My youngest brother, Edwin and her girlfriend, Jesicca is on holiday to Jakarta (they both went into college in Bandung), but Jesicca lives in Bandung, the last time when she saw bryan was 3 months ago, bryan still can't recognize people or pick certain people to hold him, but come to surprise my little precious is want to be hold with her in first try!when she's trying to transfer bryan to me, this little precious still wanted to be hold with jesicca! he's even smile, laughing and blink-blink his eyes with her! wow! daddy said that bryan is so "genit", knowing that there's a pretty girl held him and tried to attract her attention! too bad that bryan's face in picture was so serious since the camera blitz is very bright ;)

2. put a chicken inside until it tender, rinse, take out bones and chop chicken meat until small pieces
3. chop and boil asparagus separated about 3-5 minutes,make sure that it's not overcooked!!
3. cut all the mushroom into small pieces and put it all in water
4. put a carrot and asparagus
5. add fish soy sauce,black soy sauce,pepper and salt

Back to work?

I've got a nice job offer in one of company that I've been dreaming off to work there when I'm still single, one of my ex-client from that company contact me last week and asked my resume,the next day they're calling for an interview, I thought..not bad to give it shot, after all maybe I'm not the one they're searching for.

After lots of IQ test,4 interviews phase (HRD-USER-MANAGING DIRECTOR-HRD) they're offer me a position that I've been dreaming off, a good facilities and nice digit of salary (very nice), after discuss it with jaya, I've decided to put down that offer, I can't go back to work at this moment... and the only reason why I can't take that offer is because of my precious son, he needs my full attention and affection even I have "suster" to help me around still I can't go to work while half of my heart thinking about bryan all day long, it's part of myself commitment after marriage.... to raise and educate my son first, let say if I'm selfish and take that offer, bryan will raise and educate by his nanny,which for sure is far from my expectation. I've seen and heard lots story about kids who cry looking for their nanny when their nanny go back to their village and the mother can't stop their kids from crying, nanny who abandon kids while they busy to chit chat on phone,nanny who torture kids or lots more! I want Bryan have special bonding with me, knowing that I'll always be there for him no matter what happens and he always comes first in everything that I do.

so I better not take that job, even that offer is very tempting and hard to refuse but I won't regret it bryan is more important than anything for me now. to witness his first mumble,his first word,his first step is my greatest achievement beside who say that become a full time mother is not a job? it's the greatest job I've ever done!!

When babies around

bryan with one of bike decoration contestant

ups!! bryan pulling out the decoration..

Happy 63 years of independence and as a tradition we're celebrate it with games,bazaar,show,etc in our house complex, yesterday there's games about searching pictures in our neighbor, a group of family members must search where's the place of picture is taken and take a picture of it use digital camera as a proof that we found that place, for example : they took picture of electric power with specific number and we must search where it is,take a picture of it by foot! our complex is quite big so its very tiring yet fun, I didn't join it,Bryan nanny is take a day leave since last Thursday until sunday,but I take bryan with his stroller for a ride around complex to support his daddy,yeye,and kuku.oh..and also enjoy free breakfast porridge ;)

this morning,I took bryan to bazaar and see bike decoration competition, there's a barney and mickey clown,come surprise..he's not affraid at all!! no crying or wailing even when the barney hold him!! he seem fine with it! wow! he's just like me, when I was a little girl, I also not afraid with clowns and it consider rare since clowns in my time is bit creepy.

Calling for help

He's always doing this when he need my help to hold him,get him to sit position or give him something that he wants but when he's in happy mood,he never say mama..he will say papapapapa and mumbling some other words. even though it's very tiring sometimes cause he can wailing so many times in short time but I'm still enjoy it so much,to hear my son calling me for help,it was my joy and pride as his mother and this is the moment that i'll treasure forever cause maybe in next few years he will busy with his own life and my presence will not become so important like today.

Ups!

How do I
Get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
Your my world my heart my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you'd take away everything good in my Life.

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
O how do I live?.

Without you
There'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me
And I
Baby I don't know what I would do
I would be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in My life

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever ever survive?
How do I
How do I
O how do I live?...

Please tell me baby..

How do I go on?
If you ever leave
Well baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know your everything good in My life

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
O how do I live

How do I live without you
How do I live without you baby.......
How do I live....

