introductory -Blast from the past...

Hi readers...sorry again for not posting for a while... a lot has happened this month..... my hubby got sick of dengue fever... and i'm moving in to my new house....

i know that this blog is supposed to be about glamour and luxury... but my readers said that they feel more connected when they read stories about my real life experiences... 

...For those of you who doesn't live in south east asia.. dengue fever might be unfamiliar to you.... it's basically a dangerous fever caused by a virus carried by a mosquito..... you need to be bitten by the infected mosquito to be infected.. and if that mosquito bites another person.. that person will also become infected....


anyways the symptoms are much like a regular fever.. but much worse... your whole body aches, especially your bones... ... and you sweat like crazy...(at least that's what my hubby said)... i've never actually got dengue fever.... but hubby got it twice..(how lucky) lol..... the first one he recovered at home, but this time it was much much worse....

He was so sick he couldn't move from the bed... and i had to feed him plain congee...we finally decided to take him to the hospital.. (he was hesitant at first coz he has no health insurance)

It was sad looking at him .. he had the fever for 3 days and didn't take a bath... he smelled really bad.. like a hobo.. lol... i know i shouldn't be joking about it.. but the doc said he's gonna be fine.. just a lil dehydrated...

I had to stay at the hospital at night... and sleep on a very VERY uncomfortable couch... (hubby insists i should stay with him because he gets scared sleeping alone @ the hospital).. maybe he watched too many horror movies ?? -_-'  

anyways i got really tired because it's hard for me to sleep at a comfortable bed... let alone a hospital... and the scumbag hospital also didn't let me bring my own blanket. pillow and guling... pfffttttt... they gave me a blanket but i was so rough..(made with a towel like material)...

and the food.. don't get me started.... it always arrives COLD... and so bland and tasteless..( i get that a hospital is not a 5 star hotel) but the food is beyond horrible.. i keep sneaking in food from the cafetaria so that my hubby could eat.. lol 

anyways by the 7th day.. i was soooo tired from the lack of sleep. N plus hubby had to put on bed rest so he can't walk anywhere.. i have to fetch him the stuff he wanted.. .. he even had to pee in a bottle and i have hold it up.. TMI? sorry ;)

.. one day i was so tired i got up from the sofa with my eyes still half closed.. and ran into the wall(yeah pretty stupid i know)... i ran into it so hard that my toe nail came off (the pinky)... :(... 

at the end of the hospital stay.. i went and got a facial and mani pedi.. i felt like i needed to pamper myself.. i was so worn out... 

anyways this is supposed to be a pre-introduction to my blog .. which is tittled blast from the past...

i am going to talk about the things during my childhood that i still remember to this day.... (movies, food, books, things).. coz i was feeling nostalgic after re reading a goose bumps book(anyone still remember RL stine)? lol

but since i have to move in in 5 days.. there are a lot of things i needed to prepare , plus i have to manage the maids so that they can clean the house efficiently, buy air conditioner/tv/fridge,.. etc...

so i'm going to end this blog post with this... and probably post the next part in 1-2 weeks... stay tuned readers!!!!
