Children Day cum Lantern Festival

Mummy: Read so many blogs about their kids down with flu, cough, fever, etc. Mine was not spared either.

L developed a slight cough, which turned into serious cough with phlegm & flu since last week. His voice became rough & his eyes drooped. His face sunk in & his lips a bright red - signs of inpending fever.

On & off, he will bouts of fever measuring ard 38-38.5 degrees. Paracetomol is always on the stand-by; our home, mil's place & at the shop.

Its been a week & L still not recovered completely. His fever is gone ( temporary - i hope it doesnt return) but his cough remains. Its quite nasty as u can hear the thick phelgm whenever he coughed.

But his energy level is not affected. He attends sch daily, yells, jumps & run about as usual. Today is 01 Oct - Children's Day. He had a celebration in school this morning- Children's Day cum Lantern Festival. Each child was to bring a food item as they were all having " pot luck". L was asked to bring springs rolls. Every child was also asked to dress their best & bring a battery operated lantern.

Oh! Speaking of spring rolls. I was casually asking my sil the other day whtr did the teacher mention abt the no. of pkts L has to bring. Sil stared at me & said:" Packet?! They all come roll by roll right? U buy 1 box la. Maybe buy strawberry one lor " My turn to say:" Roll by roll? Strawberry? Where gt 1 box one? All in packet form wat." She replied:" Spring rolls are those sweet cakes right? Those that u can buy from the bread shop right?"

Hahahahahah......i laughed out loud. Sil gt mistaken. The so call sweet cakes she was referring to were swiss rolls. I was toking abt spring rolls. ( Popiah).

Sil looked at me & for a moment, i thot she didnt realise her own confusion. Then, hahaha...she laughed at her own silly mistake.
