March 28th is a special day!

This week has been a whirlwind of zooming from place to place. I went for so many events, more than i’m bothered to list down here; wrote blogposts, did client work, worked on some copy for a project, visited Aps cos she’s recuperating from an operation, and two other major occasions took place too!

The first is my mom’s birthday, which falls on March 28th. She turns 59 this year. ๐Ÿ˜€

And now, it’s Cameron’s birthday too! He was born on Thursday morning!!! I was SO tired on Wednesday night that i didn’t read any messages after midnight, and had missed a slew of excited messages on how Cammy was going to the hospital at 2am and the baby was going to be born soon! By the time i read it when i woke up, the baby was born already ย -_-

But still, i pored over the pictures Kenny sent from the delivery room, with baby Cameron still with blood all over him in Cammy’s arms. I totally cried with happiness just LOOKING at the pictures, and wondered if i should wear waterproof make up when i go see them.

I braved the evening traffic to pop by Gleneagles Hospital before a media preview i had to attend in KLCC at 8pm. (Thanks to Waze for saving my life. I don’t know what i’d do without Waze now.)

Say hello to Cameron!!!!!!!!

He was sleeping soundly (babies sleep 23 out of 24 hours when they’re born) and i didn’t wanna wake him. He was cutely spurting saliva out for a few seconds but i reckoned he could still breathe through his nose? Crap, it’s not even my baby and i’m panicking already! I can understand why new mothers constantly check on their babies in the middle of the night to see if they’re breathing! They’re so small and tiny and precious!

I have never seen a day-old baby up close before… and marveled at how perfectly smooth his skin is, and his tiny tiny nose and eyes. I peered so close that i even held my breath lest *that* wake him. I was like, “Wow… this THING was MADE in CAMMY’S TUMMY!” How amazing life is…

I asked Kenny to take a picture of us, and didn’t bother checking it cos i didn’t see how hard it could be.

My first picture with Cameron… and you can’t even see his face. Thanks Kenny ย -_-

Btw, everyone is saying how the baby looks JUST LIKE KENNY, and i said to Cammy, “Everyone saying look like Kenny, but YOU MADE HIM.”

She was like, “Yeah. I did all the hard work but Kenny gets all the credit -_-”

I can imagine Kenny saying to me, “I DID do the hard work! I had to swim hard.”

Besides the exciting birth of Cameron and my mom’s birthday, another EXCITING incident was me visiting Toys R Us today! I make it a point to check the toystore every couple of months, just to see if any new My Little Pony designs come in. I happened to be outside a Toys R Us after going for the I Eat KL launch, and despite having to run to the supermarket to buy groceries, rush home to tidy and cook dinner before Clem is coming home after being away for work since Monday; i bounced inside to take a QUICK LOOK.

They have some new rockstar ponies. But they’re the same miniature size as dozens from the big box i bought some time back, so i don’t think i should have THAT many tiny ponies… trying to be good. I was thinking, if they mass-produced fashion ponies in different designer outfits, i’d probably BUY THE LOT. x2 even.

This new toy called Lalaloopsy is in store… but the button eyes on the doll remind me too much of Coraline and freak me out a little. I’d imagine the button-eyed doll chasing after me with a needle and thread to sew buttons in my eyes’ place so i’ll become a doll forever. Okay that didn’t sound so scary when i typed it down but i swear, YOU try watching Coraline and tell me if it scared you or not.

 

The smaller sized ones are not so bad cos you can’t really see they have buttons for eyes. And they’re so small they can’t hurt you even if they were alive so… less scary.

Littlest Pet Shop has a GIANT pet store you can buy to store all the Littlest Pet Shop toys! I can’t wait to have children just so i have more license to buy massive toys like this and justify that it’s ‘for the children’.

I was good… and bought the two cutest Littlest Pet Shop toys i liked, which was the chinchilla and the ladybug. And a Lalaloopsy wearing a bear costume cos that was the LEAST scary one which i quite liked. It’s as tall as my finger so i can carry it out in my regular clutch!

Chichillaaaaaa SCHO KIUTTT Look at those big purple eyes! Ahhh i JUST WANT TO EAT CHU

I was telling Clem how i saw some old photographs my mum was sorting out this week. This is one of them >

Me at 3 years old!

There’s another one that shows off my toy cupboard and i was like, “WOW, i had so many toys!”
My mom: ย “YEAH LA. So many okay.”

And i told Clem, “Huh. For some reason i THOUGHT i didn’t have enough toys when i was young, hence my penchant for still buying them for myself now!”

Clem didn’t say anything and just stared at me. It was a bit scary cos i didn’t know what he was thinking.

He saw me editing pictures for this blogpost, and said, “Why… why are you blogging about toys? Don’t!”
Me: “Why not!?”
Him: “Then people will know… no….. they will know that you buy toys…”
Me: “Nothing wrong with that…” *continues editing pictures distractedly*
Him: “How old are you? 30!”
Me: “Look.” *points at picture of Lalaloopsy box* “It says ‘For ages 4 – 104’!” ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ *laughs at own cleverness*
Him: “Laughing at your joke huh. This is not a joke baby. It’s not a joke.”

So serious! Wouldn’t you rather i buy toys than some other weird scary habit like stuffing dead animals like hamsters and parrots, or or that lady that collects realistic creepy dolls and treats them like her real children??

    SO TRUE! I get a little too excited (more so than my 1 year old but that’s cos she doesn’t know any better yet) whenever we get into Toys R Us or when I think about our trip to Disneyland next year XD
