Special Saturdays 1

Special Saturdays!! So called because Saturdays are usually fixed activity, unless there is something else to attend to.

And for today, brought JCH out for his second wedding event since birth-a wedding luncheon!! He was quite well behaved. I guess its because of the new and intriguing environment that he's in, and all the new faces that he saw. Except when the electric piano (organ?? Can't rmb what its called) start playing through the speakers, he cried at that. Had to excuse ourselves from the solemnization room cos he was crying quite hard. I was quite surprised, bcos he is usually able to tolerate noise. But i guess, this is one noise he can't handle.

In the luncheon hall, he was passed from hand to hand, and nope he didn't cry. Except when he wanted to sleep. He was especially happy when Mr MTM played with him! I could hear him chuckle from my table (Mr MTM sits at the next table)! Friends were asking whether that's him laughing, i said yes.."wa he so happy ah?!" Hahaha, yes JCH was really happy, much thanks to Mr MTM, who is a father to 3 sons and 1 daughter. JCH was totally bushed out when we got home. ;)

While the company and catch up was great, the hotel service ain't good. Seriously..certain R***** doesn't seen take all the weddings/solemnizations properly. Its not the first bad encounter at this hotel. I am so glad we had ours at Grand Copthorne.

Am so looking forward to our yearly Raya gathering next. JCH will be able to sit on his own by then, hopefully. One more week my dear Muslim friends!! :D

Active active!!

Its been a very active day of moving about today. Making a quick and short return to my mom's place to retrieve a better looking not-so-lok-kok bag to use for subsequent wedding luncheons/dinners, and then returning home to feed JCH his sweet potato for today, changing and washing everything that's on our bed and his own cot, his clothes..and hubs lowered down JCH's bed level!! He's getting a little too heavy for me to bend over and put him into his ikea cot, even at the higher level. There were a few times when i had near miss with shoulder and neck cramps after putting him down in his cot. Now this will be so much easier! I just pray that i don't roll over and share sleeping space with JCH! Hohoho..

If you've realized, the cot bumper is tall. Yes its tall, because i (machine)sewed 2 cot bumpers from ikea together! Being very kiasu mommy, i am worried that as JCH grows bigger, that his night time bed flipflops would see his little chubby limbs getting stuck between those wooden sticks, both at high level and low level. So to be EXTRA cautious, i doubled the height of the bumper! Didn't do a good job of sewing it together, but hey, as long as its functional. I'm not in a sewing contest. XP

After i was done washing all the stuff in the toilet, i was greeted by a really cute and sweet sight: hubs had put JCH to sleep and he fell asleep on our bed just next to his baby. I can't help but smile at that scene, and be reminded that hubs did his first attempt at changing JCH to a new set of sleeping clothes on his own after helping to change baby's diapers (bcos JCH drooled and munched his hands so much, the collar area of his onsies and the ends of the long sleeves were literally soaked with his baby perfume!!). Its a sweet gesture from hubs, daddy-son bonding!

Amidst all the actions, i have managed to squeeze some pockets of time out to do some editing of the blog using com. I had set out to blog about moments of us and JCH, and thought, why not pay it forward? See, i had been, have been very blessed since the discovery of my pregnancy last year. People all round have been sharing advise, experience and all with hubs and i, and also we have received a fair bit of hand-me-downs of all sorts that really eased the setting up costs for JCH's inventory. So now i'm trying to help my friends who are preggy or just had their first baby, so why not include the readers of this blog too?

I've put up (and will continue putting up) pages with topics, info and experience close to my heart, hoping that it will be of help to anyone. Please bear with me for the moment as i make this blog more exciting to go about yes?

Meanwhile, its good night time and a hello to saturday (u came too fast!!). Have a good weekend!

Reviving the blogger in me

Been a long time since my last post back in 2008, and since blogspot is so kind to have an app for bloggers to post on the go, plus ive been thinking of getting back to blog so that i could write down our everyday together with our boy, there's no reason to hold back anymore. So, here i am after finally putting JCH to sleep. :)

A new phase in life thus this new add. Plus alot had happened since 2008. 5 years. I had graduated, worked in 3 companies where i was quite blessed to have gone through different challenges, got married, had a honeymoon, got preggy and delivered JCH one month earlier in Jan2013. What a blessing he has been to us all. No words can fully describe.

Today has just been a rather emotional day. I am missing JCH like mad already. He is growing too fast for me! Sometimes i'd wish that time would stop, that i can smell his fluffy hands more, play with his meaty feet more, hear his cute blabberings, wipe his bubbling saliva, just be with him at his current stage longer. Yet other times i would be wishing he'd grow faster, so looking forward to the next step he'll make, eager to see him grow. Complex, very complex feelings.

Alrighty, time to end it here for this first post. Gotta go wrap up the day by preparing for tml. Gosh. And let me get used to the new blogspot (been 5 years since i last touched know) before i can make this spot more like a current blogspot. For now, caveman standard will do - the very basic of my words for you to read. And maybe, your comments at the end of this post if you wish.

Night all! Have a good rest. TGIF in 10min.
