Not really in d mood to blog dis week...
Hubby and i just lost our DATUK...
We have been bz w d 'kenduri' over d weekends...and having d 7th day kenduri dis fri also...
At the same time...Dad just got admitted to SGH again...for d second time since last mth...
This time is for another operation due to a growth in his intestine...
In fact he just went in d operation theatre a while ago...
I am heading to SGH to visit him later!...
Sis n i r so worried abt his condition....furthermore...next weekend is an important weekend for us...A big event goin on...
Just hope Dad will recover by then...

I also just received sum bad news frm a fren...
I am so affected by it...and i am feeling so sorry for her..
I just hope SHE is strong enuff to go thru it..
I noe how it feels...i've been thru breakups too..
But i guess a breakup just a few mths away frm yr big day is really devastating..
God noes best and maybe its better now than later....

Only a mth old...and he is already a PARTY-GOER!!
Quazza have attended two bday parties last weekend...
One is for Eka's dotter-Chariska Diva Anugerah 6th Bday and the other Waty's son A'isy Qashri's 1st Bday!


As the first party has a theme-Princess n Prince...Quazza came dressed in a Little Crown Romper w matching booties n mittens...but unfortunately dis lil royalty fell asleep thruout d party as alwiz...

A'isy's bday bash was just as fun and this time he was quite awake...perhaps becos of d noisy surroundings...
It was also a fun n enjoyable time for me to be able to meet sum of my dance frens as i haven't seen them for sum time...

Aniway , i haven't really got the time to update my blog as frequent as last time becos my hands r so full w either work or handling Quazza...
He have been a gd boyand behaving so well...
The only time he cries is wen he wants milk...which is quiet freguently...
He have been growing so rapidly that he have outgrown most of his clothes...
Sum he only got to wear them for once or twice..others...he havent even got a chance to wear..

His latest development now is....SMILING!!
He smile wen i talk to him...he smile wen he noes i am feeding him...and he smile even wen he is left alone to himself...like u c d pic above...
I really wonder wat he was thinking dat made him SMILE to himself...

The pic above is my current fav of him wearing his first pair of jeans...and top which r both meant for 3-6mths...The clothes fit him quite nicely...so i have to start reorganizing his wardrobe...
Here u c a pic of him w my dance students wen he followed me to work last tuesday...
He was so well behaved...that even the teacher frm Changkat Changi Sec told me to bring him more often next time...
Usually i will leave him w my sis's maid but once in a while i would bring him along wen my dance classes r pretty short....
Aini was nice enuff to take care of him while i teach n choreograph...
She had a gd time helping me feed Quazza and had sum small 'conversations' w him....babytalk abt...dunno wat...and d lil man seems to like her a lot...:-)

Babies r simply cute n adorable that everyone just can't seem to resist the temptation of cuddling n kiss them..
I have alwiz love kids...and wanting to have my very own so having Quazza in my life is such a blessing which every mom in this world would understand..

I could clearly remember how tough i was on d first week...when i had to wake up every hour at night to feed him...change his nappy and pump milk for him even when he was in hospital for 2 days due to jaundice because i was having a v bad engorgement...
Breastfeeding is not so easy as i thought and i almost give up when my nipples became sore after a few days..
However , the fact that breastmilk is perfect and best for d baby kept me strong n still persevere to breastfeed my baby..
I noe that most working moms have to give up breastfeeding their child because its very tiring as breastfed babies demand for milk much more frequent..but i really hope all d mom-to-be out there will try to breastfeed as least d first few weeks or mth before they switch to formula when they end their maternity leave at home..
In fact most doctors would definitely recommend breastfeeding exclusively fr d first 6mths..

There's this book title 'What to expect'-The First Year by Heidi Murkoff,Arlene Eisenberg & Sandee Hathaway which i strongly recommend to all d new moms or mom-to-bes out there..
I learned so much abt breastfeeding and all d different issues pertaining to baby handling frm this book other than all d pointers n tips shared by my experienced family n frens...

There is no standard manual in handling a child because every child is different. So at the end of the day...u as a mom just have to evaluate watever info u have n analyse its relevance to yr child n trust yr instincts...cos MOMS NOE BEST...

P/S: I wanna congratulate a blog reader of mine who just got pregnant and expecting her first baby...As i was told that its a hush2 thingy and i am only among d few who noes abt it besides her family...i tink its best that her name is not mentioned yet...
I am so happy for her...and so pleased that she will also be seeing my gynae..Dr Arthur Tseng at The Private Suite KKH...Hope u n yr baby will be fine...eat well n stay happy for yr baby!!

Adios!!

It was d very first time d SIX of us could go out together...
All this while its only 5 of us...plus Q still in d tummy...
So last Thurs evening , Hubby me n Q went out w Elyn , Ayun & Shaista for a simple dinner outing at Clementi ( My fav chken rice shop)followed by an Ice Cream Session at Ben & Jerry's Dempsey....




