Dedicate this song for my little GG..



By CREED " Arms Wide Open'

Well I just heard the news today
Seems my life is gonna change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man(aunt) I have to be
I take a breath, I take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

With arms wide open
I'll show you everything oh yeah
With arms wide open

If I had just one wish only one demand
I hope she's not like me I hope she understands
That she can take this life and hold it by the hand
And she can greet the world with arms wide open

Isaac's milestone



Isaac growing up so fast...too fast for mama to capture and download!! hehehhe

One moment he's learning numbers from 12-30... another moment he read up to 100!!

I know he is special, blessed with high ability to remember & fast learner. To my surprise.. he spell some of the simple words to me over the weekends. R.E.D is red mama, Y.E.L.L.O.W is yellow. I tot he can only read the BIG(capital) letters of alphabet.. but i'm wrong.. I under estimate him..he read me the Small letter as well..in fact very well..and relate this alphabet with the things surrounding him.. like..tree from letter T, Fountain from F is it, mama?.

I really dunno how he catches it..coz i've never teach him that yet. he's way way.. too young..I only thought him the things from the books. He's amazingly bright. And i'm having big headaches now..a bit pressure. What should I be expecting next? and what should I teach him next? Subtraction? Calculus?

Lately this Olympic fever even got to him. He prefer watching the sports channel than the cartoons. He asked & learn most of the sports he sees and related to the toys he has. He took a stick and hold it with both hands and hit a small ball and tell his POPO its GOLF! As he ran with the ball & stick.. he says it has became hockey!!No more slow slow golf.

Part of me felt proud.. another part, worry.. worried that I cannot catch up..and cannot afford the time to spend with him.

Again I Thanks the Lord for all his wonderful blessing..

What in a Brand?

LV, PRADA, ROLEX,OMEGA, ???? What about it that had make a circle of women or men gone crazy..

i'm a mother of 1 lovely boy,with a hard working & nice hubby, i'm turning 30 soon, what else do i want? err.. a big house with big garden ( with gardener), the new C200,a collection Omega, a big wardrobe filled with Aldo & Nine West, have 40-50 pcs of clutch (ie handbags- branded only)..

The thing is, will i get those luxuries? Yes I believe I will...provided.. I dun have my little boy.

Why?? Here the story goes..

I was invited to a big bargain for expensive watches. Its a preview plus sale for invited guests only. Feeling part privilege and part obligated (its a client's invitation. I drag 'my Datin" along.

As we we're there, I notice all women around 20 of them were looking at the watches, ranging from RM2k- RM20k. I was amuse, not by the watches..but the ladies..all of them were carrying LV lah, Coach lah, Gucci lah... and dress up in designer label as well..I envy them.. I also want to be one of them!!

After just 5 minutes, my "datin' already set an eye on 2 watches..and straight away making her purchases for rm4k plus. WOW..not bad huh..and through my observation, none of these lady do any purchases..they just came in and see see only.."not my taste' they says..One or 2 did some purchases like my 'datin'.

Neither did I make any purchases.. not that those watches 'not my taste' in fact very much mine..but i think i'm not in that league..the 'datin' league..or the 'branded' league...

I was wearing appropriately- my usual working suit, My only Aldo shoe, a"Celine" bag ( a gift from my 'datin') and a big warm smile. I fitted in that room very well. I do looks like i'm playing in the same league.

I'm in a league of my own, I picked up a few watches that really catch my eyes, try it on my wrist,had an urge the rm4-5k keeps ringing on my head. I can make those purchases and walk off making myself proud in the crowd. Later I can wear those as a status to share with frens & family. But the catch is...I won't buy any nutrition foods for IZ for 3-4 months ( and tell myself its ok as every child growing up the same anyway),or I will cancel the plan of getting the RM6K vacuum cleaner that eliminate dust mites that's irritate IZ, or even not buying IZ any books or toys for half a year(he has plenty of it anyway)...

but I put those watches down, walk to 'datin' and waited until she's done with her purchases. Instead of being happy with the branded watches, i walk off with a happy thought.. a comfortable and assurance feeling. I've choose something that I won't regret later.I've choose to play in IZ league.



ps: 'my datin" Is my beloved sister - dun belong to any league mentioned above.. as she have it all..

New Address @ Tropicana




We're in the midst of packing up & moving to our new "HOME". Trying to make it as cozy as possible with minimal $$$. In order to prepare my boy for this drastic change, we keep telling him how nice this house gonna be...and the father mentioned that 'its a hotel house' as we stay in hotel quite often & Isaac love it. Especially the big bath tub.

