One weekday morning, at the dining table.
Me: I’ve changed my mind, I don’t want a son anymore. Looking at the way you and your brother behave at home scares me.
Hubby: But I’m so good.
Me: So… what? I’m going to fall off my chair.
Hubby: I’m so good. You know why? Because if [...]
This is a post about PMS. And how it can totally ruin my marriage.
Before I had Kaylin, I’d never been one to suffer from PMS symptoms like mood swings and irritability. I’d just get bloated and crampy, which were wonderful excuses to eat all the chocolate and/or ice cream I wanted.
Recently, however, I [...]
Hubby imagines fatherhood hasn’t changed him much, and that’s true to a certain extent. He still works long hours, he still sleeps in as much as he can, he still takes the occasional trip without me (us) if it comes down to it.
But then a few weeks ago, we were having dinner with [...]
I used to get annoyed with hubby every time I asked him to watch Kaylin for a bit, because I would inevitably return from whatever I was doing to find her with my mother in law or Kakak, and him watching television or on the computer.
It irritated me not because I didn’t want other [...]
The husband has been away for the last six days, scuba diving in Bali with J, another friend and a group of others. Some people are surprised that I let him go, which in turn surprises me, because I would never forbid him from going (yes, I’m one of those “I want you to want [...]
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 [...]
Baby Kaylin at two weeks old and a photo of hubby I quietly took one morning with my mobile phone. She’s looking more and more like her daddy every day.
This being our first pregnancy, hubby and I were completely unsure what to expect in terms of the physical changes that I would be going through. But I’ve been really lucky. Y not only loves my bump and the fact that our baby is kicking away inside me (he thinks it’s really cute and I [...]
As promised, my videos of Five Strangers performing at Rama V, KL. Unfortunately the quality of these recordings, which were taken with my trusty super-old Sony Cybershot, leave much to be desired but I assure you the band sounded much better live. I hear this may have been their first and last gig together, [...]
Y and G with their band Five Strangers during their (first ever) gig at Thai restaurant Rama V on Tuesday night. Unfortunately this was the best photo I managed because I didn’t want to move from my seat and I didn’t want to use my flash (read: all the other photos had at [...]
