Have not been updating...

Shall make it a point to do so when holiday REALLY come...which will be 2 Dec to be exact...

Anyway, mood spoiled early in the morning because of some incident in Hubby's house.

Not going to further elaborate, just that now i know who love me most in the world.. MY parents! And that many people is not practicing what they preach and yet still claims that they are kind people while they don;t even pity a woman who is injuried.

Lesson learnt: (1) Never trust "sweet talks", not only those from men but also women
(2) Never expect MIL to treat you like HER family members
(3) MUST teacher Giselle to be TRULY kind with a heart of compassion!
VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

I cried...

Not because of Gislle, not because of anything... just BEYOND!

I know it's kinda silly but i just cannot help it. I could not go back to join the exhibition for Kar Kui's 15th anniversary. But yet, today, by chance, i got hold of a copy of his 15th anniversary CD...the only one in the shop.

Inside were some demo that were never released and now his brother Steve has rearrange the songs and put both the version together. There is also a DVD.

I just cannot help but start crying when i heard the first note that KAi Kui sang...

It is something, some memories, some heartaches... that will never go away...


FOrgive me if this is not related to Giselle at all...

Well, 2008 is here, just wanna wish all my readers(visible and "invisible") a very wonderful year ahead, with good health and happiness always!^_^

The last few weeks of 2007 is just as chaotic as the whole 2007. Just some update, went back to "where i dun belong" with Giselle and it was obvious that Giselle dun like it at all. She cried for the first 2 days then i guess she just give up and became very quiet afterwards. SHe was grumpy and lost some weight. After discussing with hubby, he also agreed that my MIL cannot take good care of Giselle. So we talked to my mum a few days back, she hesitated but finally agreed to take care of giselle after she is back from holiday mid of Jan, after seeing how Giselle has changed from a always-happy baby to a sad and quiet baby. But one thing is that my parents are getting old and health is not as good as before, so we will have to hire a maid to help out. So anyone got good recommmendation?

Btw, Giselle can now pronounce "PoPo"(grandma in cantonese) very clearly and loudly, so mum owes all of us a treat!^_^ Coz this is the first word/name Giselle learn to call

Will start working in my new organisation officially tomorrow.

Every year, ppl start coming out with resolution that i think most of them would have forget mid of the year. So this year...

For 2008, i only wish that
(1) Giselle is happy and healthy
(2) The Mak's family is happy and healthy
(3) Hubby and I do well in our job
(4) Have a house of my own
(5) Say goodbye to my MIL and FIL asap( as in move out)

Too busy to blog.. well i think u guys also quite used to it already..haha

Hmm...as some of you might know, i have resigned from my current employer and will be working in a "private" one that is of the same nature. No sure if i have done the right thing... the distance is far from my home, it' more stressful... but i guess a change of environment is good for me. Just hoping for the best!

Am going back to "Where i dun belong" with Giselle this Saturday. I still have no idea how life will be to Giselle as definitely she will no longer be the "Princess" that she did at my place. I already tried very hard to psyco myself not to care about how "the other person aka my MIL" take care of Giselle as long as Giselle is healthy and safe. But judging from the situation my MIL is in now, i doubt she can do a good job. I did try to compromise, i even offer to pay her the amount that she is receiving by taking care of the other baby so that she can concentrate more on taking care of Giselle and give up the other day. She has nothing to lose and in fact it will mean less workload for her as she will have to take care of 3 babies then. But with no apparaent reason, she refused and insisted she has no problem handling. So i can only ask hubby to continue to persude her. It is partly for Giselle and partly for her own good. So if anything happen, dun even blame it on me again, i already give in!!

Taking abt blaming, i was soooo angry the other day i almost wanna carry a knief and charge to my MIL place. She is definitely pinpointing me. Fro example, she said it is my breastmilk that caused Giselle to cough while it is clear that it is hubby who fell sick that pass her the virus. Then now she blame me on Giselle's birthmark on the hand, saying that i must have done something during my pregnancy that caused Giselle to have birthmark there. I was like "WTF!!"
My parents ask me to forget about it as no point arguing with a person who is insane or ignorance, but i just cannot help it. If it is my fault, i will admit! The 2 things that i hate most is liars and being falsely accused! ARGGGHHHH!!!

