One Of A Kind

Tonight, I've attended Sally and Rox's wedding at The Courtyard Garden in Damansara Heights. It is one of a kind of wedding I've participated. They had kinda like English wedding reception, unlike the 9-course meal that I always had. That is why I decided to pen the details down in my blog here.
I was pretty amazed when I first stepped in the restaurant, the stairs leading down....with candles at the side. The whole environment was very cosy and romantic of course. I told everyone this is the kinda wedding reception I wanted, but I married a Chinaman, thus no choice, got to follow the traditional way.....hahahahahahahaha......but NO REGRETS!

Menu of the night

The dinner started with an appetizer, soup, main course and dessert. I took a shot of every dish, except that the soup part, I forgotten, so it is not so nice.

Appetizer


Soup (sorry, not so nicely taken)


Main course, either salmon or chicken


Dessert, I love this!


Wedding cake

Yi Shin is the MC of the night, big applause to him, he did a great job. I like to join all these weddings, I love to be married and I hope more and more people would join my group. It does bring back lots of good memories when I had mine though it is carried out in different ways. And during the dinner, Andrew and Yi Shin were talking about proportionate love. They asked if I love my hubby more, or hubby loves me more. I seriously can't answer. And then later on, I said, my love now goes to my girl, and lesser on my hubby. I believe hubby feels the same too. My girl is now receiving the most amount of love from both Mummy and Daddy........how lucky!
With that, I wish Sally and Rox congratulations, glad to see you are both married, love blossoms and may you both can have your own baby soon and join parenthood life as what we are enjoying now.

GOOD GIRL, ANGEL!

Rang up MIL a couple of minutes ago. Wanted to keep update of Angel's progress these two days. MIL was talking and laughing at the same time, recalling her activities. Today, Angel woke up at about 5am, then sleep till 9am, bathe, drink milk and continue to sleep till 12 noon. She continued to sleep the whole afternoon and now only awake. Angel, Mummy give you A+ today. GOOD GIRL.
Passing motion was all right, except that she is still not used to sit on potty yet. MIL commented that once she put her diaper on, she will pass it on the diaper. Hahahaha.
I said to MIL, when I come back next Friday, for sure she will change alot. I didn't hear her voice this round, she must be lying comfortably on her bouncer, while being served by my FIL like a queen. FIL introduced the method of patting her backside which me and MIL strongly disagree. No choice, FIL is taking care, perhaps he felt comfortable with this and try to make her happy and sleep well.
Good night Angel. Mummy and Daddy are missing you very much....we are counting down to next Friday.

I wonder.........

It has been 2 weeks since I started to work. Lots of things to catch up, with additional two new projects. I wonder if I can cope especially after CNY, when Angel is back with me and hubby. Nevertheless, life goes on and my heart misses her even more.
I called MIL yesterday noon. I asked if she was ok. As I am down with fever, flu and sorethroat and we spent the day with her, I wonder if she will get infected. Thank you Kuan Yin Ma, MIL said she is very well. In fact, she said Angel has been very good the whole day, eating and sleeping well. MIL said rest assured that she will take good care of her. Hahahaha, she must be thinking that I am worried and had no confidence with her. I explained that I called just to ensure she doesn't fall sick.
I wonder what is Angel doing now? Usually by now, she would have taken her milk and MIL would either bathe her or wipe her body and get her changed. I wonder if Angel is awake or sleeping now. I wonder if Angel misses me as well. I do, very very very extremely missing her. Friends and colleagues have been saying that I must have enjoyed not having to take care of my little girl. They also suggested me to change my mind to let my MIL continue to take care of her. Still in my mind, if MIL is staying here in KL, then it will happen. If not, I got no choice but to bring her back. Life's going to be tough though, but I want to be involved in her development and growth. I want to be the first to see her smile, laugh, walk and so on and so on. I believe hubby will assist and support me in her up bringing. We would be a lovely, supportive husband and wife, caring father and mother.

Evidence of all her smiles - 16 Jan 2010

Our trip back to see Angel!

Friday is the day I am waiting for. We are going back to see my baby dearest. I woke up very early to ensure I reach office early and finish work early. Right after work, something happen. Our car brake is not functioning. I do not know what happen. I slowly drive to meet hubby and we found a mechanic shop in the Jinjang area. It turned out to be the brake pump at the back tyres were faulty. And it took 2 hours to get them changed. Luckily it happen just in time, if we were in the middle of way home, accident might just happen. Kuan Yin Ma really bless us....we arrived safely in Teluk Intan.

