LV Mon Monogram has finally arrived!!!
My much awaited mon monogram has finally arrived!!!
When we bought this bag, we were told by LV's PCR that the bag would be ready in a month time from the date of purchase/order. Hubby ordered the bag on 11 Dec 2010 and when deadline was up, we called the store's PCR a couple of times to check but were disappointed when we're told that the shipment has been delayed due to the holiday seasons.
Anyway, after our trip back from HK, we got a call on 22 Jan at around 7pm to inform us that the bag has reached the store. Boy, are we elated!! Told hubby that night and he too was excited. He was more anxious than I was and I intended to wait till Saturday to collect it but he couldn't wait and planned for the bag to be collected the next day,Friday 23 Jan 2010.
Hubby picked us up after work at 6pm and we left for the LV store. It was raining cats and dogs when we left the house but got to the store by 7pm. The PCR was in a meeting and we were told to return at 8pm but we're already hungry and didn't intend to return so we got the other sales assistant to attend to us. When he took out the bag, I was overjoyed! It looked the way I envisioned it to be. It was beautiful. So sorry I couldn't post the picture here now but will do it soon.
Oh, and we got a Tressor NM too which we exchanged it for a Sarah monogram the next morning at LV, KLCC. The Tressor was too small and we liked the Sarah very much as it matched my speedy 30.

Crying for a good 30 mins - wonder why?
It's already 1pm and it's Jacob's nap time but he isn't planning on going to bed any time soon. Jacob is still so hyper. I'm already worn out. Tried putting him to bed a couple of times but he resisted and crawled back onto the floor. By this time, he was getting very restless.
Attempt no.3: Made him a bottle of milk, put him back on the bed and fed him. Drank 1 oz. Failed.
Attempt no.4: Carried him and plop him on the bed, gave him his pacifier. Sang "The Incy Wincy Spider". He cried louder. Resisted and wanted me to carry him. Again failed.
Attempt no.5: He began to cry incessantly. He was throwing tantrums and really crying. I'm at wits end. Couldn't figure out what he wants. Ok, figured he wanted to get out of the room or go kai kai but I wasn't intending on giving in just yet. I didn't want him to think that he could get what he wanted by crying. Another part of me felt bad because I let him cry. Still, I wasn't relenting. He didn't too.
Attempt 6: Carried him, craddled and soothe him but it didn't work. He continued to cry. Failed again.
Attempt 7: I probably lost count on the number of attempts I made. By now my attempts are now to get him to bed but more so to pacify and soothe him. Placed him on the floor and let him cry. He cried and threw his tantrums. I left him alone. I felt bad but if that's the way to train him to accept no for answer, then that's the way it has to go. He cried. I'm tired.
Attempt no.8 & 9: Craddled and placed him on the bed. Fed him his milk. Caress his forehead and whispered to him "I love you very much". He quietly accepted and drank until he fell asleep, still choking from too much phlegm in his throat as a result of too much crying.
He finally stop crying and slept. The last time he cried so much was last Sunday. We were at Pizza Uno for our brunch when he pooped (he has been having diarrhea for the past 1 week due to stomach infection caused by some viral he picked up). Hubby decided that we should clean him when we get home instead of doing it at the restaurant. Our little friend cried the whole journey home and continued to cry even after we've cleaned him up. Both of us were stressed out. I was exhausted from all the restraining I had to do so that his poo don't leak out of his diaper. Hubby took him out of the room to calm him down. It didn't work. He then took him to the car, placed him by the steering wheel and enticed him with the signal light and wiper indicator by flicking it on and off for several times until his cries subsided.
This is really exhausting.

Jacob at 13 months
Well, Jake will be turning 13 months in a couple of days. Time really flies. He is a gift from God and we are so honoured to be his parents.
He has accomplished quite a number of things at his age and thought it would be good to blog it here. He never fails to charm us with his witty moves and funny baby talk that sounded like a repetitive rolling of tongue. Here are some of his other achievements: He understands the word 'sayang' (or love) and knows how to gently caress when told to. When he wants something, I teach him to say 'please' which he actually did and it sounded like 'pooise'. But he forgets his 'pooise' when he gets impatient. One incident that surprised and made us laugh till we cried was when his Kung Kung ask him this; "How you hello hello?" to which he instinctively responded by putting the mobile phone to his ear while another hand cupped his other ear. It is then I realised that Jacob knew a lot but never showed until we prompt him to. When I ask him to give, he gave and when told to wait, he waited.
Just yesterday I was on the bed reading a Sidney Sheldon book when Jake crawled up next to me with a book in his hand. He sat up and put the book in my hand and i return the book back to him (as we would normally do when he gave us something). So I went back to my Sidney Sheldon book and continued from where I've left off. Then, Jake put the book back into my hand and I put it aside. He became aggitated and was about to cry when I realised that he actually wanted me to read to him. So I read him "Charlie The Car" while he sat quietly and listened as though he understood. When I've finished reading, he was happy and went on to look for things to play. These are the little things that brought immense joy to my life.
I must say that Jake is brilliant, loving, bubbly, friendly and is an easy going child. It was easy to travel or bring him shopping (and shopping here mean shopping 5 to 6 hours straight). He enjoyed going out very much and loves observing people. The only complain we have was carrying him for long hours. And if he gets very tired, he'll just rest his head on our shoulder and fall asleep, oblivious to the chaotic and noisy surroundings.
We are so blessed to have this little bundle of joy in our lives.
