My boss asked me the question for the 3rd time. This time, she said that so long as I am willing, it will be confirmed. No more testing water or wait and see. If I needed more time, it shall be given. So long as I agree, we will all go.
The immediate emotions that swam me wasnt excitement as per the previous 2 times but exhaustion. I told her "no" almost instantly. There are too many "burdens" pulling me down. I think I am too tired. I need a rest. I prayed and told God that even if I am not 100% willing, if He calls, I will go. It just puzzled me much why He give me the opportunity the last 2 times and then took it away after we said "yes". Mind you, it was a tough decision. Daddy Lim and I discussed at length and argued and debate the same questions over and over again. However, I didnt hear from Him (or maybe I shut my ears? ;p)
I am counting down. Two more weeks to go. Hohoho. I bet there wun be instant relieve, but I think I can breathe better then. This past 4 months of hard work + long hours made me realised that life isnt just about working. Spending time just dazing in front of the TV can be such a joy. Spending time with Daddy Lim and Lil Shauna is wonderful. I think I better work harder with the baby. My mum just called in the afternoon to say that Lil Shauna called my brother "Daddy". -_______________-" She hasnt called me "Mummy" yet, but I think it is a matter of time that she calls me "Da Gu" instead. Faint. On the way home, we kept trying to make her say "Pappy & Mummy". She just wouldnt budge.
Maybe I should be a full-time home-maker. But I think I need a maid. Hohoho.

Cupcakes
I had wanted to bake cupcakes for Daddy Lim to celebrate Daddies' day. However, Lil Shauna was down with fever and flu then and the day immediately converted to little princess day. I bet Lil Shauna was trying to demonstrate to Daddy Lim that Fathers' Day isnt easily earned either. Hoho.
Finally, I managed to beg my mum to let me bake yday. We brought Lil Shauna to my mum's place early morning and I rushed home to bake while Daddy Lim was at work and rushed back to pick up Lil Shauna after that.
My cupcakes.
I had decreased the amount of sugar used for the cake bcos a colleague had feedback that the cakes are a little too sweet. I had also increased the icing sugar in the buttercream, hoping that it would keep the buttercream from melting. Still it melts without refrigeration leh. I wonder if it is the heat.

Then, the figurines that I have made over the past week. I have made about 1 or 2 every other night.
The dressed up cakes.
Whoohoo! I am so glad that i have people to help me eat the cakes that I bake. I like baking but not exactly eating those cakes. Dun ask me, I duno why. But they taste good. Really! Lil Shauna can vouch for that. She ate greedily. Hoho.Mummy Lim
Chio, Chio Baby
I love dressing Lil Shauna up. It is so fulfilling to make her wear whatever that I think she looks good in. I think I better do this more often before she starts to chose what she wants to wear and reject what I have chosen for her.
On Sat, I brought her shopping at Suntec City. She was looking so cute and pretty.
Her pair of leggings was purchased long, long time ago but it was a little big for her then. She finally got to wear it now. She was wearing the new Gap retro looking yellow shorts that I just bought for her. Her fringe was a little too long and she got a little clip on. :)
She must be really chio, cos this gorgor came and tried to jio her.
The gorgor tried not once but many times to "talk" to Lil Shauna wor. He even tried to touch her hand and cheek. So daring. ;p
But Lil Shauna was not too impressed with him. I think it must be bcos he is too gan cheong liao. Not at all gentlemanly. Never buy her flowers or offer her sweets too. I think she like the stylo-milo gorgor who lives on 4th floor better. Hoho.
She prefers shopping for sure. :)
I think in no time, she will attempt to bluff Daddy Lim to buy stuff for her. Daddy Lim sure xin ruan and buy for her de. -.o"

