Silly faces - same but different

Look at Jake.

Look at Kate.

I'm so blessed to have these two little adorable munchkins in my life.

TGIF !

A special morning

So proud of my man - that's him, shaking hands with the Defence Minister

And amidst the chaos of it all, we squeezed in a quick lunch and bought a yoghurt after. That fleeting moment of amusement and amazement as we strolled side-by-side, eating our yoghurt along Orchard Road... was rather surreal. I cannot remember the last time we "pak tor" like that (even if this was not a planned date); it still means the world to me to spend time with my husband.

I'm so proud of you, babe!

The bug hits us

So, it's week 3 of this bug in our household. It's too painful to document details, so here's the topline.

It started with K, complaining of a tummyache on a Sunday evening. 

It quickly burned into fever... which continued for the next week. Top hits were 40-degrees every, single night. She seemed to get slightly better, then two days later complained about tummy pains and a follow-up to the doctor's put her on a dose of antibiotics. That helped clear her bug over the next 4 days - hooray!

Then... J started running a temperature. Repeat cycle of 40-degrees fever straight for 4 days. Boo.

He is now better, no antibiotics needed, mild diarrhea and coughing. We just need to get rid of the horrible phlegm in his body. Boo. Just for notes, this boy's eyes glazes over when his temperatures shoots up. So, poor thing.

In the third week, I begin to feel unwell. I have been running a borderline fever for the past 5 days and my body is on what I call the "panadol clock". It is defined as a 5-hourly-shift where I need to pop the meds or my body starts to breakdown. My throat hurts and today is the 5th day where I'm less feverish, but my tummy is beginning to feel extremely queasy. Let's hope that my best efforts to keep myself healthy will keep me healthy.

So yesterday, I had a cute conversation with my boy (via the phone).

Me: Hello J, are you feeling better? Do you still have fever?

J: No, no fever.

Me: you know where it is? 

J: No.

Me: The fever is with me. You passed it to Mommy!

(silence)

J: Is it just like a ball?

HAHAHA.

Saturday morning

Simple pleasures of the morning. 

• did some bit of yoga 
• had breakfast with my two lovelies 
• big kid is illness-free and we can resume our regular Saturday programme of going to class 

She was in reasonable mood, dressing herself and I'm pleased she put on a bracelet gift from my friend #happyprettybaby

And this morning, let's get cracking on the weekend homework I need to get done

Happy Saturday!

The girl, fixing something

This happened some weeks back at the Grandma's house. It was quite a sight. The boy zoned in on the masak set, while the girl meddled with the tools. I love how they diversify their interests and they just, well, play.