Today, he relay this to his PO PO, "popo, we're moving to new hotel house, got biiig bath tub, got nice fountain"
and he sound so excited.

So I guess now my hubby have to make a little fountain for my boy.. as he's expecting his "hotel house' to have fountain like any other hotel did!!

Isaac happy, Mama Happy??


I was playing with my beloved boy on his Popo & Kung kung's bed.. after a hard day work. We try to make each other laugh..we play & enjoy ourselves so much.. I love to hear his laughter.. its a magical potion to heal every stress and kiss up everything.

All of a sudden.. he stop..and climb on my chest. And start telling me this.. "Isaac happy, Mama happy?' YES mama so happy!!! Mama happy that my little boy can share with me his feelings and ensure the mama feels the same.

Its makes me feels like walking on air.. and my boy is a Big Boy now..We chat everyday..he'll tells me all his routine or adventure during the day.. and he aspect me to do the same. He's like a new soul mate to me..we watch TV & read together, like to eat the same type of food..ie sushi.. loovee going to bookshops..

Isaac & His Friends

Lately a more communicative Isaac has found himself 2 new frens. Last friday @ cell group gathering, Isaac has discover the fun to play & communicate with Kristen. Its so cute to see him having a fren. He has so much to talk to her. The 1st time that I see that he really like a companion besides a family member. Isaac also remember her name well..

Another fren of his will be his giraffe's stuff toy. A blue giraffe that he use it as a part of his 'Noah's Ark' adventure. He'll get his giraffe into his own made ark (with pillows) and get themselves covered and start his very own stories.. with making sound of the heavy rain & thunder!! so cute. Later he'll hold up his hands & pray.. "God, stop lain, stop hunder, protet IZ & cilaffe, AMEN". Just like his Noah book!! Then open up his ark and get his giraffe out from his ark.. and start to feed with my flower's bolster!!

Very good imagination.. now he started to more stories as he learn more..and sometime make me one of his character!sooo soo cute.

Another baby,...soon


My younger sister is 19 weeks pregnant now. After a scan few days ago.. she found out its gonna be a girl.!!!

I'm soooo happy for her.She always mentioned that she wanted a girl since she have a "SON" already (ie Isaac). I agree..by she having a daughter now means.. I have a son & going to have a daughter..Its complete.

Its a nice feeling of having another child in the family and its great to shop for baby's stuff together again. Its just now..its gonna be ALLL PINK!!!I'll pray that God will protect both the mummy & baby always and that one day they come to know u better.

Bed Time.. the time i enjoyed most

Another story about how my son amused me with his little intellegence. The reason why i would love to put this down here..coz i wanna read this in future, when he's a grown up.. and by reading this blog will be a nice down memory lane..and plus how proud i am/was with little Isaac.end

I always love spending bedtime with him, especially now at this age. He demands me to play a little hide and seek followed by a story telling before bedtime. He love "Noah's Ark' most. Love the animals, the thounder storm God has made and will always end it with a little prayer thanking God.

I started reading to him since young.. really young..when he was just 4 months old.!! Kiasu eh? No... I just love reading to him.. telling him about things happening around and naming everything he sees in the book. Besides, I love singing to Isaac with the words and things we sees around. I guess.. I just love playing "mummy" like the one u sees on TV!

Well to cut story short, until now we still practice story telling or singing at bedtime. Either I'll tell him some new stories or he'll tell me some sories he knows from his short little sentences.

Today, I'm particularly proud of him as he can read The Alphabet.. well almost entirely and showing it off to me in mum's place. And during bedtime..he counted numbers from 1 to 8!!! He was counting fishes and crabs on the book...and he recognised the numbers as well..WELL DONE son..!!

This fast development makes me so proud to be a mummy..and i'm sure all the mummies out there are definitely proud of their own child. Its hard for me to share with others as people will think i'm a show off.. and some even commented that i'm exagerating..but whatever they say..I'm PROUD!Perhaps the nutritious foods he consume, or the long hours that we spend to learn and play together or just ..he's plain smart...Whatever it is, i'm going to reward him with more books.. & love..

Isaac is 1 year 5 months 25 days old.

Happy Birthday, Son


Happy 1st Birthday Sweetheart,

This is the day that my husband & I have been looking forward for about a month, we did a lot of preparation for our little precious 1st birthday.The most hectic one should be preparing his photo album, from selecting the pictures, edit, getting the rite album, putting it to a story and even make it to a cd.It took us about a month.. but its all worth it.

