MY BABY'S S-I-C-K !

We have been having a very tough week or so as my baby is very very sick ... with high fever (reaching 41 degrees) & stuff. Don't really have the mood to blog much, just a simple update. Hari Raya's coming ... but I'm not really in the mood ... sigh! I guess I'm too pre-occupied with getting my son well again, that everything else is secondary.

Hope Ryan will recover in time for the New Year's celebration. Meanwhile, I am bloody exhausted & all that is ringing in my head is Ryan's ever-constant whining ... yes, my cutie-pie whines ... like there's no tomorrow (on most normal healthy days) & basically its in overdrive, now that he's super sick. I am but Ryan's humble servant ... but I take it all. Sometimes my patience runs thin (very thin) but I keep telling myself that its just a phase ... because he's sick, that he's being EXTRA whiny. Oh God! I really hope its just a phase.

Please pray for Ryan's health & for my sanity. Talk to you guys ... very soon!

ANNOUNCEMENT - NATIONAL LIBRARY

I am an ardent book lover. I just love to read! I think if I can't read, I might as well DIE ... haha! I'm that serious! I guess reading is a form of de-stressing for me, an outlet to "escape the realities" of life or you may call it, simply ... my hobby. I need to read (nearly everyday, really its true!), be it the local Straits Times, my constant supply of women's & parenting magazines, borrowed books & magazines from the local libraries, my precious books bought from bookstores like Borders, Kinokuniya or Popular (which I am a member of & buy very frquently from).

I am a voracious reader & I hope my son will be too! I am certain my thirst for knowledge & love for reading has helped me a whole lot in my studies, especially in the English Language & Literature. That is why I am a great supporter of reading & encourage everyone, young or senior, to pick up a book or any reading material ... & just read, read, read! I am keen to share my love for books with my son, when he grows up. Already now, I buy him tonnes of books to read & ponder. Though he's not really reading yet, I am hoping he will love to read, just like his Mummy! This is one thing I am willing to spoil him in .... a love for reading!

Since its the June school holidays, library members can borrow double the quota amount (usually its 4 but its extended to 8). So the greed in me was nearly satiated when I recently borrowed 13 + 1 hubby's books recently (using my & hubby's membership, Ryan has a card too!). Wow! we had a hard time carrying those heavy books home. Lucky, my dear hubby was willing to humour me, by helping me carry them ... hehe!

Anyway, came across these information on their website. It seems like soon (next month), we can borrow 6 items instead of 4 ... woo-hoo! (including audio-visuals too). I haven't checked out what stuff they stock, but keen to "investigate" the DVDs, CDs very soon. You can also renew your borrowed books or magazines (which I just did, easy-peasy!) on-line through their website for FREE (previously you had to pay a fee for each book). So convenient!

Their website is here : National Library

I hope everyone will come to love reading ... just like I do! Happy Reading !!!
