Its the first time Darrielle put on a dress yesterday..
I think she looks lovely.. But my bro comment.. Howcome botak head wear dress, looks funny.. HAHA!!
and my funny girl, she like being carried in a up-right position.. We met Shirley at Chong Pang for lunch yesterday.. After we reached home, I tried bathing her myself.. OMG.. After 1 and half month, its the first time i bath my Darling by myself.. I kept saying, "宝贝 sorry ar.. It's Mummy's first time bathing you.. If mummy didn't do a good job, you juz close one eyes huh.." LOL.. Heng, she was still quite ok.. Didn't scream.. hahaa..
I sent my mum to buy a bottle of Vicks for children(the cherry flavor one)for Darrielle as she was having stuffy nose these few days.. Who knows the uncle at the Chinese pharmacy told my mum, only got the original kind, its the same, children also can use.. My mum still specifically told him, its for baby less than 2 months old.. He still say can can can.. KNN.. When my mum came back with the Original Vicks, I read the indications, it says not to be used on children below 2 years of age.. And if the original Vicks is suitable for kids below 2 years old, why would Vicks come up with another Vicks for children leh? KAOZ! to think that we used to buy so many herbs from that stupid old man! grr....
My mum got Darrielle a golden anklet.. Very pretty..

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
