This morning recieved a call from my mother-in-law... Lincoln knows how to flip himself to his stomach!!!!
A milestone I say!!!!!
To see your child and to witness his growth day by day is one of the best things a parent could ask for. Nothing beats hearing your child going Arghgoogurrrrrgurrrrr and seeing him explore the world around him.
Watching him progress from milk to semi-solid foods.
Watching him trying to flip his tiny body to his stomach.
Listen to his baby language and all the cute facial expressions.
Watching him trying to stuff his fists into his mouth...
Seeing his face lit up when he knows he's going for a shower.
A lot of things I want to list down!!!!!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I miss him already!!!! I want to see him.... ;(

Yes, finally after so long.... I'm in here, blogging again... the past weeks had been sooo hectic, I haven't seen my darling lincoln in 1 week!!! ;( I'm going to see him tonight... I miss him sooooo much!!
I had sore eyes since last Monday, and then fever, flu, cough... all the bad ass sickness. Then still had to work after only 1 day of MC, cos the work load is too heavy and i had to come back and work... This Thurs is company's KL business trip and alot of logistics work had to be done.
And GUESS WAT....
I.....
Joined..................
A GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I joined with Fitness First!!!!
At $140 per month, I think its quite affordable... plus they have all the facilities that i require... a sauna to sit in to steam out all my oily fats, swimming pool to swim in... excercise classes like Hip-Hop, Pilates and blah blah blah..., sessions with a personal trainer, plus what I really like is that you dun even have to bring your own towels and attire!!! you just have to bring your sluggish body and shoes to the gym, they will even provide you with toiletries!!!
All i have to do now is to stick with this 1 year plan and lose weight once and for all!!! I planned to go to the gym every Mon, Wed and Fri... Tues, Thurs and weekends are reserved for my Darling lincoln...
OKOK!!! Got to go work liao!!!! Hope I can go off in time to see my darling tonight!!!

I'm down with the flu today...sniff sniff... plus a little fever which I hope would not mutate come tomorrow.
It's hard to work with a perpentual headache... and I cannot take a MC today cos I already took a day off yesterday to bring Lincoln for his routine jab. And my work had piled up all the way to my nose...just because I wasn't around for one miserable day.
And I cannot take a MC TOMORROW because Angie got to go to her gynae visit and the office will be severely shorthanded...
I'm so conked out that I cannot sit straight!!! I can barely register what others are telling me, and my runny nose is making a nuisance...
Help..... I want to go home... but my work not done yet....

with Lincoln...
I love his laughter, his tears, his cries, his blabbers, his hands, his toes, his feet, his mouth, his hair, his skin, his smell, his fingers, his saliva, his poo, his eyes, his tumm....his EVERYTHING.
You get the idea.
Time flies, and its only seemed like yesterday that I gave birth to my little prince... and now, he is a handful of joy and with a fiery temper as well.
Life with Lincoln is never the same again, and I cannot imagine my life without him now. I often wonder, what if one day I woke up from everything now, and Lincoln is only a figment of my imagination? What will I do then?
*Shudders*

Time flies....
and I soon found myself in a nice little restaurant with Kelvin.
I was having splitting headache when I left the office. Needless to say, I wasn't in a very cheery mood. Kelvin waited in my office for some time, before I finally declared I wasn't doing any more work. I slept like a log as soon as I stepped into Kelvin's car, and by the time I woke up, I found myself in a strange carpark.
As we emerged from the carpark, to the open street, I was greeted by the nice breeze and soft street light, putting me in a better mood. The headache went away for a while and I asked where Kelvin was taking me.
"Just follow me lar..." he gestured, reaching out to hold my hand.
We ended up in Petals, the restaurant owned and operated by SHATEC. We have been wanting to visit the restaurant since our courting days, but never had the chance to.
After choosing from the menu, Kelvin asked me to guess whats the occasion today that we were having such a nice dinner.
"Today is 7th... got anything special meh???"
"Got lar....you think think...."
"No lar... today not our anniversary mah... not our birthdays...not Lincoln's birthday....."
"Wah biangz....today nothing special.... tomorrow leh?"
"8th lor!!!!!"
"Ya lar!!! Happy 1 yr wedding anniversary...dear.."
-___-'''
Super embarassing ok!!!!!
Fancy a husband reminding the wife of their wedding anniversary! Usually its the other way round, the wife complaining to the hubby youduncareaboutmeanymoreihateyou
youforgotouranniversaryshityouyouheartlesscreep.
I only remembered our anniversary when we first became a couple.
It din occurred to me that we have already been married for a year. 1 year!!! Without noticing it!!! Plus courtship, means we have been together for 5 years. Wah... sounds so long time ago leh.... when i was only 19 years old... not even of legal age to watch RA movies or go into casinos...
Kelvin then feigned heartbroken and kept demanding to know why I din remember such an impt date... I was like WTF??? Really LL, nothing to say...cos i really forgot.... in the end, I offered to pay for dinner....
After dinner, it was rushing from town all the way to Woodlands, to see our precious Lincoln. He ate his first RUSK biscuit!!! He still couldn't eat it on his own, but mixed with a little bit of water and fed from a spoon. I immediately carried him as soon as I stepped into the house, with him jerking up and down from excitement... and showered him with loads of TLC. Seeing him makes me realise I MISSED HIM TERRIBLY...
Tonight going to meet Kelvin to go grocery shopping.... Can't wait!!!

