A Mother’s Monologue

This last holiday, I took the girls out with T1’s school mates to watch Toy Story 3 at The Gardens. Of course, it was T1’s day out, T2 just tagged along as a matter of course. Actually, she asked if she could stay home alone so she could crawl to all those plug points that [...]

This is a wayyyyyyyyyy back-dated post but one that is nice to have because others can see what the place is like if they have never been.

I was very fortunate to have been able to join some fabulous ladies for a laughing night out last month, thankfully organised by what the Hubs calls the SC woman, the banker.

If I had my way, I’d be blogging everyday but because I have to care for T2 on a full time basis and she hardly ever sleeps, this is almost impossible. Yesterday, we spent the day at Nana’s and T2 only slept for half an hour the entire day. And at Nana’s I had at [...]

It’s now been 2 months since my Filipino helper decided to give me a birthday present. I will not lie. Life has been tough. Very tough. Tougher still because I have what the Doctor calls Stress Induced Asthma (on top of my normal asthma). And when your baby cries non-stop, you start to hyperventilate. Your [...]

Why is it that whenever I have tons of assignments to do and purposefully load myself up with caffeine in preparation for burning the midnight oil just to make a measly USD80 (of which I am desperate for, mind you), my baby will undoubtedly decide to find every reason under the sun to stop me [...]
