Doing at least one lunch run a week now. Weather is scorching hot nowadays, so can’t run too far. This was me trying to catch up with another colleague along the really steep Vigilante Drive. Baked lactation cookies for myself in March. Kate took two bites, then had an allergic reaction about 30 min later […]
Did a few runs along the rail corridor on the Bukit Timah stretch this month. We had a homely steamboat lunch on one of the Feb weekends, cos it doesn’t feel like CNY if we don’t wat steamboat! I’ve been trying out fish soup with ee mian at various hawker centres during lunch. Liking a […]
My first lunch run of the year was at Kent Ridge Park! And then doing quite a few of my lunch runs now at the rail corridor stretch at Bukit Panjang. Kate likes pressing the lift button on the way home. I do allow her to press, since she’ll have to wash her hands after […]
Had a date with a galfriend for a 21km run. That’s my longest run this year. Hope to do more long runs next year when Kate is away at school. Boys had fun at my office Christmas celebration this year. We came home with plushies from a claw machine. Only learnt recently that the rabbit […]
K is done with his O levels exams! Snapped random shots of his messy workspace in the final days of his revision. After the exams, his workspace remains messy as he’s busy gaming and coding. He played pool for the first time. He tried a part time job for the first time. And he also […]
K is done with some of his O level exams. I do like to read through the exam questions. I thought that one of the English passages was really hard – about rehousing two giraffes in post war America. T enjoyed the Pony Fest this year. It was a day after his exams ended, so […]
On the last PE lesson of his secondary school life, K sprained his ankle and wrist while playing volleyball. Argh…. We received a lovely set of mooncakes from KL’s insurance agent this year. Slightly surprised by how much T enjoyed the red bean filled mooncake. K is a big corn lover. He likes to eat […]
The baby, her milk bottle and cereal jar joined us for a weekday afternoon lunch. Had a farewell lunch for a colleague who’s going away for a year. Eating lots of local food that she’ll miss! The July afternoons have been scorching hot. Capped my lunch runs at 3km. K visited NUH this month to […]
This month, we started seeing parts of Dover Forest being cleared for housing development. Sad. The sunset is still lovely as ever, pic courtesy of K. On Father’s Day, KL cooked for all of us! He made pasta and chicken! Boys enjoy eating food that he cooks, though I usually find it too spicy and […]
T and me have a night routine. Since the beginning of this year, we were aiming to be able to do a pull up so we’ll hang from the pull up bar to practice. T challenged himself to be able to do a full pull up before Kate starts to roll. Congrats, he really achieved […]
This morning, I baked a chocolate cake for the first time ever! Decided to switch from bread to cake because there was cocoa powder at home. Covid visited KL, T, me and Kate in April. Luckily symptoms were all mild and we recovered in no time. K was spared even though all of us were […]
We changed Kate’s car seat. T crawled into the big cardboard box that the new car seat came in. And he stayed there for a while. Lol! Cleared the ice cream tubs out of our freezer to create some space for storing Kate’s stash of frozen milk. Changing our ice cream to boxed ones so […]
Took a pic of the view that I stare at in the middle of the night when I have to feed, burp, and carry Kate to make her fall asleep. Though this was worth remembering, cos she won’t stay so little forever, and she won’t need night feeds forever. 婆婆 cooks fancier meals on some […]
Sister in law gifted us a really pretty box of apples for Chinese New Year. It’s only been two weeks since I gave birth, so definitely can’t start running yet. But no problems with walking. So I am incorporating plenty of walks and stair climbing into my daily routine whenever I can help it. Great […]
Made K and T fill up some random Q&A for an office game I was organizing (their answers served as decoys). The colleague who drew K’s she et was baffled that someone would want to spend his/her last day with friends instead of family. More family gatherings this month, simply because it’s the end of […]
Really like this family pic of our dinner in KL with 6th uncle and aunt! Dinner was yumz and company was great! Eating healthily. More greens and tofu in my diet nowadays. Loving pomegranate again 🙂 T gets assigned holiday work by KL when he doesn’t go out on weekdays. He still likes fiddling with […]
T joined me and my friends for lunch at Vivo. He picked up a yoghurt ice cream after lunch, and was mighty pleased with it! Snap of an evening game of 21 points with monopoly money. Not sure who won! K reminded me it was 10:10pm on 10 Oct 22. So I had to take […]
Downloaded the Duolingo app when I was so bored at home during the Covid circuit breaker. Two years on, I continue to use the app and I learn different languages at different paces – depending on the mood of the day. Languages on my app now are Korean, Indonesian, Japanese. Languages that I tried, didn’t […]
T with the strawberry yoghurt bites (actually it’s chocolate inside) that I got him from Sydney. T and me out for a short run with our matchy slippers. Met K and KL somewhere along our route. Rare weekend where we managed to get K to get on a bicycle to exercise with us. KL went […]
On a 6 week course, so changed my routine this month. Been going to Jurong Lake Gardens for my morning runs. It’s such a nice place! My pink decathlon are serving me well on my morning runs! Did slopes in NUS too. I like getting breakfast at the Science Canteen after my runs. The wanton […]
Was crazy busy at work after my Viet trip and totally appreciated the homely dinners that my mum cooked for me and the boys. We ate instant noodles for supper on a random June evening. Ottogi is my current fav brand for instant noodles! Got a pair of new running shoes cos the existing ones […]
Lovely view on my morning run to work. May was a good month in terms of running. My Vo2 has not reached pre-Covid levels yet, but it continues to improve. There were a few long weekends so I did 2 x 21km runs. Happy with myself! T is the last one in the family to […]
K and me had a “staycation at home” on one April night. Happened that we couldn’t join KL and T that night for real staycation outside. So we made do by buying snacks for ourselves, staying up late to play games (for him) and watch dramas (for me). Slowly easing out of the Covid slump […]
Received a pretty box of cakes from someone at work who was promoted this year. Super pretty, had to snap a pic! Switched to drinking juice instead of eating fruits in the morning. Juicing is quite fun. I’ll prep the night before and slurp it up in the morning as I am getting breakfast ready […]
Posing with the message from his fortune cookie. It says “What you desire is always possible. It will come to you”. Super tempted to add “if you work hard”, but nah shan’t change the message. Used up so many ART kits this month cos T and K came down with Covid too. Interestingly, we didn’t […]
We have enthusiastic neighbours in our block who will go to great lengths to decorate their lift lobbies. Always a delight when I stop at their floor cos I get to admire their nice work. Their tigers were featured in the papers this year. Saw lovely tomatoes at a small nameless provision shop nearby. Bought […]
Took a random shot of T’s laptop screen. I don’t even know what is akhshan gaming. T’s favourite x-mas present this year is definitely the “Hawker Wars” card game. Our friends and family knows he likes to eat, so he actually received two food-themed games this year, lol! T’s final cooking class was in mid […]
T was issued a Health Risk Warning Order (HRWO) in Nov, and he did plenty of ARTs so that he could continue to go on with his life (i.e. attend school) as per normal. Had a nosebleed after one of the tests. T received his PSLE results last week, he was happy enough with his […]
Saw T and K playing games with each other. And chatting on the game app when they’re actually in the same house! I wanted to draw a bubble tea on T’s tracetogether token, but he didn’t allow me too. “Tattooed” his hand instead. It looked like autumn one morning on our way to school. Actually […]
We discovered a new Korean restaurant in the West. KL and T gave raving reviews of the fried chicken! I took lots of random shots of T this month. Just cos it’s his birthday month. I got myself a new pair of pink running shoes. Super like the colour! Lots of books on our dining […]