The Walker
Lil Shauna can now walk unassisted. Actually, she can do that a while ago. However, she's normally not too confident and will hold on to our finger while dragging us to the places that she wants to walk to. The story has changed recently.
If she's in a familiar setting, say my mum's place, our home or nainai's place, she will walk to wherever that she wants to and us chasing her behind. Recently, she even started walking on her own in unfamiliar setting! And this is definitely bad news for us.
Yday, we brought her to JP. Lil Shauna was squirming badly when we were carrying her, dying to get down and walk. In the beginning, she was willing to hold our finger and dragged us around. In a while, she decided that she's good enuff and started walking on her own.
Can you imagine a semi-steady baby walking directionless-ly in a pack shopping mall? There were so many people in JP and Lil Shauna just dun care. So many people had to avoid or make way for the little princess bcos she was just walking, regardless of the obstacles ahead. She refused to hold us or vice versa. The worst? She walked into every store and attempted to "shop"! It took us so looooong to walk to the carpark bcos the baby insisted to go into every shop, including one that sells luggage bags. -_________-"
However, she was so adorable. An auntie was saying that she's cute and another one commented that she has big eyes. Hehe. Then again, the same auntie who said that she's cute asked me if Lil Shauna is a girl or boy. -.o" Hello, pink shoes, pink shoes! It must be the top that she wore yday.
Ok, shirt banned.

Pretty Shoes
I love Lil Shauna and I love to dress her up. At this age, they can take anything, even pink hat, pink top, pink bottom, pink socks + pink shoes and yet look irresistible cute and pretty. Moreover, they wun fight back and argue that they want to wear something else.
I also have to admit that when I feel like indulging in retail therapy at times and I cant find anything much to buy (for myself), I can be rest assured that there is always something to buy for Lil Shauna. There are just so many pinky stuff to choose from.
We just got her a new pair of shoes bcos she hated the pair that Daddy Lim got for her previously. The PD said that it was bcos the sole was too hard. It is a tough fight everytime when I have to put on her shoes for her.
This is what we got for her.
It is so ladylike and cute!I think Lil Shauna loves her new shoes too. She particularly likes the ribbon on top. And this pair of shoes is so easy to wear.
She has another pair too. This one makes sound when she walks. But I think she's too young for this pair and her feet kept coming out of the shoes when she walks. 
She has 2 other pairs of shoes too. Hohoho. Now, I need to buy her more new clothes to go with her shoes. ;p

Popo Surrenders
The fever has finally left Lil Shauna. But the nose is still runny and she is still coughing. So, we still have to feed her 3 out of the 4 bottles of medicine and it is plain nightmare. However, nothing is too difficult for popo. I dread it though. Lil Shauna will squirm and shout and cry and everything to refrain from taking her medicine. A total replicate of my sis when she was young. Haha. My worse fear is that after taking all the effort to bluff Lil Shauna to take her medicine, she puked everything out. -.o"
The last time she had fever, it was after her 1st 6-in-1 jab. She was only 3 months old then.
Since then, she had been a healthy baby other than the occasional runny nose and cough bugs that she caught from her cousins. Thus, it really puzzled us quite abit on why she was so sick this time, especially when her 2 jies jies are fine.
Daddy Lim and I had been quite busy at work these 2 days. We were both working late today till 8pm. At 8pm sharp, my mum called and sounded angry. Lil Shauna had been a spoilt brat the whole day. She threw tantrum non-stop and whine badly when she cannot get her way. My mum, the super popo, was totally exhausted and called to complain + check when we are coming to pick her up.
Lil Shauna was whiny but largely alright when we went to pick her. In fact, she was pretty angelic after we brought her home, nothing the sort that my mum had described. Haha, it must be the case that she took pity on us having know that we had a long day at work. Love you baby. Muakz.

