Happy Chinese New Year!
Here’s wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year from my family to yours! I know this should have been done like 8 days ago, but I have been diligent.. Diligent in spending time with the family, connecting with the people that matter. Spending time with myself, doing the things I enjoy most. Diligent in letting some things go, chill, sit back and really relax. And, sleep early. It’s hasn’t been easy, making a deliberate change to my lifestyle and not touch my computer that much. But can I share that it has been liberating? I have done so much in the past few weeks that I suddenly feel like I…

Love Confessions on Live Great TV.
Today, I am going to share a video! It’s titled “Love Confessions Episode 3” and it’s done for Live Great TV. It features my little family, together with the family of another mummy blogger, Maggie Quek. In it, my husband and me answers some questions about parenting, and there is a kids’ interview too and hear what Jerry has to say! In the year 2014, one of my goals for the blog was to start doing video content. Why, you might ask. Because truth is, I ALWAYS struggled with talking. I used to have stage fright and over the years, I very consciously try to overcome that. I am just…

Happy 2015!
Happy New Year! It’s the first day of 2015 and I can’t believe 2014 is gone, just. like. that. 2014 hasn’t really been an amazing year, but it is good enough. It is a year of survival. Whatever downs I had, I believe it was to make me stronger. I am thankful for all that has happened because I gained experience, I gained friendships, I grew stronger, and I challenged myself more in 2014 and learnt a lot more new things. I ended 2014 feeling wonderful and happy. Here’s a few significant ones. Work wise, I changed my role yet again at work, survived through months of having to face…

All alone on a Saturday night.
I haven’t been all alone for a while and it feels strange to be so. Can’t quite remember the days where I didn’t have a kid or anyone around me at night. I think the last time might have been the night where I was all alone in a hotel, in Melbourne. It’s been a tiring week, but there are more tiring weeks ahead. I have been on course all week, and I have an exam to take tomorrow. Am going to mug real hard for it tonight…because I NEED have to pass. There has been just too much going on these couple of days and I am dead beat. I…

Hitting a parenting low.
I have been quiet on this space. A lot more quieter than I would like actually. These days, a lot of thought go through my mind. Some of which I have solutions for, some of which, I am completely helpless at. I think I am very good at doing one thing – just grit my teeth and just trudging on. The time doesn’t wait, and people just need to survive. Even though I am tired, the clock still ticks away. Even though I am sick from the lack of the sleep, the kids still need to eat/drink and interact with me. Even though I came home late and haven’t had…

Time out with a day trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia!
Life is fun when it is littered with bits of impromptus. Last monday, I went on a day trip to Johor with Estella! It was like really last minute, and I only applied leave on the evening of the Friday before. Talk about randomness! Ok. Partly it was because I still had 14 days of annual leave to clear for the rest of the year and it’s constantly bugging me at the back of my head because the year is soon coming to an end and I foresee having an issue to clear out all of them. (p.s. if you are wondering if I can carry them forward, the 14…

Because something’s gotta go.
I know the silence here is a little alarming. If you have been constantly checking my blog and wondering if there is a new entry, I’m sorry to have disappoint in the past month or so. I just, somewhat went downhill with my mojo on blogging. I feel like a broken record by repeating this constantly – I’m too tired. I’m too busy. No time. I don’t know how best to bring it across, but the above is true. I somewhat lost it after trying to keep it together for a while. Work got super busy with the recent change of scope and I barely had the time to talk to…

Happy Birthday to me.
And so, I turned a year older on Sunday. It is probably the simplest birthday ever. No flowers, no presents, just my favourite durian cake from Jane’s Cake Station, spent the day running errands and had Hai Di Lao for dinner. This year, I was just happy to be spending time with my little family, just snuggling close to them, and eating the pretend food that Jerry likes to cook in the playroom. My birthday wish? Wishing everyone around me to be happy and healthy, because that is all that matters. The husband says he’ll bring me shopping for a present, and I told him to transfer me his budget…

On Prime Time TV with OSIM uShape!
uh.. errm. and so, i have been told (by friends and colleagues) that I am on prime time TV. Honestly, the OSIM uShape commercial has been airing for a couple of days now and I haven’t been able to catch myself on TV at all. Have been coming home late from work late and all, and I’m not really a TV person actually. I knew the commercial will start airing last week but I didn’t expect it to be on prime time tv! #pleasantsurprise I have been getting whatsapp messages, and facebook messages from the most random of people. Friends who I haven’t contacted in a while saw the commercial and…
