What I think about breast now…

15 Jun 2005 by

After reading the blog from Mycuppa, and Sarong Party Girl, and of coz 5xmom’s question about what breastfeeding mums think about our breasts, these are my thoughts:

Before becoming a mum:

1. Breasts are part of my body that makes me feel like a women. Of coz, if you have the perfect size and shape, you may attract the attention from both genders. (Ladies, admit it, we watch somebody’s body too if she looks good).

2. Have to buy and wear appropriate bras to make me feel and look good.

3. If possible, my breast can withstand and fight the effect of gravity, aging, and thus will remain the same without being slagging or out of shape.

4. If I’m exercising, I don’t wish my breast to be swinging around, especially during running! Too bad my cup size is not that big!

5. Never, never, and never flash my breasts around in public!

 

After becoming a mum:

1. My baby Justin’s main food source, and he takes milk only from me.

2. I’ll be more than glad if they don’t get engorged or having block ducts at the wrong time, ex: in the middle of the night so I don’t have to get up and pump.

3. I’ll nurse and pump everywhere in my house, and in front of everyone except BILs.

4. Only wear comfortable nursing bras that’re easy for nursing.

5. Breastfeeding at public is every woman’s right to be a mother, so that’s nothing wrong with it. May all those “chi cho pak” stop looking and mind your own business.

6. Justin, please don’t bite or pull mummy’s nipples coz that hurts!

To Papa, FIL and Hubby

13 Jun 2005 by

It’s going to be Father’s Day this Sunday, and I’ll be in KL by then and don’t have access to PC. So, I think I’ll blog this now.

To Papa:
Thanks for being there for me all these years. I know we’re really shy to express our feelings and thoughts in the westerner ways, but I really love and respect you, Pa. You’re the one who has been supporting me silently physically, mentally and of coz financially until I’m capable of taking care of myself. With Justin’s arrival, thanks for being a great grandpa to him and spend as much time with him as possible when we’re back in Penang. I know I haven’t been back home as much as I promised, but I’ll try my best to spend more time with you, Pa. And of coz, please take good care of yourself and drink less coffee!

To Father-in-law:
Papa, all these years you’re always flying around and staying in different countries managing your business. I once thought that if hubby’s going to take after your business, my life will end up like MIL, handling children and household all by herself for almost 40 years. I really hate the idea that time. But now, I understand that you’re trying your best to build your business “empire” for the sack of your children and grandchildren, so all of us have a solid future when you finally decided to retire. But could you please slow down a bit now? I mean you should start taking good care of yourself and spend more time with MIL. Let your sons do all the hard work now, ok? You just relax! But please don’t send my hubby to oversea, send other sons!

To Hubby:
Oh dear, you can’t relax yet because I’ve just told FIL to slow down! And I know you have no intention to slow down either. However, try to drink and smoke less when you’re out socializing. You can play golf but don’t go overboard. It’s hard to be second Tiger Woods at your age! ;p But can sure try to be senior-pro-golfer! (Hubby will sure kill me!) Anyway, I’m glad to be married to you…

Happy Father’s Day!!!!

Beautiful Sunday vs Bad Sunday

12 Jun 2005 by
Today is a beautiful Sunday because:
1. Justin woke up at almost 7am so mummy can get more sleep (normally he wakes up before 6am).
2. Hubby is not going for golf!! And it’s not raining outside!
3. I have time to prepare Justin lunch: Fish & spinach porridge (normally I don’t cook).
4. Both hubby and I have time to do reading with Justin in the afternoon. It’s quality-family time.

Then, things become bad when:
1. We decided to join Justin’s cousins who’re shopping in Jusco, and by the time we got there, it’s really packed at the car park.
2. Hubby was wandering for more than 15 minutes at the roof-top parking lot but still can’t find any space; Justin became restless.
3. Got to outdoor parking lot and waited for a lady to unpack her goods from trolley to her car for 30 minutes!
4. Finally, the car reversed and hubby’s getting ready to drive in, but a stupid car jump-queue and parked right in!
5. Hubby lost his temper and started “gam gam cham cham” and left Jusco

But hubby’s feeling better later because:
1. We had junk food and pizzas at home as lunch & tea.
2. He’s at golf range now!

