Tiananmen.
“Tiananmen Square is the large plaza near the centre of Beijing, China, named after the Tiananmen (literally, Gate of Heavenly Peace) which sits to its north, separating it from the Forbidden City. It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several key events in Chinese history, among which a gathering of pro-democracy protesters in 1989. The protest ended when hundreds of these protesters were killed by government troops in the streets leading from the square.”

We met Mr Mao and his wannabe at Tiananmen.
Standing in Glory.
Security is tight over here!
I love the misty effect.

Thank you @chia.jingwei for attending and bringing along our baby girl for our company team’s Lou Hei session yesterday. It was a hectic day where we started off in the morning with Lou Hei before bringing our baby girl for her swimming class. Thereafter we visited our friend’s place for CNY gathering before heading home for our weekly family gathering. All these cannot be achieved without my hubby’s help!

When I thanked him for the day, my hubby said this, “It’s ok, because we are a team. Together we can achieve more.” Awwwww ... isn’t that the sweetest. When I asked him to come out with a team name for us , he said our team name is “MMBPP Team” ... which means “Ma Ma Bullies Pa Pa” team. In that moment, all the romantic and heartwarming feeling felt earlier disappeared within seconds. •

Baby Avery received a “MyShroom Maple Wood Teether” from @hellohappyhero to try and she took it on readily. The Silicone beads allowed her to train her grip while trying to chew on the teether! Each teether also comes in a drawstring bag and a packet of Cloversoft Organic Petite Wipes! The wipes came in really handy when she drops the teether when we are outside.

Our girl turns 4 months today and is weighing a modest 5.8kg! At times she talks non stop as though she is debating on a serious topic, otherwise she will be giving us her trademark death stare which earns her nickname of an “angry burrito”. .

She is extremely happy every morning and it is heartbreaking whenever her beautiful smile turns into a pout and her big bright eyes well up in tears. May our little one grow up strong and healthy and be bless with lots of love and laughter! .

My hubby and I first met in 2005 at the entrance interview to Singapore Management University (SMU) and at that time he left such a lasting impression on me! We chatted before our interview and we clicked immediately. He was a great looker and a gentlemen (still is) who offered me a ride down the hill from the old Bukit Timah campus after our interview! At that time, I stalked him on Friendstar (yes we are old folks) and realised that he was attached. He then went on to SMU and I went to National University of Singapore (NUS). .
•
Fast forward 4 years later in 2009, we met again at a job interview and took on the job at the same company! I had that nudging feeling that he was the same guy back in 2005 and asked if he remembered giving a girl a ride on that day! He too remembered that incident and shared that he borrowed his Dad’s car that day! However we didn’t immediately get together then as we were attached to someone else and it was only in 2012 when we got together and got married in 2017! .
•
So technically we first met 14 years ago!! It is amazing how fate brought us together and we often shared that if we were to get together as a couple back in 2005, we may not be married now. As we are quite different person then and now. We believed that failed relationships in the past mold us into who we are today and we learn to cherish each other a lot more. Though we may not be the perfect couple with our daily frustrations as new parents, we always end each day with a kiss and start each day afresh! To all new parents out there, hang in there and let us hold on to what matters most! #lloydsinnvalentine @lloydsinn .

The many adventurous moments we shared as a couple ranges from tree climbing in Western Australia, paragliding in Taiwan, horse back riding and white water rafting in the Himachal Pradesh region in India, to conquering Mount Batur in Bali! However the most adventurous moment has got to be the day he proposed to me during our Bali trip. It is the day where we both took the leap of faith to say yes to be each other’s forever travel buddy where we will be conquering the many life adventures ahead.

The stay at @theoutposthotel will be an amazing getaway for our family as we don’t have to travel too far to spend quality family time together while enjoying the various adventurous activities in our very own sunny island Sentosa! .

Our baby girl is the happiest when she is at home - her safe sanctuary.
.
Friends and relatives who have met @averychiagirl know that our baby girl doesn’t quite like strangers and only allows selected people to hold her. She started to develop this separation anxiety when she is close to 3 months old after we started sending her to the nanny. Perhaps her smart little brain realised that there is a chance we can leave her for extended period of time. Whenever I’m not within her line of vision, she starts to whine and complain and if I don’t appear within the next few minutes, she will start screaming. .
.
Now, can you imagine what happens during all the CNY visits? Half the time she is with me as I try to calm her down, the rest of the time she is with our brave friends and relatives who wishes to challenge themselves.
.
To all the Mamas and Papas out there dealing with overstimulated babies during this CNY period, hang in there! .

As first time parents, we were really unprepared when our baby girl fell ill. She had runny nose last night and when she fell asleep at 9:30pm, we were jumping for joy. But that was the calm before the storm. 10 minutes later, our girl was screaming and wailing non stop till almost 11pm. .
.
We didn’t have any form of medicines to prepare for this, not even the common Vicks oilment for baby. At 11pm, all the pharmacies were closed but thankfully, we know of a Unity pharmacy within a Fairprice store which operates 24 hours. Papa then drove all the way to Fairprice Xtra at Ang Mo Kio and bought some over the counter medications which were not commonly available in a regular supermarket. By the time Papa got home, Avery fell asleep but woke up at 2:30am wailing. After applying Sterimar and attempting to suck out the mucus using a nasal aspirator, Avery stopped wailing but continued sniffling and complaining till 6:30am. Our hearts broke several times last night.
.
To all first time parents, lesson learnt, do stock up on these because you really don’t know when you will need it. And if you do need it but didn’t know where to find them in the middle of the night, there is always 24 hours Fairprice with Unity stores in them.
.
My girl is still sniffling and having slight cough. May my little red nose deer sleep peacefully and get well soon! .

Second Day of CNY see us staying at home for most of the day. Baby @averychiagirl is not very good at nap and Mama and Papa are also not very good at putting her to sleep. In the end, when her 姨姨 @yirene_tan and 姨丈 @kohhongyi visit, we got a grumpy baby. Smiley baby is too conventional, how about a grumpy baby?
.
On a side note, we tried @mdmlingbakery ‘s Butter Cookies and Cheese Bangkit, and it is absolutely yummy! The butter cookie is fragrant and melts in your mouth. The cheese bangkit unlike traditional ones is very crunchy and has that nice cheesy flavour! Will recommend and order again next year! #ldacny19 .
