oh my poor fingers…

last thursday, as usual before going to work, I will store hot water into a jar to keep it cool. but on that morning, it was really silly of me thinking that this one particular plastic jar can be used for hot water. as I was filling up the jar, I saw water spilling and then I realised the jar melted and scalded my fingers.. such an idiot thing to do ina…!!!

I tell you… at the time it happened , the burning sensation was really really bad. at first I wasn’t sure if it’s only my fingers or the whole hands. quickly I ran my hand under the water tap for few minutes but after that it didn’t ease the pain. few minutes is not enough. I remember there’s old remedy to use toothpaste but I also read somewhere do not use toothpaste coz it can lead to infection. there was no burn meds at home, so water is the best meds coz it really ease the pain. since I have to go to work, I brought a bowl of water in the car and soaked my hands all the way to work.. luckily shah was driving…

4 days later… here’s how my poor fingers… there’s a slight irritation around the scalded area but it’s bearable..

developing asthma…

 

I’ve been coughing for more than a month now. it started out a dry itchy throat. so I took the cough syrup and even gargling salt water as advised by my dear friend Lanie but it doesn’t work.

my 1st visit to demc was two weeks ago. I was put on the nebs during the visit and was given plenty of meds.

I completed all in a week…

 

two weeks has gone and I’m still coughing.. this time it has turned into a long cough with flem. I’m having difficulty sleeping at night and shortness of breath after the cough. at one time, I thought I’m gonna die when I couldn’t catch my breath.. I even panting after coughing, walking, cooking etc…

so I went on 2nd visit to demc yesterday. they x-ray my chest to see if there’s any lung infection… alhamdulillah.. all clear… so the possibility is that I’m developing asthma symptoms… I was given an inhaler for a week and few meds…

after taking those last night, I sleep well but was awakened with long cough at 5.30 am this morning. took another couple of puff. please… please…  get well ina… insyaAllah…

I’m not surprised coz it runs in the family. my dad is an asthmatic but I’m totally surprised that I’m developing asthma symptoms at this AGE… ??? !!!

puddings…

 

last friday, I was not feeling well while at work so I sms-ed shah that I wanna go home early. he fetched me at 2 pm and we went for lunch.

the early exit from office was supposed to be me in bed resting but my mind was elsewhere. I just wanna bake something so I bought few things on our way home.

as I stepped into our home, I went straight to the kitchen and woila…

Bread pudding

bread pudding with creamy custard sauce on top… I just love the custard…

recipe courtesy from here… I change some of it to my preference…

Ingredients:

1 loaf of bread

4 eggs

700ml of fresh milk

2 teaspoons vanilla essence

1/2 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

Method:

soaked the bread in the milk for half an hour. In another bowl, add eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla essence and stir. mix the contents with the soaked bread and stir evenly. make sure the milk covers the bread entirely.

preheat the oven. pour in the bread mixture into a greased baking pan. place it in the oven at 200° Celcius for about 45 minutes to an hour, until it is cooked.

for the creamy sauce, I used a can of evaporated milk, 2 tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoon of custard powder. mixed all in a pot and cook at a lower heat with constant stirring till it turns creamy….

oh I make another pudding too… it’s chocolate pudding but… I forgot to snap it… hhrrmmmm…

lil aira on nebs…

 

poor little aira… a week ago, she had a mild cough and was on syrup medication. but after few days, I noticed she vomits at coughing and she couldn’t sleep well at night.

a week has gone and she was not getting any better. so another visit to her doctor and was advised on home nebulizer for two days, that was last monday and tuesday.

at first it was a struggle to put her on the nebs.. she’ll scream out loud… refused on putting the mask on… so apa lagi.. kena guna paksaan la gitu. tangan kaki semua kena pegang…

and each time she’s done her neb, I’ll put on myself as well so that she will know she’s not alone.. so that’s the trick..  Open-mouthed smile

see… she did it herself and I’m so proud of her….
