Im finally well, after close to a month, I can finally munch on cheezels & M&Ms without coughing & choking like a diseased women.
Drank 3 different kind of cough remedy and all doesn't work. Had to visit GP twice before the medicine starts working. Counter medication really doesn't work. Regrey wasting my time & money on them seriously.
I missed my daily snacks so much O think Im close to depression during work. So even though Im still having teensy bit of phlegm at the back of my throat. Im not waiting anymore. Its cheezels , M&Ms, juices, everything. Bring it on. But I will still down as much liquid as possible, of course.
Baby Z had running nose a few days ago, and hubby & me was like 'Not again'
Thankfully, it went away after a few days of Cod liver oil that we gave baby.
Can't believe it's been 6 mths at my new job. Had my job assessment done informally 4 days ago. Basically everything has been good so far. There are the ups & downs but I am sticking to my strong faith that this will be a good place to stick on.
I'm so thankful, so grateful for the opportunity given by God through a family member. Looking back, I knew I wouldn't enjoy my son's first year as much should I have stick with my old job.
Praise the Lord.

A brand new re-start
Have been working at a new company for close to 3mths now. But Im liking every single day of it. Hours pass swiftly, it's pretty fast pace too in a certain way but there is no pressuring ridiculous deadlines to follow.
I never dislike deadlines, just dislike the irrational ones.
And of course there is No more discounts off expensive clothes that I dun intend to buy. No more scrutinization of ur dressing from ultra fashionable people whom either wear outfits too young OR too old for their age. No more fashion show, no more casting of gorgeous models, no more Macarons. Ok i miss the Macarons the most.
Having spent 3 yrs here, I thot I wld feel a tinge of 舍不得 but surprisingly, my last day was just like any other day. In fact, even quieter than normal days as lots of colleagues were overseas. Haha. Better this way too. Since 10 yrs down the road I wun remember this part of my life much anyway.
In the past, I used to often wonder, is there something wrong with me, why can't I jus get along. No matter how hard I try. It just doesn't fit, it's like a mismatch jigsaw puzzle.
Than I learn.
"Haters don't hate you. They hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they want to be"
I have a successful love life whereby I end up married to a wonderful man and now have a beautiful son. I am slim and vibrant even after delivering my beautiful son. I have parents that love and care for me. Siblings that doesn't display open affection but are there for u whenever u need help. I'm always contended at what I have. I have a stable job with adequate income.
So Yes, I dun blame anyone for ever hating or disliking me.
"If someone has a problem with you, remember, it's their issue. Don't give up any of your energy to negativity. You are worth so much more than that."

What to buy for Baby Shower
Been to a ex-schoolmate baby shower a few days back, and when a friend pop the question of what should they buy for a baby shower, it gives me ideas for a blog post.
Since I’m a mother of one now, I was thinking of sharing what to buy for a baby shower. Buying baby gifts can be one of the most complicated decision one faces, especially if the new mum n dad are your close friend or friends that matter a lot to you but you have really no idea what to get for them. So here’s a few tips.
What to buy if you are sharing with a big group
Budget between 100-200 dollars
Baby Bouncer/Rocker
Baby Booster seat such as the popular Bumbo with feeding tray, it’s the most in baby chair right now, and baby can sit in them once they can hold up their little head, which is roughly between 3-4mth.
Activity Gym Mat, If you wanna take a break from all that carrying, this mat could certainly entertain your little chum for 5-15mins. But be sure to always stay beside if not nearby when they are playing.
Play mats, Do check if your friend's place has a nice big space, cause these mats tend to be big and if they are living in a crampy HDB flat, than the mats would most likely be kept rolled up all the time. In that case, you may wanna consider getting a alphabet mat. The kind that look like jigsaw puzzle.
Baby beddings, although they would of course already have one which their baby sleeps on, but any additional bedding would be really helpful as they can have more to replace whenever they sent it for washing.
Baby Carrier. You may wish to check with them if they already have one. Since its sharing with a big group, you could buy from a good brand such as Ergobaby.

