joel’s full month.
Joel and Jerome shared the same edd date. Yh and me were still joking about sharing a double room and playing mahjong cards together if we were to bomb on the same day. heh. Jerome came earlier than expected at wk 37 & 4 days. Joel decided that he too, wants to join in the fun and popped out 2 days later, the day that I was to be discharged. I got a SMS from yh about her contractions at night when I was going to bed and I told her to monitor. I woke up at 6am and saw her text about her admitting and being in the…

jerome turns 1 month!
and just like that.. a month passed us by! happy 1 month, my little one! the day started early when we woke the kids, bathed them and packed them out of the house before 8.45am. for Jerome, bathing was done with pomelo and pomogranate (红花) leaves. ermm, the leaf was strategically placed. heh. his head looks really big in comparison to his tiny feet here! for me, I was up at 6am to help my mum pack the red eggs and ang gu kueh. my mum spent the night before cooking 140 eggs and coloring them. massive operation! I dressed Jerome in a customized romper that I made…

It’s Jerry.. No! It’s Richie Choo.
Private joke between the husband and me. We have gotten round to addressing our son as Richie Choo instead of Jerry Choo. He has amassed quite a fortune ever since he was born and the amount of gifts we have received since his birth has been pilling at one corner of my room and almost taking up all the walking space that’s available. I have no clue how to clear them and no space to store them! While some of the stuff won’t be useful till he’s older, the rest of the stuff we don’t really need so it’s quite a headache! Sigh. Anyway, Jerry got his first piece of…

Jerry’s full month party
Planning THE party has been quite the arduous task. Party venue woes aside, planning the guest list, sending out invites, deciding on the menus, ordering the full month cakes for relatives and the last minute works. Wow. And I thought it could be a simple affair. I am soooooooo wrong. Everyone wanted to turn up (and turn up they did!) and the party turned out to be quite a mayhem, packed to the brim, lack of food, guests going hungry, my relatives had to stand at the door to give way to others. Oh my… I feel like a bad host! First thing first, cakes. We had wanted to do…

of party woes
i really should have known better. after all, i organized that many events in my job but i didn’t do any prep work for the full month party until it was wayyyyyyy too late. *sigh* ok. it was also coupled with the fact that it was major adjustment on my end with my new role as a mother grappling on all baby-related issues, rolled together with all-time fatigue that i am feeling. man, it’s exhausting. besides, the man aint helping. he left everything to my device, didn’t help source or suggest anything at all (other than to provide the defacto venue suggestion) and didn’t give much comments even when presented…
