• Jerry’s first day of school/childcare!

    Today is such a momentous day. It marks jerry’s first day of school/childcare. It is also an extremely emotional day for me, which I hadn’t expected I would feel this way. Come to think of it, I spent quite a bit of effort in prepping for his big day, from putting him on wait list, to bugging the schools in giving me a slot, to getting all the enrollment papers done, buying his uniform, his school bag, buying new toiletries/towels etc to be used in the school, ironing on his name labels on everything to packing his bag last night. It was a tedious process, but nothing quite prepared me…

  • The husband always wins.

    [possible vulgar/dialect language ahead] The husband was bathing the baby earlier and required me to help. I was feeling lazy so I teased him about his capability.. You know, being an all rounder and wonderful hands on super daddy, but he insisted he would liked me to help. Me: you cannot do it yourself meh? D: no, I’m not as capable as you. I need you to help. Me: you very zhu eh! (I meant 猪/pig in this instance and trying to mock him of stupidity. It was also meant to be a pun because the husband’s surname is Choo /朱) 猪爸爸!猪爸爸! I chanted non stop during the time I…

  • another haircut..

    jerry’s hair has finally grown out after many many months…  after that horrible hair cut in feb.. if you recall, he looked like the photo below. it took him 3 months to grow it out and look a bit decent. decided that its time for a slight trim since he’s turning 2, and starting childcare next week. this time round, i made sure the usual stylist is around! no more chances.. cannot sit still boy. he startd all proper with the cover and ended up with nothing because he kept tugging for it to come off. i think he hates the velcro thats prickinghim at the back of his neck.…

  • mummy’s notes

    in case you are wondering why my blog posts are irregular and mostly at weird timings, its because i cannot find enough pockets of time to write a decent blog post unless the kids are asleep. or, when i am letting jerry have a little tub play like above.. which is what is happening RIGHT NOW.   he just had a haircut and he was rather well behaved so i thought i’ll reward him with some water play (or rather, myself since im using the time to blog).   i wanted to start jotting down notes about our kids, things that happened or developments that i noticed.. mostly for the…

  • my labour day.

    i started the labour day holiday early in the morning making a table and chair out of the boxes of my water heater and sink in the new house, dicussing the details with the husb and  my ID.   it went a lot smoother than i thought it would and guess having spent hours the day before discussing with the husb helped.   the floor has been levelled! living room master bedroom toilet half wall done! now missing the glass piece and a tiny kerb.  kitchen looking really messy at the moment. the other part of the living room..   Its really quite fun seeing everything slowly coming into pieces..…

  • Hokkaido Chiffon Cake

    Hokkaido Chiffon Cake Baking Class by Munch Ministry

    Hokkaido Chiffon Cakes, baked by your truly.  baking & me don’t quite gel together, because i don’t look like the type that would bake. the last time i baked muffins (from a premix), no one quite believe that i baked them. i actually really quite like baking occasionally, it is just that i dont have a proper oven at home. when i found out about a baking class by munch ministry for a group of mommy bloggers from SMB, i immediately signed up and was super looking forward to it. never mind the fact that it was on a saturday morning at 9.30am. the class is held at the civil…

  • ikea shopping.

    we did more shopping for the home over the weekend. we had wanted to check out new bed frames at ikea (the staff told us there are new ones arriving) but we ended with only bowls in our shopping cart.   jerome is still sick so he stayed home with my mum who babysat him. lunch at ikea. the kiddo was asleep so we didnt get him anything.   we were also looking out for ideas for the detailing so i randomly snapped the following pictures for reference, simply because i liked what i saw or it was that something i wanted to do. then.. i chanced upon this kiddy…

  • the works finally started.

    the husband and me popped by to check the house out and the works have started! mega excited.   it was dark and most of my pictures turned out in a funky green tint, looking like some night vision images. the toilet half wall is up too!   looks like we’ll be swinging by the house pretty often now.
