it’s a month after the baby born. sherrie and the baby are fine.
it was a noisy visit. we have 6 kids / 7 adults at their home. hope the baby didn’t mind :)
while i was in mumbai for business trip, jayla got temperature as high as 105F and confirmed she got lung inflammation.
she is now in canossa hospital and her temperature is now stablized. however, doctor said she have to stay in hospital until tuesday the earliest and make sure she is 100% recovered before she can go home.
no worry everyone, she start jumping and shouting in the room. she is fine :)

no worry. it’s not H1N1.
toppy got flu first. next day, it’s me. finally, it’s jayla. only markus and maid can survive :)
jayla has temperature for 3 days and was as high as 40C. jayla recovered, but toppy and i got some problems on the throats. need 3 times medical consultation in 1 week :(
same to previous years, i made a christmas dinner for friends and enjoy at my home. last year, we got roasted prime ribs. this year, we got roasted lamb chop. lamb chop isn’t cheap ($40 per oz) but it’s mainly b’cos of christmas season. i managed to cook lamb so i can do it next time.

have been to tokyo 5day for biz trip.
finally, fixed a biz issue and no need to escalate to senior management (yes, it is serious if i can’t fix it).
have been to midora sushi twice. both ordered a set + favours. set menu could satisfy myself on every best pieces from the restaurant. menu have 2 most expensive sushi are currently my favours selling at @¥420: *extra* urchin sushi and fresh *live* shrimp sushi. *exta* mean urchin is as much as on the dish as well. *live* means when dish comes to our table, the tail was still moving. can’t resist to let those sushi on dishes longer but into my mouth.
also, try a restaurant selling natual eel menu over 160yr. lunch is quite expensive ¥3450 and this is one of few japanese restauant charges 10% service. to me, taste is ok, but may not realize cost ¥3000 for a set menu. menu have course over ¥10000.
It’s my 3rd birthday
