Hello, again.

It's been awhile.

... since I last blogged.

Disclaimer: this blog is still in progress as of today, but I am just penning this down in a blog post so I can officially say this blog is sorta alive.

The reason why I am back to blogging is cos...

1. I am now a SAHM;
   
   Yep, I am now a mommy of one. And I am also a full-time SAHM..


2. I am kinda free;
   
   Not really, but it's more like I am at home most of the time so I would like to have something to do. To be honest, I still have my masters dissertation to complete ASAP so I have no idea why I would rather blog than to complete my dissertation :/


3. I want to write a diary again.
   
   So I can read them in 10 years' time or so then laugh at myself. If only I didn't stop blogging, I would have more than 10 years worth of entries, and I could read how naive I was (jokes, I still feel I am still quite naive) I felt, and what I was doing.
4. I think I should blog properly.
   
   I've been 'blogging' on Dayre for 3 years now, and I have not stopped. Sometimes I tend to do a lengthy post on Dayre which I think it is more appropriate to be on a blog instead. So I am trying to segregate my posts so it'll be neater. *fingers crossed* Dayre have been so convenient cos I didn't have to open my laptop to type out a post. All I need to do is type whatever I want on the Dayre app and voila, an entry with pictures. So effortless. I don't even have to transfer any pictures to my laptop to type out an entry with pictures. (Let's face it - a post without pictures is kinda boring. Like this post. But I promise I will try to add some pictures to every post to make it lively / easier to read.)

Knowing that I am about to start blogging again excites me cos I feel that ever since I became a mom:

1. I'm losing my purpose in life.
   
   Cos I feel so tired all the time from feeding (both bottle and direct-latching), pacifying (when she cries), pumping milk, sterilising milk bottles and pump parts, etc all day long for my 3.5 months old baby. It's what "you know no day nor night" sorta feeling.
2. I feel "lonely".
   
   In a way cos I don't have many mommy friends to talk with. So the aim of this blog is to reach out to more mommies to build my social network in UK. I don't mind mommies and non-mommies. The point is - to know more people. 😊 The struggle is real cos I can get quite depressed not knowing any mommy friends to chat with, plus most of my friends are back in Malaysia while I am in UK.

So yep.. a toast to a happy new year. And more positivity in life!

For now, I plan to blog about a few things such as my birth story, pregnancy, my baby's (#babyAimee) skin infection, etc before I forget. Unfortunately (or fortunately? :p) my blog will be filled with mainly mommy and baby posts for a moment. I will also blog about other stuff like shopping haul, etc too so do check this blog out from time to time. 😜

I guess that's it for now.

See ya later! ♥
