her sleep over me and sahur!

.

the syiokness of the 'buai' has gotten the best of me. now i literally sleep on ummie's chest during the day. oh the warmth and comfort.. much better than the buai i would say. so i have been asking for it during the night too...

.

i am one who sleeps on my own at night. they would pretty much do their own thing after playing with me. that would be around 2230hrs. my bedtime could not be any earlier coz ummie fetches me at 2000hrs. after play and getting ready for bed, it would be late enough..

so since ramadhan, i have been trying to get her to rock me to bed. to no avail...

.

one night i cried so hard. she simply let me be and kept on yakking away on her blog! i was howling and growling for her for half an hour when abah woke up to try to hush me. the sleepy abah couldnt do much. i took my wailing up a notch. now they are both by my side but the wouldnt carry me.. pfft.. with 45mins of growling i got sick and threw up. that got them going alright. they cleaned me and put on a brand new pjs for me. noice...

.

it's past midninght now and this is me 10 mins later...

{link}

kheherhee... who would have known the drama mama i was just prior to that clip. after all the excitement i actually took a poo.. hehe... the changing mat was still warm i tell ya..

.

so wat does a tired ummie do with an excited missy way off her bedtime.. she let me watch tv. she pass me the remote. gah.. i do have the power.. there i was trying to absorb the greatness of the very thing they always refrain me from THE REMOTE CONTROL...

now what do i do really. the tv is talking too much. i could not find the Mtv button the boys claim to be a great watch.. haiz.. what else would an eight months baby do.. slob it in me mouth... bleagh.. whoa this thing taste bad.. this is no fun.. wweeek!~

.
ummie shove a bottle of milk down my throat and off i went to ZzzZz land...

bitten

bitten
look what they discovered on me yesterday..
its right by the 'cheeks' of my armpit..
i dont remember what hit me either..ummie just gave me a massage the day before.
she never noticed anything amiss.
she started massaging me when i'm 6mths!
it's bcoz of my hysterical crying during amd after bath.
now that i'm better after baths she gave it a shot.
she never thought massages can be given at any other time of the day... duh..
she notice i'm rather plump now.
but was disappointed to know i lost weight instead of gaining some.
maybe she can give those ang moh creams a try instead of minyak Lam...
.
back to my injury..
it is stragically placed where adults thumbs would be when they lift me..
but they dont sport long fingernails,
and i swear my ummie never pinched me,
or any other wrong doings or thoughts...
it seems friction is the likely cause....
she spread some minyak bubut and inspect for any other abnormalities.
i'm ok.. no sweat...
but the question remains... who bit me??

ummie dont even remember my burfday. she had a ticker to remind her. duh.. she is just plain lousy with dates...
.
so how did ummie celebrate my special day?
with my VACCINATION!!!
my ummie is a sadist. god have mercy on me...
.
i have been playing up my flu to postpone my vac everytime the date approaches. i got cough, running nose and flame phlegm going for me. i got my drugs back to my schedule. but this time she got me. as long as there is no fever the vac goes on. it's waaay overdue. haiz.. all my hard work at getting sick.
its my third jab. then the doc said the next one would be after my 1st birthday! hurray...
.
they are cluless as to why i got sick frequently.. heehee.. they suspect the cat. i may have allergies. but ummie was down with flu again. she got herself excused from work this whole week! so they concluded i am just too sensitive. weak antibodies? well only i know why. now that i know the next jab will be next year. i guess no more doctors then. at least not on purpose. heh...
.
physical check shows i am too light. my weight has been steady since i was six month old!. it may be a cause for concern. if i dont buck up in 2 months time i gotta see the specialist. may be due to some slack in 'em growing hormones. i like that word specialist.. it means i'm special...
.
so ummie got all kanchong and prepared me some potato puree. my very First dinner. she placed me in a different throne. it's grandier and higher than the previous one. i look like a mouse in it..
so in goes the first spoonful of potato and milk puree. my face went all funny and twisted. i never open my mouth for the 2nd serving. it tastes bleagh.. then i got all sick and threw up... a lot..
ummie never give up. she cleaned me up with new clothes and diapers all. placed me in the throne again. this time is she doused the mixture with cereal. yes.. that's more like it. it's not great tasting but it'll do...
.
then abah came home. he is very sympathtic not like ummie. he will ask me 'was it painful' 'where did it hurt' 'brave girl'... awww... my abah.
then out of the blue he mock me. ummie told him bout my featherweight issue. he started to call me names... 'BONCIT UNDERWEIGHT' 'oncit underweight eh?'.... pfft.. thanx abah...
.
what a day...

