Dear Ailing. That´s Amazing. I have no idea how you do that! I think its great that you wrote down your whole schedule. That explains why you´re so tired! How about going to sleep earlier? Like 10pm? or like 11pm? Thanks for the talk. Would wanna talk to you again! When would it be good to call you?

Hello Ailing jiejie, amazing how ur day sounds so fun… heh.. everytime my sister asks whether you’re working cos she has ALOT of old suits (do you know anyone around your size who is working cos my sister has alot of nice hardly worn suits to give away) and then i tell her to not give them to you cos you’re a full time mom.. she gets super envious.. heh. anyway…. i’m talking to dan online… he’s asking whether u know do you know Christina Ong, her brother’s Bertrand and the sister’s Debra? and do you have Mark and Anton Ngui’s email or number cos he lost it……

hey pris… actually after i wrote it out, it really doesn’t sound so bad coz sophie’s not walking yet and she’s quite ok playing on her own. I think it’s coz the past few weeks since coming back from aus sophie’s more whiny settling back and teething so it’s quite exhausting. I think her tooth is almost out so she’s getting a bit better… Can can call me… actually can call me after 7pm s’p time but you have class right?
hey daph… hahah… actually a good person to give the suits to will be renita coz renita can wear my size and she’s starting work soon! Yah it’s quite a luxury to be stay home

Hey, you shud try to consolidate Sophie’s nap time so tht she can have a longer sleep n allow you to take a longer rest or get more things done. Another suggestion is to prepare both your lunch n dinner together. I mean make something at lunch tht can be either heated up for dinner or modified for another meal. I find tht cooking 2 meals a day is a real challenge even now with my girls older. Can help you brainstorm on ideas tht may work for you when I come back.

Hi Nyet… I’m not quite sure how to start consolidating her nap time. Yep yep will be great if you can help me out here…