And than there’s the buying as an individual
Budget between $30 - $100
Sophie the Giraffe , award winning baby teether toy. Unlike the rest of the teething toys in the market whereby they are either too big or too small, the size of the giraffe allows your little one to grab it by its leg or neck and comfortably thrust it into their eager mouth. You can buy it at Takashimaya or simply google it online as it is carried by many online baby stores.
Baby Musical Book, all babies love music and lights, my baby's musical book keeps him from screaming every time, works like a charm.
Diapers, that works for all parents, though you may not know what brand they are using, but usually in the first month, parents are experimenting with a few brands to see which is best for their baby, so by you sponsoring them, they do not need to use their own money to buy various brand to test it out.
Baby clothes gift set.
Baby rattle, as the cost is relatively low, it is good if you are on a really tight budget but would still like to buy something nice. If you have a bigger budget, throw in a teething toy for good measures.
Gift vouchers, this is among all, the best. Don’t think I need to say more. But than, what’s the fun in that. Personally, I love shopping for gifts, and gift vouchers are usually an option I took if I am running out of time and I really do not know the couple that well.
Stuff I would recommend you not buy
DOM, though drinking this stuff is really good for the new mummy, but confinement is almost over by now, so it may be a little too late to get this.
Chicken essence, same rationale as DOM, with the terrible confinement over, the mummy should have pretty much recovered the strength by now, if not, what she needs is probably a good night sleep and not chicken essence to keep her awake.
Fruits, this is a baby shower, not a visit to the hospital, hello~~
Gold anklets, though the value of gold is much appreciated, it seems odd for friends to give that, isn’t that more of a grandma thingy. You wouldn’t want the grandma to look bad, should your gold anklet be thicker or nicer than theirs right.
Nursing Pads, aka Breast pads, used for padding up a maternity bra and is ideally for Mums with lotsa milk supply. Not all mums need that, and if they are no longer breastfeeding, giving them this is like giving them a jab of guilty medicine. If you really have extras that looks brand new, why not just pass it to the new parents for free and throw in some toys or diapers.

Sure hope this helps. Gonna update this list with more items should any more pop into my mind today.Actually, there are really lotsa wonderful gifts out there, and if that friend means something to you, pop by a baby store or make a quick surf online, you will definitely find something.

Revival Awaits me.
I have no idea how I’m gonna start the momentum of keeping up a blog. Its like once you stop, the writer blocks starts piling higher and higher on you and eventually you have no motivation nor interest to write a single entry. But still, my life is about to take on a new beginning, a very happy beginning, so it gives me the inspiration to go back to what I like doing. Writing my blog.
Ever since I started my days in the ‘fashion’ line, my interest in blog writing seems to drop day after day. Because I like to blog when Im in a happy, amused, crazy, self-obsessed, kaypoh mood. But for the past few years, work has taken on such an emotional toil on me, I have no interest in any other stuff. I should have seen that coming earlier, but well, everything happens for a reason. Yes God, I’m finally hearing you now. Perhaps you wanted me to stay that long so that I can see even clearer, the FASHION line, the MARKETING world is seriously not my cup of tea. Its something I am very willing to drop at any point in time, and I’m hoping I’m gonna have the opportunity to drop it very soon. Marketing is a very exciting, glamorous, fun, dynamic career, or so it appears. It is not too bad, yes, but simply put, not my cup of tea.
My smile has been erased slowly from my face over the past 2.5 years, working here it feels so…uncomfortable.Right from the start.Can't wait to leave. No more pretenses, no more cheek paste cheek kind of greeting. No more live telecast of uncomfortable, nonsensical debate on how much VIPS should spend in order to get discount. No more trying to fit in. No more doing manual stupid cleaning of database, no more answering of stupid questions.
I truly Thank God for a good loving family, a 95% percent perfect hubby, a super duper adorable baby. Deep down I really knew God you are good to me. I know these are from the grace of God, simply put, none of the people ard me at work has this full family life.
Between company ExCitIng events and staying at home with my hubby reading watching downloaded movies, i choose the latter any day. Now even better, I get to play with the most adorable baby. Suck on that fellas.
Revival awaits me. Baby, mummy coming home now. Oh God, I love you.
