An unwelcome 'tan'

Kids + water = lots of splashing fun

That's a sure axiom..........

Datin Seri Maggie C. ('datin seri' is like an honorary title bestowed upon successfull people...something alike Lord and Lady title), was kind enough to invite us over to her weekend retreat high up in the cooling hills far away from the bustling and hot city (remember....we live in tropical, humid Malaysia with a year-round 32 degrees C temperature).

And it's also a convenience that the Datin's 2 kiddo's are about the same age as our 'dragon' girl. We, adults, did our own thing, destressing ourselves from city-life in our own manner whilst the kids do what kids normally do.....play, play, play and play. Conveniently there was a swimming pool at the premises and hupsakee.....Laetitia spend a few hours in the pool under the glaring, hot sun.

We asked her to come out of the pool, but to no avail, she was having such a great time that she stubbornly refused our request......ow, ok.....like that?

Anyway, we did manage to pull her out of the pool...her eyes all red from the chlorine, skin on her hands resembling an old granny's hands.

But, oh my G@#!,....... the sun was merciless on her.......her uncovered parts of her upperbody were all red like a lobster....SUNBURN!!!

Ofcourse after a few hours she squeeled like a piglet about to meet her fate in the abattoir....nothing much we can do about it expect to put some soothing lotion on it and let it cool down the burning sensation. Her skin will be tender for the next few days though...like a roasted suckling piglet. On the plus side though, dead skin will peel off and she'll get a new coat of skin.

That should teach her a lesson for disregarding her parents' wisdom !!!
