More on self and family, and less of everything else.
So, I have been blogging a lot lesser these days because I have thinking, and not really doing (blogging) much. 6 months earlier, I wrote about 15 things that I will do differently this year, and I think I am faring rather okay against that checklist. I have definitely clocked in a lot more sleep, take things a lot slower, do less gorging and more proper eating and scrutinising what really goes into my mouth. I try to exercise whenever I can, and the family clocks in at least a day of outdoor activity each week so that we don’t coop up in the house or roam the malls that…

15 things I’ll do differently in 2015.
The month of January is GONE. How fast is that? Today, I am going to share 15 Things that I will be doing differently in 2015 as part of a blog train by Rachel of Catch Forty Winks. Had meant to share this earlier, but have been really busy at work, events, family functions as well as Jerome turning two, I reckon I needed a breather in between. With a new year always come new resolutions for most. I don’t really have the habit of making resolutions because I just want to live life happy and that’s pretty much my life’s motto. But, I always believe that people should improve themselves…

All alone on a Saturday night.
I haven’t been all alone for a while and it feels strange to be so. Can’t quite remember the days where I didn’t have a kid or anyone around me at night. I think the last time might have been the night where I was all alone in a hotel, in Melbourne. It’s been a tiring week, but there are more tiring weeks ahead. I have been on course all week, and I have an exam to take tomorrow. Am going to mug real hard for it tonight…because I NEED have to pass. There has been just too much going on these couple of days and I am dead beat. I…

Because something’s gotta go.
I know the silence here is a little alarming. If you have been constantly checking my blog and wondering if there is a new entry, I’m sorry to have disappoint in the past month or so. I just, somewhat went downhill with my mojo on blogging. I feel like a broken record by repeating this constantly – I’m too tired. I’m too busy. No time. I don’t know how best to bring it across, but the above is true. I somewhat lost it after trying to keep it together for a while. Work got super busy with the recent change of scope and I barely had the time to talk to…

about happiness.
this is a topic that i feel very strongly about. after living so many years (i almost revealed my age! HAHA) being a student, being in the work force, getting married, having kids… i just feel. nothing else matters other than happiness. i met this bunch of students with a lot of passion some time back in the course of my work. I could relate strongly to what they wanted to do, how much they felt for their final year project, and how, they wanted to make a difference. and here’s a video of their hardwork. and i was glad to have met them. they reminded me about happiness. …

I’ve been busy.
and so, if you haven’t already know.. I am back at work since last week. life has been pretty good to me and we didnt have much issues working out the logistics of kids and everything else. so, the schedule for the past week has been pretty much like this:– 720am: everyone wakes up. daddy makes milk for jerry, I express milk, bathe and get ready for work. – 800am: daddy sends jerry to school and waits for me downstairs once he is done.-815-830am: I bring baby out to my mum if he’s awake or just leaves him in the cot if he’s sleeping and pop downstairs for a…

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 update on the kids and me.
since the birth of Jerome, life has pretty much been a blur for me. feeding, burping, sleeping, expressing milk, bottle washing, and the likes. I havent have had much energy for anything else really. I remember being very sleep deprived when I had Jerry, with me expressing milk every 2-3 hours. this time round, I have been super lax in this area, expressing only every 4-6hrs.and am in the midst of trying to stretch it longer, but I am equally tired, if not more. in the last 3 weeks, Jerry also turned 21 months old. the bringing of Jerome home didn’t quite affect Jerry. i guessed it helps that…

feeling and being appreciative is an option.
this post is inspired by a close girlfriend of mine. she seemed to be rather unhappy about her marriage and sore with the husband and that ever since kids came along, the husband doesnt pay her as much attention as the kids and she feels neglected. so much so that she’s considering marriage counseling. i mean. that came as a shock to me. i know she does complains occasionally (com’on, who doesnt?!) but to consider going for marriage counseling speaks depths about her unhappiness. and i only found out because she read my blog posts and texted the husband to say that he’s damn sweet to me (with the recent…

the afternoon view.
here’s a shot of the afternoon view. I am totally loving my phone and the view. just for record, I have been good. I stayed in room the whole day except to buy lunch (had bread in the morning) and had Olympics on tv for.accompany. I tried to nap, but oh boy.. my phone kept ringing/beeping and it irritated the hell outta me. even the hubby got chided by me when he called like 4 times this afternoon. #firstworldpain I mean, I know he meant well, so did everyone.else that beeped me.. but I was trying to nap! lol. so yeah, thank you.to everyone that poured their concern after…
