Visit the doctor in the evening, after her school. She is very excited about going to the clinic, keep saying "I want medicine".

The doctor gave her 2 bottles of medicine (the white one which we know she like, and the orange one which we need to force feed), and some cream for her rashes.

She insist on taking the medicine straight away in the clinic. To our surprise, she is OK with the orange medicine. Took the syringe, and squeeze the medicine into her mouth herself.

Weng Yee turned drug addict. After feeding her the medicine at night, she insist on taking another dose. Keep crying, chanting "I want medicine", resisted our hugs and try to run towards the table, try to climb up the table to reach the medicine. Struggle for half an hour, finally began to cool down. Mama tried to talk to her and reason with her. Mama asked: "Do you want Mama to beat you?" "Do you want Mama to get angry?" "When Mama is angry, you don't talk to Mama, you don't touch Mama, you don't hug Mama." When Weng Yee heard the last question, she hugged Mama tightly and tried to control her weeps. Then Mama began her lesson with Weng Yee and ended up with "Do you want Mama to cry with you? It is already bed time, you have to go to sleep now." Weng Yee obediently pull Mama's hand to the bed, and sleep.
