The flood survival kit – don’t leave home without it.

It’s been flooding a lot recently. I didn’t think I’d see entire shops being flooded in Singapore, I mean, you read about this kind of thing in other countries and all my life, I’ve never seen an actual flood. That got me panicking, obviously, because I’ve got to think of contingencies now that I’ve got 2 » Read More

Planning THE holiday (Part 1)

I have mentioned not a few times that travelling is a big thing for me and Dan. Even before Renee arrived, we already planned for our first trip away with her. The place would be Perth for a few reasons : It is a relatively short flight from here to there. The weather would be cool the » Read More

Counting Chances

About 2 weeks ago, I took an afternoon off work to attend a briefing on IVF before we signed the consent papers for the procedure proper. The good student The doctor from the IVF centre took us through the details of the IVF procedure. We were all given a pretty busy flowchart to mentally digest but although » Read More

Fun Activities with the Kids

As a Parent, One is always looking for cheap and entertaining activities to educate the children. The other day, we discovered one of these affordable activites, and we decided to have a cook out at home!

In Appreciation of ART

As everyone now knows, the stork has decided to go AWOL on us so we’re pinning all hopes of becoming parents on In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Talk about putting all your eggs into one basket test-tube. Of course, there’s always the chance of a miracle happening – that we actually conceive naturally – but the situation » Read More

Questions, questions

Last week, Yi Lin and I were snuggled under the covers of our magnificent four-poster bed at bedtime, but were still feeling wide-awake. And we ended up talking about nonsense in general and my blog entry in particular. I told her that the mutant babies I was envisioning were Cyclops and Wolverine of the X-Men (as » Read More

Don’t you give me that look, young man

I’m totally useless when it comes to discipline. Why? Because I can’t keep a straight face while looking at this face. I wasn’t expecting that I’d turn into that parent, the kind whose kid gets away with murder because oh, his mother is a giant softie. The kind that other parents shake their heads and » Read More

So What Does It All Mean?

This post continues from my previous entry, where I blogged about undergoing hysterosalpingography to test for blockage in my fallopian tubes. Two weeks after doing the test, Dan and I revisited my gynae to retrieve the test results. Key findings of the test are highlighted below: REPORT: Patient’s uterus is cannulated with a Foley’s catheter. Wait a minute…chope…choto » Read More

Activities Post Baby

“Activities” is a very loose term. Two people doing different things in the same room could also be termed an activity, ie: chilling together. BUT, that’s not what I’m referring to. I realized that recently, although we aren’t out doing all the things we used to(ie: playing badminton or poker or at the movies), days » Read More

Children’s Birthday Parties (Part 2)

In order for a party to be successful these days, most children’s Parties include a goody bag…and our Milo Party was of no exception. In order to fill our goody bag, we went down to Nestle in Changi Business Park, and through our kind sponsors, we filled our goody bags full of Milo products!     I have never seen » Read More
