I Just Need ZZZZZ

Feb-27-2008 By shirley

I have been very sick from diarrhaea since weekend and at the same time my daughter’s tummy got infected which caused ‘boil’ on the skin. I cannot take care of myself and my daughter, so my smart move.. knock at my mummy’s door.

My mummy open the door with open heart… cook delicious soup and at the same time put the chinese medicine for chrissa. So pity my mummy, she have to do ‘2 in 1′ job. Yesterday my mummy was a great nurse for both me and my little girl.

Last night, we were back at our home. I am feeling much better after taking the medicine the doctor prescribe. My little girl woke up at 1.00am, crying.. ‘mummy.. pain’ she might feel itchy. I bring her to our living room, fed her milk.. sang her lullaby until she fall asleep without touching her tummy. .. poor baby.

Today, after sending Chrissa to her nanny, i am back to work feeling sleepy and tired.. so tired. What i really need is a good rest. .. i can take a nap during lunch time.. while writing this my colleague is nicely taking her sweet nap…zzzzzz…ayo.

I cannot imagine how my mummy, being a homemaker managed to take care of four children. I dont think you will have time to rest if you are at home.

Being A Mother

Feb-19-2008 By shirley

I remember when i was single, my mummy used prepare everything for me. Not only during my school time but also after i got my job. Imagine that, i was so ‘manja’ with my mummy and still am.. hehe. She will wakes me up every morning, cook breakfast for me and when i come back from work, the dinner is ready. When i’m sick, she will be by my side. What a life! siok oh.. like a princess.

When i got married and have children on my own, i then realized how heavy and tough is it being a mother and a wife. There were times that i was so tired and cannot cope with stress. I have been in the situation that i fainted in front of my kids and husband, crying alone and even sitting down doing nothing.. blank.

Women should prepare themselves before landing into motherhood.. be prepared .. physically and also mentally. I ever asked my mummy.. that i cannot be a mother like her, she said ‘in your children’s eyes, you are the best’.. so nice kan.. thanks mum. Being a mother is a process of learning.. i learn from mistake and doing my best in every task. I am one of those lucky mothers out there, where my husband help me doing the house chores and cooks at home. Thanks God for that.

Its funny to think that being a mother, you will be able to do what you think is impossible. While driving, one hand on the steering, my other hand can reach under the seat.. just to get a toy, and i can even draw whatever sean asks me.. Dont you think only plastic man can do that.. hehehe. We are staying in the 2nd floor apartment, there were times that i had to hold my son’s hand, carry my daughter and another 2 bags on my shoulder and another hand gripping a bag… with high heel.. To be truthful i ever fell down the stairs.. lucky my children were alright.

If you in the situation that you cannot think and dont know what to do, the best thing to do is PRAY . . believe me its help. Being a mother is so special and i think every women should experience it.. .. I LOVE BEING A MOTHER!

Chinese New Year Fever

Feb-14-2008 By shirley

Everybody is busy with Chinese New Year gathering on the Chinese New Year Eve. My boss kindly gave us opportunity to leave the office early than usual. After our job completed, we nicely packed our things and gone with the wind.. hehehe.

First day of Chinese New Year, my family visit my relatives in Kinarut, my children got ang pow from their young grand aunties and grand uncles..then we proceed to my brother’s open house. My brother married to a Sino-kadazan whom celebrates CNY every year.. thats the best thing about Sabahan… we celebrates all occasion.

Sean and Chrissa collected RM30 ang pow each, on the the first day of CNY…. money will go into their account for sure.

Second day of Chinese New Year.. at home, fasting. ..

On this month of Lent, we are encourage to fast, especially on friday but not only foods but also the things we does everyday. But i have my own intention, which is no nescafe. . i am so addicted to caffein.. trying my best.

Fever Attack

Feb-14-2008 By shirley

Sunday night, my girl Chrissa sleep uncomfortably, when i touch her head.. oh my.. my baby was having a fever and the temperature was high. I gave her fever medicine that night and damp towel on her head. I bring her to clinic on Monday morning but at night the fever still ‘on and of’. I took another leave on Tuesday so that i can take care of Chrissa, while his daddy go to work and brother go to school.

Tuesday night, Chrissa feeling a bit better.. .. time for me to rest.. 3.00am i awakened by Sean’s cries, he was shivering.. o dear.. my son having fever.. i woke up to give him fever medicine.  Im not having enough sleep…. i woke up, sit for awhile.. Sean asked me a question that i will never forget ‘mummy why you cry?’ 

Wednesday morning, we bring Sean to clinic.  So many things on my mind, my daughter, my son and my job in the office .. how can i juggle..  My husband volunteer to take care of Sean, he took one day leave for that purpose.  That night he still had his fever.. ‘how about tomorrow?’ Either me or my husband need to sacrifice for another leave.. One last option my guardian angel.. SMSs my mum if she free that Thursday.. Thanks God.. they replied my sms ‘ok bah kalo ko’.. o dear that word again.

Until now i am still feeling tired.. i want a rest!.. a good sleep..

My Future Daughter In-Law

Feb-4-2008 By shirley

I am smiling while typing this… anyway, i have asked the mother of this lovely girl permission to write this post.  She is my bestfriend’s daugher, her name is Amber Priyanka Narayanan.  Well since both of us, their mothers are friends, we made a joke about getting our children for ‘arrange marriage’ .

Dont you think they look great together.. Both of them mix of Indian and Kadazan, the girl’s daddy is originate from India.. related to Sha Rukh Khan… hehe just kidding or maybe dont know lah..

Well nowaday we dont believe in ‘arrange marriage’ .. Marriage should be based on true love..  No matter how it comes, maybe your ‘love at first sight’, ‘internet love’, first love’… it all ended up ‘down the isle with LOVE’.  

Anyway i will let my children decide who they want to be with.. its a long way to go..

God Saved Their Lives

Feb-1-2008 By shirley

Thank you God, you saved my family’s live. My dad was driving with my mum, sister and another cousin. There were on their way to St. Augustine, Kinarut on Sunday morning (27 Jan 08). According to my daddy, he was turning from a junction when he saw a car speeding .. he just heard my mummy shouting ‘kereta‘ then they heard loud sound. The speeding car hit the front car on the passenger side and straight hit the electric pole.

My dad and other family members were shocked, they can just watched the whole things happened in front of them. The car that hit them was in terrible condition, the front glass shattered into pieces and the passenger was bleeding on the face, probably because of the glass. I can imagine how my family feels that day, i ever experienced the same accident that almost cause death.

They settled everything with police help on the scene. But IF, the person did not speeding, he wouldnt hit the electric pole with hard impact, IF my dad did not stop, the car might hit the passenger side, where my mummy and sister are sitting, IF, IF, IF…

As usual, there are so many people at the scene… ‘dia laju oh”jalan dia mah”dia salah oh”.. these people only giving their own opinion.. but for me what important is God Saved Their Lives… Thank You God!
