The girl who lost her head

She is one-third of our figurines from Vietnam.

It was one of those days where the tot refused to play with her tot-toys and wanted something err..more grown-up. The minute it broke, Ash ran into the kitchen and held the "head" in one hand and the "body" in another, gesturing to me "mom, I think something happened to this doll but I don't know what. Here, take it and fix it".

When I asked her what happened, Ash merely went "ohhhh....." O_o...

Happy day

With the rain pouring down on us the past couple of days, it was a definite welcoming sight to witness sunshine today. It was absolutely beautiful this morning - the sun, the breeze, the clear blue sky. The weather was just perfect and what a time to have it since tomorrow is a public holiday for us. I am sure, there are plenty out there really taking in the holiday weather and not waste a minute of it.

I know I did.

I took my camera out for a spin since I've not touched it for a while now. Besides, with the weather being so co-operative today, I decided take some shots of Ash this morning. Erm..actually, hubby wanted to take snap-shots of my car since we have sold it and will be handing over to the prospective buyer pretty soon. Since we were outside, Ash was as usual, delighting at the thought of being outdoors, I took a few photos of her.

I cannot believe that this kiddo will turn 2 in less than 2 weeks. Time sure flies. Hubby and I both agreed that this has got to be our favourite age. Of course, friends would tell us otherwise (read : terrible 2). But we're having fun with her as she is right now.

After that, we went over to my mom's place and had this for lunch : yummy home-made prawn mee. Believe me when I tell you that once you've tasted it, you'll never look at another quite the same way and possibly in need of some weight loss products (you'll definitely be helping yourself with seconds).


Perhaps someday, I'd be able to cook this the way my mom does...s o m e d a y..:-D

My comfy spot

When I am done for the day and provided Ash is asleep early (she's been rather persistent these days in staying up with us), I'll snuggle up at my favourite spot in the living room (without any sexy lingerie - just my old big T..LOL). I usually do that with a hot cup of milo (no coffee for me at night) in one hand and a magazine or a book in the other.

I'm telling you and I know how this will make me sound completely evil but I absolutely look forward to this time of the day most. Nothing like enjoying that solitary moment...even if for an hour or two. It lifts your spirit and without a doubt, gets you going for another day - for me at least.

With that in mind, I hope that you will also, get to enjoy with your family at your chosen comfy spot(s) this weekend.

Bonus shot : Goofy me

This was a couple of days ago..we had just finished dinner, Ash was in bed and I plonked my heavy bottom on the couch in the study when hubby took this.

See..now, this is what happens when you weigh a ton, have a clingy toddler (Ash has been my super-glue these past few days), been cooking lunch and dinner everyday (ok, I cheat : it's only from Mondays to Thursdays cos from Fridays, we either eat out or at our parents' place).

So far, thank goodness, I've had a pretty smooth pregnancy. Well, apart from the first 3 months. Other than that, it's been good. But, irregardless, I always dread this part of the pregnancy. This part being the last trimester. I get all heavy, my legs will begin to swell (it's showing signs) and all I feel to do is lie down and not move a muscle. Not even free New York Yankees tickets will induce a butt-moving incident.

I dread the months ahead. I really do. I can't imagine what a relief it'll be when I'm no longer this clumsy-belly-protruding lady. Then again, when that happens, there will be something else for me to think about O_o.
