On vacation

Dear All,

I'll be going on vacation from 6/12 to 12/12, so there won't be any updates during this period (as if I am always updating this blog, hahahaa). Anyway, I will try my best to update this asap. So I'll see you around after 13/12.

Please take good care of yourselves, don't end up like me wrapping wonton.

Love,
ClaudiaMom

CLaudia is 18 months

She turned 18 month on 26/11 but I don't have the time to blog about, reason being, I'm just too tight up with everything, work, work and work, and was busy doing shopping for the Korea trip. Wow, I really spent quite a lot on the money, even some of the necessities I gotto to loan from friends and got a free jacket worth RM349 from Winter time, there are still alot of others stuff to buy like lotions, lip balm, a pair of good shoe, bigger pants, extra sweater, long john and etc. I really burnt quite a big hole in my pocket. Think twice before going for a winter holiday.

Ok back to Claudia, she is at

Height : 75cm
Weight : 9.7kg

Meal is as usual except she has been taking porridge twice a day daily, that is a good news, because she wasn't all fancy about porridge before, my mum would always cook for her but it will all ended in my brother's tummy, because she will spit all out and refused to eat later, now I thank God that she's eating, I hope she will gain more and more weight when I return. She is really small at her age and is still underweight.

I call her a singing bird, each time she wakes up in the morning, she will start to talk and talk non-stop and she likes to imitate us, she repeats what we say or do, copy exactly like an adult does, like a 'lou yan ching', and she will laugh at herself too.

Holiday starts tonight but ...

I'm going to fly to Korea tonight, but I'm not all excited and looking forward this trip, not as excited and I had expected to be months ago. Why? Hmm... there are a few reasons :-

1. I am so sick (how to enjoy when you are already sick and your lips start to crack even before leaving for the cold country
2. I worry about my work will pile high up when I returned, and dunno where and when to start
3. My dearest sister will arrive to after spending months and months at LA, we don't have time to catch up until after 1 week
4. I worry about leaving my home for 1 week with no one to look after
   
5. My best friend's mum passed away on Monday, I was not able to attend the funeral at Sitiawan, I don't have a chance to comfort her and lend her a shoulder to cry on since that day and now I'll be flying and only can meet up after 1 week later. So my dearest friends, please help to look after her during I'm away
6. My father and brother are going to Korea too, leaving only the ladies behind, my mum, sis, Claudia and the maid. I rely need to rely on my sis to help to look after all of them, make sure you look all the doors ya?
7. But most importantly, I miss my little darling...can she cope without me? or rather can I cope without her by my side? I will definitely miss her, thinking of only leaving her makes me wanna cry, I told her to be good and stay with her po-po for a week while mummy and daddy are away, but she shook her head saying that she don't want. I dunno whether she understands. Claudia, make sure you be good ok, although we are away, we will miss you too, and love you always, don't angry with mummy and daddy ya?
   

This is not my first time going on vacation without Claudia, each time I felt heavy hearted to bid her goodbye, I remembered a few times I was on vacation and came back, she will show her anger towards me (no joke man) or even cried and rejecting me, I felt lousy and sad. I really hope this round it wont happen (this is the longest trip). Mummy will buy more and more gifts for you, ok?

I know I must learn to let go and not to worry unnecessary. I must learn to enjoy. If I can't do it, better not thinking of going on vacation again. Yeah, I think I won't simply plan again, must re-think of the pros and cons. Sigh.
