I'm unwell again. I've been having diarrhoea for the past 3 days and last night, I started sneezing. Nenek thinks it's because I've been eating too much organic broccoli. Nenek also thinks Emak is wasting money by buying me organic food but hey, isn't organic food supposed to be GOOD? Why are Nenek and Emak always disagreeing on so many issues? To reassure herself, Emak asked Ayah if she is wasting his money by buying all those organic food and His Excellency, THE AYAH, said YES! I suspect he regretted saying that as he knew it could get him into trouble so he quickly told her that she can continue buying organic food for me but I don't really need to eat 100% organic. Ah, Ayah! That's more like it cos there's no point getting into trouble with Emak, you know.Haha!

OK, back to the diarrhoea story. I woke up at 4am this morning to poo. Emak hates it when I poo because the smell is overbearing! My parents thought I would be alright soon but when I poo-ed again, twice! , in the morning, Emak quickly called RH to make an appointment for me to see Dr Toh. According to Dr Toh, I'm having low grade stomach upset and the flu is linked to it. Dr Toh also said that organic food is good.Heard that Ayah and Nenek??

But the bad news is, Dr Toh is quite concerned about my hyperactivity and has advised my parents to take me to a psychologist - to test for autism and ADHD. Boo hoo hoo. She said they can either take me for an assessment now or wait till I'm 2 1/2. My parents haven't decided what to do yet and they are giving themselves a bit more time before making a decision. Sigh.

While waiting for Nenek to finish terawih-ing just now, we went book shopping.

I got myself this book. The Wheels on the bus is one of my favourite songs and each time I hear it, I will dance to the beat and do all the actions - round and round, up and down, beep beep beep, etc.
Ayah bought the thick "updated and expanded" version of this one.
And Emak bought this. She has "Tuesdays with Morrie" but she can't remember where she has placed it. She can't remember if she has read "The five people you meet in heaven" but this new Mitch Albom book sounds interesting. "For one more day will make you smile. It will make you wistful. It will make you blink back tears of nostalgia. But most of all, it will make you believe in the eternal power of a mother's love." - James McBride

Actually, Emak bought this book for Uncle Man. It's his birthday soon and Emak thought this will be a book he might want to read BUT being the cheapo that she is, she is going to read it first before she ships it to Hong Kong. Haha! In fact, she won't even bother shipping it cos she sms-ed Auntie Sandra after buying this book and she's going to get Auntie Sandra to do it for her. Haha!

Tata, does organic broccoli taste the same as regular broccoli? I love broccoli! Salmon and broccoli porridge. Mmmmm .... !!

Tata said...

ajab, it tastes a little bit nicer than the regular ones.. and organic fruits stay fresh longer...ok, i have no idea how true this is but according to Emak's friends, broccoli is one of those veg that contains a lot of pesticide... u might want to check out if this is true.

A lot of pesticide?? *gulp*!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed ... and hoping the good folks at AVA will keep all unhealthy veggies out.

Hi Tata! I was bloghopping & stumbled upon yr blog. Yr girl is so cute! :)

Btw, yr hubb looks very familiar. Is he Suhaimi who studied in Curtin Uni previously? If yes, gee, I've been wondering how he is! He helped me a lot when I was starting out to study at UWA in 2000. Do let him know I'm Nani, and a friend of Zuraina's. Wonder if he still remembers :)

Thanks & take care!