Nainai is the Best
Lil Shauna was having fever the whole of yday.
I was with her at my mum's place in the morning while Daddy Lim was at work.
Lil Shauna was so difficult. She couldnt eat/ drink much and was super cranky and whiny. My Mum said that she's made of paper. Every little thing that doesnt go her way makes her crumbled in tears. Then again, she cant speak and thus many things dun go her way.
We brought her to Nainai's place in the afternoon. Unlike my mum's place where the ratio of adults to babies is almost 1:1, Lil Shauna will have all the attention in Nainai's place. Moreover, having not seen her for the past week, we guessed that the adults missed her tons and we were right.
She's a queen. People were running to attend to her. In particularly, Lil Shauna chose to bully Nainai. For the whole afternoon, she literally stick to Nainai. Even when Nainai attempted to cook dinner, she will walk (unassisted) to Nainai and ask Nainai to carry her.
Of course, Nainai cannot bear to reject the already sick and pitiful granddaughter mah. So Nainai carried her around and to the corridor to water the plants and look at the birds the whole afternoon. Lil Shauna refused to let us carry her. Otherwise, she will attempt to squirm and "fall" into Nainai's arms. -.o" I bet Nainai's arm muscle has been trained overnight. But I think Nainai doesnt mind at all. I bet she's overjoyed that Lil Shauna chose her over her parents. Haha. We dun mind either. We got lots on time to watch TV. Kekekeke.
Her fever was still lingering last night, but she seems better this morning. I had to feed her medicine again at midnight cos she measured 38 degrees. I am again on standby mood. Poor baby. Pls pray for recovery.

Sick!
We brought Lil Shauna to the PD on Friday night. We expected a long wait but fortunately, there were only 4 patients before us. It was easy to entertain the walking baby as well.
The PD tot nothing of her rash. After checking her, he concluded that Lil Shauna had caught a cold. We were given 4 bottles of colourful medication and warned that the fever will stay for a while plus her cough and flu will get worse on the 5th day of her fever. Things should get better from the 6th day onwards. -.o"
We fed her the medicine and she appeared to be better than night. After she gone to dreamland, she puked again with all the medicine that we fed and soiled the bedsheet that we had just changed. -.o"
Her fever seems to have left her yday morning,. We were stranded in popo's house the whole day. As her fever didnt come back, we brought her out when we went for dinner and even met Daddy Lim's poly mates in the late evening.
Lil Shauna started feeling a little warm towards the night. We fed her the medicine and she was knocked out shortly. She was Ok too when we were home. But at 4am this morning, she measured 39 degrees! I almost wanted to bathe her to bring down her temperature. But it came down after I fed her the medicine, stuck the cool pad on her head + wiped her. In fact, she didnt looked at all sick. She woke up and started walking around the room and only went to bed after her milk at 5+am.
Her fever was up and down the whole morning and she was super cranky. Her nose was also runny. She hates it when we wipe her nose and threw a tantrum. She couldnt stop crying and chalked up more mucus and phlegm. She cough and sounded as if she's choking and puked a whole lot of milk out. Good thing is that the mucus and phlegm seems to be thrown out too.
Then the cranky baby refused to sleep. She changes her mind on what she wants faster that the bullet train. Now, I am hiding in my sis' bedroom cos she's so sticky to me and when I tried to rock her to sleep, she just refuses.
Haiz, I wonder if I was this difficult when I was sick when I was young. I bet not. My mum says that children dun fall sick for so long during my time. Thermometers were only available at the doctors. They merely feel with their hand. The world is evolving.

Lil Shauna is Still Sick!
In fact, she is even more sick. -.o"
Right after I finished my blog entry last night, Daddy Lim barged into the computer room and asked me to quickly go look at Lil Shauna. He didnt tell me what was wrong and my heart almost stopped at that point. I was fearing for something bad and was quite relieved to find that Lil Shauna had vomited out her milk but she was still sleeping.
She probably vomited quite a bit. The bed sheet was stained and Lil Shauna had milk on her legs, hands, face and ear. Still she was sleeping. Must be the fever. We wiped up and had decided to leave the soiled bedsheet until tonight.
Lil Shauna's heartbeat was really fast when I picked her up and my tots started running wild. Is she developing an reaction to the medicine? Is it not just fever? Has it got anything to do with the vomiting? Daddy Lim asked me to not think too much, afterall, Lil Shauna appeared to be sleeping peacefully. I was quite pissed with myself for not knowing if babies (or Lil Shauna) have faster heartbeat than adults normally causing myself to be in such a helpless situation. I kept taking her temperature to make sure that she's alright and found that her body temperature was quite low. Thus I had the air-con switched off. Poor Daddy Lim.
I woke up a few times in the night to make sure that Lil Shauna was Ok. This morning, Lil Shauna still felt warm at 37.2 degrees, but she was more alert and playful than last night. Not only does she feel warm, she was coughing and I can hear the phlegm when she coughs! Then she sneezed! Arrrggghhhh...
I had a hard time trying to feed her the fever medicine this morning. Last night, she stupidly ate the whole mouthful thinking that the pink liquid was some good mum mum. Today, she's cleverer, she took a little of it and decided that it was not too good. Then, she tried another bit of it and decided that it is indeed bad and refused to take the rest. We had to bluff her. -.o"
If fever is bringing cough, running nose and sore throat along, there will be more medicine to take. Poor baby. Daddy Lim and I are on standby now. If her condition worsen, one of us will make the rush to bring her to the doctor.

