I was having 5 days off continuously, as last Sunday was BB sitter's daughter's Big Day, I took off day to take care my boy in order for BB sitter had time for the wedding preparation.
Today is the first day back to work.... Tired... Why? Slept at 3am last night. Slept late not because of taking care of my boy, he dozed off early and slept soundly till morning!
Then why 3am??? Bad habit is back - Lazy to sleep! My friend really amused that I have this kinda bad habit. I don't understand as well. I just felt sleeping is wasting time, crazy me! >.<
Wondering what I did till 3am? hahahaha... I think you will slap me after I disclose. I was playing SUDOKU! kekekeke.... really crazy me!
I was damn sleepy and tired now! Keep yawning. Regret of sleeping late last night. I know you will say me "dei sei"
Haiiii....... Office can't Facebook and Youtube make me more sleepy.... What can I do??? Later in the afternoon need to visit customer! Must take a nap during lunch hour! kakaka...
Haven update my blog for quite some time ^,^ Tired + Headache... Doctor just advice me to take more rest, nothing can help T_T
Just trying to get more rest and sleep together with my boy. He sleeps around 930pm every night. I will co-sleeping with him then my husband will call me up and back to my room to sleep till morning.
So... I sleep almost 9 hours everyday! But head still spinning.
Luckily my boy is a caring boy. When I told him "mommy headache" He will come to me, saying "hug mama" and gave me a kiss or use his little palm to pat pat my head. It was sooooo sweet to me....

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again, whether you drink coffee or not.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying A word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.
Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see." "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma the daughter then asked, "What does it mean, Mother?"
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its insides became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. "Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
This is one of my favourite movie. Even though a few years back movie, I will watch again and again and I still can't stop myself crying when I saw the below part. It's a very touching movie. I LOVE the songs, the artist, the stage, their dance...... Everything!
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of COFFEE and an assortment of cups; porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal; some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite.
He told his guests to help themselves to the coffee.
After everyone had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress."
Be assured that the cup adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it just more expensive, and in some cases, even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was COFFEE, not the cup.
But you consciously went for the best cups…….
And then, you began eyeing each other’s cups to see who had the best one.
Now consider this;
Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain LIFE
And the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.
Savor the coffee, not the cups!
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything.
Herewith some photos of our neighbour with baby around my little boy age. Of course there are more than I know. But... Mommy is too SHY to talk to them. Thought of the opportunity comes when my boy started to walk. Thought of my little boy will start to approach those toddlers, so that mommy can start a conversation with them.
Yet, this little boy just SHY like mommy. Whoever new to him, he will just stunned there, dare not to step forward. Ended up, just three neighbours here.
It's fate that I quite close with the little girl's mommy; the 2 photo on below. She was born 1 day after my little boy in a same hospital ^_^ Both of us speak cantonese, which make me feel closer with her. She is very nice & friendly. No doubt she is a good mommy! She will bring her little princess walk around the swimming every Saturday & Sunday! No missed at all! My little boy likes her and don't feel SHY to walk toward her, shake hands with her and hugs her! While the little boy of the photo on the right with the kiddy motor bike is a Vietnamese. Due to his father is working in here, they stay here since 2 years ago. He is exclusive breastfeeding! Maybe is about breastfeeding, we got more topic to talk. ^_^
While the handsome boy of the photo on top was taken a few months back. His daddy from UK, mommy is Malaysian Indian. He is so handsome and the eyes are so adorable! Just met him once while their parents were back to Malaysia for a 2 weeks of holiday.
I really hope that I can overcome my shyness and get to know them more. As I know their toddlers are about my son age. I do hope my little boy has more friends & neighbours to play with when he grows up. SAD to look at his loneliness.
Damn lazy to get up from my bed this morning after the 5 days of holidays. My boy and I were hugging each other; he laid on tummy while both my arms were rounded his body. We laid lazily on the bed till my hubby came into the room and called us up.
Consequense: I was late to work today =p...
For the past holidays, we had a wonderful trip to Kuala Lumpur (KL) with my dad & mom, visited my sister who stays in KL. Will blog about that if, IF, yes, IF I got time to do that ^_^
p/s: To all my dear readers & followers, sorry for my "disappear" again, again & again =p... Hahaha...
No matter how busy am I today, I must jolt down everything happened last night. It was a wonderful night for me!
~ Just the 2 of us ~ Not my boy & Barney but my boy and I. As hubby had a conference call in the office and will back home late.
