If I can get a second honeymoon

Read Sin Chew Jit Po Sunday newspaper today and found a page really interesting. Many seaside romantic places are introduced and look really nice. So I put a record here, in case I get a chance for second honeymoon or a trip out for just me and hubby.
1. Boracay, Philipines


First time I hear the name. It is listed as the the world top 10 best seaside, with white sand as long as 7km.







2. Phuket

Read that its filled with unique rocks and waterfall and etc. Many people would have been to this place as its pretty near to Malaysia, but me not yet lo.







3. Maldives

Very popular honeymoon place. If I remember correctly, one of my A-level classmate is from there and he keep promoting his place to be a beautiful place. Seeing the popularity as place for honeymoon, he is right. According to the paper, the island is below sea level, as the global warming is getting worse, these islands could disappear after next century. If to enjoy the scenery, go there as soon as possible and starts being responsible to the environment!
4. Mauritius

Frankly speaking, I am always confused between Mauritius and Maldives ( to me, they sound alike)








5. Fiji
This is listed as one of the Universe top to honeymoon place ( must be real romantic!)













6. Seychelles

Situated in Indian oceans, northeast of Magadasgar, it should be a great place to relax as the nature is still very well preserved.









7. Bali
A pretty familiar name to me ( but I still haven't been there, despite the convenient and the cheap flight from Airasia). Bali is almost a synonym of "Romance" and island of honeymoon





8.Tahiti Islands

Another name that I have not heard of. According to paper, it has been called as 'a place nearest to paradise' (wao!). The common island frequently mentioned for vacation here is Bora-bora. However, I think this is the place that I am least likely to be at as it is situated at South Pacific, about 8 hour flight from.....Not Malaysia but Los Angeles. A bit too far for me la.

My Daughter HE's favourite food: Plain White Rice

HE has no problem starting solid on the dot when she is 6 months old. She eat what is given and I have tried to introduce to her different food. However, when she is about 8 months old, she starts to say no, and become fussy about food. She eat very little each time and that make me stress. When she crawl here and there, I also practically almost crawl with her trying to feed her. Only when she starts walking then it is relatively less tiring to feed her as I just grab her arm to make her stop for a while to be fed ( if only that feed get to pass down her throat)

I have tried to make her sit at the booster seat and feed her, but she will spit it out after taking the most 2-3 spoons. Or she will keep that feed for a record of half an hour. She is merely 7kg at 1 year old, already considered at the borderline to underweight. Already I am stressed with her slow weight gain, even more so with such eating behaviour. How come this fully breastfed baby seem not quite accepting variety of food as what I read or learn from books? I try comfort myself by lowering down by expectation and try all the tricks that I can think of to get her eat.

Now she is about 34 months old, eating habit and the amount of food taken is a bit better. She is around 12kg (I have stopped pressing against her weight as long as the growth curve is increasing, regardless if its at the white or even yellow zone). Now she can take a lot if only its plain white rice. In fact, she can finish a chinese bowl full of rice in less than 10 mins (note: she feed herself very well using spoon). But once mix with vege or meat, she will starts to be keep her lips tight or keep the food in the mouth like a hamster. Another trick that I observe is her appetite is better if there is soup. She will reject if she sees there is only mean+/- vege on the spoon, but once I add soup to it, then she will take it.

I have bought a book from Popular bookstore on recipe of 100 types of soup, hopefully that will help her eating. Knowing that there will be another baby to take care, I won't be able to concentrate on feeding her like before. Lets hope she will become no more fussy on food when her little sibling come along. I also pray that the little one will walop everything offered. Real stress out when come to fussy eater.

My daughter favourite colour

Today, I found out that my daughter seemed to have a favourite colour: White. When my MIL bought 2 types of mee, she would ask for the one without soya source. She would say :" I want white colour mian mian, I don want...I don want....don want...hai hai de ( = black in mandarin) de mian mian (mee)." ( She converse in Mandarin, but she say white colour in english)

Then today, after coming home at night, suddenly she mentioned " I want mummy, I don want daddy hai hai de..." I thought she meant that daddy was dirty as before that daddy pealed mandarin orange for her and that might dirty his hands.

Then as she was going out with daddy, just before the front door, she mentioned again," I don't one daddy hai hai de, I want mommy 'white colour'." hahaha...I couldn't stop laughing. Indeed my hubby is darker and I am always being commented as very fair.

