It's such a joy to see your lil one grow up day by day, ticking off the milestones checklist one by one:
turning over
Sitting up
Standing
Walking
Running ( comes invariably with falling at the moment)
Singing ( what sounds more like pitch deaf humming)
And talking (maximum two syllabus at the moment, although she is attempting to say "I Lyou"!!)
Speaking of which, I thought it would be nice to record down the words that she can say at 15 months.
Papa (her first word)* mama * ah gong *ah ma* che che (uncle)* Poh Poh *
Go where?? ( comes with hand gesture and expression of bewilderment)
Up ! (she shouts this out loud to announce that she's awake every morning, usually also in an attempt to wake her sleepy parents up )
Haaaand ( and subsequently twirls her lil fingers around yours)
BReAaaaD - her all time favorite food
Dog* Cat* Bear* Fish*Bird*
Apple * Mango * Nana (for banana)*Durett--- which is supposed to mean cherry, don't ask me why that is haha
YES* NO* WAIT
Ai-jia (Hokkein for wanting to eat )
Baby ( referring to all human beings that appear smaller than her )*jie jie * Co Co
Shoeeee
Chou-Chou -- referring to her socks
Baaarni (barney)
Ball
IPAD!
Cup
No more
Allo
Eyes*teeth*ears*hair *knee*elbow
One*two
And last but not least....
"I L-You!!"

And so it is
It's been a 7 -year long hiatus. Since I've got more time on my hands now, I thought I might as well start writing again.
I was reading my last blog, and I smile with amusement at my last entry on the November 29, 2006:

***
many of my friends and colleagues from old thought that I would end up as a surgeon, intensivist or even a geriatrician (yes, I enjoy talking to friendly old people quite a lot.)
But look at where I am now -- full-time mother, part-time doctor...... and I have never felt happier... =)

I've always had an obsession with numbers. Isn't it amazing how ten different digits can give rise to a million gazillion combinations and permutations? In this day and age, our sense of security is, more often than not, reliant on these little digits.

This combination of numbers never meant anything to me, until the day I held my little newborn in my arms, whilst in the caress of my beloved husband. After nine months of surrealism, things finally hit home. Like what my husband said in that moment of magical silence, " I never imagined that I was able to be a part of the making of something so beautiful...."

As I looked into the bewildering blackness of her big round irises, my heart began to swell with this great concoction of emotions that I will never be able to adequately describe. Amazement. Happiness. Anticipation. Disbelief.
Cos from this moment on, we have our very own "Rei" of hope...! =)
