Taking it easy

I have somewhat lost some motivation to blog the past few weeks as evident in my short list of Nov posts. It's not that the boys aren't doing anything interesting or funny to note, just that I have been busy. Besides having found something new and perhaps more interesting that takes up some of my time, I have also been busy reading up and getting in touch with my contacts to have a feel of what's available on the job market and gauge my current 'market value'. So whenever I have any more time, I feel guilty blogging, so instead I spend it with my boys.

I am pleased to be taking things a little easier recently, or at least I am trying... Besides my twice or even thrice weekly yoga, weekly salsa, and gym workout twice a week, I have been enjoying my random catching up with friends and hopefully a weekly date with E. Still trying to find time for more hobbies that I want to pick up! Gotta take more pictures of everything that is going on in my life though...

And our countdown to our Bali trip.... watch this space!

Christmas Pageant





Yesterday, Marcus took part in his first Christmas Pageant organised by his school and we, as proud parents sat excitedly in the audience with hundreds of others, waving anxiously and holding up our camera and camcorder in anticipation of the big moment when our handsome little boy strolled up the stage. For about 3 weeks prior to the performance, our little boy learnt so many Christmas carols in school and would come home humming a new song every few days. He simply loves to sing and I simply enjoy listening to him.

On the actual day, we were beaming with pride as we watched him jog up the short flight of stairs with his schoolmates and how he couldn't wait to start his little performance when his segment was obviously not due yet. It was lots of fun for us to watch Marcus sing his carols and do all the cute movements. It was after all, our first born's first performance and it was such a milestone for me and a reminder of how much he has grown since the day I held him for the first time in the delivery ward with a tear down my cheek. How much I love him!

Night out




Met some fellow mummies for an evening of Jap cuisine at Sun with Moon at Clarke Quay and it was simple fun. Everyone seemed so polite and demure, perhaps due to the infrequency we meet up. It reminded me once again how time flies and how our lives have changed since I first got to know some of them like Angie and Mel. Three of us are now mums of 2 kids and the other two are FTWM.

Saying

A close girlfriend said to me recently "the toughest steel goes through the hottest fire and the strongest souls go through the deepest soul searching". Hmm.. I like that!

First Steps

Baby N finally took his first steps on his own!

He walked 3 steps unassisted last night while I was out and E and helper were around to witness. I felt a little sad (only for a really brief moment) that I missed it but I am realistic enough to realise that it is inevitable. Anyway, the exciting thing is he has begun his first steps and very soon, will be walking on his own and exploring his world without much assistance. Aww... today, he just kept trying on helper's encouragement and I must admit that I feel rather relieved to see how much encouragement and love she has for him. I like to think that she really feels something for this little baby and it is comforting to know that, especially now that I am making plans to return to work in a few months.

While I watched N take his baby steps with a big smile this afternoon and collapsing into helper's arms with a giggle and she laughed excitedly and cheerily as she cuddled him, I felt a tinge of sadness. For N, I am not his sole caregiver, unlike in the case of M. But yet, I feel the necessity to gradually let go now, so that he will get used to being in the care of the helper while I am at work. Luckily for now, he still prefers me over anyone else, despite my spending so much lesser time with him on a daily basis as an effort to train up the helper.

Aww.. the fact that he is almost walking is like a big reminder that my baby is going to grow up even faster from now on...and I must cherish these moments of his babyishness while it is still there.

Us



We haven't taken a photo of us together for a long time. This is a rare picture of us looking rather presentable. We dressed up last Saturday for Colin's 40th birthday bash at One degree 15 Marina Club where 100 beautiful people mingled. We had fun!