"Mommy... kiss"

My DD like to kiss. When she is good mood, she will kiss me; when she is in real good mood, she will kiss my hubby and Mama( grandmother). But she is not really good mood, she will only kiss me. :)

When she first starts the "habit" of kissing, she will kiss my forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and lips too. Although I don mind that, but I am concerned that she will get used to kissing people lips, so I stop her from doing that. She stop for while, then sometimes back, she starts again and purposely ask to kiss on the lips. I keep saying " no, no, not there, cheek will do", the more she insists and I just try to avoid her, until one day I change strategy and say " Mommy like to be kissed on the cheek" then solve the problem.

Its actually a very sweet action and it shows she loves us. She only choose to kiss her favourite, I find out this when I mention her kissing action to the babysitter whom she never ask to kiss. :). Now, she kiss one of my cheek, then my head to another side and kiss another cheek, then she will turn her head to one side, then another side for me to kiss. The same is repeated to daddy and Mama. My heart feel really warm and I can't stop smiling. Hope this will continue and its good to show love in action among family members.

A news that sadden me

Just the afternoon before I headed for the parenting talk. I heard from TV about a real sad news. Its not about someone important died, but 2 boys, at the age as young as 11 and 9 commiting a sadistic abuse on another 11 year old boy. This was real sad and shocking. Young boys like them should be innocent, instead of commiting such a brutal crime, causing the victim till unconscious and covered in blood.

Next thing in my mind, naturally, who were the parents of these boys? what had they thought them? True enough, as I searched for more info online, I read that these boys, among 7 siblings came from a broken family with an abusive father. They were also influenced by pornography and violent movie like 'child play'. From what I read, one of the boy was turning into psychopathic. This reminded me of series of 'Criminal minds' and the movie based on true story 'Changeling' (casted by Angelina Jolie). How we adult changed the world of the children. When those irresponsible adult made the porno, horror and violent movies, all in their mind were money, not realizing that they were making damages. Of course, parents carried the most responsibility. As I search online, it was terrifying to find that this was just one of the many incidences worlwide, involving young kids as crime committer.

It is indeed sad. We as parents got to be extra careful and take extra effort as our children are growing in such world that is getting more wicked. (oops, am I being pessimistic here?). I commit my child(ren) into prayer for protection. I am reminded : Who we are today will determine who our chilren are in the future.

( I couldn't sleep though its already past 12, then decided to spent a bit time blogging. Hopefully get to sleep after this cuz got to work tomo...today!)

Parenting talk part III -after thought

After attending the session, I was inspired and started examining myself as wife and as mother. Had I done anything that cause unhappiness to my husband or my daughter? Had I done good enough to make them happy. Very often I was commented by my hubby whenever he told me a good news or bad news. Last time when he proposed to me, he was hoping that I would be touched to the point of crying, but I didn't lo. :P. I also realized I was someone not easy to be moved emotionally ( but not very hard la, I did have moments of really happy expressions). Probably that was because I was 50% genetically sad and raised like a pseudo-orphan. And I was very reserved in praising too. But I did improve since I was with my boyfriend ( aka my current husband) and had my daughter. This session had given me inspiration and guide that helped me to understand better how to make other happy ( then I will be happy too :))

When we were having tea after the session, someone raised a question : " Normally we often find mothers attending this kind of talk, but not father, why?" That was true, this session was attended by 5 mothers and 1 husband only. Why were husband not interested? They were already good at it or they were just not keen in parenting? Then we were reminded that we could hardly change others, but we could start the change in ourselves then it would eventually change the people around us. Wise words. Hopefully I would always remember this.

Parenting talk- What I learned part II

Happy kids was found in happy family, according to Sulynn. It was important for parents to maintain a good relationship. Very often parents became very busy that their focuses were only on children and not each other anymore. This would lead to problematic relationship later on. Therefore, she advised each parent to make time together, to go for movie or anything, just the two of them, at least once a week or even a month. It was very important. Constant communication was necessary too. If another party appeared to be unhappy, we might ask " you looked unhappy, was it because of me?", as very often it might be due to work or other factors, instead of keep thinking that we were the cause and started to feel stress and ended up spreading the stress to whole household.

