Hop. Search. Unscramble with LolliBox
Psssst… LolliBox is having a contest and giving away 5 Lollliboxes! Details at end of post! I bought a pet cockroach from my recent Bangkok vacation for Jerry because i thought it was fun (yes, i do have a wicked sense of humour and its fake by the way. Made of plastic). I love nature and animals, insects and i think they are amazing. Cockroaches or not, they all have a life of their own and they are just surviving in this world, co-existing with us and this is something that i would like to impart that to my kids. The love of nature and the respect of every single life…

Things Jerry Says #7 – I want to sit on an aeroplane!
This kid is seriously missing his daddy. For the days that the husband is gone, he has been constantly asking me “Where is papa?”. Like the first question when he wakes up and the last question before he closes his eyes for the day.. and maybe a gazillion times in between (ok, maybe not that much). So over the weekend when i was done bathing him (which is why he is naked in the picture) and plonked him on the bed to dress him up… here’s what he said. J: Mama, I want to sit aeroplane! (put both palms together and does zooming sounds and action from his right to…

A visit to Mainland Tropical Fish Farm in Pasir Ris.
I recently discovered that Jerry has a love for fishes. I think his first few interactions with live fishes (not those we put on the table) are from the koi pond in his favourite uncle’s house (a relative’s place). They used to have a huge koi pond beneath their balcony and Jerry gets to catch the small fishes with a small net. They have since renovated their house and had the koi pond removed and Jerry has been asking for fishes every single time we are there. So last week, after a somewhat packed saturday (cooking class in the morning, family photo shoot at noon and a workshop in the…

Things Jerry says #6 – weather and wiper.
A short post on Things Jerry Says today. I’m a little under the weather this week – caught the flu bug and cough from the kids (yes, they both are down as well) and the husband is away for work (for 10 days!) so i’m solo-parenting and struggling to stay alive. As much as I would love to blog more, i’m seriously strapped for time, and when the kids are asleep, the meds (hello, tiny yellow pill!) is way too strong for me to battle and i ended up crawling into bed right after typing a blog title. I do hope to get well soon, it sure sucks being sick…

The fall that cost me $8K.
I don’t know why it took me so long to write about Jerry’s fall that cost me $8K. I meant to write about it some time back, but i guess work took the most of out of me then. The husband is going away for 9 days and i’m up for solo parenting for the next week and more. I moved back to my mum’s today to ease my traveling time from depositing and fetching the kids and got triggered about writing this post because i’m back at where the incident happened… It was a sunday morning and i was still in bed when my mum frantically knocked BANGED onto…

“Why i breastfeed for..” blog train – My other breastfeeding story
Sorry for the silence on the blog these couple of days. Have been putting in longer hours at work for the week and trying my best to be super mom at the same time so blogging takes a back seat, but i still love all of you so i’m back with another post today! Decided to take the opportunity to blog about my other breastfeeding story since the blog train is gonna end in just a few days. The breastfeeding story of my 2nd born – Jerome (birth story here). In case, you haven’t read my first breastfeeding story, do pop over so you’ll better know the context of this story. With…

Things Jerry says #5 – Respect for the nation
The husband sent me to the airport in the wee hours of the morning some weeks back when I was heading to Bangkok. On the way home, the national anthem was playing on national radio… D: *sings along with the national anthem* Jerry, do you know how to sing? J: papa! Must keep quiet (while national anthem is playing) D: …… Hilarious. Things kids say! At not even 3 years old, this kid already learnt respect for the nation! Not bad, not bad at all. (P.s. I claim no credit in this. I really got to attribute this to the school and their teachings) If you like this post, read…

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…

Why I Breastfed for…. 13 months (Part of a Breastfeeding blog train series)
Today, I am going to share my breastfeeding story, particularly, my first breastfeeding experience with my first born. I don’t believe I have ever shared it previously (read my previous breastfeeding related posts here), because I didn’t really have it easy, and its pretty much a raw, sensitive story that right up to this point where i’m drafting this post… I don’t know where to begin. Like all new mums, i read up a lot about breastfeeding prior to giving birth. I faithfully attended antenatal classes, and so ready to embrace the breastfeeding journey.. and all I did, was…breast(milk)feeding. Through a bottle. I know right. Maybe i am not even qualified to…

iFLY.. I flew.. at iFLY Singapore! *Flights Giveaway alert*
I am very excited to craft this post about iFLY Singapore, because this is something so me, and something that i really really have been dying to do, and its even listed as no. 7 on my bucket list! Ok. Maybe not quite the real deal but very close! I am also equally excited to announce that i have a pair of flight tickets to give away at the end of the post! In case you ain’t familiar with iFly Singapore, it’s the world’s largest (yes, you read that right!) indoor skydiving wind tunnel located at Siloso beach on Sentosa. The state-of-the-art wind tunnel allows anyone (first time flyers or…
