Baby Fever

I find myself opening a new blog post each time, but never having anything to say. What I can report is that I've been dearly blessed in the past couple of weeks (setting aside a couple of hiccups - like my first "U" in a test) and I am so thankful for everything that has happened. The uncertainty of my future is still bugging me, even though I've achieved 40%, but I shall not let that drag my mood down! When there is a will, there is a way.

On the flip side, Bangsawan is less than a week away and I don't know whether I'm terrified or relieved. Terrified because we are not ready just yet but relieved because that will finally mean I'll be free during the nights again. I'm also staying back this weekend (yeah, shocker) because we've got an elephant trip (haha) and I think last minute preps for Bangsawan - I just really can't wait until this is all over and finally I'll be relieved of all commitment!

Speaking of commitment, the Student Council 2009 has officially stepped down and I actually kinda feel bittersweet. I know I've been complaining about all the stress, but it actually feels weird now even as I attended my last official Calendar Committee meeting with the juniors. But whatever it is, I wish the new committee all the best because it's going to be one heck of a ride.

But I'm sure you're wondering what the title of this post has got to do with anything. It's what I'm actually about to talk about right now which is ..

Kissing a baby's cheeks over and over and over and over again. I don't know if it's her feathery soft skin or the smell of her powder but it's just so "geram" - is there even an English word for it? Every time I get to hold her, I want to smother her face with kisses because she's just too adorable. I know that sounds freaky, but I'm pretty sure you'll fall in love with her too!

Little Aisyah (the newest addition to our cousins) was born late October last year and is barely four months but I think she's already got everybody eating out of her tiny little palm. My mom can't help but pick her up each time and coo endlessly, my dad salvaged the honour of burping her after we fed her, Maria and I surround her almost everytime she's in the house and my grandparents are just in bliss.

And just to add to the fever, please do yourself a favour and watch this video!



I always watch this whenever I'm feeling particularly blue, because this never fails to put a smile on my face. This is one of my favourite ads I saw on TV while I was in London.

Enjoy. :)
