Notty Act Caught

I recalled back our wonderful moments for the past year, whenever you show us your broadest smile, we laugh & joy about it. When u fall sick, we start to be in panic mode. Every action from u causes a reaction from us. I had always store your smile, your naughty act & your every single behaviour in my heart & reviewed it frequently, on the bus, on the train or whenever I am bored at work. I had always shared my joy about you with the loved ones around me.

For the 1st time since you joined the family, I cried at the hospital with so much reluctances to admit & leave you for photo-theraphy. On the same night I visited you alone despite braving through the rain & cried before leaving ward.

Lack of posting

4th haircut since birth

The lack of my posting is due to the overwhelming amounts of household chores to be completed in the evening since the maid left....


Equation : Maid-less = Alot of household chores to be completed
= no time for personal stuff at night


Meantime will try to blog soon..
