Finally. I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time now. Having observed the first trimester wait, I proudly announce that hubby and I are expecting our first child. This was my little announcement via Instagram and Facebook: Unfortunately, some didn’t understand this picture. I think it would have been clearer with shoes, but we haven’t bought any baby…

it isn’t the same i suppose
Humans are humans. We are biased just like that. Something mildly amusing happened to me this afternoon while I was opening a checking account at one of the banks. This lovely bank officer girl was serving me and of course like all sales staff do, she tried to sell me something else. She was explaining that they have a savings…
tired of the world
Just watching the drama on Amos Yee unfold on Facebook. Some of us would recognise him as the boy who acted in Jack Neo’s movie. If you don’t know what happened, Amos got arrested for posting a hate video where he rejoiced over Lee Kuan Yew’s death and made some remarks about the Christian faith. And this is not the…
pray for me, will you?
I initially wanted to post a follow up entry on Lee Kuan Yew, but something else came up this morning that bothers me a lot. I don’t want to talk about it now (probably will in time to come). Just pray for me, will you?
thank you, sir
Yesterday, Singaporeans woke up to the grim news that our founding father had passed on. I knew that it was just a matter of time, but I still felt a little tinge of sadness in my heart. We may disagree with some words that he said, even to the point of resentment, but we cannot deny that without Lee Kuan…
spring time at starbucks
Every time March comes around, I get pretty excited because it’s time to check out the spring time merchandise at Starbucks! Specifically, the Sakura series. It started out in Japan, but slowly other Asian countries (including Singapore) caught on. So what’s this year’s picks? Starbucks Japan Bolder colours like hot pink and yellow seem to be adopted for this year’s…
meh the huat be with you
Happy Birthday everyone! Today is the seventh day of Chinese New Year, which is also known as 人日 or all man’s birthday. Haven’t been finding the time to settle down to write an entry for Chinese New Year. This year has been a bit quiet as my in-laws have chosen not to go visiting. We did however have a feast…
settling kids down for lunch
Settling down for lunch with four young kids is no joke. It doesn’t matter if there are seven adults at the table, chaos still ensues. To make things worse, we were at the ever-popular Itacho. The queue is usually long so the wait for a table is about half an hour or more. I was there early to queue for…
rude relatives and relations
Rude relatives and relations, oh what would you do without them? They criticise every damn thing about you and all you can do is pretend that it doesn’t get to you. The closest one to me has already said that I can’t do household chores and cook. She proclaims that I know nuts about fashion, make up, investment, etc. She…
the big midnight scare
A health-related entry…maybe I should create a category for such entries…hmmm… So I had this huge scare early this morning that resulted in a trip down to the 24hr clinic. It started last night while I was in the bath. For some strange reason, I had a strong urge to pee. Even after I emptied my bladder, I still felt…
