Hazy Days Bright Days

There used to be a time when I had flu and 2-3 days of antibiotics plus flu medicine would be all that it takes to make me well and kicking again. However, that has all changed since the adding of age digits and the decidedly no exercise implemented into my daily routine.
I have had this blasted flu since February and last Saturday, after sending my mom to cast her vote, I went to visit my merry doctor again. Complaining that the last medicine the clinic gave me about 2 weeks ago did not work its magic. This time, the merry doctor gave me tablets for cough, instead of the syrupy version of it and different flu tablets and also something to thin my phlegm. Luckily this time, I can feel the flu receding and the cough slowly leaving my throat. However, the operating word here is "SLOWLY". The speed is still not up to the one I am used to.
As such, I have decided to do something proactive about my situation of sluggishness and slow operating system for the internal organs.
'SOMETHING PROACTIVE' SOLUTION: I WILL START EXERCISING.
I, however have not decided on the form of exercise yet. Either the yoga, pilates or swimming or jogging or what not. Actually, might be trying all of it. Trying to be slightly ambitious here but I do really need to see healthy changes to my body. I need to see the bright days again.
On a different note, it's March already. It's my mom's birthday. Will get her something really nice this year. Methink she's lost a brooch recently. Methink that would be my gift for her this year.

Swollen the eye

I have no idea how I managed it but I woke up this morning with a swollen right upper eyelid. It doesn't feel itchy, painful or anything else and I woke up feeling nothing weird with the right eye. However, upon close inspection while brushing my teeth, I realised that my right upper eyelid looks odd. It looks larger and swollen than the left one. Panic started, I was afraid that I might have an allergic reaction to something that I used that night. I was using a new facial cleanser.
As my mom was at home, easiest solution would always be (for me) to run to my mom for an immediate solution. Nothing like a little injury or some unsolved mystery, like my suddenly swollen right upper eyelid, turning you into a little kid and go crying to mommy for a solution.
And mommy always have a solution to any problem.
True enough, my mom said that some bug or an ant managed to sneak to my eye and bit it. I have no idea why this particular bug goes straight to the eye, there are other parts of my body that is easier to reach. Anyways, my mom also mentioned that by afternoon, the swollen of the eyelid should subside.
And she was right.
I hope I can be this precise when I am a mom. Please bestow me all the knowledge, instinct, sixth sense and everything else that a mommy would need in dealing with the mysteries of the unknown.

Stork's Bundle of Joy

Anne Geddes's baby - in line with the theme of blog

It's so luverly to welcome these additional bundle of joy to my friends' brood: -

Deepika Letchumy - daughter to Pramjit and Jeya.

Danial Fitri - son to Juvita and Sazuan.

I have personally had the advantage of meeting Deepika (I hope I got the name correct) and she is just so amazing. Still so small and already she flashed me an amazing sexy smile. However, I do apologise to Deepika, I think she was mighty uncomfortable when I held her in my arms. I personally have limited experiences in handling newborn babies, actually not much experience on aged babies too. Only got experiences for little kittens. Somehow, that's not the same, right?

Anyways, Danial Fitri is concerned, I have not the opportunity to visit either the tired mommy or the baby. Should be soon, hopefully.

Lastly, before I end this blog, I also have to mention a few stuffs that are worth the mention: -
1) To Madam Tai Tai of Notts - congrats on your new job. Miss you much much loads. Inky looks so cute on your blog.
2) To Madam Pramjit - congrats on the new arrival.
3) To Madam Juvita - congrats too on the new arrival.
4) To Me - buck up, dahlink... changes are in the horizon!!!
