Happy Birthday, Baby!

this is a post-dated post, as I was simply so overwhelmed for the past few days.

Baby Justin turned 1 year old last sat!

How time flies..... one year ago, he was still in my stomach and we can still recall so vividly every single detail, from the time my water bag broked at 4am and the entire process that lasted for a total of 18hrs altogether before he decided to come into this world.

And for the past 12 months, this little one has brought us much joy... something that i feel is totally worth exchanging for all for the sleepless nights....

Every milestone that Baby Justin makes, I can say, I am so proud and happy!!

Baby,

Mummy and Daddy love u so much!! U are the Precious of our lives.

We pray that you will indeed grow up to be a fine young man. Most importantly, like your name, you will be just and righteous, love and fear God, love your parents and family. :-)

P.S. Special thanks to Enrique, who willingly sacrificed his time to help us take lots of photos that day, to capture all the lovely memories that took place during the 4 hours of party, at no fee. All the photos are so good that I am still trying to sieve out what to post on fb.

Really appreciate your works and your love, my friend. :-)

First Business trip after i give birth

This is the second time that I am on official business trip.

And the first time that I am going away from my baby after he is born.

Not an easy decision to decide to go. But thankfully, I am blessed, to have a super encouraging husband, fully supportive mother and mother in law, who are taking shifts to look after baby justin.

Thank God the trip is after his birthday celebration last friday, which will be a separate post altogether.

Feel very fortunate to be able to attend this pricing forum training.

Firstly, lots of people are telling me that its amazing that my bosses actually send me overseas for training, when I am just slightly over 1 month old in this company. Not many people will get this opportunity. Ya... so God is good. :-)

Secondly, on this trip, the rest of the people are actually very experienced people in TI, many of whom have worked for years. In these 4 days, I believe that I am going to learn a lot from them, both from the trainer who has 20 years of experience in TI, and also the rest of the team members as they share their knowledge and questions. Even though most of the time, I felt SUPER lost in the midst of all the acronymns used, but I still thank God for putting me through this training, so that I know what are the areas that i lack knowledge in and where can i get the best help.

Thirdly, i believe that this trip will enable me to get to know more people from the region who are performing the same function as me. Its always good to know more people, cos it just makes work more fun and easier.

Its a fully packed 4 days of training and activities.... doubt i will have much or even any self-activity time. But its still a very fruitful trip.

Looking forward to Friday.. to come back sg, to my precious baby!! :D

happy birthday to me!

The thing about love

The thing about loving someone, means to give them a surprise when they least expect it.

And i have a few lovely surprises from my love ones over the weekend.

Surprise # 1: Although my dear hubby has been complaining about my iphone and kept bugging me to change my phone, i told him i will wait till my contract with Singtel is up and ready to recontract, which is at Dec 2011. So last friday night, after i have put baby justin to bed after a long day, i was presented with a huge surprise, which i nearly died.

So duber happy!! And my 老公 actually signed a new line just to get this phone for me. :-)

Surprise (2): The 刚 celebrated my bday on sat, started with a pedi session followed by a sumptious dinner @ egg3 cafe. Photos to follow later. But what surprised me most was the personalised gifts from them, on top of the group gift. They each personalised a gift of 30 lines.

是美的咯！

超感动！

Surprise #3: The cg celebrated my birthday last friday and I was very touched by their individual birthday speeches. These are the sheeps that God has placed in my hands and I always feel that I have a personal responsibility to each and every single one of them. And I am once again, amazed by their generosity once again, when i opened up the gift and saw the amount of the vouchers that they bought for me. Thanks my dears, every single one of you who contributed to my gift. =))

So now, together with the gang's gift, i have enough to buy a pair of jeans and a nice tee! :D

Thank you all for your love!! :D :D:D :D

Baby turning one soon

in less than a month's time, my baby is turning one year old! Time really flies and it just seems like yesterday that he came into this world. There are times that i really would wish that he still was a small little baby, so that it is so much easier to take care of him. Now, he is crawling all over the place and touches every single thing. And plus the fact that at this stage, they don't take any words with these prefixes: 'no", "wait" or "don't" in mind at all. In fact, the more we parents say cannot, the more and faster he go and do it. Sigh.

But don't get me wrong. Not complaining about this small one at all. The naughty times probably account for like 30% of the time, and the remaining 70%, he always do funny actions that make me laugh and kinda destress me from a long day at work. So there are also times where i wish, i can be a SAHM, so that i can be with him to witness all his little milestones.

Anyway, in another 3 weeks' time, the little one is going to turn one. i always wanted to start planning for his bday bash, but august and sept were 2 super busy months, cos new job, new house, etc etc... and before i realise it, its already Oct!! OMG! Better start soon!

The thing is, my son does not have one special cartoon character that he likes, so a bit hard to plan for a theme party for him also. Guess it will be a mummy's picked theme for this year. Maybe by his second birthday, he will even want to pick his own theme.

Plan out the timeline and been surfing for ideas. Targetting to send out the invites by end of next week. Must try to get things done by this week liaoz... Hope gt time , cos dad is hospitalised this week due to a minor heart attack, which caught all of us off guard. Well, long story and thats going to b a separate entry altogether. So God, give me lots of strength this week, to sustain the long week ahead.

Justin's latest stunt.... proudly taught by Daddy Gerald and see how fast he learns it.

And i must say, he only learn it like less than 10 times and he is doing it as though he been doing it for months! =p

My clever boy. *beams*

Curious Justin

Justin is at the stage where he is ever curious about every thing and anything. Any slightest sound or movement, he turns his head immediately. So nothing runs from his eyes. Haha.

Now that we have moved into our new place @ strathmore, he got much more space and room to crawl around. So these days, the moment we placed him on the floor, he will be all over the place, crawling and holding on to any furniture that he can lay his hands on, learning to crusie around.

And because of that, he also have numerous falls.

The most severe one was yesterday while daddy and mummy was out for dinner.

He fell backwards and had a big ba-lu-ku that swell up almost immediately. Grandma and grandpa got so worried and almost sent him to A&E. Thank God the swell went down after putting the ice-pack on his back-head for about 20 mins plus some rubbing.

Last night we found that the back of the head seem to have an unusual swell. Going to bring him back to the PD tonight. Pray that its no big issue and no complications. If you could, please say a little prayer for him yah?
