• halfway mark @ 20 weeks.

    ok. I’m flashing a little birdie at all of you. heh. birdie of my little prince. I can’t quite believe i’m halfway there! I have been so so busy at work so much so that blogging has seriously taken a back seat in my life. I crashed out on most nights before midnight if I’m home early, or I’ll be typing away on the laptop. and by early, I meant reaching home at about 9pm, in time to grab a quick dinner before putting my son in bed. not quite that ‘early’ by normal people standards. people around me seemed to be enjoying work life balance with knock off timings…

  • its not the last afterall..

    although I said in my earlier post that I won’t be doing self-pedicures for a while.. my chipped toe nails and my busy schedule at work changed that.   I couldnt stand my chipped toe polishes (and bare nails) and I couldnt find the time to book myself a pedicure session so I attempted to paint my toes again.   increasingly difficult feat.  the dark knight.   I tried one of the new polishes that has been lying in my stash for a long long while (i still have many unused/unopened polishes!).  closer shot. I love the multi-coloured glitter of the polish but they don’t seemed to really show on…

  • belated birthday dinner treat..

    met up with jen during the week for dinner. a belated birthday treat for me.. because we haven’t found the time to have dinner proper. we met up quite late because I was stuck in a meeting past hours and even though I still had loads to clear, I dropped everything and left cos I was more than an hr late..   dinner was at pietro ristorante italiano (12 jalan kelulut, tel: 6484 5528), a French semi-fine dining in the heartlands. I chose the place for its proximity and because I have read about it and been wanting to try it for ages. a single serving of foie gras as…

  • a week of random tidbits.

    the husb is away the whole week for a business trip, so my hands are very much tied up with the baby. its also a bad week at work with me logging much longer hours with all the happenings coming up, and the bump is starting to give me much discomfort and making me very very tired. slap on the chores of bottle washing and all, I’m pretty much dead to the world before midnight even strike. I didn’t manage to spend a lot of time with the bub though since he’s mostly sleeping by the time I reach home or that its his bedtime and I quickly change him…

  • Delphine, Veraday & Cherie at polliwogs robertson walk grand

    official opening of polliwogs robertson walk

    I must be the last person to blog about it. last week, we were invited to the official opening of polliwogs @ Robertson! I previously blogged about visiting the place and you can read all about it here, so imagine my excitement when I got the invitation in my mailbox! I had to bug the husband to bring us there!  when I reached, I was thrilled to see a few familiar faces! photo courtesy of delphine bumped into delphine and veraday whose blogs I have been reading and following for ages! I couldnt help but also gush at Naomi who was oh so adorable! and also snapped a gazillion…

  • the decoder.

    someone has discovered the fun of the decoding my iPhone.   I don’t usually give jerry my phone to play. he calls its ‘apple’! not because its an apple phone, but I sometimes play the phonics song on my phone for him so he always remember the song as apple.   I left my phone on the bed the other day and went about doing my stuff. when I look up, the kid was happily pressing the phone and he has managed to disable my phone for 1 min.   didn’t manage to snatch back the phone so I took a picture as evidence instead.   to show the hubby…

  • about reaching for my toes..

    //edit:I just realised that 2 of the links werent working due to typo. It's working now..// a few of you have asked me in my earlier entry when I mentioned I wasn't going to do pedicure myself for a while.. some others picked up the cues from twitter about my appetite or the lack of. or even the need to eat breakfast every morning. this has definitely taken longer than I thought it would be. it hasn't been easily. I had had a roller coaster ride in fact. right from the start when I wasn't even that sure, to the double confirmation, the first scare, the check up, and a…

  • outing at gardens by the bay.

    we popped by gardens by the bay 2 Saturdays ago. I had actually wanted to post this a week before but the lj app ate up my post when it crashed on me while I was reading my friend’s entry. so this is my second attempt at posting this and hopefully, I could still remember the details that I wanted to blog about. I have been wanting to check the place out. it was a perfect day to visit, having rained in the late morning before and the skies were a little on the gloomy side with the sun peeking out randomly from the clouds.   the first thing we…

  • my nails this weekend.

    I havent done a nail post for a long time. that’s the amount of time that I havent found the time to do it.   so this morning, I decided to spend some time painting because my polishes have been do neglected. a simple natural looking one to save myself some time. orly Orion natural looking white base layered with opi pirouette my whistle on the tips. this glitter is on the top of my favourites list lately. my toes are done with orly naughty or nice, a deep brownish red with the tips also layered with opi pirouette my whistle. pardon the cuticle oil glistening in the picture.  …

  • his first class.

    I enrolled jerry for a art play class some months back at kid’s gallery and he attended his first class ever on Saturday!   he is the youngest kid in the class. classes are for 16 months and above and he barely reached the age requirement. he is still at 15 months, 2 weeks.   I know a lot of parents send their kids to classes like play gyms, gymboree and kindermusik at a much younger age but I didnt think it was necessary for jerry since his motor skills seemed quite developed at a really young age, but I wanted to start exposing him to a classroom setting with…
