Darling had baby scrambled egg yolk for breakfast yesterday..
After that in the afternoon, I met up with Huili and we shop shop around from Plaza Sing, to Takashimaya, to Paragon..
We had lunch at Sakae Teppanyaki, Darrielle had her vanilla yoghurt.. :D
The Tan's
I love the Baby's room at taka.. Big and spacious.. Especially this:
'Solely by mothers for breastfeeding purpose only' This is so damn good.. I serious had enough of formula feeding mom hogging up the nursing cubicles when there are plenty of seat outside the nursing cubicles already..
Huili was looking at the Hello Kitty sale, I'm more interested at the yukata.. I have been thinking of getting one for myself, and one for Darrielle, hopefully we can make it to the Natsu Matsuri 2009, or 2010.. By then, she will be able to walk, n she will look oh so cute in mini yukata.. ahha.. Will start looking out for it next summer.. I had my 1st yukata last year, juz one or two months before I found out about my pregnancy.. It's quite pretty.. But before I have the chance to wear it and goes to Natsu Matsuri 2007, I found out I'm carrying Darling and have to do it alone.. So I sold off my yukata to save up for the checkups and delivery and money for her..
Gosh! I was so slim back then.. Please pardon my messy hair.. hahaha..

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
