As I turned two years old, my mummy has so much thoughts and feelings. Two years ago, my mummy experienced the most excruciating pain in her lifetime to deliver me into this world and after two years, I have grown to be a boy who tugs at her heart. She has taught me a lot, like how to eat, play, sleep. But she feels that I have given her a lot more.
Thank you, my Javier for teaching me to be tolerant,
when you throw a tantrum or cry for no rhyme or reason.
For teaching me how to spend on someone else,
and how to compose myself despite being terribly upset.
You have also taught me how to thank others for making u who u r today.
No matter what happens, you are always mummy's Javier and I will always love you.
Sometimes, I cannot imagine how my little bundle has developed physically, socially and intelletually. He has shown me that he's capable of doing a lot. Though I see children everyday, I am still amazed and I thank GOD for giving me this wonderful baby.
I've learnt so much from him. I dunno how to pen it down. This experience of motherhood is something no one else can give or take away. Once you become a mother, this experience is the most worthy and precious to you.
So now, even as I am sporting a very very terrible backache (so bad I cant turn in my bed) from my 2nd pregnancy, I have no doubt about this. God is gracious to me and my family. We are blessed.

Javier's 2nd Birthday Bash with all Nov 07 tots
Today was a special day for all the mummies and babies of November 2007.
This month, two years ago, marks a significant change for all of us, child and adult alike.
We held a simple birthday bash at McDonald's this year. Games, fast food and cake.. not forgetting the ice cream were part of the deal.
Some of my friends were under the weather and sick too.. I hope that they will get well really soon.
Happy Birthday, friends!

Saying hello with my little brother in 3D
Yesterday, mummy and papa brought me to see didi to say hello in 3d.
My first meeting with didi.. but I didn't know at all. When the doc performed the u/s on mummy, i kept telling mummy,"mummy bao bao". Mummy thought that this time round will be less emotional for her, but she realised that it's not true. She teared a little when she saw didi's face. Didi also played hide and seek with Dr Chang. He tried to turn away from the camera when the scan was done.. Dr Chang had to retake the picture of his face in the end again.
Here is a picture of my didi.
After that, we went home for my nap. then went out to Taka baby fair to get some essentials for didi, but well, we ended up with more of my stuffs.
We also had a nice dinner at Sushi Tei.

My busy weekend
Mummy has been really busy 'resting' these days.. It's tough for her to work, sleep and look after me with didi growing inside her each day. She's really doing a great job now.
Well, back to me, I have been talking a lot these days. I have also learnt to put words together to get what I want. For instance, I'll say "put here".
I also attended Minh Li's birthday party and I had loads of fun. Thanks for inviting me, MInh Li!
We also went to a chinese restaurant to have dimsum cos daddy wants to terminate the starhub account. I had really yummy char siew buns and century egg porridge. I ate 1 and a half baos! Daddy and mummy were so shocked.

Javier's 3rd day at school
Today is Javier's 3rd day at school and I dunno how he's gonna be like. He was crying from 9.30 to 10..30 yesterday. I think he'll cry again today, but I hope he will settle down soon. It's so difficult... I dun want him to think I abandon him but at the same time, if I give in and pamper him, he will not settle. I thought for a long time yesterday and made a few calls to ex-colls, n the consensus is to let him cry is better for him in the long run. No matter what, he's a boy. I have to trust the teachers and my son. He can do it. I will have to try.