high chair

dine in
ummie got smarter thanx to our ToddlerGiantAjab. she scrubbed the hand-me-down high chair clean. propped it nicely in place for me. then she remembered i had portable one too. it was my newborn gift. thank you bakDing and nannyOgy.
.
over at baba's place. the time is near for them to 'berbuka puasa'. i will hear the azan and they will scramble for seats at the dining table. ummie and abah struggle a bit to place me in my throne.
.
the gorgeous colours is enough to excite me. i get to face everyone. i get to see what they eat. i get to smell the food. it was great...
.
i went TAP TAP TAP on the counter. they look at me in amusement. then ummie pass me some toys. the toys went BANG BANG BANG on the counter. soon it went CRASH BOOM CLANG on the floor. the best part is; they would help me pick it up. so the cycle continues... very soon they dont find it amusing anymore... heh...
.
at least now everyone's smiling come feeding time...

my high chair debut...

hear ye hear ye

didnt i tell you i play the sexaphone?

i was shy initially. but hey... what can i say... ~i'm a natural...

i can play a few tunes too. it's all a jazzy remix mind you....

heh ngantuk..

coz its no fun playing alone. i wanna be in a band!...

walker

to walk(er) or not to walk(er)

my baby never touch the floor at my in laws place!!! the reason is the black cat. its too dirty for her to be on the floor. plus she may be attacked by the feline! another reason is that my MIL cannot sit on the floor. she got two bad knees... another reason again would be my FIL is not comfortable with kids. so he will do all things possible not to make her cry. he would literally 'junjung' my missy. he would carry her all the time whenver my MIL is busy. this excludes the fact that missy is still sleeping in the 'buai' there!

.

so how do i help my baby work her motor skills....

i told them that she has to learn. she cant even sit without assistance. so 2 weeks back i insisted they let her toss and turn for 1-2hrs every day...

then i will inspire my MIL in the morning. i would tell her to see missy's reaction when we place her toys away from her. see how she would struggle for the toy. then MIL will tell me stories of how missy will whine for help but she did the right thing and let her be. so i have to find creative ways to get feedback. also to know if they did let her practise.

.

they know i dont believe in walkers. so they cancelled their intention of buying her one. but they cannot say No to a hand me down. i showed my dislike the first time i saw it... but i have to admit it's better to be in the walker rather than being carried all the time!

.

one day i got curious so i placed her in it...

ha!.. she do not know how to work them legs still. but her hands are smart enough to strech and grab for her toys. it is really funny seeing her streching her arms under the walker to pick a fallen toy. at least i know her hands department is doin fine. i got to work on those legs...

.

now He figures its good to have that contraption at home too. missy is difficult during our mealtimes. she hates to be left alone on the floor. we placed her on her playmat with toys strewn all over in all directions. overhead and underhead.. hehe.. but she will create a big fuss. so i end up carrying her in one arm and eat with the other! or maybe the stubborn parents have to give up dining together!!

.

aaahhh.. whatever it is.. seeing her hands waving with her mouth yapping away... she seemed so contented and happy in that walker that day.. she was talking and laughing so much... with a face like that i forget all my troubles..

slowly i will sail thru one day at a time...

the familia meet up again. this time at MasjidMydin and they call it 'tahlil arwah'. its for my late great grandpa. he used to be someone important there...

the masjid was ummie's playground then. she had sneaked into every corner and tower possible. but now that its a brand new building she is just as lost as i am. ppl there do recognize her and look at me with wonder...

.

so the cuzzies meet up again. they turn up in pink... even they guys! noice...

this time i made sure ummie tutup my aurat too.. but all was too busy to take me photo.. chet..

