Happy Mother's Day to me



I get this question a lot nowadays, "How does it feel to be a mom?"


Well its hard to imagine that this little person could cause me so much anxiety, great loss of sleep, I'd even had to skip makeup sometimes in order to dress her up (imagine that!).

The Stork Finally Arrived

After weeks of impatience and a ton of pain, my little girl finally came out to brace the world. There wasn't a lot of emotion or tears on my part, because i already love her wholeheartedly for nine months, i'm just glad to be able to hold her in my arms instead of "smuggling a basketball" as some people puts it.

Confinement - is the worst. My advice would be marry a non-(traditional) chinese, and marry as far as possible from your traditional chinese family. but that, would only relieve certain parts of the discomfort, as there are still plenty of issues to deal with.

I had to put up with stomach cramps, heavy bleeding, painful urination, sore spot down there due to episiotomy, bleeding from breastfeeding, breast engorgement, backache etc. on top of that, everything i eat has to be cooked with ginger, wine and eaten hot, so after each meal i'm sweating like a tap. my hair stinks and i begged my mom everyday for a proper shower (with soap and shampoo!).

Less than a week after being discharged, i started crying along with my baby. my husband had to carry hazel in one arm, and the other arm hugging me. i guess he can't decide which woman to placate first.

The best part of confinement is, i can spend hours just staring at my baby. her expression varies all the time, and she turns more beautiful each day. but when she starts wailing...oh yes, motherhood is definitely the ultimate challenge.



One more week to go before the longest month comes to an end. I'm already dreaming of a cold shower followed by ice-blended Java Frappe...

Do Not Forget...

Sometimes its too easy to forget the pleasures we derive from simple things. Waking up next to you and being hugged like i'm the most the precious thing in the world, nothing gets better than that.

I hope i won't ever take that for granted.

M for Maladies

We were just skimming on the topic of marriage during a phone conversation when my heart decided to intervene. I clutched my chest and managed to croak "Wait...my heart is beating like crazy!"

After a few long seconds of palpitations usually reserved for accidental occasions where i OD-ed on caffeine, it finally returned to normalcy.

"Phew...I'm okay now."

"Was the attack triggered by that word?", bf asked innocently.

"Uhm, of course not!" Whatever made him jumped to that sort of far-fetched assumption?

On a hindsight, i've only had my usual one cup of coffee today.

Lately he makes me weaker in the knees

I just might have to confess where I stand
Coz lately you make me weaker in the knees
And you race through my veins baby, every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you got a hold on me, yeah, and I won't disagree

-Kate Voegele "I Won't Disagree"-

Oh yeah, lately i've been rendered into a pile of love sick mess.

Palate Palette...Pellet?

My sister has been nagging me forever to go to this chic restaurant that is a mouthful to pronounce. To celebrate our reunion with Min and Chris, I jumped at the chance to bring the gang there.



Spotted on the wall, i'm in love with this place already...sigh...


Don't ask me why is everyone in black. I'm beginning to think its our Friday night uniform.


In true spirit of our girls-get-together, we spent almost an hour unabashedly camwhoring in the unisex washroom.


Just realized that we took the pictures even before CNY. My blog is officially lagging by a month.

Cupcakes of Love



A little reminder from Charzy that i'm still loved.

I don't know why it took some time to register that you were actually referring to me, but yes, we are definitely neighbours and best friends for life.

I'm on the other side and I can tell you it's no fun

That's it. I can't stand it anymore. I'll have to shoot the next (non-single) person who tells me that being a single girl about town is "so much fun".

Who do you rely on to carry your heavy shopping? Who do you call when you are hopelessly lost on the road? Who do you "pretty please" when some menial task needs to be done? Who do you hug and never want to let go when everything goes wrong?

I have not been completely open to a lot of people, primarily because the reasons behind the break-up is very personal to me. To explain them is akin to dissecting my heart, i.e extremely painful.

When a colleague unknowingly brought up the topic during new year's eve, "How will you be celebrating with your bf?", from my devastated and awkward expression, he actually jumped to the conclusion that i was dumped. Which suits me great, because in this case people usually feel too sorry for you and will not further embarass you with more questions. So i sort of allowed him to think he was right, that's not the same as lying isn't it?

And so the word spread. Imagine my surprise a few days later when another colleague came up and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed about being dumped. Actually now i find you very sexy and vulnerable."

Oh-kay, what have i done???

The best part is, instead of being demoted to social pariah like i originally anticipated, i actually received offers to be my rebound boyfriend. No wonder guys like to play the pitiful puppy card when trying to score girls.

In all ernesty, the hardest part of being single is learning to love thyself. I looked back and realized that i have not been single for more than 3 months since i turned sixteen. This is a great chance for me to take the plunge and do whatever i want to do, be whoever i want to be without anyone holding me back.

Ah, great speech.

The real reason behind this post is because its 5AM and i couldn't sleep. The catalyst for my insomaniacal side is that i want/need/have to know who is the girl who could replaced me so easily. how could he moved on so fast when i'm still struggling to forget?

shitshitshitshitshit

I can be such a hypocritical bitch at times.
