haPPy 1st BirTHday, our Darling BOY!



seth1birthday-02

I've been neglecting the blog for months. That's really bad. I hope I am not neglecting Seth and Olive Tree too. :D I have been very involved in scrapbooking, doing up LOs and albums for gifts.

Seth's birthday celebration was held on 18th June 2006. We had the party at home and invited approximately 60 guests. We catered buffet. Olive Tree and I were so busy with decorating the house up with balloons, birthday banner etc. I was totally tired out as I went for an overnight crop at MWL and was busy decorating the goodie bags and complete the accordion album for Olive Tree (Father's Day's Gift). I went home at 5 plus in the morning on Saturday morning. Thereafter, we went gathering the last minute stuffs for Seth's party. The party started around noon and guests arrived. I was glad that the day went on smoothly. All the stuffs I planned for were in place. Only hiccups was the late arrival of the birthday cake! Olive Tree and I were apologetic that some guests have to go before we blow the candles for Seth. Nonetheless, rest of the things went on smoothly. I totally knocked out at 6 in the evening while nursing Seth to sleep. He didn't sleep for the whole day.

How time flies and it's already Seth's 1st Birthday! I was overwhelmed with work on 21st June. Work flooding and I manage to knock off only at 8 in the evening. I felt bad that I didn't manage to celebrate this special day with Seth. Let alone to reminisce the time when I give birth to him.

Throughout the 1 year with Seth, I have learnt and enjoyed so much. Olive Tree and I enjoyed parenting Seth. He learnt very quickly, he is so smiley, an easy baby too. It's really amazing that I have total breastfed him for 1 full year! What an accomplishment! *Pat on my shoulders* The experience I gained from being SAHM, parenting Seth and living as a family is invaluable to me. I treasured the moments too. There are time when I will loose my cool over Seth constant need to be nursed. Or he is grouchy to the limit. But still the enjoyment is greater. The Lord has grant us the patience with our child and also to our partner. Olive Tree is more open and share the loads of taking care of Seth. Also, I see the other side of Olive Tree, he sings, he dances, he coax and also adore Seth! I see the fatherly side of Olive Tree, totally heart warming.

"BB Seth, you have grown so much. Though it's just a year, but the difference it makes is great! You impact our lives greatly, you let us realize how unconditional love can be. Daddy and Mommy is very proud of you. We know that we will always provide the best for you. Though at times, we loose our patience with you but that's temporal and we'll soon be envelope with sunshine smile from you. Our darling boy, we wished you a very happy 1st birthday!"

Captured on the night when we had our very first dining experience at Top of the M . The occasion: celebrate Jon's Birthday. It's Seth very first experience, but obviously to him, it's just like any kind of dinner. As for me, I've to wait for 3 decades to be able to have such an experience! bwhaahhaha....what a funny thought. The restaurant has such a quiet ambience and at certain times, Seth was bubbling so loudly that we were so embarrassed. The waiters and waitresses were so nice to come over and play with Seth. One even offered chocolate truffles filled with mint ice cream for Seth! Too bad, my darling son don't know how to appreciate and those went into our tummies instead. (**,) You can see he enjoyed himself loads. Playing and being entertained. He was even entertained by the live strings group (or whatever you call that) with "You are my sunshine" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". That amazed him! We had a dinner set for 4 of us. Seth ...

Long Time No See/Hear

Yes, neglected the updates of Seth, what's going around at home, at work. Quite a fair bit has happened. Close friends would have known and I really thank God for faithful friends and sisters whom comforted and encouraged me during the time of trial. The episode starts off when I start falling sick frequently, worse came after March 18th, when I had a period of high for a week! That's terrible, felt aching, fever just simply to go away and not well to assume anything. Being out of office for a week proved to be disastrous I guess. Till date, I still have 322 mails not read in my mailbox! HA! The body has taken a toll, mentally, i am weak. Got to admit it, maybe the stress at work wasn't for me. I went back last week to complete outstanding tasks, (too many!!!!) and also trying to cope with so much requests from customers, traveling around, delivering documents. But I wasn't well yet, had diarrhea and vomit so nightly since last Wed till Friday. Boss, was picking on sma...

What have I been doing?

Yes, I've been really busy. How did all these started, the digi SB, the addiction, the hunger for more ideas and all this equivalent to more time spent in front of my lappy. (I shall give my lappy a name....Let's just call it MoS) How does it sound? Aiya, anyway, it's my lappy, how I wanna name it, my prerogative. BB Seth was doing CIO training for more than a week already. He is still crying in the nights, we kinda of give up letting him cry in the wee hours and I continue to give him 1-2 times feeds. SO much of crying, that his double eyelids for his left eye popped out already. Poor guy. The routine now is, he'll cry a bit till he dozed off at 9-9.30pm. So, we'll have free time to do what we need to. (chores seems to be the utmost priority) However, I've been such an addiction to the board and SB(Scrap-booking) , I didn't do much and poor Olive Tree got to do it. Anyway, I did sweeping and mopping yesterday and have contributed to the house chores. (**,)...
