sunday brunch at spruce
the usual trio – andy, cindy and me met up for brunch last sunday (along with our significant other), mainly to bade andy farewell and ‘send him off’. this guy is moving overseas for a work stint and i think i’ll be missing his company. in a blink, its been almost 5 years since the 3 of us have met, worked together, became good friends and stayed in contact while we moved on in various stages of life. its nice seeing his 5-year plan materializing! a half awake jerry at the table. it was my first time at the fire station branch and frankly, we weren’t impressed at all.…

dinner at poulet and shopping.
last week, i felt really down and worn out, i asked the husband if he could come home earlier and bring me out for a nice dinner. i was on the verge of breakdown from the lack of sleep, the baby chores and being available for everyone else but myself ever since jerome is born. he obliged and i was a really happy girl thereafter even tho it was a short 4 hours (6-10pm). we had dinner at poulet, a casual french restaurant that is friendly on the pockets. have been reading reviews on the place so i had to go check it out. we brought jerry along…

verbal diarrhea..
because there is a need to. I realised what i really really missed lately was blogging via my laptop. ever since jerry has started watching the youtube vids on my macbook (i try to keep to those educational ones), i have lost control and usage of it totally. and those are the only pockets of time i really have to spare for blogging. Blogging via the phone is quite frustrating to type (and painfully slow) and i often lose the draft entry when the app crashes (argh!). not to mention that the pictures sizes uploaded are all weird and sometimes crappy (when my image settings miraculously got resetted to default).…

an evening by the beach
i have been wanting to do this beach thing for eons and havent found the opportunity because of my pregnancy, rainy season, confinement etc. have been trying to expose jerry to the great outdoors since he is such a energizer bunny. we headed to daiso to load up on the play kits. i had wanted to by kiddy palace when the husband suggested daiso. brilliant idea. we were kinda going crazy because since it $2, we got all the different sets available, huge spades and a bucket. bouncing off at the park. we bundled jerome along as well since there isnt anyone who could look after him and we…

jerry turns 22 months!
almost one week ago, jerry turned 22 months! i crafted an entry much earlier but didnt find the chance to post it..and then i realised i lost the entry (disappeared into thin air on my phone) so im trying to very hard to recall what i wrote earlier. im just gonna jot down the key improvements in the past month this time round since its getting really hard to differentiate the difference between the months in terms of growth. the first thing that is new about him is his role as a big brother. jerry has been really good with his little brother. he has been the really…

virus in the household!
the past couple of days have been pretty tough. i have a sick kid on my hands and he has been feeling so uncomfortable that sleep is a pain. he caught a virus from his cousins and has been whining/crying in his sleep, struggling with block nose. despite seeing the doc on sat, his nose is still dripping with mucus. every time i think he seems to be on the mend, the dripping starts all over again. there is also throat inflammation and cough and i am totally freaked out because i also have a month old baby in the house. its a really bad time since the husb is…

joel’s full month.
Joel and Jerome shared the same edd date. Yh and me were still joking about sharing a double room and playing mahjong cards together if we were to bomb on the same day. heh. Jerome came earlier than expected at wk 37 & 4 days. Joel decided that he too, wants to join in the fun and popped out 2 days later, the day that I was to be discharged. I got a SMS from yh about her contractions at night when I was going to bed and I told her to monitor. I woke up at 6am and saw her text about her admitting and being in the…

single parenting.
the husband is serving his reservist currently for 2 weeks. with a relatively new born in the house and an (super hyper) active toddler in the house, you can say I’m in pretty bad shape. sleep deprived nights. one week down, another one to go. the nights are the toughest because I have zero help at all, on top of the moo moo chores and all that bottles washing and sterilizing shit, I think I am on the brink of falling sick. but before I did.. jerry caught a bug and is pretty much very sick the entire day. he missed his afternoon nap today because his nose…
