Freedom

Since bb and maid wasn’t around. I’ve to be temp maid at the moment for my BIG baby at home. My days after work has been filled with some minor house whole chores like folding the cloths, tidying and washing some dishes. Well, I feel like I am back to before pregnancy stage where life was full of freedom. On another hand, I am much tired without bb around. I tend to sleep late and there are endless things awaiting me to complete. Hubby and I had started our CNY shopping; we even managed to have a hot date last night, catching “Memoirs of a geis ha”. It was a very beautifully choreograph movie, I really like it. I will be fetching bb tonight. Miss him so much.

Bb not with me

I have sent bb to mum’s place in P.Klang as my in laws has gone to Australia. He was having running nose and a little sore throat on Monday. He clang on to me like koala, knowing that I was gonna leave him there, he showe d manja faces. He made crying like sound as well. So cute! Mom brought him to see doc the next morning. He feels much better and can eat well now. Just gave him a call. Mommy: Bb, how are you? Have you been a good boy? Bb: bla bla bla blab la…….mommy…….. bla bla …. Mommy: Have you taken your Lunch?

Selections - Exploring Private Collections II

Some pictures from last evening’s exhibition. I used my hand phone to capture some of the paintings. I noticed my boss likes to collect some motherly theme. Here are some of them: It was an honour to speak to the CEO of MIA, Mr.Choong Kam Kow.To my surprise, he is such a nice and humble man to talk to. He shared with me how inspiration was derived for his dragon painting. It took him one year to complete this painting. According to him, even we live in the 21st century, high tech modern days, we still refer back to our own culture for advice, it’s in us, it’s part of our lives without us realizing it. A question: Do you think art is only for the rich and famous? Does it mean that the poor can’t appreciate art? What do you think?

Nerve-racking Friday the 13th

I had a nightmare last Friday evening. I was supposed to go Pasar Malam with mil, bb and maids but since I had a disagreement with hubby and wanted to talk it out so mil, bb and maids went off first. After my heated discussion with hubby, I stormed off to the pasar malam to buy some grocery for weekend. Still angry, while walking I bumped into mil. She was all nerves, I asked her what happened. She said two maids and bb were missing, she asked them to wait in front of the keropok stall while she grabbed some Assam Laksa and when she turned back they were gone. Worried sick, I called for them and also asked the keropok’s stall lady boss. All said no sign of two maids and bb. I walked up to the long and narrow road of the busy pasar malam, looking around anxiously. I almost burst into tears when I don't see them. The road was so busy, but my heart just dropped and everything seems so giddy right in front of me. I was so fretful; my mind started playing tricks on me. “What if bb got k

Bb's strength

This post is inspired by Zara’s strength. A few months back, we brought bb to Jusco for some shopping; he saw a box pop ’n build blocks from fisher Price that his daddy bought him earlier. Not sure why he was so attracted to it when he already had one at home which he hardly play. Puzzled! I told him “bb, you’ve got one home already, leave it”. Obviously he didn’t listen to me, I left him alone to see what he did. He lifted up the entire box which was almost his height then. He brought it to the cashier for his daddy to pay. Me and my maid was giggling non stop over his action.

Fun going under

I have been busy at home taking care of the little monkey. He has been very active lately. He used to go to bed around 9:30pm but not anymore. He would jump high and low, one moment throwing his doggie underneath our bed, other times digging the parquet flooring for the broken pieces. Jumping on our bed is another joyous moment. Once, he took one of my lipstick and there he put on some color to his own lips, I stopped him on time but a little too late to save my earth tone lipstick as he has broken them into two. He also dipped my eye-brow brush in the broken lipstick. *Shake Head* I must be extra careful; he stuffed his mouth a pack of silicon gel from a drawing kit last night. There I was reluctantly cleaning up ruins left by the restless little one. I am dog-tired! But again energized after a good night sleep and waking up to a little charming angel. Ar.....Life! bb went under the bed to recover his doggie and refuse to come out.

Accident

Not sure why nowadays I always go into dreaming or off mode when I drive. It’s scary I know but I went thinking about things and words just appear in my head. It’s like having a conversation with myself. Sometimes I even think of angry words to say to a person I don’t like. But those words were rehearsed in my mind, never been released a word out of my mouth. At times it seems very noisy in my head; therefore I need to tell it to somebody. I have started putting things that I can’t tell you in my new diary. That way, when I am stress I will feel better, it’s like having a conversation with GOD. Very serene! I am not feeling very good today. Just want to put off those noises. Well this is a different incident altogether, just to divert my attention from those unhappy thoughts. Let’s talk about what happened to me on the 31st of Dec, 2005. I drove hubby’s car out to grab some “tau fu fa” after lunch then I went on to a nearby neighborhood to rent a TVB series as there’s a long holiday an

Time with bb

Just to capture some development of bb. Lately, bb has developed a habit to poo at night before he sleeps. When he wants to poo he will shy away from all of us. He will go to a corner and suddenly we won’t hear a thing from him, silence. “Where is bb?” I will tease him. Usually he will gesture us to go away and refuse to leave his corner or cave until his business is done. Me: “Yee….smelly bb, come mommy wash wash” Bb: “No…” gesture me to go away Me: “Why? It’s so smelly, come go to the toilet, mommy wash” Bb: “Not yet…” shake his head hard. Me: “ok, ok, when u r done, tell mommy okay?” Bb: "okay" I continue closing my eyes resting on bed while bb roaming around that small corner in our bedroom quietly. Last night, after washing, cleaning and changing, it’s time to sleep. Bb came very close to me, very caringly put her sweet mouth on my nose and kissed gently. He repeated it two times and smiled before going back to sleep beside me. So sweet, my heart melt, I sang to him and

Ciao 2005 and Hello 2006

2005 was a very different year for me in terms of my career. Well, perhaps career is not the word, just a job now. A job from 9am to 5pm, no over time, pay reasonably. The best thing is there wasn’t any pressure or thought of work after work or weekend. Therefore, I could spend more time with bb and family. Even though it was a very easy and steady year but I am still not very satisfied with it. Lately I have started to think again and ask myself, “What would you want to be?” There is an answer deep down inside trying to reach out to me. I think I am listening, listening to it very carefully. I hope it could be materialize in 2006. Bb has been cheekier than ever but he is easier to handle than before. I am feeling more relax now than before. Used to fear having another baby but may be this is a good year to conceive. Just received a piece of good news from Hazel, she is pregnant with the second one. Congratulations Hazel! Hmm…now I have the itch in me to have the second one but it depe
