Marks of Love

I know my stretch marks that i started getting as soon as i hit 8 months pregnant, which has lasted me till now, always seemed to bug me. They're not as dark and as yucky looking as they were at the beginning. They're stating to fade to white but i can still see them. I felt so insecure about them for such a long time. Plus modeling before also meant that going back to modeling now, i had something to cover up, something to hide.

But then i came across this picture and i have to say, it made me feel better. Made me proud to carry these marks. It was all worth it, every line, every scar, every ounce of pain i felt. I would do it again. A million times in fact. Because what i had in return, is such a beautiful little angel. I still tear up when i think about Kiara. She's been so amazing. She's changed my life, thought me patience and thought me to love to a whole new level.

So here's to you, all you Mothers. Don't feel ashamed of them anymore. Wear them proudly. I know i am. :)

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

New Paper New Face 2011

Hey! Today, i bring you news about this year's New Face competition! :) For those of you who don't live here in Singapore, the New Face competition is one of the biggest modeling competitions held here. It had unearthed beauties from all walks of life and many of whom has made quite a name for themselves in the industry. It has helped so many girls shine and achieve their goals, and i am glad to say, i made it to Top 20 last year and have graduated to the very prestigious alumni of New Face girls. :) Every year since i joined the modeling industry, i entered a competition, to better myself and gain confidence. I remember i started off with Singtel Grid Girls back in 2008 and not having much confidence at all. But the New Face competition was something i had wanted to join since the age of 15. It took me another 2 years, to build up that confidence to go to the walk-in auditions and i am glad i did. (Spot me if you can!) It has been such an amazing experience for me, i learned s...

Finishing Touches

Hey! 2 weeks ago, i went for my first Baby Fair. Sadly, i only found out about it on the last day and rushed down to check it out just as they were packing up. I quickly rushed through the place and managed to get some necessities which i felt were the most important, BABY BOTTLES. Have you seen how ridiculous they are priced? I always thought that baby bottles were relatively cheap, but was shocked to find that a small bottle from NUK cost about $15. That's heaps in my opinion. (Maybe that is why we have a deteriorating amount of people who want to have kids here in Singapore. We're over-worked, underpaid, and baby stuff just does not come cheap) I was told that bottle sterilizers work best with their own brand of bottles. So since i received the Pigeon Sterilizer from my power couple friend, Sha and Burrell, during my shower, i tried hunting down Pigeon bottles as well. Couldn't find any, there was the ever popular Avent, 'Jolly Something' and NUK. There were some...
