It still persist & i have to worry another day. I am feeling tired because i dun get uninterrupted sleep for 4 nights now, I really really hope fever will stop right NOW!! I did the 5 min suggestion and it did not work, what else i can do beside medication?
Earlier we thought of bringing andrea to DSH & mum insist that i shall wait for another day because it will put andrea in pain for drawing blood from her little body. We intend to have blood test. Andrea fever was not very high in the morning until 11.30am at 38.3& it has pass our initial plan to go DSH at 10.30am. Well, i've called dr. musa instead at 12.30pm, to ask if i should come and see him. He told me that if i'm using an ear thermometer, anything below 38 is fine. I told him about diarrhoea, he asked me to reduce antibiotic from 2ml to 1.5ml. So we will see if andrea's temperature ever reach 38 tomorrow, if yes we would need to have blood test :(
Mum has also bought Chinese herbs, i hope this is not contradict. It's an animal horn, cannot recall. It claim to draw out wind and heat from the body. My friend advise me to drink after 4 hours of antibiotic intake. I hope it will cure andrea as i am now feeling really tired.

Fever
Andrea has her 1st Fever at 38.8 highest for these 3 days! It's very worrying ... It was all started on Monday, whole morning was feeling warm & at about 5pm we felt her body temperature rising. When I measure it at 6pm it was at 38.1 & only gave her paracetamol at 38.4. I wake up 2 hrs interval to check on her.
Yesterday I've brought her to DSH, suspected dengue cos there is no sign for other illness, so brought her to hospital instead, just in case needed blood test. to our relieve, dr said that its sore throat hence no need to go for blood test today. If the fever doesn't go away by tomorrow then we will need to go back to DSH for blood test. Hope that the fever will subside by today. sigh.. Yesterday night was a nightmare, i woke up at 12.30am and her temperature is at 38.7!!! I hate myself to have headache yesterday and hate hubby to fall asleep without keeping an eye on her. Thank god that it didn't shoot up to 40!
About Andrea's milestone, She can dance to music, moving her hands very nicely. Mum showed her Video that a group of kids dancing with songs, she can imitate a little. She can say "put cup" when she wants her drinks to pour into a cup and drink.

Productive Day
Yesterday was a busy day, however i have done 4 things out of 5. It was very smooth going ...
(a) brought andrea to her last Little Walkers Class. Chat with the teacher a little. Hope that i would see her again in the future. I will surely miss that class, dunno about andrea. I think she will miss her Sticker most!
(b) I had my facial done & it was not done by my favourite beautician. However she could fulfil my needs! So overall i'm satisfied! She cleared all the oil seeds & make it in time for me to have my hair cut at Shunji
(c) Had my hair cut with one of the master stylist at Shunji. I enjoyed my stay because the stylist is very sociable, i feel comfortable talking to him and he seems very skilled & friendly. although i'm not 100% happy with what i see yesterday (my hair results), but because of his knowledge and spend time on my hair cutting, i would give him 100%. Will try out a few times to make conclusion. Hubby is satisfied with his cut Too!
(d) Collect Pocoyo and Elly from Raveen at Jalan Gasing. Thanks so much to Simon my cousin who is currently working in the UK & his friend Raveen to bring it home for me. Andrea loves it So Much that she did not wake up in the middle of the night crying for milk. I heard her say Elly then fall back to sleep. Amazing!
(e) the last thing is, i didn't know Mastery Academy close on Saturday. I went up and it was close. Well, It doesn't cost much effort because it's just beside shunji, so it's alright. Will contact them again next week!

