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!

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....