Lil Shauna is Sick!
Bcos Lil Shauna had heat rash, Daddy Lim made her walk half naked after her bath last night. In fact, she was butt naked for a while. Daddy Lim even wanted me to tell my mum to leave her half naked in the day. Heat rash mah, so must eliminate heat (sorrie for the video, duno how to flip).
In the late morning, my mum called to say that Lil Shauna is developing a mild fever! I left office at 6.30pm to fetch Lil Shauna.
She wasnt as active as usual. There wasnt any bouncing to welcome us and there was a cooling pad stuck to her forehead. She looks tired and has sleepy eyes and was super sticky and whiny. She measured 37.8 degree. We had a quick dinner and brought her home.
We gave her another shower when we reached home in attempt to keep her body temperature down. We also fed her medicine. She looks better after the shower and medicine.
Her temperature has dropped to normal. Daddy Lim then asked me if it is really his fault causing Lil Shauna to fall sick. Hohoho. No lah, bb. I am guessing that her molars are coming out. Or maybe she caught a cold virus somewhere. Poor baby.

Rash
Lil Shauna's rash didnt go down after 3 days.
My mum suggested that we bring her to the doctor even when we both tot that it is probably nothing serious. As per all mummies, I tot might as well, to play safe.
Actually, I think it is just heat rash. The weather has been horrible recently and Lil Shauna takes after Daddy Lim. She can sweat buckets.
We wanted to bring her to the PD, but the clinic was closed. So, we brought her to the GP.
The doctor looked at her rash (while Lil Shauna stare back as what she usually does when she sees stranger). Then, she takes her temperature. Then she tried for the longest time to look within her little mouth, which was clamp tightly. We had to try to bluff her with sweets. Then, it was the usual hand and feet inspection.
After all the checks, the doctor made an education guess and concluded that "it is probably heat rash". Chey! I think I can be doctor liao. We were just given some lotion and medication to apply but $37 poorer when we left the clinic. -.o"

HellBoy II
Daddy Lim wanted to watch HellBoy II last night. We happened to be in JP and he suggested buying DVD to watch after Lil Shauna has slept. We even bought durian to go with the DVD. Hohoho.
We were busy trying to tuck Lil Shauna to bed after we reached home. Lil Shauna finally went to bed at about 10pm and we started watching our DVD plus durian. Yummy.
The show wasnt too bad but I was wondering what happened in HellBoy I. Daddy Lim then tried to explain and said that we watched HellBoy I together, which I totally have no re-collection. By the time the show ended, it was almost midnight and we crawled to bed.
This morning, we were so tired. Looks like DVDs are best kept to weekends' nights. On our way to work, I asked Daddy Lim about HellBoy I again and told him that I have never watched that movie before. He shared the whole storyline of HellBoy I and still kept insisting that he watched it with me. He even highlighted a few scenes, trying to help me "remember" that I have watched it with him. He went on to say that HellBoy I was screened these recent few years and he must have watched it with me. Otherwise, who?
When I came into the office, I was complaining to my colleague. One of them did a quick search in yahoo. HellBoy I was screened in year 2004. I wasnt with Daddy Lim then lor. -______________-"
See, it wasnt me! I msg Daddy Lim and he pai seh-ly apologised. Chey!

