A visit to Mainland Tropical Fish Farm in Pasir Ris.
I recently discovered that Jerry has a love for fishes. I think his first few interactions with live fishes (not those we put on the table) are from the koi pond in his favourite uncle’s house (a relative’s place). They used to have a huge koi pond beneath their balcony and Jerry gets to catch the small fishes with a small net. They have since renovated their house and had the koi pond removed and Jerry has been asking for fishes every single time we are there. So last week, after a somewhat packed saturday (cooking class in the morning, family photo shoot at noon and a workshop in the…

CNY Reunion Lunch with my 99 year old grandfather
This Chinese New Year has been a rather tiring one for me. Those who follow me on instagram (@cherieladie) would have been wondering whether i was in Singapore or Malaysia on the eve of Chinese New Year because it felt that i as appearing in 2 places on the same day. I was. I asked my mum if they could have reunion lunch instead of dinner. I asked the husband if he was OK that we zipped in in the wee hours and arrive to have lunch with my 99 year old grandpa before zipping out to have reunion dinner with his grandpa. with a stroke of luck, everything fell…

All set for CNY with FOX Kids and Baby!
*Sponsored post with Fox Kids and Baby* Honestly, the CNY mood has yet to descend on me yet. Did somebody say Chinese New Year is just 5 DAYS away? There are so much chores to be done in the household still and i think we wont feel much of a festive mood since the husband is the kind that wouldn’t want any CNY decor in the house. We are pretty much busy bees this weekend trying to cram in last minute stuff – hair cuts, change of bedsheets, packing up the messy bits of the house, and getting ready the red packets for the new year. But there is one thing…

My little Jerome turns ONE! Happy 1st Birthday!
Exactly a year ago on this very day, i had the most bizarre gynae appointment ever, which landed me in the hospital for child delivery WITHOUT the husband by my side. Unthinkable right? and fast forward today, my little chubby baby koala turns ONE! Has it really been *ONE* year already? It went by in a whizz and i can’t say i remember much of it. Having 2 kids really takes up a lot more of your time, and i have been slacking on his development milestones. Each month, i meant to write, and ended up postponing the post, or having a half written post in my draft folder and…

jerome turns 8 months.
slightly over a week ago, jerome turned 8 months old. this little bundle of sunshine of mine cheers me up everyday. at 8 months, he has 8 fully grown teeth. i have no clue why my kids’ teeth sprouts so fast! I thought jerry’s progress was fast when he was a baby, but jerome’s progress is so much faster. he stands unassisted now for a couple of seconds before he plonks his fat butt down again. he walks like a champ assisted and can get around the house pretty fast when he crawls or walks about. he’s always wary about falling down so he clutches one hand onto somewhere all…
