Sunday Outing

As parents, we are trying to spend as much time with our little one as much as possible. Hubby usually come home pretty late during weekdays and have to work on Saturdays so, we planned to take Faith out for shopping as a family on Sundays.



Today, we brought her to City Mall at Farrer Park Station. Initially, we expected the mall to be filled with many Indians due to the location and it was Sunday! To our surprise, it wasn’t that crowed as we expected; in fact, it was pretty quiet for a new mall.

We went to NanXiang Steamed Bun Restaurant for lunch and we ordered their specialties and I would say the food were quite nice. I enjoyed their Golden Fried Rice, Xiao Long Bao and dou miao with garlic.





Faith behaved very well during our lunch and she was entertaining herself with the toy we gave her. She did not even cry when it was milk time … (we guessed she kinda of know we are out and she has to behave).






After lunch, we walked around the mall and I found the Gong Cha at the basement. The bubble tea was one of the best I tried so far… really YUMMY! It definitely completes the enjoyable day out with our little one.

Faith Turns 3 Months

Faith turns 12 weeks today and which means I have got 4 more weeks to enjoy my ‘holiday’ at home before I head back to office!

Time flies faster than a rocket man… I couldn’t believe that it’s already 3 months. When I looked back at the time when I was in the hospital waiting for her arrival, it seemed like it happened last night!

Growing with her was a beautiful thing and she is the only reason that I would want to stay home! Though I am still available to party la… hahahaahah





Happy 12 weeks baby Faith. Mummy, Daddy & Grandparents love you dearly…

Faith’s Virgin Shopping Outing

She was mostly at home or else follow mummy to the supermarket for a short marketing spree. Today, we finally decided to bring her out on a shopping trip just to let her get the ‘feel’ of it… after our weekly mass on a Sunday early morning, we came home and let her rest after her delicious MILK…

After her so-called ‘lunch’, I showered her and got her ready to go. Well, for a first time parents shopping with child, we thought United Square will be a perfect place as it would be less crowded but we were so wrong! It was very crowded even on Sunday… found out that there are schools there and many kids were sent there for weekend enrichment classes.



We took her to Jack’s Place for lunch and yes, she was very excited even sitting on her comfortable stroller. She couldn’t stop smiling though she was getting hungry. Feeding at the restaurant was my first time and it wasn’t that scary after all.





We took her for a walk around the mall and later did we notice that she had fallen soundly asleep. Though it was quite troublesome to bring the stroller around but somehow it was a cool experience and now that we join the club of parents in that mall… hahahahah…

There will be more family outings soon…

One Month Left


Today marks exactly one month to work! Sighz…. Yes, I am seriously feeling the drag to work even I know that I have 30 days more to enjoy my quality time with baby Faith.

It’s been a great three months of maternity leave where I got to enjoy every minute with her. I was there when she cried for milk in the wee hours of the night, playing with her after her milk and shower her every morning. It was indeed a great motherhood experience.

I noticed that she started making those noises (like as if she is talking to us) when she was about two months one week. She seemed to understand when she told her that we were busy and somehow she yawned herself to sleep… hahahahaahah

I believed I will be missing those private moments with her in the morning when I will wake up with her by my side. Those times when she smiles at you though she is already awake for milk while you are still pretending to be asleep and not crying. Those are some wonderful moments I treasured and can’t wait to be there…

Heading back to office is like ending a wonderful and enjoyable long holiday and going back to earth. To work with a HELL boss is a total disaster to start with and those long drag hours at office facing him and work is another nightmare! I have no freaking idea if I can tolerate his nonsense but I do know that nothing is more important than my little precious baby Faith.

Honestly, I am totally not looking forward to return to office though I missed my colleagues and friends very much. They were the ones who motivated me to work everyday and I will surely miss them dearly if one day I give up on that bastard and be a stay home mum.

Reality is, I have to return to office after serving my four months maternity leaves. No doubt about that and there is nothing much I can do unless I extend my leaves…. Sighz…

Till then…I will cherish my time at home…

‘Look, I Am Grabbing Stuff’

We received many beautiful gifts from friends during her full month and some of these gifts came in handy when she turns almost 3 months.

There were a few playmats we received and I chose the most colorful one for Faith to play with. When I first started to put her down on the mat, she was truly excited (guess due to the colors and music). She started to move her hands and legs trying to grab them but she wasn’t able to reach.

Today, I put her down again since she is already getting the hang of grabbing stuff around her when she turns 10 weeks old. I watched her as she started to move her hands and legs. At first, she was not that confident about grabbing the hanging toys on the playmat but I led her hands to it and she grabbed and smiled. (like as if she was telling me … ‘Look Mum, I grabbed it’!!) it was really cute.



Then she tried to kick the other toys right above her legs and she got it too and she looked at me and smiled! I was really excited to see her reacting to the toys and seeing her enjoying herself was a great joy. With that playmat, I was able to do my own stuff while she enjoyed herself by grabbing those toys… A great way to relax… kekekeke…

Youth Olympics Games


It was about a few weeks after the most exciting event of the year ended and I am seriously excited about the YOG which starts officially today. Though I wasn’t really interested in most of the games but it’s the first ever event held; and it’s in Singapore.

I would say that I am really proud that Singapore is hosting this YOG as I think it will somehow motivates the younger generation to do sports and not just playing PC games! The opening ceremony was pretty well done though I wasn’t there physically. However, it can’t match up to the Beijing Olympics ceremony! Oooppsss….

Though our county is tiny but we do have big dreams and I am glad that they have selected Sengkang Sports Hub as one of the venue. I am extremely happy and excited as it’s near my place and bet that my house value will go up… hahaahahah I do hope to watch a ‘Live’ Hockey game at SengKang Sports Hub…

Swimming, Track & Field, Gymnastics, Football are among my personal favourites. I do hope that we as a host nation will be able to get some medals or else it will be such a shame! Go Singapore!

Dallen Turns 1

I was really honored to be invited to Dallen’s birthday party held at Conrad Hotel. As I had to rush off to another baby’s party, I arrived early to send my greetings.

When I arrived at the Salon By The Pool, it was already pretty crowded and I saw the handsome Dallen with his dad welcome guest at the entrance. He was simply adorable and extremely handsome!! Aiyo… Von, I ‘CHOPE’ him hor… hahaahahah

Von whose 1st meeting with Faith was equally excited but unfortunately, Faith was sleeping and no chance to carry her… perhaps next time ah… we had a chat and was really glad that I dropped by for the party as it was beautifully decorated. The theme was blue and white; simply lovely.


Happy Birthday in advance darling Dallen! God bless you always.

Zoe Turns 1

Zoe, my cousin’s daughter turns 1 and we were invited to celebrate her birthday at their new nest at St. George. It was a birthday and house-warming party and it’s for family members tonight.




Their new nest was really gorgeous and the view was fantastic. Cousin told me that when they took over the house, it was really run-down and they had to redo the whole house. I love St. George area though it may not be that convenient but somehow it’s very quiet.

Faith was very well-liked by everyone and some of my cousin-in-law’s relatives even took turns to carry her. She was pretty well-behaved that evening and took some rest at Zoe’s baby cot. I was able to have my dinner freely that day as many were there to entertain little princess.




Finally, it was Zoe’s stage when she had her first cake cutting ceremony. It was really sweet and I guess very soon it will be Faith’s turn to do so… time really flies man…


It was a great party though we had to head home early for Faith might soon gets very cranky… she dozed off during the car ride home…





Happy Birthday Zoe darling!
