• Things kid says.

    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.…

  • conversations with the husband #4 and #5

    Conversations with the husband #4 Quick update: My little chub chub is still sick and running the possibility of a hospital admission. sigh. We are gonna nebulize him for 2 days in hope he gets better else we will be reporting to the hospital for admission. I do hope that doesn’t happen. it’s bad enough that both kids are sick and we blew 600+ at the doc’s today. mean while, I haven’t recorded the funny conversations with the husband for a while so here’s one. (I saw a really cute girl on the streets and wished I could have a girl..) me: if we had a girl, would you dote…

  • Baking Jellyhearts (no bake jelly hearts recipe)

    **long overdue post**   found a half written entry in my phone so decided to finish it up and post it!   //   Every time I mention i’m “baking” jelly hearts, I’m actually in a dilemma because no actual baking is required. Lol. but its considering a baking project, no?   i recently have been making a lot of jelly hearts, and almost on a weekly basis when I invite friends over to the new abode for a party – have drinks and wine, chill, make merry and enjoy each other’s company. or maybe you can call it housewarming but each time, I invite only a specific group of…

  • teacher’s day presents.

    and so, tomorrow is teacher’s day. if you have school going children like me, have you prepped the presents? or has it been a really tedious process, pondering about what presents to give them?   or maybe, you have no intentions of doing anything at all? Lol.   i do feel people these days are, in general, more critical then appreciative towards everyone around them. or it could have been the wide spread use of social media which has amplified the negative voices. I know I am fully guilty of dishing out complaints a lot more than praises or compliments on a daily basis. its so much easier to complain,…

  • happy birthday to me.

    some weeks back, I turned another year older. uneventfully. I think birthdays get a whole lot more toned down as I age. I spent the day on a quick date with the husb, out watching hossan leong’s stand up comedy and had loads of laughter for company. had a quick dinner before we zipped home for the kids. thank you all who sent well wishes and greetings my way through fb, text messages, whatsapp, IG and all other social platforms, thank you very much. I may not have replied them all, but I read every single one of them and feel very much loved.   the highlight of the day…

  • jerome turns 6 months.

    my chubby baby turned 6 months old a couple of days back, just like that. has it really been half a year? and just for the stats, he is currently at 8.05kg, way heavier as compared to jerry at the same age and I really love all his chubby fats. feels like a squishy bear all the time when I hug him. his head circumference is 42cm and height is 66cm tall.   this baby is a loud and noisy one. he is constantly trying to blabber something or shrieks and screams when he is unhappy. he revels in human touch. if you leave him alone, he screams and demand…

  • Jerry under the bolster

    conversations with the husband #3

    Conversations with the husband #3 after a super frustrating bedtime routine with a toddler who simply refused to sleep for > 2 hours.. my tempers were flaring and I really was on the verge of strangling him or giving him away to another family. I was so tired, super sick and I badly wanted to grab some rest. so after loads of struggles, cries, whines, disciplinary acts and hugging daddy’s leg. I ignored him for the longest time and he fell asleep.  in the above position, over my blanket but under my bolster.   daddy and I finally sat down to have dinner at close to midnight, packed his school…

  • #fmsphotoaday :: 2 july :: shoes

    totally embarrassed to admit this but I have many brand new shoes sitting around the house, waiting to be worn.. and this is just one of those pairs.   am I alone? tell me I’m not alone in this ‘I need to get that pair of shoes, but I only have 1 pair of feet to wear them all’ situation.   OK. actually. I blame the pregnancy because it sucked the opportunity out of me to wear these pretty heels.   and yeah, I’m gonna bring them out to play! Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

  • at 25 months (2 year 1 month old), it happened.

    jerry fighting in school/childcare. I expected this would happen someday because boys would be boys right? but at this young tender age? *in disbelief*  I dont quite believe that jerry would bite anyone unprovoked. and someone 3 years his senior? he must be freaking upset or angry.   he has a huge scratch across his nose and it looks pretty deep. I hope there wont be scars.   I am sooooo gonna go to the school tomorrow morning to find out what happened.    ******* p.s. yes. I call my husband “my angel”. you can laugh.  im perfectly cool with you laughing at me. Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.
