Chilling out with great grandpa.
My grandpa’s health has been really bad lately. At a ripe old age of 96, I guess the body is in a retiring sort of mode. The last hospital episode made my grandpa draw up and finalize his will, and he was all ready to ‘go’. I do wish he won’t give up the fight so readily, but who am I to judge? I’m barely 1/3 of his age.. Meanwhile, I have been jumping at every single opportunity for jerry to spend some time with him, because I can see my great grandpa eyes twinkle with joy when he sees the kiddo.. Plus, he is always ready to cuddle the…

Ian & Caron’s wedding @ Klapsons Hotel
Last sunday, I attended my colleague’s wedding. Probably the most chilled wedding I attended ever. Everything was done elegantly, the wedding montage was simple and classic, the pictures were all oozing with the couple’s personality, there wasn’t much fanfare which is really nice, no fake cake cutting, no yum seng (just a simple toast) and much of the time spent was really spending quality time chatting with the guests and simply enjoying themselves. It’s makes me want to re-do my wedding all over again. Ok. I’m joking, but it was really simple and nice. And classy. Me love. The food was delish and the pace of the food was good,…

Cracked French manicure.
Changed out my manicure just moments ago because it was starting to chip and I had an event this evening. The last time I posted the duo-colored nail tips, I had people requesting that I do a tutorial. Actually wanted to do a video tutorial today but I really had no spare hands and no one to help me.. So I’ll do a step-by-step pictorial tutorial today on my nails. I tried out a cracked nail polish that was gifted to me 2 Christmas ago by a colleague. I kept forgetting about it so today I finally tried it out for the first time! Helps that it was also purple…

Quick update.
I have been silent for almost 2 weeks now. It’s been madness here, juggling with a almost-deadly virus that rendered a whole household sick, a out of whack schedule for baby, a majorly sleep deprived mother with loads of stress at work with pressing deadlines (colleague was on 1.5 weeks leave and there were tons to be done) and many visits to the pediatrician on top of round-the-clock administration of medicine for jerry. I almost couldn’t hang in there. It’s slightly better now, but im still sick, and still superbly sleep deprived. What seemed to be a flu for jerry turns out to be a really nasty virus that warranted…

Their faces spell inconsiderate.
Here I stand on a packed train, heading to work and feeling peeved at seeing a row of sitting train commuters playing with their phones and a pregnant lady standing. I had to take a picture. These people has no compassion really. Every single one of them is playing with their phone and the one on the reserved seating is sleeping. The pregnant lady is in their clear view (in this picture, it’s blocked by the magazine but you could see the baby bump peeking out under the mag) BUT NOT A SINGLE PERSON GAVE WAY! It’s ridiculous! I could see her bump from a door away but the train…

For a long, long time..
I realized I haven’t camwhored! Hmm.. Love my hair today and how the sun rays are caught in the curls. But, my photography skills ain’t good enough to capture the pretty rays me. Well, it’s been a long long time, but I felt girly. And I haven’t felt like that for a long while. It’s nice. I wanna feel like that everyday! Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

Babies and remotes
Can someone tell me what’s with babies/kids’ fascination with remotes? And oh. IPhone too. Is it the rectangle shape? Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

Is it my calling?
Right this moment, my mind’s racing for ideas on how to keep my highly mobile and active hyperactive kid away from harm. I learnt something new about motherhood – you’ll never stop worrying. Anyway, I was playing word with friends this morning and my brain’s probably not awake yet.. After the early morning stint of trying to settle my hyper kid who is doing acrobatics and slamming his face against the cot at 6am in the morning. All I could see was S.A.H.M.. Till now, I haven’t made my move yet because every single time I see the board.. I see that staring back at me. Is it my calling?…

My Sunday evening..
It’s pouring outside, and I’m feeling all warm and happy inside the house.. Because… I’m eating steamboat! Perfect evening in my books. Here’s what I have got in my pot.. Wong bok (Chinese cabbage) and duo-colored sweet corn (I swear by them but they are expensive stuff!). Egg tofu, chicken franks, and baby corn. King oyster mushrooms, fresh shiitake mushrooms, and green leafy choy sum vegetables. Fish balls and my favorite must-have ‘Tao ki’ (must be deep fried prior, I am anal on such stuff) And a tray of yummy pork belly slices. Look at all the marbling! Last but not least, the condiments! Home made chilli, Mizkan sesame flavor…

Manicure time.
Finally can afford the time to change out my nail color. It has been chipping and irking me since last week, but as life has it.. Other things has taken priority the past week and so, I finally have a bit of time to myself… Besides, I’m feeling a little down from being sick so how best to cheer myself up with a pretty manicure? I mad love my new nails, and I painted them myself! It’s a first for me painting this design and it was relatively easy, except that I made the mistake of painting the darker color first, thinking that the neon pink would be able to…
