1st night without Kion by my side....

Kion is finally sleeping herself tonight, in her own room, on her new bed. Yes, new bed again =p I know, this is the 3rd bed we had bought her since we shifted into this place less than 3 yrs ago but this time round, she was the one who made the request. All these while, we had tried, but mayb didnt try hard enough, to make her sleep herself in her own room... We tried buying kiddy furnitures, painting her room in her favourite shades of purple, pink & white strips, but each time she refuses to sleep herself, we would always bring her back to our bed to sleep with me while poor daddy gets to sleep on the mattress below the bed =p I think it was last monday, while we were having breakfast when she suddenly said: Mummy, can I have my own bed? I would like to sleep in my own room myself. I was shocked, but of cos, she made me promise that we would buy her a loft bed, so that she can play 'high-tea' party below her bed. As usual, the doting daddy, couldnt wait to find his daughter her 'princess bed'. So the very next day, our search began... It started at Flexa, although we really like the bed there, they didnt had stock till April. Next we went to Casa Kiddy, but daddy didnt like the beds there so our last stop was Picolo. Found the perfect bed there but without accessories, so off we went back to Flexa, to get all the curtains, bed pockets etc. The bed arrived this mornign & we managed to get everything done up b4 Kion came back from school, to give her a surprise =) She was indeed very happy when she saw her dream bed & I even allowed her to skip her nap for today, thinking it would help her fall asleep easier tonight. Hiaz, skipping nap certainly didnt work. I was with her in her room for more than 1hr b4 I finally gave in & told her I would sleep in her room with her for tonight, to make her feel more secure, b4 she finally fall asleep. Now, i have the speaker on, in case she looks for me in the middle of the night, & of cos, I had a mattress standby in her room, for who else? me of cos, if she cries for me tonight =p

Brand New Year, brand New Start! Happy 2013!!!

Today is the 1st day of 2013 & so, am wishing all my friends a Happy New year! :) 2012 was great, I had all my beloved family members & friends with me, showering me with love & care, got pregnant with baby in my tummy, yes, I'm now 6mths pregnant! And I even got to spend more time with my Bil's family cos they decided to re I ate their place & need a temp place to sleep. I'm happy that Kelvin & I got into the same decision of inviting them over cos not only did we get to know each other better, Kion got to play with her cousins & built a stronger relationship with them. Of cos, there were also some sad events in 2012, Xuel's bro passed away on Xmas eve & I think it must have been a big blow to her... I don't know what to say to her cos all consoling words sound like bullshit when u r the hurt victim. I just hope that she can stand up soon as life has to go on, may 2013 b good for her & family.... Life has been rather kind to me, Kion is still a very good girl in the eyes of her mummy :) & I'm really hoping her brother will come out to b as easy to manage as her. Oh & recently she had been doing not too bad in her piano so Teacher Christine said will try grooming her to see if she has a chance to play in the carnegie hall in the US in Nov 2013. I am of cos delighted cos if she is able to, I think she would b very proud of herself when she grows up & knows about it. Of cos. my little cutie pie doesn't know what's playing in the Carnegie hall means now. Relationship with Kelvin is so far so good, he's still the same, not romantic & doesn't gives surprises, but I guess that's not really important as long as I knows that his heart is with me :) And I had made him promise to brg me for a getaway without the kids when Kion is 6yrs old & Jake, the name Kion choose for her baby brother, is 1yr. I was rather surprise when Kelvin said "Maldives", I shall brg u to "Maldives" for our getaway. Now I just hope he keeps his promise, it has been yrs okok,only about 4yrs, since we last travelled just the 2 of us, but I really miss that feeling, not that I don't love my kids, but I wanna feel like dating again :p Women, like what the men says, r really hard to guess creatures! :)
