milestone missed
junior is now turning round & round while trying to flip herself!
argh, this is another milestone i am sure to miss when i am back to work :(
argh, this is another milestone i am sure to miss when i am back to work :(
stop complaining!
so finally chinese new year is over for me because no more visitings, no more being bored and it's back to my normal lifestyle. seriously except for the long weekend, i think chinese new year is just another long unneccessary break because all i do is heap onto the goodies which equates to extra calories. most of the times, i rather just stay in my cosy zone with ayc and junior.
this cny quite often, i find myself getting stressed with the fact that i am surrounded by mothers, each of whom had gone through motherhood. the sheer magnitude of their parenting advises going on simultaneously in my proximity makes me uncomfortable. one advise come after another and i multiply it by all the mothers around me - !!! it's just so ______ to think about it.
are we made to know everything about one another?
perhaps that's a reason why we wear clothes.
but i still think the world would be a better place if everyone could be just a little more adept at putting themselves in each others' shoes. junior might not be that best baby and i am not the best mommy on earth but at least i know when she is sleepy, when she is hungry, when she is happy, and how she like to be carried, her favourite sleeping position and her favourite game.
okays, complains end here.
so work starts tmr. all over again.

obligation to tradition
honestly, i have never liked any formalities and seeing relatives like once in a year, having to face questions about my future and when will my second baby comes even though junior just came out 3 months ago. most of the time, i'm just stuffing my face with new year goodies, listen to the mahjong tiles clash onto each other and look at my little nieces, wondering what will junior be like when she grows up.
so, many thoughts came to my mind when i saw many of my nieces and nephews. some of them are indeed not what i want junior to become while the minority are good.
as strange as it sounds, i feel i am really behaving like a mother.
okie, time to source for playgroups!
