5 years ago today, I was awake for 36 hours.

The day before I stayed up till midnight to watch a movie on TV. Then I spent a few more hours reading in bed. Then I started to have upset stomach and soon enough contractions.

By 4 am, I decided that my contractions were regular and short in between and I got my parents to send me to the clinic.

4 hours later, Eu was born!

10 hours later, I was released to go home. The moment I reached home, I slept straightaway. So on that first night that she was home, Eu was cared for by my mother and my husband.

Until I woke up early the next morning to see her already awake, quietly looking around the room.

Eu was an easy child to care for and from early on, she charmed everyone and instinctively learn to smile and laugh even from the very beginning.

Eu was laughing hard when my sister sang to her

5 years later, she is now an articulate and articulate, “facts” dispenser, creative, sings well, smart-talking dealmaker and artistic.

5 years later and she brings a smile to my face when she sometimes ask that I call her “Sayang” and “Baby girl” to remind her and me that she is still my baby.

She has grown to have a distinctive fashion sense (long sleeve inside a dress with a long skirt underneath is one of her favorite combination) but there are times when I wish I can still carry her on my arm.

She can drive me mad sometimes with her “special ways” of doing things but I am also thankful that she is very demonstrative in her affections.

We are indeed blessed to have her in our lives and we look forward to following her journey in life.
