  • Things Jerry Says #13 – Greedy kid wants chocolate.

    May 21, 2014 /

    Things Jerry says #13 happened on a day when we were all at home chilling and just not doing much. Daddy emptied his pockets and left a $1 gold coin lying around our dinner table. We never thought much about it but Jerry appeared in front of me some time later.. J: (shows me the $1 in his palm) can you open for me please? C: Huh? Open? What is there to open? J: Can you open the chocolate please? C: (after 2 secs of silence) Orrrr.. jerry! This is not a chocolate coin! This is the real money! J: Mummy, but.. I want to eat. *insert sad face* Totally funny.…

  • I’m wrong. So so wrong.

    May 17, 2014 /

    So I got it all wrong. I don’t know if I ever mentioned this before. . But jerry has got this really irritating habit when he sleeps. He likes to climb on top of me, my legs, my butt and just wedge himself at any corner or nook that he can find between my body/arms/legs and all if he is co-sleeping with me. It’s bloody irritating to me because I cannot sleep with him pressing down on me! At all! He hasn’t been co-sleeping much with me now that we are staying in our own place, but I sometimes find him on my bed in the mornings. He wakes in…

  • Jerry turns 3 years old!

    May 9, 2014 /

    Happy 3rd Birthday, Jerry!  Mummy & Daddy loves you loads! p.s. Just be more obedient and listen to us ok?  My precious first born, Jerry turned 3 years old earlier this week on 5 May. We held 3 separate celebrations for him, one for my relatives, one for der’s relatives and one at the school. It was a weekend of madness and I am still trying to recover from all. The blog has taken a back seat this week because I have been so tired out from fighting sleep issues with Jerry in recent weeks, and he has been up way past midnight.. at 1am? 1.30am? 2.30am? He is at the…

    All set for CNY with FOX Kids and Baby!

    January 27, 2014 /

    *Sponsored post with Fox Kids and Baby* Honestly, the CNY mood has yet to descend on me yet. Did somebody say Chinese New Year is just 5 DAYS away? There are so much chores to be done in the household still and i think we wont feel much of a festive mood since the husband is the kind that wouldn’t want any CNY decor in the house. We are pretty much busy bees this weekend trying to cram in last minute stuff – hair cuts, change of bedsheets, packing up the messy bits of the house, and getting ready the red packets for the new year. But there is one thing…

    Parents Teachers Meeting for Jerry.

    January 12, 2014 /

    Parents teachers meeting or teachers parents meeting? I can never ever remember which is which… but i guess it doesnt matter anyway. You guys know what i am talking about right? Towards the very end of last year.. Der & me went for our second PTM. Well, what we heard isnt surprising – he has a very comprehensive vocabulary for his age, can understand and speak most of what the teachers and everyone else is saying, but have a issue with following instructions (HA!) and routines. his gross and fine motor skills are shining through as well and he loves to play with wooden blocks and puzzles , but i…

    Polyvore – All about Kids’ Fashion with FOX Kids & Baby

    December 28, 2013 /

    I can’t tell you how thankful i am that my kids clothes are sponsored by kids’ fashion brand FOX Kids & Baby. FOX Kids & Baby clothes are one of the more affordable fashionable brands in the market and i totally love their shop accessibility – I can find them in most of the malls that i hang out at! It’s been a couple of months now and each month, there is something new on the shelves to buy! We have amassed quite a bit of stuff so i thought.. i could do a polyvore styled collection! Except that i’m too busy to take individual pictures and put them together so…

    The hfmd cases in Jerry’s school has spiked to 7 cases. The husband and I decided we are going to keep him away for a while, just for the safety measure so he is going shopping with his nai nai today since a distant relative is in town.   and while we were leaving the house earlier.. This little kid really makes my day.   (while I was closing the door and locking up, the husband walks to the lift lobby and asked jerry to follow.. )   jerry goes, “wait! papa wait! wait for mummy to lock the door!!” he stood firmly beside me while I quickly locked up.…

    …NOT! It’s more like crawling down the runway, but…. jerome isn’t one of the models, even though he was decked in FOX’s gear that day.. I just plonked him there cos i thought it was really funny when he looked like he was relishing in all the attention and enjoying himself! totally rocking it on the (almost) empty runway. so, potential model to be?? i really love this round little meat ball of mine – all his squishy fats and cuddly body. makes me want to give him a tight squeeze every single time. some weeks back, i was invited to the FOX Kids Fall/Winter Fashion Show held at Paragon…

    such an angel when he is sleeping….   but a terrible devil when awake. he is so hyper, so filled with mischief and energy.. I often think if he was sent to me to test my patience and teach me to be a better person.   today, the husband shared this little story with me…   (my mil fetches my son home from the childcare centre every day after work, and between the blocks, she would pass by a mama shop at the void deck). jerry: (upon seeing mama shop) Nai Nai, you got bring money? mother-in-law (mil): no. jerry: go home take. mil: no. tomorrow then buy. what you…
