And just like that, 2016 came and went. "What a year, can't wait for it to be over", I texted my BFF as I waited 4 minutes to countdown with the family. "But that's what you said about 2015!" she reminded me. *** As much as I wasn't too attached to 2016 enough to miss it in the first few hours of 2017, it sure wasn't as shitty as end-2014 & 2015. Much to my disbelief, quite a lot ... Read More
And so I turned 32
My 32nd birthday came and went despite my best efforts to have it planned. There were intentions to make good use of the company's staff "birthday leave" benefit by spending it with the 3 boys, with hopes that we would end the night over dinner and drinks, couple style. But of course, the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray. The husband had to cancel his leave last minute. We ... Read More
2015 – a year of unexpectedness
2015, what a year. I remember starting out the year unsure of what I wanted to make the year to be about. After all, I had barely recovered from the tumultuous year of change 2014 threw at us, and was absolutely thankful that we were able to start 2015 happily as a family, spending quality time together filled with fun trips to Universal Studios Singapore, the beach, various outdoor playgrounds ...

What Christmas Means to Our Family
Growing up, Christmas was always surrounded with joy, wonder and magic. As not everyone in the family was a Christian, and those who were, were taught and reminded to be Christ-like and have Christ in our heart on a daily basis; Christmas often took on a more secular celebration within the extended family, with love as its protagonist. Christmas was pretty much the biggest occasion celebrated ... Read More
Ollie’s One! We did a cake smash photography session to celebrate!
I got pretty emotional on the eve of Oliver James's first birthday last month. On one hand, I couldn't believe how one year flew by without me actually realising that little O was now 12 months old instead of 3. On the other, I still remembered the turmoil that took place a year ago - it was my last visit/checkup at the gynae's clinic at week 39 and doc handed me admission papers for Mt ... Read More
Oliver’s 1st Birthday – A DREAM BIG, Peanuts / Snoopy Themed Party
Last month we celebrate Oliver's FIRST birthday with a party! Initially, I was enthusiastic about going ahead with the husband's suggestion and try something new - celebrating Ollie's birthday with a family getaway which would allow us uninterrupted and alone with the kids - that I even applied a passport for Oliver right after our discussion and checked out every travel eDM that landed in my ...

Summarising Sweet September
September was a really special & significant month for me. It was a special month for me because it was Ollie's birth month. Seeing how our little Ollie grew from the pint size cutie that he was when we brought him to our new home to the chubby, cheeky boy that he's grown to become made my heart weep with joy and contentment. Oh how I wished I could re-live moments from his first 12 months ... Read More
And the grieving continues
Since the really, really sad news on Monday morning, I've been doing my best to hold back tears. It wasn't until CNA started interviewing those who came to pay their respects and offer their condolences at the Istana on Monday afternoon and interviewed this particular lady who was all teary-eyed that tears of my own started to fall... Liam asked if he did anything wrong to incur such sadness ... Read More
2014 – A crazy year of change and firsts
When the Bo & I first declared 2014 to be a year of change on 31 Dec 2013, never in our wildest thoughts did we anticipate the craziness it will take us through. We got our first big news of change in January, when we found ourselves pregnant with our 2nd child right after we talked about trying for another addition to the family despite knowing the odds of success stacked against us. That ... Read More
To my one month old Ollie
Dear Rolly Polly (Ollie), WHAT A MONTH IT HAS BEEN! A month of overwhelming changes, overwhelmingly good changes. A month of re-learning. A month of adjusting. A month of emotional highs and lows. A month of growth, physically and mentally. And a month of thankfulness. There's so much to say that I don't know where to start. Do I start by telling you about the super nanny ... Read More