Angry
We heard on the radio yday morning that Singapore has a total of 40 cases of Swine Flu (SF). Out of which, only 1 real transmitted case, whom is a close contact of an infected case. The rest are all imported cases! The latest were a 9-year-old Malaysian boy who who back from a holiday and a 22-year-old man who also came back from a holiday. This morning, the figure had jumped to 47 cases, which include 3 siblings aged 8, 6 & 4, whom have again came back from a holiday.
I was angry while listening to the news. OK, I do agreed that some people have to travel for good reasons, but why are people still taking the risk to go on holiday to infected countries? They wanted to take a risk, probably bcos they had already paid for their holiday and didnt want to spend extra $$ on changes. But when they are back in Singapore, they put us at risk leh. We! Innocent us who didnt dare to travel to Japan for fear of catching the flu! Boo hoo! I bet the parents of that 3 young siblings are probably feeling very guilty now. Bcos they had gone ahead with their plans, they now have to spend more $$, time and energy looking after their 3 sick kids. Pui! Bad parents!
Then Daddy Lim told me about his 2 colleagues who traveled to US bcos they have already bought their tickets way before the SF kicks in and they went ahead with their tour in the heat of the SF to avoid paying extra for changes. Hello??!!
Then my bro will be travelling to US soon for business trip. Double hello??!! What is his Company thinking? We have 3 young babies at home! Haiz.. I am speechless. Yes, the world doesnt stop spinning just bcos there is SF going on. But isnt it just been declared as a World Pandemic? Yet, people dun seem to even care about its seriousness. Why did WHO bother to change the alert from Stage 5 to 6?
A different thing altogether. Lil Shauna developed an angry rash on her back yday's morning. There was also a little on the lower part of her abdomen and face. My mum called and asked wat happened. I didnt even noe that she had rashes. Bad Mummy. I was ready to bring her to the PD if the rash worsen but Lil Shauna appeared OK and just as playful. So it was just plain lotion. Her condition is much better this morning.
I think the rash appeared in the night cos her skin was still silky smooth when I bathe her after swimming on Sunday evening. We were wondering what caused the rashes. The swimming pool water? The pail that she bathe in was dirty? She developed an allergy reaction to the stuff that we fed her on Sunday night? She had cheese cake. Hmmm...

I was angry while listening to the news. OK, I do agreed that some people have to travel for good reasons, but why are people still taking the risk to go on holiday to infected countries? They wanted to take a risk, probably bcos they had already paid for their holiday and didnt want to spend extra $$ on changes. But when they are back in Singapore, they put us at risk leh. We! Innocent us who didnt dare to travel to Japan for fear of catching the flu! Boo hoo! I bet the parents of that 3 young siblings are probably feeling very guilty now. Bcos they had gone ahead with their plans, they now have to spend more $$, time and energy looking after their 3 sick kids. Pui! Bad parents!

