Have you ever had a tune stuck inside your head ?
Sometimes, it could just be the kiddy songs from the baby’s various gadgets, other times the irritatingly catchy pop song that you happen to hear on radio that morning.
For the past 2 weeks, it has been the OST from the Mamma Mia! movie. Dancing Queen is [...]

Xy woke up with a runny nose this morning and started having a temperature after breakfast. We quickly whisked her to the PD before the clinic closes for the weekend.
An hour later we returned home with a colorful assortment of medicinal solutions. Red, pink, orange, yellow. It was like a cocktail party for babies. No [...]

I used to go for kick-boxing classes at the gym near my ex-office. There is just something quite liberating about punching and kicking the air pretending to be Rocky Balboa, a much prettier and younger version no less.
Recently my company organised an evening kick-boxing class and I signed myself up immediately. When Tuesday rolled around, I attended my [...]

I would like to introduce you to my daughter, the computer genius.
This was xy 4 months ago. Since then, she’s been eagering hitting my laptop and pushing my mouse about whenever she sits at my desk.
We bought her her very own laptop on Saturday. Now she can save the world while she’s travelling in the car, [...]
What’s for dinner?

Inspired by a couple of recipes I stumbled upon, I plan to cook dinner for my folks this weekend.
First up, The Best Broccoli of Your Life found on the delightful Amateur Gourmet’s blog:
I wonder if this is enough to sway KJ from his non-vege diet.
In case the broccoli fails to get KJ’s attention, there is always [...]
Xinyue : 11 months

1 more month to Xy’s 1st birthday!
She now babbles monosyllabic words over and over. Papa (KJ), Mama (could mean me or grandma), Mimi (as in mummy), Meimei (Angel), Halo (hello), Baybee (baby) and the most puzzling of all, Kng Kah. We have no idea what the last one meant but she says that all the [...]
Some childhood faves

Recently I came across a couple of my favourite things to eat as a child and I wanted to share it with you.
1. Nin Jiom Pei Pa Ko (京都念慈菴川貝枇杷膏)
Haha. I can see you scratching your heads. Cough syrup?
I recently had a scratchy throat and bought a small bottle. The minute I tasted the thick [...]

Lil’ Miss Fusspot
Posted in Parenting, Xinyue on March 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
My baby is becoming a little fusspot. Recently, she started to display her displeasure very openly when things don’t go her way.
For example, she loves to sink her teeth into anything she gets her hands on. At any time, she is likely to be gnawing on something (never food that she’s supposed to eat though) [...]
