For the first time in my life, I was excited about going to an IT show. Yes, even I am surprised.
Of course, I owed my excitement to my planned laptop purchase during the show. So understandably, after I bought my laptop, my patience started running out. It didn’t help that it was the end of [...]

I remember hearing the song for the first time when I saw the Nike ad.
I was, and still am blown away. The song never fails to put me in a happy mood. I wanna dance whenever i hear it! Except that I don’t know how to without embarrassing myself… heh.
Back in the saddle again

I have never been one to treat my body like a temple. I hardly exercise and would eat whatever I like when not plagued by my weight gaining fears. I used to scoff at people who pop supplements religiously and go to lengths to control their diet.
Being a mother has changed that. There is nothing [...]

Having gotten the go-ahead to start on semi-solids, my daughter is already making her own lunch selections.
I wonder when she’s going to demand for a car…
Xinyue – 4 months

Xinyue is now 4 months. She is now able to keep her back, neck and head steady without support, which makes it easier for us to carry her or have her lean on our stomachs when she sits upright. Her legs are also getting stronger and she can rest her weight on her feet while [...]

Autobiography of a One-Year-Old by Rohan Candappa
I bought this on Saturday while out with my mum at Kino Bugis. It is obviously a tongue-in-cheek account of the everyday experiences with a baby by a cynical yet funny parent. The kid categorises parents as either “Smooth” or “Hairy”. I am two [...]

Sunday : Baby woke up at 3am to play [...]

Miss Singapore 2008

Our daughter has uncanny timing with her toilet breaks. She would choose the most opportune time to relief herself, in the messiest manner you can ever imagine. She would either ambush you with a stream of warm pee right after you remove her diaper. Alternatively, when she is in between a diaper change, she kicks [...]
All by myself (well, almost)

KJ got back from his one week reservist on Friday. In a flash, the 8 days of training is over.
It wasn’t so bad because he got to come back for a couple of hours on most nights. He’d take a quick shower, play with the baby while I tend to my things, then leave for [...]
