A visit to the S.E.A Aquarium.
i have a love for aquariums, and all kinds of marine life if you haven’t already know. but no, i’m not a diver, not yet. or maybe i’ll never be.. who knows? but it doesnt matter. For now, i’m happy checking out the aquariums all over the world. and when S.E.A aquarium opened, i kept bugging the husband to go but we never found the chance with him being really busy at work (and unable to take leave) and us burning our every single weekend to settle the house furniture/electronics and renovations matters. So on Jerry’s birthday, we had wanted to bring him to have some water play fun at…

my mother’s present!
my mother’s day couldnt have started more splendidly for me, especially when I thought nothing exciting was happening except that my family is going for brunch before my brother flies off for another vacation. how wrong I was. and how pleasantly surprised I was. these days, with jerry in school.. we no longer have to sleep battles to fight. no, scratch that. we have shorter sleep battles to fight because he usually goes down before 9.30pm (so do we, in fact). so when mother’s day came round at midnight, I woke from my nap and was quietly surfing the net on my phone while all my boys…

小鸟。
yesterday, we were strolling along in mbs mall and suddenly der said, “hey, hey, look at the 小鸟!它一直在变(look at the small bird, it keeps changing)”. I stared and stared… and I could see no bird. I even scrutinised everyone walking pass to see if they were carrying a bird. no bird at all! me: 哪里有鸟? (where is the bird?)der: there! up there! me: looks up and sees the *chanel* logo blinking in intervals across the entire panel. grrr.. can I say this is NOT the first time he pulled this 小鸟joke on me????? totally not funny…………… ok lah, I admit. quite funny but SUPER IRRITATING!!!!!!! …

Jerry turns TWO!
this year, i feel guilty about NOT PLANNING his birthday celebration. after the huge spongebob party last year (read about the preparations here), we were simply too overwhelmed with the other events of our lives (caring for a new baby, renovations works, overseas biz trip and reservist for der etc) to find time prepping for it. i had grand ideas of giving him a polw celebration in sentosa but realised that i don’t know enough kids to send invitation to (party package starts from 20 kids onwards). so, we did nothing except to plan for a family only celebration, together with my nephew Levon who’s birthday falls on the same…

happy mother’s day.
jerry came home from school today with a mother’s day present for me.. so sweet! so I heard he helped in mixing and stirring the batter.. brought a smile to my face. when I got home.. guess what happened? I found him nomming on the little muffins! I asked to share and he rejected me! and then proceeding to stuff everything (including the muffin liners) into his mouth! ohhh.. how nice he is. I guess my present is a good laugh instead. what I really would like is that my boys grow up healthily, stay happy, let me have at least 5hrs stretch of sleep at…

Jerry feeds himself breakfast in school!
finally, Jerry survives a week in childcare! this morning, the husband dropped him at the door and he wailed for about 30 secs before recovering himself, and all is good thereafter. we cannot be more proud. When i picked him up in the evening, the teacher updated me that there was no tears when he woke up from his nap, but he, as usual napped for a much shorter period than his peers. all is good. I am going to extend his timing and pick him up at 6pm from next week onwards. ending this post with a video i took on wednesday where jerry feeds himself breakfast! Have a…

because everyone (or mum) needs a little pampering.
with jerry starting childcare this week, I finally have a wee bit of time to relax a little without having both the toddler and baby demanding my attention! im heading back to work in EXACTLY 10 days, and seriously, time just passed sooooo fast, I dont remember achieving much in the past 3 months.. except spending loads of time with jerry. while I feel tired constantly, its amazing to watch him grow and develop a little everyday and I know its been beneficial to him as well because he has learnt so much in the past 3 months. I cannot be more thankful for the time spent with him. …

day 2, 3 and 4 of childcare.
jerry just finished day 4 of childcare and over the few days, there were a little progress along the way, everyday. both daddy & me were proud of his little achievements because im sure, its a big thing someone his age! on day 1, we hung around for about 2hrs and snuck away while he was playing with toys at childcare. it was only for 2 hours and just enough time for us to have eat breakfast and pop over to our new abode to check on the renovation progress. we brought him home after he had his bath and before the nap time. no tears. on day…

jerome plays with sir prance-a-lot
At 3.5 months, jerome is getting a little more interactive with his surroundings. my mum hung a lamaze toy in front of him this afternoon while she went about her chores and he started putting out his hand to push it. although he did miss a few times before he actually hit the swinging toy, i was silently rooting his each attempt. too cute! I suddenly have a flashed back memory of jerry doing the same thing not too long ago.. but he is so grown up now! gotta cherish these baby moments before they are all gone!

Jerry’s first day of school/childcare!
Today is such a momentous day. It marks jerry’s first day of school/childcare. It is also an extremely emotional day for me, which I hadn’t expected I would feel this way. Come to think of it, I spent quite a bit of effort in prepping for his big day, from putting him on wait list, to bugging the schools in giving me a slot, to getting all the enrollment papers done, buying his uniform, his school bag, buying new toiletries/towels etc to be used in the school, ironing on his name labels on everything to packing his bag last night. It was a tedious process, but nothing quite prepared me…
