Alexis was down with a mild cough + running nose last week, thanks to me (Charles)..Thank goddness i was smart enough to wear a mask (covering my mouth..of course) @ home or when alexis was near me or else her MILD thing will turn into a SERIOUS one & i will surely NOT forgive myself.

I jumped out of bed @ around 2.30am in the morning when i heard alexis crying out loud in my mum's room. Yes, i was in shock but i managed to calm myself down in less than 5 sec (hey, i m a daddy now..i must be prepared for anything..). Slapped lian on her legs (to wake her up), then i rushed into my mum's room.

Picture this...

Alexis sitting on my mum's lap, vomiting her whatever milk she drank into a blue mini bucket, crying as she was vomiting..Her tears flowing free flow down her chubby cheek..FCK...my heart broke into a million pieces...wonder if u heard it broke from the place u r staying..

The funny thing was this...

She managed to smile at us (after all that puking)...maybe she do not want us to worry to much...

Every night before i close my eyes to sleep...i make it a habit to say a prayer to all the sick children in the world, different colours, different races..May they recover asap..May they stay strong always...join me in saying a prayer for them...it would not take too much of your time..who knows, maybe someone out there, in the other part of the world is saying a prayer for your child to stay healthy & happy always (get the idea?)

Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever...Don't give up, child....everything is going be ok !!

Going Back to Work...As a New Mom

(Read this article from the net, found it quite meaningful)

Back at work, already? If you are like most new mothers, you may experience conflicting feelings about returning to work. It may be difficult to leave your new little one, but you might secretly look forward to uninterrupted lunches and bathroom breaks.

You may also find that you don’t care as much about the work you do, whereas you were deeply committed before you had your baby. This is common in the beginning, but over time your interest will most likely return.

You might worry that your baby will miss you while you are at work or not remember you when you return home after a long day. Rest assured, for the first 6 months, babies don’t know that people or objects exist outside their line of sight. So chances are your baby won’t be distressed when you are somewhere else. However, you can feel secure that your baby knows exactly who you are – she recognized your voice at birth and studied your face for hours on end and she will show her excitement when you come through the door at the end of the day.

Be prepared that your boss and co-workers (Some..not all) will probably not be thinking about your baby all day long like you are. They may not ask about your little bundle and might even forget that you are going through a life-changing experience. They will not realize that you’re a different person and will probably expect the same level of work from you as they did before your “vacation.”

Some women forget themselves that they are changed and expect the 200% effort at work that they gave before the baby. Chances are they are still operating at 100% – which is invariably good enough for most bosses and clients.

My advice is to ask yourself if anyone (besides you) is complaining about your work. If not, try letting it go and save the other 100% for your family.


To all working mothers..I, Ic number S89xxxxxx, Charles Eng salute u !

Millions of thing to update by Lilian

Hi all,

Finally I found some time to update our blog, most of the time is updated by Charles. I have many things to update. Being a mother is really very very busy. Right Yi? This will be going to be a very long blog.

Maid Issue - Busy training maids again & again till I am so tired.
1st maid - 2 months (Good at housework but don't know how to take care of Baby. When I interview her, she mention that she knows how to take care of Baby but when Alexis is born, she panick when taking care of her)

2nd Maid - 3 weeks (keep asking me if she can call home, she called home almost twice a week. In the end she miss home & wanted to go back to philipines so i send her back to agent. After 2 weeks, her dad had no money to pay for her loan & she had to find another employer. She wanted to work for me again but I am not willing to take her anymore. Who knows later when I start work and she say she wanna go back to her country again. Then my head will be even bigger that time.

3rd maid - 1 week ( Worst!!! Alexis is playing alone in her cot & the maid is hiding in one corner sleeping when I am at home. See, how daring is she!! She have not even wake up for night feed & yet she is so tired. within 1 week, i caught her sleeping twice. She can eat many many meals a day. She had no manners at all, after dinner she can just leave her plate in the basin & watch tv. Amazing right?)

4th maid - this time she is from indonesia. ( She is a fast learner & Alexis likes her alot..) Finally I can rest well at night....

Nail cutting experience for baby Alexis

How to cut screaming 2-7-month-old's nails?

Screaming? who's screaming?!

Alexis is enjoying her spa treatment from her very professional 'Never Had Any Baby Cutting Nails Training B4' Mummy



Below are a few 'CRAPPY' tips which i found on the net,these were shared by a group of ang mohs who formed a secret society called something something Parents Network.

I always cut her fingernails and toenails when she's asleep. :-) Holly

- Ass..learn from the PROs la, holly..Was my baby asleep when my wife was triming her nails for her? N O !!

- Holly, u can do many things with yr hubby or the postman or the pizza delivery boy when yr baby is asleep..

I bite my daughter's nails.

- I guess after bite-ting,u chew, add some salt or maybe sugar b4 u gulp the whole damn thing down? Yummy, rgt?

Gulp - To swallow greedily or rapidly in large amounts

"isn't she cute..?"



Here is my tips for u.

Do what u feel is right for u & baby, do not trust too much on the info u find on the net, more then 50% of them are all CRAP.
