New Haircut


Lost amidst stories of falling ill and high fever and us rushing to NUH at 4 am, and me turning red and spotty, is the fact that I got a haircut last week! The barber man was nice enough not to freak me out with a noisy, scary-looking razor like the other barber man I visited previously. This nice barber man, started out with a small pair of scissors first - took some parts from the left, and to the right and then cleaned it all up with a nice, small, and definitely non-threatening razor. It helped that he had this huge fish that I was distracted with swimming around the tank near me. Mama says I look like a Thai schoolboy now.

The Time I Fell Sick

I recently fell ill. It wasn't fun at all cos at first, I had the runny nose and the cough for weeks. Abah and Mama had taken me to the pedi and I had been good, taking all the medicine and all. But I didn't completely recover from them. And then, last Friday a nasty fever started. I was so hot I made Jessica Alba look ... not hot. Mama said my temperature hovered around 39 deg. At around 4am Saturday morning, it was actually nearer 40 deg and that's when the folks decided to bundle me up to NUH's Children's Emergency.

The doc there said I probably had chest infection or something, I can't remember. What I do remember is that the place has got to be one of the most boring waiting areas I have ever been to! One miserable toy nailed down to a table. Oh well. So I settled on Abah's lap while he read Men's Health magazine. Thank God I was feeling a lot better after a couple of hours and cooled down. And while I was feeling woozy, Abah and Mama slapped one of them silly-looking plasters on my forehead to keep my temp down.

It's been several days since NUH now, but I guess I'm at the tail-end of this fever saga cos I broke out in these spotty red ... spots, yesterday. They're not itchy or anything and I know I look funny, but I feel fine, sleepin' ok and in a fine mood to make a mess anytime. Actually, I'm just lookin' forward to going for a nice walk this weekend with my parents to maybe ... Bedok Jetty @ East Coast. Yah, Bedok Jetty. Later.
