Baby Pram and Other Big Baby Items
I write this blog for the benefit of a visitor who asked a question about our pram. :) I only realised that raising a child these days can be so costly when we looked into the various items required for

Activity Time
So far, I have blogged about Hannah’s feeding and sleeping. That leaves us with activity time. Like many Singaporean parents, the kiasuism spirit got me into starting her early with reading and listening to music. My best friend, Doreen, helped
Slumber
My sleep pattern is largely determined by Hannah since the day she arrived. In the first month, I was extremely sleep-deprived. Hannah required breast-feeding round the clock, every 2-3 hours, every feed lasting an hour. Take away meal times and
B is for ?
Burp. Burping Hannah has been a major occupation since we introduced the bottle. (Whenever she is breastfed, she requires little or no burping at all.) I started off with Avent bottles, believing that these are the better ones (they claimed
Baby's Sign Language
An ex-colleague visited us lately and shared with me that Hannah could be taught sign language before she could articulate her needs. Sounds like fun and interesting to me. Here’s a video to show just that :) httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gSZfW4gVhI
Hannah's Morning Routine

From Confinement Blues to Breast-feeding Woes

After deciding that Friday (5th Jun) was the last day to report to school for work (it was school’s holidays already), Hannah decided to ‘pop’ the very next morning. What a transition from all the kicking sensation in my tummy
Belly Dancing
Here’s a little home-video for keepsake. Hannah has been so active towards the end of the last trimester. I derive quite a bit of entertainment and amusement just by watching the movement (i.e. her stretching, poking, punching and spinning) she created on my belly. The
Nesting Instincts
Some say that pregnant ladies will exhibit nesting instincts when the due date draws near. I started on tidying Hannah’s room about 2 weeks ago. Thoughts of decorating the room also flooded my mind. Just recently too, I finished a
Jia Xiang Mee
‘Jia xiang’ (Mandarin) is the equivalent of hometown, and ‘mee’ (Hokkian) means noodle. There you have it, a noodles’ dish from the hometown of Sarawak (Malaysia). Yang and I went down to Compass Point for dinner on Tuesday evening. There
Lentor's Kitchen – Claypot Rice
Claypot rice is one of Yang’s favourite dishes and we had one recently for dinner at his parents’ place (fondly called Lentor home). Traditionally, a claypot is used to cook this dish but Yang’s mom invented her own style to
