Baby turns 26 day

Wen Jia is now 26 days old. It is great to learn that she has grown up quite substantially over the 26 days period. I snapped a few pictures of her on day 21 and you can see that she looks quite different from Day 5.
For Siew Wei and I, it was really a tough new start for us. Though there are friends and relatives who are kind enough to share with us their past parenting experience, I must say that the advices and guides do help in certain way but not completely. Nothing wrong with this as each baby born differently in traits and features. My baby is my baby and of course she is unique to us! Well, despite the fact that she did cry unreasonably at night sometimes, she remain the cutest baby in the world in our mind.
I learned that a one-month baby's only expression is crying. That is how she communicates with us. It is of course our job as parents to understand how each message means to us and act accordingly. We just need to be very patience and tolerant. Baby has not been unreasonbly demanding just because she wanted to. So, parent has to be reasonable in responding to her demand as well. We are learning and we are adjusting. Hopefully we will be great parents to the eyes of our little princess.

Malaysia's Birthday

I’ve almost forgotten that 16th Sept is Malaysia’s 44th birthday. We have received so much publicity for our Nation’s 50th Merdeka celebration, but what about 16th Sept, the day when Malaysia was born?
I recalled that I did not learn this in my history education that 16th Sept is an important date too for our nation. I do not know how people of Malaysia will feel about it, but I certainly think that our friends from East Malaysia will have a strong feeling of being left behind.
Happy 44th birthday to Malaysia !

Baby Arrived

Our newborn baby has arrived on 30 Aug 07 at 1347 hr. Both mother and baby are doing well.
The first few days of taking care of bay did not come easily. Me and my wife were having sleepless nights due to baby's crying habit at night.
Well, this has undoubtedly posted a great challenge to us. As a new parents, we realise that there is certainly a long way to go and a steep learning curve for us.
No matter what, the arrival of new member has certainly create a lot of excitement to us. Words just can't say enough on how we feel.
