Food

It’s all about food!

Finally, my boy knocks out in bed and I can have some free time to myself for a while before the husband comes home and the next window for expressing breastmilk/washing of bottles rolls along. I am beginning to think I am so not suited for motherhood and I think I lack maternal instincts!

I am soooo tired that I am grateful for any moment that the baby is taken off my hands. But I feel terribly guilty for feeling that way afterwards. how do you mothers do it? I feel like I have nothing else left in me and no energy to go on. The only times that I find myself happier is when I head out.

And oh. I keep having dizzy spells lately. Wonder if it’s because my sugar level is low. It happens on the days where I didn’t have much to eat or when I don’t have much appetite.

Anyhow, this post is about food. Heh. Just food shots taken over the past few weeks.

Home-made sandwiches. I have been having a lot of these lately because it’s so simple and fast to whip up. My mum is also drained by the kiddo so she is too tired to cook as well. Just throw the bread with a slice of cheese in the toaster over, pan fry a piece of ham and an egg, layer the bread with lettuce and tomatoes and loads of mayonnaise and it’s ready to eat. Quick, yummy and filling.

We were in medi-ya the other day and I saw this packet of squid ink spaghetti that cost a friggin’ $12! Well well well. The sucker me threw in into my shopping basket anyway cos I was quite curious to try it.

We mixed it with some regular spaghetti that we still have left over.

Here’s the tomato base sauce with loads of mushroom and bacon in it.

Sprinkle loads of mozzarella cheese and pour the hot pasta sauce over.

It’s yummy! The squid ink pasta didn’t have any strong taste though. It just had a really really mild taste and I gobbled up like e huge bowls. My brother was appalled at my appetite because I ate more than he did.

Another of those sandwich on a random day with a sunny side up.

Seafood soup served with martell and vinegar (think sharks fin soup without the shark fin). Slurp! and a small side of fries as my carbo.

What’s your favorite fruit? Mangosteen is one of mine, but it is so hard to find and not always in season. Well, it is now! Really missed the times where my grandparents plantations were still thriving. I could have as much of these as I wanted. Now, it’s so expensive to buy these things!

Mos burger wagyu beef burger. DISAPPOINTING, give me the Yakiniku rice burger any time!

Feel like have a nice Sunday brunch this weekend. I need to go out!! Rahh!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

    Agree with Candice, there seems to be no rewards until maybe they are 3-4 months to be honest.

    And the other thing is called BO BIAN. I didn’t have anyone to hand her off to lol.

    Hang in there.

    he is getting a bit more interactive, but it is also tiring me out more because he is staying awake a lot more now.

    i guess maybe i just need a break from it and perhaps, more help from the husband. He still leaves me dirty bowls to wash after him (!!) after his dinner. =\
