DO YOU NEED HELP?

Putting this out here just in case. For my own reference too when one comes to me.

Otherwise, please do DM me if you have concerns. Especially if you are an unwed mom who needs help.

Lots of love,

Daphne

Where one can find help:

List for contact if you or someone needs help. This is also organisations that work to help and support women.

If you’re an adult who has experienced sexual abuse as a child, know that you are not alone. No matter what, the abuse was not your fault. It’s never too late to start healing from this experience. Regardless, if you are male or female, and, would like to know where to go for help, we have compiled a list of organisations that will be able to provide advice and/or counselling.

The list here is not complete and some may do child advocacy or women's advocacy only but some do both. Do check. Thank you.

Bless you.

We had our flu shots this week as Ella Grace prepares to go back to school and start a new term! ❤️🎉

As a family that travels a lot and with Ella Grace and mama’s asthma, we feel it’s important as a family to be protected and that includes popo and nounou too!

I’ve attached some quick facts on influenza in English, Malay, and Chinese (swipe to read and share) but some additional notes I would add are:

* The vaccine does not completely prevent the risk of influenza as there are many strains but does significantly reduce it.

* It takes at least 2 weeks for the vaccine to be fully effective so take it as soon as possible. We usually take it in October when the new composition comes out but for some reason or another, we totally procrastinated this year.

* It’s important to take a yearly flu shot as the makers collate the 4 most popular strains of the previous year for influenza A and B.

* Pregnant mamas are also encouraged to take it as it not only protects them but their baby will also be covered for the first few months of life.

* As soon as your little or you start showing signs and symptoms of influenza (severe lethargy, high fevers, aches and pains, general malaise), start on antivirals (tamiflu) ASAP as the quicker you can get it in your system, the more effective it will be.

* For little ones, if your pharmacy is able to do so, opt for crushing the pills vs the liquid form as I find the nausea to be significantly less. Also taking anti-nausea meds 30-45mins before administering each Tamiflu dosage will keep your child more comfortable.

* Influenza A & B is brutal on both adults and little ones. They feel awful and honestly, your heart breaks a lot. I’ve attached some info on emergency warning signs as complications can make it fatal.

* DO NOT take ibuprofen (neurofen/voltaren) for fevers unless you’ve consulted an up-to-date knowledgeable pediatrician as cases have shown it to make the infection worst. As much as possible, try to treat fevers with paracetamol.

*Prevention is cure so flu shots and good hand washing practices are still the best. ❤️

****
As for how we prepared Ella Grace for her flu shots using the PLEASE tool:
PREP
Talk about the flu vaccination - what it does and why and whatever else they might want to know about it. Be honest and talk to her about what to expect. Don’t lie that it won’t hurt (our amazing Dr Rakhee also changes the needle to a much smaller one so it was significantly less painful!), we also talked about previous experiences w her pediatricians and she was also very delighted that our whole kampung was going with her to get our shots together. We had this conversation a few times leading up to it so it wasn’t a surprise and in fact she was skipping to the hospital.

Physically also make sure it’s a good day to get it done - eat, sleep, not under or overstimulated, that is half the battle sorted! If the wait is long, bring along a few activities or even better, use that time to connect and play together.

LISTEN
Ask if she has any concerns or fears or anything she’s confused about. We switched the location on her (we were meant to see Dr Rakhee in her other office in Baby Beyond Publika but did it at Ara Damansara Medical instead)

EMPATHIZE & ACKNOWLEDGE
As Ella Grace sat down at the chair, she started getting nervous that it would hurt so I held her in my lap and genuinely empathized that she was feeling scared and unsure, that she didn’t want it to hurt, that she didn’t want the jab anymore.

It’s also so important for you to remain calm and confident. Take breaths together. Even if I don’t say anything, she knows when I am scared, tense or nervous but if I am present and calm, it helps her to feel secure and calm too.

SIT
Empathize and acknowledge “You’re worried it will hurt” and then stop there. Don’t dismiss it, invalidate it, by saying “but it’s nothing, it won’t hurt, etc”. Allow and trust your child to experience her feelings so she is able to fully move through it and it will help so much in the long run esp for future dr visits because she’s processed it fully in a safe space.

Sitting with your child while they express their feelings through tears, words, tantrums, in whatever way they need to is so important. It’s holding space and boundaries for them with love.

It says in so many ways, you are safe. I got you. I see you. I love you. I am with you.