When we were home, I heat up the corn + potato soup for my boy, while he was playing with the floor mat. I managed to heat up the soup and mashed the potato without him, disturbing around the kitchen. What’s so fascinate about the floor mat?! Hehe… my boy likes to take out the alphabet and put back, and keep repeating this. Last Thursday, I noticed that he is able to put in the “N” all by himself.
I think this is one of his growth developments as well. Below is the only video I recorded while he was playing with the floor mat. This active boy can spend more than half an hour with the floor mat alone. By sitting there quietly, take out the small pieces/parts and put them in, keep repeating this again, again & again... By jolting down his growth milestones, he is able to put back exactly & nicely for a round shape, square shape, rectangular shape, alphabet "O" & alphabet "N".
Then, I fed my boy with the warm soup and potato WITHOUT ANY FUSS. He sat in his walker; drank the soup from the cup with my help, automatically opened his mouth whenever I fed him the potato! Wow… my boy was behave so well for his dinner and finished a small cup of soup and almost a potato! Wondering why is it "small CUP of soup"? Hehe… My cheeky boy just prefers to drink from a cup, even soup I have to feed in a cup instead of spoon feeding. AND… He doesn’t like to feed by SPOON.
After his dinner, it was my turn, just as a MPSP, finished all the leftover (Potatoes, Pork, Corns) of the soup. Bryan opened his toys box, took out his toys and played himself. Babbling every now and then, as usual. Stacking again! Haha…… Maybe you will be interested to watch him stacking with the plastic cups below. He likes stacking game since he was 8 months and able to put in the ring stacker when he was 8 months+. Check out his clip of playing with his colorful ring stacker here.
Shower time! Before bathing, Bryan has to keep all his toys, definitely I will help him. He always a good helper at this moments, at this moment! My little boy followed his mommy’s order by helping to keep all his toys; put back all the blocks into the box; pick up his basket ball, football & rainbow ball all over the living room back into the box; put back all the alphabet accordingly. Then, he walked into our bedroom for bathing.
Took off his shirt and required him to put his dirty shirt into the laundry basket; he followed!
Took off his napkin and asked him to wee before bathing; he followed!
Turn on the shower, he requested for shower foam by opening his palm, then washed his little hands by himself while I busy washing his neck, back, butt, legs & arms.
Took a handkerchief to wipe clean his face and clean his gum and his only tooth, he opened his mouth wide for me. Good Boy!
Then, I put him in his tub while I quickly took a shower. My boy played with the cups again, filled the cup with water and poured out, squeezed those bath animals one by one, took them in & out from the cup as well.
Lay on the bed quietly for me to put on the ointment cream, put on his diaper & night gown.
Then, I asked him to help turning on the radio in order for me to clean the bathroom. Hehe… I know I shouldn’t let him play with all those electric stuff, but I just thought of the power was off, should be fine. BUT………… I heard music while I washing the bathroom, peek out from the bathroom, my son was sitting in front of the radio, both hand covering his ears. ^.^|||
HE KNOWS HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER AND PRESS PLAY BUTTON! Is it good or bad?!?!?!^o^
Reading time! Flipping his book as usual, showed him the flash card etc. Suddenly, my little one use his little index finger pointing the stool beside the bed as he realized that mommy’s mobile was there. So I showed him some of his video clips in my mobile. He loves watching his own video!
After watching a few clips, I turn on the song –寶貝from張懸. The lyrics keep singing寶貝, 寶貝, 寶貝 (bao bei) and my boy keep patting his chest! He was showing that “I am Bao Bei!” Muahahaha……. I always call him Bao Bei instead of his name, so “BAO BEI” is referring him as well. ♥ My Lovely Bao Bei ♥
Almost time to sleep, I thought of teaching him some hand sign before sleep, but my boy… keep signing “MILK” Watch the clip below. He is so cute when signing ^_^ Do not allow me to continue recording, he pounced to me for milk at the end of the clip.
This is the night when hubby was not in. My boy behaved so well, or I would say perfectly! No fuss when feeding, ate all the food I prepared for him, followed all my instruction, didn’t disturb mommy in the kitchen, kept his toys according, washed his hands himself……… I was so happie whole night; don’t even talk loud to him. Ya, he always make me shout at him, stop him from doing this and that. I knew that I should be patient, not to shout at him. But I think all mommies understood that we really cannot stop our loud voice sometime.
I hope my boy will act like yesterday from now on! Keep my fingers crossed!
