happy national day, singapore!
today, everyone in Singapore celebrates the nation’s birthday. I really love Singapore and how we grow and prosper year on year. I don’t think I would ever find another better country to stay in. sure, I love travelling and have been to quite a number of countries but nowhere beats home. Singapore is such a great country to stay in. its so safe (in comparison to others), so efficient, handicap and kids friendly everywhere, good public transport, great infrastructure and all, plus our tax is relatively low. sure, its not perfect but believe me, it a lot better than many many places! I have have really silent on the…

jerome turns 6 months.
my chubby baby turned 6 months old a couple of days back, just like that. has it really been half a year? and just for the stats, he is currently at 8.05kg, way heavier as compared to jerry at the same age and I really love all his chubby fats. feels like a squishy bear all the time when I hug him. his head circumference is 42cm and height is 66cm tall. this baby is a loud and noisy one. he is constantly trying to blabber something or shrieks and screams when he is unhappy. he revels in human touch. if you leave him alone, he screams and demand…

Spooky Jerome!
Good morning! If you aren’t fully awake yet, i hope the spooky picture of jerome caught your attention. I took this in a dark room with UV light the other day while at river safari and thought it looked pretty cool. and while you are reading this, i’m probably somewhere in sydney city, having a nice, uninterrupted lunch with my friends (sans kids!!!!) since aust is 2hrs ahead. I’ll probably try to blog about the trip on the go since i’ll be staying with my friend in his apartment. but just in case i’m way too tired to do so, i pre-scheduled a couple of posts here and there, just…

a family trip to river safari for panda visiting!
as i was typing the blog header, i got reminded about the joke of panda taking pictures – they only turn out black and white!! ok, not funny. some weeks back when my extended family was in town for my grandpa’s birthday, we made an impromptu trip to river safari to check out the pandas. I think it made my uncle’s day. He was really excited about the pandas. i was so hyped up about going on a family outing (together with my mum cos she hardly goes anywhere!) that i almost forgot about the rescheduled teacher-parent meeting in jerry’s school. Thank god the school is just a couple of…

Sungei Boluh Wetland Reserve
this is a super backdated entry, from 6 months ago. it was one of those weekends in jan (5 jan to be exact) and jerome was still in my tummy. i was desperately trying to clock in some outdoor outings and spend some time with jerry before his brother pops out and share the attention. i super love nature and have been wanting to go sungei boluh wetland reserve for a long while, and i finally made it there that weekend. jerry dragging his cousin Levon along. making our way in! I like that they add little tidbits and facts about the animals that we are likely to see on…

the naughty Jerry.
this looks like its jerry’s bath time, but it is actually not. it was one of those days where i was busy pottering around the house, doing some chores and my boy was unusually silent. silence with him around simply means he is up to no good. and yup, i found him in the toilet, madly pumping on my self-foaming kirei kirei handwash and foaming up his own head. I had to strip him down and throw him into a tub to wash off all that suds! Look at that face. i couldn’t decide if im angry or its totally funny. and honestly, i’m torn between calling him naughty or…

jerome is 5 months old!
this post is 3 days late! my chubby baby turned 5 months old last Sunday. honestly, I haven’t been exactly tracking his progress much ever since I have gotten back to work but he has grown much chubbier and is now weighing 7.6kg at the last PD visit which I didn’t even manage to go (the husband totally cannot remember his height/head circumstance even it was measured. guys!!). the husband also didn’t take any picture so no pictorial evidence as well. though yes, I am missing out much on his little life but I guess that’s reality and I definitely won’t be able to be there at every single…

Family portraits.
I never got round to blogging about this till now because the pictures took such a long time to get to me. I lost the mojo to blog about it until recently when i was searching for some family pictures to print for Jerry’s school. we did a newborn shoot for jerome some time back, before CNY this year while i was still in confinement and in the midst of it, we bagged in some family portraits as well. Naturally, i still look rather fat and preggers but here’s some of the nicer pictures that i thought was quite natural. this is my absolute favourite of all the pictures because…

Thomas & Friends – Jerry knows his trains!
Ok. I’m guilty as a mum for exposing him to TOO MUCH thomas & friends. DVDs, VCDs, toys, books, bags, water bottle, cookery and the works, but it’s always about thomas thomas thomas (since he is the lead character). so a couple of days back, i bought a few more thomas and friends book for jerry, mainly for bedtime reading and i was really surprised when he pointing at the square train and went…. “Toby!”. I never heard him say “toby” before this even though i have ever read and pointed “toby” to him from another book. and i just had to quiz him! he really amazed me when he…

mywaterway @ punggol on father’s day
sorry for the silence. its contributed by a couple of reasons. first of which is me feeling under the weather and I have been extremely tired of late from solo parenting last week and work and trying to recuperate. and the haze situation isn’t helping. my nose and airway have been irritated by the air and I did a 8-in-a-chain mega sneeze last night followed by burning nostrils, I knew I had to hide under the covers and just sleep. so ya, forgive me will ya? back to father’s day. I bought der an ice cream cup to reward him for a job well done (it’s as good as…