A decision to leave it to God.. I'm just going to be happy
Finally, finally, after so much tears and stuff, I've decided that since I can't do much for my job except wait and see how my morning sickness goes, I will leave it to the God above to decide. For a long long while, I have been thinking about going back to work, then the puking makes me so so sick that I put it on hold. Then I worry about not being fit enough to go back when my leave ends in 9 days time. Then I detest this little life inside me, cos I can't do all of the 'normal' things that I did before and I just lay on bed most of the day. And, not forgetting the scholarship I gave up for this baby.. WIth my mum, maid, and hubby doing everyhting for me. I am just too sick, i figured. And I figured its because I am pregnant, to the extent that I told my hubby that it just does not make sense to have a 2nd child.
I thought long and hard for the past week. Today, I read something that just tugged at my heart.. It's about abortion and how the baby felt when the mummy doesn't want it anymore.
Abortion
Dear Mommy,
I am in Heaven now...I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has
happened.
I was so excited when I began realizing my
existance. I was in a dark, yet comfortable
place.
I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far
along in my developing, yet not near ready to
leave my surroundings. I spent most of my
time thinking or sleeping. Even from my
earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me.
Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried
with you.
Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I
heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and
hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much.
One day you cried almost all of the day. I
hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were
so unhappy.
That same day, the most horrible thing
happened. A very mean Monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me.
Maybe you never heard me.
The monster got closer and closer as I was
screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me
please! Mommy, help me." Complete terror is
all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I
thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster
started ripping my arms off. It hurt so bad; the
pain i can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as
it ripped my leg off. Though I was in such
complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never
see your face or hear you say how much you love
me.
I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had
so many plans to make you happy. Now I
couldn't, all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all.
I wanted more than anything to be your
daughter.
No use now, for I was dying a painful
death. I could only imagine the terrible things
that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.
The angel took me away to a wonderful
place. Then I was happy. I asked the angel what was the thing was that killed me. He
answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is, I guess that's the name of the monster.
I'm writing to say that I love you and to
tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful.
It sucked my arms and legs off and finally
got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just
wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die.
Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion
monster.
Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to
go through the kind of pain I did. Please be
careful.
Love,
Your Baby Girl
Although abortion was never on the cards for me, I felt that the baby has a life and he loves me. He doesn't mean for me to suffer this way and the feeling of detest I had for him was so silly, so unfounded. If I, as his mother don't love him, then he can feel it and he will be very very sad. When I thought about this, I think I woke up. He's God's gift. And, I will love him, just as I loved Javier.
So, now, I leave whether I will be well enough for all my 'normal' events to GOD, I can't do anything... And I believe I will live through this and say, "I'm happy for this family, for this life I've lived", when my time is here.
I think too much? Maybe... but at least it's sorted.

Our day on 4th July
Today, mummy and daddy brought me to see my little baby... We still dunno if it's a boy or a girl, but we know that my little sibling has got hands and legs all ready. I still am not sure what Dr. Lim was doing with that funny thing around mummy's tummy and i wonder what's the screen for. BUt, mummy and papa say that Dr says my little baby is much more stable now and they are really happy. I had sundae at Mcdonalds too and enjoyed it tremendously.
Well then we pack food back home and I fell asleep in the car, now I am awake and busy playing at home. I will probably take my nap at 2pm today!!!

Updates for the Javier and his family
It's been a long time since my mummy posted... I know. And you know why? At first, she was very very busy with work, then she discovered she has another little baby in her.
Ever since mummy has a little baby, she has been confined to the bed on weekends. As for weekdays, she also stayed home and didn't step out of the house at all (she's on unpaid leave for a month). Mummy's really poor thing; she keeps throwing up and I am always so sweet to bring tissues to her. Mummy does not dare to drink water too.. cos once she does, she will vomit. ANyway, other than the puking, we, as a family, my papa, mummy and me, really looks forward to my didi or meimei's arrival next year.
Daddy's been companying me more on weekends.. he brings me to the park for fun, cycling, running, sand, slides... papa's been super, you know? He's been caring for mummy too.. whenever mummy wants to eat, he will go the distance to get it. He's my dad, a real dad.
Ah ma has been caring for me on weekday nights and days too... cos mummy's not well.. And, so, ah ma has been toiling and although mummy knows she's really tired, ah ma always insists that she will come with us back to Bishan. Ah ma is really good. And I know why, her heart aches when she sees my mummy 'suffering'. But, but, mummy's 'suffering' will end in 9 months with another heartthrob, so it'll be all worthwhile. it will be joyous..
Eka's been good at her duties, though she occasionally still make mummy scream. hahaha... ah ma says she's so so scared of mummy. She has been companying me with daddy making trips for fun and running errands and doing housework to simple cooking for our family. And, I love playing soccer with her at home. It's loads of fun!
Okie, that's the status of the household. Will try to change photos on my blog later. Take care and muackz, with lotsa love.

