jerry test drives his car!
when jerry turned one year old, my cousins-in-laws bought a really huge toy car for him. back then, he was really terrified of it (omg! this thing moves and jerks!!) so we had it parked at my in-laws’ place. jerry only sees and play with it at the corridor when he pops over on the weekends. his love with all things car has since grown so we finally got our act together and brought the car out for a test drive at bishan park last saturday! i find this sight really hilarious. the car fits perfectly in der’s car boot. there was an empty car lot beside us in the…

microwave chicken.
with the impending move to our own house, the one thing i will miss is my mum’s cooking. so, i am going to start noting down her simple to prepare and fuss free recipes here! i learnt the steps in my growing up years, but seriously, when my mum stopped working.. i have been rather pampered because who needs to cook when my mum is home to cook everyday? so i needed a refresher. I also made der learn with my mum earlier so this is also for his future reference. he’s a total noob in cooking (ok, except instant noodles and eggs), but i must applaud his seriousness tonight.…

my little chubby baby.
jerome is growing very chubby and wayyyyy heavier than jerry when he is at the same age. the 2 brothers are currently sharing and wearing the same pool of clothings (!!!) and my arms ache a great deal from carrying jerome! here’s some random cute pictures of the little one! he always has this smirk on his face! pouty lips here. blowing raspberries while doing tummy time “huh? you calling me?” i dont have much pictures of the little one. i should really get my act together and snap more pictures! he retaliated by going on a milk strike yesterday and literally snoozed the day away! well,…

the day in snapshots.
sorry for the radio silence this week. am a little burnt out from the kids and everything else. am also losing my patience with them and wish i could get a little time out. so yeah, here’s my wednesday in snapshots. i know. friday is beckoning in a few minutes as i type this, but better late than never? shit happens. i was changing jerome on my bed when he decided to pee..and while i was containing the pee, he pooped at the same time.. so it was a mess. so yeah, shit happens and i change sheets and did the laundry. managed to squeeze 2 minutes to cook…

achievement unlocked.
i singlehandedly, brought 2 kids out with me for lunch. YAY! i guess its an achievement in my motherhood books. we headed out for lunch with my girlfriend in my hood because i dont think i could have gone far with the 2 kids. actually, i could have since i have my bro’s car but der left for work with the 2 car seats in his car! im solo parenting with zero help this week. my mum is in hospital for an ear surgery, my brother is off holidaying in seoul, der couldnt get off work this week, so i just gotta deal with it. i do have a…

conversations with Jerry
now that jerry have better comprehension of the stuff i say, it’s quite fun to talk to him (or frustrating, depending on how you see it). these days, he is also fighting sleep and stays awake till midnight which is quite a torture for der & me.. because when he falls asleep, jerome wakes at about 1 plus for his feed and we are usually pretty zombified by then. the other day, while i was battling sleep time with jerry in the dark.. c: hey jerry, can you go to bed? its very late already. j: uh..uh.. (no, together with shaking of his head) c: you don’t want to sleep?…

another bloody affair.
i thought my last entry about jerry is bad enough.. and then last night, this happened. he was chasing a ball and playing with daddy when he slipped and fell face first and hit the floor. he started crying immediately and when der fished him up, it was a bloody mess. my heart almost stopped. my mum ran to take some sugar to sprinkle all over the bloody area, while i went to take my phone and snapped a picture of him before proceeding to quickly clean him up. i know right, my priorities. for a moment i thought he lost a tooth or something with the amount…

i see blood.
i meant that literally. this evening, jerry as usual is testing his limits with his surroundings. i have totally given up on how monkey he is or can be. it must be my active genes or a boys thing. he was playing by himself by gently knocking his head against the wall. he found it super funny. my aunt tried to stop him but he just did it more thinking it was really fun. i was in the next room checking on my mails when i heard was a loud cry and i found him crying non stop. so apparently, he swing and whacked his head really hard against…

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.…
