Feverish Habibati

Habibati's voice has been husky for almost a week already. Whenever I measured her body temperature, the results were always between 35 and 36.4 degrees celcius. However, when I touched her forehead, she seemed to be very warm. There must be some errors with our digital thermometer (OMRON brand). Then when we brought her to the doctor, it was in deed true! Habibati was feverish and her body temp was 37.8 degrees celcius. I even checked her temp using our own digital thermometer which sadly had shown 35.3 degrees celcius! mmmmm...got to buy a new one...(in fact my hubby bought it at BND80) ;(

The examination result --> Habibati's larynx had an infection which led to ulcers. Since she didn't have flu and cough, the doctor only prescribed her with an augmentine antibiotic suspension and an orange-flavoured paracetamol.

At home, I don't have problem giving her medicines. She is as usual very cooperative and even says "yummy!" *chuckled*

We are so thankful to Allah that Habibati is recovering...we really miss to hear her original sweet girly voice. Get well soon darling!

Laksa Johor

Last night we didn't feel like eating rice so we had 'Laksa Johor' for dinner. We have tried eating two Malaysian noodle-based dishes such as Laksa Sarawak and Laksa Penang. Now that I have bought the instant Laksa Johor, why not I tried my luck with this one. Furthermore, the availability of the basic ingredients made this fabulous dish a reality.

Above, the instant 'perencah Laksa Johor' and I only used some Rostris prawns.

Below shows the condiments or garnishing for the dish namely sawi, cucumber, lime, tomatoes and spring onions.

Comments --> This dish is graded A++ although I made some modifications with the actual recipe stated on the packet. What I did was that I doubled the amount of coconut milk so that the gravy stayed less spicy. You can add more to this dish such as chicken, squids, tofu and sprouts. Overall.....I will make this dish again in the near future....it's yummy...believe me!

Habibati's cute 'head gear'....

I was about to dress up Habibati and while I was choosing from the closet which dress for her to wear....she had something nice for herself. Have a good look at her innocent face...! A very 'stylo' head gear yea.... *giggles*

Our Bath Time Hero

Our hero is so magnetized to his 'machine gun' even during his bath time. It is making us worried if his 'weapon' is spoiled because water may get inside it. I was so 'geram' and snapped him naked! LOL..

Buah Tarap

The fruit season is just about to come and this one I think is the starter. I guess most of you have not seen such fruit. It's very popular and widely grown in the Borneo Island. Locally it is called 'buah tarap'. It is spiky but not sharp. The inside pulp is .......mmmm......so sweet..so luscious...and so tempting. But tarap has such a strong scent which means nobody can hide this fruit if it's already ripe hehheee.......and I can eat up a whole fruit if the size is medium ;). But what I like is to turn it into 'cucur' as shown below.

But I really wonder..what do you call this fruit if it can be found in your place?

Uniquely Singapore (Ending)

This is ending part of my entry about 'Uniquely Singapore'........

We were very much attracted by the lovely in-door gardens of the Changi Airport. We checked in very early although our flight was scheduled at 945p.m. just to enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful gardens in the departure hall.

How I wished our home was equipped with this pond filled with colourful koi fishes. Habibati was overjoyed seeing these fishes and kept on saying 'fish..fish...'.

Beautiful orchids by the fish pond....mmm.....so calming....so soothing... a tranquility....
Habibati's actions there.....
Unexpectedly, our flight was delayed from 945p.m. to 1215 a.m. (what????) so we were then sponsored *smile* with a supper comprising 3 sets of meals that night at Burger King, as a complimentary. These were what we had......

hot chocolate....so warm and yummy....

Tasty double whopper burgers....*burp* grade A!

and chips...just like the typical ones...

Our Burger QUEEN!

Now...our sleeping beauty on board....*giggles*

The Students Resume Schooling....

On the 6th July, Monday, the schools and colleges in Brunei were reopened for the students after a week extension of the school break due to the increasing number of Influenza 'A' H1N1 cases here. So here the teachers are turned into 'nurses' every morning to take the body temperatures of the pupils before getting into their respective classrooms.

For those who have the symptoms like having body temperature more than 37.8 degrees celcius, flu, running nose and cough are given permission to go home and seek proper medication.

Our Darling Hero

Lately Habibi likes to play with guns and pistols. He imitates the actions of the STAR WARS II - THE CLONE WAR (which is continuously played on the DVD player). Ayah bought him a battery-operated "machine gun" which produced an 'irritating' sound whenever he 'shot'. Despite the unpleasant sound made, something had made us giggle seeing his actions. Habibi really is skillful in holding his "machine gun" and would watch the DVD while playing with his toy..and would shoot as well when the actions of shooting was on!

Our "Art Gallery"

Kids love to be expressive. So do our apples. Whenever they see a pen or a coloured magic pen, they like to express their feelings without fail but WITH LOVE!!

These were what happened when they saw my highlighter in my stationery bag. Without any fear..they asked for it and I gave each of them a book to write on. But I think they should have been bored with books..so they turned to the walls.

Below ~ Gotcha Habibi!!

Currently we are having our own art gallery...which is not opened for public view...*giggles*

Habibi & Habibati - Happy Ride!
