Cheaters Never Win

Or rather, cheaters only win when they don't get caught! Haha. Third day on the 7-day diet and it seems that I am having a harder time sticking to it. My boss unexpectedly called me around 12NN today, asking if I could report to the office ASAP. He was still sick and only went to the office to finish submitting my papers. How cool is he? ;P I reached there around 1:30PM, signed some documents and went straight to PSA Tanjong Pagar. That's where 'S' Passes are processed. According to my boss, it is quite a walk from the MRT station so I thought it would be best if I took a cab instead. It only costed me S$5.20 from our building at Raffles Place. The processing was fast! All I had to do was get a number and wait for the counter to call me. The lady that handled my papers was nice, thorough and quick. After categorizing everything, she told me to go to the thumbprint area to have mine scanned then that's it! I CAN NOW OFFICIALLY WORK IN SINGAPORE!! Yahoo! :)

ANYWAY, back to my main point, I cheated on my diet today! Huhu. After processing my papers, I went to Orchard as usual to get my dose of book-reading from Borders. Since I only had an orange and some grapes before I left the house, I was a bit hungry already. I went to Food Opera in ION and tried looking for a vegetable dish that I could eat. Unfortunately, the veggies there are even more expensive than the meat dishes so I decided to eat Beef Noodles instead. It was delicious to say the least. Too bad I didn't think of taking a picture of it. The beef was really fresh and the 'gravy', as they call it, was wonderful! I also had an egg and cheese prata for dinner, and frozen yogurt with granola. Yeah yeah, total cheat day! Argh. I promise I'd do better tomorrow! Haha.

Ciao!

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH. Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan My s

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready. When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby gi
