she rambles away

Hubby is down with cough. Bad one yet he still refuses to drink warm water. Padan muka don't want to listen to advice then now cannot kiss Jaden until he is well. Nevermind, he can watch me kiss kiss kiss Jaden then. =)

I, pulak, is sick and frustrated with my nose. The sinus is killing me. It really makes life miserable. What can I do to make it stop?

Just the other day when I said that Jaden loves his daddy because he showed signs of stress when I hit his father? Well, he loves me too. When the father pretended to hit me, he too went into crying mode. How cute can he get?

There is a lot of things pending for me to do. I know I want to do it but somehow there is always something that stops me. Like attending to Jaden till he sleeps and that also if he sleeps for like 2 hours or so. If not, everything will tergendala again. Need to clean up the house again, clean up the room, throw more things away that we do not need.. *sigh* a million and one things to do.

Did you hear? JLo gave birth already to twins, a girl and a boy. Can't wait to see their baby pics. Wonder who they take after? Soon to follow, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, o.OH and the best one, Angelina Jolie's. Babies are popping out every month out of somebody. Was just watching some pregnancy documentary and then it made me think of those days of my pregnancy. I missed being pregnant.. tho I miss drinking with friends too. I prefer being pregnant tho. heheeheh more privileges! Juno is a great movie to watch. Should get your hands on that. Lovely story line...

I plan to have my hair cut really short. Should I? Will I regret it? o.Oh.. how how how? I need advice wey...

Rushed dinner ... again

Jaden rushed us through dinner again. The reason behind it? Not because he got hungry but because he was sleepy and he refused to sleep stationary in his stroller cot. So as soon as Hubby and I stuffed ourselves with the ordered food, we quickly went home. Lets just say, a minute or two after the car started moving, Jaden fell deep into slumber. Till we reached home, carried him and put him in his little hammock bed, he was still sleeping. Aaarrgghhh!!!!!

Hes so SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Guess what Hubby did for Baby and me? AAwwwww.. hes so sweet! It was really a nice surprise for me when I woke up and went to open the fridge to find these... I have always wanted to get it since I read about it. HUbby just have to get it first for me. Just wondering if he walked all the way there when I was fast asleep or he ordered it online. Hmm... Anyway, I really appreciate what he did. Just in case if you are wondering why am I so hyped over these cakes, well, its because they are jelly cakes and I have yet to try jelly cakes. Wanna know where to get them? Try QJelly.


o.Oh and I LOVE YOU BABY
!!!





No prize for guessing which cake belongs to Baby and which one's mine!

Jelly cakes I love!!!! Muah Muah!!

p/s: The teddy bear is actually pinkish in colour. Just that the cam didn't manage to capture the right colours. Look a the many happy rainbow coloured layers of jellies. I LOVE I LOVE!!!

pp/ss: Nope, its actually brown in colour -Milo flavored. Hubby said it was either that colour or a green coloured one. I am glad he chose the brown one then.. =)

Manyversaries of theirs...

He teased her. He made fun of her when she chose the wrong words. He always chooses a word from her and said, "Word of the Day". They were just having a good time together.

Then one day, he had to be confined at home to rest. She visited him without fail each time she is back in town. They would have late night dinner together.

One night, he gave her a coat because she badly needs it. Then he broke the news to her that he had resigned. That the home confinement was just an excuse for him to get things done before he moved on to the offer he got. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she thought, "Great, just as I thought I was starting to feel for you more than a friend, you are moving on..." and she just hugged him and said Oh. He lifted her face up and smiled. "Oh you moron, how am I supposed to know how you feel about me if I don't do this?"

"Huh? What? What do you mean?"

and then there and then she realized she had been tricked into confessing her true feelings about him. Her ego had made her shushed about what she felt towards him all these while.

That was how he and she became 'them'.

Happy one of the Manyversaries!

this peeg went out for drinks

and I thought he went missing on me. He got me so worried. Despite me telling him I will change the locks after 12am and that be home early, he came home nearing dawn.