Interactive
Andrea is very interactive now, I went and pick her up at 6pm yesterday at mum house. She has taken her dinner & bathe. Here are some example yesterday:
(a) when i arrive, i say "Hello Andrea, how are you", then walk towards her
Andrea: "Hi", Point to the drawer " Hair Band". Yes she can say very clearly. I carry her and she took it out herself and put the hair band on her head.
(b) Went to the kitchen to check if there is anything to eat, while emelyn packing stuff to bring home. I took out a yakult and drink
Andrea: 'mum mum', i say "yes, i'm drinking yakuly", andrea keep pointing at my drink, i drank 3/4 and gave her 1/4. I ask "andrea, nice or not", Andrea: "nice" Yes, very clearly
(c) Test andrea if she can remember our names. Who is xx (daddy name). andrea: "Dada". I tested for myself, dad, mum & two sisters. She knows it all! Weird enough, andrea loves to call her daddy "dada" but call others correctly & clearly - Mummy, yiyi, gong gong, mama, amy (auntie or ty)
Back at Home:
(d) I read books for her, her favourite character are pigs, dog, eli (elephant), coco (crocodile), cow. When i read the book who has either of the character she will point and say none stop .. eg "there, coco". She also will say "pig, haha" (the pig laugh at the wolf)
(e) Took flash card and flash to her, she refuse to look at it. Then i put it on the bed. Andrea went and pick up the cards and put it on the table. she says "Keep" while holding the card
(f) I sing her favourite song, she say "Again" when i finish singing! This is a new word which she have not say to me!

Self Reflection
Blame it on how i was being brought up, i have this sense of insecurity & needed lots of attention & love from my family. I will lose my mind if my mum doesn't listen to me or dad doesn't want to buy things i want or sisters don't obey to me. Beside this horrible behaviour i have, i have my good side which i was a thoughtful person, willingness to help & trust that communication is the key to all problems. My parents always fight when i was young hence, i've cleverly identify the root cause which is "lack of communication".
I have believed "lack of communication" is the key to all problems since i was a kid & im very expressive towards my family members & close friends. Even sometimes with open communication i helped some ppl & i'm very proud of myself because i found key to happiness in life. I have advise many friends to have open communication & shouldn't keep everything to yourself & things will definitely turn out well. I would proudly say "Look at me, I'm a real life example. My relationship with family members and hubby is good"
Beside, i'm arrogant at times & thought i could fix all the problem i face, even solve other ppl's problem. Because of this, i couldn't accept bad things will hit me and i got caught because i do not know how to handle it. I thought im god all this while, identify root cause in life and fix problems. I couldn't tell you or explain it to you how hurt am i, deep inside myself & i feel so ashamed of myself because my believe is no longer valid. All these happened sometimes ago, maybe 1-2 months, i tried to be strong, be forgetful, be open hearted, be realistic, be HAPPY. I failed miserably ....

Shichida - Oct 18 & 19, 2008
We had 2 classes this week, one was for the replacement of 5th October. So far the class was ok, never mind my previous post on my 1st class. hehe... human always expect too much when it comes to expensive stuff. Well, now i have got used to the sensei and it wasn't that bad after all. Everything seems alright now & is looking forward to the next class.
I have not started any home practise yet, still gathering flash cards and other materials for home practise. Andrea couldn't have 100% concentration throughout the 1hr 15min class, but i would say better than some kids in the same class. The most frustrating things is, our neighbour keep on making noise, drinking milk, crying, wailing in the class and distract andrea. hmph... Wondering when will he stop

Wonderful Mum
Attended the PEC and only realised that we only start living and start understanding life when we have our 1st kid. Bringing up kids make parents/ human realise the importance of love and becoming more sensitive towards feelings. Because of love, we will give them the best and because of love our child will feel secure and become a confident & successful person.
So if you ask how old am i, i shall be telling you 15 months. Looking back i have only regretted not to breastfeed andrea until 1 year old. My milk supply drop tremendously when i was feeling stressed, not because of work, because of making the utmost important decision back then. However, thank god andrea is fine in taking formula. Others, i think i have done pretty well. I acknowledge her shortcoming and tried ways to overcome it & have keep her close to me by taking care of her at night. I have sing lots of song to her and talk to her often. I keep myself updated on new stuff, make sure andrea do not miss anything during this time (kiasu). I buy the best clothes for her so that she & I will look good :p
She has started "little walkers" in August & honestly i do like this class. Not because the development programme is good, but because i have somewhere to go when hubby is working on Saturday + kizports gym room is huge + CHEAP! Because of the fee hike, i have decided to terminate effective November. Hope andrea & myself will not miss this class and will find other things to occupy us for Saturday morning.

