I Want To Take Annual Leave

When Gerard didn't want to drink his milk for nearly 10 hours and was wailing so much this morning, frustration and fatigue from all the attempts to feed him finally made me broke down. Funny thing was, when he saw me sobbing, he stopped crying to stare at me. He frowned and looked bewildered since we always showed him our smiling faces. However this lasted for about 10 secs before he resumed howling. As for me, I stopped crying because it's my turn now to be amused by his reaction.

Hiaz, I really want to take my "annual leave" to lie in till lunch time, go shopping for MY OWN clothes, go for spa, go for facial or generally to relax. Unfortunately, this is a privilege which new mothers don't have and I really miss it. But then again, we gain some and we lose some and that's life, isn't it.

Our First Reunion Dinner

While many of our friends in Singapore and HongKong were either sleeping, playing mahjong or watching late night tv programs, we were having our first reunion dinner together.

For the year of Rat, I wish my Gerard to be happy and healthy and will love us as much as we love him.

Happy New Year

I would like to wish everyone a very happy new year and may the year of Rat bring you lots of good luck and fortune!

PS: If you would like to send me your Ang Bao, please contact either my mummy or daddy for our address. :-)

Time flies and Gerard is almost 7 weeks old, which means I have not had a nice long and deep sleep for the same period of time. My eye bags are as big as the shopping bags we get at Ikea and my dark eye circles are as dark as the espresso we drink.

But when I saw these looks on Gerard's face, all frustrations and fatigues have somehow disappeared and I felt energized all over again.


When I was writing my earlier diary, Gerard was sleeping on his "milk pillow" on my lap. He seemed to be sleeping very soundly, so my balancing must be pretty good.
