No longer - Just the Beginning

Aren't you glad that you're not reading the same post again?

I've decided to post after the loooooooooong hiatus cos today isn't a really good day for me.
I think I've been too busy to stop and think about what I've been busy with for the past few months.
Yes, I hate being back at work now! Haha!
Sometimes, I just wish I can laze at home ,just like before ,reading my magazines on the bed while cuddling Raine to sleep.

I've been wanting to post for a long time but my will is just not strong enough for me to actually login and start posting.
So one night, as I was lying in bed tossing and turning, half asleep, I conceived the beginning of this blog entry.
I told myself that I'll explain why I've been missing in action for so long.
So you see, Eureka may be a genius to discover something while taking a bath, I think I'm equally a genius too, I can compose a blog entry half asleep. :p

So what have I really been busy with?

The obvious will be work. After going back to work, everyday is just like a mad rush.
I wake up, rush to get ready for work and then slog my life out for 12 hours and then rush home.
Take my shower, have my dinner, spend time with Raine and then finally pat Raine to sleep.
By the time I actually have some time for myself, it's bedtime.

Weekdays pass by really fast and weekends, even faster.
On weekends, I spend both my days with Raine. Doing what other Mothers do.
Feed her, play with her, pat her to sleep, etc etc.
I feel guilty at times for not spending enough time with her and so I try not to do any work over the weekend.
But it's really difficult.
Hard as I try to finish up my work in school, time is never on my side and I can never seem to finish the ever piling up stack of work.

Sometimes, I find that I can't breathe.

So much have happened and after so long, it became sweet memories.
Raine had her first Chinese New Year and we really dressed her up for the festive season.
Luckily she was quite cooperative most of the time and didn't give us much trouble as we go round visiting.
Except for the two times when she decided to poop at my relative's place and soil her clothes.

This is her in one of her Chinese New Year outfit.

As usual, we tried really hard to 'girlify' her. Hee!
But once in a while, we still have people asking us, 'Boy or girl?'
Seriously, after a while, we give up.
We just answer them nonchantly, 'girl' and thinking to ourselves, 'why would we want to dress a boy up in pink, Dumbo!'

We're bringing her out more often nowadays and one of the popular venue is to actually bring her to the Botanic Gardens.
My initial idea of Botanic Gardens is a boring garden with trees, trees and more trees.
But now, I'm pleasantly surprised that there're more to trees in Botanic Gardens.
There's even a children's playground there and once Raine is big enough to enjoy the playground, I'll definitely bring her there.

Raine gotta wear a cap cos we shaved her head.
We need to do something to make her hair grow!

Blogging about Raine definitely brightens up my day.
I'm just having so much fun spending time with her.
And she's my consolation whenever something bad happens at work.

Nowadays, Raine is learning how to turn over.
Many babies her age is already turning and yet, she's still struggling to turn.
She'll know how to flip her butt over and yet her head will still remain in the same position.
So after a while, she'll get tired and her butt will just flop back.
It's quite cute to see her that way actually. Haha!



I've planned to blog so much initially.
But now, I just can't seem to remember what else I wanted to blog about.
Sometimes, I think I'm falling into depression cos I can't seem to remember a lot of things lately.

Am I normal?
Or is it a sign of old age?

Maybe it's just that I'm having a bad day.

I don't want to blog anymore. The End.

Haha! Abrupt I know. But this is my blog! Sue Me! :p