Meeting Jack

Today,I took Bryan to his amah for get some massage (before and when i was pregnant with bryan,I've regularly visited ai ichen for massage every twice a week,so when bryan was born, ai ichen treat bryan like her own grandson,that's why bryan call her amah which mean "grandma") and jack (amah grandson) is there too.. jack is nearly 1 year next september, bryan is very-very happy to meet jack, he's keep laugh and smiling while jack is bit unwell, he's easily cry or become jealous when amah hold bryan. if you wonder why Jack looks like causcasian,it was because his father is Australia, while Jack mom (ai daughter) is Chinese.

Bryan and his new "BMW" stroller

Bryan really loves ride his stroller, he's been moving backward, going circle and right-left with his stroller which makes me EXTRA careful to watch him around, I'm afraid that he's bump into something or even grab anything that potential dangerous for him for example : he loves bump his stroller to table, so i must make sure that the table is in "all clear" status. :)

Oma birthday

Before I was a Mom
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed
Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

I never knew I would love being a Mom

Mom,there's no enough space to write down a beauty of your heart in here yet it also still not enough to express how i feel about you, thank you for all your devotion,love and care. I hope i can be like you one day, a great mom with a great heart! Happy Birthday mom, I love you so much!! love, your beloved daughter.

8-8-08

Bryan was invited by his nephew, Clev's 1st birthday party at his apartment. Bryan's nai-nai (bryan grandma from father side) is the youngest daughter,apparently when nai-nai was born, her sister and brother also have childrens too so nai-nai and her nieces-nephews are about the same age,they got married almost at a same time and have children in about the same age too. So, clev is one of nai-nai nephew grandchildren which also Bryan nephew. Bryan will call clev mommy jie-jie while clev will call bryan Aqiu. hahahahaha..is this too confusing??

But he's totally not in the mood for party today, 15 minutes after we reach there he's start to crying out loud, a hysterical one! and he just won't stop until i decided to bring him home, he's back to normal when he was out from there, and also can smile and laugh at car! *sigh*

I heard from an old people that there's some babies who are so sensitive and since they're still pure sometime they can't see what we can't see especially when we bring baby to a new place, and it's better not take babies outside pass 5 pm during this 7 month of Chinese cause it's a month of hungry ghost festival.

I'm just glad that Bryan is okay! he's not crying or wailing when he was at home, totally fine! I just hope when we're going holiday next month, he will not act like today! *cross finger*

watching Olympic opening ceremony today and it was totally AWESOME! great work and spectacular show! actually bryan and clev was wearing BEIJING 2008 T-shirt today but too bad I didn't have chance to take any picture of them.

My Dad always visit Bryan for his monthly anniversary, like today...he's been calling me since morning to check if his beloved grandson is awake or not so he can playing with him, and of course Bryan enjoying his time with opa so much, when opa is not carried him, he will cry and raising his hand to opa. Since Bryan is the first grandchildren from my family, he's become center of attention of my dad,mom and brothers, they LOVE Bryan VERY-VERY MUCH!

Food lover

Bryan meal time

Bryan start his first solid when he was 5 and half months, he first solid is Gerber cereal with mommy milk, and then follow by pear juice 30cc ;) now at 8 months so far Bryan appetite is doing great, he enjoy most of his food, his favourite fruit is papaya, but he also take puree pumpkin combine with potato and milk, banana with cereal and milk, puree pear, I'm just start to introduce him with avocado. he's begin to eat 3 meals per day but breakfast and evening meal only a fruits or cereal, for lunch I give him puree brown rice mixed with vegetables and 1 meat/fish (salmon).

Piggy year babies

Today Bryan finally meet Kenny, he was born on the same day as Bryan. her mum,yenny is my highschool friend but I'm more close with her sister, wenny.being on the same age as Bryan, kenny has master crawling,standing, and sitting position while bryan still not master anything. but at the other side, Bryan is very talkative, he love to scream, say papa mama very clear and mumbling some words while kenny can't.old man said that if baby can speak first than he will slow in walking and vice versa, for example naomi (bryan cousin who 6 months older) she can speak some words but at nearly 14 months she still can't walking yet ;)

well, everybody has their own time so does the baby,my niece skip crawling and directly standing and walking. as long Bryan growing healthy, i don't have anything to worry at this moment.