Pictures
Lil Shauna looks super cute when she wakes up in the morning or from her nap.
My sis is into photography recently and got herself a super expensive camera with many, many functions.
I offered to lend her Lil Shauna as a model for practice and charge her minimal fee. But she declined me flat. Chey!
Anyway, she still took a few pix for us and I get to play with her camera too. A few shots that I took. Not too well, a bit blur but I am happie enuff already.
My favouites.
The first one was so professionally taken wor (in my opinion lah). I even got her flying hair. Hohoho. The second one was just so comical. She looked as if she's waiting for a body search. ;p
Some of the pixs that my sister took for us.
She's into black & white too.
This is my sis' favourite.
My sis has a link for all her nice pixs that she took. The link is in my office email. Will post when I get it. I asked her to put all the pix up but she said only nice pix will make it up there. So only that favourite one will go up. Pui! Lil Shauna so cute, all her pix all nice hor. ;p
Mummy Lim
No!
We realised that Lil Shauna is beginning to refuse when we sometimes want to take something from her. I was just wondering if it is a natural reaction or she learnt it from somewhere. I think it is the latter.
I went to my mum's place this morning hoping to escape a little. Then I saw the girls (Felicia & Lil Shauna) fighting for toys. Lil Shauna was playing with a toy camera. Felicia wanted that toy and started "bao bao, bao bao", as she usually would when she wanted something from Lil Shauna. This "bao bao" episode will happen so many times in one day. Back to the point, Lil Shauna refused to let her have the toy and Felicia attempted to snatch the toy for her. So, I saw our little princess clutched the toy tightly with both hands, swung her hands (with the toy) left and right for a few times and finally swung to the side that is far away from Felicia. Then Lil Shauna shouted at Felicia, as if trying to say, "No! That is MY toy or at least I saw it first and I picked it up first!". Then, Felicia couldnt get what she wanted and started crying and kicked up a fuss. I bet if I am not around, the adults would probably try to bluff the toy from Lil Shauna and give it to Felicia in attempt to stop her crying. When she throw tantrums, it is actually quite bad. -.o"
I was telling my mum that Lil Shauna probably picked up from her 2 cousins and my mum replied that it is no surprise since Lil Shauna spent so much time with the 2 girls. I jokingly said that Lil Shauna has learnt self-defence! For the longest time, she has her toy snatched from her and all she can do is to sit around stupidly and looked at whoever that snatches her toy away. Then she will pick up another toy and have the same thing happen to her again and again. Our princess is fighting back... but... hmmm.. I wonder if there is a good thing. I tot people say that if baby grow up with other babies, they will learn how to share? How come Lil Shauna is learning how to fight?
Oh, we had hell at my mum's place this morning. The 3 girls went in the living room as per usual. Fione was probably seeking attention and wanted the maid to play with her. Then, my mum wanted the maid to carry Felicia. Lil Shauna was also fussy probably bcos it was almost porridge time and she's hungry. My mum wanted to carry Lil Shauna to give me a rest. Then, Fione started throwing tantrum and crying bcos she wanted the maid all to herself and forbid the maid to carry Felicia. To try to appease Fione, the maid wanted to put Felicia down, which made Felicia cried. Lil Shauna also cried bcos she was playing with me and my mum wanted to carry her. So we have 3 crying babies. My mum scolded Fione for being unreasonable which made her cried more. Felicia stated throwing tantrums and continued crying. Lil Shauna stopped and started again bcos the 2 jie jies were crying. Arrgggghhhh! And my bro & SIL were still discussing about terminating the maid! I seriously duno how they will manage if they sent the maid away. Their 2 kids are just amazingly difficult. Lil Shauna is nothing compared to them and I sometimes think Lil Shauna is difficult. Haiz.
I had tot about taking over the maid but we will be very stretched financially and Lil Shauna is getting easier. We dun need a maid now. Maybe when no. 2 comes along. Oh, I was just telling Mummy P that day that if I dun need to go thru' pregnancy and giving birth, I dun mind 3 kids! But looking at the mess this morning, I think I better think 3x, 4x, 5x! Hohoho.

Addicted to Lil Shauna
Lil Shauna is a drug. As she grows and reciprocates, her magnetic fields seems to grow stronger and we ended up like helpless iron flakes.
We missed her like crazy when we dun bring her home. I cant bear but have to bring her home even when I work late. Thus all the crazy rush home at 8pm so that we can pick the baby, spend some time "walking" with her and tucking her to bed. Apparently, Daddy Lim and I are not the only victims.
Yeye and nainai fall prey too. We will try to spend every Sunday at their place so that they have more time to interact with Lil Shauna. From the 2 hours and have dinner every Sunday, we have upgraded to 8 or 9 hours. We basically sit around and do nothing much, but yeye and nainai had great joy just watching Lil Shauna.
Before Daddy Lim & I got married, we used to coop in the room. After we got married and shifted out, we barely visit them 2x per month. We tried fortnightly when Lil Shauna was swimming in my tummy. Now, we are there every Sunday.
Should we are a little late, say after 2pm. Daddy Lim's hp will ring. Yeye or nainai will call and ask when Lil Shauna is coming. Yes, not us, but Lil Shauna. I bet it doesnt matter if we are there. If Lil Shauna can take the MRT, they wouldnt mind if she goes alone. Haha. If we cant go on any of the Sundays, we know that they will feel disappointed. At the end of the Sunday visit, nainai will walk us all the way to the staircase and kept telling Lil Shauna to come again next week!
Lil Shauna seems to glue the family together. Now, I go home for dinner almost every night and accompany my mum (vice versa) for window shopping on weekends. Something that I dun do before I got married. I even go out with my bro's family. At yeye's place, everybody would try to be in the living room, so as to spend some time with the baby. That just leaves us more time to interact too.
Lil Shauna is an addiction but a blessing as well. A great gift from God, an answer to our prayers. Thank you, Lord. :)

