Bali in July 2014

So we were in Bali for a friend's wedding back in July. It was by far the most lavish wedding I have ever been to. And because it was a mixed Indian-Chinese wedding, we had a lot of fun dressing up. I had 3 changes of dress for the 2-day event, and the bride had... *drum roll* a total of more than 10 changes of dress!! 

Here is one of me in my matronly looking punjabi dress. 

The other gals in better looking punjabi-inspired dresses.

Wefie!


No Indian wedding would be complete without a Bollywood dance


The boys decided to end the night by jumping into the pool, very mature boys! 



It was a fun and quick get away. Hoping to bring Chloe along somewhere for a holiday, but not sure if it will happen this year as it's nearing year end. Hubby suggested that Chloe and I meet him in Hong Kong for a work trip. But the thought of bringing a baby on board economy class alone is too daunting! Well, let's see.  I might just do it :)

It's September Already?

Time really flies when you're having fun, or when you have a baby! I can't believe my last post was written back in May. Well a lot has happened since then. I went back to work in June, and it was stressful initially but I think I am getting the hang of juggling baby duty + work now. We also made a trip to Bali for a wedding, just me and Calvin without Chloe. That was the first time I was away from Chloe for more than 24 hours! What a big milestone for me. A special thank to my sweet mom-in-law who offered to baby sit her for the weekend. 

Then baby Chloe fell really sick on my birthday and ended up getting hospitalised, which was really scary. But thank God she recovered eventually. However my little baby who could sleep through the night decided she didn't want to anymore, and we had a rough couple of weeks waking up every hour or so tending to our little monster. We were so exhausted and desperate, we ended up hiring a sleep consultant. 

Fast forward to today, it's our 2nd day of sleeping training our little angel/monster and so far so good. I shall not say anything more in case I jinx it, but will definitely post about it in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.


I love you sweet little munchkin even though you are a monster at night!
