And that means I can't get to see baby Sarah until I am fully recovered!
I am beginning to be fearful of things (perhaps its not exactly fear even though I use the word 怕怕）which have never quite bother me, blinking lights in particular seem to be one common trigger of my so-called fear. It can be found on the wireless router, neighbour's lighting outside the windows as Hari Raya is approaching - but the worst fear ever exhibited happens during a night of thunderstorm and lightning. Mommy vividly remembers that on the wee morning of 23rd of Aug, I roll over to Mommy, screaming 怕怕, 怕怕 and simply wont let go of Mommy despite her repeated reassurance. Mommy has to hug this little frightened baby until she falls asleep again, and this happened the next 2 consecutive nights - and thankfully its only a short phase!
