Nothing big happened recently. Just some teeny weeny details here and there to share about. Well, here goes.....
1. Big big congrats to CPK and Agnes for the good news. These 2 mothers-to-be happened to give me the good news at the same time. I'm so so very happy for them. Because being a parent myself, I know how magical, happy and valuable it is to have your own flesh and blood. Heartiest congratulations to the both of them. As both of them has a caring and loving husband, I can be rest assured that they will be well taken care of! ;)
2. I started to be aggressive again in job hunting. Sent out more than 10 applications already but so far only received 2 invitations for interview. I turned down the first one which was an event agency in charge of organizing beauty pageants. Event jobs are fun! But being me, I just want to make sure my next job is worth leaving MTC for. Apart from the salary, I'm also looking at the benefits the company is offering. With children, you need to think of them too. This event company can't gave me what I wanted, so, I dropped it off. The other one was with The Society of Petroleum Engineers, located in Centrepoint South Mid Valley City. This non-profit organization is worldwide, apparently. They are looking for event coordinator and the JD they required matches mine. Off I went for the interview yesterday. The HR Manager took 1 hour to question me. From 1 question, he can actually create another 4 or 5 questions out of that question. I answered until my mouth also dried but I managed to answer everything nicely and I guessed I left quite a good impression for him. But there could be other candidates that are better than me. We'll just have to see. Btw, the benefits that this company offers are not bad. For example, medical benefits, they gave RM3000 limit per year where else in MTC only RM1800 for married employees with children. Of course, there are pros and cons, like the stupid traffic jam and expensive food if you are to work in the Mid Valley City.
3. Grandma (mum's side) is not doing very well. I guess she will leave us soon. I already lost my beloved grandma (father's side) last year and I can't imagine losing another one this year. Humans live and die. It's just the matter when, where or how. God will take care of this cycle. Mum has been going to see her frequently on and off whenever she has a break from babysitting. When I see her, I see a reflection of myself. I know this day will come but before that I wanna make sure I'm doing everything a daughter should do. I value both my parents a lot. Mum and dad, love you guys!
4. As I grow older, I realize time pass by faster. And I realize moments will never return no matter good or bad. Take a look at my boy. He is growing and he ain't the baby he used to be. I missed those moments cradling him in my arms, when...Oh God...I can't even carry him now. All this makes me value things even more. My current marriage to daddy, this new family, my parents and friends. I can't be more thankful to God for all these. Every morning, when I was about to leave for work, I'll give the boys a peek on their cheek or forehead if they are awake at that time. Sometimes when I am in a rush, I really have no time for the kiss but I don't want myself to miss the moment or to regret not showing them how much I love them if anything happens. Thinking of that, I'll quickly drop them a kiss. Not to say bad things will happen most of the time but life is just so unpredictable. In short, I just value things much much more now.
5. Lunz is getting much more mischievous now. Sometimes when you hear him speak, you will wonder where did he learn those words from? For example, a picture of a sunglasses, daddy told him, this is "ngan gieng" (in cantonese). The boy corrected him and said, "No...this is sunglasses." Also when it was time for the "teapot" song during bedtime, he once said something that made me laughed out real hard. The last sentence of the song sounds like this:
"Tip me over and pour me out" (Me pretending as a teapot and him as a cup)
So, when I tilted my hand on to his hand (because he is the cup), he asked me, "Coffee or tea?"
I was like....how on earth does he knows what a coffee and tea is? And when he contracted chickenpox, I just told him he has polka dots and can't go to school. When I told him it's time for him to get back to school since he has recovered, he showed me the chickenpox healing marks on his body and said, "Look! Still got chickenpox!" Ermm....I thought I never mentioned the word chickenpox to him earlier? Also, he is now very much into computer games. Daddy downloaded Toy Story 3 game for him recently and everyday he will ask his daddy to play for him to see. It's like watching a movie. Daddy said he can even memorize the game already. When his daddy was too busy to entertain him, I took over the job instead. Of course, it ended up Buzz Lightyear or Woody always DIED! The boy will tap my shoulder and said, "It's ok Mummy", comforting me on my poor skills in playing computer games. But if I managed to pass a level, he will said, "Good job Mummy!"
Ish Ish......and by the way, he calls me Mummy now. He used to call me Mimi instead. But recently, he finds that Mimi is the same pronunciation as the mee mee (noodle). Therefore, he switched to call me Mummy instead.
I will be getting my studio photos soon, by next month. Can't wait!
