When Kaylin was just 12 days old, I took this photo and declared her a chip off the old block. Now, four months on, it seems she hasn’t just inherited her daddy’s looks and expressions, she’s also got his adventurous spirit (hopefully) and his strong will (uh oh). Here’s my current favourite photo [...]
The other day, I was out in the garden with Kaylin after a downpour when I noticed how pretty the flowers looked with raindrops on them. That was when I realised how long it had been since I really looked at flowers. So I took a few photographs. Then we saw a snail, [...]
“I did not sew, bake, or clean house to anyone’s delight – and still do not. But I can write. That is my work, where I feel special. Where my identity has a voice.
I never made a living as a freelance writer. Writers seldom do. It wasn’t my income that kept me working … [...]
The trailer for The Green Hornet brings back fond memories of when I interviewed Jay Chou last year. Yep, I’m a fan. Can’t say too much about his acting and I have no idea how he’ll fare in this, his first Hollywood movie, but he’s a damn good singer-songwriter in my book.
I wish [...]
After four months of hopeful optimism (read: delusion), I have finally come to terms with the fact that the thrice-weekly gym sessions I endured enjoyed throughout my pregnancy are very much a thing of the past. These days, I’d be lucky to get any “me” time before 11pm and since I do not fancy [...]
Am I the only person who finds it odd that everyone was so upset over the glimpse-up-her-skirt photograph of Miley Cyrus but nobody seems to think this video is too provocative for a minor?
I’m not condoning paparazzi shots of celebs getting out of their cars – I think those are off-limits regardless of [...]
When I was pregnant, I told myself Kaylin would be my opportunity to discover the world through a baby’s eyes. I wanted to marvel at her every milestone and share in her excitement at every new discovery. Then she arrived, and for the first six weeks or so, nothing happened. She slept, she ate, she [...]
On the eve of our fifth wedding anniversary, hubby and I slept in separate rooms. No, it wasn’t because of a fight, although we did have a fight about the fact that we were sleeping in separate rooms, it was because hubby wouldn’t let me leave baby Kaylin to sleep in her room by herself. [...]
K’naan’s ‘Wavin’ Flag’ featuring will.i.am and David Guetta is the catchiest song I’ve heard in a while that isn’t also annoying. Plus, it sounds more exciting than most of the matches at this year’s World Cup have been. Sleep has been a little too precious for me to squander on the 2am matchups but [...]
