The “FLU” GOT Her

On Saturday, we had planned to bring Anthea and Anders to the Zoo. One of Anthea’s classmate’s mom got 2 Zoo Corporate cards and she passed them to me. They planned to visit the Zoo on Sunday.

Both Anthea & Anders were excited about the Zoo outing.

However, in the morning, Anthea had quite a bad cough and vomited some phlegm. Seeing her coughing so bad, I told Adrian that we should cancelled the Zoo excursion and let her rest at home.

The decision was right. After drinking the cough and fever medicine, she rested the whole morning. The weather was also very cooling with slight drizzle in-between.

Anders was quite sad that we could not visit the Zoo; however, I told him that we can go next time when jie jie is well. He seems to understand and agreed quite readily.

We had dinner at my parents place. Simple home cooked hainanese chicken rice with few nice dishes. I had a good time catching up with my 2 brothers and parents. The children also enjoyed the company of 大舅& 二舅。

After dinner, we went home and the children rested early.

On Sunday, we had a full day of rest at home since Adrian was at work. Anthea recovered well. So in the evening, we managed to have a nice dinner with the extended families at Tung Lok Signatures restaurant @ The Central.

Hi Jean,

Indeed, the "old wives" tale is don't eat chicken when having cough.

So Anthea did not eat chicken rice. She had her fav "mashed potatoes" done by her doting ah gong/ah po.

cheers,
astee
