And just like that, he turns 1 tomorrow 😭😭😭😭😭😭 HOW DID 1 YEAR PASS SO QUICKLY!?!?!? Granted the first few months felt like they went on FOREVERRRRR. The night feedings, the sore nipples, the CRAZY hormonal drop, the hair loss, the stitches, the weight gain (and loss). It’s true when they say having a baby is a rollercoaster. But as we now make it over the 1st year, I find myself reflecting on the days and nights I thought were hardest and how, even those, are now just a memory. When you’re in the thick of things you feel like they never end. But then you keep moving forward because there are more diapers to change, more bottles to clean, more doctors appointments, and before you know it, your baby isn’t a baby anymore. He’s interactive, responsive, funny, grumpy, excitable, strong: he’s basically a little human. And the reality of that is heartbreaking but at the same time, so incredibly beautiful. ❤️
Waited nearly 2 years to finally get new ink! (Pregnancy and first year of breastfeeding) I had soooo many designs saved in Pinterest (😂😂) of things I wanted to do. But in the recent months when my Grandma’s health was deteriorating I knew I wanted something to symbolise her. Since I was born she’s the only grandparent I’ve ever had. 35 years of only THIS Grandma. So I know when she goes she’s going to leave a huge void. I saw @md.poke ‘s work last years and I’ve been following her on Instagram for a while always in awe of her beautiful and intricate designs. She was gonna be in Singapore for a guest spot at @feather.cloud.tattoo but unfortunately all her slots were snatched up. I still sent her a message just to tell her I was a big fan and I’d love to one day get tattooed by her. She told me she flies of on the 12th of March but she could come into the studio and do a tattoo for me. How on earth could I have said no???? I looked through her flashes and picked this one cause it reminded me of Peranakan tiles (my grandma is Peranakan) I wanted it to be symmetrical because my Grandma has always provided balance for the family, even if she had to raise 9 kids all on her own. The fact that it was a hand poke tattoo and I got to fully experience every single dot of ink into my skin made it 1000% more meaningful (and to answer your question, no, it didn’t hurt very much) My mum was gonna watch Peanut during my appointment but she had to suddenly go take care of my grandma. I was gonna cancel my appointment reluctantly but the best guy @sohnx (also an artist at @feather.cloud.tattoo ) offered to watch Peanut while I got tattooed. THIS is the kind of community people talk about. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I loved every part of this experience. And I’m so thankful I get to tell the story every time someone compliments my tattoo. #tattoo #singapore

Here’s a throwback to our AMAZING stay at Momentus Serviced Residences Novena! We stayed for 6 nights and it was wonderful. It’s in SUCH a great location (the Novena MRT is just minutes from town) and there was too much good food around the area I’m pretty sure I put on weight 😂🙈 The apartment was very comfy and had everything you could need in a home (stove, full size fridge, washer & dryer, HUGE balcony) the room was cleaned twice a week (WIN!!!) and fresh toiletries and towels were replaced upon request. To be honest this is the longest I’ve stayed in a serviced apartment and after this trip, I can totally see the appeal when you wanna stay long term. Yes, hotels are wonderful for short stays (maybe 4 nights?) but if you’re like me and like traveling light, having your own washer DEFINITELY comes in handy. Especially when you travel with a child and God knows how dirty they can get on a daily basis 😂😂😂 also having a stove to prepare food for him or a microwave to heat up food was WONDERFUL. That’s really something I always want in a hotel room. I wish I had more time to use their pool and gym but that just gives me a good excuse to stay there again 😝 I got the 2 bedroom apartment (cause Peanut is sleep training so it’s better for him to have his own room) but they also have 1 bedrooms and studio apartments. Price wise it’s really not that bad!!! (You can check out their website for rates and availability) #momentusservicedresidencesnovena #momentswithus

Got to try something fun yesterday 🥰🥰🥰 The Dyson Airstrait takes you from ‘tower-dried’ to straight hair in roughly 15 minutes (depending on your hair type). It totally cuts out the need to first use a hair dryer and THEN a straightener (personally I think that’s a win especially when you’re travelling and you can only bring 1 styling tool) It also works on dry hair (although you won’t get to see the seamless finish as you would with damp hair) so it’s great for quick touch ups in between the day to keep frizzy hair at bay (THIS DAMN HUMIDITY) I’m a super lazy person (okay fine not really lazy but I have a 1 year old child which basically means I can have 1 hour to get ready or 15 minutes. I never know till I begin) so having a tool that cuts out a huge chunk of my ‘get-ready’ time is helpful. P.S. I was really surprised by how comfortable the Airstrait was to hold. In pictures it looked pretty big but it actually fits reeeaaally nicely in your grip. Win. Got questions? Ask in the comments below! ⤵️ #DysonSG #DysonAirstrait
