Samuel, 17 months old

We went back to see Samuel last week. This time we took 1 day leave. So instead of 2 days, we spent 3 days with Samuel. We took the Thursday night flight back and came back here on Sunday night. We didn't check in any luggage this time so we didn't spent much time in the airport when we landed. Samuel was still awake when we reached home. *Happy*

~Samuel, 17 months old~

When I reached home, I quickly took a bath, changed into clean clothes and rushed to upstairs to hug my baby boy. He was in the room, playing with Grandma (my mom). I opened the door and called him, "Samuel... Mummy's back!". He turned his head and smiled at me when he saw me... He's so sweet and cute. I held out my arms and said,"Come... Mummy bao bao!" He walked to me and hold onto my neck... ooo.... He smelt so gooooood. :) I miss him.... a lot....

We brough him to the mall the next day, together with Mom and my sister. Mom warned me not to let him wear his shoes. I didn't listen to her as I thought maybe when we got tired of carrying him, we could let him walk on his own. We didn't bring the stroller, so after we walked for about 15 minutes, we let Samuel to walk on his own. Gosh!! The moment I let his feet touched the ground, he was like got "turbo" or something on his feet, he started running here and there, and he's fast! I got shocked and chased after him like a mad woman... He screamed out loud when we grabbed on him. We tried to distract his attention by showing him some nice stuff like, toys, posters... and we succeed. haha... We didn't spend long time in the mall, but we had great time. :)

Apart from the mall, I also brought him together with me for a lunch date with my ex-colleagues. It was fun to meet all of them. Samuel kind of shy when he saw all of them (actually just 5 of them). hahaha....

The happiest thing of all was hearing Samuel called me "ma ma"... It has been so long since I last heard him call me "Ma Ma"... Mom called me the next day after we came back to Penang. She said Samuel was looking for me the night we flew back to Penang. He woke up in the middle of the night, and walked towards the window and called "Ma Ma".... My mom was so sad and she cried... She held on Samuel and said, "Samuel dear... Mama is working. She will come back to see you next month, ok?" He looked at my mom and blinked his eyes... then went back to sleep.

I cried when my mom told me this. My little baby knows... he knows who his mom is and he misses his mom... just like the way I miss him....

I started counting the days again... looking forward for our next trip back to Kuching...
