Season Greetings from Amber Chia

I’m in Sandakan, Sabah right now, I’m not in KL, and this will be the first time I will be away from my son for so long, 2-3 days, and I miss him a lot now. Now I can feel, you know, how a mother misses her son when she is away. I did call back just now, and my mom said my son is already sleeping, about 9 something, so I couldn’t talk to him.

So you want to hear him cry and all that ?
No. I remember that when I was in Penang, my husband call my son to talk to me, even if I don’t know what he is talking about but when I turn on my speaker phone, my husband told me that he was looking around and looking for me when he hears my voice. So, unfortunately today I have a packed schedule, so when I called my parents, he has already gone to sleep. So, I miss him a lot and I’m sure he’s going to miss me as well.

And when I called my parents, my mom told me that this morning when she took my son for a walk outside my house, and my mother bumped into one of her friends and the other aunty just hugged my son and my son was crying, because he is starting to know how to recognize people. Kids learn very fast. I think it’s pretty amazing because at his age (about 2 months, 3 weeks) he is already starting to recognize people. I’m scared if I don’t see him for 2 days he is going to forget me! I’m looking at his photos, and I miss him and I wanted to go home! But I have to work. I’m not going to breastfeed my son for 2 nights, and also I’m not going to see him for 2 days, so I really miss him a lot.

So what will you do the first thing you get home ?
Oh. The first thing, I will hug him and talk to him! When I get home on Sunday, definitely, that is going to be the first thing I want to do when I am home. And I believe this is the feeling of motherhood, and I believe my son is going to miss me as well, even though he doesn’t know how to tell me or tell my parents. My mom says that he was curious, tonight you are not here, he keep looking for you, looking around the house before he sleep.

Any plans to go for holiday with your baby, this holiday season ?
Christmas is coming, and also my birthday is coming as well in another few days, and every year during my birthday I stop working, I try to cancel all my assignments, push all my assignments to another date if I could, I try to let myself rest for a day. My birthday wish, I just want to accompany my baby for the whole day, and bring him shopping.

Actually I brought my son to Pavilion, for Christmas shopping, I bought him a lot of new clothes, just yesterday. We went to, you know Pavilion mall they have a section with a lot of baby outfits, I was in Pumpkin Patch, Guess Kids. I bought him lots and lots of clothes, because he grows so fast, a lot of newborn outfit already cannot wear. When I heard from my mother that, the clothes that he is wearing already become too small, too tight, he don’t like to wear, and I was so happy, I was like “Wow, he grow so fast! Then, let’s go shopping.” And I bought him a lot of pretty nice outfits, and we had a good time shopping yesterday as well, and when puts on an outfit he looks so handsome, I think my son is very handsome, the most handsome guy in the world.

Also, when I brought him for Christmas shopping, there was a lot of beautiful decoration in Pavilion centre court, and when I brought him there, there was a Santa Clause, and he was just so excited and looking around, he’s so happy, he likes to go out, he loves shopping.

Actually, two days ago I told my maid that I wanted to bring my baby shopping, and I called my maid to change my baby. But my maid mixed up the day, she thought its two days ago. Actually I told her it was yesterday, and she changed my baby, and after changing I was still at a shoot and still haven’t got home, and my mom called me that “You want to bring baby out right? Your baby and the maid is waiting for you.” And I said, “Its not today mommy, its tomorrow, and I think she got the date wrong”. In the end my maid help my baby to change back the outfit, and the baby was crying, and my mum said he’s not happy because he thought I can go out for shopping, and she had to start taking out the outfit and the socks, and the shoes as well, I bought a small shoe, a very cute shoe for him, and he started crying. Because he knew that he was going to go out soon after changing, but in the end my maid took out everything, and he knows that he is not going out, and he cries. And eventually when I got home, he was kind of like angry, he was just not happy that he’s not going out. So I have to keep telling him that “Ok mommy will take you out tomorrow, it’s not today, I’m sorry mommy got the wrong date.” The next day when I change for him, he was just so happy and so excited to go out. And he loves shopping, this is the third time I bring him out for shopping actually.

I think kids now are very smart, and my baby is very alert though, even the doctor says my baby is very alert, which is very good. And I think these days the kids are very very smart, and they learn things faster than we do, everyday they learn different things, like my mom told me today, he starting to know how to recognize people already, because he don’t like strangers to hug him, so I was like, “Ok, kids learn so fast”. For now he doesn’t know how to cry yet, still ok, I can still go out for work, but I’m sure in another few months when I go out he definitely will cry, and I’m abit worried, I don’t know how to, you know, go to work, if he is crying!

It’s just like this morning, I tell him that, “Ok, mommy go off and mommy come back, two days ok, you wait for mommy two days at home, mommy come back.” And he is not crying, he is still “Uh uh uh uh” he don’t know I’m going out. But I’m sure another few months later when he knows I want to go out, he definitely want to follow, because I can tell, he loves shopping, he loves to go out, he wants to go out! And when he goes out, he is so excited and he is so happy, he is looking around, the Santa Claus, the Christmas tree, and he is just so happy, he wants to look, so sometimes I put him on the trolley or on the chair, he don’t like it, he wanted me to hug him and he can see. He wanted to see and look, and I think I have a baby who loves shopping.

I think this Christmas and new year I won’t be away because my baby is still very young, I will accompany him in KL. Maybe I will to the shopping mall Pavilion or somewhere around KL, you know, for countdown during Christmas, so whoever that happens to shop in Pavilion somewhere they might bump into me. I cannot travel, my baby still so tiny, so small, so I think I will be in KL. This will be the first time I celebrate Christmas and new year with my son, and my birthday as well, so I’m really looking forward and I’m pretty excited. I believe I will have a great time and memorable moment with my son, because it’s my first time celebrating Christmas, new year and my birthday with my son.

Also, I want to wish everyone have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And for those who have baby, I believe they have the same wish as well, like me, just to wish that the baby is going to be happier and healthier. So this is the wish I have for my son, I just want him to be happy and healthy and grow up faster.
