This was taken about an hour after Sebas was born. Isn't he adorable? I love babies!

Celebrate!

My exams are over! I'm free!

Til next week (when I start my internship with FEMALE), that is. So that's 5-5.5 days a week til December 24th and then it's off to the land of klompen, windmolen and the guy who cut his ears off (Van Gogh, everytime I try to pronounce that, I feel like a cat coughing out a hairball...).

I met Maartje on MSN today and she said Sebas cried a lot and lost weight last week. I hope Sebas is OK. Sometimes I get really scared that I'll be taking care of a 2.5 month old (that's how old he'll be when I get there). Here I am, having never even touched a baby since I was 10 (cousin) in sole charge of a 3 month old wrinkly bundle. It scares me. But I was honest with the parents and they told me that they're first-time parents and they had to learn everything from scratch too. They said that they would teach me and supervise me the first week (Maartje goes back to work in January) and that I can call them anytime (Maartje works only 100 metres away and Walter's 10 minutes away). I know I'll take good care of the baby , I just really hope it doesn't suddenly get sick or something (you never know with babies...).

I sometimes wonder why this family picked me. I reckon I'm more expensive than an Eastern European au pair (air ticket +visa =1700 euro) and I dont' have a lot of experience. At one time, I wondered if they really were a real family or a sex ring or something . Now I've seen pictures and have talked to them, I'm sure they're real. Actually I know it'll all be OK and I'm just so excited about it!

Now all I have to do is write some query letters to some magazines so that I get a regular column . I mean, wa-hey, I know I live a great life! How many Malaysians get to do this or have the guts to do things like this? Pretty much none;) W00t.

OK this is boring but I love R so much:) He's the best guy ever.

Hermit-dom

I have to make a confession.

I spent 6 straight hours watching Sex in the City on DVD. It looks like I've finally achieved it. I'm a hermit of terrifying proportions. I'll grow old and the kids in the neighbourhood will know me as the weird old lady who pushes a cart filled with garbage and plastic bags and who owns 10 cats.

I finally found a copy of Citta Bella at myNews cafe on Friday. Pardonnez moi but since when do English-speaking/writing journalists get sent to Chinese-language magazines? Especially when said (future)journalist can barely write her name and speaks a total of 3 words (i.e. ni how ma) ? Just because I'm the only eejit in class without a Christian name doesn't mean I eat out of porcelain bowls and wear red *grmbl*.

It's October 3rd atm and I'm wondering about my au pair family. I haven't heard from them for a few days and I think it's because she's given birth! woot. I can't wait to see pictures :D

3 in the morning. Can't sleep. blaat. Just got off the phone with Julz(she never sleeps til 5am everyday;) )

i'm bored. bored. bored.
