It’s been a mere 6 months since Coco was born, and we have already tried out a variety of ways to tote her around.
Given that most parents will tend to face some sort of a budget/space constraint, I thought it might be useful to list the pros and cons of each item we used, along »

I’ve been posting quite a few photo-filled entries, but you’ll be relieved to know that this post will be photo-less, for obvious reasons.
I must confess: there’s a certain warped fascination parents have over their baby’s poo. A good girlfriend once put it this way: “It’s amazing how you can love everything about someone!”
But seriously, looking »

I can hardly believe it:
WE HAVE BEEN PARENTS FOR HALF A YEAR!
Coco turned six months old on 22 February. We took a quick walk down memory lane (or rather, a quick scroll through iPhoto) to recap how our little family of three has been doing for the past six months.
At the Beginning
Coco entered our world. And »

I recently read an article in Sunday Lifestyle! where the journalist lamented about children driving a wedge between friends i.e. when one party becomes a parent, it is inevitable that lifestyle changes dictate that the dynamics of the relationship also change.

So the story of Cristan’s first CNY continues, with the rest of the celebration in Singapore! Following protocol, the first visit we made was to Ah-Tai, Cristan’s great-grandma!
It’s always such a delight for Ah-Tai to see her great-grandchildren, and despite her age (almost 90!), she’s still strong enough to hold him! (While seated, of course)

I was working on Part 2 of my CNY celebrations when I realised it’s Valentine’s Day today, the day to celebrate LOVE. So I put aside my other draft to write this!

Was it the hustle bustle of visiting families during Chinese New Year that got to my children, making them tired and irritable and therefore very annoying! Or was it just me—– tired and irritable from the same and therefore terribly annoyed? Either way, Kristen , Jairus and Way’s behaviour seemed incredibly out of control! So »

Chinese New Year this year was a real blast! We flew over to Brunei for a week to celebrate the first few days of CNY there, and over the next 2 weekends, managed to celebrate with my side of the family back in Singapore.
It was the first time both Cristan and I celebrated CNY in »

Last week, I wrote about my experience returning to the office as a working mum.
Two lovely readers left comments on the post. Both shared that they felt guilty about spending time away from their babies and in particular, missing their babies’ “firsts”. I have more thoughts to share on that topic but first, I thought »

“A man chasing after his stolen car jumps onto it and struggles to take control of the wheel. After a few exchange of punches, the car thief loses control of the car and hits a tree nearby, flinging the man onto the road while the car thief escapes, injured. There are people at the scene »
