• childless tonight.

    missing my little bundle of joy. my baby frolicking around my granduncle’s shop in jb   my baby is away in Malaysia for a family wedding for the weekend and won’t be back till tomorrow. we came back this afternoon for a friend’s wedding and baby stayed with my mum since there’ll be no one around when we go work tomorrow morning.   I thought we’ll enjoy the alone couple time much, but I find myself missing jerry a lot. it didn’t help where we had a 2.5yo sitting with us at the wedding tonight.   ah.. separation anxiety. I thought I was pretty cool with it, but looks like…

  • my agile baby.

    about a month ago, i blogged about my baby doing the doggy style.. a month later, he has since learnt to stand and walk with support.. and he’s tottering around the playpen, becoming quite a monkey that climbs around too! i took the following video with the remote as a bait. i made him ‘N G’ a few times but each time.. he just manages to grab the remote! Jerry’s quest for the remote. from Cherie Lim on Vimeo. a few days ago, i discovered that he can stand without support for a few seconds before falling down onto his butt into a sitting position and excitedly told my mum…

  • Quick update.

    I have been silent for almost 2 weeks now. It’s been madness here, juggling with a almost-deadly virus that rendered a whole household sick, a out of whack schedule for baby, a majorly sleep deprived mother with loads of stress at work with pressing deadlines (colleague was on 1.5 weeks leave and there were tons to be done) and many visits to the pediatrician on top of round-the-clock administration of medicine for jerry. I almost couldn’t hang in there. It’s slightly better now, but im still sick, and still superbly sleep deprived. What seemed to be a flu for jerry turns out to be a really nasty virus that warranted…

  • The past week..

    I think I am beginning to adore my son. For those of you who kept telling me things will get better and that I one day would find everything worthwhile, I think I am almost here. Thank you for all that encouragement then. I think I am beginning to feel like everything is worth it.. or maybe it is postpartum amnesia and I don’t quite recall how bad things used to be. Ahh.. Maybe this is part of god’s grand plans.. Postpartum memory loss is for women to cope better and forget all those frustrations, struggles, hardship so that they’ll go on and have more kids. I’m pretty sure it…

  • Happy 6 months!

    Today marks 6 months of journey from the day I had a baby plonked onto my tummy and a pair of eyes staring at me. There has been ups and downs, loads of depression, some excitement, loads of happiness and amusement and a whole lot of other emotions, I am rather glad that we have survived it this far and things are getting better by the day (hopefully I don’t jinx it by saying this). The past month has been rather interesting, with loads of milestones from the baby! It has also been a fantastic month because the husband helped out sooooooo much, I am very thankful and happy and…

  • my little doggy baby.

    i havent interacted with Jerry for the past week. By the time i get home the past nights (which has either been close to midnight or past midnight), he’s fast asleep and every morning, i pop out for work before he’s up. It’s quite depressing actually, feeling all that fatigue from work, and yet burdened with the guilt that i am not spending more time adequately with the baby. I will also be working on the weekends for the next few weeks and am kinda upset that more precious time is taken away from me… but guess it’s just life. i can’t choose to have everything my way, isn’t it?…

  • in the middle of the night.

    here i am, awake and for the last 30 mins, toggling between the idea of flopping into my bed or fulfill the duties of mother cow. trust me, the former seems so enticing but the tingling pain is a reminder of the agonizing consequence that i would have to suffer in the morning if i chose the latter. so in the mean time, i have taken to multi-task and make full use of my time. i am updating my iphone 3Gs to iOS5! have you done it yet? if you haven’t, and have heard that it would wipe out all your apps.. yes. it does, but only if you didn’t…

  • baby updates.

    i kinda neglected this little space of mine in terms of baby updates. in a flash, i have been back to work for a month already! the sleep deprivation ain’t that bad now though i feel very tired all the time and could easily drop off to dreamland any time. which is why this space of mine is near empty. because the heart wants to but the brain shuts down. tuesday. brought Jerry for his pneumococcus 2 jab and it was the worst jab thus far in terms of the tears he shed, but i couldn’t help think that he look really cute when he cries (i’m biased). i have…

  • about parenting.

    i wrote a long entry yesterday morning on my way to work, but when i tried to post it.. i kept getting this timed out error for the longest time and i gave up. when i returned to the app in the evening… I was appalled to find the entire entry GONE. not a single hint of it. am devastated because whatever little time i have left to churning out blog entries while juggling work, parenthood and all that household chores, the effort went down the drain. the thing about blogging is, you can never quite replicate the same entry after you wrote it. i don’t know about others (maybe…
