We were supposed to leave on 29th May, when our newly employed maid of 4 days dropped a bomb on us. She said she think she cannot handle 3 kids! Anyway, that’s a whole other story, will share that in another post. She told us at about 730pm, the agency is closed, so there’s no [...]

Our June Holiday 2009
May 31st, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
We were already booked for a 8 days trip to Tokyo on the 29th May, but due to the H1N1 outbreak, we decided to monitor the situation but all bookings were still on “go”. Until the final few days, the outbreak spread to Tokyo… Alas, what was not meant to be… we had to cancel [...]

After a Swim
May 28th, 2009 · No Comments · General
Brought the 3 kids for a swim, here’s Lizzie, all wrapped up in a towel, ready for her shower. If not for the “lay-chay-ness” of coordinating the showering of 3 kids and myself, I love to bring them to the pool everyday, cos it knocks them out and they fall asleep so easily when I [...]

Simple Blocks
May 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
I tried to sit down and play with the kids… lego, blocks, drawing, playdoh etc, but I realised that when we were young, we were more creative, able to build or draw many different things, we just went along our wishes and something nice resulted. But now that I am much older, I find that [...]

How I manage without help
May 21st, 2009 · 5 Comments · Uncategorized
So.. how do I manage to get by with a 5 yr old, a 2.5yr old and a 6mths old baby? For one, I don’t cook, I don’t fancy it and I doubt I can cook in peace with a baby who needs to be fed at 5+pm and put to bed by 7pm, plus [...]

High Chair?
May 18th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized
Gave up on my past high chairs. Sold my Aprica “high chair cum bed”, sold my Ikea antilop. Both couldn’t really “fit” into my dining table. They couldnt be flushed against the table, due to height differences. Custom made 2 teak high chair, without buckle type, but she will only be able to sit by [...]

Told ya… with maid, we weren’t so “gung-ho”. Now without maid, we are like testing our limits, bringing them here and there! We went into Msia early in the morning to service the car and change tyres. We came out in the late afternoon, and Daddy suggested Sentosa since weather was alright! We weren’t even [...]

Silly us… when we had a helper, we never did such an adventure. Now with no helper, we “itchy backside”, went to Changi Village for breakfast, but instead decided to have an unplanned-for adventure in Pulau Ubin. Thank goodness for my new found “helper”… my BECO carrier! We took the boat ride over and had [...]

And Our Helper Went Home…
May 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
Wondering why I had not been updating my blog recently? Well, from 2nd May, we are officially “maid-less”! We tried to ask Del to stay because Liz is still so young, it will be difficult for me to change and train a new helper, but she was more keen to look for “expat” families. So [...]

Make Do Easel
May 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Small house, no space for a standalone easel, so this will do. Paste an A3 size plain paper on my cabinet door, Donald will sometimes draw something, or write a chinese sentence or we will do phonics spelling. But I will have to keep a watch out that the pencil doesn’t stray outside the paper. [...]
