Happy Mother's Day - 08 May 2011

this is the 4th year that I am celebrating as a Mom (in the 1st one, li'l missy was only less than a month old!)... but its the 1st time I'm getting presents... :)


li'l missy made this bracelet for me in playschool - she couldn't wait to give it to me. since she only goes to school on Mon, Tues and Thurs, I received this early present on the 05 May. Thank you sweetie! Mommy loves it...

dh got me a present too - instead of getting one for our wedding anniversary, which falls on 10 May (we've been married for 8 years now!)...

I think its really a present for himself - he has been fascinated with them since he first laid eyes on the Nespresso machines! haha... I don't even really drink coffee to begin with but this machine 'processes' tea capsules too and that's why we chose this over the Nepresso machines. But anyhow, a nice machine to have when my guests come over and I love having people over! I just need to learn how to froth milk in the proper way for cappucinos!

our usual Sunday routine revolves around breakfast, groceries shopping, fish shopping and prawn fishing... but I was asked what I would like to do today. to be honest, it really did not matter what we did as long as we were together as a family... so I turned to my li'l missy and asked her what she would like to do instead. she chose to go 'sand-castle beach' so we made our way to sentosa.


we started off at the underwater world since Chace has never been there before and he loves fishes! there are some additions to the exhibits at the underwater world since our last visit. At the entrance, there's now a 'turtle pond' with quite a few turtles - unfortunately I think there's too little space for these magnificient sea creatures. On the other side on the entrance, there was a child and his father learning to snorkel and there were plenty of rays swimming in the water. don't have any nice photos to show. :P


as usual, I am fascinated with the leafy sea dragon and couldn't help taking yet another photo of it.

we couldn't view the exhibits in underwater world in peace coz li'l missy kept bugging us to bring her to 'sand castle beach' - we gave in to her whining eventually and ended up at 'trapizza'. a nice spot where we could sit in cool comfort and sip our drinks while watching the two of them play.

Chace enjoying a little bit of sunshine (check out his tummy!)


Claire feeling the heat

she didn't last too long out in the sun though and bugged us to get home so we had to quickly tabao some food and head home - this little bit of Sun morning activity cost us about $100; anyone still thinks Singapore is NOT expensive to live in?

i've been blessed...

once more!! the regular meetup kah-kis were just talking about this last week... about how as we move further away from the newborn stage, the less inclined we would be to have another one! one of us even set the dateline for june 09 to hit the jackpot (its not me! i'm terrible with datelines!)! so now i have an explanation for the weight gain, the sore nipples when li'l one nurses and my craving for meat! bring me the churrascaria anytime! i now have a legitimate reason to pig out! :P on a more serious note, will i have enough love to go around? will i have the time and energy to chase after a active toddler and at the same time, change nappies & nurse every hour? how will li'l one take to her new sibling? and most importantly - will the new sibling be a 'meimei' or 'didi' for li'l one? i suppose - only time will tell!

strawberry milk?

warning: graphic post i've always thought that bfing gets easier (& better) with subsequent children - because you are supposed to know what to do already! unfortunately though, i am still dodged by the same problems 2nd time round... its largely because my li'l prince decides that night feeds are not important & me, being the 'lazy' one, choosing sleep over clearing the milk ducts... now i'm in so much pain that i'm close to shouting out my entire vocabulary of expletives at the top of my voice! doesn't help that dh doesn't appreciate nor empathise with me! and oh, that's milk tinged with blood by the way & not strawberry milk! i had to use needles to poke and try to find the blocked ducts - that's the reason for the blood. no fun at all... i gave up after 15 mins w/o finding all the spots.
