A chapter ends, another about to begin!

Woohoo my maternity leave has officially started! I’m so excited to begin my 16-week break from work, thanks to the generous maternity leave benefits of our government! I know it’s not exactly a “holiday” as I’ll probably be facing some pretty challenging nights ahead with a newborn who would need to be fed every » Read More

The End of a Trimester

How time has flown. At 27 weeks, I’m now nearing the end of my second trimester and have one week left before I hit the final home stretch. Just like what all pregnant women before have affirmed, the past three months have truly been the easiest and most enjoyable part of the pregnancy. Energy and alertness » Read More

Renee’s First Haircut!

Ok, I should add a disclaimer to that. I really mean her first paid haircut. I’ve tried my hand at cutting her fringe a few times. She usually ends up with an asymmetrical fringe… (but isn’t that all the rage now? hehe) but thankfully it grows out quite quickly… Her crowning glory has been much talked » Read More

Celebrating the beauty of the bump

This post is all about celebrating the beauty of the baby bump! I’m so glad to be pregnant in this modern day, when pregnancy is considered beautiful and not a dreaded condition to be “endured”. This is in stark contrast to a couple of decades ago when the growing belly had to be hidden under loose » Read More

Children’s Performance

Every child is different! All my 3 kids have totally different personalities despite coming from the same factory. Nathan recently had a performance at school. For him, it was sort of a "coming of age" milestone, as he does not really like public performances. Unlike Nicole, Nathan tends to shun the limelight – However, both Daddy » Read More

Celebrating the Good Things in Life

Aaahhhh! Is it me or does the air smell extra sweet right after a vacation? Anyhow, I think the time is just ripe to do a post on celebrating the GREAT things in life! This is going to be a photo-heavy entry. I guess it more than makes up for the recent image-sparse posts. » Read More

The Talk with the Man from Mars

I recently had a conversation with Tim about his views on our upcoming parenthood, and how he envisioned a typical day to be like with Boubbles in our lives. It was reminiscent of a conversation I initiated prior to our wedding, when I asked him to share his thoughts on how he expected married life to be. Both times, he answered » Read More

The Power of Sign Language

I have read much about the power of sign language.  In fact, many baby websites and books advocate teaching your child sign language as a powerful educational tool of earlier communication. It is supposed to lessen frustration for parent and child because they can communicate their wants/needs even before they can talk. It made sense to » Read More

Wake Up. Have Sex. Go to Polling Station.

Okay, this post actually has nothing to do with the title. It’s just a convenient way to remind the wife what’s going to happen tomorrow morning when we wake up. After all, with her pregnancy-addled mind, we wouldn’t want to do things the wrong way round, right? Wake up. Go to Polling Station. Have Sex = » Read More

Caught in the fever!

Election fever has really gripped our tiny nation in the past week or so. Almost all the conversations I’ve had with friends and colleagues recently have revolved around the daily developments of the campaigns and rallies, and/or laughing about the spoofs and jokes circulating around online. Tim and I have been spending many hours on the » Read More