Our trip to Hongkong
hahaha.. we finally made our way home from Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Macau.. It's a long long trip.
There were some events that are worthy of mention.
Day 1: Disney Hollywood Hotel
I fell from the big big bed cos daddy ask mummy to pack the backpack while he watch over me. But alas, daddy turned around to pack the camera bag, then i crawled and fell off the bed. I cried buckets! Mummy was so so upset she scolded papa and cried. Luckily, grandma was with us and managed to calm all of us. Papa felt terrible and mama too.. Mama said sorry to papa and they huh hug each other.
Okay, after that, the highlight was Disneyland, of coz. The fireworks was splendid. Ah gong and ah ma were so happy! Mummy and daddy also, and me too... though I fell asleep 15 minutes after the show ended.
Day 2: Planned visit to Lantau
The planned visit to Lantau didn't materialise as it was raining. so we ended up shopping at tung chung. Mummy had an enjoyable time. We went back to the hotel for the check out and guess what?! I fell asleep in the pram. So the 4 adults went strolling in the park. We became wu jia ke gui. Hahaha...
Day 3: Hong Kong Day tour
We went for the typical city tour and then we ended up in shenzhen where we had good food and cheap shopping. We rested in the hotel which was pretty pleasant.
Day 4: Windows of the world
We went for the typical shenzhen city tour. It was quite pleasant as we had a pretty good tour guide. Mummy bought me a laughing buddha jade pendant, hoping that I will always be so so happy.
Windows of the world was impressive but I slept all the way, until I reached Paris. hahaha...
Then I did the tap dance on stage with ah gong. Hahaha...
Day 5: Macau
We reached Macau in the evening and decided that a nice slow dinner for the night fit us all. We went for a nice Portugese meal and ah ma managed to find a bakery selling local goodies. so she ended up food tasting in the shop and we bought a carton full of goodies.
Day 6: Macau - HK
We had city tour and then we went for the famous church wall. I was awake until I reached the wall. hahaha... so the 4 adults concluded that I always sleep when we go for the important sights.
We also had portugese egg tarts and I had a good time in one of their theme parks, I have some hotos to show how I look like du shen!
Day 7: HK
We haven had much time in HK actually. So we decided not to go far. We went for a nice dim sum breakfast and then to Ladies market. Then it was time to head home. Check out the photos.
Some things I realised during the trip:
[1] J's a big boy now. He can walk really well and run fast.
[2] He's a real happy boy.
[3] He's scared of mascots.
[4] He hates shopping.
[5] He's fussy about food.
[6] He sleeps at 9am.
I love my boy and family to bits. I am terribly tired but I dun regret going for this tour.

Decided on school for me!
Mum's decided on school for me. I'll be spending some time at Masterpiece till I am old enough for kindergarten.
Today has been a tiring day for mummy and she just hopes to constantly remind herself that it's a real blessing to have me.
Thank God for giving me my dearest boy,
whom i promise to hold and love
unconditionally
faithfully
and
loyally
May I be thankful for the moments when I fume at his tantrums,
cos it means he's still close to me.
May I be joyous when he kicks a fuss,
cos it means he knows what he wants.
May I be aware of what I've got,
And be thankful and grateful.

Javier's recovering from stomach flu
The last week has been a tedious journey for mum and the entire family. I was down with stomach flu, which means vomiting and diahorrea for the week. It was really tough as my appetite was poor and did not want rice or porridge. ANd, oh yes, i was put on soy formula. Grandma had a hard time too.. taking care of me. I didn't sleep well too and kept waking in the night. Mummy suffered from an inflammed ear drum yesterday; the doc attributed that to the sinus problem. It was not a very pleasant week but mummy is so glad that the week's over and weekends are here. Tomorrow will be fun as we plan to visit a 3 weeks old mei mei. She's the daughter of my dad's good friend. As usual, morning will be for marketing and cooking what I like to have, noon is dedicated to the trip and evening will be playtime @ the park. Mum's promised that if it rains, we'll go to fidgets.
PS: I really hope the viruses will stay away from us... It's really been a roller coaster week.

Excursion to Farm Mart
This morning was nice and cool. I decided to wake up at 6am (an hour earlier than usual) to play. Mum and dad couldn't take it, so they slept in for another hr whilst I played with Eka. When they rise, mum made pizza for my breakfast. We changed, then set off for Farm Mart. It was a bit of a dead town at first, but as more children joined us, it became a very nice and cozy morning. I saw bull frogs (mum's scared), tortoises, rabbits, chincillas, birds, fishes, prawns, dogs and goats!
Mummy tried getting me to feed the goat. I did it once n refused after. They are simply too scary.
We went scouting for CNY flowers after that, but mumy didnt see anything she likes. We went home and I got my long long nap! What a day!
