Welcome Baby Charlotte

Baby Charlotte Leow Yu Ting arrived on 24th October at 10.29am in the morning and she weighs 3.176kg.


Everyone has been asking me, how was it giving birth? Before I forget like all other mothers (all mothers told me that I will forget about it eventually and have another kid), I think childbirth is scary. It is painful and couldn't take the pain thus I chose epidural in the end. I take my hat off all mothers who did it without. I do feel weak that I cannot take the pain but I really cannot imagine going through without it. The thought of going through childbirth again scares me at least at this current moment. Maybe I too will eventually forget about it. But before the time comes... let me just scare those who are going to go through it in future hahaha.

I call Charlotte the terror in my life now. It gets traumatic when the child is brought home. She seemed like an angel in the hospital. Hardly crying much. See how sweetly she sleeps.
She even sucks her own thumb when she is awake in the middle of the night. How cute!

But hell breaks loose when she is home. She doesn't cry.. She screams. Screams till she turns purple. She is super impatient and have to drink milk the moment she feels hungry. I feel like I am perpetually feeding and feeding her. If she is awake, she expects to be carried. My parents had to take turn to carry her to walk around the house just to soothe her. She is still unpredictable and has a different pattern everyday. Cross my fingers while saying this.. at least for the past 4 nights, she only woke up 2 times to feed, with the 3rd being almost morning. At least everyone has a little more sleep now at night.

The only angelic time.. when she is sleeping! What a deceiving pic.
Call me a grouchy mummy haha

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...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

 10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021.  The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too.  Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake.  2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3....
