Did I mention

he has now TWO pearly whites instead of just one? *gRin*

My darling aunties minus Joy

I have forgotten how long it has been since I last saw Faith. Its eons ago, probably 7 or 6 years ago before my Faith migrated over to join the NZealanders.

Our original group dis-auntied since. Sonia went off to join AMB while Joy and I stayed on in MCM. Thus, gone the assignment groupie that moves like a pack of wolves, that laughed till they drop in lrts, nights getting wasted in Bangsar (clubs were so off limit then since we were all underage and mostly me being the wasted one), the pack that cornered up pussy boys and wanting to give a piece of our mind at rude salesmen. These girls were the ones that companied me to the KJ post office by feeder bus and walked all the way back to college, getting unwanted wolf whistles by lorries passing by. (ok, not all the way back coz we took a cab later on).

I missed our little group so much! We had always said that if we were to write a book about our life stories spent together, it will never end. There will always be elements of dramas in it.

Today, I met up with Sonia and Faith for lunch at the coffee shop below Faith's and my apartment. Missing one auntie who is travelling around Malaysia for shoot, the champion who wears only tank top and shorts when it is raining in Cameron Highlands. Met up with the two girls and their respective partners for my very first time. The company was good. They introduced me their men and I intro them my boy. We all had partners -only my partner was the youngest there.

Looks didn't change much. Faith still looks like the little bubbly girl I knew back then in college, Sonia being Sonia only becoming more beautiful than I remember and ok, probably I am with the much change -looking haggard.

Jaden behaved well while we ate, drank and talked. The only thing he did was dropped his toys on the floor over and over again to see Sonia and I picked it up for him. Ggrrrr..

It has been a really good Sunday brunch for me. I missed them so. If only Joy could be here, then we would all be complete! There will be another brunch where 4 of us will be sitting down again, won't we? By that time, I supposed there will be at least 2 married couples instead of just me =)

I feel like

hanging out for a coffee with my girlfriends
going for a swim with my baby
beach-ing with my Joy
eating steamboat with my Hubby (I am so missing the steamboat buffet)
drinking bubble teas
dipping sushi into wasabe and feeling the rush
reading a good book
dressing up and feeling good
threading my eyebrows
learning how to draw eyeliner on my eyes like a pro
wanting to eat the smoked salmon at ikea
having a good steak / bbq ribs
indulging myself into cakes
slurping up tomyams and asam laksa-S
licking my fingers after a good meal of seafood (lalas, prawns, crabs, sotongs... oysters)
drinking chiled beer or sweet white wine ~

Getting so difficult

I wonder does all mothers out there experienced it the same as what I am going through right now?

Jaden, since discovering his latest developments, has made it near impossible for him to fall asleep just like he used to.

Now, he will try to clamber all over me, trying to push himself standing up by digging his nails into my skin, sitting up and then falling down again and then the whole cycle starts. Breastfeeding him has been made difficult too. He would only suckle on for a while before deciding he wants to go play yet he will cry a little after that, indicating he wants milk, but can't stay still for a minute to suckle on till he is full.

He is very tired. I know because when he is tired, he will rub both his eyes but he will just refuse to sleep. *sigh* He is just trying to accelerate his milestones development. It is as if he wants to learn how to stand before his 1st birthday. Its a good thing but well, when its bedtime, he has to sleep right? Its just heartbreaking to see a small boy like him get eyebags. =(

Is it normal for him to act this way? Do all babies go through this stage?

A tooth bite can be painful

Its our second time out of the house today. Hubby have another night meeting at this place where the route there is absolutely jammed up. It is such a bad bumper-to-bumper jam and then, there are morons who drive as if they are on a sunday morning drive. Pissed the shit out of me. I know, I am such a bad-tempered driver. I admit I am. Curses do flow freely and I am sure there are a lot of them out there that has been cursed till their 9th generation. Just kidding, my mouth ain't that foul but you'd understand la. =)

Ordered dinner from the coffeeshop below next to my apartment. I kind of like where I am staying now because everything is so convenient. Delivery service, there is a small little market that sells fish, chickens, vegetables and fruits. All the essential stuff, not to mention there is a Mydin some more. *sigh* and the best thing, I am located strategically 5-10 minutes away from The Curve. Yippee!!

Lately Jaden has been sticking real close either to Hubby or me. It seems that the separation anxiety is kicking in or is he just being a really really manja baby? Because if we were to leave him with any friend or relative of ours, and we pretend to say bye bye to him and go off, he don't give two hoots about us. Hmm.. So I think it might be just him being a manja baby!

Jaden is now trying to reach for things left on the sofa. Got to go get it out from his reach before he eats everything up. o.Oh did I mention that he bit me, with his ONE tooth and it actually hurts? I can't imagine when his two upper teeth and two bottom teeth sprouts out. Oh my.. things parents have to endure during the growth of their child. =)

Trouble sleeping

Jaden now has trouble falling asleep easily like how he used to.

Of late, he has been like on sugar high or something like that, climbing, clambering all over Hubby and I in bed, trying to push himself from kneeling position to a standing position. Guess the internal alarm is set in to start learning how to stand.

Hes been eating real lot too but still look skinny to us. Its ok as long as he is healthy.

He was so cute this morning. He purposely woke up when his father woke up. It was so early and unlikely of Jaden to wake up at such hour. He usually wakes up at about 1130am. Today he followed his father to wake up at 830am so that he can play with his father for a while and see his father off to work. So cute I tell you!

We bought him a remote control car to let him chase around in his walker. Something to take his mind off when he gets bored just sitting around in his walker while we see to our own things at times.. =)

Think if he practises hard enough, he could stand on his own when he turns one?
