Little V

After I came back from my China Trip, Little Vera has started to walk.
She can walk really fast and steady now.
In fact, we think that at times she wants to run too! :P


Unfortunately, she has also been down with fever, cough, sore throat and cold for the past 1 and 1/2 weeks.
Good thing is that she is now recovering tho' it seemed that she still have a fair bit of phlegm. :S

Y'day when Vera saw me kissing dh on the cheek, she immediately followed suit and kiss me too and with the kissing sound as well! its really cute.
Still brings a smile on my lips now that I think of it. :)

Below is a pic we took y'day...
Is she cute or what? ;P

Some updates...

I've been laxed again!!!! :P

Celebrated Vera's 1st b'day at the Downtown East...
Good fun, great BBQ food (thanks to Ariel, Eva n hubby for helping with the BBQ!) and with even better company - all the makings of a great party!

hubby got me a bag tt I was eyeing the other day - said early b'day pressie...
and later bought me an iphone! *yippee dooodle* and said its my b'day pressie too!
Think No more presents aft ther iphone since it doesn't come cheap. :P

Then all too soon, I had to leave for Shanghai for work.
Now in Suzhou... the weather is great! between 15degrees to about 24 degrees.
Great cooling weather just the way I like it! :)
The flowers are all blooming in Suzhou.
Great vibrant colors all over.
Maple trees are still red... think should be turning green soon, already see some changing colors.

Meetings are packed... tired... missing my bed and most of all - my 3 babies...
Miss their presence, their smell, their voice, their company, everything!
Changed my flight to a midnight flight just so that I can get home earlier...
Can't wait to get home as usual!

V is turning 1 soon!!

How time flies! Seems like such a short time ago when I had just delivered baby V!

And now my little baby is turning 1 in less than a week...
if only she can stay on to be a baby... :P

V is getting smarter and smarter these days...
if she's touching and/ or doing things that she isn't supposed to, she would stop and take a look around her to see if mummy is around...
And if mummy isn't around to scold or smack her little hands, she will continue to do/ touch the stuff... even if there are other adults around telling her not to, she will develop "selective hearing syndrome" and apparently won't be able to hear...

BUT if she hears mummy booming loud voice, she will immediately stop for a while, then immediately crawl to mummy and pretends nothing has happened!
And she's not even 1 yet!

A conversation with K

Had the below conversation on 30 march 2009 with K.
Till now when I recall the conversation, it still brings on a smile. :)

Y'day I had the following conversation with Kady:

K: Mummy! My friend told me tt get Married means can molest each other.
M: Huh?
K: Aiyah. My friend said aft married, then can kissy and molest each other lah!
M: What do you mean by molest each other?
K: Means touch here touch there lah! You dunno ah?
M: .... lost for words....

K: Mummy! So did you and Daddy molest each other?
M: err... why don't you ask Daddy?
K: Daddy! Did you molest Mummy??

its over for more than a week...

Its been slightly over a week since Ye has passed on...
I watched Ye slowly drawing his last breathe then to totally stop breathing.

I watched him lying still in his coffin, every day till he was cremated.
I cried buckets during the 1st few nights.
When I went back to work, everyone said I looked very down and haggard. :(
I felt the same inside. I felt very down too tho' I did try to make an effort to smile more and to hide my pain. But I guessed it still shows.

I am finally getting some sleep. Not sure if its due to pure tiredness after so many consecutive nights of not much sleep. Am down with cold but so is Vera and hubby.

Finally coming to terms that Ye is not here anymore...

Ye is gone...

Ye has passed away peacefully on 12 March...

with his passing - I learnt that no matter how mentally prepared you are for the demise of a loved one, you can never be mentally prepared enough.

Grandma is taking it well. better than any1 of us thought.
That is good.

I pray that Ye is in a better place.
A place where there is no more pain, no more suffering, no more sickness, no more worries.
A place where he can be free, beautiful and happy.

I am glad that I have the chance to say I Love you, Ye.
I am glad to have the chance to ease some of your worries.
I don't hate him anymore, Ye.
I meant that when I told you y'day before you left.

Thank you for your love and care.
Thank you for being there for me.
Thank you for being a better dad than my own dads will ever be.
Thank you for loving me like your own daughter
and for standing up to him whenever he was unreasonable.
I love you, Ye.
You will always have a special place in my heart.

Wherever you are, don't worry about us.
We will take care of ourselves knowing that you'll always be with us in our hearts.
