Outing with "gor gor"

Dinner date with "gor gor" Marcus!!

Hectic..hectic..hectic..

It has been a terribly hectic week for me!! Going back to work was just terrible for me.. Not just mentally but physically too.. Age has definitely caught up with me.. I no longer could stand the long hours of walking and standing as before.. Getting myself to sleep on foreign bed was also difficult for me even though I was "dog tired".. And to think I have not even started flying pacific!!! Really can't imagine how terrible that would be...

Blogging will soon be a luxury for me as off days in Sin now will be spent preciously with my darling Princess..

So much has happen in the past week..

Darling Princess finally has her first tooth!!! 19th April 2007..

Was really sad when I heard the news that day as I was not the first discoverer..But I soon learn that this was a fact that I had to accept, that as a working mother, there will be many of her first I am going to miss..

Princess has also learned to say "mama" in an almost perfect way!!! 27th April 2007..

The imperfection, looking at me in the eye and saying it!!! Hahaha..

Standing and walking 3 steps unassisted has been another achievement for the week..

All these in achievements in just about 10 days!!!!!!!UNBELIEVABLE...

My little one will also turn 10 months old tomorrow.. In just another 2 months, she will be 1..

I bought her a shopping cart from KL airport yesterday as her 10 mths old pressie.. Actually I had my eye on Little Tikes shopping cart but this one from Leapfrog is just so nice.. I also have not seen it selling in Singapore.. It actually comes with a scanner that teaches quantities, food groups, colours and numbers as it talks!!!!! A little pricey though but I am pretty sure the little one will like it.. I also bought her the Little Touch from Leapfrog for her last week..

Seems like I am a Leapfrog fan!!!

Princess wans to be packed too!!

"Mummy's pressie for me!!"

"Mummy brought me to UE square.."

Thanks to the mummy on SMH who gave the "lobang" on making posters.. Look at this one that I made for the little Princess.. I love it and the little Princess luvs it too!!!!! she babbles at the pic everytime she looks at it..

I am going to make a real BIG BIG one on her birthday!!

Back to reality..

Today is officially the first day of work.. Back to reality.. Learning to say goodbye will always and has never been an easy thing.. Though it sounds ridiculous to many but for me to say "bye bye" to my girl is really difficult.. I feel guilty leaving her at home to the care of my helper when this should be my job.. I will probably no longer witness her first steps, first word and many other firsts.. But in order to live more comfortably and bring the dough back, I must learn to let go..I tell myself that it will only take just another 1 year, then all will be better.. I believe many mummies out there experience the same feelings as me.. I pray that my girl will still recognise and want me each time I come back from my long flights..

Clapping..

Ever since the day we came back from Marcus and Celincia's birthday, my little Princess has been clapping her hands every now and then..
It all started when we sang the birthday song and I was putting her hands together while singing happily. She thoroughly enjoyed herself clapping her hands and from then onwards, whenever we sang or asked her to clap, she would do the action over and over again... Wat an achievement..

sucking on straw..

My Princess has picked up the skill of using the straw today!!! Was at Mom's place with the little one and while I was enjoying a packet of Vitasoy, as usual, the curious darling wanted to play with the straw..so as she was sucking on the straw, suddenly I realised that she had a strange look on her face.. She managed to suck up the soy milk!!! hahaha.. after that attempt she discovered the skill of drinking from the straw.. I am so proud of her achievement.. Seems like I will have to get her a new sippy cup..

Celincia's & Marcus's Birthday

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL..
THE BIRTHDAY BOY..

08th April 2007 was the 1st birthday of Celincia and Marcus.. It seems like yesterday when I was preggie with my kakis and now the two little ones have turned one.. And very soon, my little one will also turn one in two months time!!!!
I am so excited will all the preparation for her big birthday bash...

Homemade Cupcakes

I made cupcakes today again!!! This is my second try and this time round.. with pretty icings.. oh my oh my!!! I am pretty proud of my work.. haha.. I have decided to make cupcakes for the Princess's coming birthday as I really wanted to be hands on for this party.. Actually I had already tried baking the cupcakes last sat but did not take any pics as I did not decorate it with icing cos I wanted to see if they tasted alright.. And they do taste GOOD!!! haha.. so I am more confident this time round and with my sis's help, "ta da" look at how cute my cupcakes turn out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I shld change the colour of the icing.. They look boring as compared to the blue that I made... Hmm..

SEE!!!! Even the little one can't RESIST the CUTE cupcakes!!

MY FAVORITE PIC

This is by now one of my favorite pic that I have taken.. I just remembered that I have not posted this pic to share with u guys.. Enjoy :)

Am I turning CRAZY??!!

Today is yet another crazy day for me.. Me getting frustrated with everything and everyone.. it seems my temper is flying and striking at lightning speed these days...
Am I turning to be some kind of monster from hell or WAT!!!

I really should get back to work soon.. I really need some breathing space of my own or I will soon become real unpopular with everyone.. Mom and sis are right.. I should go out now and then alone to get some breather.. I NEED A BREAK!!

