Lil' Tyann,
I have to introduce someone who is very special in Daddy and Mummy G's lives to you. This someone, is someone who is going to be very important to lil' Tyann, apart from Daddy & Mummy G. In fact, I will say that she is as important as Daddy & Mummy G will be to you. (almost...)
This someone was the one who saw Mummy G is her "darkest" moments of her life and was there for Mummy G when she needed someone.
This someone was the one who played a huge role in coordinating Daddy and Mummy G's wedding. (So she is very instrumental to your presence in this world! ;D).
This someone is your Godma Ling.
Daddy and Mummy G have been extremely blessed to have Godma Ling in our lives. When she heard that Mummy G was having you in her tummy, she immediately decided that she was going to be your Godma! And Godma Ling does not take in Godchildren easily. Nope she does not. Your Godma Ling is very selective! In fact, Godma Ling never had any desire to have any Godchildren until that moment Mummy G told her I was having you. ( I guess you, lil Tyann, managed to spark off maternal instincts in TWO women!! Whao!)
Yesterday, Mummy G consulted Godma Ling on your chinese name. Godma Ling is a Mandarin Guru (now you know who to go to to learn your second language!) whereas Daddy and Mummy G are ermm... put it this way-unpolished in the language! =D
Mummy G was extremely touched by Godma Ling. Her enthusiasm in picking the best chinese name for you brought a surge of warmth to Mummy G's heart.;)
Godma Ling even went to the extent of helping you to find a Chinese (astrology?) website which can tell us if the number of strokes in each character of your potential name will give you a good life in future. The website was ALL in chinese (wouldn't have made a difference if it was Greek..hehe..) and Godma Ling told mummy (insinuating I "really cannot make it" in my Mandarin.keke) she will take care of ensuring you have the best possible chinese name.
And just like almost anything in this world that falls into Godma Ling's magical hands, lil' Tyann will be assured that Godma Ling will do a perfect job of finding the best chinese characters for your name. ;D
Lil' Tyann, this is love. Smell it. It's in the air.
Today your Mui Ngee Yiyi asked me when is Mummy G's next check up at Doctor Fong's. She wanted to go to Dr Fong's with Daddy & Mummy G for our next meeting with you because she wanted introduce herself to you as well (plus a free lunch at PS Cafe? Ha ha).
Lil' Tyann's Yi yi wanted to see how you look like because she is so excited that you are coming to this world in just a few months' time. She wanted to see her lil' niece Tyann happily kicking, somersaulting and practising "yoga" in Mummy G's tummy. So remember to wave hello to your Yiyi when you see her next week! =)
Talented Yiyi wrote and sang a very touching song as a wedding gift for Daddy & Mummy G. It was a song that brought tears to Mummy G's eyes when she heard it. The tears came neither due to the soothing melody nor meaningful lyrics. The tears came merely because it was a song for Daddy & Mummy G written by your Yiyi.
Lil' Tyann, this is love. Smell it. It's in the air.
Mummy G is home alone with Tyann today. Daddy G has gone travelling again. Oh, speaking of which, you may not get to see Daddy G much during weekdays in the future because he travels a lot for work and has been doing so for the past 7-8 years since he started working. Mummy G is very used to it.
Daddy G will usually be back by Fridays.
Come Fridays, Mummy G will always take our "Big Uncle Black Tucson" to the airport to meet Daddy G. In future, Mummy G will take BOTH "Big Uncle Black Tucson" and lil' Tyann to the airport to meet our Daddy G at the airport when he comes home from his overseas trips. You will love the airport lil' Tyann and I know you will be beaming with excitement the moment you see Daddy G walk out from the Arrival gate. (with a present for you each time I BETCHA!! HAAA...)
This time Daddy G has gone to Phuket (there for work??) for a company meeting (plus suntanning, eating, island hopping!!!)after about three weeks of not travelling.
Funny thing is, much as Mummy G is used to Daddy G's travels, the House of Gs feels funny tonight-as though something is missing. Don't you think lil' Tyann?
Even though the TV is switched on and Mummy G is talking to you right now, something feels missing isn't it?
The house of Gs is missing Daddy G tonight.
The TV is on, but there is no one (slouched) at the sofa watching it.
There are sounds (coming from the TV) in the house but its not the familiar NAGGING.
Daddy G dropped Mummy G an sms and said lil' Tyann must be missing his voice. I told him Lil' Tyann and I are both missing him already. You gave Mummy G a kick just as I was composing the sms as though in agreement. ;)
Tonight, Mummy G will have to sleep without the comforting touch of Daddy G's hands on Mummy G's tummy. Lil' Tyann will have to sleep without the familiar warmth of Daddy G's "talking" hands, where Daddy G speaks to you thru them.
But Lil' Tyann, this is love. Smell it. It's in the air.
