jerry, the angel.
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…

Some time back, i shared about happiness and a video that a bunch of students did. today, i want to share about this article that i came across which spoke to me. there are a few of those pointers in there that really spoke to me. I think it applies for many of you out there too, so yup. here’s 30 things to stop doing to yourself, taken from where i first seen it and written by marcandangel. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but…

unpleasant experience in ikea – using the baby room.
ever since the incident happened, i haven’t been feeling great and i needed to rant about it. the thought of it irks me to no end. so ya, warning given. rant ahead. I really, needed to get this off my chest. so, the renovations are almost done and the husband and me have been frequenting ikea lately in between whatever bits of time we could spare. on one of those week days where i had to take leave to care for the kid, the husband decided that we should make use of the time to visit ikea since jerry is at school and logistically, it’s much easier to manage the…

about happiness.
this is a topic that i feel very strongly about. after living so many years (i almost revealed my age! HAHA) being a student, being in the work force, getting married, having kids… i just feel. nothing else matters other than happiness. i met this bunch of students with a lot of passion some time back in the course of my work. I could relate strongly to what they wanted to do, how much they felt for their final year project, and how, they wanted to make a difference. and here’s a video of their hardwork. and i was glad to have met them. they reminded me about happiness. …

Solo parenting stint.
via the husband is off again on his business trips and i have the week to struggle on solo parenting. honestly, it wasnt that bad when i was on maternity leave. now, with me back at work with 2 kids and more prep work required in getting jerry to school at the same time… i think i am struggling to cope. the daunting thoughts of waking up early, expressing milk, washing the bottles and popping them into the sterilizer, feeding jerry his milk, changing him into his uniforms, feeding jerome and getting ready for work myself feels like i need an entire morning. and i have to get out by…

random tidbits about building a new home.
i am sooo tired lately, and have been getting bad dizzy spells and headaches. am dreading the coming weeks for a couple of reasons: 1. My mum would be away for a ear surgery in 7 days, which means i need to stake out alone with 2 kids for at least 4 days (non-stop) while she is at the hospital. 2. The same week that my mum is away, my brother is travelling, which means, i don’t have anyone to help me buy food either. 3. der just told me that he won’t be able to take leave/come home earlier that week because he is rushing for launch. major BOO.…

verbal diarrhea..
because there is a need to. I realised what i really really missed lately was blogging via my laptop. ever since jerry has started watching the youtube vids on my macbook (i try to keep to those educational ones), i have lost control and usage of it totally. and those are the only pockets of time i really have to spare for blogging. Blogging via the phone is quite frustrating to type (and painfully slow) and i often lose the draft entry when the app crashes (argh!). not to mention that the pictures sizes uploaded are all weird and sometimes crappy (when my image settings miraculously got resetted to default).…

FTWM is me. and about constantly juggling.
after having 2 kids, being a ftwm isn’t really a choice for me. it’s the default option that i have to choose because of ONE reason. Being financially sound. with the current cost of living in singapore, the bills that we have to pay, the insurance/medical fees/school fees for the kids, the house and whatever cost necessary to build our own home just isn’t possible with a single income (at least not with any of our income). and let’s just not going into the quality of living or us indulging in whatever luxury that we can afford (e.g. travels, new gadgets). well, thing is.. i actually think being a ftwm…