Sulynn also introduced a diagram, which I think a description of our way of communication. Based the diagram below, described the spouse response when another party came back with a good news.
A passive response could be 'act like nothing happen and continue with whatever was being done. An active (A) but destructive (D) response could be " Ok, I heard you.what else?", " You got the job to be transfered to China ?! You don't need to care about us? Why China?"... If a communication was kept this way, sooner or later a person would stop telling spouse anything. A good way should Constructive and Active : Acknowledge ( "You got the job!"), Appreciate ("I am so happy for you!) and Amplified (" we should go to celebrate this!") [ those in columns were my recall of the suggested response]. The same applied to how we talk to out kids ( I think to people around us). If a child came back with a work that he did in school, we should praise them, and that in turn would encourage them to improve further or do even better.

At the end of the session, we were asked to examine ourselves by start counting our response to our spouse or children and see where were our response mostly be, P, C, A or D, then improve from there. Sulynn also described happiness was like a bank account, if we made our spouse happy, +1, if unhappy, -5; likewise, if we made our child happy, +1, if unhappy -3. We should try our best to keep the account positive and not negative (bankcrupt) to have a happy family.

Parenting talk-What I learned part I

I managed to attend the talk, although I had to drive alone there. There were total of 6 attendees including myself. The speaker, Sulynn was a fun person and she made the whole session lively and easy to understand. Below was what I understood from the talk

First she started off by explaining certain factors that determine if a child or adult not happy. According to her, 50% of it come from genetic. How about the other 50%? For a child, 15% came from parental influence, another 15% from how parents interacted with each other, another 15% from parent childhood experience. I forgot what the rest of 5% was, but I remembered vividly it was something from the child. Therefore, parents governed about 45% of the factors to make a child a happy kid or sad kid. From as young as 2+ years old, one could remember how once the parents interact ( e.g quarrel), and that could impacted the child for life. ( here I took a deep breath, and thought....ok, must be real careful);

For adult or grownup (inc teenage age, I think) wise, 10% was the environmental factor, then another 40% came from pessimistic/optimistic thinking i.e how we chose to think or what angle we look in a certain cicumstances. The example she used was if there was telephone ringing in the midnight, before you picked up the phone, what came up in your mind, pessimistic person would think of bad news, optimistic person would think of possibly an overseas call... According to Sulynn, this 40% was the area that we could mold. If a child was sad in 'nature', we could help them to think positively to turn the child to be happy one. ( I think the parent must first able to think positively, which I myself was still trying to learn) I think this is not only applicable to parenting but also in any relationship).

My Wedding Anniversary

Today is my wedding anniversary. Initially I plan to take leave, but happen to have department meeting, so I got to cancel the plan but to have dinner only. I try to search online for some recommeneded romantic place to have dinner and found this restaurant called Gobo Upstairs in Trader's Hotel. Since the 3 courses dinner for 2 is around RM200, hence I decide to go there for the celebration. It's a bit pricey, according to the portion served ( as seen from the photos from other blogs), but we have been long not really celebrate the day except the one year anniversary, so I thought, ok lah...

Right after work, we managed to go out of the house door without our daughter asking to follow. One challenge solved. However, we didn't reach Gobo upstairs, instead we went to Outback Steakhouse in Bangsar Village, after my hubby lecture on the expenditures in the near future, :).

My hubby ordered Sirloin steak and I ordered Campfire Salmon as I wouldn't like to eat well done beef steak and I couln't take medium well due to pregnancy. Then we ordered one bottomless Iced Lemon Tea. That's me, if want to save, I won't want to spend extra cent unneccesary. :)

According to hubby, the steak was not bad ( that mean quite good as there was hardly any food that could make him thumbs up, Sarawakian taste bud). But I like the smashed potatoes. My Salmon tasted good too, its was not dried which I always experienced in other westen restaurant. However it was a bit salty and had to be eaten with rice or the side dishes. I also complimente the vege and corn to be fresh and just nicely cooked, neither over nor undercooked. The ambiance were good enough, since both hubby and I were not really 'romantic' person. The staff services were good too.

