Am looking out for great ideas/suggestions on how to improve my baby business. I hope to increase my sales revenue via other means eg: non-frens.
Not that I don’t appreciate my frens. I do and I would like to thank all of them for supporting me.
But, to breakthrough to a market where I am not known is my challenge.
So, if you have any, please email/text me, please.
People often say: Like Daddy, like son? Errr.. is this singlish or what. Hur Hur.. *wink*
Err.. well I am sure you know what it means la, Singaporean. So, I shall go straight to the point now.
Been baking cakes over the past few weeks and my baby is always present to give a helping hand. “Isha help mama! Isha help mama!”
She has been observing intensely at her mummy nipping, tucking, snipping, tying, pasting – how her mum has her frantic moments, how both mummy and aunty has their moments where the ribbons refuse to curl the way it should.. aiyah in short simply “bad moments”.
And to my SURPRISE today – she made her very 1st diaper cake!!! All on her own, without our help (hmm, okay minus the rolling of the diapers only). I was super busy working on our safari order that I didnt notice her silently working on hers.
This is what she has achieved – I am so so proud of her.
a) She tucked the rolled diapers nicely around a rubber band
b) Decided to replace our usual baby powder with the shower gel
c) Decorate using bath toys
d) Oh, finished off with ribbons and embellishments.
Voila!!! I present to you:
“Naked” diapers with Extra Sweet toppings
Nipped & Tucked with Love (and a bit of saliva)
by Alyssa Azim
Price: PRICELESS
Aly has been playing big sister to an imaginary baby.
Yes, her little sibling.
However, she has refused to tell me the gender of her little imaginary sibling.
She will carry the baby carefully, pat him/her to sleep, put him/her on the bed and snug beside the little one, giggling and sharing sweet nothings to her sibling.
It’s an awesome feeling, really. I think she yearns for a new addition in our family, making her the big sister.
Wait, ok my little darling. Just a little while more. 
Wats Up, Babyyyy! Hee.
Husband and wife had a good chat over late dinner/supper at Royals cafe last nite. Came to realisation that we are both at these crossroads in our life. I have made my decision and ain’t gonna look back. For him, there are many things on his mind which I cant disclose much here.
Well, dearest hubby – I will always be here for you, no matter what.
Anyway, I have been rather reserved over this entire episode. Perhaps, subconsciously, I didn’t want to keep any of this in my memory. I have in a way or other, chose not to share this in details with my good fren for many years.
Not that I don’t trust you – just that I don’t think you will understand, my dear fren. It’s something that you have to be in the picture to really feel it. And, unfortunately, I believe you can’t for this once and I would not be able to take another “professional, model, safe” answer. I simply can’t.
My heart is heavy now as I look into the future.
It’s a different world out there.
Can I survive?
This remains unanswered for now but I will be positive and strive further.
What’s my chances?
High or Low?
My heart is so restless – although I felt the fluttery ‘positive’ feeling; the same feeling when I step out level 6 NOL building many years ago. It’s this indescribable comfy feeling.
But still the mind is playing tricks on me.
I have to stay positive – it’s a battle inside me, really.
Oh God, please make my wish come true. I need it badly.
Snitched this from my sis’s blog. Thanks, nana!
This was the cause of my splitting headache. Received an order through the internet for a baby boy sports theme with a budget of whopping $160. How can we resist it, rite.
So, the little rascals duo accepted the job on Wednesday although we knew it will be roller coaster cos delivery is on Sat. We have an order but no ingredients and customer requested for sports theme with blue color concept. Even more challenging than the Amazing Race – race to ensure the cake is baked to perfection and delivered today!
Wed n Thurs lunch hour – No luck.
Thurs evening – No luck
Friday evening – Die die we have to have the ingredients. Imagine our frantic search for the items. Our rush to Marina Square/ Suntec city / Parkway within 3 hrs.
Had late dinner at 12midnite. Yes, dinner not supper.
Then we started working. Perhaps, we were both brain dead after the mad rush shopping that we were losing “steam” – ideas didnt flow as natural as before.
Timecheck 3am – Finally we got it!
Timecheck – 4.30am – We completed the cake, took photos and I created the tag. Errr.. while editing, I fell asleep. Dont ask me how I managed to get through this.
Timecheck – 5am – Done! Got Nisa (not Aly, hor) to bed while I uploaded the pixs to flicker. Hee
Timecheck – 6am – Went to bed, finally!
Timecheck – 7.30am – Woke up, did housework (sweep, laundry, showered the little one, bugged the husband to shower cos we have another deadline – DELIVER the cake by 11 am.
Timecheck – 11.10am – Delivered to One Rochester. Awwwwww.. the decor is fabulous and to die for. Blue and white concept for 1st month party.
Anyway, see how and what this “cake” has done to me. Was it worth it? Definitely, I tell you. It was worth every seconds of my time and every penny.
I must remain positive – that’s what i told myself today.
You can do it – be prepared and have more confidence in yourself, please.
Where’s the power of positive thinking? Better go hunt the book again.
By the way – this book “The Magic Of Believing” by Claude M Bristol was recommended by a very good fren and I practiced the pointers while I was pregnant with Aly. It works miraculously
Every now and then – I will utter: My baby will be born healthy and intelligent. She will be fair & patient like her daddy and smart and pretty like mummy. mwhahahaha.
So, look at Aly today. It works alright. :P
