life is pretty much about packing.
life these days is pretty much all about packing. all the boys are asleep right now. I am pretty much as tired as they are and very sleepy but my mind is racing, checking off all the to-do list and trying to pack. pack up my life. heh. some of my bags, all going into carton boxes for the husb to bring over to the new nest. while I’m away, he could slowly bring my stuff over bit by bit so I am trying to be productive and pack in whatever I think he can bring over first. and speaking about me being away, its…

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…

Our nest – updates on the renovation works. [Part 2]
if you are new reading this blog, you can read about how the house looked like when we first collected our keys and about my previous post on the renovations. someone asked about my kitchen counter top from the previous post, so i just do a quick mention here. the counter top is marble. i honestly didn’t compare the price for the various type of top but i do know that i wanted a counter top that could last and based on the few material samples that we saw, we chose this. the husband also feels that i should do my sink some justice and give it some mention. haha!…

Our nest – updates on the renovation works. [Part 1]
i know. i have kinda been spamming everyone bits and pieces of the house on IG (and also FB since its crossed posted) and everyone have been asking if i have moved in. so, i thought an update would be due since the last post on it was in feb. FEB! has it been that long? honestly, we weren’t the most diligent folks on this renovation thing. we only have the weekends to work on it, sourcing for the electrical appliances, deciding on the plans, working out with the ID and whatever not. It’s really one massive project and i learnt a lot out of this experience. Sure, it could…

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…

NIVEA 14 Days Challenge :: The Results!
Here’s the results of the NIVEA 14 Days Challenge! About 2 weeks ago, I shared about the discovery of the all-in-one body moisturizer, whitening serum and sun block – NIVEA Body UV Whitening Serum with SPF 25, and took up the 14 days challenge to see if my skin would be fairer and more radiant. It’s been 14 days since I used it. And here’s the result in picture! While I must disclaim that the picture are taken in different lightings with the latter in a brighter environment, you can still visibly spot that the skin is smoother and looking more supple and brighter in the bottom picture. My watch…

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…

conversations with the husband #3
Conversations with the husband #3 after a super frustrating bedtime routine with a toddler who simply refused to sleep for > 2 hours.. my tempers were flaring and I really was on the verge of strangling him or giving him away to another family. I was so tired, super sick and I badly wanted to grab some rest. so after loads of struggles, cries, whines, disciplinary acts and hugging daddy’s leg. I ignored him for the longest time and he fell asleep. in the above position, over my blanket but under my bolster. daddy and I finally sat down to have dinner at close to midnight, packed his school…
