Behind the Scene...

It has been a long journey for Sharon & Jefri.... and with the arrival of their new bundle of joy, Baby Zara... lets rewind abit on the preparation and the anticipation.....

The Preparation

Rosie and myself for weeks have been rounding up friends who wanted to contribute in showing our love to Sharon & Jefri for the arrival of Zara.... and with overwhelming response... we manage to get a gorgeous baby crib, comforter with baby pillow & bolster, breast pump and a whole lot of baby equipment including a glow-in-the-dark pacifier!!!

Contributors to these wonderful gifts are:

Amal, Bahrin, Barry, Gerry, Hui Ling, Jasmine, Mawar, Mei Lan, Nancy, Pipi, Pris, Rosie, Suffian, Sujee, Wuei and Yazid.

And by the way, Sharon & Jefri express their deepest appreciation and thanks... including Baby Zara!!!

The Waiting

On 15 March, a few of us visited Sharon as she checked into the hospital.

The Goofing Around

Like any gathering we had, irrespective of where we are, there is bound to be food and alot of fun!!! Even the "cheeky girls" did special showing.... and thats another story....

The Anticipation

After numerous check ups, it was time for Sharon to prepare herself for the cut.....

The Joy

At the end of it, it was all worth it to finally see and hold what we have all waited for.... Baby Zara...

Baby Zara

At around 10.50pm, 16 March 2007, our dear Sharon gave birth to Baby Zara. It wasnt an easy birth as Baby Zara was due on the 14 March. After inducment on the 15 March night, Sharon wasnt dilated enough. Her water broke (also inducement) at around 10.30am but around 9.30pm (almost 11 hours later!!!), the doctor said that they had no choice but to do a C-Section on her. It was a quick operation and lasted for less then 30mins.

Mummy Sharon is so exhausted and could not stay awake after the surgery which by the way was on local!!! Yes, she was awake throughout the whole surgery.

Congratulations to the new Papa Jefri and Mama Sharon!!!!

Brunei Bean...

Even I myself can't remember when was the last time I blogged on.... my apologies....

The pressure is on for me at work but I am sure with persistence, hard work and a really thick skin, I can persevere and possibly up the performance!!!

Apart from that, work and no play makes Jack a dull boy... so, this is what I have been up to at Rosie's birthday party theme.... Red Carpet... in line with the oscars....

As usual I was really stressed out deciding what I should be coming as... I know that most of them will be glamorously dolled up.. but me being me... This is what I came up with...

And here's the birthday girl... with the boys.... (the paparazzi couldn't stay away of course...)
