Early morning with confinement lady.

8.30am, Saturday morning. First meeting with our confinement lady from Ipoh. A friendly chat, light breakfast, and a long maternity shopping list together with a list of "do's and don'ts".

Langkawi !!!

Off we go... possibly the last fly-away holiday we'll be taking together for some time. We just got back from a trip to Langkawi this January with long lost colleagues of mine from Sweden and Malta. That was a blast. This time, a great value deal takes us back to our regular island... but for a quiet and peaceful escape in Burau Bay.

Fit to fly!

Testicles the size of his knee!
While Dr.Neoh was doing a good job of confirming manhood, we were more anxious to get our letter of fitness to "travel in a pressurized aircraft"

2 week episode of RASH!!

Like all itch related rash GF's been having in the past, a little of cool-burn ointment usually helps. Soothing, and distraction from more scratching, to allow it to recover on its own. However, with this one, the area and itch just seemed to keep growing!

31 Jul 2010:  Original itchy rash spots on ankle & behind knee

6 Aug 2010: Flaring up beyond original spots to whole ankle & area behind knee

9 Aug 2010: Dr.Zalmy (an ex classmate, now a dermatologist) recommends we stop our balms and ointments [left] which may be making it worse, and use medicated creams instead... and oh, there happens to be some at home in her cabinet [right]. By now, the rash has started to become more diffuse and less sharp.

11 Aug 2010: The knee seems almost recovered, and the ankle's original spot has returned to normal skin while the surrounding spread area is recovering.

16 Aug 2010: Just as recovery was almost complete, a little more flared up on the ankle and on the side of the knee... but they went away quite quickly with a bit of cream. Phew....
