The Lives of 2 beautiful souls + 1 more..*love*

Seems to me that blogging will be a weekly affair.. :P

I really do want to blog but time do not permit and when I have the opportunity to, I am too tired..

So pardon me for the lack of updates/photos.. :)

Just look at the clock now..Its 2.29 am and I am here..

I just can't sleep!!

Darling Hubby and Darling Auni are fast asleep, side by side..I wish I could join them..*sigh*

So how have I been or rather what have I been up to?

I am fine, Alhamdulillah, and so is my family.. :)

Started the week in a maddening way cos Auni was so cranky last Sun till I couldn't go to work on Mon cos she cried during the night(till Mon morning) and so did I..Heh..

She was back to her usual self on Mon afternoon..My Mummy says its just those 'beralih bulan' thingy..Which I still do not understand what that means..Hahaha!!

The piece of good news for the week is that my good pal/blogger friend, Shay-Shida, has safely delivered her baby boy on Thurs, 20th Nov..Congrats to you and hubby!! He is a charmer!! :*

Oh, speaking of babies..

A relative of mine recently delivered her 2nd son..Went visiting on Friday night(seen her @ the hospital so this is a house visit)..The most irritating part was when I just sat and made myself comfortable on the couch, someone asked me if I 'uwek uwek already'..

Excuuuuseee me!!!

Just cos that relative just had her 2nd, doesn't mean I should have mine too!!

Her 1st has just turned a year old!!

Mind you, Auni is just 4 and a half month old!!! I have yet to see much of her growth/development!!

I find it is so irritating when people ask me silly questions like that..Yes, those are silly questions cos they never think before asking!!

If it is so easy to bring a baby up(in the high standard of living country like S'pore), I would looooooooove to have my 2nd asap..

But no!

Everything here is so expensive..I have so much to think about before I can actually try for my 2nd baby..Bills/loans/expenses..

Honestly, I could not afford to have my 2nd baby so soon..

And I do not plan to..

Reason being that I want Auni to be at least 2-3 years old where she is more independent(eg: able to tell me when she is hungry/needs the toilet)..Being independent is important as I am living on my own and I have noone except for DH to help me..It would be easier for us when Auni is at the stage where she can let us know of her needs..

Right now, I am a mother of an adorable 4 and half month old..I am learning so much as days go by..Everything is still new to me and I am growing with the knowledge on taking care of my own child and on being a good mother..Learning about child development and taking care of a child/children during my studies is definitely different from my personal experience of taking care of my own child..I do know that Auni needs more personal time with me before she can have a title of being an elder sister..She is still growing and she needs my full attention..

Unlike that relative, who leaves the responsibility of caring for her 1st to her mom..She did that even way before she was pregnant with her 2nd..How sad..

No, I am not like her..

So stop asking me to BE like her..We are totally opposite of each other..Our opinions,beliefs and how we see our roles as mothers are different..I believe in being a hands-on Ummi and making sure that Auni grows up, meeting the developmental milestones..I care for her education, her health..I have even started an insurance plan for her..Boy, it sure is costly..Cos of that, I am more frugal now..No more online shopping..No more unnecessary splurges..I just can't afford to do so..

I am being really honest here..

Having Auni is a blessing but it can also be very tough..

Well, that's life..

And it just makes DH and myself closer and stronger.. :)

With that said, I can give out a sigh of relief, getting this out of my chest..

Its been infuriating, having silly people asking silly questions..They do not understand or even bother to care about more serious issues in their own family but ask about silly things like this to others..Like the famous Malay saying, 'jangan jaga tepi kain orang.'

Ok, moving along now..

Miss Auni??

She misses you too..Hehe.. :)

This is her passport pic..The first pic was rejected.. :P

What has Auni been up to?

Reading!!

Well, not exactly..She loves looking at books..I think she is going to be a bookwork, like me..Hehe.. :)

I would love to share the pics I've taken of her reading(or rather, looking at books..heh) but this is DH's Mac and I can't upload the pics here..Blueks..

Will post those pics up soon..I hope! :P

And before I go,

Do support DH and his good pals!!

Go here!!

I am soooooooo darn proud of him of finally realising his dream of having his own venture partnership..It is still new and yet, he has already taken in some customers..Very, very proud of you, Darling!! I will be a good wifey and support you all the way(even though it means some quality time with me and Auni are taken away for you to do some jobs)..

Like what they say,behind every successful man is a lady..

In my case,behind Darling Hubby are myself and my adorable Auni..

Take care, lovelies!! :)
