Medical Woes : Trigger Finger

My mom suffered joint pain in her finger a few months back. She couldn’t lift her ring and her little finger without pain. Initially we thought it was early onset of arthritis so we gave her off the shelves supplements that contained glucosamine chondroitin msm but when that didn’t seem to solve the problem, I brought her to the clinic instead.

When I brought her to the doctor, she was diagnosed with what is called Trigger Finger. Apparently Trigger Finger can happen due to one or both reasons.

Old age though you can get it as early as 30 years old and/or  Overuse of your fingers, through a lot of hard work. (my mom used to have a food stall) or typing or even texting!

My mom was given an injection to bring down the inflammation and luckily for her it worked and now she has full use of all her fingers again. In severe cases, surgery would have been necessary.

Cheerio…

Music Monday : Unpretty (TLC)

Don’t ever let other people tell who are you, how pretty or  “Unpretty”  you are, because at the end of the day, it’s what you think of yourself that matters. Whether you wear Prada, or something you buy at the flea market, those are just decoration for the exterior you. The interior you needs to be beautified with knowledge, ethics and humanity. .. let that be who you are…

Happy Music Monday People!! Have a great week ahead!

My New GLAM Bag

When we came back from errands today, I saw the PosLaju van at the lift lobby and I immediately knew that either my Egyptian cotton robes or my Glam bag has arrived.

You see, I’m expecting a few packages this week and one of them was a prize that I won when I joined Emila’s contest recently. Emila mentioned she was going to mail the handbag out this week. I was super excited but was worried that I may already have missed the mailman so we rushed upstairs. True enough I saw the notification note that the mailman has left at our front gate. We missed him by 10minutes. However since the van was still downstairs, I grabbed the note and rushed downstairs and waited by the van. lol.. And true enough, 5 minutes later he arrived. He was still around because he had another delivery on the 9th floor!

So yeay I got my new handbag and a cute little notepad with a kitty picture of it.

Thanks so much Emila.. I love my gifts! Muahs!

Planning

I’m trying to see this dessicated coconut incident as a positive thing. The kitties are probably trying to tell me to not take in so much junk food and look for diets that work and exercise instead through housework. So I’ve got my housework face and clothes on, my vacuum ready but wait, I’ve not even had my coffee for the morning. Ok Ok LJ.. take it easy.. take a deep breath..

1. Clean the kitty room first
2. Put the kitties back in the kitty room
3. Clean the human room

There.. we have a plan!

Dessicated Coconut Everywhere

We were supposed to to to Temerloh today for a wedding but Nina got suddenly sick yesterday so we decided against going. But then when I woke up this morning she looked better so I went back to sleep fully intending to wake up before noon and yet here I am just just only waking up. Then A told me to not be surprised when I went left the bedroom and I thought what happened right? Well apparently the kitties got hold of my Sagon yesterday and now the whole house is full of Sagon everything! Oh now not only do I have to worry about searching out weight loss pills that work, I got to worry about searching out dessicated coconut on all corners! Arrghhh kitties!!!

Everything Flowers

What woman does not like flowers right? In fact for Raya my mom spent a good whole afternoon looking for flowers to decorate the house for the special day. I, myself, love receiving flowers especially if it’s a surprise kinda of thing and not just for special occasions. Flowers really do liven up a space. Don’t believe me? Don’t you think this post is just super lively because of the image of the flower?

Though many ladies prefer roses, I much prefer lilies especially the the white ones. By the way do you know what the different flowers may mean to  the person you are giving it to? Well check out the list below so you don’t go wrong ok 🙂

Roses:
White means innocence, purity, beauty and charm
Red means passion and fiery love
Pink means grace and happiness

Tulips represent an undying love
Daisies stand for romance and innocence
Lilies symbolized feminine sexuality

Ok so now you know what they mean.. go get some flowers for your loved one soon ok!

The Rainy Day Quiz

It’s been raining here the whole afternoon and I love it.  It makes the air so fresh and clear and in turn that makes me feel refresh and rejuvenated. It’s also a good excuse to curl up in bed while reading or snuggling and if you need to work and look for cheap health insurance, then just make sure you have your cup of coffee next to you so that you don’t have to leave that warm bed… and check out this quiz and see how the rain makes you feel.. I know it makes me feel HAPPY 🙂

Rain Makes You Happy

You tend to move slowly, but you still get a lot done. You are steady. You are down to earth and practical. You like to live an ordered and organized life. You have high expectations for your life, and you’re sometimes disappointed. You wish that things were easier. You prefer to be around people who are familiar and trusted. Your best friends are your oldest friends. You find peace when you are with your friends. Your friends support you and calm you.

Blast from the Past: My Office

I was going through some old pictures and found this one of when I was still a young career woman of 25 in Singapore. I loved that cubicle as I had a very nice huge window behind me that overlooked Shenton Way while the rest of my colleagues (except for the other Executive Assistant that was sitting next to my cubicle) only had wall to wall cabinets for their view…lol.. I also loved that whenever I needed to think about the monthly reports that comes as part of my finance job scope at the end of the month, I can just swivel myself to face the window and it’s like I’m at another place altogether.

Ahh.. a blast from the past indeed…

Moody

Sometimes I feel so moody that all I want is some peace and quiet and most times that ain’t so easy with 9 kitties that is constantly demanding attention in the house. One will want to cuddle, one will be screaming her head off because she wants so to be an outdoor cat and one will be trying to sneak into my spare bedroom each time I go in and grab something. At times I feel like I have a house full of kids instead of just cats!

At such times, I wished we had one of those huge bathrooms that can accommodate a Jacuzzi or a huge bathtub. I can then put in some bath salt, light some aromatherapy candles and put on some nice soft music and just while away my time as I feel the terrible moods drifting away and nice energy rejuvenating me instead.

Speaking of bathroom, I’ve always loved huge bathrooms that I can fit a shower and a bathtub into. I’m a shower kinda girl but a bathtub holds so much more potential when one is trying to get into a better mood. Interiors fixtures like the one that can be found at betterbathrooms dot com can also help create a nice ambiance.

My Dream Bathroom

Anyway.. back to my mood.. I think I need a nice cup of hot tea and some donuts but where am I suppose to get donuts at this hour? sigh!!

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin

You Are a Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin

You are smart, sophisticated, and savvy. (ahaha.. i like to think so ) You love taking risks, and you are the first to know about new trends. ( I want to bungy jump. risky enuff?) You are curious about the world and tend to have many interests. (I do) You also are very talented. It sometimes seems like you are good at everything. (so many things I still need to learn) You are very social and inclusive. You’ll be friends with anyone. (I accept you with all your flaws.. coz I’m not perfect too ) Even though you’re very cultured, you’re not a snob. (what’s there to be snobbish about?)

What Kind of Muffin Are You?

Drama Queen LadyJava

I was going to transfer some images files to Miss Fly so that I can show some pictures of fashion jewelry to mommy when I’m back in SG, but she won’t switch on.. It’s like.. It’s like.. she’s dead! OMG!! OMG!! Miss Fly is DEAD.. again!

Yeah yeah.. drama queen LJ.. haha.. but seriously she is not switching on at all and I think she is seriously ill. Lucky for us, she is still on warranty till January next year so we will be bringing her to the service center.. AGAIN… to get her checked out. Unfortunately, this means I won’t have any internet access at all while I’m back in SG next week! OH NO!!!!!!! ..

Hmm.. I wonder if I can use my prepaid SIM card in my phone and still access twitter and facebook? hmm..
