This was me when I was 6 years old. I had just began taking piano lessons, something that I will continue to do up to my early 20s.
My mother likes to tell this story of how I got started on music classes. We were shopping at Plaza Singapura and had walked passed Yamaha Music School [...]

Our domestic helper has left for her 3-week home leave today.
It is going to be a looooonnng 3 weeks.
Our helper is the ‘invisible’ house elf in Harry Potter – she puts the food away after every meal, brings out the trash, replenishes our closets with clean and freshly pressed clothes while we get [...]
Lunch

It’s not a lot of variety. My lunches are usually a combination of somen with a meat dish and salad or a sandwich of sorts.
My favorite lunch was the time when I had stir-fried pork with the leftover rice and miso soup. It was the most enjoyable lunch I’ve had all month. Of course [...]
My Weight Gain
Posted in Daily musings, Me stuff, Xinyue on August 24, 2009 | 4 Comments »
From the deep recesses of my hard disk, I found these 2 incriminating files which I will now share with you, my dear friends.
At a gynae visit during my early pregnancy, I was asked to monitor my weight gain during pregnancy.
“1 kg each week from the 12th week onwards until …”
There was obviously [...]
Weekend bags

I have been looking for a nice weekend bag.
Something with wide straps that will not slip off my shoulders when I chase my toddler around, large enough for necessities plus a small digital camera, an extra diaper and change of clothes for Xy. Or something light and small just roomy enough for a wallet and [...]

You know the Green Day song?
I listened to it last night and instantly felt my mood lifted.
Whenever I hear this song, I’d imagined that I was lying on a vast country field of soft green grass, daydreaming under the clear cloudless blue sky. Cool breezes sweep past, rustling the blades of grass.

My 1 week break
Posted in Daily musings, Me stuff, Work on August 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I took a week’s break from work after National Day, just to take a breather from the hum-drums of work.
I got to meet up with my dear friend for lunch where we caught up on family and work news. We visited Ion (FINALLY!) together and walked until our feet almost killed us. I cleared [...]

The Scribble application on my iPhone has proven to be quite a useful tool in keeping my very active daughter in her car seat, albeit for a while.
She’d drag shaky lines across the screen of my phone with her tiny fingertips while I help her switch colours every once in a while.
Some of her [...]

All so simple yet stunning, especially those from the Noisy Plume. I’ve always been a huge fan and her pieces just fly off the shelf once they are listed! In fact, sales are so brisk that her new Etsy listings never got to appear [...]
Hello?

For the past couple of days, I called home in the afternoons to check on Xy who has had a bout of viral fever.
Naturally, my MIL put the little one on the phone so that she can hear mummy’s voice. Sometimes my daughter mistakes me for her aunt, who has been calling her regularly [...]
