Reduze!!

It has been 4 months after I delivered the twins and I still have 6-7kg to drop. The weight seem to be stucking on me and refuse to shake off my fat body. Ok, I have not been really exercisig too. So, I have started myself on the dieting pills - Reduze.

I have tried the 2nd boxes and yet to see result, I am getting worried. Am i beyond help? Are the fat too fixed to my body and they are not going anywhere? I don't want to be the fat aunty and hate to still look pregnant after 4 months. I need to get rid of the fat and get into shape.

Sounds like heap of execuses, I am really very sleep deprived and the thought of waking up earlier on my free morning to exercise sounds worst than a nightmare to me. I am not advice to jog, so I wanted to do brisk walking and I have not moved my ass to start walking. The least that I did was to do hola exercise at home. I am so screwed....I know!! I will stop procastinating and start moving!! Pray for me...Please!!!

Farewell to my table

A realisation

I have a sudden realisation that there are certain people that just do not deserved any of my attention. Make use of them when needed, of cause not causing harm if possible but if harm is inevitable, then just too bad. Sounds horrible? This is what happened everyday around us.

With this, I have learnt to support and love my loved one, hopefully unconditionally. I am glad that I have such true and pure love around me that I feel blessed whenever I need the assurance.

Photo wall

Due to limited space in our place and the only place to put up our photo is on the wall. We started with our picture (me and louis) and with the twins arrival, we have started a new segment just for them.

I think at the rate that I am taking and printing their pictures, we need more wall space for their pictures man!!

Holiday starts now..

I took 2 weeks leave from work, partly because of the coming trip to Guang Zhou and I thought might as well take a few more days. I am now having coffee at Starbucks Orcard in the middle of the day while waiting for Louis, he is having his hair cut. This feel pretty good, I sent the twins over to my nanny this morning and will be picking them up in the evening, I still have half a day to myself.

Going for lunch soon....seeya!!!!

Space redesign

For those who have visited my place would know how small my apartment is and it is even smaller now that we have the twins. So, we have to redesign, rearrange, rethink how to maximize the small space that we have to accommodate our changing needs. The first to go is our super huge dinning table which I love so much. I am a person that believed in big dinning table that we can have get together dinner and everyone seated on the same table when I do host dinner. But now, I will have to make do with a smaller one and no gathering at my place for the next few years. We need the dinning area for the twins play pen.

The twins had also took up two of the bed rooms, their stuffs are everywhere and we hardly space for any other things. Not to mentioned our store room, it is filled with milk powder, diapers, wet wipes, hand me down clothes and toys. We need to buy containers to keep their littles toys and I can foresee that their items will just keep increasing and we have to keep giving up our space for them unless we manage to move to a bigger place.....hmmm when and where will that be???

First oversea trip in 2011

We booked our Guangzhou holiday in Jan 2011 and time flies, we will be departing for the trip on the coming Wednesday. I am excited for the trip, I am looking forwards to the shopping and eating and massage. Although I know this is a long waited holiday, I will still probably missed the twins quite a bit but I will survived.

Will see how we fair after this holiday and if we are doing good ( the twins, nanny and us), we should be able to plan for short trip. We want to try bringing them to Perth, that will be our target for next year!! Uncle Christian and Uncle MC, be ready for our visit, ok!!

Babies jab

The twins had their first 5-in-1 jab today. As expected they had a good cried but didn't last too long, they behaved pretty well. Based on Sincere weight and height, his size is above average and he will be a tall boy when he grows up. Righteous is average little girl, she will not be very tall but just nice.

Doctor did an assessment on their growth progress too. Ah girl is went ahead of ah boy, doctor gave her an excellent status while ah boy need a second assessment in 1 month time. Nothing to be alert or concern, boy do developed slower than girl. However, doctor did said ah girl development is pretty advancement for her age...:)

Now that they are bigger, I do missed them when I don't get to see them daily. They are my little darling that melt my heart when they smile at me happily. We are going to GuangZhou for holiday in a few more days, am sure I will miss them but will learn to let go so that I can plan more holiday. Am grateful once again that I have a trusted nanny that I can leave them to when I need to getaway.