Somehow, I surprised myself for not being angry like I usually will be. I was just freaking worried if anything happened because he didn't f**king answer my calls. My record, just three times because I just couldn't be bothered anymore. At least he messaged me about 2am to let me know there were at the mamak to let his friend sober up before his friend fetches him home. I hung around the house anyway, couldn't sleep.

You don't know how I fell into deep slumber after he was home, bathed and on the bed with baby and me. I guess its just me not being used to him not around me during my bedtime. I feel much more secure with him around me. What will I do without him? *sigh*

Hair loss

I am really contemplating to cut my hair short or better still, have them shaved off. What do you think? Ever since after I gave birth, I am losing hair by CHUNKS! I know its the hormonal change in my body that makes it the way it is but still, CHUNKS?? It is so scary to wash my hair because each time, I comb my hair with my fingers, CHUNKS of them will just fall off. Should I just hold on to my hair or have them cut off? Got any good salons to recommend? I am never able to find good salons here that is able to style my hair to my face shape. The only time I am really satisfied with my hair is the style my hairstylist, Dash from Penang did it but now, hes resigned from the normal salon I go to so... I need a new one now. Recommendation please!!!

He loves his daddy?

Last night, Hubby was just trying to irritate the shit out of me as usual by taking the bolster and disturbing me. So I retaliate and took the bolster from him and started hitting him. Jaden then was lying at his spot on the bed and when he saw me hitting his father, he started scrunching up his face and cried. Does it mean he loves his daddy and don't want to see his mother hit his daddy or is he just plain scared of both of us clowning around like clumsy bears? Hmm...

Jaden now not only babbles in his own baby language but he found out that he could shriek, shout and scream on top of his voice. Sometimes he just scream into our ear. Let me just tell you how loud it is -DEAFENING! He is screaming his way for things he wants now. Got to start disciplining soon I guess...

Not only does he insist that I carry him out of the room after he wakes up and let him sit up, he wants to stand now. Should have seen how happy he is when he is standing. That little boy I tell you, is always up to mischief and schemes to bully his parents. Once he is awake, which is always about 12pm, there is no way he wants to lie on the bed anymore. Nope! He'd rather be out in the living room, watching TV with me or his Sesame Street shows. He rather nap outside than in the room.

as for me, lack of sleep lack of sleep lack of sleep and a nose that is killing me with stuck /running nose.. clarinase o.Oh clarinase, when can i pop you?

Mail for Jaden











Thank you God-father & Aunty Grace!! Muah muah! You both quickly finish study and come back k? Then only I shower you both with kisses although mommy and daddy say you have to pay RM3 per kiss from me! *bo geh grin** o.Oh and the notes you wrote for us, mommy knows how to read a little compared to daddy. Hes not so clever after all but never mind, 7 years from now, I am sure I can be daddy's right hand man! =)

NO ONE

"No One"

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Funny how they got on TV

Yesterday, while Hubby and I were seated in front of the idiot box, having a meal and watching this particular segment on AFC, we had a good laugh. This Korean host was introducing us to a dish of dried potatoes and when she took a bite into it, she said, "Mmm.. this taste just like potatoes!" **KA-CHING! OF COURSE YOU MORON! YOU JUST SAID IT WAS DRIED POTATOES. WHAT ELSE COULD IT TASTE LIKE?** Then she went on to introduce mini hamburgers and guess what she said? "Mmm.. these tastes just like burgers!" Shes such a genius ain't she?

Early this morning, I was sitting down watching One in A Million and this girl, Ayu came on to sing "My All" by Mariah Carey. Lets just say that her English pronunciation was horrifyings. The part where she got Hubby and I cackling were this line -
"I’d risk my life to feel / Your body next to mine"

She sang this - "I riss my life to feeeee your buddy next to mine"

and what did the judges say? That she will only lullaby her lover to sleep instead and that her breathing technique, vocal control, bla bla bla etc.. No wonder Malaysia produce such 'talents' and claim them one in a million because our judges suck big time when giving these contestants the truth. THEY SUCK! and thats the bottomline. I can imagine if it was Simon Cowell. He would prolly just say its absolutely horrible and he does not understand a word shes singing. In fact, I don't think she will even make it through the first two minute of singing at the audition.