I was taking a shower yesterday at my mum's place, where I noticed that she placed a new bar of soap on the soap dish. I never use bar soap nowadays, as I find using shower foam more convenient and more hygenic. But older generation will prefer bar soap, cos its more cost effective (according to my mum) and I guess old habits die hard.
The bar soap got me interested because, I haven't seen this brand of soap lying around in my bathroom since my dad died. He was the only one who used this brand of soap. The sight of the soap brought back a wave of nostalgia and I instinctively pick the soap up and showered with it.
As the bubbles slided down my body, the whole bathroom was filled with its scent. It was an unusual fragrance, and din smell like anything else on the market. It does not smell quite floral, definitely not fruity, a little bit medicinal....smells like my dad.
It indeed brought back alot of fond memories. In just 20 mins in the bathroom, the soap brought me back to my father's arms, craddling me when I was a kid, brought me to the time where he just stepped out of the shower and the scent would burst out of the bathroom and lingered on in the area. I missed him terribly.
It suddenly occured to me: would my mum feel the same way as I feel? Would she feel all the memories rushing back as she takes a shower?
Different smells surely can bring memories so vivid, you'll feel like the incident just happened the day before.
I wonder which kind of smell would let Kelvin be reminded of me?

Love the way he looks into the camera... My mum says he's even fairer than me! Kelvin thought the color combination looks great..green n blue... Everytime I see a photo of Lincoln or seeing him in the flesh reminds me that I should thank God for giving me such a perfect little boy. He is healthy and well, and having Lincoln really humbled me.
I used to think my mum disciplined me in a very harsh way. Whenever my mum did something to me which I din agree on, I would silently promised myself I will not treat my kid this way. But as I looked back now on my mum's discipline methods, I really appreciate her 'tough love' method. I have taken the role of a mother now and needed her advice now more than ever.
Maybe I one day my son will see me as a monster mum, someone who is very strict and harsh and everything-not-so-nice. But I have to do what a mum has to do, and I may behave really like a ass. But I hope (God bless!!!) that my darling can grow up to be a fine young man one day.

Holding my hand when I am about to deliver.
Giving me your hand to hold on as I tremble.
Providing me with your chest when I'm looking for a hug.
Laughing as I told you my unfunny jokes.
Thinking hard when I need a solution to my problems.
Giving me your undivided attention as I told you my fears.
Nursing me back to health when I am sick.
Reassuring me when I am in doubt.
Telling me off when I really act like a bitch.
Keeping me grounded when I start day-dreaming.
Standing by my side when I face uncertainty towards our future.
Wiping my tears away when I cry.
Being crazy with me when we need to be a little crazy sometimes.
Thank you for being there for me, always. It's like knowing whenever I lifted my head, you are just a few feet away. Or a phone call away. Actions speak louder than words, and you really made me feel like a million bucks.
With you around, I can be ME and not someone else.
Thank you.

is that my friends are all healthy, and happy and by my side whenever I need them.
Michelle came to visit Lincoln last weekend, and she adored my darling. Cx, her husband, was clearly besotted with Lincoln, and I prompted Michelle to quickly 'make babies' . She replied its not time yet, as she wanted to advance in her career and had no time for kids.
We chatted for quite some time, while Cx entertained Lincoln. It's been a few weeks since I last had dinner with her. As we were chatting, it occured to me that although we meet up only once every blue moon, we still have alot to talk about, never running out of topics, never had any awkward silence bwtn us.
I asked her about S.Y, one of her very good friends in sec school. She lamented that she din get in touch with her for a very long time and barely knew what she is currently doing. I used to be jealous of S.Y when I was younger, cos Michelle and I had been best pals since we were toddlers and she suddenly came into the picture when Michelle and I went to different sec schools.
I was sure I am losing my best friend to her... but fortunately, we kept in touch regularly and finally, I felt that my best friend was returned to me. Silly and immature, you might think, but I really treasured our friendship alot.
From toddlers to married women, we have been through soooo much. May our friendship last forever!