.

sistaA was showing off her strut. yes... she's crawling now. crawling all over me and grabbing all my toys. even the binky in my mouth!

ummie was disappointed that i cant even sit right. plus i will cry when i start to topple to my sides. heh.. she was hoping that i will buck up due to peer pressure. it worked the last time...

no promises ummie. but i do know you'll be there to guide me...

strooller poopper

•

strooller poopper
since Aniq had CintaQ lately. i searched for my strooller in the store. still wrapped in plastic. i last use it when missy was 3 months old. i switched to carrier coz it is easier. also because missy is such a whiny/clingy baby. now that she is behaving much better. i thought i will be a good day to tryout the strooller again...
.
we are going public today. we have the 'convenience' of the LRT that will connect us to town with easy access for stroller. upon arrival at DhobyGhout interchange that's when the headache starts. seeing the crowd in the train. i was beginning to regret. patience i say...
.
from LuckyPlaza to Forum.. with a non-working escalator in the tunnel how? we have tried other routes too. most escalators not running...
we hang around at Tangs instead. it was a blessing as it started to rain soon after...
.
i smell foul as missy woke from her nap. no worries. Tangs got great nursing changing rooms. as i lifted missy i felt her back was wet. it could be her perspiration i thought. as i pull her drawers, now thats too wet to be perspiration. at the diaper region?! i inspected her strooller. i lined it with those head cushions and it extends till her bottom. now that is wet but it does not smell! what is it?

.

•this is not the first time i encounter this mishap. when she's been laying there say one hour or so. i will find her wet. could it be her diaper leaking? or the strooller got bad ventilation. but the cotton cushion should be able to absorb. i dont get it?

.

back to missy now who is crying out loud for my attention. her diapers seem flatten and her poo all spread out. maybe her weight flatten her diapers thus her pee simply flowed out by her back?? i had to change her clothes too. i changed her pronto and calm her down. .

maybe i will try a better brand like mamypoko, the next time i use the stroller? or change her every 2hrs? or is it due to combi strollers? you tell me...

.
then we encountered the same hurdles when we were heading home. the escalator that was working before decides to fail us. i was ready to carry the strooller poopper down the flight of escalator. when my mom urge me to try another route again. that's when a taxi driver saw my waving hands at Marriot. aah salvation...
.
that strooller poopper will be in the store again.. since i am blessed with a featherweight missy, a carrier will do me just fine...

ojolali

those who miss indonesian foods should try this place. it tastes just like ayam bakar kalasan over in batam....

.

recently there was an invasion of ayam penyet in the local hawkers. ever since AyamPenyetRia open its franchise here-JooChiat & LuckyPlaza. i tried one at Eunos MRT hawker. they offered daun salad, timun, cheery tomatoes and kacang botok! i was impressed at the healthy malay salad...

.

then another restorant called Surabaya also sprung up in LuckyPlaza. Over at the top floor there is another food court. One particular shop at the corner also sells indonesian wares. with names in the menu you cant comprehend like ketoprak. which happens to be gado-gado to me. the food there is also ok..

but AyamBakarOjolali beats them all. Great indonesian wares with a touch of a malay cook who used to be a hotel chef. Superb da dei... first of all this is ayam bakar. that is one big difference. panggang definitely taste better. we've tried ayamBakarOjolali, ikanBakarLele,gadoGado,rawon,mieBakso... oooh enak yi jeng..... then there were the drinks. they have the tradisional EsPokat. try EsOjolali. its a cocktail with syrup, coconut juice with flesh and 'biji serasih'.. very refreshing. its a hype up version of your fresh coconut juice!..

its worth to spent your last 5bucks there. No GST. No Service Charge. what are you waiing for.. its on the third floor. deep right corner of LuckyPlaza..

sedaaap...

lagi lagi in the company of my mom and babies.. missy and pinky... oh how i miss her...she's now known as boo to missy. but she's my lil pinky.. thus she's a pinkyboo now... lol...

go to play....tidorlah!

she left me alone again. she left me for the darn PC. she is trying out video editing for the first time. something went wrong. now all the video files have no audio.... lol.. leave me alone some more lah. i went about tossing and turning. while she venge out her frustrations with abah. he has been away mostly.. to a place call IMF. its either there or he is sleeping his butt off in the room...

.

i too am fighting the Zzz monster now. spent the afternoon playing with ummie. dancing and laughing. she learned from that new book of hers. great fun!...

