It’s easy to revolve one’s life around a chubby, toothless and smiley baby. After Hua Zhe turned 4 months old, I finally found some time on my hands. Updating my blog, oh yes. Getting a hair cut, absolutely. (So pathetic, sigh.)
I set mini goals for myself everyday so that time is well utilised. They are [...]

Journal of gratitude 21/5/09
I am grateful for my family – my loving and very supportive husband, and also our 4-month-old son. They are the love of my life.

有关友情。。
到了我这个生活阶段，好朋友真的是可遇不可求。为了工作营营役役，然后又为孩子做牛做马，接触的人不多，更谈不上交个知心的朋友。在教会里，和我们差不多年龄的也有一些，但有了孩子后各忙各的，鲜少见面。一对和我们比较相熟的夫妻下个月就要搬到吉隆坡去了。哎，又少了两个朋友，可悲啊！可幸的是，有些朋友就算不常联络依然在心里有着特别的位子。中学，大学，少年时期教会的朋友尤是。
近期遇到一些使人不快的人和事，让我感叹真心朋友难寻。莫老爷常说我对人标准过高，难道在此时此刻还想要有生死与共的朋友乎？不需要生死与共，但基本的关心不会要求太苛刻吧。
罢了罢了，友情，不可强求。我尽管做一个可令人相交的朋友，其他的就听天由命吧！

Ouch
We are bringing Hua Zhe for his 4th month check-up and pneumococcal vaccination tomorrow. As with previous jabs, I am all nervous inside. Hua Zhe was fussy everytime after his vaccination. He would cry easily, not sleep well and be grumpy for a day after. And hearing people mentioning the link between mercury in vaccines, [...]

母子同心
华哲在诞生两个月时，我就发觉到他对我的情绪很敏感。我在产后两个月情绪都不甚稳定，虽然人前强逼自己保持笑脸，但背地里却常常自怜自艾，又不时落泪。荷尔蒙作祟啊！
有次为华哲喂奶时，心情恰好不是很漂亮，所以没有像平时般愉快地和他说话。他也收起了平常的笑颜，一双大大的眼睛盯着我动也不动，似乎也感受到我低落的心情。
昨晚喂奶时睏极不时打呵欠，眼泪也不受控制地向下流。华哲睁着眼睛看着我好几分钟，然后突然嚎啕大哭起来。他从来都是一个很快乐，随和的小孩，鲜少哭闹，所以我吓了一大跳，连忙抱着他加以安慰。在继续喂奶时，我还是一副“泪汪汪”的样子，他又扁着嘴要哭了出来。我急忙抱着他，告诉他“妈咪没事”，让他看我的笑脸，他才安静下来。
别说小孩不懂事，就连一个不满四个月的幼儿都能粗略地感受到他人的情绪。我到现在都还记得父母在我幼时所说的一些话。他们可能以为孩子小不懂事，但我都懂，也感受得到母亲心里的沉重。母子连心，你是否有同样的经验？

I promise..
Since Hua Zhe’s birth, I pretty much was thrown into (rough) uncharted waters, with very little know-how, learning as I go. Being a first-time mom, I have much fears and uncertainties, but what I am sure are these:
1. I will be a good role model for my child – After becoming a mother, I am [...]
