My typical day

So, motherhood is like that. :)

My typical day begins with breakfast, then Jo's feed, followed by taking her for a walk to Grandma's with maid to bring Grandma to my place. Then bathe Jo, get ready for lunch etc. Daily, it's rather cool to organise the home, grow Jo, make sure that there's enough bread, milo, tomoto or peanut butter to last the day.

So, there's where the overseer anointing came in handy!

I now know what vegetables can last a week in my fridge, what can't so if I buy groceries weekly, we'll cook those that cannot last first. I now know how to cook Vinegar Pork Leg, Jiang Cong Beef, Black Sauce Pork, Black Fungus Chicken etc. Hee, even Grandma commented that I trained my maid well and her cooking is good :)

It's been 2.5 months since I'm launched into motherhood. And though in the beginning it's been a super steep learning curve, now it's rather fun!

Thank God for seeing me through this, and alot of encouragement from Hubba and family!

Inspired



Was so inspired after reading my ex-spiritual mother's blog who has 2 daughters now.. (1 was born 3 days after Jo! We actually met at the hospital!) She's so faithful to update her 2 girls' milestones of growth!

So I decided to update- Jo is roughly 6 kg now, and around 59cm long. According to her Great-grandmother, she has super big feet and hands, an indication that she will be a tall girl (Like her 1.8m tall Dad)

This is now week 10, and Praise God, she sleeps now from 12am to 7am. (Though Mummy still wakes up every 3hour to pump and store precious breast milk for her!) Every morning after her feed, we bring her out for walk at the park, or walk to her Great Grand mother's place to fetch her to our place. :)

Which Hair Suits me most?




Which hair suits me most? Honestly, my personal fave is Straight Hair with short fringe. My husband likes the Curly hair with short fringe though... Currently, I am having Straight Hair with Long Fringe. Should I cut my fringe? Hee... Cannot decide :)

2nd Year Wedding Anniversary



2 years ago, I walked down the aisle and gave my vows to my husband, to be his helper, friend.. till death do us part.

It was done before the Lord, in front of the community. I still remember the day, the moment...

Time flies. We have gone through so much in 2 years. Alot of testing, alot of fights, alot of making up.. alot of learning and understanding each other... alot of funny memories.. fighting battles in ministry together.. and now, a new addition to our family - Johanna.

God, you are good. Thank you :)

On this day, we went to an award winning Japanese restaurant. My husband ordered the chef special that included things like Sperm of Whale, Sea Urchin, Melt in your mouth Tuna and Octopus. It was really a great meal (for him lah!). For me, because I'm still breast feeding, can only eat Ten Ju (Tempura with Rice).. Yes.. boring!

After that meal, we went around Orchard to shop, but ended up buying word cards for Johanna. (Ha ha!)

Here's my husband present for me! Hee...
