I woke up this morning with a spinning dizzy spell.. And a burning throat! Decided to rest a day and get a MC.

Mummy called and told me that my cousin-in-law has passed away last night. My face went ... "huh"...

They are kind people... Why must they be tortured in life?

She has been struggling with breast cancer for almost a year. A week back, we were told that the cells are spread over the brain... She and my cousin went for a holiday in Spain and there came the news this morning. She left behind her her devoted husband aka my cousin... And three sons, aged 8, 5, and 3...

I really can't describe my feelings now... Perhaps it is a break-free for her and my cousin... To hang on there...
But she couldn't get to watch her children grow up to be wonderful young men and get married with kids... Moreover the youngest is only 3yrs old!
However, what I'm most concern and worried would be: how to expect my cousin answer the children if they ask were mummy was and needs the maternal love...

I knew, as a cousin and the kids' aunt, I should do something... But I have my limits... And o seriously don't know what I can do to help them.

I'll be having class later But I really have no mood... It's an ss class.. I have to go, or I'll really miss out alot!

Will only be able to drop by like tml... Thank goodness tml and the day after hubby's doing morning shift... If not I got to take care of baby and couldn't go again...

I only have to keep on praying for them. Oh lord, may u pour some blessings on the sufferers? Wipe away their tears, mend their heart, give them a smile, and a happier new life. Amen!

Nicole is starting to speak recognizable words now!
She could say "mama", "papa" very clearly now.
When she wave bye to us, she will say "bye" at the same time. But her "bye~~" always sound like "ai~" as "b"vowel are cut off.
Ytd we heard her saying "hello" for a few times when she imitates us by using her toys as phone... However that was only that few instances when she said that, just like when she call "popo"=my mum. It's only tt few times she did that.
Overall, I'm quite glad because she was totally "wordless" few months ago when she did her da at Kkh... Which was quite a worrying factor!!

Besides that, she also reached a few milestones!
-she could sit on any children's vehicle (trycicle, truck, car, etc) all by herself: in and out
-she could feed food by herself quite accurately but mostly with assistance.
-she could step on the kitchen rubbish bin herself and throw things we instructed her to do so.
-she could rock her bears to sleep when u asked her to do it
-she could point to most parts of her body when asked
-she could squat when I wanna wash her butt!
-she will take her potty out when she wanna poo!
-she is super independent at the playgrounds! She climbs all the way up and down the slide all by herself (with supervision)
-she uses my iPhone like a professional
-etc etc etc!!!

On an extra note: she woke up in the morning just now when I was changing and said "bye" to me!!

I love to watch her grow bit by bit...
I wish so much to provide her with the best care, love, attention, and happiness of a family.

Anyway, thought about her bdae Liao... Shall make it a family issue and not hold any grand parties! But will be glad if anyone wanna celebrate with her!! Am signing up a music lesson for her as her bdae pressie next yr... Hopefully she'll enjoy!!

As for my bdae, I'll just kiv first... Still not sure on what to do... Prob lie low??

That's about it! Tada! Shall update another day!!
