4 Nov 2014 ~ Relaxing

At this time of the year, exams papers were given back. Thought not what we expected but at least passed all papers.
Compare to term 3 , term 4 both make a great improvement so still happy for them.
This time I make them self study. Gave them past year exam paper to do, mark the paper , go through wrong questions with them and revised work during exam time.

2014 Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day. HB on duty so me and kids will have to get through the day by ourselves.

In the morning, we went for our breakfast at McDonald. Then we stayed there and revised their tests for next week (what a mother's day, no rest lo). Stayed there for almost 3 hrs...then we went to do our grocery.

Surprised that my lazy girl helped me to carry some of the stuff (which she don't and always complain). My son will do it auto.

So far this year they are very obedient didn't make me angry. Benjy planned for this Mother's day to do house chore for me. He also pulled his sister in for help.

He will vacuumed the floor and Ashley will mopped it. After that he will wiped the window grill and walls for me too.

And they made a card for me too.

2014 Health Screening

On Tuesday, I went for a full body checkup which cost me $170. More expensive then the last test cos this time i added the ovary cancer marker. 

Yesterday, received a call from the clinic that I can collect my result and she added that your urine test is "dirty". Well as expected, I had been have UTI for a long time but 3yrs ago it turn really bad. 
No matter what antibiotic i have taken it just wouldn't go away. That why now I still under observation in NUH. The problem is they can't actually find what it causing my UTI. Said multi bacteria found in urine culture..bah..bah.. 

So last night I went to see the doc for my result. As expected my cholesterol is high but I compared to last year result it had dropped. And urine have traces of white blood cell 300+ and red blood cell. And thus have to take antibiotic for the next few days.

Other results like cancer marker all negative but I have rheumatoid arthritis. Pain in joint. Mild. I did felt that my hand sometimes will hand tightness especially in cold weather but this few years i did not felt it at all. And also calcium low. So have to take calcium pill liao. Overall it still consider good in health lah. Just have to watch my diet ( which i had since last year and my weight dropped). Well as for the cholesterol for all these years result always above 220 so suspect is genetic. 

Oh the i also check my blood for the red spots on my body. Palette count ok so doc said that it might be the blood capillary is thin that why there are red spots like on my arms. Nothing to worry. liao..

18 Nov 2010

I wrote this before my mum passed away in Dec 2010. Only less than a month and she just gone.


Today they are having school party and also the end of this year school term. I only let them attended this year party cos the previous years too lazy to prepare food lor....hahaha... This year I cooked cocktail hotdogs for them to bring to school. Easy and not messy....hahaha....

Very fast, next year Benjy will be going to Pri 1 at Zhenghua School and Ashley K2. Wow... now one is 6yrs and the other is 5yrs old. Times really flies.....so fast... don't have a moment to slow down. They are growing way too fast and really missed the times when they are just a baby in my arms.

Looking at the post, i didn't update for a very very long time because this whole year alot of things had happened. Mostly sad sad moments....

My kids just lost their parental grandmother. She died of liver cancer. From the time when she discovered till the time she passed away is only a very short time of 7 months. I don't know how long they can still remember her. Every time when they saw her picture, they will always said that they missed her very much. Her memory for them is very short, just 4-5 yrs. They haven't had the chance to know her better and she just gone. Till now i still can't accept that she is no longer with us. (just thinking of her make me cry again...)

I lost another uncle again. His was my father elder brother. He too lost his life to cancer. After my MIL passed away his health was very bad and his last only 3-4 months. It another shocked to me and i was so depressed during all this happening. I already lost one aunt and my 2nd uncle, both to cancer too , now he. I really don't have a very open mind for the future to come.

During all this was happening, we found out that my mum is sick. She had myelofibrosis. It a bone marrow disease which causes her marrow not producing enough blood in her body. She is very skinny now, though she is eating well. She needs blood transfusion every time she went for check up. She is taking some TCM medicine now, hope it helps her abit and relief her of any pain in her legs.

This year still got one and half months to go. I really hope that everything goes well so that we can welcome 2011.

 Didn't know that another death is happening in a few weeks time. Life is just so unpredictable and so fragile.

Acnes attack!!!!!!

This post was written 4yrs ago and didn't publish it.
As of today seldom have acne on my face.

Yr 2010

How I prevent Acne form getting worse.

It came back again. Had it once when i was 31 yrs old. That time i didn't know that it is hormonal acne. Cos it only appear at the jaw line areas. Big, swollen n painful. Forgotten what I had taken to cure it that time. But I do remember that I tired a lot of products. Then I took Yasmin birth control pill and then it disappeared.
I took Yasmin for 1yr plus because it give me a very bad migraine, that why i stopped 4 - 5 mths ago. 1 month after stopping the pill, acne started to pop out on my jaws and hairlines area. So i have to start over again to search online for cures, product n etc,
Seem a doc and he gave me anti-biotic pills. He gave me 30pills but i only taken 10. It gave me side effect like loose bowel, body ache or tiredness, n no urge to go toilet even if urgent.
So find out more about Hormonal Acne on Internet.
It appeared on the jaw line and chin area/ lower face and neck. It is also called unbalancing of hormone. Producing too much oil that will clog the pores.
The over counter products i bought are:
1) Cleanser - oil free cleanser which have salicylic acid or contain antiseptic.
2) Toner - oil free which contain antiseptic.
3) Acne cream - oil free which have benzoyl peroxide. (Oxy 10)
3) Evening Prime oil - contain Omega6 and heard will balance out the hormone. (1000mg)
4) Multi-vitamins - which contain zinc and magnesium, Vit A, very important.
5) Lemon Juice - rub it on face after cleansing, leave for 20mins, wash off with war, water.
6) Garlic Juice - alternate day, use garlic juice and rub it on the whole face. Wash with warm water after 20mins.
7) Tea Tree Oil - this product will kill bacteria, so apply together with acne cream.
8) No milk and bread and sugar - said milk and bread will produce more oil. so leave out ALL DIARY products.
As of today , 8 sept 2011, my acne are under control. Lemon and Garlic are the best. I applied at night and the next morning you can see the result. The redness and swollen are gone or reduce. Now my face don't have so many ugly lumps.
