I went for my 30th week detailed scan at the fetal specialist’s office yesterday. As usual, baby is really shy and keeps covering her mouth with her hands. My Ob&G kept shaking my tummy with the probe to make her budge her hand. Finally after about 15 minutes, she moved her hand away briefly and…
Today, one of my readers commented in one of my posts and raised a very interesting point, which got me thinking hard. She said that my kids should be able to take their baths themselves by now. Personally, I feel that Alycia (4 years old) and Sherilyn (1 week shy of her 3rd birthday) are still too young to…
It’s the 3rd week she’s with us now and I have been telling myself to be patient, patient and more patient with her but I’ve had it. I’m exhausting myself and risking my pregnancy just because of her incompetence and ‘blurness’. I can still accept the bizarre things that she does but I just can’t stand…
On Chor Yat (1st day of CNY), we had buffet dinner at Lemon Grass Coffee House @ Shangri-La Hotel. During major festivals, Shang card members are not entitled to the 50% discount for 2 diners. Instead, they are only granted a 10% discount. Despite getting only a 10% discount, the dinner was still very much…
The Chinese really love to display their jewelry during festivals like Chinese New Year and during weddings. During such occasions, I would see my relatives – young and old, regardless of gender wearing sparkling gold jewelry from head to toe. ‘Decorating’ one’s body with gold jewelry is like a symbol of status – the more…
My friend’s Ob&G once told her that expressing milk with a breast pump may cause some women’s breast to shrink in size. I did not believe it until I experienced it myself. With Alycia, I had breastfed her directly from my breast for 2 months. After I weaned her off breast milk, my breasts were still full and firm….
If only hubby could get some unsecured business loans, he can then expand his catering business or perhaps set up his own café or restaurant. Sadly, most financial institutions here need some form of collateral for business loans, unlike AfsLoansOnline.com who do not require any collateral and the business loans can be approved within 24…
‘Loh Sung’ or ‘Yee Sung’ – a must-have dish during Chinese New Year. We had this measly plate of loh sung with ‘hoi jit’ (jelly fish) at Toh Yuen Chinese Restaurant @ PJ Hilton last night and it was freaking expensive. Though expensive, we still ordered the smallest plate as it is considered something very ‘lai si’ or…
I hate to write about the things my new temp Cambodian maid does and about how incompetent she is but this one, I really must write about it. It is something so lackadaisical and silly that I just can’t believe it. This morning Alycia got up and as usual went to the toilet downstairs to do her daily poopie…
