Baby Planning – Lists, Notes and Apps

May 4, 2014

Went for Baby L’s 28-week check-up couple of weeks back 🙂 Glad to hear that Baby L has been growing well. He has doubled in size since last month’s check-up and is at a healthy 1.3kg now. In Dr Tan’s words, he is “just the right size” 🙂 In fact, Baby L has been almost doubling in size since his 5-month scan, so Wayne and I were happily ...

A Weekend of Precious Moments

April 14, 2014

Wayne is away this weekend with his pals at BKK, enjoying a wet wet Songkran. In contrast to his happening weekend, I’ve purposefully planned a quiet weekend 🙂 While I know I’m gonna miss Wayne quite a bit, I was actually looking forward to spending the weekend ‘collecting moments’. Was on half day leave with Wayne on Friday afternoon to ...

Baby L – The 2nd Trimester

April 5, 2014

I’m enjoying the last couple of weeks in my 2nd trimester. The 2nd trimester is a lot more enjoyable than the first. The nausea subsided, less discomfort, the appetite is back (a little too well now), and although my energy level didn’t quite go back to what it used to be, I have been feeling a lot less lethargic. The 2nd trimester is ...

Laurent, Pregnancy, Travel

Babymoon in Taipei

March 31, 2014

I was initially half-hearted about going for a trip in my 2nd trimester because the work plan seemed pretty packed and I just can’t figure out a good period to be away. And to be honest, the idea of travelling was rather lacklustre during the first trimester, with all the discomfort, lethargy and relatively poor appetite. After much persuasion ...

Olympus Pen Lite E-PL6

March 23, 2014

While I was visiting my parents some weeks back, mum excitedly took out her camera to show me some photos she took during her trip to Sri Lanka in December. She then ‘conveniently’ told me that the camera has been a little faulty. That IXUS is already more than 6 years old (it was my 21st birthday gift from Wayne 🙂 ) so there’s really no ...

Baby Laurent

February 25, 2014

Finally had my 20-week detailed scan today! It’s quite an important milestone because this scan typically confirms the gender of the baby and also looks at the vital stats of the major organs and features of the baby to give mum and dad some assurance if the baby is doing ok and developing normally. I haven’t been able to feel (or recognise) ...

Quick & Easy Bathroom (Re) Organising

February 19, 2014

Warm shower after a long day can be such a luxury, especially one in a neat, nice and sweet smelling bathroom! Our bathroom definitely started out pretty neat, but over the year, we seemed to have collected quite a bit of products. I wonder why I only realised how messy it was like… last week. And it really irritated the heck out of me ...

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2014

Few nights ago when I climbed into bed after one of those midnight toilet trips, the husband suddenly asked in a sleepy voice, “what time is it?” “2 am, why?” And he suddenly turned to me and gave me a hug. “‘Cause it’s time for a 2am-hug…” I find gestures like these the sweetest when they appear randomly during ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Red Velvet Cupcakes

February 9, 2014

This is an extremely overdue post because I made these cupcakes for a Christmas gathering with my girlfriends, but I wasn’t in the best condition to blog at that time so it has been delayed till now. I thought it can serve as an inspiration for a valentine’s day bake if you need one – just change the sprinkles to those red, pink ...

Coming Together

February 4, 2014

I’ve been blogging on different blogs and platforms for quite awhile now. In between the occasional posts on my personal blog over at blogspot, I’ve set up a food blog over at http://poppykitchenblog.wordpress.com towards the end of last year. It was gaining quite a bit of followers and views, I was rather hesitant about starting this ...
