Over here in Singapore, not many celebrate Halloween, I guess you'll see more halloween parties at the clubs/disco for the adults rather than kids. Therefore, trick or treat doesn't happen door to door. Nonetheless, I have fun snapping photos away on Halloween as my darlings are awake! have a SCARY HALLOWEEN! Technorati Tags: grace , seth

I am excited. Excited for the fact that we are coming to the 2nd last month of the YEAR! Thrilled that November is going to be a fabulous month, with good happenings. Though, yes, I need to be going back to work 3rd week of November. But nothing beats thinking of the things that are coming forth which are all good. I have been having late nites, which stretches till 4-5am, that somehow cause me to have memory blocks. Whenever I think of something that requires me to act on, next moment, I can completely lost the thought and wondering what was needed for me to do? I hope I am not getting dementia at this age! :( Anyway, I hope this week pass fruitfully for me, accomplishing more stuffs/projects. Soon, I need to countdown to the days I will be returning to work, being a FTWM again. Oh, ya, how I dread it but I've got no choice now. Boss requires me to return back to work early, and I have to ensure I have another bridge to cross over before I burn this one... How cruel am I? Here'

Just some random shots of Grace that I've taken today. She's so grown up already! She started smiling to me on 24th October . What a milestone. < Technorati Tags: PrincessGrace

the POLICE . It's soo irritating to have my neighbor from downstairs, to PUMP up the volume every single day, it has been so for almost the whole of the week. It's not only a couple of hours, but its the whole DARN DAY!! How irritating can it get?!?!?! Crazy or what? I know, its the day time now, it's ok, but for such a long period of time, and always repeating the same song, how will you feel. Ok, harmonious... between races. But I can't stand the indian songs arh!!! I feel like giving them a BIG . I believe it's only 1 person at home to listen but does she has to pump up the volume till the whole HDB block can hear IDIOTIC!!! Tell me, tell me what should I do?? 1. I pump up my volume but Grace's 2. Confrontational by me 3. Call Police Technorati Tags: mommy's rants

sleeping. Have been on late nights for half of the week. Tiredness but I seems to be getting Jet-lag as when past midnight, I will be so awake! These two days, Grace have been pretty whiny in the nights, getting her to bed is challenging for both Olive Tree and me. Especially there's Seth who also needs the attention. Pheeew.... hope it's a phase that pass very fast. ZZZZZzzzzzz.... Technorati Tags: mommy's rants

Another weekend comes and I feel that the time I spend at home now pass by like tornado! URRRGH! I have so much things in mind to do and so little time. Soon, I will have to return back to workforce which I super drag... =( Wish I will be much more productive next week and Grace will be napping well in the afternoon and that will leaves me good time to do my projects. This was taken on Wed, when I was on the bed playing with Grace. This is how she looks like now at almost 7 weeks. We went out shopping today with my SIL. She came by our place and we decided to drop by Ngee Ann City and check out the Aut/Wint wear there. Seth was happy to be able to see his Aunt again. He missed her. We bought this Tee from Life baby and it's really cute. I've got some great finds today and so happy about it. I read from one of the inspiring blogs, which now I forgot who was it, about Envirosax and love the funky, cool designs of the bags. They make good bags to carry around for your groceries,

Another week passed, time flies and Grace's already 1.5 months old. It has been life changing with the new addition to the family. Juggling both the prince and princess, learning to handle the stress that comes with it. Although things can get a little crazy but the joy outweigh the stress and the tiredness. Joy of seeing how the both royalties grow and also how Seth dotes his sister. Endearing. Tried taking the photo of Grace and me. with my PnS. This princess of mind takan me today. She was sleeping on and off again. Aiyo. I can't even go to the toilet to shit!! When I get up from the sofa, she'll stir and then whine and cry. She got me stuck to her from morning till later afternoon! Can't do much things. I've planned to do my mom's alteration of shirts and clean up my mess on table and scraproom. But alas, nothing was accomplished except to do the dishes after my lunch. See how fierce this Grace is? Yesterday, Olive Tree was busy packing the storeroom, the sc

It's such a terrible day to past by. Grace napping on off for the whole day. Breastfed her, change her diaper, rock her to sleep etc and all she can manage is only at most 20 mins of sleep and then the cycle goes again. I don't know if it's due to the change of environment as I brought her to mom's today. The surroundings could be very alien to her. When we got home,. I thought it would be better but seemingly the same vicious cycle goes. Olive Tree and I can almost pull our hair out! It's not helping when the brother, Seth wants the attention as well and pestering the daddy for this and that. Olive Tree needs to clear the old cupboard as the new one we ordered is coming tomorrow. So many stuffs to clear from that almost collapsing cupboard. Poor thing. Praying that Grace will sleep throughout tonight and also Seth will stop his tantrums and shouting soon. Hope the phase goes over fast.

So love this very official photo of our family. :) This shot was taken with some difficulty as Seth was very active then and was playing with the sliding door.... I have to get the position right, aim and start the self-timer, grabbed Seth and with all that, be ready for the shot! Thank God, it's a great shot, as all of us are looking at the camera, even Baby Grace! :D What an accomplishment. Technorati Tags: Family

Mom went home last night. That marked the end of her stay with us for my confinement period. I feel so emotional about it. It's the same when I was in confinement after I gave birth to Seth. Geez, the heart felt so aching (though it's only her going back home). Spending time with her during the period was filled with a minor downs but there's no overnight grudges kinda of thing. Mom has always been taking good care of us, in terms of trying to provide us with good food, good cooking, care and love in her ways. Though at times, her demands can be quite "out of this world" but nonetheless she's my mom. I enjoy the period she pampered me with tonics, doing the chores for us. Her actions can be very normal but I know that things she did was out of pure concern for us. The way she brighten up when she sees Seth in the morning, when she talks to Grace while carrying her in the arms. Heartwarming. Oh, even when I am writing this, I can tear a bit. See how much I'

Seth woke up from his afternoon nap. He walked out of the bedroom and I was in the living room. Started to warm up a bit, and then he drove his fire engine truck around the living room. Next moment, here's what he was singing, Jesus loves me, yes I know, For the bible tells me noe, Didder one to him bidon, Yes, Jesus, loves me..... I thought I have heard wrongly, and he was repeating the song again and again. It's amazing for me. :) The effects of singing lullaby to your kid. They do remember!!! And can sing out almost 70% of the song, though the pronunciation may not be there for some words. But he gets the tune correct. It's so cute and heartwarming to hear that from my boy.

We celebrated Grace's Full Month on Sunday. It was a small affair with relatives and close friends. There were quite a lot of kids especially with those from Olive Tree's side. We catered the buffet from Mum's Kitchen, not bad just a tad bit salty for some dishes. here's the photo taken from yesterday. Have posted the video I've done for Grace's Baby Shower here .
