• The past week..

    I think I am beginning to adore my son. For those of you who kept telling me things will get better and that I one day would find everything worthwhile, I think I am almost here. Thank you for all that encouragement then. I think I am beginning to feel like everything is worth it.. or maybe it is postpartum amnesia and I don’t quite recall how bad things used to be. Ahh.. Maybe this is part of god’s grand plans.. Postpartum memory loss is for women to cope better and forget all those frustrations, struggles, hardship so that they’ll go on and have more kids. I’m pretty sure it…

  • Under the weather.

    Radio silence for the past few days because we are both under the weather. Between the 2 of us, someone got a bug and passed it on. Jerry had fever on Wednesday, and it went away after a patch and some medication but had runny nose and started coughing last night. A first in his books for being sick and down with a virus. Me, I am suffering from a really bad throat and been sneezing non stop, feeling very miserable and popped over to the doctor’s yesterday morning. Now, we are at the pediatrician, and have been waiting since 11am. Almost 3 hrs later, there are still 12 people…

  • A trip to the ZOO!

    Over the long weekend, we planned a trip to the zoo. We didn’t have much plans for the long weekend and thought it might do jerry some good to expose him to the animals and bring him out to for interaction with people instead of cooping up in the house with grandma all the time. We had grand plans of planning an activity every weekend! So when kent told me that he is back in Singapore for good and kaka is here for a month-long exchange program, I said a meet-up is due! It was in their plans to visit the zoo during the weekend (kaka wanted to do it…

  • Instant noodles.

    That’s what I am having for dinner tonight. The husband is gonna be home late from a team building karaoke session (he organized it and I secretly think its a planned getaway from the baby and my nagging). My brother doesn’t come home on Wednesdays so it’s just me and mum and I have decided to relieve my mum from cooking tonight, especially since we have a extremely cranky baby on hand.. Jerry unfortunately is running a fever today and I’m wondering if he has got the sick bug from me or that he is suffering from all that random knocks that he gets around these days. I have been…

  • Happy 6 months!

    Today marks 6 months of journey from the day I had a baby plonked onto my tummy and a pair of eyes staring at me. There has been ups and downs, loads of depression, some excitement, loads of happiness and amusement and a whole lot of other emotions, I am rather glad that we have survived it this far and things are getting better by the day (hopefully I don’t jinx it by saying this). The past month has been rather interesting, with loads of milestones from the baby! It has also been a fantastic month because the husband helped out sooooooo much, I am very thankful and happy and…

  • About kids.

    Its Estelle’s birthday party this coming weekend! The baby girl of my bestie. I am looking forward to meeting the sec school clique. Haven’t seen most of them for the longest time since everyone is busy with work and kids. I am as guilty as charged. Eagerly bought and wrapped her present last weekend along with a self-drawn decorated card. Haven’t done anything personalized for a long time.. It was a good respite from work and caring for the baby, even though it was just 15mins of art and craft. (and yes! I’m still using Christmas wrappers left over from last year – my effort to recycle and save the…

  • Another farewell.

    Another one of my usual lunch kakis leafy for ‘tai-tai dom’ in Taiwan.. First, its Bernice to Shanghai, and now its Dheresse to Taiwan. Actually, the tai-tai dom is self-assumed by me. Heh. She’s off to join her boyfriend turned hubby in Taiwan and start everything all over. According to her, the job entails being the house-keeper, the maid, the sex slave and ________ (add you own description) on top of her day job as a head hunter. Gonna miss the tallest girl in the department and a familiar lunch face. Farewells are hard, but life goes on for everyone else. I hope the friendship stays despite the distance! Posted…

  • Jerry’s 2nd haircut.

    Been wanting to give Jerry’s hair a trim. It has been growing fast and furious and became quite unruly, especially with natural curls in his hair. The past 2 weeks saw us with 2 unsuccessful attempts in cutting his hair. Once, the place was closed and the other, it was PH and they closed especially early. We were there when it was still open but the lady told us she is not going to cut anymore and is going to close shop. =( We were stuck in forum yesterday from the heavy rain while I was shopping for a present there after work, so despite a long queue at the…

  • *yawns*

    am super sleepy right now. Am exhausted from attending to a hyper baby the whole day, and guess what? He was fussing non stop with the hubby and when he passed the baby to me in exasperation, Jerry just dropped into dreamland! And ya, I’m holding him in one hand and typing this with the other.. I wish I could just drop off and go to bed too! At der’s grandparents place now. Gotta run some errands later before I could pop home.. Gosh. Why do the weekends pass so fast?!

  • Me-time.

    Painting my nails are like the only me-time I get for myself these days, mainly because the vapor’s bad for the baby so he has to be AWAY from me. But I do think it’s also hard work and I’ll rather go sit at the manicurist and get my nails painted. But, my new nail resolution is that I need to justify the existence of all those pots of polishes I have in lying around in the house… Many of which are brand new. OPI colour – Jade is the new Black Changed out my nail color last night, because my nails chipped badly and I just had to cut…
