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...
i finally found something i would write about in this series! i know its not the sexiest thing ever, writing about nursing rooms and baby-friendliness (although a friend of mine just made 'clean, hygienic, discrete and comfortable' sound like a place to get ehem). i failed at sexy many years back anyway. motherhood is something new to me, so i guess it would be an interesting study.

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...
