The Curious Case Of The Infection.

Jae developed a mild chicken pox early last week. At first even the GP we saw wasn't sure if it's chicken pox since her symptoms are suppressed by her vaccination. But after asking around we are quite sure it was chicken pox. The fever only lasted two nights and she only had little rash-like bumps on her tummy and knees. Other than that she was still hopping and climbing around.

Then came the second infection 3 days ago. She developed a 40 degree fever that doesn't go down even with paracetamol. For the first time, we saw her really tired from her fever. She would ask me to put her down on the bed and fall asleep on her own. On the third we decided to bring her to KK before the fever go any higher. The doc wasn't sure what infection she got since she didn't have any visible symptoms other than the fever. They even run a test on her urine to see if there's an infection there. Nothing. So we got a few more bottles of stronger painkillers and wait for the infection to run its own course. Luckily it only took another night before Jae get back to normal temperature.

I'm not sure why but eversince she's become very very clingy. Like a Koala. Didn't want to us to get more than a step away from her. It's quite tiring especially we have been trying to take care of her at home for the past two weeks.

Hopefully she'll get back to normal soon.

There goes the chicken

Valentine's Dinner

It has became sort of a tradition for us to cook Valentine's day dinner back at home. Partly because we got our share of rip-off set dinners from our younger days but also because wifey's parents don't really plan for Valentine's Day. 

This year wifey took the effort to find out an "atas" butchery at Bukit Timah for our supply of steaks and ribs. All fresh air-flown meat from all over the world. If anyone's interested I can find out what's the shop's name. But I can tell you, after the succulent steaks I don't think I'll ever pay for another steak in restaurants. Fresh steak are so good you can actually eat it on its own. Yes, no need black pepper sambal mushroom rubbish sauce. Just be brave and get a rare cooked steak. The juices will retained and you'll realise that beef is actually sweet! Plus two pieces of 2in  Wagyu beef is only less than 14 bucks! 

Dessert was Nutella Crazy Cake. Loaded with Nutella chocolate and nuts. We caught Geraldine and Jae quietly nibbing the cake while we were enjoying our steaks. It was so funny. Two of them went quiet suddenly and I wondered where were the two rascals. Lifted up the bind and saw two rats nibbing a corner of the cake at the kitchen!

I wish I got a photo that. Would be classic!

Anyway, happy belated Valentine's Day