We only spent an hour there, but we enjoyed this short time of just the two of us. It didn't need to be long as long as its quality time rite. And the total bill was RM 99.90. Less than RM100 for the 2 of us, of course it could be more if we added starter or dessert, but we were already full. Overall, I enjoyed the celebration. :)

Parenting talk

Got an e-newsletter from mumscentre yesterday and informed there would be a parenting talk tomorrow at Lara's place SS2 at 4pm. I am really interested to attend as I like to learn expert opinion in bringing up children. However that's also my daughter napping time and I don't really know how to drive to SS2. If to attend, I wish my husband can drive me there, but then we will need to bring my MIL and daughter along. As my MIL dun really understand english, I can't ask her to attend too, hence they need to be settled somewhere during the one and half hour talk. It is also never a good idea to ask my husband to drive me there and pick me up later, asking him doing that will end up me dropping the idea of attending. hm... need some thinking here.
Anyway, back to the talk. In the past, as long as parents can provide 4 elements to their children, its good enough already. The four elements are : Clothes, Food, Shelter and Travel. However, nowadays parents need to meet children emotional need too.To do that, I think we need to first understand their behavior and how they think. This is the hardest things to learn, compared to the 4 elements mentioned. So, before I got tied down more when the second child come along, I better grab this opportunity to hear what this positive change consultant, the first Asian in the pioneer Master of Applied Positive Psychology has to say about parenting. Hope I get to attend.

Pregnant lady is forgetful?

I needed to post a document by post express today. So I photostated the documents and got prepared. . When lunch time came, I quickly grabbed my bag and went. Half way through, I realized that I left my handphone at office drawer and I couldn't remember the address nor the phone number of the receiver as it was kept in my handphone. Since my colleague was the one driving, so I got to drop the plan, thinking I could still post it after office hour at the post office in shopping mall which close only at 9pm.
After picking up my daughter and parents in law, we went for dinner at the shopping mall. After order food, I went straight to the post office and glad to see that there was hardly any people there ( except counter staff). Very soon my number was called, then I realized I didn't bring the photocopied but the original document. Then only I remembered I put it on my office table so that I would remember to take it to post. Sigh...mission failed again. Not to mention I also forgot to bring back the "Siew Pao"(Chinese baked pastries) that I bought on the way back from lunch for my parents in law.
I am used to be labelled as careless person, but it seems to get worse now. Am I getting more clumsy and forgetful due to my pregnancy? or its because I am getting older? Hope it won't get worse.

Pregnancy at 30 weeks

I normally like antenatal check up especially during the scanning time. Although most of the time I am not sure which part of the foetus on the screen although doctor do tell me if that's the head, leg or back bone, but I feel great to see the movement. Then the Gynae doctor will take the measurement and I will be glad to hear " baby is growing well and accordingly. Heart beat present."
However there is a part of the antenatal check up that I dislike : Urine test. After taking blood pressure and weight, then I have to take a bottle to collect midstream urine. It is abit easier during early pregnancy and I can still aim. However, as the tummy gets bigger, I can't see the stream anymore but just take the bottle trying to catch, hoping not to wet my finger ( hope!). On the other hand, I'll choose a squat toilet rather than toilet seat, it is easier but more straining on the legs, considering I am getting heavier with big tummy. Wish guys can experience the same to really feel how difficult it is to be a pregnant women.
My weight today register 73kg. I am already 1.5 kg extra compared to the weight on the day I am delivering my first child. I hope I won't go to 80kg when I deliver the second one. Considering the rate of weight gain of around 2kg per month, I might weigh around 77kg on the due date. Meaning I am likely to be around 70kg+ after confinement!( considering the rate of weight loss of merely 5kg after 1st pregnancy)! Hopefully taking care of 2 children will later help me slim down faster. sigh...

Communication. Important!

There was a pregnant lady who had internal bleeding in her brain and admitted to intensive care unit. Cause of the bleeding was still being investigated. According to the husband, he heard from her friend that she was taking a medicine, but he was not sure what was that. Then he heard from the sister that the lady had complaint of tension and felt like seeing Dr. But both the sister and the husband were not sure if she had seen doctor. then he heard from her colleague that the lady would take the medicine whenever she felt breathless... I think the husband must have felt really helpless as he is clueless.

As noticed, there are many 'heard of'... Why the lady was not able to share that with her husband. Spouse should be someone that we can share anything including sad and happy moments, rite? But, what keep us to reserve and backoff from telling?

This story reminded me that communication is so important between husband and wife, be it simple talk, empty talk ( like, Oh you are back when he/she is obviously coming through the house door:P) but must talk to each other as it keep communication open and we then feel comfortable to share. Sometime we are too occupied with work and children that we forget to talk to each other or spend quality time together. Hm.....cannot say no time, must make time.

