Spring cleaning

Our spring cleaning is not limited to once a year affair during Chinese New Year. Friends who know me for many years would have known that I often spring clean my house once every 2-3 months. My spring cleaning would include rearranging the furnitures and redecorate the house. If I recall correctly, this should be the 3rd time I have done this since I became SAHM slightly more than 6 months ago.

This time, I decided to move Kyrene's stuff up to one of the bedroom (she calls it her Play Room now). Her collection of books and magazines have also been moved into the study room upstairs. The lower level of the house is much less cluttered, so its easier for me to clean on a daily basis. Not quite done yet with my spring cleaning, thus explain my less frequent posting this week.

Some may notice my blog also changed in design and layout. Yes, my blog is also not being spared. It will be revamp every other few months. And I promise I'll write more interesting stuff.

Poor child

Last Thu, my nephew, Isaac was warded in the hospital for fever & cough. Doc said he got lung infection. As Isaac does not like to eat medicine, so he had a hard time recovering. He was put on drip to get the antibiotics into his body system and he did not like it either. He was so happy to see Kyrene and us when we went to the hospital to visit him.

On Fri, I went over to my brother-in-law's place to help out with the maid to take care of Cheryl while they are at the hospital. Cheryl has grown much and its much easier to take care than before. Kyrene loves to help to take care of Cheryl. Fri night, Johnny had to work, so I had to work doubly hard to take care of Kyrene alone at night. Kyrene stated one condition for letting her daddy goes to work, that is, I play with her with her cooking toys. So we play masak masak till 11pm, at the same time, did the laundry.

Hurray as Isaac was able to discharge from the hospital on Sat. We went to fetch him from the hospital to send him home. He was glad to be home, he was happily playing with Kyrene with all his fav toys. However, when it comes to medicine time, oh, our hearts sank, when he started crying so pitifully and said "no, no, no medicine". We got to coax him to take his medicine, reminding him that if he doesn't eat his medicine, he will have to go back to stay in the hospital.

We decided to change the layout in our house again. So gonna be busy and tired. More cleaning to do...
