okie, colleague is going europe and it's super tempting me.
i am definitely getting this for my 2012 one-bag-a-year collection :)

slowly and patiently

friday, the girl came home really happy so she was being a monkey the entire night :)

it is saturday and the weather is gloomy. it's like a scene of autumn :) but I like the weather and all its gloominess, it's comforting, quite relaxing. fed the girl cedele wholemeal organic toast with bulla cottage cheese for breakfast, and ended it with some gerber strawberry apple puffs. yes, she doesn't like it, she loves it :D

i think i've been doing a good job at keeping myself busy(and the girl). i've been reading, alot. yea, alot but i'm still stuck on the same book - super baby food by ruth yaron. i followed the food she introduced at different stages to the girl. at her eighth month, i can start giving her more variety of vegetables and fruits. excited much! we had been teaching the girl to feed herself with finger food, with a spoon and drinking from a mug. slowly and patiently i am sure, this impatient girl of ours will get it :)

life is gonna be good

i've been having alot of good days. and i'm looking forward to greater days. bonding plans to look forward to and places to go with my loved ones. i think that the girl is really fun to photograph. she's as cheeky infront as she is behind the camera. photos of her always turn out really nice, okay most of them, and i always feel really happy after these natural photo sessions.

today was an interesting day. the man and i bought a bubble gun for the girl. it's so bubbily it's cool. not that cheap though but it's bought from a roadside man in tanjong pagar, i considered that a good deed done :) and really good for her bath time entertainment :))

sharing memories

it's the start of my wda diploma course which also means, i get 3 days' break off work this week. bliss.

concrete plans of this year travelling hasn't been set yet but we're keen on bintan. the place to bring the girl out for her first holiday trip because it's also the place the man and i first went as a dating couple in 2007 :)

farewell M

yesterday, i received news that a colleague M whom i know since 2010 will be leaving the company involunteerily. he was an amazing guy, someone you can count on definitely and someone who can replace your free time with plenty of funny bullshit, ha! i'll never forget how he'll try to brag about his learnings and experiences. he was like this spoilt radio who really kept us irritated but yet very entertained in office.

yes, i'm sad and i miss ah-ma-lia.

its a cheap cheap monday

every morning we woke up for work and we saw the good morning smiles on the girl's sleepy face. her cheeky cheerful big smile, standing up on the cot reaching out for us. i thought it was damn sweet and it's times like these which really touched me, making me glad i chose this path because of the satisfaction i get :))

it's a monday and we got no work! just got back from my gynaecologist doctor adrian and ikea for some office-shopping but ended up getting a nine dollar toy for the girl. toys in singapore are expensive so i don't see a need to splurge on toys or whatnots when i can get cheap steals and they all serve the same purpose. i prefer buying a good educational toy than just one expensive pathetic piece and not forgetting i love toys that are old fashioned. yes, i love cheap thrills so when i shop, it doesn't ALWAYS have to be of brands. really glad that the girl enjoyed herself there; she lurrrrved the ikea-free gerber mixed vegetable jar. to update, the girl is really naughty these days. in fact is very very naughty! :) she is just like a fickled princess who can't make decisions so she ended up crawling all over the house, using everything and everybody as a support to stand, licking on every single item she sees and that includes the electrical wired cable and floor mat! it's times like these that make us pretty crazy :)

on a side note, my hair feels a lot lighter now and i can't even tie up fully without having the bottom part of my hair fall all over the place. i won't say i particularly like/hate it. i guess i'm okay cos hair will eventually grow right? :) and with the cost at ten dollars plus my hair grows pretty quickly too so i'm not complaining.

gahhh, i miss the girl and i can't wait to see her tomorrow morning!

we love homecook

just cooked a new batch of brown rice, millet, rolled oats super baby porridge cereal - one of the girl's very important diet. ahhhh, satisfied :)))
