Updating in progress

Hey my lovelies!

It's been way toooo long. How time flies when you're having fun!
The holiday is over and let me see.....my last post, I was still marking exam papers.
I reckon most of my loyal fans would have already forgotten their terrible results?!
Haha! Just kidding. I sincerely hope you guys learnt something from your results.

Lesson learnt: Study for exams.

Simple but difficult to follow I guess.

Right, so this thought 'I should update my blog' runs through my mind many many times from then till now.
But it seems like procastination got the better of me.
Tomorrow just never seemed to happen.
Until yesterday.
Told myself I've to blog tomorrow.
And today I'm doing it!

*Three cheers and three cheers and three cheers for Queenie!!!*


To be honest, I really wanted to blog about many things.
I wanted to blog about all the examination results, my friends, my holidays, my thoughts, my family and many others.
But somehow, sitting in front of the computer just makes me forget it all.
Maybe it's the radiation.

But I think the real reason is just that I'm way too lazy to switch on the computer to blog about all my thoughts.
So day after day, I keep it inside me and then forget about it.
If it's happy thoughts, I'll think about it, keep it with me and smile to myself when I think back about it.
If it's sad thoughts, I'll think about it and try to forget it.
Generally I try not to think too much about it and believe that things will somehow work out by itself.

So this holiday wasn't much of a holiday.
First 2 weeks were spent in school having lessons still.
It's just so unfair that the press writes bout how pupils don't get to enjoy their holidays and have to go back to school for lessons.
On the other hand, what about teachers?
We go back to teach them as well.
Shouldn't we get some appreciation?
Anyway, that's another story.

Managed to bring Raine to Sentosa for a short getaway.
Wasn't very exciting as we couldn't really bring her to many of the places as it was too warm and sunny out there.
So most of the time was spent in the mall and we did get to bring her swimming though.
This is the first time we brought her swimming and didn't really know how she'll take to it.
We made sure that we had all her gear ready.
Bought along her swimming float, swimming costume, swim diapers, bath robe and towel.
Initially when we put her down into the water, she was a bit apprehensive and I guess the water was a little cold.
But after a while, she seemed to enjoy herself and started splashing and kicking away.
It was real blissful to see her enjoy herself.
But of course, tiny little she didn't play too long in the water as her face turned blue when the wind started to blow.
Whipped her out of the water and rushed straight to the hotel room.
Showered her, dried her and boy was she tired!
That night she slept really well and I think she's really bushed after the swim.

So that was her first swimming experience.



She didn't look too pleased being photographed in her swimming costume.



Seeing my little baby grow is one of the happiest thing that can ever happen to me.
Going through her many firsts with her.

Now she's able to do baby talk and crawl.

Just a week back or so, she attempted to walk without support.

I'm glad that I was there to see her through the different milestones.

Her hair is growing but unfortunately, they're growing upwards.
She looks kinda weird with all her hair standing up.
Think she's cut out for one hair product commercial which goes 'If you're happy and you know it clap your hair'.




Look at her hair. She loves her biscuit.


Was blogging halfway when Raine started crying.
So I've decided to stop and continue another day.

Haha! So that's the life of a mother.
Your time is really being manipulated by this little person whom you call your child.
I do miss those times when my time was just mine.
I miss late night outs.
I miss crazy times spent with my family.
I miss meeting up with my friends.
I miss so many many things among others.
But I feel that those are things that can always be made up.
Seeing your child grow is something that can never be replayed.

Do I still miss those times?
Honestly, I do.
But I think I'll be less selfish and share my time with my baby instead.


Okie Dokie, till the next 'tomorrow'.
Enjoy term 3.

Ok, I was just trying to console myself.
I'll enjoy term 3.
Haha!
