Birthday Cake

I am counting down to Ann’s 1st birthday. I know I know.. it’s a bit too early, but I just cant stop myself from thinking of it. Thinking of what birthday cake I would like to choose for her? A normal round birthday cake? Or a cake with cute cartoon design?
All I know is, whether the cake is nice or not, Ann wont remember when she grow up.. But if I got her a nice looking cake, and let her take photo with it, she will then get to see her nice birthday cake when she grow up.

Ok.. that’s right…and the birthday cake hunt started… but I only have one design in my mind, anything to do with the fat Winnie The Pooh. Other than that? No idea…

无聊的下午

坐在office, 早已经把工作完成了，看着时间一分一秒的过去，但是还是觉得时间过得真的很慢。也许是该发发牢骚了！孩子才刚康复，看看她生病的样子，真得很心疼，仿佛心在淌血。。还好。。一切已过去，昨天看着她又开心活泼的在玩着，我心中的太阳又重现了！是的，现在的心情是晴天！

最近老公和我都非常的忙，忙着家里的装修，忙着孩子的病，每每到深夜才能入睡。 才发现，我们最近好像很久都没谈谈情了。。以前一得空就谈情，除了谈情之外还是谈情，生活多写意啊。。现在呢。。别说他，我连睡觉的时间都没有，满脑子都是孩子的事。哪来那么多的精力来谈情，能和睦相处已经谢天谢地了！

昨天搭地铁的时候，看见一位大腹便便的孕妇，一时间我觉得她好幸福哦！脑子里突然在想什么时候我能为我的小宝贝给添加个弟弟呢？我也想啊，可是老公觉得还不是时候，叫我专心的照顾他那可爱的小宝贝就够了！

好了，不说弟弟了（好像一定会生男宝宝似的，晕倒！）。。回头看看周围的同事，好像全都沉醉在year end mood 了！年尾是嫁娶的好日子，单单是这周末，已经有两个dinner要出席了！忙得很啊！一星期七天，都排得满满了，天啊。。　还有啊，圣诞要到了，该怎样庆祝呢？我还没为小宝贝添加新衣，掺了掺了。。还没开始买圣诞礼物，够时间吗？我想应该够吧！

还有啊。。我的减肥计划不知道几时能成功。老公重是说我肥，可又说不用减肥。他说这样才像幸福的妈妈！是真的吗？

幸福

“以前，覺得幸福是甚麼？就是別人愛你，別人給你很多的東西，這是不一定的，一個真正有幸福感的人，他是一個時時可以發現生活裡面細微幸福的人。這才是真正的幸福。這個幸福，是你與生俱來的幸福。”

Little Sunshine @ 10 months old

Ann is now 10 months old. Yeah, she is growing up so fast just like all kids do. I never really used to take people words seriously when they said “My kids grow up so fast”. But now I realize how true it is. I now start asking.. Where my little baby has gone? She will become toddler very soon! I think I am going to miss her baby smell very soon! Anyway, she always melting me with her signature smile! Everyday spent with her made Mommy and Daddy better people!

Here is some update of her development milestones:

- walk while holding onto furniture.
- Can stand alone without holding anything.
- Waves good bye.
- Bang two objects together.
- Understand the meaning of “No” but always obey it.
- Know how to express her self with gesture and sounds instead of cry.
- Has her own memory, can remember where to pick up her toys.
- Dancing and shake body when listen to music from TV and when being ask by the word “dancing”.
- Object when try to take the toy away from her. Lesson I learned is.. instead of take away the toy/things away from her hand, just say “ baby.. please give mummy..” and she will give without any objection.
- eat bread, brownies, ABC soup, ice cream, drink Milo.
- Cry out loudly while mummy scolds.
- Grow 2 teeths
- Understand the meaning of “Give”. Will pass thing on her hand whenever being asked of “GIVE”.

New lesson

HUBBY SEE THE SAMETHING HAPPEN, HE GIVE ME A LESSON WHICH I FEEL EZTREMELY SHAME OF MYSELF! HE SHOW ME THE WAY THAT INSTEAD OF TAKE AWAY THINGS FROM BABY HAND.

Annabelle is going to have little brother soon?
Suddenly hate the weather so much, early morning keeps raining, no sunshine, PLEASE la... I need sunshine. Where is my sunshine?!

Can you imagine how stress I am? Well… how am I going to handle my stress? Something pops up in my mind... a song... “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make me happy, when skies are grey…” I am going to find my sunshine now, my precious baby girl...!

Although I am very stress, but I am not forgetting that hubby birthday is around the corner. YEAH... Wish a very happy birthday to my dearest hubby. I have prepared all the surprises to YOU! Hope YOU will like it!