I remember my father always say that birthday celebration was suppose to be meant for the mother not the child. Why?? Coz its a day that u celebrate the safe delivery and the glory of a 'mother's love'. Those days i never understand.. I do, now.

Looking back its been a year since i've became a "MAMA'. How does it felt?? GREAT!! I love this character. I have an obediant, intelligent and healthy son... nothing that i'll ask more. Its amazing feeling to watch my son grow..and its even more rewarding to be hug and love by my little boy every nite before bedtime and he great you every morning with a wonderful smile.

Its his 1st birthday today, and i can't wait to celebrate the 2nd,3rd and every single year with my 'precious little child'. Mama love u, Isaac.
Praise the Lord.

Oh..My Boy, Oh Water Boy!



My son LOVEESSSSS water..he looks forwards to shower time every day, even washing hands has become one of his favourite pastime.So on his 10th months, We brought our little precious to try the real thing. A real swimming pool. We booked 2 rooms in the Palace of the Golden Horse for a nite just to let IZ to have fun in the pool. Its a little outing with my parents too.

As expected once he saw the water!!! He wanted to dive in rite away! I think he's a natural swimmer.. he kick & move his hand as if he had lessons before. Should see the joy & happiness on his face.. Just too bad that he can only have one session as he has a bit of running nose then. But don't worry son, Papa said he'll make this a monthly outing in different hotels.

My name is ISAAC

Lately, my Little Prince started to babble a lot. Learning to speak.He basically repeat the last word that u mention to him..He's brilliant !!! To me,the Mama, He's very very smart..coz he started to call his own name. I know i've not mention his name in my blog until now.. (if u ever notice). He knows he is "ISAAC". So each time when I ask ' this belong to who?" he'll say '"IZ"

I was at home with him the whole day yesterday, as usual i'll play the spelling game with him.. it sound like this. 'Gimme an I, gimme a S, gimme an A, another A, gimme a C.. then gimme...." before i can finish the sentence, he just say.."ISAAC" loudly.. I was sooooo sooo impress..

I notice that he's a fast learner and has good memory too. At 9 months old, his development is very impressive. I'm sure every mama will be proud of their own child. As for me, I'm BLESSED! I feel blessed each time i think of him, each time i see his handsome face. GOD is so good to me, he gave me what I have prayed for.. even more. A bright, smart, good looking, adorable,happy and most importantly a healthy child..Thank you...GOD

Emotion Feeding


I've been a mother to a lovely & healthy child for more than 9 months now, there's one important recipe that keep both of us so close. I breast feed my baby even up to now. Besides all the health benefits that have been researched and published, I find that the bonding between the mama & the baby has a big role here. I enjoy every moment when we spend intimately, the privacy we have.. just me & my baby..

The only time when I can share and express to him how much I Love Him. And normally he'll held me close and start to complain of his dissatisfaction with his very own language. We sing, we exchange glances, we smile to each other...most importantly we feel loved. Especially now that he's more interactive, each moment became the highlight of the day for me. I don't wanna miss any of it. In fact, I would like it to stay this way in a long long time. It feels like u are falling in LOVE again.

So, mummies out there, consider to breast feed your baby even more than 6 months, then u'll understand and can feel what I felt now. Cheers..

Here's an interesting acticle that i snipped from "THE STAR" to share with u..


IT begins at birth. Our very first act after birth is to suck our mother’s ... milk. This is an act of affection, of compassion. Without that act, we cannot survive. That’s clear? That’s the way of life. That’s reality. – Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, The Art of Happiness A Handbook for Living.

This year’s World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) theme further emphasises the importance of breastfeeding. In a study recently published in Pediatrics in 2006, babies who started to breastfeed in the first hour of life in rural Ghana were more likely to survive the neonatal period than those who did not. Babies who did not start breastfeeding until after 24 hours from birth were 2.5 times more likely to die than babies who did.

“In a world where more than 10 million children die before their fifth birthday due to preventable causes, and where malnutrition is still rampant and associated with over half of all childhood deaths, there is simply no time to waste. Let’s start with the first hour,” said Dr Margaret Chan, Director General of World Health Organization.

An examination of 37 countries, covering some 60% of the developing world population, by the Bellagio Child Survival Group, published in Lancet in 2003, has revealed an increase in the rates of exclusive breastfeeding from 34% to 41% in the first six months of children’s lives.

Some studies even suggest an additional 1.3 million children would be saved annually if this rate were increased to 90%, while neonatal mortality would be reduced by 22% when children are breastfed within an hour of birth.

