Little Random Details About Me

I'm so tired today, I've no motivation to do any workout. Since the last post 3 months ago, I've been trying to get back into the workout regime. I would either follow some youtube videos at home or go for a jog while mason is taking his nap. It has been going on pretty well. I feel good after a jog. At least I get to be alone and perspiring makes me feel like I've put down a little weight (both physically and mentally).  This week was off to a rocky start with Charlotte crying during her Chinese online lesson. This is not the first time she cries during lesson and it is starting to take a toll on me. I'm not sure how she really feels but it frustrates me whenever she cries. She seems to have a phobia in participating in group activities. Whenever it's her turn, she'll freak out and start to cry. It is usually for things that needs her to talk about herself, her feelings or very simple things like saying out a fruit. I'm not even talking about academic s

Even I find it unbelievable. We have stayed home for about 3 months now. This is about as long as the time I last blogged. With everyone staying home 24/7, I can barely get a breather. I practically cook and wash all day long. I've also picked up many culinary skills like baking. It was initially to entertain Charlotte but I'm starting to enjoy it. Of course I'm particularly happy if the outcome is good. During this period of time, Mason turned 1 year old. Instead of a cake smash photography session with a professional, we did everything ourselves. From making the cake to the photo taking. It wasn't too bad. At least it was at the comfort of our own home and I think everyone had fun. Also, Charlotte graduated from preschool from MACC. It was a pity she couldn't be in school for the past few months and couldn't experience a graduation in person. She had a graduation via zoom instead. We decided to head to her school for some photos and coincident

This virus issue seems to be getting out of hand and based on news we heard, it has not reached its peak yet. When we came back from Singapore on our last trip, Asia was all about the virus. People in Singapore were starting to be cautious, wearing a mask and so forth. But upon arriving back here, everything was as per normal. I don't see any airport staff wearing a mask. It seems like they are oblivious to it. All of a sudden, things just went crazy. I think they took things for granted and thought that it is a virus that will not hit them? Even Italy, such a small country, got hit so badly. Asia as compared, seems to be handling the situation so much better and things are not as bad there. Even though there are more cases in Singapore now, I think Singapore handled the situation well. At least people's lives are still going on much more normally as compared to here. The dates for staying home just keeps being pushed back. Reading the news everyday about how the virus is s

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

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

We are heading back for CNY in 1 week's time. This time only for 2 weeks. Honestly, I do not want to go back. The flight is a separate issue. What I really hate is CNY visitation on Der's side. I know he'll say it's tradition, it's once a year. so? I don't give a damn. No one will understand. Everyone just says "oh just say you don't want to go, say you need to leave by a certain time etc." Easier said than done. Anyway, I don't want to go on about this. I have already talked about it before and once I start, I can go on forever. I'll just suck it up and 2 weeks will fly by. The previous trip back to Singapore, I placed Charlotte in a preschool for 3 weeks. She had a good time and all the teachers adored her. There was no transitional issues which was great! As usual, she had a wonderful time playing with her bff Sienna. Got to celebrate her 4th birthday with her and even attended a week of Chinese camp together. Because

It is already 2020 and the last time I blogged was way back in September 2019. I was so occupied with the kiddos, travelling back to Singapore, time just flew by. We spent 1 month in Singapore and only got back to LA at the end of Nov. Jet lag took a terrible toll on Mason. He was screaming and crying every night for at least 1 entire week. Then Christmas came, followed by New Year. It all went by in a flash. To those who asked me how was Mason on the flight? The answer is terrible. He hates being confined in spaces. He cannot sit still, he did not sleep well. It was tiring for me too. I was carrying him all the time. The worst part, we are heading back for CNY again for 2 weeks. Totally not looking forward to it. Check out my tone arm. Charlotte on the other hand was an angel. She got to watch all the television and play all the games she wanted. She had a lot of juice and junk food. She was a happy girl. I really want to document more on what we did back in Sin and since we go
