Goodbye.
It has been a solemn past week having it been declared a national mourning period. I spent my days reading articles of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew and gluing myself to the TV. Some of you might also have noticed the 7 days of silence on my blog and all social media platform. It is indeed very sad, and I shed much tears. Each time I read some article Singaporeans write about their experience with our first Prime Minister, my eyes just start to water, even when I am in trains or public transport. I too, joined in the Parliament queue with the husband and Jerry on Thursday. Despite being told that…

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (in Mandarin) by The Little Company.
{Giveaway at end of post} I love exposing my kids to different experiences and one of the easiest way is to bring them to watch plays. They are immediately transported into settings that are out of their world, and they often get to learn a valuable lesson or two. I also use the scenes in plays to relate to my kids, and teach them life’s lessons through it. Jerry has been through quite a number of plays already, and Jerome recently went for his first. The plays they have watched thus far have been english-speaking ones and I do want to bring them to Mandarin speaking ones in a bid…

3 idiots.
No. I am not scolding anyone but I want to introduce you guys to this particular movie that I happened to watch on a ferry while I was in Cebu. I have been telling all my friends and colleagues to go watch it, and have been meaning to blog about it and share but kept forgetting. If you haven’t watched it, you really should. It isn’t a new movie, in fact, its quite dated considering that it was launched in 2009. It is Indian coming-of-age comedy-drama film that went on to be the highest grossing Bollywood film. I guarantee that it is not a waste of time although I did hear feedback that it might be…

Thank you. Yes, you.
I actually was going to schedule a short post today, one of those “Things Jerry say” that have been in my draft folder for the longest time.. but i have decided to take the time to craft a short thank you post. The response from my last post on breastfeeding have been very heartening. I was initially quite hesitant to share but now, i am so, so, glad that i did. I learned so much more. And i learned that while i thought i was the “only one”, suddenly there are so many of you who reached out to me and tell me you moms thought you were the only…

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…

the girl who used to sit in front.
my colleague, Beverly left the team last friday. the office is been quite quiet and missing quite a bit of cheer. i think it stems from her youth (she’s the youngest in the team) and her beverly bubberly nature. I also love to tease her to bits so work has been kinda boring without her. nonetheless, i’m sure we will remain as friends!! or maybe its a one-sided thinking cos she doesnt want to keep me. well, im too old and not much fun. hahah. the sweet girl baked the team a cake as a farewell gift! filled with loads of love and strawberries the sweet, young thing in the…

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…

a pleasant surprise from jerry.
I havent read a book to jerry for ages. my bad. other priorities got the better of me. i tried to show him a new book tonight but he went to his book shelf and pulled this out instead. yes. he likes to choose his own books and this is, afterall one of the newer books in his little library. so here’s my surprise. I started pointing out the animals one by one and asked.. “what is this?” across each item on the book cover. and he went… dog!horse! cat!house!bird!(when I point to the hive) bee!spider! sun!flower! and im stumped. I definitely had not expected that he’ll…
