Best time of the day...

The terror finally surrenders and sleeps... oops she's stirring as I am typing away now.. she lets out a scream!!
*pause* (for 1 day)

It is the time of the day again where she finally surrenders and sleeps...I can finally take a breather when she sleeps. Otherwise I would have to constantly entertain her even if she's not making any noise. Charlotte likes to be carried and she needs to be walked around all the time. But her attention span has definitely improved as the weeks passed. She can be left by herself for a slightly longer time now.

Charlotte was in a pretty good mood yesterday when my cousins were here during lunch. She is happy whenever people keeps talking to her.
However, I still think she is very unpredictable. She can be smiling at you this second and screaming away till she turns purple in the next second. Everyone has been telling me that there must be a reason for her crying. She could have a wet diaper, she's cold, she's hot, and the list goes on. Duh... it's easier said than understanding. If I would have known the reason, I would not be torturing my own ears with her screams. She can be screaming away even after she is cleaned, fed and entertained. She can also stop screaming all of a sudden, fall asleep all of a sudden. Basically, she is unpredictable!

Check out her "Don't you dare provoke me!" look.
I am still afraid to bring her out myself and have yet to figure out how to use the SG50 sling to carry her out. Using the baby ergo carrier with the infant insert will be too hot for her in Singapore's weather and pushing a stroller out alone is too much of a hassle. Besides going out when Der is around, I have only been out with her on the weekends for morning runs with my parents (more like just a slow short jog).
Unlike me, Der is much better at handling her. I have no idea how he can even manage to take selfies all the time when he is alone with her. When I am alone with her, I get so exhausted trying to pacify or entertain her.
I think the terror is waking up.. She's stirring and stretching like crazy. One last pic and it is my fav pic so far as I can't help but laugh every time I see it. She has grown so much in just a few weeks!

Having the Chills

If you, Derrick is ever reading this, I would suggest you close this page. It's my right to type whatever I want. I won't mince my words because this is my space. I hardly feel unwell and this not the best time to fall sick. Yet I'm having the chills. Whenever my boob hurts, I will start to get the chills and a little temperature. It had to come at the time when i'm feeling totally not in the mood to do anything. I think I should swallow a few more pills. What I had isn't enough. Guess feeling down really brings down one's immune system. We just got news that we will be moving back to Singapore and the first thing that came to my mind is F*** I've to face her. That fake face (literally fake. No amount of make up helps la. old means old. draw what draw) who pretends she doesn't care or even when we talk face to face she says no no it's ok. PUI! Der will be unhappy reading this but i blame it on him for making the situation like this. No amount of ...

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Bigger Issue

Now a bigger issue has risen for us to worry about. Due to unfortunate circumstances, LA seems to be going through an apocalypse. Everyone is told to stay at home. Schools, libraries, malls, everything is closed. No more dine in restaurants, only take out and delivery. Only shops that are open are mainly grocery stores and there are either limited food choices or there are queues to get in so as to ensure "social distancing". This "social distancing" is the in word now. I am not very sure about this term. But the distancing sux. It's so quiet everywhere, I feel like a zombie would appear in front of me any moment.  I just got news that even playgrounds will be closed starting tomorrow. How scary is that? Even though it has been scary going to the playground these days because we always end up being the only family there, at least the kids get to run a round a bit.  It is tough staying home with 2 kids. I feel frustrated and a bit lost. I don't want Ch...
