FollowI say that coz today, I looked like a ‘soh poh’ (literally means crazy woman) when I wore my mil’s slippers to church LOL!! As usual, we were rushing like mad to reach church on time. I was outside the door of our house and my 2 older gals were wearing their shoes. I was carrying…

Low Fat Or Full Cream?
Each time I drink low fat milk or eat low fat yoghurt, my mil and well-meaning relatives would be commenting that I should not be consuming low fat dairy products since I am breastfeeding exclusively. They tell me that I should be eating full cream dairy products so that my milk would be thicker, thus fills Baby…
I Almost Ate Some Wriggly Worms
A few mornings ago, I cut a passion fruit into half and scooped out the seeds and when I was about to put the spoonful of passion fruit seeds into my mouth, I saw something wriggling amongst the seeds of the passion fruit which was still attached to the skin. On taking a closer look, I was…
Surgeries No More
I hope I never have to undergo another surgery. My Ob&Gyn and gastroenterologist told me after the birth of Baby C recently that my body cannot tolerate another surgery. After each c-section, the tendons, bladder, uterus and other internal organs in my body would adhere to one another, which resulted in my Ob&Gyn having to…
Under The Weather
It’s a bad month. First Alycia was down with throat infection, next was Sherilyn. A week later, Sherilyn developed phlegm and cough and days later, the bug bit me too and I have been feeling under the weather for 2 days already. Yesterday, I felt so unwell – I had stuffy nose, kept sneezing, my…
Ouch…..
This morning, I managed to go out for a half an hour jog, just me alone, without clingy Baby C tagging along. I woke up at 7am, hurriedly brushed my teeth, went to the kitchen to gulp down a glass of apple cider vinegar with psyllium husk, turned on the baby monitor in the kitchen and asked…
A Health Freak Nursing Mom’s Breakfast
Now that I am breastfeeding Baby C exclusively, I have to ensure that I eat wholesome food. No more eating packed roadside ‘economy fried noodles’ or cee cheong fun with loads of sweet sauce for breakfast, though I still eat them once in a blue moon. Instead, my breakfast consists of : 7:30am – 1…
Busy, Busy, Busy With My Babies
Pre-Natal Check-Up At Week 37
Anyone who sees Dr Jason Lim at SYMC (the superstar gynae at SYMC) would know how fast he sees his patients. That’s the reason why I only go to see him after week 32, for all three of my pregnancies. Yesterday afternoon I waited almost half an hour and I was the first patient to see him…..…
Wacky Pregnancy Hormones
I had 6.5 hours of sleep last night. When I sat in front of my computer after breakfast this morning, my eyes drooped and my mind was shut instantaneously. I took a 20-minute nap after breakfast. Now, it’s 2pm and as I’m typing this, I can barely open my eyes and my mind is about to go…
How Long Did You Refrain From Washing Your Hair During Confinement?
During my first confinement, I refrained from washing my hair for 2 days and I surrendered. I then washed my hair every other day. On the days that I did’t wash my hair, I felt terribly hot and uncomfortable. During my second confinement, I also refrained from washing my hair for 2 days and thereafter, I…
Simple Lunch
That was my lunch yesterday – croissant stuffed with sardines, mayo, tomato ketchup and lots of Japanese cucumbers. I don’t have appetite to eat heavy meals these days. Even sitting at the dining table feels uncomfortable as my bulging tummy will be pressed against the table. I can’t even reach out to the dishes on…
Confinement Stories
For those of you who had gone through a regimented confinement (where both your mum and mil will watch over you like a hawk almost 24 hours a day), you were not allowed to eat vegetables (well, can only eat certain vege like kailan) and fruits, right? Luckily my mil was quite liberal and did…
Happy All Fools’ Day
Happy Birthday Mummy
Daddy brought us for dinner at the Japanese restaurant at PJ Hilton last night as it was mummy’s birthday. After dinner, we came home to sing happy birthday to mummy, blew the candles and cut the cake. Though it was mummy’s birthday, we stole her thunder and we treated it like it was our birthday…. as usual. Daddy bought mummy a…
Still Dragging My Feet
After reading Chin Nee’s post on her early preparation for the arrival of her twins (she’s only 23 weeks preggers), I realized that I haven’t done anything yet and I am already 36 weeks preggers this week! So this week or next week, I have to pack my hospital bag, dig out Aly and Sher’s old…