ANyway, on a happier note, Giselle has been on semi solid fgood for 2 wks plus. She just have her 6th month 6in1 vaccination on 4thDec. Dad gave her Gripe water that morning before the injection and surprising Giselle did not have fever after that!! Maybe it's the gripe water, maybe it's her body getting stronger..i dunno... i just know "a stupid ignorant woman who like to pinpoint ppl" instructed me to give Giselle Ginseng water before her jab last time, saying that Giselle sure will not have fever afterwards, her method FAIL!!! Act Pro!

Ok back to Giselle's diet..she has tried carrot, green peas, potato and apple juice so far. She also tried Heinz Organic Golden Veggie Mash the other day but it seems that she is allergy to it. Doc asked me to try again to confirm a few wks later. Will be trying Brown Rice Cerral on her tomorrow. And she seems to dislike my breastmilk now, perhaps it's not as tasty as the other new food. Anyway, i am already starting to stop expressing. Should be stop totally within this 1-2 weeks. Breastfeeding is a memorable journey with joy and sadness, with laughter and tears, but i think i have no regret of taking all the trouble to give my Giselle the best that i could. Seeing her healthy and happy makes everything worthwhile.

Giselle can now sit on her own and she keep talking non stop. She even know how to express "I dun wat" by saying "Ah Bu Ah Bu" (sounds like "WO Bu Yao " in mandarin) ^_^

I am really worried that Giselle will become "stupid" after moving back to "Where i dun belong". The environment do have great impact on a child's intelligence development...Sigh....

Giselle just has her first taste of semi-solid food yesterday. I let her tried Heinz Baby's First Rice Cereal. Will be switching to Brown Rice but ppl said 1st time better start with white rice so...

Her reaction is cute.. i think she quite like it. Though she didnt increase her milk intake(shich they said its' one of the sign that shows she is ready for semi solid food) she did show much interest to our food during meal time. She kept staring at us and watched us eating. So now that she tried the rice cereal, first she think awhile, then she smiles. HAhah...shall upload the video clip next time..

TOday it's the 2nd day, she is quite ok with it, but still have not really master the skills of taking the cereal from the spoon. Learning learning...

And i must admit baby do understand wat we are saying.. coz really tested over and over again, Giselle will frown or being very down whenever we mention the place or the person she doesn;t like. My poor dear. One second she is laughing like crazy, then she just turn silent and sad on the moment she hear THAT word...How i wish i could save her from that...

Will be facing great changes in life... hopefully will turn out fine... just hope no more politics and i can have time for my little princess, that's all i am asking for...

Well, as you all might already know.. Giselle,now bienf 4 mths plus,already know how to shake hand, play peek-a-boo, hold milk bottles,flip over....

2 weeks ago, she learned how to kick open the door...
Today, after seeing my mum turning the knob to open the door, she decided to be an "adult"....SHE USE HER HAND TO OPNE THE DOOR instead of kicking!!!!

It works everytime we ask her to open the door!!

I was like.... "my gosh...wat will she learn to do next?!"

By the way, she said "Po" very softly when she see the pic that she took with my mum shown on the PC screen(she calls my mum "Po po" in cantonese, meaning grandma)

And i also dunno why, i keep humming "ma ma ma ma ma ma" to the tune of Happy Tree Friends! I must be too stress up with work!

Here is the analysis:
The Mass Communicator

You would make an ideal news announcer, flight attendant or model - any position that would give you an opportunity to deal with plenty of people.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I just have to pen it down.

Giselle is on medication due to her fever after taking the jab yesterday. She just doesn;t like the taste of it and she keep spiltting it out. In fact, even the nurse at the hospital said she is very smart as she know how to hold the medicine in her mouth first, then wait till you thought she has already swallowed the medicine, she will suddenly push everything out again.

So just now i have to struggle hard and force the medicine into her mouth. She screamed and yelled. Then afterwards, my dad came out of his room and try to talk/comfort to her.

My dad: "The medicine is not that bad right?"
Giselle:" Wawawawaw...$%$#@%$^%#$%"

No kidding! She talked back to my dad in a tone that sounds like blaming him for his
"stupid" questions and scold him like hell..


My mum and I just cannot stop laughing...

Giselle just had her 4th month 5in1 vaccination plus Rotavirus yesterday @RH.

She was very brave.... or should i say she was just too concentrating on the toys..^_^

She is now 64cn long , 6.8kg. Doc said she is growing fine though her milk intake tends to be on the low side...only 4 feeds of 140ml per day...but she just refuse to take more..what to do...

She started to have slight fever last night and now on medication...

The moody look of her make me sad...

Hmm... everyone must treat your mum nice ya.....^_^
