26 Sep: Elliot's first solid

I bought a sweet potato and it has been sitting in the kitchen untouched for 7 days 7 nights until yesterday, which seems like an auspicious day to start working on it.

Went through some recipes from Susanna's cookbook.
I baked the sweet potato in the oven, scraped out the flesh, mashed it with a fork and expressed some breast milk to thin it. And I get homemade puree!



Elliot: This better be good huh...
I'm very busy one ok, no time for nonsense


Elliot: Eeee...Weird weird de leh.


Elliot: I rather eat this spoon!


Elliot: Next time just tabao for me


Elliot: I don't like leh...
Nah, return to you.

P/S: Hmm, maybe I should introduce him brown rice first?

xiaohuamao de birthday (Part I)

Due to xiaohua's uncontrollable and excessive shedding of fur, she was locked away in a small room (which was supposed to be our walk-in closet!!!) for the benefit of Elliot. And as part of her birthday treat this year, she was let loose to roam the whole house for 5 minutes. Yeah she sure need that workout.

xiaohuamao de birthday (Part II)

Xiaohua is 3 years old and we lit up 3 candles for her.
(So sorry xiaohua, we ran out of birthday candles. Make do with these first ok!)


Xiaohua, you will always be part of our family :)
GW: xiaohuamao you are still as cute as ever


Xiaohua: Seriously, why is my birthday celebration getting suckier as the years go by?
This is so much worse than that doughnut last year.

Elliot goes for a skinny dip


GW warned me not to post this picture as it will put our son's reputation at stake.
I refuse to listen so now he is completely ruined in the hands of his mother. 我毁了他!
FATTY BUNNY!!!


Anyway, the neck ring float has finally arrived after almost one month.
Picked up some bath toys to accompany Elliot during his swim.


Now that Elliot is 4 months old, censorship measures are deemed necessary.


If you fail to censor, I will kiap my legs tight and frown at you!


Okay I'm going to swim to the other end with my 狗爬试
Try to catch up if you can.. BYE!

Time to pack away my summer dresses in boxes

I was out with Elliot yesterday in my short sleeves and as I was crossing the bridge towards town, I was hit by super strong winds that sent shivers and goosebumps all over. The kind which can move the clouds above at mad speed.

I looked around and saw people dressed in jackets, beanies and boots.
And it was then I realised, the hot days are over.

I'm so not looking forward to winter (I skipped autumn cuz in my opinion, it doesn't exist in Sweden) and I had this crazy idea of buying a pair of Dr Martens boots. I used to claim that they look like Ronald Mcdonald's boots and I would never ever want to own one in my life.

But now, I thought they look uber cool.
WAHHAAHHAHAHA!!! KILL ME NOW!
Really don't understand why I had this sudden liking to them now leh

When GW got home, he's very positive and even offers to get them as my early birthday gift.
I think I've gone to the wrong person for advice cuz it's totally biased since he's a huge fan and wears only Dr Martens.

Browsed through the web and immediately knew what I wanted - 1460 with 8 eyelets.
The 14 eyelets ones are nice too but I know my fat calves ain't gonna fit.

Couldn't decide on the colours.
I wanted cherry red or black (easier to match) but GW insists that purple is nicer and he says if wanna wear Dr Martens must buy those "teong" colours. So black is definitely out for him.
Which one should I buy???


In a nutshell: I'm someone who wears cheapo shoes, and my favourite are nua flipflops. I wear flipflops during winter too :)  So to me, these boots are on the expensive side so if I really own one, I will wear them til death even if it means mismatched outfits.
