Etonhouse Sports Day 2008

One year flew by and Mama was anxiously waiting to attend the Etomhouse Sports Day this year. Why is that so? As Mama was busy and missed it last year. This year, Mama told herself that no matter what happens, she must go and support Gwendolyn, as this is the first time she wears her PE uniform! In the morning, Mama dropped Geraldine at grandma, before joining Papa at Lyn Lyn's school. Mama got both cameras and digital video recorder ready to take Lyn Lyn's grand entrance...however to notice that she's not feeling very well. Trying to encourage her to participate, she tried going one round on the obstacle course with her friends, she was actually feeling extremely tired with no strength. You can see from the way she was finishing the course that she was actually very sick...

After all the practising before the actual day, Lyn Lyn could only barely complete 1 round of the course

Without forcing her to go for the other games, Papa quickly carried her back to her classroom to collect her stuff and Mama used the thermometer to measure her temperature, she was running a high fever of 38+ degrees. Mama quickly informed Ms Jo and Ms Jam and we quickly rushed off to Uncle John. At Uncle John, her temperature was as high as 39.6 degrees and she was feeling terrible.


Lyn Lyn was really so unwell that she could only lean against the seat in the car...luckily, she was very willing to drink water...she knows that water is very important when she's not feeling well!

After seeing Uncle John and collected the medicine, Papa and Mama brought her home and took care of her for the whole day...she refused to eat anything and cried whenever she feels unwell...poor gal...running such a high fever, Mama removed her clothings and kepts sponging her for half an hour, whilst Papa and Mama pampered her with unlimited TV shows...however, she was so unwell that she asked to stop watching, as she was feeling terrible...after initmate care for the rest of the afternoon, her temperature has finally gone down and she returned to normal, talking and watching TV again...Phew...what a relieve to Papa and Mama...

After Lyn Lyn is well, Mama went to pick Geraldine from Grandma...and Papa brought Lyn Lyn for some food...they went to IMM to look for some Udon, which Lyn Lyn had asked for. But it was too late...the only thing available was only McDonalds...still, Lyn Lyn was such a good girl that she's only had a kid's meal's corn cup and didn't ask for anything unhealthy...

With both Geraldine and Lyn Lyn home, it was a really hectic day for both Papa and Mama...what a sighed of relieve to see Lyn Lyn all bubbly again, returning to her cheery own self!
