Attractive Package to boost Singapore's Birth Rate!

The government is giving more tax breaks, parental leave to boost Singapore’s birth rate. 16 weeks of maternity leave, baby bonus of $4000 etc. Indeed very attractive but not for me. Two is enough for me, at least at this moment.

With Keegan growing up, he wants attention too. Have to manage him and Meredith well to prevent jealousy. What is most headache for me is during sleeping time, when I need to help Meredith to brush teeth and change pyjamas, Keegan will cry for attention. Think I got to ask my maid to change her shower time. Really cannot imagine those mothers out there without maids.

Every night, they will both have their bedtime stories before sleeping. Meredith will sleep first followed by Keegan after his last feeding and lights off.

The only free time which I have is when both of them are asleep, which is now... So, third one... hmmmm...

Happy Birthday!

Eugene's birthday is on 5 July, but he will not be around as he is travelling to China tomorrow.

We bought a "small" cake for him and sang him an early birthday song.

3 more kgs and 2.5 inch to go ...

My goodness, I can't fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans and pants. No issue for my blouses and t-shirts, only difference is the breasts are much fuller and bigger with milk milk).

I thought I could, as this time round, the c-section done by my gyane was much nicer and the tummy is slimmer than the 1st pregnancy.

Those were the days whereby I used to have 24 inch waistline and weighing 42 kg, wearing XS.

Well, got to work harder, 3 more kgs and 2.5 inch to go.

Happy Birthday To Myself!

This year, I have no birthday cake ... and also cannot go out of the house... sob, sob, sob... Having my confinement, cannot consume egg as per my confinement lady.

However, my greatest birthday present was Keegan Goh.

Mummy, you are so "smelly"

One of the things that cannot be done during confinement: - no shower and hair wash, can only wipe the body with the herbal water and powder shampoo hair.

I have not had my shower since 7 April, a total of 14 days. My hair stinks like hell... have been sweating so much. Can see little "flies" flying around me.

Meredith said "mummy, you are so smelly" & Eugene called me "sour cow", the only one with no complain is Keegan. Why cow? cos I have been expressing breast milk for Keegan every 3 hourly.

Cannot tahan liao, have requested for shower and hair wash tomorrow using herbal water and finally, my confinement nanny agreed to it. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Being an Exciting Wife starting Y2008!

As usual, no countdown party for New Year's Eve for Eugene, Dith & myself.

We had dinner with Eugene's customer and his family who were in Singapore for holiday at Long Beach @ Dempsey Hill. Afterwhich, we dropped them at Paragon and proceeded to Kiddy Palace at Toa Payoh HDB Hub since Dith wanted to go "kai kai".

On our way back home, Eugene commented that his wish for me starting Y2008 is to turn me into an exciting wife so that I will not turn "yellow" after being a SAHM for 2 years, also with our second baby boy arriving soon in early April 2008.

Appreciate wines, networking and attending personal development courses with him etc., are his wishes. Okie, I will try ...

As for Eugene, he will be travelling overseas even more this year. I hope he will take good care of his own health and wish him a peaceful & prosperous year ahead.

Meredith will be starting her nursery tomorrow in a new school, I hope she will enjoy herself making new friends.