Lil Shaista is still trying to adapt to d presence of lil Q now...
She seemed v curious studying Q's every moves...and ....
I tink she is pretty jealous of d attention dat Quazza gets frm everyone suddenly...cos she used to be d only lil one whom me , hubby and her parents would carry , cuddle n play with...

She can still keep her cool wen she sees her MOM holding Quazza for a while...

But the moment she sees her daddy hold Quazza....
She started crying ....which was pretty CUTE i must say...
Well..she is still a small child after all...
Its perfectly alright for her to feel jealous...
Its harmless...
Cos i tink its perfectly normal for lil children to feel jealous and insecure over issues like dat...
Doesnt seem so silly....
BUT WEN ITS ADULTS who behave dat way...hmmm...
I just wonder y...
And this time its not so harmless anymore...JEALOUSY among ADULTS between family and friends can really cause a lot of UNHAPPY ENDINGS...

Its been abt a mth since i gave birth to BABY Q...
During pregnancy , i have put on a total of 22kg...which is CRAZY i noe...
But to date ,i have only reduced 17kg...
Haiz...still a long way to go...
No time to go jogging or gym to work out w dis lil man by my side now...
So as a result , i am feeling quite worried n disturbed whenever i look at myself in d mirror ...seeing all dis excess baggage...
Furthermore , i have few events coming up...
I will be back dancing n involved w sum shows coming up...
And a few happy occasions like my close galfrens engagement n weddings in a few mths time...
Being a bridesmaid...i definitely need to look GD...
So...i am v stressed...
I have been watching my diet like crazy...
Thanx to hubby for being my adviser on dat...
I believe a gd diet n healthy lifestyle is all it takes to get back in shape...
I dun tink i will go for slimming pills or any kinda formula of dat sort...
And hubby just called me a moment ago saying dat he was at GNC and just bought me lotsa health supplements for Nursing Mom...
Cos we both wants d best for BABY Q...
He needs all d nutrients frm my breastmilk cos i am still doing total breastfeeding...

I have also started working last week even though its pretty too soon after my delivery...
Well wat to do...
I have plenty of performances n competitions to prepare for my students...
I have 5 dance choreography to do...hmmm....v stressful too..
Hope this could help me lose weight...hehe....

Quazza Ilhandyl is now a mth old...
Frm 3.7kg at birth now he is 5.4kg...
Hmmm...my lil man is really getting bigger n SMARTER by d day...




Ok will blog more tomoro or sum other day perhaps...cos i got to get ready...going out w my baby n hubby...and now..i need longer time to get ready...

I had an eventful weekend...mixed w happy n sad occasions...
It started w a fun n enjoyable sat w my family members at ALOHA CHANGI CHALET..
Actually i wasnt supposed to be present becos i am still in my confinement period..but i still ended up attending d gathering becos my 'expertise' was needed sumhow in one of d games..which was v fun n surprising..
We had a game which is like a pageant for d male cousins to dress up as a GAL...and dats wen i come in!!


I was v worried Quazza would be cranky n crying being in such a noisy n crowded place but fortunately he was pretty fine n spent most of d time sleeping in one of d chalet rooms...as my cousins and aunts took turns to take care of him wen me n hubby r occupied...
It was also a surprise wen my sis announced my Wedding Anniversary which was on
d following day...

So hubby , me n quazza got a chance to have our family pic taken w d yummy mango cake..

Sun 3rd Jan 2010 was our v 1st Wedding Anniversary therefore we decided to go out as a family to kinda hav a small celebration...




We planned to have dinner at Carousel after shopping ard town but unfortunately we received a phonecall informing me that my cousin just passed away..
We had to cancel our dinner plans n rushed to CGH ..
Abg Anu ( Anver) was a v nice n kind cousin who helped me n hubby a lot for our wedding.
He helped to get us our wedding ring as he was working in Tiffany & CO. ...

He also helped alot during d wedding function and presented us a huge Tiffany & Co vase which was airflown all d way frm d U.S cos he remembered me saying i like dat vase.
It was shocking to lose him as he is just 40 and still have kids which r quite young...
I hope Kak Yani , his wife will be strong enuff to go thru dis...although i noe she is in a pretty bad state dis few days...
Seeing how Kak Yani and d kids dat day really melted my heart and made me realise how much i should treasure my loved ones while they r still ard...

Yesterday was d funeral but i couldnt attend it as Quazza was already been scheduled for his circumcision ...









That was another challenging moment for me...
Seeing my precious lil baby in pain crying...really was v tough too..
Tears rolled down my cheeks although d Doc have already reminded me to be strong n not cry wen i c d procedure...

He was quite cranky n crying alot wen he got home yesterday but eventually felt too tired n slept for quite some time..
But i am glad d procedure is over...now i am just hoping Quazza will recover soon...
Insya Allah
