4 adults & a baby + grousings

Friday, August 05, 2005

Damn tired. Woke up at 3.30am yesterday to use the loo and ended up sleepless all the way to 5am. I wonder why. But the fact that yesterday was the first day of the lunar 7th mth did create some uneasiness in my heart. Heh, so old liao, still scared.


Actually when I was young, I was a brave young kid. I was fearless. A night owl since young, when I cant get to sleep, I would walk around the living room alone in the dark. Till dad started renting horror videos. After watching all the ghostly stories on videos, I became a hum gia. I dun even dare go toilet alone at night without switching on the lights.


That aside.


Office server has been experiencing some problems for the week. No emails, no internet, no messenger for one freaking week. Thank god I was on mc for 2 days. Anyway, I think my company damn kuku. Where on earth got company server down for one week one?? How are we going to work efficiently like that?


Even when I call vendors I also pai say to tell them that our server is down for the bloody week. Even the IT manager says he cant do anything. So we can only sit and wait and pray that our emails will work. Kauz.


That aside.


Had actually wanted to blog about the past weekend.


U know, it really aint easy being a mommy, taking care of a baby.


Last sat sis left baby ace at our place for an afternoon. And it took 4 adults, momo, dad, me and grandma (total ages adding to 200+) to take care of the infant.


We wanted to let the baby sleep, but he wouldn���t. Maybe he misses his mama���s smell. Maybe he finds our house unfamiliar. He simply wont sleep. I say: momo bed too smelly lahz. Haha.


I was taking a nap on momo bed and momo rested him beside me, thinking that I can help keep an eye on the baby while I sleep. But he only slept not longer than 20 mins and started crying. And being the loving ah yee that I am, I have to talk to him, sayang him until momo came to carry him away and I continue my sleep. Then, after he fell asleep in momo arms, she lay him down beside me again. And again, he slept for not longer than 20 mins and started crying again. This happens 3 times. The 3rd time, I bey tahan I told him: diam ah. But I think baby ace is too young to understand hokkien.


Then it was passing baton session. First momo carried him, then grandma carried him, then dad carried him, till we settle him down in the pram. But that���s not the end, we have to rock the pram thru and fro to stop him from crying, and keep talking to him.


Phew, really not easy man. And momo keep asking me to sms sis to ask her to come home early. Haha.


By the end of the day, I got a headache.


Then the next day got fever.


I think I am not the nanny type. But I think baby ace likes me. Cause every time I carry him or talk to him, he will smile at me. Hee.
