~~~tHe KiDs ClInIc!!!~~~

A place where I frequent with Alethea. At least for the past 7 months or so. Yes yes that's where Alethea's paediatrician is. We went there again this morning for her 2nd pneumococcal jab. To most kids or even adults, going for jabs can be quite frightening but for Alethea, she's one brave little girl! No cries, no tears, no fear...just a little wimp and you'll find her smiling almost immediately right after it. I'm so proud of her lor.

While waiting for her turn, I just couldn't help but observe the kids there AND their parents too. I don't want to critisize too much but I must say that Alethea has been VERY well behaved so compared to many. One almost banged down the attire clinic. There's a chinese saying.....'Zi bu jiao, fu zi guo.' It means if the kid is rotten, its the parents' fault and I think both baby and I agreed on that too. Children are born innocent, it is really what they picked up from the surrounding and people they see everyday during their growing up phase that will mould them into what they are.

All I can say is...so far I think baby and I has been really really blessed. We are so lucky to have such an adorable child. Bringing her up hasn't been that tough a job so far really. Like what I always said to baby, Alethea only makes noise during 3 ocassions, hungry, sleepy or she needs her diaper changed. And maybe when she is hot too. Other then that she's one happy baby. I pray and I always pray for her to stay healthy and happy. It can be quite stressful when you start to become too protective. I wonder if I might end up hindering her growing process.

For some reasons, I somehow met some old friends by chance. Old as in really old lor. Easily more than 10yrs kind. Met a couple of them from my old work place. We used to work part-time together at this Peranakan Restaurant. They were more like my playmates then. Everyone has grown up now. Some, like myself got married. Time flies man!

Meeting my classmates from SHATEC on Monday for dinner. Haven't seen them for ages too. In fact I know them for exactly 10yrs now. Wowwwww...........

Work has been great. Getting busy but still can manage lor. I got a score card to feel in by July. My very own score card. Been busy with the planning of a major event. It is major in every sense of the word. The Gues-Of-Honour is really some big shot minister and it is going to cater to a massive crowd of 3000 or more. I guess the most challenging part of it all is working with the committee. I need to put up a good show and give my best shot. Not only becoz of the GOH, but more becoz all my bosses will be around. So I need to score for this one. I have wasted enough time from my previous jobs. So I really hope things get moving a little. Anyway, I have give myself some benchmark so let's see what happens.

My precious one is fast asleep now....she didn't sleep much today. Was playing most of the time. Now both baby and I are spending some quiet moments. I'm sleepy too....probably going to crash soon I think.

Yeah bb just reminded me. :P

She rocking our darling now while I'm typing this.

Met a couple of long lost friends today. Felt good catching up. We used to be rather close "playmates" then. We were working PT at this restaurant when we were students then. There were literally no worries. We spent what we earn and we had lots of fun together. Those were our carefree days! We've all grown up and things have changed quite a fair bit. Mainly we grown more matured now and taking on more responsiblities now. Gone are the carefree days. We no longer live for ourselves or be responsible only for our own actions. The commitment has changed. Some are still struggling to find their path in life. Some, like me choose to be contented with what I have.

Well, nevertheless, it was great catching up with the fellows. Probably meet up for dinner soon with more of the rest. Only the 3 of us managed to meet up today. Let's see if we could keep in touch.
