Off we go…

… to Singapore that is – in 6hrs we have to be up, get ready & go catch the train to Zurich Airport for our 12 hr flight to Singapore!

Tobias was sooo excited he could hardly contain himself – making himself more hyperactive than normal! He could not fall asleep till 11ish i think – i’m not sure we’ve been busy packing.

So now we are all packed & ready to go.

Oh by the way, thank you all for your well-wishes – we (Tobias & myself) spent the whole of last week ill – Tobias’ fever stayed around for a whole 7x days before it finally & completely went away! i had a better time – was seriously unwell for only 3x or 4x days. Anyhow, we are both recovered & well now.

i also found out that we have not been the only ones down – apparently there is a nasty bug making it’s rounds, as well as chicken pox. i would love for Tobias to get chicken pox asap – it’s one of those childhood illnesses that needs to be done & over with asap – less complications, less itchy too i heard. But not now, since we are travelling.

ok i’m blubbing now… time to go sleep, need to be awake in less than 6hrs.

1st Illness of 2009…

Yep we are ill – me & the little guy. The big guy is away in Dallas – it seems we always fall ill while he is away – sigh! Maybe we miss him too much??

Anyhow, Tobias has been having fever since Monday – it goes up & then it comes down – most of Tuesday it stayed way high – 39degrees. Wednesday morning was better but after a nap it went up again & stayed there during the night. Today after waiting the required 3x days & paracetamol was not working, we went to the doctor’s – our regular doctor is away so we went to another one – he & his wife were very nice – quite elderly – both of them – they should be retired i think but maybe they keep going with the practice to serve long-time patients & have something to do – such a Swiss thing in my opinion. He mumbles a fair bit but i made out that Tobias has a bad flu – we were given suppositories & nose drops – after 1x dose Tobias was all better – but fever has stayed though only at 37.9degrees. He also has a cough. The doctor was so sweet – he wants to check Tobias again on Monday to make sure he is all well.

Me – well, i think i caught it from him fast – or maybe i was already coming down with something – i started with the cough on Tuesday & now have a full-blown cold with runny nose & cold hands & feet – sigh! sigh!

Here’s a shot of Tobias, resting on the sofa (his rosy cheeks are from the fever, not the cold weather), his hand is on his forehead cos of a headache:

Ok time to go rest – sniff sniff… cough cough…

Mac vs PC – the eternal argument settled?…

A friend posted this on his facebook – it’s just too good not to pass on so here it is:

& for the record, i love Mac more than PC even though we are currently PC-users – but that’s cos we can’t afford a Mac. i have no practical reason for loving Mac – i just do ;p
