Ever since being a mum, I've been waiting a lot. This 'wait' is not the 'just be patient and be busy with other things while you wait'. No this 'wait' is more similar to the times when you're stranded somewhere and have nothing you could do but to really WAIT.
Like right now... I'm typing this while I'm in the car just waiting for Hayley to take her nap. Oh but I'm being busy with blogging so that's not so bad 😅
Other times I've to wait for her to wake up, wait for her to fall asleep, wait for her sleep through one more cycle, wait for her to...

Midnight ponders
I'm generally a night person. So my brain goes on hyper mode at night. But when my body's prime time and brain's prime time do not sync, it feels a bit weird... now my brain is thinking about the strangest things and my body is just... bleh...

Goodnight Popo
I must admit that I never liked Popo when I was a kid. She's the opposite of what Datuk is: gentle, outwardly caring and forgiving.

A few of my favourite things
Instead of listing all
possible 1st world problems, I’d like to look to the positive and
list some 1st world advantages/good situations. If there come a time
when the dog bites, the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, and I have to sing
about my favourite things, I don’t think doorbells and sleighbells and
schnitzel with noodles will cut it.
So I thought of making my
own version that does not rhyme but may help with not feeling so bad – here...
