Welcome, Dyanna Haslan!

Today at 13:28, there was a new addition to the family - DYANNA HASLAN - daughter to my brother and sis-in-law! Congratulations, you two! And well done, Rozi, it must have been tough work! But it was totally worth it because Dyanna is BEAUTIFUL!

Anyway, my parents and I went to visit them at the hospital this evening. The new grandparents totally doted on the little one. I wish I could cuddle her but am still a little sick so have to refrain for the time being. Ah well, I did manage to get a photo with Dyanna-chan...

So given my brother's interests in comics, you can guess where he and his wife got the name Dyanna from, right?! Hehe... I think it's a lovely name, though I did warn my bro that I might just call her "Shazam No. 2", haha. Aniki was none too pleased about my plan, so I'll just called her that when he's not around, hehe. Just kidding, Aniki! ;p Anyway, syukur alhamdulilah to the safe delivery of little Dyanna! May she have a wonderful future ahead!

One of the coolest thing I've seen...

So my cough is back with a vengence. Trying to see if my will can fight against it with a bit of help from some meds, sigh... Anyway, a colleague of mine told me about this live concert by the Black-Eyed Peas (who happens to be one of my favourite music groups), really cheered me up during this miserable time. You can view the youtube video here. Hope you'll all enjoy it too - it is just coolness to the max! XD

I'm off from work till next Tuesday...

...because I'm suffering from "rhinitis with airway hyperreactivity" - hehe, that's the verdict after two visits to the ENT specialist. I've been told that I actually don't have the flu or cold, something else is causing my postnasal drip to become overactive... allergens, most likely. Now the only thing to do is to perform an allergy test, but where to get one done? JPMC? I'll call tomorrow.

Anyway, I've been told to rest, but how to rest when I'm coughing constantly to the point that none of my food is staying down and I'm getting bad nose bleeds (four today, last I counted!). Sorry, Aniki, the chocolate pudding didn't stay! :p Methinks I have to start taking mostly liquid food for a while. Argh! My wonderful Japonica rice! :(

Oh yeah, before I sign off, I just wanted to share the photos of my Aniki's wonderful wonderful cats, though my most favourite is Shazam! Chi's adorable too, but a very nervous cat. Anyway, hope you like the photos! Cheerios!

"Shazam!"


Chi-ou (Japanese for "King Chi", hehe.)
