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!

Angel's very own stroller!

Yesterday we bought Angel a stroller. It is the Maclaren Techno XT stroller. She brought me luck by winning RM250 gift vouchers from Parkson in the contest I entered when I was pregnant. And we thought with this gift, we can buy her a good stroller and can benefit the second child later. Below points summarise our worthwhile purchase:-

1) RM250 gift vouchers
2) 10% discount on the stroller price
3) 5X Bonuslink points
4) RM10 cash voucher for each RM150
5) Angpau from relatives and friends

Hubby and I compared among a few good brands and considered their specifications. Overall, we are looking for a light, easy to fold and convenient stroller. Given that our car is not that big, we would prefer an umbrella fold stroller for easier storage. And surprisingly, when we bought it yesterday, the promoter told us that the stroller does have lifetime warranty on its parts except for wear and tear. That is a good news, it makes our purchase even worthwhile.

More gifts for Angel!

Mum and Jason drove down to KL on Sunday to visit me, baby, Theng & babies, Yee Woon, granny and Aunty Ivy. Though the trip was short, but I'm glad to have all them here, felt like a family get together. Ha ha, hopefully next time they can come and stay longer. Angel also enjoyed the day too. Byan and Bhui grew up alot and it's good to see all them together with my Angel, they surely be close friends later on, can't imagine how's CNY going to be like with them three in da house. Mum and Jason went back at about 5+pm.
At night, Goh, Li Lee, Wai Jen and Simon came to our house. They bought Angel a set of bodysuit with accessories plus a baby oil and baby bath. Thank you all.

And yesterday, Francesca, my wedding makeup artist visited me. She bought Angel a diaper bag and bought me Brands Chicken Essense. I'm very happy to see her and we got to chat awhile. Thank you Francesca for the lovely gift.

Not forgetting, Yoke Kwan and her mum came a week earlier to visit me and Angel. She presented me with Anakku hamper as well. Thank you very much.

At night, we drove Angel to see doctor. She is 6.25kg now, growing at about 97% percentiles. Doctor said she is at the top now, but not overweight yet. He commented about her rashes on the face and also her head. He gave her cream to apply, shampoo and also body bath. Doc also examined her and what amused us is Angel stared at the doctor with her big eyes quietly. Hahahahaha.....I even showed doc the photo of her stool, doc said it is normal and do not have to change her milk brand.
Hubby also went to see her ex-renovation boss and he gave Angel an ang pau. Thank you!

Merry X-mas!!!

Merry X-mas!!! After attending Phaik Har's wedding in the morning, we brought Angel to 1U. I can't remembered how much time we spent finding car park. Hubby was so frustrated that he kept on telling Angel to give him luck. Hahahahahaha, after he pat her head, immediately there's a family walking out towards us and drove out. He was so happy that he actually believe her little girl gave him luck....lagi lah sayang!
Angel was sleeping as usual until I changed her clothings and diaper. She woke up and start to look around with her big eyes. I quickily ask hubby to get ready with his camera and our photoshoot session started........

On and off she will show her sleepy face. We both laughed out loud and she just kept on staring! Overall, this is so far the most satisfying photoshoot we ever had!

Angel is 6 weeks old!

Yesterday it was 'Goh Tung' festival and it also mark Angel 6 weeks old. Time really flies, I am about to start work very soon. No 'tong yuen' to eat, hubby didn't buy. But we spent the night snaping lots of photos with Angel. Can't upload all here, just a few to share. She really is growing cuter....


Though the first shot is shaky, but i love to see her face!!


Now we can see clearly, they both really look alike......jealous-nya!

And today, we brought her to PPUM for injection. She had three vaccination all together, one jab on the left thigh, one on the right thigh and one via liquid into her mouth. She did not cry much, just five seconds when the nurse poke the needle into her thigh. Good girl, I praise her....
She is now sleeping lesser in the day time, and would want me to be by her side or carry her often. I've been telling her not to do that and she just stared at me. And good news, yesterday night, after her milk at 1am, she slept until 6am. I was also surprised how come i didn't wake up, haha, not used to sleep for 5hrs straight......perhaps she is tired or perhaps this is the beginning of a normal sleeping cycle.....pray to God that Angel will sleep well at night from now on!

Angel's second day out : 20 December 2009

Yesterday we took Angel to Jusco Alpha Angle, Wangsa Walk Mall and Carrefour Wangsa Maju. As usual, she slept the whole time there. We went to Jusco and see some of the promotions they had there. I was checking on her clothings and thought to buy a few for upcoming Chinese New Year. I love all those dresses but didn't dare to buy as I do not know what exact size to buy. Hubby looked around and said children clothings were even more expensive than his clothings....Hahahahaha, I replied, "Now only you know ar!!!" We ended up buying nothing, hubby wanted to go and look for more choices yet..his attitude as usual.
At Wangsa Walk Mall, hubby spent me lunch at TGIF, replacement meal for my birthday and wedding anniversary. Angel continued to sleep too and both of us had some time together and enjoyed our meal. We went to Carrefour to buy some groceries and still she was sleeping....A Malay lady came up to hubby and commented on our cute baby. Then she asked him, "berapa bulan ar?" 3 or 5 months? Hubby just showed hand signal, 1 month. The lady replied, "wow, besarnya!!!" So funny......I even heard the promoters there praised my cute baby when hubby passed through them. I just felt so proud!
After that, we decided to bring Angel to shave her hair. The night before, my MIL called and reminded us to bring her to shave as her hair would be very long by now. Initially, we thought to shave during full moon, but couldn't as her head swell at the right side. As hubby was driving, he kept on saying he didn't want her to shave, not so fast. He was so reluctant to let her shave. I said better do it now as she is sleeping. Who knows, by the time we reached there, Angel woke up. It was also time for milk.....I fed her with milk and told her that I am bringing her to shave her hair, and told her to be good. She just looked at me with the innocent look.
During her time there with the barber, she didn't cry much, just 'merajuk' abit at the very last few minutes. Lucky for us, turned out to be both me and hubby were more anxious than her. We reached home and I quickily bathed her and changed.
She now look like a little monk. Hubby still wasn't used to see her new look now. He said he will take her photo everyday from now, just to observe how her new hair grows. The shots below were taken after her bath...
