0.5 birthday

I can't believe it has been six months since LA was born.
Six months since I felt the contractions.
Six months since my life was changed completely.
Six months since I became a mother.

Who would've thought? Alhamdulillah.

We (I) originally planned to sleep train her today. I was even prepared to use the Ferber cry-it-out method. I did promise her I won't leave her crying when we were cleaning the Southbank apartment, but she did cry herself to sleep in the carseat while I was driving alone. So it is possible.

But in this new place, her cot is too far away from our room, good for the cry-it-out method but bad for the separation anxiety!

So I guess we're (I am) holding it off for just a little longer. Erkkk!

Tv cabinet

Fark I would rather be at home with everyone from my dad's family for the three events - engagement, aqiqah and wedding - than staying here arguing about the goddamn furnitures.

I'm only here for you in the first place.

If I had a dollar every time we talk about getting a new tv cabinet, I would be a freaking millionaire by now. It's not even yours. If we throw it, you wouldn't miss it. If we sell it, you'd get 100% profit. But I guess I don't have a say.

Like everything else that goes on in my life. Fark.

What's gonna work?

Teamwork!

Thank you boys for moving our stuff through the three flights of stairs and the romantic rain. So brave!

Thank you girls for the unexpected food and company.

Yesterday we woke up in our new home. We were too tired to set up the beds so the three of us huddled in the living room together. I don't know if it was just last night, or if it is Dandenong itself, but OMG I was freezing, can't imagine how LA must be feeling. The last I've felt this cold was winter in Europe 2004/2005. Geez louise papa cheese.

It has been a long weekend, physically, not literally. I feel sorry for AY because I couldn't help much with the hard labour. The apartment in Southbank is a walk-up apartment, and our penthouse is of course on the topmost floor.

LA, you didn't help much. Duh, of course you can't carry stuff and all. But you can't even sit and play quietly by yourself for longer than 20 seconds! So the whole day I had to carry you around while barely unpacking, entertaining and cooking nasi ayam for the removalists! Sakit okay!!! Sampai sekarang! Haih... You're not that light anymore!

We (mostly AY) have been going back and forth the old and new home to clean and bring the leftover random stuffs. So it has been a loooong week. The next few days are going to be hectic too. LA's still not helping.

I reckon we need a bit of a break soon. I sense a Christmas trip <strike>and diamond earrings.</strike>

salah ke makan nasi lauk kari daging pukul 6.30pagi?

TAK SALAH; kalau memang dah lapar.

TAK SALAH; kalau tengah breastfeed and perlukan calorie yang lebih.

TAK SALAH; kalau dah memang ada nasi and lauk kari leftover dari semalam.

tapi SALAH kalau asyik makan and makan tapi tak kenyang-kenyang! The last time this happened LA was in my tummy! What's my escuse this time? :(

What a joke!

What an effing joke!

The events that transpired tonight made me realise that I am living a life that is, well, not really a life.

Is it me? Is something wrong with me? I know friends come and go, but aren't they supposed to stay for a while, longer than 5 minutes maybe. I truly envy those people with lifelong friends, childhood buddies, or even one close friend. I have none. My best friend is my husband, and I dread for the day that LA will outgrow me and just think I am her uncool mother.

2011 resolution: make friends. Sorry I mean, make REAL friends. Not just people you're forced to hang out with because your husbands are friends, but really REAL FRIENDS! Grr.

shit not again!

It happened again. This!

Okay, granted it was quite funny how it happened this time, but I am still slightly worried. I was just about ready to speak about this when it happened again, so I guess we have to do a little bit more waiting.

LEAH MOMMY STILL LOVES YOU!