感性

朋友留览了我的部落格，阅读后觉得奇怪。。为什么傻气及懒惰的我竟然变成如此感性了！其实啊。。朋友，我想说的是你啊。。一点都不了解我呢！别看我平时傻里傻气的，其实啊内心深处埋没了不少心事，在没人可倾诉的情况下，只好把感觉寄托在文字里！
岁月在我们的生活留下了不少痕迹，转眼之间，我们都当妈妈了！还记得当年，年少无知的我们。。做了不少傻事。如今回头一望，发觉我们都长大了！踏入社会工作后，朋友变少了，成家后。。别说朋友。。家人也都没几何相聚。有时想家了。。。想啊想的。。不知不觉眼眶湿湿的。。眼泪不受控制的滑下脸颊。。有时被老公发觉了。。好胜的我就别过脸，赶忙把眼泪给擦干。。笑脸相迎的告诉他：“没什么。。只是觉得疲倦了，想要休息。” 转过身假装睡觉以避开责问！
瞧瞧。。朋友啊。。你比我幸福，你的家人总是围绕着你！别误会，我可不是在埋怨，只是有想而发，提醒正在阅读着我的部落格的你，其实啊。。你们都很幸福的！应该珍惜眼前一切，停止发泄不满！想想你能为身边关心你的人做些什么！最后。。献上祝福给你。。我的朋友。。即将当妈妈的你，要勇敢噢！

节俭的丈夫

原本只想提醒老公买水果给宝宝吃，然而老公告诉我他将会去 midValley Carrefour。。原来那儿有 pampers promotion。结果他买了两大包！我问：”老公，为什么不是宝宝平时用的那个牌子?”
他说：”老婆啊。。我算过了。。那牌子没便宜。。这牌子比平时那牌子每片还便宜 15 cent。”
原来不知不觉的情况下，我亲爱的老公学会节俭了！
宝宝改变了他。他变的比以前爱呆在家，陪宝宝玩，迁就我，令我开心，可是我呢? 脾气还是和以前一样的怀，还是那么的小气，没有耐心！宝宝哭闹了。。我就向老公发脾气。我何时何日才会变成一个贤妻良母。。天才晓得！或许老公啊。。你就别再宠我了。。可是我又不舍放弃你的宠坏。人生就是那么的矛盾！

突然间。。

突然间，有一种感觉。。难以形容的感觉。。想向你说，可是不知道怎样开口。。
我有好多好多的事想要做。。我知道你会不认同我。。所以只好选择沉没。
在友人的眼里我是一个幸福的小女人，有个体贴的丈夫，可爱的女儿，快乐的家庭，可是不知道为什么我偶尔还是会有一种空虚的感觉。也许我的生活过于平凡，工作，回家，看女儿，睡觉，起床。。再工作。。怎么了。。我是怎么了。。

Shinning @ 7

My little girl is 7 months old! Please give a big clap for her! haha..

This is Life

One minute, you happy, thinking this will be the day that everything will be going smoothly. The next thing you know, that feeling was taken away from you. You feel very very very down and think “not so smooth after all..”. A few minutes later, you back to being happy and this feeling might stay until the end of the day if you are lucky

Why do I say lucky? Coz there are people out there who can’t stand seeing you happy what more enjoying life. Seeing you happy makes their day unhappy. So in order for these people to have a happy day, they make your day as bad as possible.

You might says I’m being ridiculous, it’s ok. I understand. But if you are in my shoes, you will understand what I’m trying to share here that why i always need to figure out what i can do forto enjoy myself and forget all the mean people around me

Plant at my work place

One of my colleague prepare a plant for me at my work place, you know who you are.. TQVM!

Yesterday when I was chatting with my friend Cherrie, I told her that I have a very strong feeling on baby Ann. I feel like I cannot live my life without Ann. This feeling even stronger compare with those feeling I have upon my hubby and my parents. I think baby Ann now is ranking on the top of what is important to me.. so.. Dear hubby.. please don’t feel jealous la..

Well.. my friend Cherrie, I knew her thru her online shop.. yeah.. I bought masks from her, she has a baby girl Daphne who younger than Ann 3 weeks only.. haha… that why we have so much common topics to chat of. She is very nice and friendly.

Ok.. lets see what baby Ann has achieve at 5 months and 2 weeks old! Last night when Ann was sit and playing on my leg, I try let go my hand, Ann can sit on her own already.
Haha.. Apart from that, she is very smart nowadays.. when I ready the milk, not yet start feed her.. just place her on the drink milk position, put the handkerchief, if she is not hungry, guess what she will do… she will pull away the handkerchief, twist her head far away then shouting and screaming, if I still not let go her, she will cry like I am torturing her. The cute part is, if somebody pass by, she will ask for help by showing her pity face.