Malaysia reality TV shows can really make you laugh, can't they?


u're 25 today!


HAPPY BURSTDAY LEE FOK SUN a.k.a Jaden's Godmother!!!!!

You know I love you ... I just can't help showing the world how Jadens' godmother look and behave... *gRin*

I am a hero

Dear Godmothers & Godfather,

Today, Mommy and Daddy took me to see my doctor. They say its time for my 5th month jabs. There were a lot of sick children at the clinic. They were all either running crazy or crying themselves silly. I wanted to play with them but daddy says I have to wait till I am much bigger.

Doctor gave me something to drink. It was nasty but I did not spit it out. Then doctor turned me over for the 6-in-1 jab. Mommy and Daddy stood in front of me while I lifted my head up to smile at them and then, everything was over. Just like that, it was over. I did not even feel a thing.

Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me. They call me their little hero. My next jab would be in 7 months' time. A long way to go. Yippee!

o.Oh and I have also put on 500grams from last month. I am now weighing at 7kg. Doctor said I should be piling on 200 grams every month now and when I am 1 year old, I should be weighing at about 9kg. The ideal weight. Luckily, as I am a breastfed baby, I am not obese like the others.

Conclusion, I am a hero today.

Love,
Jaden

The typical "S" I know

Just last week, I received 2 smses that made me laughed so hard, my tummy hurts.

SMS 1:
120208, 17:30pm
"I can't believe I locked myself out and its going to rain!"


SMS 2:
150208, 20:55
"OMG I am on this tram dan orang duduk sebelah aku ni muntah!"

Tell me, how can anyone not laugh when you receive such smses?

You know I love you. *gRin*

From Tan to Au-Yong, Congrats!

Back from my sis's wedding. Looked like we will not be going any more weddings with Jaden anymore. It will either be Hubby alone or none at all until Jaden can sit and eat with us. OR have his own meals.. because if my sis didn't allow me access to her room just now, I don't know how to feed Jaden anymore. Thankfully she did. Another one of us is married. Next would be her brother in Aug... Well, its about time he marry!

Met my aunties, cousins, nieces and nephews.. and showed Hubby the little Karen I was telling him all about. Just like what I told him -cute, chubby and just cute cute cute! That little girl went and tied her two pigtails with helium balloons! Aarrgghh and she ran around with that. So darn cute!

and o.Oh Jaden got lots more angpows from there from his grandaunties and granduncles. He was just seducing them with smiles. He was so intrigued with the helium balloons. His first encounter with balloons. If only he knew his mom love balloons too...

Quite a tiring night tho for Hubby and I because Jaden was just uncomfortable being there with the crowd going YAM SENG loudly and speakers blaring like nobody's business but all is good now. We are home and the little boy is fast asleep. Time to cuddle with the rabbits and Hubby for a while now.. so till then, ciao ciao!

Cursed

I think I am . Its my sister's weding today and guess what? This time around, both my eyelids are swollen again!! Yes! It only happens when I want to dress up and go attend a wedding. Blardy hell! I feel like an ugly duckling! wait a minute, what I am saying? I am one anyway so without the time to go and have my eyebrows thread, I look like a mess, with the hair that is growing out of place on my head and the breastfeeding breasts that makes bra-fitting a hassle. AARRGGGHHH!!!!

Sometimes when I surf blogs of mothers, and I see pictures of those mothers that has the time to go and pamper themselves, dress up, make-up, I feel a tiny-weeny tinge of jealousy. How did they do it? Me? I can't even spend an hour away from Jaden to go thread my eyebrows. Jaden just misbehave when I am away from him for more than half hour. and threading is the only thing I can do to feel pampered yet now its taken away from me. I don't do facials. I don't do massage. I don't do manicure n pedicure. All I do is just thread... *sigh* anyway there is nothing much I can do about it too coz its just the way life will be for me. Have to learn to accept it... I admit at times I feel so selfish I wished Jaden could grow up faster...

