Maagang Pamasko

I've fallen sick the past week, hence, my zero visibility I've had a terrible cough, a hoarse, horse voice, and a phlegmful throat. I'm really sorry that I had passed it to my father-in-law when they were here. I had spread it to JJ and LB @work. And now it's Kimi's turn. *sigh* Indeed, a supervirus! and I would not want to have it again.

Kimi's been coughing so hard the past days even to the point of already vomitting because of the effort to expel that thing inside the throat. It's such a pity whenever I see him having difficulty to breathe during his sleep and he couldn't sleep straight. He's been cranky and so hot-tempered. We've been treating him with Bromhexine and Actifed syrup but to no avail. So we've shifted to Tergecef (an antibiotic) and it looks like it's taking effect.

This afternoon, we decided to go out and expose him to fresh air. Maybe, staying at home for several days straight does bore him too. Hubi and I had been previously discussing what kind of ride to buy for him. Because, whenever we bring him down to the playground, he would always go to the toys, i.e., bike, kart, scooter, of the other kids and play with either the wheels or the steering wheel. Of course, some of the kids don't like it and they would shoo him away. Here comes the stage where kids don't like other kids to meddle with their stuff. What's worst is, one older kid, whacked his head with his palm, 'though not as heavy as it seemed. I wanted to whack him back but I was controlling my anger then. Syempre, di naman ako papatol sa bata. Baka ako naman ang hampasin ng magulang hehe..

Since then, we decided that we'll be getting him something that he can play with. We went to SUNTEC and we saw a toy car, ala race car on display. It comes in 2 sizes, a big one and a slightly smaller one. The price difference is only SGD9 so it's indeed wiser to pick the bigger toy. It may be to early for Kimi to use, but at least he can make butingting the wheels and drive the steering wheel without annoying anybody. We spoke to the assisting staff and he mentioned that the same model of toy is being sold at a cheaper price at Giant (@Vivo City). We decided to go to their other branch @ Dhoby Ghaut and both models were not being offered. We rushed to Giant immediately as only 4 units are available according to the staff. True enough, when we reached the place, only 1 box was left and the price is definitely much cheaper (with a difference of SGD30, sayang din yun! *wink*). Without batting an eyelash, we took it right away and brought it home.

Kimi's eyes sparkled as Hubi unpacked the box. Maybe he wasn't expecting we bought it for him. At the store, he enjoyed playing with it along with the other toys around. After assembling it, he couldn't resist turning the wheels and sitting on the chair while the car is being pushed. He still can't reach the pedals, however, soon.

Hopefully, he can play with it freely downstairs without worries.

Hmmm...a good time to take revenge? ;) *kidding*
