I am 5 months old today !! (31032010

"Peak-a-boo"

Alexis's 5-month-old's development check list.

1) Strong enough to feed herself - she may be able to hold her own bottle now then again, why feed herself when she got helper doing it for her...hehe..

2) Repeating her favorite sounds - her current favorite is making bubbles.

3) Able to see small objects and subtle colors - yes...

4) Easily distractible now - When your baby starts fussing at the supermarket this month, you may be able to distract her for a short time. - SURE..no problem...

5) A growing range of emotions - She may also give you hugs and kisses. - all the time.

For many parents, this is when the fun begins. You'll find yourself regressing back to childhood as you make silly faces and nonsense sounds - i am still a kid myself..lets grow old together,alexis..

UNBORN BABY GRABS SURGEON‏...

Please read before viewing picture - it's well worth it! To think they question if life exists as early as 21 weeks!!!!

A picture began circulating in November. It should be 'The Picture of the Year,' or perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.' It won't be.. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on
Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed Hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment in his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity The editors titled the picture, 'Hand of Hope.'

The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.'

Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days' when they saw the picture. She said, 'The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person.'Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 % successful.

Now see the actual picture. It is awesome....incredible !!



God bless...

"What u looking at ?!"





My darlings..both big & small..Love u ladies always...

Thinking..Thinking..

Hi all, how are things with u?

What happened to me (Charles) ? where did i go? well...

(1) I surviveD the super long 4 days of Pc show with my fellow mates (they were wonderful..didn't think i could pull it thru without them around me, esp my 'nagging' boss..nAg Nag naG..hehe..)

(2) I Went thru a "forgettable" (wanted to say meanless..but then again..) interview (special thanks to my mentor who prepared me the night b4..thank u...)

(3) I will always be grateful to my 'Nagging' boss..for giving me a chance to perform at work..NOT singing, but let me perform my duties well (in peace)..My boss was always there for me whenever i needed help..i shall not name her, NO,she is NOT Jack Neo...many things to say..but i guess i shall keep it to myself..

(4) I got news from my cousin, Randy on sunday night (14/03/2010) @ abt 8pm..my nephew (whom i shall named her mei mei) was admitted to KK hospital..oh shyt, my heart sank..i was in a middle of the pc show (working), together 'brain-dead-ing' with the rest of my mates..1 more hour to go b4 this whole damn thing closes down...my body was there but my mind & heart was with mei mei..All i can hear was mumbling, nosies from the people i was attending too..Then again, i was a professional sales person with super good customer service skills to pull thru that 1 - 2 hours..I can do it..& i did it...

Mei mei meant alot to me, she was 1 of the reason why i love kids so much..dun asked me what she was down with, i couldn't care to find out..i just want her to be ok & discharged asap...

On 15/03, i went down KK hospital to visit her, omg ! that hospital make me feels like i m in a BIG community centre with so many people walking here & there..but then again, it was only the 1st floor, things got better for me when i reached the 8th floor..Keane (mei mei brother) was there to greet me..together with him + the $8 balloon, we walked into the ward..

I pray & hope i will not see what i do not to see...

I was wrong, the moment i stepped into the 4 bedded ward, a small baby, whom i guess was about 1-2 months old, was laying face down on its tummy, sleeping soundly..(Later i got to find out the baby was suffering a fever). The rest of the beds around me was covered with curtains, i can hear young children crying softly in pain..

Wtf, what have they done to deserve this?

YOU ! Up there..can u hear me or them ? Can u feel them? Can u feel their pain? I love u so please love them too...

Finally i reached mei mei bed..that poor little thing, looking so weak with rubber tubes inserted in her left hand..she was doing her colouring book..i presented her the balloon..she loved it...

I didn't know what to say or do, i just wana hug her & let her know, we r all here for her.. i was afraid my tears would drop b4 i could even speak...

I end up colouring the book with her..

I was feeling so weak..helpless..Alexis was on my mind..How would me & lian response if we were thrown in a similar situation..will we be ever ready?

Me & keane went back down to the 1st floor to get mei mei another $8 'high school musical' balloon..however this time round she was sound asleep when i went back up, so i tied the 2 balloons to the bed railing next to her, so that the ballons would be the 1st thing she see when she wake up...i kissed her forehead & left the community centre (KK) with my mother + grandmother..

'What is life?', i asked myself..is it all about work, working non stop? Am i spending more time at my work place then at home? Only to blame myself when things happened,blaming myself y didn't i spend more time with my family, cousins..

Yes, i was feeling Fcked up...Am i suppose to find a job that pay less but i can spend more time with my family?

Sorry if i bored u to death with my blog but u would know what i felt (meant) if u r a parent yourself...everything is gona b alright..everything is gona b alright..

God bless..

Ps: mei mei was discharged from KK on 16/03/2010 (Tues), the doctor still cannot find what is wrong with her (if i remember correctly)..what amateur(s)...