My first glance at Angel, she look different. Firstly, her hair grow longer, second, she looked so innocent. Probably she didn't recognise me yet, but I quickily call her, I guess at least she recognise my voice. MIL said it is about time to drink milk as she started to make noise already. After feeding, she refused to sleep and lied down on the bouncer. Her legs started kicking more compared to previous weeks. I chatted with her and each time I finished a sentence, she would say "ah, ah, heee" AMAZING. MIL said she started to be talkative already.
The next day, I spent my whole day in the house with her. I let her try on the two shirts which my colleagues bought for her. And of course taken lots of photos. She got her first red shirt for the year 2010, and she looked good in it. Angel must be wondering, why this Mummy always changed my shirt. Hahahahaha.....
This week, I also noticed that she is bubbly than ever. She shouted at us a few times, we were shocked of course. And MIL commented that my little Angel does has her own temper too. I was so happy seeing her smiling and laughing more and more. Photos were evidence of all her smiles. She also learnt to sleep on the side already. Good progress.
FIL told me that Angel would be a very pretty lady next time. Of course we did not say in front of her, but he often said to me he likes to look at her, so cute!!
We went back 10am this morning as I had a wedding lunch to attend. Angel had her bath and was on milk when I went back. I told her that I will only be back in two weeks time, this coming Sat, another wedding dinner to attend. And also in the following week, I can have additional day off, Feb 1. I will have more time to spend with her. She will of course change again. Hope and hope she will eat well, sleep well and be a happy go lucky baby. Mummy loves you!! Muackks!

Angel's updates : 12 Jan 2010

Last night, her last feeding time was 11+pm. After drinking, Angel was reluctant to sleep until 1am. She woke up at about 7am today, had milk and continue to sleep until 10am. MIL put her on potty, she didn't want to pooh pooh. But right after putting on diaper, she straight away made her big business. This little girl ar, naughty naughty....
MIL's friend came to visit her today. She commented that Angel look mature at her age. She cries like big girl, not like infant. Hmmm, must be the DHA, ARA, SA thingy.
As I talked to MIL, I heard her crying for attention. She wanted either one to carry her up. I knew that by hearing her crying pattern. How good if I was there. I wondered if she is missing me. She must have heard my conversation with MIL. Just that she hasn't learn to speak yet. I felt the connection is there, my heart connects with hers!!!! Love you Angel! And good night, sleep tight ok!!!

Angel's updates : 11 Jan 2010

Right after work today, I gave a call to MIL. She said she just gave Angel water to drink. Angel is kinda shouting and scolding and continue drinking. Hahaha, this is her usual response whenever I gave her water. She would reject and shout alittle, then continue drinking. Sometimes, she will continue to sleep.
This morning, she slept until 7am, last feeding time was 11+pm last night. Such a long break, I wondered why. MIL then confessed that she gave her extra milk, she must be thinking that I would be angry...hahahahahaha.
She let her to sit at potty again, but no result. Hmm, how would she look like?? Now seating here at home without her around, it feels so so quiet. Angel, Mummy extremely miss you!!!!! If only you can listen to me.....
I went through photos taken yesterday evening as we were in the car, found few ones which are very adorable:-

First Day at Work!!

11 Jan 2010, my first day of work for the year. Hmm, what's the feeling like? I couldn't sleep well the night before, missing my Angel. Used to wake up during midnight, now no more, at least for these few days.
As expected, my e-mail box has been bombed with lots of e-mails. My desk was full of papers too. We are now in the midst of closing for Quarter 4 2009, which is why I need to quickly get back on track. The stress is slowly slowly coming to me again......
Still I'm glad that everyone in the office welcomed me back. Some of them complimented my figure, thank you very much. I also received gifts from them, they comprise of:-

• My Dear car seat
• 2 pieces of shirt from Mothercare
• Lamaze Play & Grow, Logan the Lion
• Bumble Bee Baby Headbands
• Lovely greeting card

I MISS HER!!!!!

Yesterday, we reached PIL's hse in T.Intan at about 6.30pm. Angel was looking around in the house, wondering where we took her to. After getting her changed, we placed her on the bouncer and we started to chat with each other. To my surprise, for the very first time in my life, she shouted cheerfully, like requesting for attention. Hubby, MIL, FIL and me had a shock and LOL. She is officially 2 months old and right at the start of her second month, she shouted out. Hahahahahaha, she continued to shout out a few times and smiled alot alot alot of times whenever we called her name. We were so happy!
She slept until 6am today. I bathed her and feed her with milk. After lunch, we took her to the Giant hypermarket which is newly opened there and also Pasaraya TF. As usual, she loves to look here and there and MIL was very pleased to see her being so active and alert. I started to feel sad as we will leave for KL very very soon. I told her, "Mummy's going back KL to work, will come back during weekend to see you. You must be good, sleep with Ah Ma and drink milk." She just keep quiet and listen.
We left T.Intan at about 3.30pm. Hubby and I were chatting on our journey back and shared the moments we had with her for the past 2 months. I couldn't believe that I am now married and blessed with an angel. It seems like yesterday I was pregnant and today Angel is with us.
Hubby called MIL as soon as we arrived. According to MIL, she let her to sit on the potty and she passed motion. First time on the potty and I missed it. Haiiii, I miss her so so much!
I am looking very forward to this Friday. We will be driving back to see her!!!! Pray hard that she will sleep well and enjoyed her days there with Ah Ma and Ah Kong!

