And here are some pix of me, handling the chores on my own.  Plenty of clothes to fold and iron…

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?

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 she [...]

April 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

The time has come again…. Time for horrible hair days… for months…

25/3, Lizzie is 3.5mths old, that day, I [...]

Mummy Wear Spectacles

April 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

I had PERFECT PERFECT eyesight till 2004.  I could see the bus number when the bus is still at the earlier bus stop!  Hiaz… all changed since I gave birth to my first child.  Not sure whether it is due to age, or due to the fact that I cried during my confinement, my eyesight [...]

Nanyang Alumni organised a CNY celebration event for the 3 Nanyang schools to get together.  This year it was held at the new NYGH campus on Linden Drive. (well, new to me… cos my days were spent at the old King’s road campus, which is actually Nanyang Primary now.)

The Stress…

February 4th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized

The stress of having the family dynamics changed showed itself.  Even though I’m quite sure it is what all kids does, but i just found it more pronounced in Donald and Toria ever since Liz was born.

Post Confinement Depression?

February 1st, 2009 · 9 Comments · Uncategorized

Is there such a thing?
Maybe it was just stress, but many evenings, around 8pm, I would be weepy, tearing or crying.  Why?
Normally, our dinner is around 630pm.  Baby is suppose to feed at 615pm, then have a long nap from 7-10pm.  I would breastfeed her, then have my dinner later when she is sleeping. But [...]
