2011.
Wow, what a year it has been. 8 months of anticipation. 8 months of worry. 8 months of planning. 8 months of hoping. And the remaining 4 months? A heady combination of joy, frustration, smugness, desperation, learning and horniness. And that’s just the work. Okay, it’s not the work. Horniness has no place at work, »

I found myself getting royally annoyed with my 4-month-old daughter last Thursday.
I guess it was a simple case of mis-matched expectations.
I expected to be able to sleep through the night, go to work, come home, play with her a little, then go through the cycle again.
She expected to be able to wake up at any »

Before moving on to the entry proper, I would like to invite you to join me for a minute’s silence. A friend’s ordeal has reminded me how painful it can be when you so desperately want kids, but nothing works.
Worse still, something seems to work, but it turns out to be a cruel joke by »

Wow. How time flies. It’s been almost 1.5 months since my last blog entry (and I promised to blog twice a month!).
In baby terms, Coco has grown from this:
(early September)
to this:
(mid-October)

Despite my rather melancholic last post, I’ve been having a great »

The first two weeks of Colette’s entrance into our lives were, to say the least, traumatic.
The first night we brought her home, she was bawling her lungs out pretty much the entire night. We fed her, carried her, cuddled her, cleaned her, swaddled her and prayed that she would go to sleep. But no…. she »

NOTE: The wife and I decided to write this particular story separately and post them up together. Thought it would be interesting to see if we remembered the same things!
It was Sunday morning. I woke and rolled over to the wife, intending to give her a light kiss on her forehead. But she was already »

“So, will you be doing any bump shots?”
“No, but I know you will. You and Yi Lin are so into photography I’m not surprised!”
I was chatting with my friend Celine a couple of months back, a hot babe who still looks hot despite being 7 months pregnant (she’s due somewhere around National Day).
“Yeah.” I replied. »

I had come home for a change of clothes and was putting on my shoes and saw my brother-in-law also preparing to leave the house.
“Hey, where are you going? I’m headed to Tampines Mall. Want a ride?”
“Nah, it’s okay. Thanks. What are you going to Tampines Mall for?”
“Gonna watch Harry Potter. With another girl!”
“What? Why »

Sorry for the long absence. I was actually planning to blog about something else I learnt during antenatal class, but every time I tried to type something about massages, I get so comfortable I fall asleep. Yeah… my massages are that good. Just the thought of them is enough to totally relax anyone. *grin*
But falling »

So, a couple of weeks back, I went for breastfeeding class. It was a roaring success.
Haha… seriously, I WAS at breastfeeding class, but obviously not as an instructor. The class was part of the antenatal program that KKH organises for clueless parents-to-be and a nominal fee. The thing about these classes at KKH is that »
