bad habits

so i haven't updated this blog for what-- 2 weeks?
i need more discipline.
quick, let me give you a short one for the moment, i promise (right...) to write more by the time my toddler is snoring happily (simply put, before midnight).

haze season came early in singapore. we usually get it by mid year, and this coupled with this dry spell sweeping the region, is simply a norm now. i don't hear that much grumbling anymore, it's a regular day. it may have something to do with the past few days and weeks, with all these natural and man-made disasters going on around the world. On a more personal level--why do I keep on hearing about friends' kids getting 'bumps' (and dog bites. yikes) that need to be stitched?

As of today the Malaysian Airlines flight is still missing, it is confirmed we are suffering El Nino, there's this building that collapsed in Park Ave New York due to fire.

My heart goes out to MH370 (especially now). Now there's news of the airline retiring this flight code in memory of the disaster. Is it just me or do I smell a marketing strategy?

Oh wait. I smell haze.

I have forever been a frustrated musician. the human voice may be a musical instrument, fine, but I've always admired people who can play an instrument. and play really well. my first 'real' foray into this, and by real i mean i got into it by my own derision, so the 'shared' organ and the 'wtf, i did not see that coming pa, but thank you' guitar both gifted to me by my parents does not count--  well, it was the flute. my freshmen bff menchu. note the awkward -looking geek on the right. i played in a band, gedemit. not that 'cool' band, more of a school band. we played marches and a little bit of pocahontas if you get what i mean. the flute was a dream come true, I felt like Hikaru Katsuragi, minus the pleasant face and coiffed hair. i didn't have the money to buy one (thank god not everyone was good with it so i don't have to share it with so many others--i meant you, clarinet playahs), so I had to borrow the school's.

My birth story

So, finally after 2 and almost a half year I finally thought "yeah, i think i can do this marathon". I'm referring to my birth story, which I thought I don't really need to document, and I've read a lot about from other people, and that I thought it's fine, I will spare everyone the details of how I laboured for almost a day, and that my son does not need to know how I suffered happily (neck deep in sarcasm here) to get him out. Seriously, the only thought that comforted me that time was "it will all be over soon. it will not last forever." Funny. I am writing now because I am challenging myself to write about something concise. And that because I want my son to read about this when he's old enough (because he can read now, and it will only be a matter of months before he can read a story by himself. oh boy, can he read.), and maybe come back to it when he needs to be reminded and assured. That I am a sentimental shmuck, and I deman

A lot of things have changed. I got married, moved to Europe, moved back to Singapore, got preggers, had a baby, career on hiatus. There. Let's just say the major thing I've been into these days, for the past two years revolves around a number-loving, alphabet-crunching two year old. Things had to be rescheduled because motherhood really takes an awful lot of time. Also, it makes you slow down. I am trying not to sound too whiny, but I don't want to sound smug either.  Oh hey, wait a minute. let me tell you about me now. 1. I love salads. I can think salad, look them up on pinterest, and just imagine how certain ingredients taste like, what dressing (although I am more of an olive oil, italian dressing kind of girl). I know, it's not really an exciting item-- I think this is what getting to my 30s made me. A salad loving hippie.  2. I can touch my toes with the grace and flexibility of someone who stretches everyday. 3. I just learned my first uku
