Are you our baby Eva?

On Friday, 21st July 2017, at 1:54pm, I got a text from our agent regarding a one-week old infant girl in Medan.  She was born on Saturday, 15th July 2017, at 8:35am weighing 3.0kg.

I glanced at the photos of the baby girl.  After numerous photos of babies, I was initially ambivalent. I tried looking at them logically without emotion. But really, there's no way you could look at this baby and not feel anything. In other words, she's precious.  She may be our baby girl.  OMG.

We made plans to see her in Medan on Monday, 31st July 2017.  The plane ride there was marred by a noisy aircraft but we got there safe and on time.  Then came the bumpy, long ride to the agent's house.  Traffic was atrocious as it was a weekday but we had a skillful driver and he got us to where we had to go although you really had to trust him and all the other motorists on the road...

Little baby girl was 2-weeks old when we saw her.  She's tiny. She yawned and fussed for milk.  I held her, she didn't cry.  Matt and I thought, she's the one, so we agreed to bring her to Singapore.

Now, she's in the care of the nanny in Medan.  We will see you again in a few weeks, little angel.   In the meantime, drink lots of milk, sleep a lot, stay healthy and grow strong!

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

Chewy's Gone

Sent my dog over to my in-laws' place last sunday and taught my mum-in-law how to shower her, brush her fur, brush her teeth, etc. Things that i have gotten used to doing for my little girl. Very heavy heartedly left her there. It's been a tough 2 days at home without her whining, innocent looks, and playful prancing. How i wish we could bring her there straight away! I will just have to live with her pictures in my phone for now.... As always, being realistic and level-headed, we decided to leave her here till we find suitable accomodation. I really hope she still recognises us when we next come back here. Or else, i will cry.
