My kind of jungle

soph — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:28:11 +0000

The sisters and I took Kaylin to Jungle Gym at Bangsar Shopping Centre the other day. It was Kaylin’s third time, my sisters’ first. Kaylin was pretty excited to hear she was going – I’d never seen her come down the stairs so fast before – but once we were inside, I have to say, [...]

Project 365 – Here we go!

Project 365 is probably one of the most ambitious things I’m going to attempt this year. To actually remember to take a photo every single day of the year is not as easy as it sounds. It’s only been 12 days and I’ve already found myself taking last minute photos at 11.30pm, or yes, taking [...]

A little bit of awesomeness to start the still-new year. Taken from here.

New eyes

Nobody ever told me that in addition to diapers and formula and clothes and toys, I would also be forking out hundreds of ringgit to replace my glasses because Kaylin can twist and turn them into shapes I never thought possible. Like she has superhuman strength or something. The upside to that is, I [...]

Growing up fast

This is Kaylin, putting on lip balm while on Skype with grandpa because she wants to show him what she’s learned to do. I think the little princess is growing up far too quickly, but I must say I’m starting to enjoy dressing her up.

Honestly, when she was born, I had no idea [...]

2012 is going to be an adventure

I was determined not to count down last night. I put on Modern Family (love that show!) and disappeared into it, pointedly ignoring the clock, planning to emerge on the other side. I forgot about the fireworks. At the stroke of midnight, bangs and double booms and pops began and went on for a good [...]

Looking forward: 30, here I come!

With just one day to go before the New Year, I’m excited. The last 12 months have passed by far too quickly, but I think I’ve made the most of them. I don’t remember ever being bored, I love what I’m doing, and I am looking forward to what 2012 will bring. There have been [...]

Never say never, but…

Some time ago, I wrote about how I was (and still am) on this quest to figure out what my dreams are and what I want. It was liberating and exciting, and it’s something I’m glad I did. That said, I’m now learning that maybe not all my dreams are achievable, and that’s okay.

Flying solo

soph — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:54:14 +0000

Last year, I did one of the scariest things I’d done so far with Kaylin – Y and I took her on an eight-hour flight to Melbourne. She cried a couple of times on the way there, and more than a few times on the way back, but we survived. And nobody shot us dirty [...]

Making an effort

soph — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 02:43:38 +0000

This is Kaylin at her first kids’ pool party. It’s her second time in a swimming pool, not that she did any swimming at all. In fact, as you can tell, her hair is completely dry. She never went deeper than knee-high water, and she couldn’t be bothered trying.

This photo was taken on [...]
