What A Long & Eventful Weekend...

In addition to missing Jason's little gathering, J and I didn't really had a great weekend. You can see how sad Little Skywalker was when we told him :P

Our Saturday was nearly ruined by the stupid seminar where I listen to almost identical presentations that I've heard about a month ago. What a total waste of time! And I was thinking that something beneficial might came out of it after dedicated a Saturday to it!

However, we did went to Jusco (again..) and got Little Skywalker a little toothbrush. Apart from that, we finally got ourselves the old 24-tin carton of 100plus. It was then that we figured that inflation has finally caught up with us. It is like RM3 more expensive than the last time we bought it. Our last two visits to get it was unsuccessful (they were selling 1.5L bottles instead), and now we know why! Since I am quite environmental friendly and do not like having all the plastic bottles at home, we got the tin carton anyway.

However, we were very lucky as Little Skywalker was very "guai" and did not cry for a single bit throughout the whole evening. He was happily standing in the trolley while I pushed him around Jusco. The one thing he failed to do was went "yeehaaa!" on that wild ride. He also got a chance to ride on some "super-bikes" that was on sale there! Kinda cool looking!

Oh yeah... did I mentioned the haze that was going around? It finally spread to our place on Saturday evening. It was so bad that we can even sensed the burning odor in the air. That was the reason we chose to eat in Jusco (indoor) instead of our usual steak house (outdoor).

Sunday morning was no better, the haze remained and ruined my plan (again) to bring Little Skywalker to his favorite playground. He was so undecided on what to play last time around and I thought he could be better in decision making this time around. But the haze just has to ruin everything!

Due to the haze, we continued sleeping until around 10am. Oh! How I love Sunday morning. And you know why? Because this is the only day of every week that J and I really get to see the cheerful and fun Little Skywalker!! Our daily hectic routine (which includes Saturday as well because J has to work half day) is not easy for Little Skywalker as he has to wake up (or being disturbed) around 6am every morning. Hence, Sunday is the only day where everyone get enough sleep and wake up happy.

He is a real darling on Sunday morning. Three of us will spend at least half an hour stretching our lazy ass in bed and listen to Little Skywalker talking and mumbling. We really enjoy his company at his best mood. That half an hour of Skywalker really put our whole week of stress behind us instantly.

Something unfortunate happened late in the evening though. Jenny was out to opposite our house to "ta-bao" our usual dinner, but somehow she felt dizzy and was about to collapse. Maybe it was fate that made her came back and took her phone with her before she went. Or else, I can't imagine what would happen.

She called me and I just took off with Little Skywalker in his bike (just kidding). This is the first time I am driving without J and with Skywalker sitting at the passenger sit. We did not get a baby's car seat (how regret was I), however, I managed to reach J with one hand on the wheel and another hand holding Skywalker still. Little Skywalker was good at first but started to climb about within minutes. We managed to get J into the car and got her to a clinic later. Little Skywalker was very understanding as he did not move about and sat quietly with J on the way.

The doc said J has a very low blood pressure (90/50!) and she needed to drink more water and should not rush into something after sitting or lying down for too long. He said he cannot do anything to bring J's blood pressure up as he only know how to bring it down (such nonsense). He only gave her some pills for her dizziness and one day MC upon my request.

J felt better when we arrived home. Maybe is the haze that is doing something to her, or maybe is her monthly thing. We tucked into bed early but I still wake up a few times in the middle of the night to make sure J is still OK. I bet she must be wondering why did I waked her up a few times with all sorts of excuses. Kinda worried that she might fall into a coma somehow :P

As I said, a long and eventful weekend to remember...
