Has anyone else ever experienced spending too much time on the bowl, getting hit by a severe case of pins and needles 30 seconds after standing up and falling over?
Not saying that it happened to me just wondering…

So I’ve been experiencing a long bout of allergic reactions (and I have no idea what’s the trigger) for a couple of months now. I had no idea what caused them until I had a conversation with my wife yesterday in the car.
I was commenting that I would have known her for 10 years by next year and she replied that we’ve been married for 7 years already (from the registration of the marriage). This was followed by the question of whether I have the 7 year itch.
And I certainly do. As evidenced by the rashes that pop up every 4-5 days if I don’t take the anti-histamines.
Therefore the answer to the question “Why do I itch” is that it’s because of my wife.

Got a mild scare today when Caden was getting his bath. We noticed a huge swollen area at his chest that seemed to have appeared overnight.
What followed was everyone running down to see Dr Yip and getting him a chest x-ray (at 4 months!). Thankfully everything turned out fine and it’s just normal “bone struture” according Dr Yip, although we’re still trying to figure out how it appeared mysteriously.

I’m starting to think I like taking pictures of lizards cos they don’t move much.

My wife asked me the following question today. Apparently it was given to one of her collegue’s kid (a primary one student) in a math test for a measly 4 marks.
The question:
A Hen costs $6
A Rooster costs $3
Chicks are $0.1 a piece.
How many Hens, Roosters and Chicks do you need if you have exactly $100 and the sum total of Hens, Roosters and Chicks must also be 100?
Yeah, I couldn’t solve it via algebra or any other mathematical method I knew. In the end, 2 minutes with perl and a text editor solved the equation in 2 seconds but bearing in mind the average P1 kid is not going to have a computer during the test (heck, not even a calculator), I’m baffled at why this would be a math question.
Anyone who knows how to solve this mathematically, drop me a note.

You know it’s gonna be a tough day when you start the day falling out of bed.
So I was woken up by Caden crying next to my bed this morning. I look over and the wifey is not there…hmm.. probably in the loo. So I scramble to put in his pacifier before he wakes up fully (which I can tell from the rising screams).
Since his bed/rocker/dunno how you describe it thingy is next to my bed, the nearest exit happens to be the foot of the bed; which I head for; and step on the edge of the (platform) bed; and somehow slip; and land on my ass.
As predicted, it was a lousy start to a lousy bug filled day.

Which way are you going?

I keep getting pantyhose ads and there was no mention of that prior to this entry so what gives?

Right after I posted the previous entry, I buy the new paper and whats the headline story? About a woman who got her appendix removed when it was fine. How freaky is that.
