I totally forgot about my blog being so stucked in the rat race...
Time to move on to a new job and new environment. Starting over, proving myself again, making new friends and getting adjusted.
How reluctant I am to move out of my comfort zone.
Pray for the best ! :)

Best still, is get a group of common interest friends and help each other buy. Good thing, is your don't need to be there when you shop.

My son, I pray you will learn to be Godly, Respectful and Kind.
My daughter, I pray you will learn to be Humble, Independent and Wise.
These were the words that popped up in my mind and I pray they will be close to their hearts in their growing years.

I woke up feeling depressed. I feel neglected, unloved and
very used. Why?
My son doesn’t want me (seriously because I don’t spend time
with him). My husband is in his own world of handphones and computer. My
parents pick on me no matter what I do.
I am tired.
Guess is the last stretch of hormones in this pregnancy.

It has been a tumultuous motherhood journey for me these
past 4 years.
As the date of delivery drew closer, this last pregnancy
passed by in a split of a second. From going through vomiting every night for
the past 7 months to occasional vomiting these past few weeks and bleeding in
the gums, I have not really allowed myself to enjoy my final pregnancy.

I am expecting baby no. 2.
Lift is not easy and pregnancy is different.
During the first trimester, I was always tired, had vomiting
at nights, food aversion to anything too oily or salty, bleeding gums and vomiting
due to fluoride toothpaste. I didn’t gain much weight; in fact I lost weight.

It has been 3 years of motherhood and I do not regret any moment of it.
Just to write a note to remind myself before I forgot.

I happened to pass by the area after I left the medical centre which confirmed my lil baby is no longer with me..
It has been almost a year since that day.

I suddenly remembered the feelings of absence within me...

Sins of a parent will carry forward and felt by him.
My son will have no cousins and relatives to dote and play with him during his childhood. His father being the only child will not help this either.
My parents don't really like me. My brothers don't really like me. I don't like them either.

Many years later, I encountered other Korean dramas and got hook once a while trying to watch them e.g. Boys over Flower, 1st Shop of Coffee Prince.. and some others I can't recall now.

I have known that there is no future and further advancement here for few years now but I stayed on until my baby is no longer a baby.
As I take a new path (hoping for the best) with butterflies in my stomach and uncertainties again, I hope I can hold on to my faith and seek God in times of this uncertainties again.

Then, out of the blue, it is as if the wires connect, he started speaking.
He made a point to have eye contact with you, then pointed an object and said "bluuuu". (Blue colour)
Then he pointed at the next bead and said "greeee". (Green colour)

Hence, I googled reasons why they turn down meals and was given these points to ponder:
1. Miss Independent.
The toddler wants to decide on things. My mum has allowed my son to choose what shirt he wants to wear and he happily does it. I guess individuality is coming out.
2. Food taste "yucky"

I can remember clearly the day I suspected you were conceived.
I was full of joy when for the first time, the home test results showed positive immediately.

Baby M has started self feeding himself last week during dinner. He can scope his cereal and soup.