I’m Scared, Mommy

12 Jun 2005 by
Wonder why Justin’s crying with fear?

He’s afraid of balloons!

He has never played with balloons before, and he’s afraid of them. See how many balloons we have today?

They’re given by our neighbours, probably after some wedding banquet or party. Too bad Justin doesn’t know the fun of playing with balloons yet. I don’t think he’s experienced balloons bursting before him, but he’s very afraid of them. Mmmm, I wonder why.

Let’s Get Wet!

07 Jun 2005 by
Instead of being packed like sardines at shopping malls on Agong’s Birthday, we decided to get some water fun at home. So we filled the baby pool with water, add some toys inside, and voila, it’s getting wet time!

Justin’s cousins were so happy splashing around. See, Wei Wei (boy) was too busy to turn and catch the photo.

I undressed Justin and carefully placed him in the pool. He resisted and started complaining, but I reassured him that’s it’s fine and mummy’s around. But all of the sudden, Wei Wei poured a pail of water over Justin’s head and he’s very scared. So, he started crying out loud and I had to moved him out of the water and “pujuk-pujuk” him. He refused to get in again, and we had no choice but to dress him up. We didn’t even have time to catch his first “encounter” in baby pool, everything happenned too fast.

Then, my hubby suggested that we tried again, but this time Justin was carried by my sister-in-law. But he cried out loud whenever he’s getting nearer to the pool, and my heart broke listening to him screaming. Poor baby…

Ok, have to stop introducing water pool to Justin for the time being. We thought that since he’s having so much fun bathing in his tub daily, he’s really for baby pool, but we’re wrong. Have to wait until he’s ready again.

Justin’s New Hobby

07 Jun 2005 by
I have 2 tortoises which I keep as pet for more than 3 years already. I felt really bad as I didn’t take a good care of them since I was pregnant. I felt lazy to change their water and also didn’t feed them daily. I can’t even remember the last time I scrub their shells. I’m a lousy pet owner now….
But I’ll train my son Justin to love them! I’m not being irresponsible, but I notice that Justin loves watching them. So I assume that he loves the tortoises, and that means I can “train” him to do the cleaning when he grows up! Gee, I’m really lazy and irresponsible lah!
See how concentrate he is watching the two little creatures munching their vege?

Old Dating Days

02 Jun 2005 by
When I was having dinner with my friends the other night, one of the ladies were complaining about her feeling like a single parent. She’s married with 2 young children, and her well-do husband always work, work and work. She complained that the only time she has with him is having breakfast, then he quickly “chao” to work, and only comes back after midnight. Sometimes also didn’t come back to sleep.

First question I asked her, is he having another woman? She said no, so I said if you want to have cash to spend, then you should feel grateful for your hardworking husband!
Then I began to think about my life with my hubby now. He’s working outstation for a few days in a week, and even when he comes back, he’ll spend time golfing. He says he has to do exercise and keep fit. Why golf? He’s too old to jog liao…;p. If not golfing, he’ll go and socialise with clients, and comes back half drunk at night. No need to say, he’s more interested in his pillow than talking / pat toh with me.

Si liao, only married for more than one year already “lao fu lao qi”, no more spark in relationship. Even if we go out also will drag along our in-laws, no more couple time. But I don’t mind bringing Justin along so that we can spend some family time.

Don’t know how to pat toh already…. Maybe most parents are like me too, no pat toh but still feel happy with each other. Miss my dating days!

Justin’s Manja Cry

01 Jun 2005 by
Justin knows how to fake a cry these days. He will normally do that when he wants me to carry him, or seeing me after I come back from work. It looks cute to me, and I’m glad that he knows how to attract my attention now.

Before I become a mum, I used to hate babies who fake their cries. To me, they’re irritating and I hope they only cry when necessary. I still remember one of my cousins who was extremely manja (spoilt?) when he’s a baby and older. He always cried without tears when he wanted something, and he irritated the rest of us (I mean my other cousins). So, we always bullied him by not letting him be in our “gang” when we played. Sounds bad huh? That poor boy had to play by himself or complaint to the adults and we’d get scolded for “excluding” him. That made us even more angry with him. But we stopped doing that when we’re older and less childish.

So I hope Justin’s manja cry will not irritate anyone. Maybe I should record his manja cry down with viewcam. Mmmm…
