our ordinary year - 2010

Though this is late, better than nothing. It wasn't easy for me to do this... took me a month and a half to flip my scribbles here and there as well as status posted in FB. I see my self so much tardy in recording Little Bomber's growth and development; so lacking in jotting down Jiejie's laughs and chirps. SC almost lose his position in my priority list:(.

So I insist to do this post, 2010 is the year that made us a family of FOUR, a year that i needed to re-prioritise things in my life. I have to admit that I have not consistently do craft or kitchen fun with Jiejie for a long time which I feel bad about it. Our bedtime story or reading has become less demand from her due to diverted attention of mine to little Bomber. Adding a sister into the family does impact her a little, but she constantly show her loves to meimei which really melt my heart and reminded my self to squeeze time or her.

Anyway, we had tough time, breeze time and crazy time, when I look back, life is not as bad as I thought and we move forward.

JAN: Busy month on handing over (before went on maternity leave), at the same time rushing for posting a tender at work. Was preparing and counting down to the delivery day too... was hoping to have a early burst!

Jiejie attended her very first wushu test and she passed!


FEB: CNY time.
Stay in KL to celebrate CNY without hy and SC for the first time after 5 years. Missed them badly on one hand; cherished my family's love and care on the other.


MAR:
Felt rapid contraction on my birthday, dearest meimei then born the very next day.

Underwent the confinement month was like triathlon under a scorching afternoon, not physically but mentally and emotionally painful. At the same time I realised that I have to relearn so many things like nursing and engorgement, baby's jaundice and sleeping patterns, post-natal, managing Jiejie and baby paralleling, managing time and mood... Felt uneasy to my self even though mum and SC's aunt (took turns) to help out.


APR:
Horrified confinement month ended and my very first month as mother of two began. Learnt more about little meimei; geared my self toward a better M.O.T. Met and "interviewed" Adelene, the babysitter for meimei.

MAY:
Jiejie temporary withdrawn from her school and went back with me and meimei to stay in KL for loves and supports. Even though I was so glad to be home again, Jiejie missed her daddy very much; while meimei started to show her true colour, and got her name the titleof little Bomber . I was almost surrendered to her and broke my boundary to her, but mum taught me to reposition my self.


JUN:Resumed work in mid June, struggling badly between work, family and personal life. Digi-scrapbooking in between time relieved my tension.


JUL:
A challenging month when Jiejie had a battle with a very nasty bug.


AUG:
Marked my breastfeeding journey with little Bomber the 5th month. Learn more about breastfeeding while needed to take a full course of antibiotic.


SEP:
Celebrated Jiejie's 5th birthday in her "skool". She learnt her birthday is 24th September! I am grateful for 5 beautiful years of togetherness.


OCT:
With some help from mother in law, full time working mama of two managed well while daddy went to the State for 2 weeks of training. Sometime, I think I need a break from SC and don't mind to be stuck with the girls.


NOV:
Marked Little Bomber's 8 months old and made our first family trip to Perth.


DEC:Enjoyed to see Jiejie's beam to complete her art pieces.

Had a simple lunch with my very old friend in KL on the very last day of the year. She insisted, as we were not seeing each other since my last visit to her when she was in confinement after she gave birth to her son... though we chat regularly online. She was my best friends who i can afford to be stupid with, who is now a super mum herself.
Parenting is the major part of my life and kids may be tricky to handle at times, but I count my blessings:).
