Annette's WONDERFUL Playground

It's been a long time since Mr Wonderful and I have a date. Glad to spend some private time together for dinner without Baby Joy! It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work.  When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a  Japanese Restaurant.   There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables. There were a lot of table services such as tossing salad and cooking Sukiyaki by the table side.   My welcome drink   Quite nice, a little minty. The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make ...

If you have went through this, you will know how I feel.... Career switch at age 35 seems like a risk... I have been in the restaurant line for the longest time already, and I spend the last 11 years in my previous company working hard to achieve who I am today. And poof, it's all gone now!!! What is the reason for this career switch and why? It is all because I AM A MOTHER! For the past year, I realize that I am always tired, I got no time to see my baby at all! She's still sleeping when I go to work, and she would have already fall asleep when I reach home! On my rest day, all I wanted is to sleep as I am so tired. I've grown fatter than before, putting on so much weight, I could only hear my parents telling me Baby Joy starts to crawl, she's calling 'Ah Ma', but I never get to see all her first time! I thought to myself, it's time to change! I need to be there for my girl, be part of her childhood, be there whenever she needs me! And the next thing I know...

Baby Joy was born on 12th Dec 2015. The day I've been waiting for so long. I was crying buckets as my epidural wear off as I was trying to push. I got a fever during my labour and as soon as Baby Joy was born, we did not have any body contact (I was looking forward to actually) as she was brought under observation to monintor her body temperature.  It was like about 20 mins or so (I couldn't remember as I was crying due to the pain) later, the nurse brought baby Joy to me and I finally see her for the first time!!    She's a sweet baby...  As it was an assist birth, hence the bruise on her face, Dr told me that it will subside after a week. We went home on the 3rd day and started on my confinement with my mum helping me!! Ok, let's cut short on the confinement part as it was the usual things that we did! However, with my mum's approval, I got to wash my hair once every 3 days... And another thing that I missed during confinement was 'No need to do household chor...