I survived my 1st month

it has been 1 month or rather 5 weeks back at work and we have kick start the arrangement of bringing the twins back daily except for the 2 days that Louis works late. Frankly, my mental engine took a while to operate at a optimum capacity. During the initiate weeks, I do have problem catching up on emails and the working pace. Probably due to lack of sleep, it seem to be tough to have a full concentration. Fortunately, it does gets better as the days progress.

The twins just crossed 3 months old. They are getting more active and fun to be with. Bringing them home daily does help to bond the relationship but they are also demanding little creatures. Feeding time has been most challenging with their changing mood. Sometime, they refuse to finish their milk and when I tried feeding them again, they will vomit out. It happened for both the boy and girl.

IPad 2

IPad 2 is totally cool and what more than cool is we got it as our award for our long service...which mean it is almost free!!! Have been busy setting up the iPad and downloading kid application. With iPad, the screen for iPhone just look so tiny.

Back at work

I survived the first week back at work. It wasn't too tough since I left the twins at my babysitter home for the entired week and only bringing them home on Friday evening.

Was pretty busy at work and quite a fair bits of catching up to do even though I am only away for 2 months. There are too many meetings for the first week and I barely have time to go thru all the emails and it is already Friday.

Weekend will be a challenging time for me, I will be home alone with the Twins on Saturday. We will be fine...I know!!

End of Maternity leave

2 months passes quick and I am at the end of my 2 months maternity leave, will be starting work next Monday. Rightly speaking, what passes fast are the weeks after confinement and when the babies are staying with my aunty (the babysitter). Last weekend was the first weekend that I have to bring them back, had great deal of anxiety and mixed feeling and it was an extremely busy weekend too. We attended two wedding dinners and it was an experienced.

My holiday is over and I have to face motherhood in its full prospective. We have made the decision to bring the twins back daily except for days when Louis is on afternoon or night shift which is 2 days per weeks. I am grateful for this arrangement, it means I would have 2 night of good rest per week.

I had a celebration dinner with Louis at Mortons to celebrate the birth of the twins and parenthoods. I shared with him my worries and my constant desired to cry whenever I think of the stress of taking care of the babies. Am glad that Louis is encourarging and giving me assurance that we will be fine. The dinner at Mortons was the most expensive dinner I had so far, service was superb, Onion bread taste wonderful and the steaks was great. Too bad, we were too full to have desert or rather we didn't want to spend that kind of money. So, we went to MacDonald and ordered the Ice-cream as our desert of the night.

Anyway, I will count my blessing and be grateful for the healthy and wonderful babies that I have and learn to embrace each other company. Me and Louis have also agreed to have our monhtly date to have nice and quiet dinner together but definitley not Mortons, too expensive.

Anxiety attack

I suspect that I am having some forn of anxiety attack when I can't sleep in straight two days. Freaking tired but just can't get to sleep. On day 1, I thought it could be the iced coffee I had earlier in the day but on day 2, I suspect it is anxiety because we brought baby boy back from my babusitter place. I think I am losing sleep because babies are coming back. The ironic thing is, I am worried that I won't have enough sleep when they are around, ended up my own stress causes me to lose my sleep even when they are not around, well done, isn't it?? The hot weather is not helping too and we preferred not to on the aircon when they are back caused we can't see them when the door is closed. But as I am writing this, I have closed the door, on the aircon and my boy is sleeping alone in his room. I desperately need some rest!!

General Election 2011

Like what our Prime Minster said, this election determined the next generation of Minsters and future of Singapore and we are all waiting eagerly for the result. This is the first time that we saw and heard many discussion and attention about the election from all generation, especially the post 70s. This is a good sign, at least it showed that, we do care and we are concerned about our Country. It will be sad and scary if the election means nothing to us.

I have not attended a Rally and this election came at a time when I just have two new born, might try attending one 5 years later to feel the heat and passion generated. Louis attended the rallies and he brought these back for me.....