I hope Hubby won't comment on those hot-looking mamas because I am sure to go berserk if he does. OR to others too that comments on hot-looking mamas. Because if they lead a life like mine, they will look even shittier than I do. You think they can achieve what they look like without having a maid, mother /in-laws, rich husbands that don't really care about the kid but only want to go parade their wife and themselves, non-breastfeeding mothers? FUCK it coz at least I can be real proud of myself for being a responsible parent that cares for her child's priority before hers. At least I can say I took care of my son by MYSELF and successfully breastfeed him longer than I thought I would.

Aarrrgghhh FUCK IT ALL!!! DAMN THE SWOLLEN EYELIDS! DAMN THE FUCKING THICK EYEBROWS!!! FUCK IT ALL!!!!

emo-ing

Just sent my mom to the bus station and right now as I type, she is probably on her way home to Penang. It was rather an emotional situation for me to see her go home. Deep down, I missed her so much. I looked at her and see all the things she had done for me since a baby. The love for me in her eyes are still shining bright and how she is willing to do anything for me, makes me feel even worse that I am not always there for her now. I know Penang and KL aint far but there are times when I really just cant get away from work, now baby as Jaden can't even be away from the house for more than an hour now, unless given a place where I can nurse him lying down.

Told my mom I prolly make it home back during their birthday, of course with the little emperor and his botak guardian.

My mom still remembered that at the bus station, there is a shop that sells kuehs that she likes but when we were there just now, the kuehs have yet to arrive. Then sadly, she told me next time I get for her but as I was walking back to the carpark after making sure she got on to the bus, found her seating, taught her how to lie her chair back, I saw the kuehs. Without thinking twice, I quickly chose a couple of her fav and rushed back to the bus to give her. The smile on her face was priceless. It was the least I could do as a daughter to make her mother happy. I love her so much!!!!

My parents look older each time I see them and it saddens me to not to be able to spend time with them. It pains me to know that I am unable to repay them back all for what they have done for me. I admit I was a very pampered daughter and I always get what I wanted. I am still feeling very emotional right now as I type this post. Tears are streaming down but then again, I am very much a crybaby..

Unconditional love

It is indeed a challenge in a way. To try not to lose patience over small matters. To try not to be angry because it ain't her fault. Basically, its his and my fault for letting her be on her own when we should be by her side everytime. Its our fault her situation is getting worse. Sad? Of course I am.. very very very but I ain't ashame. I am just sad to see the 'she' whom I once knew to be my protector, my bestfriend, my guardian, someone who loves me truly for who I am, who sees no fault in me. So I in return, shall see no fault in her and love her with all my heart just like always... I love you. Happy Valentine!

A visit from Xy

Xy and her husband came over to visit my family today. Poor thing, both ter-stranded out there at my door, because we didn't hear them knock. Did you knock long dear? Anyway, as I was just coming out of the room, I heard their footsteps shuffling out there. Hubby and I was just speaking of them -speak of the devil and there they both are at our door.

Jaden took a while to warm up before starting his seduction skills again. He nga nga googoo over Xy and was not even shy to accept her angpow. He took it so quickly and grabbed it tightly. Cheeky little boy! He sure have a good time with her...

Life is not what it seems

My dad just left for Alor Setar. Hes driving back alone. My mom would be staying with me till the end of the week. *sigh* Hope that my dad would be fine driving back alone...

It is nice to have your own parents around. I missed them so much. Jaden likes them too, for now as he still don't know how to choose people but I am sure he would love them just as much as I do.

I found out more about in our family history. Some questions were answered. I bet Hubby is curious to know what I found out. Lets just say I got lucky!

Now, this week would be a challenge for me. Its a test to test my patience and handling of family. To cater to mother's needs, Jaden's needs and Hubby. Let me see if I am able to survive it... *crossing fingers real hard*

Meeting Grandpa & Grandma Loo

Grandpa & Grandma finally reached my house at about 7pm. I have not seen them since I was one month old.. and its now three & half months later. They say I am a big boy.. very tall too. They say I look like mommy. Grandpa and Grandma can't stop carrying me. They love to play with me. *gRin* I got lots of angpows from mommy's cousins too. I love Chinese New Year!


Grandpa & Grandma Loo



Don't I look happy in Grandpa's arms?



