Hello there!

Back again! Almost one month after my last entry! So many things to blog about and my head is in a mess now. Every time when I sit around the house, I have inspiration of things to blog about but once I sit in front of the laptop, my mind goes blank! Talk about writer's block...

It's almost CNY! Yay! But some times I really dislike CNY. I have a mix of happy and unhappy moments and I refused to blog about the unhappy moments. I don't want to think about it and keep reminding myself of the nasty things I went through. These are not worth my time and I believe that God will restore what was lost and I will be blessed will multi-folds.

2009 First day of CNY was the day dear hub and I started dating! :D Heehee! So more good and precious memories to come!!

So... well if any human is reading this almost abandoned blog, my very first entry talks about my I.M.A.G.E. family. It simply means Daddy Ivan, Mommy MJ, Big Bro Aden, Bro Gibson and praying sincerely for Little Sister E. It's a combination of our initial. On top of that, after the birth of Aden, unfortunately, I had a miscarriage.

That first miscarriage, I didn't see it coming at all. I mean, of course who would have wanted such thing to happen. I had a perfect, almost 40 weeks pregnancy with Aden. I was young (24 then) and I was feeling healthy! It was devastating and a very painful experience. The week when I was at the gynae's clinic doing the ultrasound scan, when all was still well (the heart was still beating strong), I remembered hearing my gynae said that I have to be very careful before the 1st trimester ended. That was my second pregnancy and I should be pretty pro at what to lookout for. Yet, her sentence left a deep impression in me over the next three week and I was feeling rather uncomfortable and at the same time I've had nightmares at night. During the next visit to the gynae's clinic, when the moment of truth hit me, I felt so guilty and I couldnt stop crying. It was like a part of me died. I felt as if I'm a failed mother because I didn't realized the fetus had died inside me. However, with much encouragement from my dear hub and mom, and of course I still have to do my part as a mother to care for Aden, I picked myself up and try again for another baby about a year later.

Then my BabyG came into the picture. Shortly after Gib turns 6 months, I found out that I was pregnant again. This pregnancy was filled with a mixture of happiness and worries as I was still caring for Gib and adapting myself to being a mother of 2...Just when I was trying to get the news settled in me, I started experiencing spotting and by the time I went to the gynae, the fetus heartbeat had stopped. By now, my faith in God grew and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Though I was sad, I knew that God never forsake me and I continued to trust Him. Furthermore, I have to be even stronger now that I have 2 boys to care for. Indeed, I was stronger.

Now I'm living each day with a grateful heart and praying that having had 2 wonderful pregnancies with 2 lovely boys, it is not too greedy to ask for a girl, right?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Chewies would like to wish everyone a very happy merry christmas!

Luke 1:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth." 

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JESUS, OUR LORD!

Just a quick update!

Bonjour!

It's my FAVORITE month of the year! YAYYYY!!

I was away last week in Hong Kong with my family and we had loads of fun! Though it was tiring bringing two kids to overseas, I really think that hub and I are good team mates! Overall, I think we managed the boys well, that's partly because the boys are pretty adaptable to new environments and also because we have very good family bonds. Kudos to darling hub for being an awesome father to the boys!!

The weather was awesome and the food was great! We almost wanted to extend for another few more days! Well, we didn't lar. Anyway, both hub and I are Gemini and we do have history of doing things impromptu-ly (if there's such a word). Like the last trip to Australia Perth was a sudden one for the family. We booked the air tickets and hotel the day before we flew! Friends and relatives were surprised and taken aback by us. Oh well, 2 Gemini, you're in for surprises!

Both of us always say that if we do not have kids in our lives, we would be flying here and there and everywhere every few months. Then again, I'm thankful for the gifts from God. They are truly our blessings!

Oh, just sorted out the pictures and I will be posting some in my next entry. Til then...

Love :)

Hi there!

I have finally created a blog for myself (again) and hopefully this time I will be faithful to this space and write type more, if possible, about motherhood, my boys, parenting style, food, travelogue and maybe some reviews about all kinds of products that I have been using AND... maybe my pregnancy journey for baby #3 in the near future! 

If you are reading this, you may be wondering why I.M.A.G.E.? Well, I shall keep you in suspense for now because I.M.A.G.E. holds a deep meaning to me and I shall dedicate a post for it, soon. 

As for now, just a little introduction about myself.

I'm a Singaporean in my twenties and a proud mother of 2 cheerful boys, Aden and Gibson. Aden is four, and Gibson is one year old.

I always dream of the days when both of them are grown up and have their gfs or family that I can tour around the world with my dear hubby. Then again, when I look at my one year old now, exploring and learning new things, walking and falls now clumsily, yearning for my hugs every day and learning to say "Mama", or when I look at Aden, though this is the stage of "horrible 4", I enjoy conversing with him and many times the things that he says amuses me, all these make me wish I could stop the clock forever because children are the cutest at these stages! Talk about life is an irony uh?

Anyway, don't expect perfect English from me, well, 'cos I am a Singaporean lar!

So watch this space! I will be back!

Bisous!
