Every morning, after her first feed for the day, I’ll let her sleep in bed with me. Today we had a little playtime before she dozed off to continue her daily morning naps.
She was sitting up and throwing herself down back into the pillow in her own, wiggling herself into my arms and nudging her hear against my chest. All the while smiling and giggling with me. I looked at her and realised she has grown and changed so much within 8 months!
Having her in my arms for the first time then, she was so tiny and fragile. Now she is strong and active, exhausting all my energy every day. I’m glad to be able to stay by her side 24/7 and showering her with all the TLC she needs from me. Soon I’ll be spending lesser time with her as I get back to paying more attention into my companies and projects.
I know I’ll be missing her all the time when I’m not with her in the day. I know I’ll be looking forward to getting home and holding her in my arms while she rest her head on my shoulder. I know she will miss me too and will be delighted to see me home from work. Just the thought of these days approaching soon makes my heart aches. A part of me misses my professional life, a bigger part of me is already missing my time with my baby girl.
The time has come for us to move out of my parent’s place. Little girl is growing faster than we had imagined and she needs more space for her growing toys and room to explore as she learns to walk.
We have been going round viewing flats around our ideal home location and have met at least 6 different property agents from various companies. Most we contacted via Propertyguru.com after seeing their listings of houses. The house viewing process is rather fun and some houses left deep (smelly) impressions while some were like a war zone in my opinion. Cannot imagine how they can live in a house like that. I’m glad I’m brought up learning to keep myself and my environment clean. After viewing at least 15 houses, we short listed 5 and offered price to 3, sadly all 3 sellers are still waiting for someone to offer at their ideal price, which is beyond our budget.
Only after viewing 14 houses, then we learned about points which we should take note of when meeting an agent. Thanks to the nice lady from HSR who enlightened us.
Hey! Its the digital age isn’t it? So I’ve got to get connected and starts from young! Of course I don’t own an iPhone but Mummy does. So she’s helping me manage my first social network for now.
Facebook is like the most common social network but its too public for little me. So I’m using Path.
It function more like a journal than a social place. It records my day-to-day activities and I get to share photos, videos and my thoughts with the people who cares and my love ones. Its very easy to use and I’m loving it! (Alright, Mum’s loving it, I just need to be me and she’ll handle the rest.)
Its available on the iPhone and Android. If you want to follow my life, add me to your Path! Search for Ayra Lim. 
See you in Path!
P/s: Only people I know will be added, I no one any stranger nor stalker to invade my little life you know.