*gRin*



In a deep conversation with Grandpa Loo



One last picture with Grandma before she turns in to bed tonight...

a Quiet affair

Today is the 4th day of CNY. People are pouring back to their work tomorrow. My guess, the highway is all jammed up with cars. *sigh* Holiday over so fast? Hmm.. today is also my sis's wedding dinner in Perlis. All my relatives would be there.. cousins, uncles, aunties, nephews and nieces.. It would really be one big reunion then. If only Jaden was a year or two years older, then I would be there sitting at the dinner with my parents. BUT I am not missing the wedding entirely. I am going to attend the one she is going to hold in KL. =)

The only thing that was repeated like last year was house-cleaning. Hubby did most of the job actually. So proud of my Hubby because I don't think a lot of husbands out there would actually clean the house thoroughly like mine. Can't find anyone like him out there anymore you know. *gRin*

CNY this year had been rather quiet. Only family affair and that also was just dinner. Then, its back to the world of Hubby, Jaden and I... and Cheekie and Cheeko don't have to go and stay with others. Kesian them, that we have to leave them with my friend last year.

Can't wait for the little boy to grow up to want to meet his cousins, travel around to collect angpows and sit at the dinner table together. So for those wondering how I spent this year's CNY, it was spent only in PJ and PJ only.

I missed the Loos'...

Guess who is in town?

He told me he would be in town from 2 Feb till 12 Feb. Got so excited to see him again, that I quickly showed Joy the mail he sent. A few days after he touchdown in M'sia, Joy and I made dinner plans with him yesterday. I also wanted to show him my family.

Joy picked him up and we met up at The Curve @ Fridays for dinner. *sigh* The food standard is just going down down down. No longer worth the money we paid for the food. Anyway, we chatted away and oh boy, how good it feels to see him and know about other friends that have gone back to their motherland and what they are doing now. Last night was just perfect.

Want to know who he is?

Its been 3 years since he left M'sia after graduation and its good to know that he misses M'sia. His actual plans were to kidnap Joy back as his bride but guess after seeing Joy, she just didn't meet up to his expectations. Old and Dying and RICH.. =)

I am so hoping that one day Kemiso would come back too..

(RED) product

if only I could get my hands on this Baby GAP... and its only $4.99 in UK... aarrgghh.. why don't they sell it here in Malaysia?

Rambling away as usual

The weather is crazy isn't it for these past one month. Its been really hot like in the afternoon, and come 4pm onwards, it starts to rain heavily. The type with loud thunder that can rock you. Maybe I am just exaggerating about the rocking you part but you do get what I mean. I wonder how those that are doing business at The Curve's flea market is doing with all these rain.

Was in the mood of house-cleaning earlier today. So, decided to climb up high to wash the dirt and dust off the fans in the house. Actually just two. The one in the living room and also the stand fan that I have in my room. Next, I think I would clean up the 'guest' room for a while so that my parents could come and sleep comfortably when they are down for CNY.

My sister's wedding is just a week away. I wonder how is she doing. My mom have decided not to go down to Perlis until the 3rd day but dad wants to go down on the first day just because of .. anyway, none of my business that I am tied down here in KL. Maybe next year, I shall take Jaden back there for his first CNY celebrations with the Loos and Tans. This year, he shall celebrate it with the Yaps.

On Thursday, we took Jaden to buy his CNY shirt. Looked around for some bright red bodysuits or baby clothes. Saw one at Baby GAP but it was a size too small for the little boy. *sigh* and there aren't many choices here in Malaysia to choose from.. so **hint hint** the godfather in UK to look out for Baby GAP clothes.. (so feeling not shy about HINTING TO THE GODFATHER) but seriously the clothes here are so limited in terms of sizes / fashion style. Even clothes for me is kind of limited. I myself can't seem to find one that I really like and fall in love with. Even if I did fall in love with the clothes in the catalogue, it prolly will disappoint me when I see the real thing. Just like the dress featured in FEMALE December issue. Pricing pun salah gila babi and the cloth of that dress, lets just say you can buy better dresses for that price. Sucks!

