• 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…

  • Cheap thrill, really!

    Before I forget.. Just an interesting trivial for my records.. The whole Singapore is out of stock for cotton disposable undies! Have been searching for weeks across the various guardian pharmacies and watsons and today, a nice shop assistant in guardian confirmed that the stocks are out for the past one month! The only ones available are in paper quality which I am refusing to accept. Oh wells, so much so for prepping my hospital bag. Am going to send the boy to help me buy in msia.. I saw it the other day but ran out of my size. Did anyone realized that it’s a freaking hot day today?…

  • Bad day and bird’s spit.

    I declare today as one of them bad days. I have resigned myself to one of those that will vomit well into the 3rd trimester. I’m about 2 weeks away from that and still vomiting on random days. I get triggered easily by foul smell or some strong smelling food and this morning, I got triggered by someone’s bad breath and spent the whole day feeling sick and pukey. Had to leave work early on the dot to head home and rest. Still feeling sickly now and I don’t think I can stomach anything for today. And my mil sent over some bird’s nest for me! =) Shall take them…

  • bored and home alone

    with my supposedly dinner appointment cancelled and me being a pack of lazy bones, i am home alone today. the family have set off for grandpa’s place in rengam before day break (damn! should have gone along if i knew the appointment will be cancelled). i feel guilty for being so busy and not visiting my grandparents as much as i should, even though each time, i look forward to the glorious food galore there. the family wont be back till tomorrow, and with the boy in europe.. life is suddenly very still at the moment, especially with the change of plans. nonetheless, i have set aside a whole list…

  • Horrible Christmas Presents

    from me. we bought this really cute elephant and rabbit that moves and make animal noises for both joel and chloe respectively. joel was kinda afraid of the elephant trumpeting, but didnt cry. Chloe had a horror day and was desperately escaping from the rabbit. You can view video of chloe and the happenings here. after giving the presents, we then realised that its for 3 years and up.. and the kids are probably too young for the toys. guess that’s something i need to look out for when i buy presents for kids next time. i am such a kid-idiot.

  • my other new toy for christmas

    havent found much time to do blogging these days. am still rather swapped with work and with the festive season round the corner, i had been busy being the christmas elf going shopping for presents and spending a lot of time wrapping them. plus, attending the various parties and meet-up with friends. its amusing that shuyu pointed out the other day when we met up that i seemed to be running from point a to b to c, non stop. tiring i must admit, but time is too short, work is too much, there are just too many things to be done these days. =( some of you may have…

  • i need some bits of cheer!

    am doing some self-cheering up and take my mind of work for some 10 mins. my head is hurting from too much stress and because there are still quite a bit to do, i need a breather. and yup, here’s some happy things. on the recent trip to south africa, i was eyeing this dior make up kit from kris shop but i didnt manage to purchase because i was enjoying the movies thinking that i have the entire journey but conveniently forgotten about it. so, i got the boy who was travelling the day i got back to help me buy! it came much bigger than i expected it…

  • the weekend.

    these days, the weekend goes by in a flash! the weekend saw more jewellery shopping and it’s no where near improving things as per last weekend. i guess we are pretty decided on the kind of designs that we could consider, the specific ones and possibly customizing one side of it. his side. // friday night. the 3 musketeers go out to play. we popped by greenwood fish market and bistro. WOW! has it been ages since i last went there? the place expanded so much that I almost couldn’t recognise what used to be a cosy nook. and despite increasing the sitting capacity by 200%, they are still turning…
