sleepless night...

we reached kuching around 10pm, the flight was slightly delayed.
it was drizzling when we reached and after 10mins, brian 二舅 came to pick us up from the arrival hall.

as mommy & daddy had an early dinner; we went to buy some supper on the way home - and brian 二舅 bought us delicious char kway teow & chicken wings!

when we reached grandpa & grandmama's house, they were all waiting for us. it was the first time for me to meet my cousins and to see my grandpa & grandmama after almost 8 months. grandpa can't wait to hug and kiss me but i was afraid of his moustache! GAH!!!

and it takes awhile for me to get used to the house as well... and both my cousins were also eager with me; but grandmama said i should be very tired and the playing can wait till tomorrow!

after mommy & daddy had their supper and i had my milk, we went to bed... and the ordeal started....

i was very upset as this is not the environment i was used too... the walls, the decor, the bed and the whole surroundings. i just couldn't sleep and was crying, wailing, sobbing continuously... mommy had to carry me up and down, hum me my lullaby numerous times and each time she thought i was ok and was about to put me down to bed, i'd started the whole crying cycle again... even daddy was very angry with me as he said i was totally tired out but still unwilling to sleep - and i was waking up the whole house, and maybe even the neighbours!!!

grandmama was worried and kept trying to find ways to pacify me but the sight of her (still a stranger to me) made matters even worst... coz my volume went UP when i saw her! GAH!!!

mommy was very patient and even brought me downstairs to look at the fishes, the christmas tree, let me play with the remotes, etc... but it didn't help much as i would continue my crying spree....

and finally by 4AM (yes, it was that long....) i finally dozed off in mommy's arms while she gently rocked me for almost an hour.... i guess i finally zonked out and ran out of tears and energy... and it was already the wee hours and i'm sure the rest of the family was totally relieved when my crying stopped... it was really a sleepless night everyone will not forget!!

mommy blamed herself for forgetting to bring the most important thing along - my beanie pillow!!
