We are in Mumbai, India!

Hi everyone,

Its been 5 years since I blogged. In these five years, I was pretty swamped with multiple events in my life.

My precious second child was born in 2015 and this time it is a boy :) I was busy in understanding and adjusting myself to be a mother of two. Everything seems to be more difficult. From getting my baby to sleep (I had sleep trained him at 4 months old instead of 6 months which I did for my girl. I will share more about this in another post), to getting him to crawl and roll and to get him to eat. Oh yes, he started only rolling and crawling at the very late 6-7 months old. You can imagine how anxious I am. We ended up signing him up on a program to get him moving.

He is pretty a fussy eater and so I have to think of different tactics and even stories to get him eating things like vegetables. You will love him if you see him. He is a bundle of joy. My kids love hugs. You will get one if you see them. :)


Our bundles of joy.

In 2017, my younger brother passed away. He suffered from an illnesses called Huntington disease and was bedridden for years. This picture was taken in 2012 where he was still able to walk on his own. He is a warrior and he is one of my closest, even closer than my mum. I didn't choose to share much about this condition in my posts because it hurts to even share in my posts. Huntington disease is a rare genetic condition which on the surface looks like Parkinson disease. I might share more about this in other upcoming posts.

My family. My beloved brother.

When I was back from my one year maternity leave, I worked hard and devoted myself to work. I was busy managing my family and my brother and thus I did not have the energy or maybe the "mood" to do any blogging. During that three years, I revamped one of the marketing module into full Flipped classroom and team-based learning concept and received praises from students and colleagues. In the process, I won different awards including a teaching award from Singapore Polytechnic. Oh mine, I was really super proud of myself. :)

My teaching awards. Different categories.


My next adventure begins in Mumbai, India. My family relocated here since late November 2018 due to husband's posting. Sadly, I left my work place which I had been working there for 8 years. However, I'm glad I made that decision. Nothing beats together staying as a family. After trying to settle down for almost a year, I decided to start blogging again. Stayed tune for more updates :)

Starting a new chapter in Mumbai.
