Every time I never fail to loathe the pre-Lunar New Year weather. It has always been dry and hot especially up in this tiny island. Rainfalls are limited during this period and I am so thankful that my confinement is over!

I have cut down all the cookies and chocolate from his diet (he complained that he don't get yummy treats in his bento now!) to avoid him from getting fever.
Therefore, this mommy has to be more hardworking now. Beside dishing out the regular 2 meals a day, I still have to boil some 'cooling' tea for the family.