The remarkable first hour of life

When healthy infants are placed skin-to-skin on their mother’s abdomen and chest immediately after birth, they exhibit remarkable capabilities.

They are alert. They can crawl, stimulated by mother’s gentle touch, across her abdomen, reaching her breast. They begin to touch and massage the breast. This first gentle touch of a baby’s hand or head at the breast stimulates release of maternal oxytocin, thus beginning both the flow of milk and enhancing the feelings of love for the baby.

Then the baby smells, mouths and licks the mother’s nipple. Finally, he or she attaches to the breast and feeds. This sequence of events is important for the survival of human young.

Why is skin-to-skin contact after birth and breastfeeding within the first hour of life so important

1. The mother’s body helps to keep the baby appropriately warm, which is especially important for small and low birth weight babies.

2. The baby is less stressed, calmer and has steadier breathing and heart rates.

3. The baby is exposed first to the bacteria from the mother which are mostly harmless, or against which the mother’s milk contains protective factors. The mother’s bacteria colonise the baby’s gut and skin and compete with more harmful bacteria from health providers and the environment, and so prevent them from causing infection.

4. The baby receives colostrum for the first feeds – liquid gold, sometimes called the gift of life. Colostrum is rich in immunologically active cells, antibodies and other protective proteins. Thus it serves as the baby’s first immunisation. It protects against many infections. It helps to regulate the baby’s own developing immune system. It contains growth factors, which help the infant’s intestine to mature and function effectively. This makes it more difficult for micro-organisms and allergens to get into the baby’s body

Colostrum is rich in vitamin A, which helps protect the eyes and reduce infection. It stimulates the baby to have bowel movements so that meconium is cleared quickly from the gut. This helps get rid of the substances in the baby’s body that produce jaundice and therefore may help reduce it

5. Touching, mouthing and suckling at the breast stimulates oxytocin release – this is important for many reasons:

# Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract. This may help delivery of the placenta and reduce maternal bleeding after the birth.

# Oxytocin stimulates other hormones which cause a mother to feel calm, relaxed, and some would say “in love” with her baby.

# Oxytocin stimulates the flow of milk from the breast.

6. Women experience incredible joy with this first meeting of their child! And fathers often share this delight. The process of bonding between mother and baby begins.

Sunshine

I loved this song since my yuppie days(like 6-8 years ago)...then i knew i'm going to dedicate this song to my baby. I almost forgotten about it until lately i heard it on the radio. He's very much my sunshine. Now i understand why Gabrielle(single mother) dedicate this song to her son.



Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be
Not afraid to live my life
And fulfill my fantasies

I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise
When you came I saw

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

Reaching out, for the highs
You inspired me to try
I felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'Cos when you came you were my

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I said a truth
You wink at me
You're there for me

Sunshine (oh yeah)
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star

(Sunshine) Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine
My star, my star..

My Everything

Lately I come across this song by michael buble.. love at the 1st sight!! Just like how I love my precious boy!




You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And You're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
Cause you're my everything.
yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La,

Times Fly



Last Friday, my dad sent me to work with my son son in the car..he wave me goodbye and give me a big wet kiss before i take off. He have a kinda look on his chubby little face.. not smilling, not sad either. Vey hard for me to describe.. but that look on him make my heart sank.. make me feel that i don't wanna be apart from him that moment on. As my dad drove off.., I weep a little .. I miss him already.

Then I started to worry.. Worry that time fly pass me. That I would have miss all the precious time him. I always wanted to see my son grow. See every single improvement in him.Be there 24/7 to keep him warm, to keep him happy , to keep him safe.I don't want to regret in the future that I have traded all this with Money.

It seems in a blink of eye my little boy has grown up. He undertands what we tells him, he can wave bye, he can clap whenever he did something exciting or proud. He also rebel a lot lately towards whatever not in his favor.

Sometimes I pray to God that give me more time, bless me with financial stability. I'm building a castle for my Prince. I need more blessing.

Son son is 8 months old now, learning to crawl soon he'll learn to walk. Some people ask me when am I going to stop nursing him. Well, from the bottom from my heart.. I wanted to nurse him forever!!! There's a closeness between us that no one else can have whenever i'm nursing him. He's gentle, he hold me close, he call me Mama, he rub my belly. I cherish every single moment we spend together. So, fren.. no i'm not weaning him so fast, as long as he still wants me..or at least another 1/2 a year.

This Kiss



I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello, oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky...

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this--
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss.
It's that pivotal moment
It's impossible
This kiss, this kiss
(Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to snow white
How does love get so off course?
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse.
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying
