If you are feeling my blog is rather "out-dated", it's because I am writing in my the other blog.

=)

I hope we'll be happier and healthier this year and the coming years... There are so many things to look forward in 2009. I just can't wait to see how our life together getting better!

Our little rascal in action.

It's an amazing feeling to see how your children grow up everyday. No longer a helpless baby but an "trying-to-be-independent" toddler. Being so busy with sewing orders nowadays, sometimes I missed out seeing zy in his funny actions. He can be a tyrant a home (especially when he bullies his toy Barney) but overall he is still nice, cheerful and helpful.

zy is turning 14 month-old this month but he behaves like a 2 year-old. He is learning to speak and sing (if I did not hear wrongly). He "invented" alot of actions and ideas by himself such as the motion of jumping without lifting his legs off the floor. He can already sort of communicate with us by talking, pointing, nodding, smiling or children hand signs. Till now, he can say:

"-nana" --banana
"-pls" -- apple
"-gurt" -- yogurt
"bar-" --barney
"baa" -- sheep
"moo" -- cow
"-haw" -- donkey
"-cock" -- peacock
"ba-" -- bath
"pear, bear, bag, baba, mama, bus, truck, clock, boy, car.... and many more". Just some words I can think of now with my sleepy brain.

I am hoping that he can talk before he goes to childcare next year so that it will be easier for him and his teachers and classmates.

Oh... zy is going to school soon... time really passes so fast!


jw is complaining again, for me not updating my blog for so long. It's not that he does not know that I have been real busy with sewing and rushing the orders. Gosh. I think I have sort of lost my mind. Too many things too little time.


Anyway, I almost called it quits coz I needed a break. Imagine sewing for the whole week and not having much time for your child. I kinda felt guilty towards zy coz the whole point of me choosing to be a stay at home mum is to be with zy as much as possible. But I was so busy with sewing that he was a little neglected. So I declared to jw that Sunday shall be my off day. And off we went to the zoo for the first time together!



We had a great time there although we were there for only an hour but it was already exhausting for us... blame the humid weather!


I never expected jw to be my blog's bestest reader. I started this blog to pen my feelings and thoughts while zy was in my tummy since I stopped writing diaries for a long long time. I was hoping that this blogger thing will still exist when zy grows up and he can read what his mama wrote for him and about him. For him to cherish and feel our love for him.

jw msged me this morning asking how come I did not update my blog for so long. well, I have been busy. Just this morning, I managed to start decluttering my table. It's always easier to mess things up than to fix them. I always have a hard time to reorganise and clean up my things. Not because I like mess or I am lazy, but because I always have other better things to do at that moment. I just receive some orders for pouches and I have to start working on them. But with my messy table, I just can't do anything.

Ok, will start packing soon...=P


Something i did this morning, in an hour! Happy!






I love bags, branded bags but I never really own one. Because:

-firstly, I am not sure if I can take care of them by diligently cleaning them every few weeks or months (yes, I'm a messy person FYI).

-secondly, I do not know if I can carry the look, i mean, look like a taitai.

-thirdly, I am scared of losing or misplacing the bags (very forgetful me).

-forth, I am terrified of being robbed (my heart beats faster if I carry a rather expensive bag).

-fifth, most of the time I need a really big and slouchy kinda bag so that I can throw all my stuff in and that's it. Rummaging through my bag to find something has become a habit.

-sixth, I "heartpain" spending the $$ to just buy a bag (perhaps I did not grow up in a rich family and money was really hard to earn or even save). If I have the $$, I would rather buy lots not-so-expensive bags.

-seventh, I am too lazy to change bags coz I will tend to forget to bring this and that. Now after having zy, I only use three bags - toscano sling, kipling slouch and baby couture diaper bag.

-eight, I would rather avoid "gossips" or "green eye".

Anyway.

I have been barking on jw to buy me a branded bag as a consolation for the pregnancy and birth of zy. But all along, I did not have the heart to look or choose. All I wish to know and have is jw's sincerity and love for me.

And he has been really very sweet.

Ever since zy came into our lives, we bicker more because of different mindsets and expectations. No more couple life but family life and we took quite some time to adjust. But we are doing better. Alot better. And I know that jw still loves me as his wife more than as zy's mother and I think this is really important to us. To stay connected, respected and loved as husband and wife.

And yes, I got it.
