Posted on April 29, 2012 by admin

#206 Rockstar had a “Wor” habit for about a week recently, as in, “Can’t do that wor…” I grumbled about it a little and it disappeared as mysteriously as it first appeared… For the moment, anyway… But then… Rockstar: <chewing … Continue reading →

You’d WANT To Be Involved…..

Posted on April 27, 2012 by admin

Another one of those posts that’s long coming… The good thing about that is since I’ve talked to so many mummies after, mummies involved shouldn’t be easily identifiable even when my girlfriends read this :)… One of Rockstar’s sometime friends … Continue reading →

Rockstar’s Lego Habit

Posted on April 26, 2012 by admin

And it by far isn’t even the full list, it’s just the ones where I noted down the number and rough description so I could chuck all the instruction manual hard copies and search them online. It doesn’t include the … Continue reading →

The Elderly Couple And The Sugar Test

Posted on April 24, 2012 by admin

The Pathlab opens at 9am, and when I arrive at 9.15am, there are already 5 people ahead of me. My gynea has sent me for a “Sugar Test,” apparently “standard nowadays.” (I’m thinking obviously I’m going to be checked at … Continue reading →

Going Preggers Shopping

Posted on April 23, 2012 by admin

Haven’t done a shopping post in awhile. At 70+kg now and in my final trimester, I’m hoping to get by without splurging on too many pregnancy items, especially since I’m thinking this is probably the last time I’ll be using … Continue reading →

Kindness And Weakness

Posted on April 20, 2012 by admin

Posted on April 19, 2012 by admin

#204 Me: How was school, darling? Rockstar: We were learning about Hong Kong. (Classmate) asked who built Peak Tower… Then he yelled (his name)! (His name!) Everyone laughed, and he laughed loudest. But I didn’t laugh. I (happened to be) … Continue reading →
