I am really touched and overwhelmed by the children’s act of love on my birthday last Thursday. They pooled all the money they had and gave it to me as a birthday present with a little note that read, “For the Blentec* (sic) or whatever you want.” And then there was the home made card with […] Read more…

What’s in your bag?
Now that we are back to just one child in diapers, the bag I lug around has shrunk tremendously. In fact, everytime we get down to just one child in diapers, I celebrate by buying a normal bag 🙂 And no, it sure isn’t an IT bag! 😛 Just before I had #7, I bought […] Read more…
Old Habits Die Hard!
Since the beginning of the year, I have been trying to get the family on a eat-more-vegetables-and-fruit mission. But I must say it has been awfully hard! And each time I try and fail I realise to my dismay that it is a matter of old habits refusing to die! 🙁 Those of you who […] Read more…

The 3 yr old was of course tearing round the playground, having just been released from playschool. The maid was playing with […] Read more…

What Have I Learnt in the Past 12 Years?
I meant to publish this last month! But one thing led to another and then I got caught up decluttering the house so this has been waay delayed! Our oldest child turned 12 last month. Yes, we have a child on the brink of manhood here 🙂 As I look at him and remember his early […] Read more…
She’s 1!
The day after we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, our littlest blessing turned 1. That’s right, last year at our 14th wedding anniversary dinner at Peach Garden, Thomson Plaza, I was eating and having contractions that would bring forth a big little baby (4.3kg!) the next day 🙂 This child has turned our lives upside […] Read more…
15 Years!
This is a very late post but life has been hectic around here 🙂 Two and a half weeks ago, dh and I celebrated our 15th anniversary. But I never got around posting or mentioning it as that was the week we were all hit with a bad cold virus 🙁 All 9 of us […] Read more…

R : I know what I want for my birthday! Me : You do? What? R : Blu-Tac! Yes we have another low maintenance child 🙂 Today our 5th child turns 5. She has been waiting and waiting for this day patiently. And diligently crossing out the calendar. She had her day finally planned out […] Read more…