My Breastfeeding story overview part IV

Then came the next issue, where could I pump while going to work after maternity leave?
My eletrical pump needed electric outlet. As I thought I managed to get a friend to lend her office to me for expressing, only on my first day of work then she suddenly told me that her office would be in use all the time. I panicked but I made myself calm and managed to use the mother room just behind NICU. I managed to pump 4oz in 1/2 hours of dual pumping, not plenty, but already better than I expected. Later I was blessed that I had understanding colleagues who let me used their office to express milk. I understood that pumping 3 times a day was not enough, as my baby need at least 16oz at babysitter place and later become 24 to 30oz a day. So I pump 3 times at work, then tandem pumping when home, pump once before sleep, then tandem pump at 1am and 5 am, about 7 times in 24hours. I thank God that I was still able to adjust to this busy routine and able to work despite less sleep. I kept the same routine even during weekend to stock up. As time passed, we were able to see that my baby actually had her own growth curve, slow but increasing. After my baby started solid, my freezer stock started accumulating, I couldn't believe that I could one day had my freezer full of breast milk. It was then I drop the expressing at midnight and allowed myself to sleep more. Although my baby was petite still, but she was healthy, active and met the development milestones.
I was so glad that I managed to pull through. She was going to be 14months old, and I am still BF fully"

My breastfeeding story overview Part III

One day, after came back from clinic for vaccination, I finally broke down, as compared to other babies in the clinic, mine was so pathetically very small, even those born as premmie earlier was bigger! Was I wrong? Was my decision to fully BF eventually cause my baby to suffer? I cried, I couldn't sleep and felt again resentment towards my baby. One week after discharge from ward, the paediatrician, who was also lactation consultant thought that I had low milk supply. I was prescribed medicine and was asked to supplement with the breast milk pumped after each feeding 2 times a day. Frankly, I had no idea what was "each feeding", I fed continouosly! As adviced by my friend, I learned to pump one side while feeding another side.
Not easy initially, got milk leaking out from funnel when I was still not good in positioning. My wrist was in pain and my fingers was started to be stiff, but I still did that. I fed right side and pump left side for 15 mins, after one hour, I changed to left side and pump right side ( Yes, still feeding, very often these was repeated for next 1-2hours). One night, I prayed and promised that "no matter how, when mummy started working, even what I pump in a day enough for one feed only, I will still continue to give you the best." Hence, to ensure that I could keep my milk supply, I invested in electric dual pump, despite my husband doubt the worthiness of the purchase, "you better be sure you can BF for one year with that gadjet" that's what he said. So I continue the routine of feeding, pumping and supplemeting for another month. After she was 2 months plus then it started to have gap between feedings and she started to sleep for 3 hours stretch once during day time. Only then I dare to try bring her out for dinner. BF was a little bit easier then.

My breastfeeding story overview part II

On the fifth day, my baby was jaundice and needed to be admitted to hospital, from home door to the ward, my baby practically attached to my breast. As she was still not settled for the UV light therapy, I reluctantly agreed to the nurse suggestion to give formula. I felt so embarrassed and defeated the moment I saw her sleep soundly in the cot after the formula. That very night, I started to feel tingling sensation on my breast and next day I found my bed wet so I quickly take my pump and happily get my mature milk of 2oz after 20mins of pumping. Then I thought my nightmare was over, I would only have to feed my baby 2-3hourly, not continuously as before, and I would have a good sleep. I even had the consultant neonatologist to teach me feed left side 10mins then right side 10mins, done. However, it turned out it made no difference. My baby was still fed continuously. However, thanks to the Paediatrician who thought me to correct latching on and how to feed lying down then I was able to get some rest. Then later only I accept the fact that its common to have clustered feeding. So I said to myself, just feed on demand. I checked my notes again, reminded that adding pumping in between feeding could help to boost milk supply. so I did that, I pump at night when my baby was sleeping. Later, when she was 21st day old, the bilirubin increased again, and need to be admitted again. As the weight was checked, her weight gain was found to be slow, less than 20g perday, even the doctor also said " is she fed enough?" My only evidence of her probably fed enough was my records of her daily urine and bowel outputs which I religiously keep track of. I felt embarrased too with a conscience that I was labelled as a mother with inadequate milk supply. While in the ward, I pumped 3 hrly, for almost one hour each time, but only able to get 1-2oz, while my baby was already drinking 3 oz of formula, I started to lose confidence, I felt myself so "dry".
After that she was discharged, diagnosed as breast milk jaundice.
When, the important day, the full moon arrived. While my husband happily inviting people and /my mother in law happily preparing, I was so dragged to celebrate the day. She was basically attached to my breast all the time, and I was too shy to BF in front of people, even if I did, what would people commented if they saw that the baby never came off mummy breast even when they left the house!? Anyhow, I managed to get through it by resorting to bottle with my accumulated pumped milk. However, I really felt tension to have visitor at that time.

