ecstacy...

mood: ecstatic
music: george michael - last christmas
comes in the form of many things. For me it is waking this morning and realising Marissa slept through the night...for the ENTIRE MONTH!

Maybe it was all those long talks with her, telling her to feel free to sleep through the night, and that Mummy might throw herself under a bus if she didn't consider it soon. Whatever did the trick, I am ecstatic. I’m not the sort of mum who says, "I’m exhausted, my baby can go wake up with someone else today."

For the first time in a long time, I feel chirpy on rising. She is, settling quickly now at bedtime. Baby steps I guess. If she doesn’t I will get her sleeping through by Christmas even if it kills me! I don't want to be traipsing about the house at 2am. At least I know she can do it now.

Are you listening, Marissa?? You’re 8 months old! Isn’t it about time??

if i had my way...

mood: contemplative
music: fleetwood mac - as long as you follow
I'd own a bookshop cafe that looked like this.



Toys lining up the bookshelves that carried childrens' books. Colourful paperbacks and hardcovers.

A book cafe where people could sit, eat and read for hours on end. I'd serve pies, colourful muffins and loads of food that warm the soul. It would be a place where my girls could help out and hang out after school. The store would carry beautiful stationery and notepads. The place would be quaint, cozy and inviting, I'd burn a lavender scent with friendly art pieces hanging off the walls.

I enjoy leading a small life. Small but significant and meaningful to me.







Enough daydreamimg for today. I've to get down to Cold Storage to order my Christmas ham. Heaps of errands to run this week.

conversation of the week

mood: indescribable
music: hall & oates - jingle bell rock
Andrea has learnt how to use a telephone. Dramatic music please! This means getting to my mobile and office number by speed dial. She calls me five times in the office on a work day.

Mummy, what are you doing?
Mummy, Marissa’s eating cereal.
Mummy, why you call me huh. I’m busy ok.
Mummy, I love you. Come home now.
Mummy, I love you. Buy me a lollipop.
Mummy, Marissa’s naked.
Mummy, I’m naked.

To which I reply, “Is there bathing involved? Is it bathtime?”
“Yes.”
“Well, carry on the nakedness then.”


I’m so glad I’m on leave from next week till next year. Then I can have this conversation with my child face to face. Preferably clothed.



I love this photo of my girls. Marissa looks like she's complaining about something. Check out the finger pointing!

gingersnaps

mood: cheerful
music: madonna - santa baby



Last evening, I took my girls to Gingersnaps at Raffles City to buy their Christmas dresses. Andrea now wants to wear everything that Marissa wears. She insisted for a good half hour that she wants the exact same dress as her sister for Christmas. I don’t really like to clothe my girls in similar dresses, I want them to have their own identity but who am I to begrudge my child of that?

Gingersnaps carry clothes for children that are comfortable and made of very soft fabric, I'm very particular about this because I remember having to wear organza lined dresses during festive seasons and I hated it! The last thing I want is for my girls to be scratching like monkeys at Christmas.

This was what I settled for.



Blue-purple eyelet dress with pleating at the front for both my girls.

And now I will show you what a vainpot my older one is when faced with a mirror.



Marissa's such a bundle to cuddle! If you're not into Christmas, you should really avoid my blog for the whole month of December. I catch some sort of Christmas sickness. I'm pretty much high on life for the whole month of December. What can I say? Tis' the season to be jolly. Just 2 more weeks to Christmas!

I'M SO IN LOVE WITH MY LITTLE ONE.

mood: bitchy
music: XMAS CAROLS
i'm leaving SANTA a piece of note; a gift of love.


HAHAHA.

my school holidays are becoming so boring and not fruitful. maybe, i should go for guitar lessons. string a note, sing a song and melt your heart. hmm how about that old blue guitar?... i love being random. i have been visiting town these days, chilling at BUCKS. yea it's getting me so bored that i wanna leave s'pore. 313 SOMERSET is the IN-PLACE, reason behind? people are crazy over the cheap sales at UNIQLO. ( i think i'm trying to blog like how most people blog hahaha. i want to be IN too.) zzzz.
sorry,
i'm not in the right state of mind. my results are sucking my toes real badly, like half of the toe nail is gone? because it's over, i'm telling myself and my lovely ones that try harder next semester! ( but again, we always remind ourselves but yet nothing done hahaha) yes, better buck up this time round. anyway, it's not affecting me much. JUST SCREWED MYSELF FOR ALWAYS BEING LATE FOR CLASSES. who to blame? i want a short getaway trip! here's all about money, education and..... just endless stress. come on, i'm giving you a sad face so grant me a wish!

alright lovelies, i'm going back to my drama series. rock my toes baby. sleeping soundly huh?

music: band aid - do they know it's christmas

I wanna be your flower girl, mummy.

But I got married already, darling. I married daddy.

Oh. Mummy don’t want to get married again? Cannot get married so many times?

Well, that’s the hope, babe.

cutesy shit

mood: sore
music: luther vandross - have yourself a merry little christmas


Over the weekend, with my kids in tow I tried to accomplish shortening my Christmas present buying list by getting a few gifts. I say a few because it is extremely distracting to think about whether a person would like what I was gonna get for them with my 3 year old whining "Are we DONE yet? I'm tired. I'm HUNGRY. I need to pee. It's coming out."

And then as usual, other than food, I’m not very focus minded. This resulted in the buying of a bag and a dress.



Usually I’m opposed to any cutesy bullshit. Especially with the ruffle detail on the dress and the balloons on the bag.

But well, one can always make an exception.

Do you care
If I don't know what to say,

Can you sleep tonight
Will you think of me?

Can you shake this off
Pretend its all okay?

That there's someone out there
Who feels just like me?

There is...


"Stop feeling sorry for yourself & get a grip..."

omg 3 months?!

Yet again it's been months since I've posted something here...

Well, school's finally out for me. No more projects, no more exams. Here's to early mornings and goodbye late nights. (Yes, I'm quite upset about this.) Got credits for 3 of my papers and a pass conceded for finance. Oh wells, can't complain as long as I pass right?

Got a job a MICA and damit, it's a drag! No, assistant manager position was a scam, and 8 bucks per hour is definitely not my idea of "whoopeedo!" A week of work has passed, and oh my gawd, I'm already dying at work. Nothing much motivating there, only countdowns to end day an end week; and right after that, the irksome feeling of getting up for work early in the mornings. Only a week and already I'm wishing for 3 months to pass quickly. x(

School break wasn't much of a holiday or break either, so I'm probably gonna spend a year playing around with my time before I enslave myself into the workforce.

BANGKOK! Hopefully it'll happen in March, I want a holiday!!!

Christmas is coming and so is the new year, gawd, time passes too quickly sometimes.
So what resolutions should I come up for 2010?
Hmm....

if you're rich, you win the battle. because life is never fair.

mood: bored
music: you know me-robbie willams

i realised, the more you wanna make it low, the more people actually know and talk about it.
i was defeated by the 'little thing'; (if you ever know what i'm referring to.)

everything become so mundane.
