Holiday
Wh
at could be a better way to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary than having a baby to spend it with us? Not every couples’ ideal idea but yes,we brought our baby for a 3days,2 nights weekend getaway with us to Pangkor Island Beach Resort. I pity him as the journey must be tiring and stressful for him but my husband said he is so lucky to go for a holiday at 3-month-old.
When you have such a young baby tolling along with you, you will create quite an attention. On the jetty,while waiting for hubby to park his car,two ladies offered me a stool to sit at their shop and a paper fan seeing Yiyan crying under the afternoon sun. Then,there was the helpful hotel staff that got us a nearer room to the restaurant.Basically all the staffs there are very friendly and helpful that we enjoyed our stay there,plus the beach is beautiful, the room is very nice and being situated so close to the nature,we have our privacy too except for the monkey that stood at my balcony when i open the door.
Having a baby with us wasn’t easy.First,you can’t expect baby to sit still while both of us enjoy the buffet,being so young,we can’t bring him to the pool.Also we can’t do any activities leaving the baby behind like massaging together, enjoying liquor at club at nights and etc. Guess where is my baby’s shower and pool? the sink!
Even taking ferry wasn’t easy. It was raining when we left and silly me was wearing slipper and the slippery ferry floor made me fell on my butt. Luckily the mother instinct asked me to hold baby tight from falling and while his mother,that’s me aching from the fall,Yiyan was still sound asleep.
Nevertheless, having him around is fun and satisfying.I can’t wait for him to grow older and we can play in the pool and playground together. Oh,and guess what? While daddy didn’t get to meet new friend,Yiyan and mummy found one.Yiyan has a one-year-old boy waving to him while mummy make eye contact with the boy’s mum.

I hope your butt is not hurting anymore. I myself fell down twice before, holding my daughter. First time was outside the bathroom, right after bathing her - I slipped and fell on my butt, but my daughter was safe in my arms. Second time, I was carrying her down the stairs in the morning (she was sleeping) and I slipped and bumped all the way down several steps. That time, I sprained an ankle and scraped my elbow pretty hard, but my daughter was unhurt - still, she cried cos the fall woke her from her sleep. heheh
Talk about mother instincts!

Falling few steps of the stairs?! That must be so painful.I hope I don’t fall from the stairs.U know how high the stairs in my dad’s house is.Somemore my maid like to put a piece of cloth on top of the stairs.

A cloth on top of the stairs is like a booby trap! Better be real careful. I’m a seasoned stairs-faller-down, and trust me, you won’t like it!
