Baby Izzah has been going to nursery for 5 days! You’re a tough little baby, honey.

Nursery oh nursery!

Something not right happened on day one and I caught them by surprise.

You see, little Izzah slept all the way from home to TTDI on the first day. And, she was still sleeping in her night bodysuit when I left her.

I put in a bag all her clothes, diapers, towel, muslin, mittens and socks. And, put her feeding items (milk powder in dispenser, feeding bottles, hot water in a thermos and cold boiled water in a tupperware).

My office hour is from 8am to 5pm. However, that day I received an email saying that I was required to be in a meeting from 6.30pm to 8.00pm. Due to the nature of our business, the conference call is held at such a time to cater other participants from countries like China, Taiwan, Spain and USA.

So, I left the office early at 2.30pm to fetch my baby and send her home before returning to office.

The babysitters at the nursery looked surprised when I was there so early. But I just went upstairs to get my baby.

And, I was shocked to see my baby still sleeping in her night bodysuit!

They didn’t bath her, didn’t change her cloth and didn’t change her diaper at all!

The last time I changed her diaper was at 6am. So, it was like 9 hours with no change. Imagine how wet and heavy the diaper when I finally take it off her delicate butt?

And, I put the milk formula in three 3-slices milk powder dispenser. It was enough to feed her 9 times. But, only two slices were empty…. meaning she only been fed two times when she normally feed 6 times during the day!

I was so shocked that I just grabbed my smelly baby, put her in the car seat and drove home. My baby was babbling all the way home!

My husband called the owner the next day. And, she initially thought we were mad because the babysitters didn’t bath my baby before we take her home. She was extremely shocked to know that my baby is not bathed and her nappy not changed at all.

And, the next day.. one of the babysitter apologized saying that the newly-hired Indon lady didn’t understand her instruction. She said not to bath the baby so early because it is cold. And, the Indon lady thought not to bath at all? Huh!

Since the incident and since been reprimand by Puan Yati, the babysitters take good care of my baby. And, they better do because I will pop up at the nursery any time of the day for spotcheck!

Remember the 5.12 earthquake in China that happened in May this year? Almost all the TV channels broadcasted 24 hours non-stop of every development and stories of all the rescue operations in all damaged locations.

But you are probably unaware of many important and inside details which are only known to people inside China. Coco Wang wanted to help but has no knowledge in first-aids etc… so she decided to tell these touching stories by drawing
comics.

I received a few comic strips today from a friend. And, all the comic made me cried and cried. And cried… sob.. sob..sob!

This is the first comic strip that I read and it made me cried instantly. Have a look. And, think how blessed we are with the gift of life (and family).

If this mother’s sacrifice touches your heart, please tell other mothers to read this comic….

A happy life is not easy to find…
We have so many temptations and desires…
We are often lost and forget what is important…
We complain so much, we appreciate so little…
Only the fear of losing can teach us the joy of having..
The 12th May reminded us one very important thing…
A happy life can be found very easily…
If you treasure what you got!
