ilyse is one month old! We did not hold any celebration this time for mei mei.  Reason being; she is small for her gestational age. Surely, there will be gossips flying here and there with all the flocking relatives and friends of inlaws' side. She definitely dislike that kind of scenario of pointing-fingers, one-kind-look and all. Well, anyway - we went to Por Por house instead since she has not visited ilyse at home; though once at the hospital. Ilyse received Red Packet from Por-Por, Yee-Yee and Yee-Yee's In-Law family. Mommy is a little taken by surprise on Yee-Yee (Her sister) inlaw's red packet because she did not hold any celebration & therefore no full month cakes was given to her. Anyway, she was grateful. Mommy promised ilyse to hold a grand party when she is one year old. We will look forward to that! 

As the title meant; my little sister was indeed kinda tiny... but we are seeing her growing day by day... she is getting all the fats from Mommy's breastmilk as well as the frozen stash. She is trying to stock up as much as she can for now on the milk. Target to stop breastmilk by 6 months but seems like, perhaps need to end a little earlier because Mommy is going back to work in the 4th month. I hope ilyse can share the same privilege as me. Mommy stop breastfeeding me @ 5months plus before going back to workforce.  Ilyse will be tanned-skin like Mommy. Aw..., Mommy wanted her to be like me, as fair as a tofu. But then, again this is all pre-destined. Well, tan-skinned also not bad. Most important is healthy.

Ever since I joined the new school, my phobia & dislike towards school are not as extreme anymore. I dunno if this had to do with the teachers or myself (meaning Im just full of excuses when it comes to "going to school')...  Sometimes, I will tell Mom - I like to go to school. However, the idea of going to school straight 5 days are not so fun indeed. So when comes to the 3rd or 4th day of school, I will start to fuss. Dunno why, I started to dread going to school at times. This breaks Mommy's heart very much. Hopefully I will grow out of it.  There are more activities in this school, not sure if it is because its 'semi-government' and thats why? This day, I brought back a balloon happily and couldnt bear to play with it, with fear that it will burst..

One fine morning, we were walking to school as usual. I started all my WHY-questions... Sometimes Mom just finds it hard to answer to ALL my questions. To those Moms out there, u know what I meant. Well, then we came to the topic of question-&-answer on wipers on the vehicle windscreens... Surprisingly, I describe how different the directions of the wipers are; on different vehicles like on cars, buses. Mom asked about bicycles, motorcycles, I told Mom -- There are NO wipers on them, Mommy. Only bus, car, lorry and truck. Dunno if Im so alert to notice on these, she is just taken by surprise on how well I know about the "wiper" wiping directions. Maybe as a toddler, its easier to remember things with one look or even a few more times. So we adults always have to be careful on our words in front of our little ones, and even actions.

In order to make me not to feel left out, Mommy had bought a gift for me on behalf of mei mei ilyse. Indeed, I feel so overjoyed at the Thomas The Train gift! I started to build the tracks and all and played non-stopped. On the other hand, Mom has some 'unfounded' worries. She sees that I am more indulged in playing than anything else as I grow older. This should be normal but she would like me to do more reading up, writing... etc. Isn't this every Mommy's wish? Well, a wish is always a wish. Keeping fingers crossed that; things will change (again) as I grow again. I will be in Kindergarten One by next year. Talk about tough being a parent, yes. Generations after generations; getting tougher, more challenging each time.

Of course, sleeping on our own bed is always better than any other bed, especially hospital bed.  Now, see how soundly my little sister sleeps on her own tiny cot. I am just sleeping right below; beside her on my own mattress. This little cot used to be own wholly by me. But now since I had grown out of it, I had passed down to my sister. Perhaps the next person would be my cousin; Yee Yee's baby. Else, this cot will be discarded or maybe sold to other needy person. Nowadays, there are people who rather get 2nd hand goods than new ones especially the items are costly. 

Mei mei is back home today. We are all delighted to know that she is able to maintain her body temperature, able to suckle well and free from photo therapy although she still has some jaundice. Time flies and it had been 3 weeks. Her bed was prepared last weekend; and Mom was so looking forward to it. All the late nights, pumping, feeding, burping, crying, bathing, etc. all will repeat itself again after a good 4 years plus.  I am scheduled for follow-up appointment in a week's time. And gonna see physio therapist the following week as well. Yes, am being put on course of physio therapy as well, home-based by Mommy. She was well-trained by the hospital therapist of course.
