This was from The Simple Woman’s Daybook in which I found via here.

Outside my Window: It’s past midnight where the sky is dark and the air is cool after an afternoon of rain.

I am Thinking: I should clear some space on the bed so I can actually sleep in it later…

I am Thankful For: Guan who will be home most of the time till the beginning of December πŸ™‚

From the Kitchen: A loaf of Gardenia wholemeal bread πŸ˜€

I am Learning: More about Zayden Asher each day πŸ™‚

I am Wearing: Canoe Polo Opens Championship 2008 tee and shorts.

I am Creating: A couple of birthday cards.

I am Going: To brush my teeth before hitting the sack. Or maybe eat some wholemeal bread before that πŸ˜†

I am Reading: Fullmetal Alchemist volumes 20 and 21. (The series is finally ending *sad*)

I am Hoping: That I can actually accomplish something later today.

I am Hearing: The MIL doing the laundry.

Around the House: Two words—very messy πŸ˜•

One of my Favourite Things: My (growing) collection of journaling cards πŸ˜€

A Few Plans for Next Week: Spending more time with Guan and Zayden and making a few layouts.

A Picture to Share:
Zayden

Zayden is communicating and responding even more compared to two weeks ago when he started cooing back when we talked to him. And, yesterday, he fell asleep on his own when we put him down for a nap. Yes, there were some attention crying every now and then. But after a while, he was finally quiet and still and fast asleep! Guan and I felt so proud of him πŸ˜€ …

… till he woke up crying around half an hour later. Nah, we’re still proud of him πŸ™‚

How time (somehow) flies.

Zayden Asher is now officially two months old! πŸ™‚ And he’s growing heavier and longer each day πŸ˜€ I must say though that there’s more growth in the first month compared to the second. Still, I can’t wait for the third month because my mother said that it should be easier taking care of him. I certainly hope so! πŸ˜†

Firstly, Happy 24th Birthday CJ! πŸ˜€ Now, aren’t you a proud business woman in the food industry before you hit 24? πŸ™‚

I’m going to blog about Saturday’s dinner. Guan and I headed to Bugis Junction with Zayden Asher to try out this new eatery called LENAS.

I found out about the soft launch of LENAS from an e-newsletter that MOF had sent me. Since they had a 1-for-1 pizza/pasta deal, why not give it a try? πŸ˜‰

The place was wooden—almost literally. The moment I stepped into the restaurant, what struck me was the smell of wood. The table was made of wood, the chairs were made of wood, even a push-trolley at the side was made of wood. And it wasn’t those furniture that has a smooth finish. It’s like, fresh-out-of-the-workshop-kind. I didn’t manage to take any photos of the restaurant but you can have a look here.

(Don’t mind the poor photos. It’s quite hard to get good light without using flash.)

Iced Mint and Lime Tea
Guan ordered their signature drink—Iced Mint and Lime Tea.

It’s not too bad. And since I was a member at MOF, we had Crisp Parmesan Fries.

Guan ordered a Pepperoni pizza while I had a Hawaiian. And… guess what? They served them on wooden boards!

The pizzas were pretty good. My pizza crust was a bit too burnt but it was still edible. Zayden made it rather hard for Guan to enjoy his meal though. He kept fussing and wanted to be carried and walked around. I had to cut his (Guan’s not Zayden’s) pizza into bite-size pieces and feed him while he had his hands full with Zayden.

Not one of my best shots but oh well πŸ™‚

Zayden was still fussing after dinner. So instead of putting him in the stroller, I had to carry him back to the car.

Zayden and me

Anyway, yesterday, we dinnered at Astons Specialties and we let Zayden have a go with the fork.

And… I’m not going back to Astons anymore because, nearby, Everything with Fries is much nicer πŸ˜‰

Over the weekend, we went over to the house of Guan’s relatives as everyone who has yet to meet Zayden Asher wanted to meet the cute little boy πŸ˜€

Aside from the red packets, Zayden was given a whole bunch of baby clothes from Carter’s by relatives who had just returned from the states. I shall post photos of the clothes once I find out where the mother-in-law has stashed them.

What I like about visiting this particular relative’s house is that there’s a whole drum set to play with πŸ˜†

I was already convinced that Zayden was a drummer since he kept me up in the wee hours of the morning when he was gestating inside my womb πŸ˜›

My little drummer boy πŸ™‚ Love!