Picaso in the Making
Lil Shauna has taken to drawing. She loves pens and markers, but always ended up with ink on her hands, legs, clothes, floor and table. We decided to help develop her creativity and found her some non-toxic crayons instead (courtesy of ah yee). To prevent her from colouring the floor, we got her mahjong paper and put her in the middle of the paper.
Her creation, with Mummy's help.
Check out her pants. Got crayon mark, just like how artists sometimes get paint on themselves. Hohoho.

5 Aunties, 1 Kid and 3 Babies
I met up with the girls for lunch on Sun. Daddy Lim has to work so I went alone with Lil Shauna. Truth be told, I never like to be alone with Lil Shauna. She can be difficult at times and I hate to be caught in those times. I supposed I am worried that I cant handle her while she's throwing tantrum and how to guess what a baby wants when she cant talk? But of course, it will be done in times of bo bian-ness.
My mum actually offered to tag along but I told her not to. I think she will enjoy herself more with my bro's family. They were on their way out too and Lil Shauna and I got a free ride to Novena Square. Otherwise, we would have grabbed a cab. I seriously arent game for MRT. I didnt want to bring along the stroller and it is no joke slinging a 10kg baby from Boon Lay to Novena. Lil Shauna refuses to let me ergo her. $120 leh!
We were early and the moment we got down from the car, the baby refuses to cooperate. Instead of sitting comfortably in the sling, she struggled badly and almost slipped off the sling. I had no choice but to let her walk. Bcos Lil Shauna gets distracted so easily while walking and sometimes ended up walking in circles, we ended up walking for 15 mins before we finally reach Novena Square 2 from Square 1. Heng we were early. Then she saw this mini pond and wanted to jump into the pond. -.o" Bcos Mummy said "no", baby cried. Double -.o"
Heng the girls werent too late either. Mummy SY arrived with Baby G. Baby G was sleeping peacefully in the ergo while Lil Shauna attempted to walk the restaurant. Then S arrived followed by Mummy P with Baby C, who too sit quietly on her mummy's lap. Only Lil Shauna was monkeying around. -.o" Finally Mummy SL and J joined us. J is a big boy already. :) Then it was busy-attempting-to-down-the-food-while-trying-to-feed-and-entertain the baby.
Thereafter, we went to another bakery to drink coffee + chit chat. There wasnt much shopping to do. Seriously, no shopping could be done with that many kids around. There was much trying to catch up amidst trying to entertain the kids.
At one point, I was really proud of us that we could perform such an amazing feat - meet up, catch up and take care of so many kids. Maybe it is bcos I am not fantastic with Lil Shauna. The girls are great. I never have to worry whenever I come out with them, even if I am alone with Lil Shauna. Other than taking care of their own kids, they just somehow managed to find an extra hand to help too, hehe.
Oh ya, Baby C is so cute. She is a small lady. She even has her own hair band and even requested to wear her hair band!
And I think I have to start looking for future boyfriends for Lil Shauna liao. J Gorgor says that he likes Baby C best (among the 3 girls) and had a pix taken with Baby G! Sob, Lil Shauna no chance liao. Lol!

No Time
A few days ago, friend called to share that another friend was feeling gloomy bcos of some reasons. But I couldnt find time to find out more from both friends.
A few days ago, I was overseeing a particular role of a big event. It screwed up bcos I have no time to do proper checking before the event actually starts.
My girls are working hard and late as I have been throwing out a lot of work bcos I have no time. I sometimes get frustrated with people at work when things/ work dun go as planned as I have no time to dor re-work/ chasing. There are just too many things to do. I sometimes couldnt concentrate during meetings bcos my mind is already thinking about the next piece of work.
I am following up on an project and I feel that I am doing it injustice. I could have done a much better job and not hoping that the person taking over will come soon. I feel lousy towards the said person. I wish I have time.
I haven gone shopping or done something for myself for the longest time bcos there is simply no time. To be able to sit in front of the TV and stare blankly is a luxury now.
Lil Shauna barely gets to see me for 2 hours a day for the past week bcos I was busy at work and have no time to spent with her. That probably explains why she had been rejecting me. Sob! I had to force her to go to bed early last night bcos Daddy Lim was leaving for his jamming session and I was too tired to chase around a walking baby. She eventually felt asleep after getting frustrated that I was restricting her movement. I felt so guilty that I deprived her of her already short hours with us and at home.
Sorry baby.
Sob. I need more than 24 hours a day! I feel that my life is flying by.
I hope things will turn better. I am counting down.

