善樂的成長

善樂成長的相當迅速。三個多月大的他看起來相似四個月大。善樂也越來越可愛了。雖然經常皺起眉頭﹐他的笑容也逐漸平凡起來。他媽媽說他起床後還會笑出聲音來。真是不可思議。 在這裡附上幾張他的近照供朋友們分享。

善樂這兩天生病了。這是他誕生以來第一次生病。上個星期四他有點咳嗽﹐進食有些困難。可是我們的家庭醫生看了他說他一切無恙。當天我就讓他接種第二次的六合一疫苗。那天晚上善樂就開始發燒了。

隔天早晨我們就帶他就醫。說也奇怪﹐他到了診所時燒就退了。所以醫生也沒有處方。到了旁晚﹐他的燒以達到38。5度。我們下班回家後就帶他到另外一間診所就醫。這次醫生給了退燒和舒緩喉嚨痰分的藥水。回家服了藥後善樂的燒就退了。可是他咳嗽就越來越嚴重了﹐進食也相當困難。都得過了一番哭鬧掙扎後他才可以吸食奶水。面對寶貝兒第一次的病狀﹐我們兩個新任的父母自然十分緊張。一早就帶他到婦幼醫院就診。經過醫生詳細診察後﹐確定他只是輕度傷風造成喉嚨搔痒咳嗽。肺部一切正常。醫生也耐心的解釋這病狀可能會持續一個星期。因為善樂還年幼﹐無法處方藥性較強的止咳藥。所以原來的藥還是繼續服用。如果一個星期後病狀還持續而且善樂呼吸困難加劇﹐就要回來復診。
善樂正在午睡。他似乎復原的蠻快的。咳嗽也有明顯的減輕了。希望他快快好起來。要不讓我們作父母的如何能安心工作。

Welcome 2007

After bidding farewell to an eventful 2006, isn't it time to welcome the year of 2007 with a list of New Year Resolutions? Well, I don't really have a habit of making New Year Resolutions. I think I will probably end up with motherhood statements that don't really mean anything. But I will try anyway.

2007 will be an important year for our young family. I just hope everyone around us stays healthy and out of hospital throughout the year. I had enough of hospital visits in 2006. Besides eating well, I got to seriously do some exercise to keep fit. I have not been exercising regularly for quite some years. My stamina is at its all time low. I will start with a twice weekly swim of 10 laps slowly increasing to 30 laps by the end of 2007. I hate jogging.

2007 is the year I am wearing the 'square hat' at the SIM convocation ceremony after attaining my degree in computer science. SIM told me the ceremony is going to be in the late part of the year. My Mum will be relieved to see me graduate. But my pursue for knowledge will not end here. In my free time, I will strive to keep up to speed with all the ICT developments and find ways to acquire skills in CRM and ERP software technology, as well as learning the .NET and Java platforms.

Attainment of my degree qualification calls for a review of my career options as well. Should I stay in MFA for job security and overseas postings or should I venture into the ICT industry where my passion lies? I will be 30 on June 24, 2007. With a family to support, a simple decision to pursue a career of my passion becomes complex. Anyway, 2007 will be a deciding year of my career.

Okay. Three resolutions will be just right. Not too many, not too few. By the end of 2007, I will look back and see if my resolutions worked.

To all friends: Happy New Year!
