The one with updates

Kate has been sick for 2 weeks plus... Finally she's much better now. Our bintan trip was great, other than having Kate getting a fever on the second day. That was a bummer but well, it was still a good short getaway. I was looking at her passport and realized that we have gone out of the country like 6 times within the last two years! Thank God for blessings from my parents and hubs! I am always trying to get out of the same old rut-need to have a change here and there. Kate has been to a grand total of 10 different hotels and 2 chalets! I'm glad she has no problem sleeping anywhere!


I was thinking about how I love that my friends are all so accommodating towards us, and I get to bring her everywhere I go. Long ago before I had her, I thought that should I ever have a kid (even though I didn't want one then), I want to be like those caucasian parents I've seen at the airport carrying a baby on top of their huge backpacks, or those cool parents who does everything with their kid, and not think of the kid as a liability or even troublesome. I'm glad that somewhat I have been doing that. It really isn't easy bringing her along everywhere; there's so much you have to bring along and worry about, whether people dislike the idea of having a kid around, the inconveniences and how safe it actually is. But I love that having a kid around just slows you down abit, and lets you enjoy things in a more childlike way. And I love not having to worry about rushing home, worrying about her and whoever's looking after her. Hee. Someone asked me before what is the point of having a holiday when I have her along-I wouldn't be able to relax or have a proper holiday anyway. But I love bringing her along! I just love that she and I get to do new things and see new sights. If I had the cash, I will most definitely bring her backpacking with me, round Europe. Maybe it's the thought I keep having at the back of my head, which tells me that I should enjoy my time with her while I can , before she grows up and have her own friends and life. I have been thinking about having a second kid, but I kinda feel like my whole heart belongs to Kate now and I'm not sure if I need to have a second one. Besides I'm not sure if we can cope with another one...be it financially or physically and mentally. *K, k I admit it -- kids do sometimes drive us up the wall ok?? Haha* If I ever have a second kid, it would mainly be because I don't want her to be lonely.


Kate's been speaking alot- she's really chatty! Just the other day my dad asked her what she was doing in front of the computer and she replied him saying that she was busy! Every morning when she wakes up and if I'm doing the dishes or busy cleaning the house she will watch me. Some days when she's grouchy and whines for me to carry her, I always tell her to look around at how messy the place is. And I always add that I have to help her ah ma. One fine day when she came back from the coffeshop with my parents, she told them that the house was messy and that she will help ah ma to clean up. Sigh! It's times like that that I just feel so, so proud of my little gal.


And she always tell me that I'm a good gal whenever I take out my specs on her request which is so darn cute! She will go "Take out specs!" and I will. Which leads to "Yes! Good!" My little gal.
