Thank you.

After clarifying myself I feel so much at ease. I am also delighted to know that some of you actually understands me. Anyways I am not very affected by those comments so don't worry about me. It feels great to know that there are still many of you that cares for me. Thank you!

I don't like my Sony Erisson phone, the photo image is not very clear. Sigh, lost my Casio X slim charger, so I cannot use my camera. Hope I can find it soon!

My super active baby loves her mashed porridge when mixed with Heinz baby food. I tried preparing steam spinach and mash it into liquid form to feed her together with porridge. Apparently she loves her greens but my parents and brother kept telling me to keep her 1st food as simple as possible. They advise me to start with plain porridge until she turns 6 months. They don't even allow me to feed her with carrot saying that it is bad for her skin. Therefore I switched to giving her plain porridge and add Heinz baby food to entice her. Lucky they didn't comment on the Heinz baby food, if not I don't know what to do next. Sometimes when everyone starts providing you with suggestions I get information overload! Of course I know they mean well and out of concern for my baby. Just have to recollect informations and be my own judge.

Once again I thank you for standing up for me when I get negativity from others. Appreciate it!

To readers

At first I thought I should just leave what ever comments on me aside. But since this is my blog, I wanted to clarify on a few things. It was only recently that I feel that I got my life back ever since I started work. If I didn't take up the job offer and carry on being a stay at home mother, I think all I will blog about is how depress I am. If you said that you have been following my blog you should have recalled me ranting frequently about how I deem worthless of myself, how bored my life was and how I have changed. I am trying very hard to strike a balance life so that I can be more emotionally stable. I do not want to be a resentful mother or an angry wife and I know that I will become one if I am still a stay at home mother.

When everyone that left comments on my blog says that I am a show off, that you are sick of hearing it over and over again on how wealthy I am, I did a search back on my numerous posts. I think I got happier only recently, and before April 2008 I was full of resent. I didn't even post anything that might make anyone feel "inadequate". Back then people gave me encouragement, tell me to be happy, tell me to choose a path that will let me gain back confidence in life. Tell me to let go and trust my maid, tell me to relax and let the maid do all the changing and feeding.

When I finally learn to trust and let go (which took me months) and seeking a happier less resentful life, I got all those crude remarks about me being insensitive to others who doesn't have TWO maids and that I am a hypocrite to choose work in the end. I do not employ TWO maids to look after Natalie. Why did you have to distort my meaning? Did I ever say that I am a very good and responsible mother because I left my 5 months old daughter to TWO strangers at home with no one else to supervise them???? Do you know how each and every single day of my life when I step out of my house to leave for work not feeling worried and guilty that I can't be Natalie's caregiver? I felt lousy why I cannot be happy just being a stay at home mothers.

Doesn't mean that by providing that to a child/baby, it means that the parent is doing a good job! My life does not have any protocol or guideline, why compare yours to mine and feel unbalance about your own? Everyone should live at their own means, you kept saying that you are not jealous about me, but come on isn't that obvious you are. Though you do not want to reveal who you are even though you said you are my friend, I conclude you have not been contacting me for a very long time. If not you won't have left those comments on my blog. By the way, the initial maid that I have is engaged by my father even before I got pregnant. She is not employed under me and she has to do all the household chores including cooking for the whole family of 8 everyday. I had to get a maid myself to look after my precious Natalie because Natalie is my own responsibility. If you still are my friend, you would have know this fact and not make accusation that I am making you feel that you are not a good parent as you cannot afford 2 maids. Parents love can never be replaced by the number of maids you have to care for you baby, so keep that fact right. I only mentioned about having 2 maids twice in my blog.

I do enjoy the finest thing in life, if I can afford it I will work hard to achieve my goals. I didn't steal, I didn't beg and I didn't use my parents money to spurge on branded goods. Jeff and I spend within our means, only recently that he got me a Chanel bag, you guys have to critise me for being a show off. Which woman will not be happy to receive a Chanel and show it to the world. If you have a Chanel, I bet my last penny you will blog about it! And I will congratulate you instead of saying that you are a show off.

