The curious case of how she got it..

So my sister ana finally finished recording her single. Little jj immediately took a liking as she was already familiar with the song with ana rendering it acoustically a few times whenever we come over. It sounds more polished after getting the full studio treatment. Lets see if it catches on.

Little jj is coping with her chicken pox. The spots are showing up on her chest, back and other parts of her body. I'm still a bit frustrated with the fact that she even got infected. Just as she was recovering from her eye infection and flu, now its the chicken pox. We haven't been going out and meeting people who were infected. Although u never can be sure of what u bring back home coming from the daily commute from the office.

But the doctor told us that little jj probably was exposed two weeks ago coz it takes that long for the spots to materialize. Which means that she probably got it during our visit to the clinic to check up on her flu. Can't really be sure.

Well no use thinking about it, we just have to deal with it as best as we can. Last time the sight of little jj with her eye infection nearly brought me to tears, u can just imagine how she is now. We're trying to restrain her from scratching but u know la how it is with babies ni.

Giving her medicine is a tag team job with me holding little jj and the senorita administering the syringe filled meds. I can't imagine the senorita doing that on her own.

Anyways lets pray that little jj will get well soon eh.

dun be touchin me nose..

little jj doesn't like it when i try to wipe her nose. in fact, the experience is bordering on torture. and that's just a simple tissue to wipe her runny nose. imagine the horror when u try to give her nose drops or even try to use the nose pump to clear her nose.

its also a struggle to get her to drink milk from the bottle. this one time she wouldn't stop crying. i thought it was down to her really not wanting the milk, but it turned out that she did a number 2.

i guess we need to be more patient la kan.

i'm starting to sit down with little jj and 'read' with her. and by read i mean pointing at pictures and saying the words out loud. i did try the whole reading a story with some funny accent and trying to excite a reaction. but i think she's still too young for that. doesn't matter. at least i can still practice my fake indian and fake scottish accent for when she gets a little older.

speaking of which, we're now in the month of july. little jj's birthday is in the month of july. time really flies eh. soon she'll be running around and then the real fun starts.

tweet tweet..

i'm playing around with several "clients" for twitter. i think i might just give up blogging all together. hehe yeah right. anyways, on my phone i have Gravity which does the job really well. i'm using twitterfox add on when i'm browsing via firefox. and i just downloaded TweetDeck on the senorita's mac.

what is it with twitter eh?

some say its micro blogging. some people use it to spam. some use it to document every minute of their lives and some just use it to update their followers of what's going on in their lives. everyone is using it. well of course not la everyone is on twitter. its usage its not exclusive to famous people wanting to update their fans but even serious journalist. i remembered following the tweets of one newspaper reporter following the result of the political hupplah in perak and i read her update first before it was even in the mainstream news. that's kinda cool eh?

at the moment i'm following some friends, a few random strangers, some tech websites, pearl jam and hayley willams of paramore, a couple of arsenal bloggers, and the list keeps on growing.

i have even develop this habit of replying to any interesting tweets by strangers even. dunno why. must be that "nak nyebok" attitude in us all.

i have yet to convince the senorita to pick up twittering. she prefers the traditional blogging and just updating her status on facebook. i told her that she can link her twitter updates to her facebook - but then her updates would be open for all to see and not just her friends. she has a point.

hehe maybe i'm just not as shy like that. hehe if ya'll are on twitter u can follow me here.
