Virus, I hate you!

Mama and me have been sick since last week. Mama had bad flu and bacteria infection of the throat. But she's better now. I am having high fever, up and down since last Sunday. Highest record was 40 degrees. It doesn't help when it's accompanied by phlegmy cough and flu.

Think we crossed spread to each other. And I hate taking anti biotics! Only Papa and Yeye can feed me because Nai Nai doesn't have the heart to as I will beg, jump and cry. Mama will lose her patience and get frustrated because it pains her heart too. So only the 'big' guys in the house can do it well.

And I've learnt new "tricks" to avoid taking it. I'll cry, "Ouch! Pain! Pain!" When one of them just touch me (one needs to hold me down). But it was just a very gentle touch. Hehehee...guess this didn't work much as they had seen through it already. Sigh....then I tried saying, "Wait, poo poo." And on the first time, Papa believed me. Then he grew smarter, because nothing came out! So it didn't work too.

I tired saying, "Don't want medicine. Sticky sticky!" The medicine has this powdery white texture. Yucks! Sigh, now I must think of another excuse! But apart from medicine taking time that is torturous for all, I have been quite cheery at Nai Nai's. Last night, when the were having dinner, I entertained them with my self improvised songs!

I have been sick about 4 times only after 2 1/2 months of starting school. Praying that my body will build up the immunity soon. And the adults are thinking of bringing me to Chinese Sing Seh to "tiao" my body. Hopefully, it's not an expensive option.

But Mama thinks it's worth a try because she also hates seeing me sick. Taking medicines is really like watching a torture session going on. Sometimes takes 4 people to do it. One to pin me down, one to force feed, one to attend to the mess and one to sayang me after the ordeal. Sigh......that is why Mama gets upset when parents of sick children irresponsibly bring them to school or out in public to spread virus! I think so too. I think we need to be educated to have social responsibility.

Mama's motto, "Do to others, what you want others to do to you."
