a late start to 2009

oh great. it's the middle of January 2009 and this is only my first post of the year!

as you can probably guess, i still have my hands full, which greatly explains the lack of activity here since i love to write.

anyway, i had a crappy new year celebration. literally. on christmas eve and new year's eve, i was hit by food poisoning. it was a sheer waste of the holidays since i was stuck home and spent the next few days visiting the loo on a frequent (almost hourly) basis. i really don't know what i ate that made me sick, but it definitely wasn't stuff i ate at my 5th aunt's (on christmas eve) or at uncle long's (new year's eve) since i was already ill then.

a quick update: xian's started primary one at st. nicholas' girls school and she's still trying to get used to waking up at 5.40am. she's to rise early since her school bus arrives at 6.20am. wen's now in the nursery class at st. paul's church kindergarten.

unfortunately, both the older girls caught a viral fever and throat infection last week and both had to miss school for a couple of days to rest. and on wednesday night, we'd to rush wei to the paediatrician at 7.40pm as she showed signs of being the 3rd victim of the bug. the poor baby's lost her appetite and voice though she's slowly recovering.

more details will follow when i can find the time to write. in the meanwhile, here are so photos taken on new year's eve at uncle long's as we got together to usher in 2009.
