I was so excited when I woke up this morning, knowing that I would be going for a quick visit with Samudra to meet with my dear friend Deasy and her new baby boy Prada Bintang Amaru. I am so happy that we are experiencing parenthood at the same time after loads of fun adventures […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 15
I was awake so early yet again and instead of attempting to go back to sleep, I thought I’d make the most of the morning sunshine and take Samudra for a walk around the complex again. So many people stopped us to say hello and ask where we had come from and where were we […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 14
This morning I was woken with tiny feet kicking into my face and squeals of delight as Samudra played with his toys between his mumma and bapak.

100 Days of Happiness – Day 9
Another post, another day late, but this is the life of a newbie mum so it seems! Time got hijacked once again yesterday, but in a good way. I decided to skip taking Samudra to the BWA Playgroup in favour of a sleep in, A SLEEP IN? what on earth was I actually thinking? I […] Read more »
