• my way of keeping my hyper kid at bay.

    I really don’t have the energy to catch up with him these days.. in a bid to keep his hyperactiveness at bay and still keep him occupied with some activity, I put him in the baby chair outside at the corridor.. and armed him with an apple. if possible, dress the baby in old clothes. my son isn’t in old clothes but he has been munching on the apple before that (he grabbed it from the coffee table himself and started munching on it before we realised what was happening) so I just let him be. look at the mess he created.   but surprise, surprise! he devoured 3/4 of…

  • food expedition.

    what msia means to me is always 2 things – family and good food. and no, in case you are wondering.. I am a Singaporean, except that I have a wee bit of Malaysia blood in me.   with the family wedding yesterday, the family gathered in jb for a good feasting opportunity before the celebration. we trooped in bright and early on Saturday morning. first stop. I finally tried out the mee hoon kuay that derrick has been raving about for a while. this is near his johor office in so its pretty far off from the jb town because its in skudai. I think it taste pretty good.…

  • the jap dinner at Wahiro

    Right this moment, I’m so full that I can’t quite move an inch. I’ll risk puking. Serves me right for being soooooo greedy. Had a nice dinner with Der at wahiro tonight. It was not planned, we happened to be in the area and wanted to have dinner before proceeding with our errands, and since Der haven’t been there, I thought I’ll bring him. here’s the pictures galore. trying out the gorgeous cam on my new HTC One. hopefully they are good enough to make you drool! fresh sashimi. Der ordered a set meal that comes with a portion and I ordered an additional platter for myself..feels a little dumb…

  • It’s all about food!

    Finally, my boy knocks out in bed and I can have some free time to myself for a while before the husband comes home and the next window for expressing breastmilk/washing of bottles rolls along. I am beginning to think I am so not suited for motherhood and I think I lack maternal instincts! I am soooo tired that I am grateful for any moment that the baby is taken off my hands. But I feel terribly guilty for feeling that way afterwards. how do you mothers do it? I feel like I have nothing else left in me and no energy to go on. The only times that I…

  • today, is an arsed day.

    i know it doesnt seemed like it.. but guess what? i slept for 4.5hrs last night, woke at 6am to a crying baby (and engorged breasts).. fed him, burped him, changed his diapers, put him into bed (he already slept while i was burping him), started to express my milk and 10 minutes later…. Jerry projectile vomited!!! it means, crying baby, helpless me (with breast pump still stuck to me) rushing over (reflex action) and SPILLING all the milk everywhere (bottles were almost full), screaming at hubby to wake (he was scrambling to find his glasses in semi darkness), cleaning the baby (with hubby’s help), cleaning myself up (soaked with…

  • The weekend.

    Love this picture of my boys, snoozing on a Saturday morning. Dim sum high tea buffet at goodwood park (again). It seems like THE place of the month for me. Been there so many times, but the buffet was good, and the key highlight was mini abalone siew mai. I forgot to take a picture!! And when I remembered, it was never refilled anymore. Bummer! And of cos, the yummy durian pudding which each of us had a serving each. If only, the durian pudding was buffet style! Lugged home a whole loaf of durian strudel.. And was gone before midnight was up, despite being so so full from the…

  • Mummy’s milestones and more..

    Achieved 2 little milestones in the last week.1) I survived a week without der when he went Aussie for work (but I had help from my mum)2) I drove the little bub to the airport alone to receive him when he came back! This really deserves more cheer and well, at least I know I can head out by myself in the car. Helps that Jerry loves car rides. He always falls asleep in them. Frankly, I was a little hesitant about venturing out and was given stern looks from my mum when I expressed my intentions but I know, bringing Jerry to greet hubby when he touched down in…

  • Girly date and being tourist.

    Long overdue post, but guess what? I spent the last 1.5 weeks in a semi comatose state where I mostly ate/slept/milked myself. I have no idea why I am sooooo tired! I tried to read and end up dozing off, same goes when I tried to use the computer. Argh! 2 Fridays ago, I popped out with Bernice for buffet lunch at todai. If you remembered, I blogged about my mum refusing to let me bring the kiddo along. I think I enjoyed the ‘freedom’! All ready to head out! These days, dressing up is a bit of a headache. I cant quite fit into a lot of tops that…

  • Cat mountain surprise.

    I love throwing surprises. When the mood struck me that is. And of cos, the opportunity to do so.. I blogged about the goodwood park’s mao shan power puffs that was oh-so-good in my previous post. And because the promotion period is nearing its end, and my mum has yet to try.. The puff was too small to be shared among so many of us the other day so I brought her to buy some yesterday. Yes, crazily enough.. I drove out just to get the puffs.. Got one for my in-laws and another for Jen as a surprise, since I was meeting her for dinner last night. Here’s a…

  • durian cravings..

    i still have the urge to eat durians, everyday! especially since it is the durian season now.. the other day, while we were at goodwood park hotel’s min jiang restaurant for dim sum buffet lunch.. i gobbled down many many portions of durian puddings. it was oh-so-yummy!! can i have more please?! the service was really impeccable, the staff were all so attentive, catering to our dining needs, spotting the teapot needing a refill almost immediately when we were finished it up, the food came at all the right times and even though we polished off the entire cart of dim sum off this lady, she gamely served up everything…