As much as I would like to be left alone for some reasons, I am pretty reluctant and hesitant about leaving Princess to my helper's care.. I do take breaks.. I go facial once in about 1-2 mths and when I do.. my mind is all about the Princess.. if she is sleeping.. eating.. playing.. crying..

Haiz.. wat am I to do??!! I feel so helpless and weak.. God, please give me strength.. I am so drained up..
Anyone has any super strength miracle juice.. HELP!!!
Tears well up on my cheeks so easily nowadays.. I am turning into a weakling... I hate that..
And I really hate myself for showing and throwing all these anger in front of the little one.. but it seems the harder I try to cool it.. the more difficult it gets...
I really dun want my girl to have all these bad images of me showing all that anger.. Its such bad influence..

I MUST I MUST I MUST LEARN TO COOL IT!!!!!!!! CALM DOWN GIRL!!!

9 months today!!

My little one turns 9 mths today and we brought her to Dr Ong for her second pneumoccocal jab..
Poor thing.. Screamed and cried her lungs out..
Think this is the worst jab that she ever got cos she was really SSSSSCCCCREEEAAMING!!!!!
But thankfully she cooled down after some hugging and singing from me, mummy dearest..

I was really surprise when the doc told me that it is better not to feed baby with "mee sua"... As it contain plenty of salt which is no good for the little one..
""oops oops""
I fed the little one "mee sua" yesterday cos I thot she was bored with porridge.. Think I should just give continue her with simple foods until she turns 1..

Today is not a good day for me..
In fact everything s**ks.. Met the worst driver, had to handle little one's screams and cries, problems at home!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haiz..... This is one of those days when I really wish that I was back at work..

My poor baby did not have a pleasant day with mummy today...
I AM SO SORRY...
Mummy promise to make it better tomorrow, the day after and all other days as they go along..

walker

We went to Marina Square today in search of a walker for our little Princess as I felt that she is now ready for one.. There wasn't much choice at kiddy palace and only one caught our eye. An orange colored, space looking walker.. We put the Princess in it just to make sure she likes it before making payment.. Look at her face and u Know she likes it!!



Before leaving, I just couldn't resist putting her in the jumperoo for some pictures.. She loves it too.. But no way, was there space for another jumperoo.. Sorry darling..

A Daddy's Love

We brought the little one to toys"r"us yesterday to get birthday gifts for Prince Marcus and Princess Celincia. We walked about 30 mins before deciding that we should get them the same gifts..

Which saves more trouble.. "heehee"

In the end, we bought 3 of the same toy cos hubby felt that Leia will like it too!!!

As we were about to walk out of the store, something caught hubby's eyes..

IT WAS "T.M.X Elmo"!!!!!!!!!!

When hubby saw it, he asked me if we should get it for the Princess.. I was caught by surprise cos the price was $99.90!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which I felt that it's pretty costly.. But my hubby, without even battling an eyelid, went to the counter and got it for our little one!!

This was just one way of showing how much he dote and love our precious baby..

I dun mean that by showering our baby with an expensive toy was loving her, but hubby has always been careful with spending money n his action, kinda touch me.. Cos no amount was too much when it comes to spending it on our little one.. And knowing that Leia loves Elmo, Daddy just want to get it for her, if it was within our means..

Yet another "Ba Lu Ku" today!!

It's our monthly meetup again yesterday.. Yesterday we were off to Glenda's place and it was fun as it's been real long since we last catch up.

It has been donkey years since I last visited Glen's place and the last time I went there was not even married.

And now my baby girl is already 8 mths old. Haha..

How babies grow!! Princess Celincia seems to have lost some weight while Princess Trischa seems to have grown quite a bit. Looks different from the previous time I saw her. My dear Marcus boy is still as observant and quiet as always. Prince Aidan stayed at home cos his good friend Princess Giselle wasn't able to come..

A wonderful spread was prepared for us by Glen's mummy.. Thank You..

I believe our next meet up will be on Prince Marcus's and Princess Celincia's birthday..

OLD PICS

Just wanted to add more pics to the blog.
These are pics of family and friends who came to see the little Princess when she just arrived..

Hugs and Kisses

For the past few days, my little Princess has been showing me her signs of love and affection towards me.

3 days ago, she gave me a hug and kissed me on my lips!!!
This whole action left me in a state of shock.. I was simply touched and no amount of words could describe my feelings.
She did not just kissed me once but twice when I asked her to do it again.

"BABY, MUMMY LOVES U SO MUCH!!!"

And today she caught me by surprise again, by planting a kiss on my lips while I was carrying her.
How my baby have grown..
This is such a priceless wonderful moment..
And I am hungry for more..

YoGURT..

After some recommendations from some mummies from the SMH website, I went to Cold Storage to get this bb yogurt for the little one.. And she really likes it, she can actually finish one whole cup..

Princess went SWIMMING!!

MY FIRST FLOAT : "mummy got me this float from the baby taka fair.. it's tweety bird from looney tunes..."

"Dada will take me swimming.. Mama will take me pictures.."

"Dada DUNK me twice..but i am a BRAVE girl.. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!"