Got to get hold of a few dresses and shoes. Don't have enough shoes... dresses too.. but what girl will say that she has enough clothes anyway? *gRin*

Cute and yellow and chubby

Rub-a-dub-a-dubby!

Rubber Ducky, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

Every day when I

Rubber ducky, I'd like a whole pond of -
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you!

Doo doo, be doo

Ki Siao-ing on the road

Have you guys living in PJ seen the jam today? Its total madness I tell you! To get to Sunway, even by using the highway, it took me one hour! Padahal, with my driving, usually its only 20minutes top and today is just exceptionally a bad day for people to go anywhere in PJ because you will get stuck in all directions! From my place to the shophouses in Kota Damansara also took like half an hour just to get into the area and another half an hour to get out from there. Its crazy I tell you! CRAZY! Took the LDP back from Sunway, also very bad! The cars are just bumper to bumper.. so frustrating to drive in such a situation. Gets you boiling and then there are inconsiderate and stupid drivers who makes you want to erupt there and then! Just because its Federal Day in KL and CNY is drawing near. People are on their mad rush to shop and shop and shop... *sigh* Life...

anyway,

Hubby and I took baby for his third massage class. Learnt how to massage his arms, chest and head this time. Jaden was a happy baby when I massaged his legs and tummy. Just babbling away while I massaged him. So cute.. should have seen him then. He knows how to enjoy his massages now. He just fell asleep for a while. His nap before his bath.. Don't think the nap is going to last more than half an hour before Hubby shouts for me.

Finally, I returned my lactation consultant her electric breast pump. Not doing much good to me as Jaden still refuses the left breast most of the time. Only when hes desperate for it then only will he suckle on. I guess breastfeeding has its pros and cons. More pros tho I think. I am very much pro when it comes to encouraging new mothers-to-be to breastfeed because I saw the beauty in it..

Pros
  • The baby and you share a special bond.
  • You save a lot of money by not needing to buy formula milk powder. (They are expensive you know, and with the little one wanting his milk every two hours when he is still a newborn and then four hours each after hes grown up a little like me will make you go running to buy formula milk every two weeks or three weeks.)
  • You save on the time getting up and making sure water temperature is right, sterilize the bottles after use.
  • Baby gets the nutrients and is more protected against atopic diseases. (allergies etc.)

Cons
  • If you don't feed regularly, you get breast engorgement. (but can be helped with breast pump to pump it out)
  • Baby don't get the rich milk from you.
  • Baby might get obese from the formula milk.
  • Its just not healthy compared to human breastmilk.
  • Some babies are lactose intolerant.

I told a certain someone (B) that I am breastfeeding even until now and I plan to do so until Jaden is about 1 years old. B then tells me that how is it possible that I still have milk production whereas her friends has all run out of breastmilk. But if you feed regularly and religiously like me, there will be no such thing as running out of breastmilk. So see? Myth #1 is so wrong. Then B tells me, should feed with formula too because if I breastfeed for long, my breast will sag. I understand that the milk inside will definitely make the breast feel heavy but once the baby suckle on it, it will go away until it fills up again. Nobody escapes gravity, Hubby says but still the breasts will go back to its shape after you weaned your baby off breastmilk. It won't be an instant overnight change but it will grow back normal as how it was before you were pregnant so Myth #2 also salah! Guess you can tell me anything but I won't be discourage from breastfeeding my baby because I know its the best for him and I only want the best for him.. so there! bLek! =p

I realized that when you have a child at home and to have the opportunity like Hubby and I to observe every development that Jaden makes is so wonderful. Happiflyings thats what Jojie and Hubby would say. To watch him smile his first smile at you and curling his little fingers around your fat fingers, cooing and talking to you... laughs at anything you play with him.. aarrgghh.. wanna know a secret? I missed being pregnant too. Its one of the best thing to happen to me to be pregnant with Hubby's child and giving birth to Jaden. Love them both! So I totally don't get it why some married couple don't want to have children. Not those couple that still wants to have children but is still waiting for the right time. I mean those couple that absolutely makes it clear that they do not want to have any children at all.. if only they know the beauty, happiness and pride of having kids around them.. =)
