The month was spent in confinement with Chickpea … at least in theory :p Looking back, the days have melted together and kinda flew by, which shows that I didn’t have it too bad, I guess? Let me try to recall the highlights … Read More
During my shower, I feel some water escape. At first I doubt myself and then I become sure, omg my waterbag is leaking … again. (This was also how my labour with Watermelon started.)
I put on a maternity pad, and lie down beside Watermelon to coax her to sleep. I feel a little sentimental thinking about how life is about to change in a huge way, and that this could be the last night of Watermelon being my only child.
I woke up at 6.30am in a panic, thinking I had wet the bed. Seems like a little more water continued to release.
I really want to eat nasi lemak, so I make NG bring me to Changi Village, after we drop off Watermelon at school. The plan is to eat, then walk along the beach, but the late morning becomes too hot to walk in the sun. Instead we eat chendol and then head home. Read More

1. Wore a maxi skirt to work last week and my tummy did not like the tight elastic waistband at all 😦 I’m in super early days and my body is already sending out signals!
2. Feeling extra snarky these days. Have to talk myself out of making too many mean comments. Read More
Yeppp, Watermelon is due to be a kakak, insyaAllah! Here’s a post I drafted in late June …
The week we found out was a confusing one, because it seemed like my pregnancy symptoms could be explained another way.
For instance, lethargy — I’d stayed up late baking macarons two nights before raya, so I thought the lack of sleep was the reason why I felt so so tired and crashed into bed at 9pm on malam raya. Read More
