Beyond Motherhood

The way I see breastfeeding is a blessing not only for the mother but the child as well. It has been said that mother’s milk is the best, highly nutritious and builds the baby immune system. I strongly believed that the nursing relationship has great attachments, deeply connected and bonding between mother and child. Parents have various stories to share when it comes to breast-feeding from child one to the next, they face different experiences.

My most challenging, I would say the toughest and tiring breastfeeding experience will be my first child. As a first time parent I have no idea of how would it feel when the baby sucked or the proper way to nurse a baby. I know it is a way to feed the baby and after weeks of my breastfeeding journey, I discovered that it was more than just feeding the baby. It is all about love, bonding, and relationship and so much more. It is definitely a priceless experience I ever had.

Yesterday was a Public Holiday, and we stayed at home. We clean the whole house my 2 kids were complaining but enjoy the chores assigned. Hubby helps scrubbing the bathroom floor and throwing rubbish. Everybody is tired after all the chores and what do we do? We decided to go out eat McDonald and ice cream and bring the kids to the park. How nice and we did look for Grohe faucet to replace the current faucet in the kitchen.

I love to see man wearing tuxedo, especially if he is tall and handsome like my hubby (ahem…). My dear hubby if you are reading this, yes! You are tall and handsome in my sight (wink). Tuxedos come with accessories’ items like cuff links, vests, shirts, studs and bow ties. Now I’m imagining my soon 11 month’s baby with tuxedo on. That is not a real tuxedo; I use Photoshop to put it on him…hehe… and he looks so cute and mature.

Now that he is 7 years old he is asking for one gadget. He says “Mummy, I think it’s time for me to have a cell phone, because I reach 7 already”. Yes… That is what he wants for Christmas and it’s time for me and hubby to upgrades our cell phones too (if budget permitted). Once we bought a new one, he can have my old phone. Thinking twice I don’t think he is ready to own one we might just keep it until a certain time.

Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody. Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.”  Romans 12:17-18 (The Message)

Yeah.. When nothing else to do, having fun is the best. This morning we started our mini activity with reading by mummy. I pick “Why me God” book. After the reading, we go into singing and dancing. The kids enjoy it. At first my boy A not interested in participating, he says “I’m not a small child”. But after watching my girl B and baby C having fun, he joins the crowd. After all the reading, singing, running, I let them play with their own activity while I’m preparing for the lunch. As usual, son A will be on a computer watching his Ben 10 stuff on you tube, girl B also on the other computer playing her sponge bob game online and baby C with his car.

School holiday has officially started and I am looking forward to the days ahead. No more wake up early at least for a month. So what should I do to keep him busy during the holiday? No special arrangement most of the time he will be at home. Well… At least he can join my girl and baby C do the morning dance and games conduct by mummy at home from Monday to Friday.

When I look back at the beginning of this year, trying to imagine the hectic days we had, not to mention the concern and worry towards him to be in standard 1, with lots of children and the super fierce teacher. He could mix well with the children and settle down quickly, and he was looking forward to go to school everyday. That was the beginning of this year. When the fifth months approach, he begins to feel bored and tired. There was time that we purposely don’t send him to school for a few days just to let him stay at home and let him relax.

After almost a year in standard one, I ask him a question yesterday of how he felt about going to school. He smiled and gives me 6 reasons what makes him don’t like to go to school.

1. I don’t like homework

He never likes to do homework, just too many of them and worst of all, he is only standard one. This is one of the things that we expect from a Chinese school, but it was too many and a little heavier not only for me but for a standard one student. However, as months passed by I get used to it.

2. Very noisy

He is the nosiest not only at home but outside specially in the shopping mall. Somehow he does not like the noises in the school. He said “I want to pengsan (faint) everyday”.

3. Don’t like the teacher always angry

He always complained about his class teacher of being angry all the times. He said one time the teacher almost lost her voice because she shouts too much. Well, guess the teacher means well and wanted to have a discipline in the class.

4. Like to stay at home

He prefers to stay at home because he has all his toys and loves playing computer.

5. Don’t like reading book

He gladly exclaims “I’m not a reading kid mummy, I’m a toy kid”. We send him to school when he is only 2 years old, and he shows a good interest in books at that very young age even the principal commented that he is a fast learner. Come to think about it, we have invested not only our time of reading to him but the choices of school we choose during his early years.

6. Don’t like to wake up early

The whole family is having a difficulty getting up early. We must change! It must change! I look forward for an improvement next year not only for us but his perception of school.

Most of us have deformed teeth, one way or another. No one is born with perfect teeth that will last a lifetime. I visited Plano dentist website recently and read about their makeover cosmetic dentistry and the service they provide, they even have smile analysis online. I guess the cost for the makeover must be very expensive. I can imagine what my hubby will say if I were to suggest to have this makeover.

Do you know that backup can be done online? An online backup is where you can store your files onto a host on the website. The advantage of using this kind of backup is that you do not need additional hardware or storage and best of all mobility. You can basically do it anywhere, on the go as long as you have an internet connection. It is so simple, that even my 7 years old son can do the backup for his own files in a matter of seconds.

Business nowadays is relying on IT for their everyday operation; there are the needs for a better system in order to stay competitive ahead of others. Most operation critical system cannot afford to have downtime more than 5 hours or even less. This is where IT solutions play a big role.

There are companies who provide this kind of service. They will study the present system that is being used and advises on upgrades, new technology and system integration that can be applied to improve the current system. Areas that can be the focus on are such as recovery plan, hardware resources, backup solutions and others.
