Bye bye 2010! Welcome 2011!

I used to be celebrating new year alone in the past. But this time, I was putting my girl to bed at the last few minutes of 31/12, sending away 2010 too. I was embracing my husband after the first few minutes of 2011, welcoming the brand new year. Yes, I guess 2010 has been one of the most significant year in my life! Got married, gave birth….the most important is, I’ve got my own family!! I was reviewing the post entry exactly a year ago, seeing how myself did at the past. Surprising enough, this was what I wrote,

To others, the next is marriage, motherhood and i guess thats the ‘maturity’ point To me, i might be ‘late’ as allen often describe me, my mentality is only at the age of 20. But no one can escape from this kind of society pressure! I leave this issues to go by nature, depends how it goes.

What? Marriage? Motherhood….I will be late???? It is not intended, I have no planning to achieve what I described as a maturity point in my life. I am not at all mature but i am trying hard and keep telling myself, I am no longer one who can do whatever, whenever i like to. As for taking responsibility of what I chose on my own, I think I should have achieved ( no other choice anyway, ) Recalled that I should be having Elise in January 2010 already, I can’t believe I was playing water rafting during the company trip to Gopeng! Only in Feb, on the very first day of CNY and exactly the first Valentine Day to celebrate with SCH, we gave ourselves the most surprising and shocking gift! For the next few months, I have been like living in a dream. Organizing my own wedding!!! Others take a year or two to plan, while I took two months to accomplished! Bravo, are we??? Things didn’t end there, in fact, it was just the beginning of another challenge of the year. Husband moved in with my family and I. It was amazing we managed to stay under this small roof for more than four months! Pity him, he has no bed, no desk, and being a ‘crocodile’ for so long. Baby got bigger, knowing she’s a girl, I named her ‘Elise’, the daughter of Elaine June, successfully survived through the Influenza A virus. Baby was five months old and we were so worried about how it will affect her. Thank god, Elise is healthy and H1N1 was just a history. Made us appreciate our precious more. July and August was all about preparation for her arrival. September was a counting down. Moved to Ipoh to expect her arrival. October arrived and on 7th, the first time we laid our eyes on her. Confinement, arguments, pain, fights….these are all I never expect it to happen yet I had one of the most dreadful month in this year. I swear to myself, it will never repeat for my next baby. 20th November, Elise’s full moon party. Invited almost 100 person’s catering party. It was fun, nice and blessed. December….everything seems to be better, slowly established the routine. Taking care of Elise, going back to work.
