dinner at poulet and shopping.
last week, i felt really down and worn out, i asked the husband if he could come home earlier and bring me out for a nice dinner. i was on the verge of breakdown from the lack of sleep, the baby chores and being available for everyone else but myself ever since jerome is born. he obliged and i was a really happy girl thereafter even tho it was a short 4 hours (6-10pm). we had dinner at poulet, a casual french restaurant that is friendly on the pockets. have been reading reviews on the place so i had to go check it out. we brought jerry along…

trying to get fit..
i finally got my lazy arse moving and started to take tiny little steps to introduce some fitness into my daily routine. simpy because, i cant quite stand the sight of my flabby tummy and its getting really hard to suck it all in these days. so i hula-hooped! i wasnt able to leave the house for any exercise (i would love being able to do a run) since my mum cannot cope with the 2 kiddos so hula hoops sounds like a pretty good idea. i do them at the corridor (out of jerry’s sight) but near enough to hear if any help is needed (or trouble at…

verbal diarrhea..
because there is a need to. I realised what i really really missed lately was blogging via my laptop. ever since jerry has started watching the youtube vids on my macbook (i try to keep to those educational ones), i have lost control and usage of it totally. and those are the only pockets of time i really have to spare for blogging. Blogging via the phone is quite frustrating to type (and painfully slow) and i often lose the draft entry when the app crashes (argh!). not to mention that the pictures sizes uploaded are all weird and sometimes crappy (when my image settings miraculously got resetted to default).…

an evening by the beach
i have been wanting to do this beach thing for eons and havent found the opportunity because of my pregnancy, rainy season, confinement etc. have been trying to expose jerry to the great outdoors since he is such a energizer bunny. we headed to daiso to load up on the play kits. i had wanted to by kiddy palace when the husband suggested daiso. brilliant idea. we were kinda going crazy because since it $2, we got all the different sets available, huge spades and a bucket. bouncing off at the park. we bundled jerome along as well since there isnt anyone who could look after him and we…

FTWM is me. and about constantly juggling.
after having 2 kids, being a ftwm isn’t really a choice for me. it’s the default option that i have to choose because of ONE reason. Being financially sound. with the current cost of living in singapore, the bills that we have to pay, the insurance/medical fees/school fees for the kids, the house and whatever cost necessary to build our own home just isn’t possible with a single income (at least not with any of our income). and let’s just not going into the quality of living or us indulging in whatever luxury that we can afford (e.g. travels, new gadgets). well, thing is.. i actually think being a ftwm…

virus in the household!
the past couple of days have been pretty tough. i have a sick kid on my hands and he has been feeling so uncomfortable that sleep is a pain. he caught a virus from his cousins and has been whining/crying in his sleep, struggling with block nose. despite seeing the doc on sat, his nose is still dripping with mucus. every time i think he seems to be on the mend, the dripping starts all over again. there is also throat inflammation and cough and i am totally freaked out because i also have a month old baby in the house. its a really bad time since the husb is…

joel’s full month.
Joel and Jerome shared the same edd date. Yh and me were still joking about sharing a double room and playing mahjong cards together if we were to bomb on the same day. heh. Jerome came earlier than expected at wk 37 & 4 days. Joel decided that he too, wants to join in the fun and popped out 2 days later, the day that I was to be discharged. I got a SMS from yh about her contractions at night when I was going to bed and I told her to monitor. I woke up at 6am and saw her text about her admitting and being in the…
