I have heard from many Mommies around me that we can feel the baby move much earlier than our first pregnancy. In my 11th week, not to exaggerate, I ever felt some gentle flutterings in my belly.
The more obvious felt was last friday, and the second was yesterday. I told Hubby, but he asked if it’s [...]

Enrichment Classes
Posted in Mommy's words on October 29, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Met my aunt whom I think she is quite kiasu. She was trying to show us how her son fared from the enrichment classes from Speech and Drama, to chinese poetry (and san zi jing) classes to his piano classes etc.
I am not keen in the whole conversation at all. As far as I am [...]
When He Does It….
Posted in Family on October 29, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I have always lamented that Hubby never really take care of Ethyl when he is home on weekends. I needed my rest, am unable to sleep well over the past few weeks, and now, am down with flu, cough and a persistent headache. Basically I am looking haggard and fatigue…where has the preggy blush and [...]
Watch Out for December

Motherhood approached us again to shoot Ethyl. I thought it’ll be alright for her to participate in the december issue, since they say the shoot will be shoot at Mom’s place.
This time around, Gina is around to coordinate. This time, Ethyl had an additional friend to participate in the shoot. The little boy is Gina’s [...]
Showing Affection
Posted in Ethylyn, Parenting on October 25, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I always enjoy telling Ethyl and Hubby that I love them. Before we had Ethyl, I would always tell Hubby that I love him, and pop him kisses when he least expected. We could be on the bus, on the streets, between meals, before bed etc. To me, love has to be made known through [...]
《当我老了》——写给孩子的一封信
Posted in Parenting on October 23, 2007 | 3 Comments »
当我老了，不再是原来的我。
请理解我，对我有一点耐心。
当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时，
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。
当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语，
请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。
你从小的时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，
直到你进入梦乡。
当我需要你帮我洗澡时，请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？
当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。
当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时，
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时，我扶你那样。
当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说，谈论什么并不重要，
只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。
当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。
理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始
学习如何生活时我对你那样。
当初我引导你走上人生的路，
如今请陪我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。
Ethyl’s 3rd Quarter Progress Report
Posted in Ethylyn on October 23, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I am beaming whenever I recalled the teachers’ comments. Ethyl had improved tremendously from the last report. I can see “Excellent” in some columns, I can also see lotsa “VG” in most columns, from “Prg” (progressing) the last to “G” (good).
What makes my eyes lit up in disbelief is….Teachers commented that Ethyl is a soft-spoken [...]

Ethyl darling is now able to speak to Mom in mandarin. She is able to speak too many words that I lost count! She can relate to Mom incidents in mother tongue, speak simple hokkien and cantonese.
Ethyl is also able to write numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 8,10, 11, 12, 13 and 18. I was [...]
Ethyl’s 3rd Birthday Preparations
Posted in Ethylyn on October 17, 2007 | 10 Comments »
A yearly event that I would look forward to, as this marks another year of being a proud parent to my darling daughter. Had the intention to bake her birthday cake, but I was really too plagued by fatigue and laziness…and so, I told my darling we shall hunt for a cake instead.
She nodded happily [...]
Heart Melting Moment…
Posted in Ethylyn, Pregnancy on October 16, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Ethyl saw me feeling queasy and uneasy about being bloated and complaining of the pain…she lifted up my top, pat my belly and said, “baby, good boy…don’t make Mommy sick ok? If not Mommy don’t love you…be good ok?”