EMPOWER
Only when your little feels safe and loved can they use their thinking, logical, rational brain which helps them take ownership and find solutions. Remember also that it’s whatever makes sense to them to give them a sense of control in the things that they cannot control that is pivotal here.

For Ella Grace, it was a silly unicorn headband to help her feel brave that she then insisted would help everyone else too. 😂❤️

A sense of control was also allowing her to pick her bandaid (Frozen Anna & Elsa of course), the order of who would go first (she opted youngest to oldest) as well as “helping” Dr Rakhee and letting her watch the procedure.

You got this, mama! Let’s keep our babies and families protected! 💪

***
We went to our favorite pediatric vaccine specialist Dr Rakhee (she practices in Baby & Beyond Child Specialist Clinic Publika and Ara Damansara Medical Centre) she’s the best and most knowledgeable on vaccine schedules for travel as well as developmental but you can also go to your favorite family doctor or pediatrician etc. Just call before to make sure they have stock esp if you’re bringing your whole kampung at once too!

The side-effects vary according to individual but ours ranged across from body aches to lethargy, headaches etc for the first 48 hours which is a walk in the park compared to full blown influenza.

I also feel it’s super important to note that with influenza season coming to its peak, please remember to take all preventative steps at the clinics and hospitals when you visit as it’s a Petri dish! 😅❌😷

Hope this helps in getting the info out to your loved ones.

☂️ Day 20 Updates

To be able to see him smile warms my heart ❤️
Daddy is finally "online" again after a 38.7C fever yesterday.. with gout as combo 🙈
Once again fever has subside, but the legs is still swollen from his old friend (gout) visit 😐

(As updated by bro..)
He was on morning shift today while mom went home to rest after a hectic week..
And when daddy woke up, he asked "where is mummy?"
(Oh well, if daddy knows how to ask about mummy's whereabouts, it means that's the usual him. He's online 😂 that's like the standard question everyone in the family always ask 🤣🤣🤣)

Bro then told him, "mummy is resting at home"...

Then few minutes later, a doctor came to check on daddy and their conversation goes like this..

Doc: "where is your wife?"
Daddy: Surprisingly dad replied him in English, "she is resting at home".. 😍
(omg the real him is slowly coming back uh 🙏✨
Sometimes when he's offline, nurse speak in malay he will reply in hokkien 😰 )

Doc: "who is this guy?" (Referring to my bro)..
Daddy: "my handsome son"
(🤣 omg the humorous daddy is making its way back too and hey! He CAN recognize my bro now!! 😍😭)

Doctor then proceeded to ask dad to exercise up and down on his ankle (the left side with gout) and dad was struggling with it.
Doc: Good!
Daddy: *laugh* and replied "Nothing yet why good?" 😅
(you can probably imagine his trademark expression with raised eyebrow😜)

Looks like things are going well..

Tomorrow daddy will be going for his MRI + MRA..
May God continue to bless him for a speedy recovery 🙏✨

From 2 scoops of milk powder every 3 hours has now increased to 6 scoops. YAYYY! 💪

Thank you everyone for your love and support ❤️🙏✨

God bless! ❤️❤️❤️

「あの料理は美味しくない」と完全に否定するのでなく、「あの料理はそんなに美味しくない」と部分的に否定する時は英語でどう表現するのでしょうか？“that”や“too”を文章に加えるだけでOKなので、今日のコラムで使い方をマスターしてぜひ次回使ってみてください！

☆ネイティブっぽい英語を話すには必須フレーズ「It’s not that」☆
ネイティブは会話の中でよく“It’s not that ~”という表現を使いますが、これは物事を完全に否定するのではなく部分的に否定をするときに使われる表現で、「～というわけじゃないんだけど」といった意味になります。自然な英語を話すのに役立つ表現なので、ぜひ覚えておきましょう！https://youtu.be/LxXJNBwkOz8

My friend Evan and I, two white guys who speak extremely good Mandarin, some Cantonese, and a little bit of Fuzhounese, went bargain hunting and haggling at the dry goods and vegetable markets of NYC Chinatown. A veritable market spree! We walked up to various Chinese vendors, started speaking with them in English, and then switched over mid-conversation to Mandarin and Cantonese (and Fuzhounese once or twice!). Their reactions were hilarious! Hope you enjoy this day in our lives! And hopefully this is helpful to you guys in your language learning journeys!
