Life of a SAHM

Today, two of my (sg) friends commented that they are so envious I dont have to work & living a relaxing tai tai lifestyle.

I WISH.

You know, its not an easy route. Even more so now. Every morning when I wake up, I thank God I am well because there are so much to do & my kids need me, I cant afford to be"feeling under the weather".

Despite the tiring mundane routine of looking after my kids & the endless housework to do, I am very happy to be able see the little & big things they learn everyday... I am enjoying all the love & attention from them.

SAHM is a blessing!

Dont you think so, kids?



Ha! Ha! Ha!

Little artist

I am very amazed with Kayla's imagination & her passion for drawing

... SPIDERS !!

No one taught her. Definately not me! I hate reptiles and creepy insects !!!



She also drew (in her own words) a fried egg and a alligator float !!!

CNY + Australia Day

This year 大年初一 coincides with Australia Day so lucky for daddy he didnt have to work. Unlike Singapore, there are no holidays for CNY !

We celebrated CNY the Australian way, at Bicentennial park. Thank God the weather was not burning hot (but poor me still got burnt!). It was a full day event from 12- 10pm. When we reached the park at 1pm, it was already packed with picnic-kers and children.

"Why on my hand?!?!"

The kids loved the "petting zoo" (they fed, pet and tortured the goats! haha!!) and the free pony rides.

Treated ourselves to some "heavenly" ice-creams. The grass was so clean & dry, we could sit anywhere.

The kids enjoyed running up and down the grassy slope. chasing the birds.

And lastly.. thank you gong gong & popo for the special ang pows !!

Our reunion dinner

We had our family reunion dinner at one of the restaurants we love to patronize- Sylvia's vietnamese restaurant.

Kieran's kungfu outfit was "recycled" from the last Chinese New Year. It fitted him perfectly. I loved it but he didnt! He threw a tantrum just as we were leaving the house :P

Colouring is fun

Milestone: Colour within the lines

After weeks of practising her strokes, Kayla has better grip control. She is able to draw straight lines & colour nicely within the lines :)




Well done !!

Little diary is 1

Exactly one year ago, I started a blog to document my children's precious moments & have also inspired some of my friends/cousin to do so. Its a great way to keep in touch !

I'd wish I have documented my pregnancies, birth stories and my breastfeeding journey!

Oh well..

Same fate !

Aiyo, jie jie has the same fate as Kieran !!!

Hate summer and I hate the mozzies that keep attacking my children. Of all places, their eyelids!! Thank God for fly/mozzie (window) screens in my new house !

Playgroup @ Rachel's

Aunty Rachel invited us to her place for breakfast. Aunty Valerie & little Zac were there too. Its a pity we cant organise such gatherings on a weekly basis due to different schedules.





Little Eleanor & Zac.

Xin Nian Kuai Le

Its really depressing to be away from home during CNY. No holidays, no celebration, no yummy cookies & bak kua !!!

Coincidentally, 26th January is Australia day (National day). There will be a big celebration at Bicentennial park (free children's rides, face painting, live music, pony rides & outdoor movie!). So we will be celebrating Xin Nian Kuai Le the Australian way! Ha Ha!!

Anyway, this was what we received from gong2 & popo ! Xie Xie !!!

My frowning princess

Recently, Kayla frowns to show she is upset/angry.

This morning, she accidentally spilt her cup of milk and I scolded her for being so careless. It was a big mess. I had to clean the table, floor and the legs of the chairs. I was so preoccupied with the cleaning, I din respond to her apologies.

And she FROWNED for a long time !!

It was such a amusing sight that I had to swallow my anger & take a photo of her expression. Ha ha ha!!!
