As we come to the year end ...

Boxing Day 2013

I should be blogging about Christmas Day but instead - a short picture update about Boxing Day BBQ (done from leftovers from the Christmas Day lunch BBQ).

Snags, prawns which I had marinated with mango and chili flakes and chicken drumsticks which I had marinated with a blended mix that consist of coconut, onions, curry powder, lemon grass and tamarind.

An easy peasy dinner!

Family & Love

I never really put much consideration to the concept of love before I had Super Z (LM). I mean, you know you love your family, but the concept of adult love is very different from the unconditional love of a lil person.

I am lucky enough to have a small but close knit family who love us. Both BF and I don't have any immediate family support here as all of our families still live overseas but this yr, BF's family is here to spend the Christmas holidays with Super Z and us so it's a rather pleasant change having family around.

This was also the reason why the decided to take the mini getaway to Sydney this weekend. BF's parents went ahead a few days before us to visit family while we went up for the weekend.

Exhausted, but nothing like family bonding.

Christmas Down Under

Oh boy! It's already Dec and I haven't blogged in months!

Time has just flown - wait - zoomed by this year. I feel like I have been on a whirlwind of a ride and with no brakes.

Today it the last day of work - with the 2 week shutdown for the year end. The in-laws have flown in for Christmas to meet lil Z so this weekend we are in Sydney for a mini getaway as a family.

It is actually rather pleasant - Melbourne has been having a cold spell except for yday and there is a different vibe here - more hustle and bustle. I'm not too bothered tho - just being away is nice - esp when it is not work related.

Was walking around Darling Harbour as saw this cute installation of Santa's - and it is a nice contrast with the city scape behind.

Hopefully more updates to come!

My life in Pictures

Ah ... How life has changed.
Doing my hair at 1 am because it is the only time I have some 'me time' while the lil man and BF are asleep. Plus I do have to look presentable for work.

Between full time work and home, I find that I just do not have the time or the energy most times to do anything else!! Have been slacking off on the friends part as well. At this rate, I might not have any friends left at the end of this.

**Milestone** Being Sick

LM has meet his Kryptonite for the first time. Kept on waking up every hour by the hour and finally at around 630am couldn't settle. His temp was high so had to give him elixir  to make him get better. 

He threw up on me first time but held it in the second time along and is feeling and looks better. 

There you go - his first illness a few days shy of 6 months.

Celebrating a milestone - Sleeping In!

For the first time in nearly 6 months of the lil man's life - he has given his mum and dad a little lie in.

Bed time at 9pm
Woke up at 520am for a change and feed!

He usually wakes up twice a night for a feed at around midnight and 3am so it was a very pleasant surprise indeed only waking up at 5am.