Water Baby
Lil Shauna loves the water.
Actually, she was scare of water when she's younger. I still remember how she started crying when we stepped (with her) into the pool on the cruise when she's 6 months' old. Strangely, she developed a liking for it subsequently. Now, she loves bathing and swimming. She will attempt to crawl into her bath tub and whenever we are at outdoor water park, she will attempt to walk in too.
We brought her to the Marina Barrack last Sunday. I am mountain tortoise, 1st time there too. When we were driving there, I realised that it is where Marina South used to be. I felt so nostalgic while on the way. Reminds me of all those steamboat buffet, arcade and pool center and also Canto. Hohoho.
Marina Barrack is basically a big open area with a shallow water fountain.
Lil Shauna was happily walking about and was super excited when she saw the water fountain. She simply couldnt wait.
Daddy Lim & I had to take turns to "walk" the baby.
Soon, we ended up with a wet baby.
We didnt brought along any swim diapers and Lil Shauna had to play in the water with her usual diaper. Soon, she was squatting more than walking due to the very heavy diaper. We had to take off her diaper. The diaper weighs at least 1kg lor.
Being wet & without diaper, we ended with a very sexy baby.
Then, on Sunday, we brought Lil Shauna for a swim at the Yishun swimming pool. Nainai went with us and had a good time watching Lil Shauna enjoying herself.
Since the crusie, Lil Shauna has "upgraded" from sitting in the pool to walking around in the pool.
After the swim, we brought her back to Nainai's place and she had a warm shower while Daddy Lim fed her orange and Nainai feed her freshly squeezed orange juice. Then I dried her and rubbed lotion all over. A princess indeed. Kekeke.

Bad Night
Yday was one of those bad nights.
Lil Shauna just refuses to go to bed.
We tried tucking her in and 9.30pm and I was armed with a bottle of milk as per other nights. However, she wriggled and squirmed and pushed away the milk bottle, taking every opportunity to sit/ stand up or crawl away. We gave in and she got off the bed and starting walking holding to one of our hands. She kept walking up and down, from the bed to the full-length mirror & back. She probably walked 258 times. After xth no. of times, we will try to catch her and feed her milk, hoping that the walking has tired her out and she will cooperate and go to bed. But apparently not. After each failed milk attempt, she will continue to walk up & down.
Finally, she fell. It wasnt really a fall actually. I dun even think it was painful but she cried so badly until her face was tears and mucus filled. -__________-" Then Daddy Lim got angry with her. Double -___________-" She cried somemore and we had to get out of the house and loiter the corridor to appease her.
After she stopped, we went back to the bedroom. She was obviously tired but still rejecting her milk!!?? Daddy Lim offered to carry her and rock her to sleep. Her eyes were half close within 2 mins. That was how tired she was.
Within 5 mins, she was off to dreamland. It was already 11pm. We took 1.5 hours to tuck her to bed. I had to dreamfeed her cos I seriously dun want to wake up in the middle of night to a hungry baby. Her last feed was at 7+pm.
This morning, nothing could wake her. Despite changing hands/ carrying positions a few times, she slept all the way to popo's place. Haiz. We still couldnt fathom her reluctance to drink milk & sleep. There was nothing out of ordinary/ routine that we did last night.
It is so nice to be a baby. Poor us, after kena tortured still have to wake up for work. Sob!

DL: Bcos it is purple in color.
ML: ??
DL: You leh.
ML: Durian.
DL: Why?
ML: Bcos high in fats content. Hohoho.
