Finally a day for myself

Decided that I needed a day off from kids. So here I am sitting at the cafe having cheesecake and tea, enjoying myself and the view.

A surprise gift for him

Hope he’ll like it and wear it often. 🙂

10 years old marriage

This photo hangs in our bedroom wall. A good reminder of why we hold our hands and walked the past 10 years together. To many more years till eternity….

Speak Up Speak UP!

Have you ever experienced being so upset and frustrated at yourself that you really feel like doing something to change yourself? 

I feel this every time after a call or situation where i should have spoken up or at least made some noise so that people remember my existence. And not just say “Hi” at the beginning of the meeting and “Thank you” at the end. I hate myself whenever i am caught in such situation. I hate it when I don’t have the confidence to express my thoughts. I hate it when other’s opinions and thoughts matter so much to me. 

Why can’t i just speak up???? 

Urgh….

Whenever I am pregnant, I always have constipation.  Hate it. I feel hungry and eat my meals. But end up feeling bloated every time cos I haave difficulty passing motion.

Think I should make it a point to drink at least 6 glasses of water everyday. I do eat fruits and veg, drink soup and beverages,  but not enough water. I need to!

I have put on at least 2 kgs these 2 weeks of feasting and CNY celebration. So it makes me feel worse. . 😥

Wide awake and hungry!

Starting to have hunger pangs in the middle of the night. Just had some of these delicious Chinese New Year snacks at midnight…. when I am supposed to be sleeping cos I need to be up in 4 hours to prepare the kids for school.

Urgh. …..I shouldnt have drank the ice lemon tea during lunch today. I have a feeling thats keeping me awake now.

Baby No. 3

Today, at Dr Esther Ng’s clinic, we confirm that baby no. 3 is coming. What a surprise still, even though i found out through the test kit yesterday already. Nick and I are still reeling in shock and talking about how we will be starting baby-hood all over again. It was a huge surprise, but yet to some extent, I should have known that we did took risks. So we were also quite prepared for what may be coming. 

So it is here indeed. 5 weeks old. Just a dot in the water sac. Amazing creation by God. I always marvel at how we can create new lives that easily. Maintaining and building the new additions are the tough ones. But i think we are both looking forward to a new addition. It feels good to relive the old times. However, I am not so looking forward to the bad nauseousness and morning sickness. Praying it will go away fast.. or not come at all!

Boy’s Pri School

Matt is finally going to Primary school! Can’t help but wonder if he will be able to cope. Not worried, just curious and looking forward to see how he will be adapting. 

Am sure he can adapt well.

Been praying for him and I know he is in good hands.

Matthias’ lost toy

I need to help Matthias find his Ninja warrior. He has been bugging me to look for it since he lost it last week. Must be somewhere in the house… or rather we think it is in some corner in the house
