Our Yacht Day!

After deciding on booking a yacht for Renee’s birthday, we were wondering if it was a bit of an extravagance when the cost came up to almost 1.5K…. But fortunately, we have a grand total of FIVE birthdays within the family in April, so it really isn’t that much if you do the division…. (I » Read More

Planning the Big One

The one year milestone has got to be the most important milestone for the simple reason that we all survived it’s the first. I cannot enough emphasize the changes of the first year, both for baby and parents. The physical growth of a baby in their first year is simply astounding. From a limp lump on » Read More

­­An Awakening.

It’s been more than a week since we left for Bintan. I had wanted to blog about it upon our return but Renee came down with an unexplained fever. It eventually went away after 5 days (Thank you God!), but not without a UTI scare from a (probably) contaminated pee sample and many hours of » Read More

Getting to know your Friends (again)

The thing with friends, is that you Think you know them. Then they become parents and you see a side of them you never saw before but perhaps glimpsed at… I recently met up with a friend I haven’t seen in ages. She’s one of those friends that I don’t have to talk to all the » Read More

Our Chinese New Year (Part 2)

<Part 1 is here> On the third day of New Year, we had friends visiting and the entire day passed by in a blur. Renee spent most of the day in her room because she seemed fussy and irritable but we attributed it to lack of sleep and too many new faces. At around midnight, we discovered that » Read More

Our Chinese New Year (Part 1)

I haven’t been excited about Chinese New Year for a long time. In my long time ago teenage days, it felt like a chore to have to dress up, remember all the correct terms for the entire (extended) family, and names of the recent (or not so recent) additions (my memory scores a -1 on a » Read More

Enjoy the process!

The man and I were sitting around talking about our childhoods last week. I don’t remember how the conversation started… It may have been along the lines of what kind of a childhood we thought Renee would have and what kind of parents we would be.

Playground Lesson

We were at Ikea last month and after our meal, I brought Renee to the children’s playground which was right smack in the middle of their cafeteria. It was a lot of fun even for me the adults minding their kids. A little like visiting Discovery Centre because the walls had fun puzzles you could push, » Read More

First Weekend Getaway of 2011!

The first week of 2011 had me two sick babies in the house. The Baby and her Daddy. I was this close to bringing water to The Big Baby Man with a bendy straw although I’ll admit he had reason to want babying– his temperature was above 39deg most parts of the worst 2 days. » Read More
