Ramblings: August 2009
http://brainjuice-ramblingsofanewmom.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. In yesterday's Sunday Times, was an innocuously titled article "Graves with No Names". Http:/ www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory 420289.html). It reported on abortion statistics in Singapore - an astounding 30 abortions a day, 12,222 abortions in 2007. This almost beggars belief, and reading the story made my heart ache so for the little ones who were never given a chance to come into being. One day, I thought to myself, her past will catch up with her.

Ramblings: February 2010

Friday, February 19, 2010. Each a face and a name among the multitudes. Traveling along the PIE this afternoon in a cab I suddenly had a morbid turn of mind. It happens a lot these days, Elroy would tell you. I thought, in the event of a horrific car accident - don't ask me why I always think of this when riding in a cab - how would bystanders act upon seeing my horribly wrangled body? What about the thousands who perished in the World Trade Centre September 11 attacks? No scrolling down the phonebook is...

Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Thanks to all our dear friends for the gifts and well-wishes! Hard to believe that in a week's time, our second bundle of joy will turn a full month old. This mommy is feeling well-rested and rejuvenated, having been pampered in the last three weeks with post-natal massage, jamu wrap and yummy confinement food. Meantime, the brothers have been bonding a little bit. Gor gor D has shown some regression, throwing some baby-ish tantrums and such, but so far so good. Blog entry ...

Ramblings: What is Your Nest Egg Wish?
http://brainjuice-ramblingsofanewmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-is-your-nest-egg-wish.html
Thursday, November 18, 2010. What is Your Nest Egg Wish? Finally I find myself awake at this late hour, actually up to the task of writing an update on this long inactive blog. What woke me from this super long "blog slumber" was an email from CPF InTouch. Inviting CPF members to contribute their retirement wish in return for a chance at winning an ipad. Here's what I wrote:. I wish for a retirement busy with activities that would make me happy. Right now, that would mean the following:. Drop us a note!

Ramblings: June 2009
http://brainjuice-ramblingsofanewmom.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. Little D has been a happy chappy since Daddy came home a week ago. Now, I see for myself how important his Daddy is to him, though he expressedly doesn't show it much when the father is around. He sleeps more soundly at night now, and though he still wakes up at 5am calling "mommy, mommy" the night terrors are gone, thank God! And even though the father claims to be squirmish about father-son intimacy ("Boys don't kiss their daddies! Waiting for Daddy at the airport arrival hall.

Monday, November 30, 2009. Today, little G officially turns 3 months old. Brought him to KK for a hearing check, and everything is A-OK. I couldn't resist asking the nurse to take his measurements. Little G is growing well -. At 75kg and 62cm long. At the close of November, as Americans tuck into their thanksgiving turkey, here in Singapore I'm finding so many things to be thankful for. The Performer and the Spectator - which is which? Jacob Ballas Children's Garden. Jacob Ballas Children's Garden - so n...

Ramblings: March 2011
http://brainjuice-ramblingsofanewmom.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. A friend shared recently her notes from a session at church. The topic was on how to find time, and the sharing was given by Dr Tan Soo Inn. As I find myself entering the second quarter of the year and feeling somewhat unprepared for it, I gave the notes a long hard look to see where the pointers applied to me. And there were a few. 2) Recognising our Roles. List the roles you have and then allocate time to each of them. How much time are you spending on each of these roles?

Ramblings: December 2009
http://brainjuice-ramblingsofanewmom.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 28, 2009. A Look Back on 2009. We've reached the close of another year. And what a year 2009 has been. To echo how another friend had described his year, this year has been a game of two halves. One half was played in a little town 160km east of Melbourne city, Australia. And the other half played out here at home, in Singapore. They did a double-take, and laughed and told little D to prepare to be a good big brother. This was a day that we won't soon forget. The severity and the casualt...

Thursday, March 25, 2010. It's been 20 years. The year was 1990. A bunch of lively twelve-year-old tweens from class 6C at Henry Park Primary School. Form teacher was Mrs Anna Tan. It's been twenty years. In one week's time, I'll be seeing some faces I've not seen in twenty years, I kid you not. An old classmate has rounded up some of us on facebook and is organizing a class reunion. I've not been to one of these for a long time. Twenty years is a record. A little anxious, and excited at the same time.
