Miraculous Morning

Something miraculous happened this early morning. Just barely an hour ago, as mama has gone out of the room to prepare for my mid sleep milk, I almost fell off from the bed. Papa said, there was a sudden force that pulled him by the collar, waking him up from his sleep, and in the nick of time just managed to grab me from my fall, ala Superman. (he was sleeping on the floor just beside the bed and was tired after browsing the net for mama next bike, the Specialized Ruby Pro and after posting a comment on aunty Wendy’s blog at +0100 hour). Really. My fall would have been 2 feet and would have given me some bumps and lumps and likely some fractures too.
Papa was thankful, and he felt the urge to blog this up immediately, for other parents to read and learn.
Papa also believes much in the ‘transcendental’. For there are guardian angels. For this is the first day of the leap Chinese 7th Month. For there is Universal Intelligence.
Papa is further convinced now that breast milk is the best, never and no need to leave your baby alone. Haha, but this baby is 7 months old and 8 kg now, so the bottles seem the logical and practical way.
Lucky. Lucky for me. Lucky for pama because grandma popo does not read much English otherwise pama will be skinned.
Papa is not sleeping much tonight and he will be leaving for Hadyai in a few hours time to ‘earn some money’.
At least I know, my pama have been painstakingly bringing me up during my tender days.
At least I know, everything happens for a reason.

Muack pama!

Busy Bees

Phew, for the past month, lives (of loving people around me) have been busy.
First there was this AhGu’s Convo (which I promised will write it up soon). Then, papa’s company got some structural changes and mama has started working full time, so both were humming and huffing with meeting, training and adapting to the new work environment, which means grandma popo and grandpa kongkong need to spend more time minding (and wrestling with) me. Next, AhYi will begin writing her thesis soon. Meanwhile, aunty kuma Ming is occupied with IT upgrade, working late and on weekends, while uncle kucheong Lester is occupied with new workshop setup. Even cousins Wendy and William are busy with the one week school holidays now! Last week, AhGu had a complicated sub-acute appendicitis needing prolonged medical treatment (maybe he got a line in his blog, check my link).

Me? I am learning to sit (maybe to crawl soon!). Well, to keep everyone in touch during these hectic hours, I will just post some marvellous pics.



THE LADY IN RED! Chairman Mao look-alike?! Some call me Chairwoman san mao ( 三毛 ) because I got little hair.











Sequence shots of me trying to sit-crawl.