Parent Education Course
My Thoughts. How many shichida kids able to do all these wonders that they have shown us during the course? If all shichida kids is able to do all of them & is measured in different level (depends on the child capability) or shall i call it at yellow belt for taekwando, i'm OK. Because eventually these abilities could help human being to do everything accurately & fast with confident! Even if it's at yellow belt but still better than non-shichida kids.
This course really amaze me, it's like training a buddha-like kid without chanting Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo. Kids can tell what is going to happen thru senses, they do Image play & memorize things just an instant, they read fast & does everything like an lightning strike! Jocelyn Khoo even said that some kid heal their grandparents in just a touch and also shichida kids are wiser, they could talk like an adult even they are at 10 years old. There are many many more amazing stories.....
However, i have not experienced it myself with andrea but it's good to know there is such program to shorten the path to buddhahood. To me, eventually we will be going to leave our body and like SGI teaching, our spirit will remain in the universe. Our wave length should be the same as the universe, the alpha wave. I do not know if all these are from japan and they jive nicely. I would like to believe it :)

Shichida - Oct 12, 2008
My experience on the 1st day wasn't impressive. for such expensive course i would expect a more experienced teacher & a well accepted environment for brain development.
My Sensei was a Malay ( i didn't even ask for her name & she did not introduce herself either), she does not pronounce English words very clearly (do not mention about other languages that she use in class, i would suspect it to be worst). The sensei had turn on the music too loudly that i felt there is a clash on her voice and the background music. The room is too hot that i have to ask her to switch on the fan.
I have told myself to stay positive, never mind the sensei and lets focus on the material they have used. Mostly flash cards & songs & some craft. I think they are useful, but i couldn't be doing it all together at once. I have found their pace is quite fast, i would need to adjust myself to the high speed training so that i could get in line with sensei. Andrea was cranky towards the end of 15 mins, i guess she was sleepy and hungry or it was too fast & have bored her? I have no idea...
I have yet to find out the structure of the course, as in what are the development area for the kids & will work towards each of that area. I guess we will find our more in the PEC (parent education course) course later in the evening today.

Weekend Escapade
We have used up all of our 1 night at 50% & 2nd night complimentary voucher. Last trip the Horizon club floor was at the top floors, now they have moved it down due to renovation. We are at level 11 this time and the lounge is located at 1st floor.
Overall the trip was tiring as i dun get much time for myself as i like, like lying down for comfort, sitting down day dreaming or just watching Andrea doing her things. All i did was ensuring things are well organize and rushing for all my meals. well, i did have time to play on Pet Society at night (game that i was addicted at the moment). So it was not too bad afterall.
Back to the trip. We have had a room dining experience on the 1st day we arrived & it's excellent. My fish and chips are Cod Fish, oh my GOD.. it's the 1st time i had Cod Fish as fish and chips. It's yummy and i enjoy the Cod fish smell, every mouth of it. Hubby's burger was very nice too, i had 1/8 of it! hehe. Second day we had Chinese restaurant, Andrea is feeding herself well, at least i could finish my meal half rushing not 100% rushing. I did not bring any cereal or cook porridge for her, we fed her whatever it's on the table for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I think she is doing well.

Refuse Milk?
Andrea is now 15 months +, she starts to reject milk in the morning. 2 days in a row that she refuse milk in 1st attempt. Yesterday she finished her milk after the 4th attempt & Today hubby said she only drank 2 ounces (we make 4 ounces). What could be happening?
We are doing fine in travelling to my parents house for dinner and pick up Andrea. Andrea is now very interactive & likes to play. Love spending time with her, she is such a smart girl and pretty! We are starting Shichida Class this Sunday and i hope everything will turn out well.
We are going for an weekend escapade again, yippee... This time the same, only three of us. Hope i can manage better cos Andrea is such a big girl now.

Back to Zero
I have read about astrology, I've also chanted Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo. My eagerness to find out about myself and hope that i could view things in different lights. However, in the end, i'm still here.. i thought that i've move ahead very far... but when i look back now, i'm still on the same spot that i'm standing 8 years back.
I understand from my astrology that i never get enough/ satisfied of what i have right now. I have tried very hard, so hard to remind myself i have a good life now and everything seems perfect. It may not be perfect it my eyes, but perfect enough for the people around me to judge. I shall lower down my expectation and live a realistic life.
