Fruitful saturday
mar

Due to generosity of Ira, last Saturday hubby and I managed to bring Ian out for longer hours than possible (aside from having to time check because I need to go home and pump). Well, previously our shopping strategy is, I carry Ian and hubby just goes into the shop/mall to grab a few items and then off we went home. But because we have a stroller so I can take my own sweet time to shop for CNY. Yahoo… :D

 Let me veer off the topic for a while. The story of the stroller is really long. We ordered our stroller + car seat, and the guy who is supposed to bring it back with his shipment last November got his trip in US extended to January 2010. And then in January, he told us it got pushed till end of April this year! OMG, so now we are basically stroller-less and car seat-less.

 And last weekend, Ira came to the rescue. She said Afiq had outgrown his car seat, and don’t fancy sitting in the stroller, so she lent me both items. And that is HOW I managed to do my CNY shopping last Saturday. Hubby takes care of baby Ian, and I get to try on outfits and show him. Haha! Of course sometimes baby Ian throws a fit and demands to be carried. But it really was convenient during lunch time especially! :D We had our lunch in Chilies and then I bought another polo T from FOS. Sad to say, I had really upgraded to M size. :(

 Btw, I had heck of fun time in Dorothy Perkins. 20% sales off on all items for member, and it’s a 3 day promotion. Thank god I was in Gurney last Saturday. I got 2 loose top and 1 shorts from there. I like the bootcut jeans of theirs, but the color puts me off, so I had not purchase it. Well, in my opinion, DP beats Topshop hands down anytime. Their items don’t cost an arm and a leg, services are excellent, sales girls are very friendly and helpful compared to cocky mothersuckers from Topshop, and. I always wonder how that can be since they came from the same upper management, together with Miss Selfridge. Too bad PG does not have MS. Tsk tsk…

 Anyways, I am seriously fat around the tummy area. Moreover when I tried on skinny jeans when the sales girl suggested, hubby gave a sheepish look that says it all. “You are fat!”. -_- and one of flowery top I bought shows off my flabby spare tire as hubby pointed out, but I bought it anyways because I liked it. Haha! I mean everyone knows I have spare tire (all my colleagues pointed it out. Duh! -_-) so I guess it doesn’t matter that much to me anyways. One day I’m going to get rid of it! (Just that I don’t know when. Haha! ;p).

 p/s: Woo~~ I love my ditsy bow tie top :D

meds galore
mar

I had some mild rash some weeks back, and at one point it got worse and starts to itch, to a bearable extend. Hubby pester me to see the doctor, but I kept putting it off until one day the itchness reached an annoying stage. So off I went to the doctor and she prescribed some Loradine for me, taken in the morning and Piriton at night. Due to the nature of Piriton which causes drowsiness, I asked the doctor to gave me non drowsy ones (Loradine) and she said its ok to just take 1 tablet a day in the morning.

Fast forward a couple of days later, the rash got worse, spreading to my upper thigh and arm, and maybe some mild patches on my body, and it itches like hell! So again I went to the same clinic and this round, the doctor went on offensive, and gave me a bunch of tablets. -_-

  • First 2 days, 4 tablets (2x – morning & night) of Prednisolone, 1 Loratadine in the morning, 1 Piriton at night, and 1 Cetirizine at night for itchness.
  • Next 2 days, 2 tablets (2x – morning & night) of Prednisolone, 1 Loratadine in the morning, 1 Piriton at night, and 1 Cetirizine at night for itchness.
  • Last 2 days, 1tablet (2x – morning & night) of Prednisolone, 1 Loratadine in the morning, 1 Piriton at night, and 1 Cetirizine at night for itchness.

 Due to my status in fb, Joo Lee gave me some feedback regarding Piriton and Cetirizine, and I have stop taking them as the itch isn’t so bad. Patches on my hand starting to fade, but my legs especially my calf still looks bad. -_-

Truth to be told, I’m sick of taking tablets ever since the delivery up until this moment. Since pregnancy, my skin seems to succumbed more easily to rash, a problem I had never had to bother about before this. During a certain period of pregnancy, shrimps make me itch and gave me rash around my tummy, and then it stopped. After labour, was inflicted with bum rash and had to take antibiotic for it (like seriously! Who takes antibiotic for bum rash?). But it was really painful so, I guess it’s my own fault for not noticing earlier the pain came from rash, not episiotomy wound. Tsk tsk….

And during confinement, due to the food consumed and the weather, I had some heat rash too, something that Ian also had. I am not sure whether I passed it to him or not, but eventually his went away after he was bathed with Guinness, while mine is not seriously as long as I don’t sweat too much and stay under the fan in a ventilated room (yes, I know during confinement you are not supposed to be directly under the fan, but hey the weather is crazy k?).

 So pretty much in 2 months time, my body had been pumped with various meds, I am really scared my liver is going to have a hard time clearing it all in the long run. The 5 days hospital stay was the worse, with multiple injections everyday and tablets to be swallowed, followed by 5 days of antibiotic course on the bum rash, and now 3/4days of Loratadine only and another 6 of the combination of meds aforementioned. Crazy life!!! I do hope this would not impact baby Ian in the long run. Tsk tsk…
