Since bb and maid wasn’t around. I’ve to be temp maid at the moment for my BIG baby at home. My days after work has been filled with some minor house whole chores like folding the cloths, tidying and washing some dishes.

Well, I feel like I am back to before pregnancy stage where life was full of freedom. On another hand, I am much tired without bb around. I tend to sleep late and there are endless things awaiting me to complete.

Hubby and I had started our CNY shopping; we even managed to have a hot date last night, catching “Memoirs of a geisha”. It was a very beautifully choreograph movie, I really like it.

I will be fetching bb tonight. Miss him so much.

I have sent bb to mum’s place in P.Klang as my in laws has gone to Australia. He was having running nose and a little sore throat on Monday. He clang on to me like koala, knowing that I was gonna leave him there, he showed manja faces. He made crying like sound as well. So cute!

Mom brought him to see doc the next morning. He feels much better and can eat well now.

Just gave him a call.

Mommy: Bb, how are you? Have you been a good boy?

Bb: bla bla bla blab la…….mommy…….. bla bla ….

Mommy: Have you taken your Lunch?

Bb: ijen…..bla blab la……………mum… mum……………..

Mommy: mommy loves you and misses you darling.

Bb: mizz…..bla bla blab la bla………………….

Mommy: Did you take your medicine?

Bb: ———————–um um

Bb: ————————No! blab la bla……

Mommy: okay darling, call kakak, call kakak, mommy wants to speak to kakak.

Bb: …..bla bla bla bl………bye……………..

Good, at least I know he is healthy and active. :)

Some pictures from last evening’s exhibition. I used my hand phone to capture some of the paintings. I noticed my boss likes to collect some motherly theme. Here are some of them:

It was an honour to speak to the CEO of MIA, Mr.Choong Kam Kow.To my surprise, he is such a nice and humble man to talk to. He shared with me how inspiration was derived for his dragon painting. It took him one year to complete this painting. According to him, even we live in the 21st century, high tech modern days, we still refer back to our own culture for advice, it’s in us, it’s part of our lives without us realizing it.

A question: Do you think art is only for the rich and famous? Does it mean that the poor can’t appreciate art? What do you think?

I had a nightmare last Friday evening. I was supposed to go Pasar Malam with mil, bb and maids but since I had a disagreement with hubby and wanted to talk it out so mil, bb and maids went off first.

After my heated discussion with hubby, I stormed off to the pasar malam to buy some grocery for weekend. Still angry, while walking I bumped into mil. She was all nerves, I asked her what happened. She said two maids and bb were missing, she asked them to wait in front of the keropok stall while she grabbed some Assam Laksa and when she turned back they were gone. Worried sick, I called for them and also asked the keropok’s stall lady boss. All said no sign of two maids and bb.

I walked up to the long and narrow road of the busy pasar malam, looking around anxiously. I almost burst into tears when I don’t see them. The road was so busy, but my heart just dropped and everything seems so giddy right in front of me. I was so fretful; my mind started playing tricks on me. “What if bb got kidnapped by the maid”, “What if they took him away and I never see him again.” “bb, where are you?” “bb please, where are you” , “God, please help me to find bb”. I was like a mad lady walking about frowning.

A girl approached me, “Would you like to do some charity for the less fortunate?”. I was thinking, “Okay GOD, please help me to find my son”. Right after taking out RM10, hubby called, informed that maids and bb was home safely. Phew!!! I was relief instantly. Still trembling a little, I handed over my RM10 to the lady in exchange for a cheap looking tooth brush. What an expensive tooth brush. No complaint, it was for charity.

Apparently, it was a misunderstanding; maids thought mil asked them to bring bb home first.

To BB…
A misunderstanding really made mommy’s heart-broken. But Thank GOD, you were okay.

Mil and myself
Promised each other, either one of us has to carry bb when we go to the pasar malam, not the maid.
