Truth is, I don’t know where the last two weeks have gone to. The hospital stay rolled into coming home; us both thrust into this new world of Babydom called Parenthood. Even as I type this, I am wrecked with exhaustion from the insane schedule all newborns keep and the physical toll of breastfeeding on [...]

At their last OBGYN visit they learnt that they could be due ANYTIME despite being only a lil over 36 weeks. They blitz as much as they could- meetings, assignments, made work and personal arrangements for this-that-the other and basically maxed out the days. Most days, they would crash out a lil over midnight, each [...]
pregnancy issues: when things around fall apart

This girl likes to think that she’s got some capacity for empathy, for feeling for other people and for being able to feel at least some modicum of an emotional impact for the people about her. Death, birth, success, failure… they should all mean something even if one is simply standing at the sidelines watching [...]

Sometimes this girl finds it hard to believe that the weeks have just flown by and its February already. Where did January go?! With their initiation into the last trimester, this girl now sees her OBGYN more frequently and as a result, they get to see baby more often too. Which is always nice; if [...]

The good news: This Girl is feeling less like a beach whale this week. No, its not that she’s any slimmer (Ha! As though that were possible) but it comes to reckon that she’s learning to carry the extra weight a little better. She’s not put on much elsewhere, like her limbs and such, and [...]
Christmas differences: 2008 vs 2009

Usually, Christmas is a big deal. When This Girl was younger, Christmas eve was spent caroling- going house to house singing carols, collecting door gifts (which to a child is a big deal) and eating your heart’s out. As This Girl hit her teens, it was still caroling on the eve, with a pitstop at [...]
Melbourne 2009: Coming home

Ten glorious days of peace! The Company held up great without this girl; big kudos to Brunei Princess who had to step in to deal with clients and projects. The Boy managed to NOT open his lappy which he lugged along like a security blanket and only fielded like three work calls all trip choosing [...]
God knows

Its been a crazy day and the people this girl has had to meet with today really tested her patience. Like REALLY. R.E.A.L.L.Y. tested her patience. Even The Boy who’s got infinitely more patience than she does, especially lately with her pregnant brain and moods, found himself so annoyed his ears began to heat up. [...]
Pregnancy thoughts: might be a while (28th July)
Posted in 1st Trimester, GOoD things, just me, pregnancy, socks & blessings on September 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This girl figured it might be a while before she actually posts this entry seeing how she’s always known she’d want to wait till the first trimester is over before letting the rest of the world know. In fact, as she writes this in the solitude of her bedroom and in the quietness of the [...]

There’s been a slew of weddings in the last few months. We’ve made it for some, some we had to pass. Some we enjoyed, some were worse than my wisdom tooth extraction. Some had funny videos, some had the usual wedding montages that made this girl wonder if the wedding video editing firms have some [...]
Not at ground zero this year
Posted in just me, life learnings, life rules, travel, tagged 911, ground zero, new york on September 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Two years ago this day, this girl stood at ground zero. She watched protesters set against the backdrop of families and friends who came to remember loved ones they lost when the twin towers and the Pentagon was hit in the world’s most public and daring act or terrorism. Then 911 happened, this girl was [...]
birthday treats

This girl’s 29th birthday passed queitly and with little fanfare- time with family and take away crab noodles from the famous Melben Crab place and loads of laugh. Over the week prior and the week after, this girl cut 5 separate cakes with different groups of friends and ate far too much. And as she [...]

Its been another tiring week- busy with clients and projects and little time for much personal rest. At least this girl managed some stolen time away with Brunei Princess and Warrior Princess (oh my goodness, she just realized there’s a lot of princess-ness happening) where they mixed work and some girl time out at a [...]
sheer fragrance

When this girl was in Hong Kong last year, she picked up a new fragrance by Stella McCartney called Sheer. In a fit of girliness, this girl fell in love with the beautifully designed pink floral bottle and its mild fleur fragrance. One reviewer writes of the scent: In 2003, the fashion designer Stella McCartney [...]
bewitched

This girl and The Princess have always loved the old 1960s show Bewitched starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York as the witch-turned-housewife Samantha and her advertising exec Darrin Stephens. The show follows their hilarious exploits as Samantha- at her husband’s insistence- tries to to give up- valiantly- her witching ways and live as mortals do. [...]