.

i didnt whine nor fuss

i didnt ask for her to pat me to sleep

i didnt look for my binky

i didnt ask to be turned me over

i just Zzzzzzz on my own!......

but she never let me sleep beside her. even with a bad wrist, she still put me away on the crib. to my expense really. coz when her wrist gave way, she would pull, push or throw me about! waking me during the transition always. heck.. i dont care. now i just wanna... zzzzzzz...

i see mr.Sun coming thru the curtains. funny... we are always out of the door by 6am. so i waited for her to get up and gave her a morning smile...

then i was left alone again. as she take her bath, iron her clothes, whatever.. i lost my patience. i should not wake before her. bad idea. sure she would talk or sing out loud for me to know she is nearby. but hey.. sorry ummie, but your voice aint nothing like CT. plus.. no food or change of diapers. its frustrating... lets go already ummie...

misfortune

thanx to IMF. ppl may be taking a detour to their dsetination. maybe not familiar with the pace they fumble. for the past 2 days i was crawling in traffic due to accidents...

CTE users would know if you're going 30km/h approaching the tunnel in the morning. an accident is definitely around the corner. but i have to say they update us with those LED signboards very efficiently...

.

2 crashes yesterday. an idiot wit no skills in overtaking i guess. you see a taxi and SuzukiLiana cramped side by side in one lane. following the flow i got stuck right behind it. thanx to another Suzuki who finally gave way to me. probably the compassion came from seeing a fellow suzuki's plight.

.

the other crash was worse. a mercedes van ramp straight into the cairnhill circle divider thus blocking the exit!

.

today i left at sunrise. i anticipate a jam and being charged ERP. but it was delightfully smooth till the tunnel. the ambulance alongside gave way the surprise. again i trailed my way to the accident spot...

it looks harmless. just a fallen bike. not till you see the redMazda3 on the road shoulder. the rider still consious. not a bloody scene coz he protects himself with a jacket and pants. i suspect he has a broken leg. that's why he has been lying there waiting for the paramedics...

.

that sent me back to the moments i was lying on the floor waiting for them to arrive. very concious with no pain all numb actually i was so aware of whats going on. i actually gave specific instructions to my rider to turn off the petrol and call for help! the petrol was leaking and my rider blur liao...

.

that was then. my heart race when i witness an accident. its like what if it was me... again!!

but i have no compassion for the victim. what happen to me..

i am still looking for courses to upgrade myself. i set this tone for myself back then. so first up is SingaporeParentingCongress. but it is more for parents with teenage kids or so. i need help before that. so i bought this book Gymboree-BabyPlay that teaches me how to play with my baby! quite sad ah me...

meanwhile i found a great page at PeoplesAssociation. we can search for Courses that is available in CC's across the island! many interesting courses to suit everyone... dancing.. cooking.. sports.. writing.. i need that. it states creative writing for students. i do hope i qualify.. hee

i still got Photoshop Advance Course waiting for my registration... many dreams little effort put in.. heh

today she caused her very first destruction. her fast hands had swiftly pushed my mug off the hook. it fell onto the kitchen counter then to the floor. the handle broke upon the first impact. then it broke into 2 on the kitchen floor. oh dear i thought when i look at her innocent face. she went numb and simply stayed still. what an angel you think...

it's ok... i can always get another mug at starbucks. all the way from phuket! my collection is one short. i guess i can return to that region as oppose to US or Japan.

later i fed her and she was drowsy. i put her on my bed. i left for the toilet to clean my hands when i saw stains on my wrist. i turn on the lights. i recognize blood stains anywhere. so i thought if that fallen mug can hurt me it would have gotten to her first. i went to inspect drowsy missy. lo and behold to what i saw...the picture looks bad. no hurt was inflicted on her during the photoshoot i swear. the cranky missy is normal. she usually cries herself to sleep. no worries. i was eager to administer first aid. i am so ready for this.

~i cleaned the wound with antiseptic. (or antibacterial wet wipes)

~being a believer in eastern medicine. i spread some minyak bubut on the wound.

~then i place the plaster(handiplast) on.

~since the wound is still bleeding. i had to apply pressure.

(pressure dressing goes on for 10mins. or till bleeding stops. plaster(handiplast) will be removed after a few hours. ensure the wound is dry. i believe ventilation is good. or you get soggy skin)

but missy insisted on me putting her to sleep. rather than fussing about her leg. so i slipped on a pressure dressing on it. here she is a few minutes later... in her beauty sleep. which really foiled my plan to go out with her initially...

she's ok. its just a scratch. no big deal...