People are starting to get very personal whenever they read blogs, HELLOOOOO it is just someone else blog, and someone else life. Don't read in between the lines and start making assumptions and accusations. Come on, someone even said that I should be more "automatic and consider others feelings" when I blog. Should I really do that? You come in to my blog frequently to peep at my lifestyle and then blame me for being insensitive to others that might be living an inferior life compared to mine? You said I am showing off to my friends, please what kind of friends are you talking about? They aren't my friends if they think like you.

By the way there are more unfortunate people around, look at the Asia Twin Tragedy, how many people died, how many children turned into orphans, how many parents became childless and how many turned widows. We should all count ourselves lucky that we are still alive and that all our loved ones are with us.

So, with the context of the Asia Twin Tragedy, should we be sensitive of what we blog? If we should like you wanted to, we should all close down our blog as we shouldn't be showing off that we are still alive.

People shouldn't blog about their happy relationship with their boyfriends, husbands as they will be seen as being insensitive towards those that are still single or having failed relationships. Big boobs bloggers shouldn't keep wearing low cut and post their revealing photos in their blogs as that will make all the flat chested women feel "inadequate". Those with children or babies shouldn't blog about them as that will make childless marriage couples angry and deem as being show off.

TELL ME WHAT CAN ANYONE BLOG ABOUT? Talk to me about being Sensitive, it is close to mission impossible!

Natalie is 5 months old

Sometimes when I see myself in the mirror I will ask :YUCKS who is this fat and ugly woman! I am still not back to my pre-pregnancy figure and many people say it is the easiest to slim down within the 4th month after child birth. Look at me, sigh it's pass 5 months already and I still cannot fit into my Levis... sad sad, just recently I went to Giordano to get a pair of size 30 Jeans so that I can wear denim once again. My tummy is still very swollen, Jeff says I need to start doing some sit ups to firm up the flabs. My mum tells me if I had gone through natural labour my tummy would have gone down by now, she said majority of the women that undergone c-section will have difficulties getting rid of the tummy. Sigh, how true.

Time flies, my Natalie is 5 months old! I have start weaning her, with soft porridge once a day when I got back home in the evening. At 1st she doesn't know what to expect and didn't take it well. After weaning her for a week plus, today she finished the whole portion of porridge I have prepared for her. She now knows when the spoon is near her mouth, she will open her mouth to allow the spoon in. I love feeding my baby, seeing her every expression is priceless.

5 months old already!
Little Natalie with cousin Reese playing on the rubber mat.

This was the 1st few encounter with food.

Who else but babies that can still look so adorable with food stains all over their mouth?

Natalie laying on my bed and trying to hold her milk bottle. That was a very good attempt but still requires more practice.


Playful little baby. :p I love to see her smile.

Now I can fully understand why parents can keep talking about their baby and not get sick of it. I can play Natalie's video over and over again and still able to laugh at her funny actions. Few days ago Jeff suddenly say that we should plan to get Natalie a playmate... he said we should have at least 2 children. Oh gosh, just 5 months ago I went through a tough labour and now we are back at this topic again. Not that soon, at least few years from now when Natalie is big enough and when I am ready again. But my clock is ticking, if I really want another child I have to plan to have it before me turning 35 years old.

My Super Cute Natalie

My Natalie loves her tummy time, playing with toys that I bought for her to keep her occuppied. I even bought the whole complete set of "My Baby Can Read" vcds to let her pass time in the long boring afternoon. Tought my maid how to operate the tv and dvd player, luckily she is a fast learner and she told me she had played one of the disc for Natalie this afternoon. Good job, my maid has been doing very well so far and I appreciated her every effort in taking care of my Natalie. Just by saying I appreciate their effort is far from enough so I helped out by sending a few hundreds dollars back to her home town as her 4 kids need money for school. She said she wanted it to be pro rated from her salary, but I told her I am not going to deduct from her pay and that it's my way of showing appreciation of taking care of NAT so well.

