• A day at the zoo!

    We haven’t visited the Singapore Zoological Gardens for a while, and when we got the memo that Jerry’s school has an outing, I made the husband take leave with me to attend the session. After all, daddy’s gotta be involved too right? (p.s. I didn’t realise that monday was a PH then and we accidentally clocked in a super long weekend!) Jerry was super excited on the school bus. He wasn’t all the usual grumpy him when he told him we are going to the zoo! He must have thought it was a super happy day that daddy and mummy are coming along with him. It was a half day…

  • Sydney Wild Life Zoo @ Sydney Darling Harbour

    if you are wondering, i’m still at day 4 of my trip and I have 5 more days to blog about….Some times, I get stressed thinking about how I am going to find the time to jot all my memories of my trip down, but small baby steps.. i’ll get there somehow. you guys bear with me alright? So, we headed to the Sydney Wild Life Zoo as the last destination for the day. We were pretty zonked out having visited the Sydney’s Maritime Museum, Sydney Sea Life Aquarium & Madame Tussauds all in the same day. I would’t recommend it doing the way i did because we were pretty…

  • a family trip to river safari for panda visiting!

    as i was typing the blog header, i got reminded about the joke of panda taking pictures – they only turn out black and white!! ok, not funny. some weeks back when my extended family was in town for my grandpa’s birthday, we made an impromptu trip to river safari to check out the pandas. I think it made my uncle’s day. He was really excited about the pandas. i was so hyped up about going on a family outing (together with my mum cos she hardly goes anywhere!) that i almost forgot about the rescheduled teacher-parent meeting in jerry’s school. Thank god the school is just a couple of…

  • a date with Dr. Brady Barr.

    pardon the radio silence on the blog front for the past week. mummy me has been struggling with a full time job (with long hours) and a sick baby with an intense medication schedule and clocking in no more than 4hrs sleep daily. daddy wasn’t around all week but I’m glad to report I’m out in the sunshine now. baby is better (but still on medication), daddy is back and I spent an entire day sleeping away over the weekend so all is good..   except, maybe its my turn to fall sick cos I have been sneezing and sniffing non stop since morning. bah.   nonetheless, we had a…

  • My baby jerry Choo at 7 months.

    Happy 7 months old, baby! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind the past month, with him going through a lot of firsts. First time at the zoo, first time being sick, first time on the nebulizer machine, first stand, first few steps with support, first time sitting up by himself, first time taking the milk bottle and feeding himself, first climb, first self stand without support.. Gosh. Has it only been a month? It felt like eons! First time exploring his brand new playpen.. First zoo trip, checking out the wallabies. First sitting up by himself.. First climb.. First stand.. First major sickness.. (and first x-ray for the matter)…

  • 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…

  • the family

    the festive period is a bad time to catch up on my blog entries since I have so much work to do – housework/cleaning up the house, serving my elders, being the unofficial official photographer. last night, when i had the most free time, i spent hours going through my mobile hard disk and pulling out the family pictures to be plonk into the 15″ digital photo frame that my uncle bought. 6 months ago, the family gathered for grandpa’s birthday and we took a road trip to malacca that i totally forgot to blog about. it was a rather stressful trip but a good attempt as we got everyone…

  • taipei, day 5 aka last day

    am a little thankful for the 2 days MC, because it allows me to take things slow, not stress myself over work (even though i replied a few emails), and simply rest and rest. 🙂 day 5, also our last day in taipei, i DRAGGED der to the zoo! yes. you heard me right, i went to the zoo. and knowing that i am not a fast food fan, day 5 was also a day filled with fast food. Mcdonalds for our breakfast! time to buy lottery already because i am eating fast food. i had the usual hotcakes (at least that’s something no so “fast-foody”), and also ordered a…