End of Maternity Leave

Today is the final day of my 60 days maternity leave. Hmm, time flies super duper fast. Of course I never would want another round of maternity leave in the following year. Just that after such a long break, I don't feel like going to work. And tomorrow, we will fetch Angel back to Teluk Intan. Why? She will be put there to be taken care by my MIL until CNY. Hubby is reluctant to give her to babysit before she turns three months old. I got no say, I just have to follow.
I do not know if Angel can get used to the new environment or not, I just have to pray that she will be comfortable and be good staying there. On and off I have been telling her hoping that she will understand. Hubby and I will be missing her alot. I wonder if I can sleep at night without her by my side.
What would my days like without Angel?

Hubby made me breakfast!

This morning, hubby made me breakfast, toasted baguette with margarine. It is the first breakfast he made ever since we tied the knot. Though it's simple, I felt happy eating them with a cup of Milo. Both of us have been busy taking care of Angel, not forgetting he has to work while I am still on leave. Before he left home for work, he keep on reminding me to eat them asap. Thanks darling!

Queen of My Heart!

Sunday was the last day for all the Christmas, Year-End, Mega Sales. Since we have not get any CNY clothes for ourselves, hubby took me and Angel to Midvalley to look around and also to buy stuff for his sister.
As we were in the car on the way there, we were chatting and talking about our little girl, to my surprise, hubby said Angel is the QUEEN OF MY HEART! Wahh, I never thought he can said out such a phrase.....THUMBS UP!
I got the chance to look for my clothes at Isetan Gardens, while hubby taking care of her. Bought three pieces of shirts. On and off Angel is sleeping in her stroller, so it is ok. Then we went over to Midvalley to look around. Unfortunately, hubby did not purchase anything that day. Hahahaha, good news as he is always the one purchasing all the time and this time, save up.
The other time when we were in Midvalley, Angel was asleep. So this time, we took photos of her with the Christmas deco again.

On Monday, hubby was off work and at home. I was out for awhile to buy things. And for the first time of his life, he cleaned up Angel's pooh pooh. He told me straight away via handphone. I asked him how he felt, he said he was ok. He knew sooner or later he need to do it anyway.
Angel is now learning to look everywhere. She like to look at colourful things and also moving things. That is why she is always very good sitting in the car seat whenever we bring her out. Yesterday night, Hubby talked to her and to his surprise, Angel seem to respond to him. She is smiling cheerfully nowadays, and know how to melt our heart out. Her crying patterns varies according to her request, either she wants milk, sleep, attention or pooh pooh. Haiiiii, really BEH TAHAN!!!

Happy New Year 2010!!!!

Happy New Year.........new year with Angel this time, felt so much different. Of course no more outings like before, hubby also cut down on his outings alot and paid full attention to Angel and also our 'bird nest'. I spent my last few minutes of Year 2009 mopping the floor and at the strike of 12, I carried Angel to the balcony and we watched the fireworks display together. Everywhere there is fireworks, hubby on the other hand busy capturing photos of the fireworks.
Coincidentally, this new year is also hubby's grandma's Chinese birthday. Therefore, my PIL made a trip to visit her and of course her beloved granddaughter, my little girl. All relatives gathered at fifth aunty's house in Alam Damai, Cheras. Her house is a corner house, Balinese style. Hubby loves the house as there is a space for landscaping which he loves the most. And my Angel is in the centre of attention, everyone taking turn to carry and talk to her. I felt so proud....
Hubby took alot of photos there, I shortlisted a few:-

Angel with Ah Ma and Ah Kong

She enjoyed her day there!

PIL stayed for a night at our place. Today, hubby fetched us and his sis to the Golden Triangle KL. First stop, Pavillion KL. Angel as usual turn into sleeping beauty. Hubby took the chance to take photos of her parents since they didn't come here often.

Notice my first shot with hubby and Angel. Now I felt what it is like to have a family of my own. They walked and shopped around in Pavillion. After changing Angel's diaper and finished feeding, she woke up and hahahahaha, hubby started to snap snap snap again.

Below shots are the funniest of all. I noticed that Angel started to like photoshooting already. She made so many funny faces in front of the camera.

May in this year, we will be blessed and healthy always, and Angel will grow to be a pretty, healthy, charming lady!