Last Sunday Jeff and I took both maids out to Vivo City to let them have their well deserved R&R time. I handed them my camera and they went wild taking photos of themselves, I am glad that they were enjoying and having fun that day.

My Natalie's care giver during the day, Ms Rita from Philippines. She is 35 years old and a mother of 4 and her youngest child is already 8 years old. She is the only sole bread winner for her family as her husband is not very trust worthy. She told me that her husband spent away all her hard earned money that was meant for her children.

This is Suleni, from Indonesia and she is only 23 years old. Though she is very young, she is able to cook chinese food very well. Her favourite pass time is to watch Korean drama at night.

Look, they love to act cute too.


Regardless of race and religion and which country one is from, everyone knows the PEACE sigh while taking photos.

Natalie is a very fortunate baby, with 2 play mates to keep her company at home.

Mummy Noelle and Baby Natalie, she prefers sucking her hands that looking at the camera.

Oh she is hungry, fatherly Jeff feeding his precious daughter to her bottle of milk.

After we got home, Natalie was still full of energy (cos she slept many times during shopping and while in the car). She felt so relax and secure in her own bedroom and was smiling so happily. Suddenly I caught her in 'action' and immediately recorded her crime! Now I have gotten hold of this evidence and will used it against her when she grows up! hahaha

Do watch this video clip, she is very hilarious. I really have NO completely NO idea where she learnt this from. Trust me, I asked around and no one admitted to teaching her this action. The video is a short 50 seconds, hope it is able to brighten up your day after seeing this innocent clip. Enjoy!

My Push Present

Thank you for your suggestions on what I should get. I only read them after I got my push present. In fact I really like the idea of craving Natalie's name and make it into a gold pendent. Went out to Takashimaya on Saturday evening and guess what, I saw a long queue outside Louis Vitton, kind of puts me off alittle. I was thinking to myself why should they make people queue when they are going to spend thousands over dollars for their merchandise? Jeff wasn't complaining and automatically join in the queue. I gave him the "look" and pulled his hands over to the other boutique opposite LV. Kekekeke, it's CHANEL!

Jeff was actually praying silently that I didn't choose the big C as it is going to cost him double the amount of what he had actually set out for my PP. Just not his lucky day, I had wanted a Big C for quite sometime and this is my best chance to get one without causing casualty to my own bank account. I must say I got really good service from Chanel, this young lady showed me many of their bags patiently and even suggested to me which one suits me better. She is witty and humorous too when Jeff cracked some jokes to make this shopping experience a better one for his pocket. Finally I made up my mind and got my Chanel, a good size and a great design that allows me to carry it from Mondays to Sundays.

A very happy wife and a proud husband with a bleeding wallet.





Not forgetting my greatest gift of all, Natalie Yeo. Thank you for coming to this world to be my daughter! I love you so much.

Push Present

Being the new age sensitive man of the century, Jeffrey wants to get me a push present. And being an understanding wife (trying to be one) I am trying very hard not to get something too expensive thatwill create a major burn in his bank account. Now the tricky part is, what should I ask from him?

Any suggestions from shopping queens? What would you want for a Push Present?

Sick on a Foreign Land

Being alone in a foreign land and worst of all very sick is not any laughing matter. I was like a walking zombie during the past 4 days away from home. I got very sick, anonymous to where I have gotten the flu bug, it was with me for the whole week. Even now, concurrently coughing while I typed out this post. As I have mentioned in my previous entry, I used to like traveling for overseas assignments until recently. This time it was a very unpleasant experience as I was practically enduring and pushing my physic to the max. I even had to travel alone to somewhere outside my hotel room to get my sickly body to see a doctor (for the 2nd time). Oh boy I really missed home badly. To make the whole experience even worst, the clinic staff told me to wait for 30 minutes as the doctor was busy with her studies! I was the only patient then in the clinic and still I have to wait for such a long time.

Anyway I am just glad that I am home!

Sick me but still manage to self fame for a short moment.

My room service order, chicken porridge. The verdict for it, tasteless...

My medications, those were just part of it.

Me all alone and sick in this room.
