Hi there (again).
It’s been a long while since I have written a random, raw, unplanned post. Thought about it tonight and decided that maybe I should since the kids decided to spare me the agony and went to bed early. Hooray! Especially so on a solo-parenting night. I, haven’t blogged for a long long while. Since my last blog spot on CIDB, I kinda went dead silent. So much has happened since. 2016 has been rather eventful thus far. It took a sponsored post to break the 2 months silence, but there has been many times that I wanted to write… but just didn’t. What has been going on since? The happy…

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…

3 idiots.
No. I am not scolding anyone but I want to introduce you guys to this particular movie that I happened to watch on a ferry while I was in Cebu. I have been telling all my friends and colleagues to go watch it, and have been meaning to blog about it and share but kept forgetting. If you haven’t watched it, you really should. It isn’t a new movie, in fact, its quite dated considering that it was launched in 2009. It is Indian coming-of-age comedy-drama film that went on to be the highest grossing Bollywood film. I guarantee that it is not a waste of time although I did hear feedback that it might be…

Hitting a parenting low.
I have been quiet on this space. A lot more quieter than I would like actually. These days, a lot of thought go through my mind. Some of which I have solutions for, some of which, I am completely helpless at. I think I am very good at doing one thing – just grit my teeth and just trudging on. The time doesn’t wait, and people just need to survive. Even though I am tired, the clock still ticks away. Even though I am sick from the lack of the sleep, the kids still need to eat/drink and interact with me. Even though I came home late and haven’t had…

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…

I’m wrong. So so wrong.
So I got it all wrong. I don’t know if I ever mentioned this before. . But jerry has got this really irritating habit when he sleeps. He likes to climb on top of me, my legs, my butt and just wedge himself at any corner or nook that he can find between my body/arms/legs and all if he is co-sleeping with me. It’s bloody irritating to me because I cannot sleep with him pressing down on me! At all! He hasn’t been co-sleeping much with me now that we are staying in our own place, but I sometimes find him on my bed in the mornings. He wakes in…

Do you hate me too? The ‘skinny’ me, i mean.
(source) I get the above a lot. And let me get that context right. People usually say that to me because… #1 – I eat so much but still so skinny. (For those who don’t know me IRL, i really really really eat a lot. Enough to scare away most guys and freak all girls out) #2 – I have 2 kids and am still so skinny. (i get this alot!) #3 – you never exercise and you are still so skinny. I hope I’m not that unpopular that people hate for everything, but I think most of my haters fall into the above categories (or so, I think). I’m probably…

Thank you. Yes, you.
I actually was going to schedule a short post today, one of those “Things Jerry say” that have been in my draft folder for the longest time.. but i have decided to take the time to craft a short thank you post. The response from my last post on breastfeeding have been very heartening. I was initially quite hesitant to share but now, i am so, so, glad that i did. I learned so much more. And i learned that while i thought i was the “only one”, suddenly there are so many of you who reached out to me and tell me you moms thought you were the only…

Viral fever vs Dengue Fever – how to tell the difference?
So, after burning for a week on somewhat very high body temperatures (38+, 39+ degrees), slipping in and out of sleep cycles and losing out a lot on food (i barely ate!) and losing some kilos, i finally rid the fever and came back to work today. still sick, still alive but not really kicking. my throat still hurts big time, i talk with a coarse voice, i spit fresh blood-stained phlegm and swallowing is a real pain. and i also found out this morning, that one of my colleague thought i died…because of this news article that she saw. because i was having non-stop high fever. because i stayed…

Things that my kids taught me while solo parenting last week.
Noise is virtually non-existence on this blog front since last week. I spent the week solo parenting the kids (both sick!!) and moving into a different role at work. Turns out, I ended up being severely sleep deprived, caught the flu bug myself from the kids and had to prep for a house warming party last weekend. As if life isn’t exciting enough with all the changes, I had to plan the house warming party on the same weekend. And even attempted to “bake” some jelly hearts to serve the guests. I know right, what was I thinking? but I survived the week and in the midst of it, learnt…
