Conversations with the husband #12 – 天使 (Angel)
OK. This isn’t a new conversation but one that has happened maybe a year back or more? I thought I blogged it down before, but I can’t seemed to locate it on the blog (so weird!) so maybe I really didn’t. It’s a really funny and memorable one and I recently got reminded about it while talking to a friend. It happened on a night where Jerry slept early and the husband and I were just chilling around (with our gadgets) in the bed with the sleeping kid wedged between us. D: Look at him sleep. He looks like a 天使 (angel) hor? (looks at kid adoringly) C: Hmmm.. yeah. (the next…

Things Jerry Says #10 – Speaking Singlish.
Today’s “Things Jerry Says” is about him speaking singlish! This happened a while back when the husband wasn’t in town. I remembered i was out, driving with the 2 kids and my mum heading some where in the west for dinner and i was trying to keep the kids entertained by talking to them. Obviously, Jerry is the only one who can really hold conversations with me, but anything to ensure that they don’t fuss. The 2 kids are nicely strapped in their car seats at the back while i drive, and the whole time, i had my eyes on the road. I kept talking to Jerry and realised…

Things Jerry Says #9 – Mummy, i buy medicine for you!
Realized that I haven’t posted this “Things Jerry Says” post after I drafted it last week! So here it is! And just for record, I am STILL hacking away today, and the persistent cough is not getting any better. Hoping to get well soon since being under the weather is just meh! I have been sick for as long as the husband is gone. I caught the bug from the kids who also has been sick for as long as the husband is gone. While all of us have seen the doc, this viral bug is proving quite deadly and my medication didn’t work as well (or maybe its the…

Things Jerry Says #8 – Taking care of x.Silly.
For those who are new on the blog or doesn’t know.. the little pig in the picture is called x.silly (actually short form for ‘xiao silly’ or 小silly, meaning ‘small silly’). I have a bigger version of the pig and his name is “Silly” and this smaller version is named as such, because he came after the big one (the husband gave it to me so that i can travel with it on a work trip). It was a really sweet gift from then bf a long time ago. They are really special because they are pigs with WINGS (if anyone sees an exact replica, please tell me!) – the…

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…

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…

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…

Conversations with the husband #10 – buying a Samsung note 3.
I have been lemming for the samsung note 3 in rose gold color for the longest time and was totally determined to get it this weekend. It’s officially launched last week and i wasn’t around so i went on a quest today to hunt for the best bargain. I reckon it’s an eye opening experience for the husband. I asked the first shop and he wanted to buy it there and then! I told him he’s mad. I eventually settled it at the 8th or 9th shop that I came across and saved the husband close to 60 bucks. He is a happy man with the moolah saved and I,…
