August 17th-23rd

Monday 17th - slept till almost 9+am.... lucky for me i got very understanding pils. dun remember what else i did that day! hate recalling nowadays! terrible memory!!! gingko nuts? think if that works i need couple of dozzzzzens bags of it! updated!!! suddenly remember what i wanted to record! i did my photo styling for the cupcakes i decorated on Sunday! let my little gal taste alittle of the fondant! No i didnt feed her!!! just touching her upper lips with the fondant a few times lightly and Rachel used her tongue and lick, making a "luc" sound and she did it so many times, it my mil smiling and amused... of cos i was asked not to give her anymore next time! next day little Rach repeated making loud "luc" sounds when she lick her upper lips!*
Tuesday 18th - baby rachel likes visitors. She understands when i tell her i have friends coming over. She actually waited and refuse to finish her milk and not take pacifier in the late afternoon. tot she was not feeling well but i realised that she is very sleepy but fighting to stay awake and she cried after awhile. so i tried feeding her the milk she only finished half... she finished it but refuse her pacifier that helps her to nap.... i asked if she was waiting for my friends to come... she looked at me with bright eyes. yes, i am not crazy... its a way i communicate with my baby, i try to read her body language and her responses!

so i let her play with her favourite pooh bear mobile and then i went ahead to quickly set up the simple teatime. i saved 3 cupcakes for the ladies. the ladies loved the pretty cupcakes and i was happy when joyce wanted to take pics of it! they didnt find the fondant crazily sweet and it was still acceptable but they emphasis that must take with tea and its tea w/o milk! we did catch up and the best thing that happened that day was that when the ladies say hi to my little darling, you won't believe what my little gal said! She said "HI!" yes, she said hi to the ladies and she got use 3 frozen with shock! i asked them if what i heard was HI! all of us were amazed but i told the ladies they were lucky cos i think its by chance. but i was happy!

Wednesday 19th - its my paternal grandma's death anniversary. Dad came by in a cab to get Rach and me. Went home and after praying, dad played with her grandaughter while i have lunch. looking at the 2 of them, its was a very warmth feeling looking at them playing and giggling. but both got "scolded" by me for not napping. when dad snored, the little one actually fell asleep right away and dad took a super short nap next to her before leaving for work.

Thursday 20th -baby Rach cried for no reason after nite wash up. i had to ask her to stay calm and cuddle her tight. she was still sobbing. we decided to let her sleep with us. she slept well next to daddy and they looked so alike! she slept thru the nite while i kept waking up to check on both daddy and baby! worried that daddy turn and squesh her and wonder when baby needs to be fed. but our little gal didnt get up till 6am+!

Friday 21st - she was in a cuddling mood again and she refuse to sleep as she knows Yiyi is coming to bring us to mums. dressed her up with a new orange layered top aunt a bot. this is my favourite. so glad it came in cream and orange! a daring match...orange top with slightly-oversized purple pants.

can't help it but lie next to her after i dressed her and snapped away!

My daughter and Me

gx is still on course... why is the class on friday!!! he finished almost 10+pm then still gota fetch my pils and by the time he gets home and is ready to come over to mums it would have been mn! so i told him to stay at home to rest. i looked after gal myself and thru the nite i woke up twice to feed her and she was a good gal, slept once feeding was done.

Saturday 22nd - my little gal loves the cream Penny passed to us. Forgot to take a pic but will update maybe in a post about the baby products my gal and i loved. thats if i got time!!! but would love to do the post. she loved the Nipple Nurture butter cream! She loves it becos it of Shea & Mango Butter! think she loves MANGO alot cos when she was still in my tummy, whenever i have mango, she kicks up a storm! as we are running low with it, i proposed we go paragon to get a new tube before heading for our class gathering.


Sis wanted to come along to paragon and we dragged mum out. sis treat us to sushi tei and its my first sashimi in months!!! wooo and the soft-shell crab handroll! its was heaven! all of us try something new all thanks to mum! she chose black cavair sushi. it was all over, filling every inch in my mouth! still prefer the red ones!
after the meal, mum and sis went shopping while we drove to merchant court for our class gathering at the market place cafe. met tj's family at the carpark. we were all pushing prams, baby bags on shoulder and carrying babies! too bad our form teacher was sick... sad to say i was with baby most of the time and sweet dear let me enjoy my food. he said since i dun have many chances to go out now since baby is born, he let me have sometime to enjoy since he entertain clients, he still get to have good food. but too bad, i find the food pretty normal. it was good to catch up with the other 3 mums too.

Sunday 23rd - woke up late as we had a terrible nite! gx got so mad with our dog barking non-stop in the wee hours! so we missed our morning walk. so we had a quiet morning waiting for my mum and sis to be back from tpy market with breakfast. envy my dear... always have perfect pic with baby! i left quietly for class as little Rach gets pretty upset when she knows i am not around. sis brought her away when i head out of the gate!

attended my 3rd lesson with Sugars Inc. Different chef. Hope she didnt find me pesky cos i ask alot of questions in class! my learning skills is becoming so american style. i always want to know why certain flour is chosen. if ingredients can be replace? had alot of fun decorating the cookies! didnt get to use my own moulds as they were too big compared to the ones we were baking. We had i think 5 types of cookies. Vanilla, choc, coffee, orange and spice.

had very good dinner at mums! mum made otak and i love the version my mum made cos its got loads of lime leaves! yums and mum cooked salted egg prawns on Sunday before i go home... makes me look forward to every weekend at mums!


i am so lucky and i had a very good week!