My Breastfeeding story overview part I

I wrote this when Mamaparadise.com called for a competition of breastfeeding story. Hence I wrote the following in July 2008. Its a short version, there are lots more I wanted to share about BF. Let take this as overview.

"While I was still pregnant, I have already start searching for resources and read about breastfeeding. I borrowed notes from friends and attended antenatal classes, search online to see the video on BF and tried to remember how to latch baby to breast as I read that that's an important "skill" in order to have a success in BF. I also had put into my birth plan that I wanted to BF right after my baby was born.
Then, the important day came, I delivered my precious daughter at night. As she was brought to me, I was so amazed that she could suckle my breast. She was just born with the skill! Then as I was transfered back to my room, even though I was still drowsy due to the Pethidine jab earlier, I declined the offer from nurse to feed my baby milk powder. Whie in the ward, I fed my baby again, after a while she doze off. As I remembered from my reading, newborn tend to be sleepy,and need to wake up to feed, I literally shake my baby ( only after a few days later I knew its dangerous to do that :P oops), then she suckled for a while, and doze off again. "she's probably well fed", that I was thinking. After I put her down to the cot, I went to sleep, thinking, "that's easy...thanks to my readings beforehand". soon after, she cried again. So, throughout the whole midnight, I'd been "pick up, feed, put down" action repetitively till nurse to pick her up for her morning bath.
When we got home the following day, the same had been repeated. I basically didn't sleep at all, I felt pain and sore at my breast, as baby suckle, I also felt pain at my tummy, also I need to handle my mother in law comments and keep saying no to her suggetion on giving water. I was really exhausted and tired, plus all the confinement rule of not touching water, no fan, etc...my whole world was like up side down. I even started to feel angry towards my baby, " why can't you just keep awake and drink enough! why sleep already, then wake up again the moment I put you down! how and when will you be satisfied, my breast was cracked and bled and yet you still want to suckle!" as this persisted for 3 more days. My husband who was the one that wanted me to breastfeed while I was still pregnant, also went to buy a tin of milk powder and fed my baby. I also begin to be doubtful as I don feel anything like engorgement.

My New Year 2010 Resolution

Have been thinking what should be my second post. Since its still January, think its more appropriate to write about new year resolution. I remember once a senior mentioned to me that its pretty hard to be well rounded person with all the positive charaters and good habits. She suggested that we should set one good character or habit each year and work on it, intead of having the whole list and trying to ( or don't even try to ) follow it. I agree, in chinese proverbs, it takes 3 days to make a person bad but it takes 3 years to make person good.

So this year, I wish that I could learn about 'Discipline'. One but a big word, as discipline mean in time management, in learning things..... I like to read but tends to be attracted by new book, and never finish the currrent book, half way through the book will lay somewhere or in the bookshelf for years, unless I am forced to finish it like to prepare for exam. I think one non-academic book that I actually do finish is 'What to expect when you are expecting', during my first pregnancy. Now that there are a few parenting books, I do hope to be discipline enough to really finish them.
Another discipline is in time, not only for my sake but more for my child sake. She used to sleep late, like 11pm-12am, as she can only sleep with daddy and mommy in bed. But daddy and mommy tends to be stucked with the interesting TV programmes so end up sleep late too. Pity her as she gets so sleepy the next morning and her eye can hardly open after the half day preschool session. So I hope I am discipline to be in the bedroom the latest 10pm.
I have many things in my mind that need discipline. But lets start small and then only move on. I think Discipline is the key for things to get done . Lets hope I become a discipline person for my daily life by the end of the year.

First time blogging

Have been reading other people's blog. Thought it is fun reading other people stories and also have the urge to also share story with others also. However, just because everyone will be able to see what I write, it makes me hesitate. Jackie Cheong, a Hong Kong star singer once mentioned, in the past, people write diary and try to keep it as secret as possible, but nowadays, people write it for everyone to know. Very ironic indeed.

I haven't decided what is the main theme of my posts will be. Guess I am like any mother, tends to share with people about motherhood and children. Indeed, I learnt something new from each of every mom's blog that I read, each has unique experience. I think that's because God created each and every of us to be unique, including our children.

OK, that's about my first post. Lots of things to share, but need precious sleep and precious time with my child.
