Nikita's First Piano Exam

After two years of learning piano, Nikita finally was ready to take the formal ABRSM exam and advance to Grade 2.

It was a sunny Friday as we drove her to the venue which was the Hilton PJ, and the girl was excited, we told her in brief what to expect and to perform for the examiner.

As we were early, we waited about 40 minutes before it was Niki's turn, the usher came in to call her name and off my daughter went for her exam, Mummy was feeling more nervous than she was and was pacing up and down the corridor, the exam will take only 10 minutes, from down the hall I could hear her going through the motions ie. scales, broken chords, aural exam, before playing the designated 3 pieces. And then, it was over.

Niki ran down the corridor with a triumphant smile, and I knew she had aced it. I couldn't be more proud of her. For now we will await for the formal results to be out in late August.

Another milestone for my Nikita.

Week 23

I'm currently in week 23, and due to my age (ahem!) I have had my triple screen blood test done plus another one other test, and hence because of that my doctor has advised me to take it easy and hubby told me to sit in one place before he left home just now.


And because I'm such a lazy arse I shall do as told!


My all day sickness abated when I was about 3.5 months in, and was down to 49kgs and I have now gained back my pre-pregnancy weight and then some, I haven't had any cravings which means I can't throw a hissy fit when I don't get what I want.


Baby is now kicking up a storm inside and I am so excited everytime baby does that.

I Have News!

Just noticed the last time I posted was in October 2011, goodness gracious!

Anyways, I have news ---- our family will be welcoming another new addition, yes, I am expecting and am now in my 11th week. And the early weeks has been far from fun as I had the worst ever all day sickness, I have successfully lost 5kgs during this time and apparently am at my preferred BMI weight!

But anyhow to not overshadow the good news with my new Marie France bodyline -- here it is again -- We are expecting!! Woohoo!

Life can be unexpected that way but it's a wonderful surprise and we get to be new baby parents once more -- so exciting!

Nikita is going on 8 this year and my God, how time has flown by, she's grown into the most beautiful young lady both inside and out and we are just so proud of her :)

Well -- I'm gonna start up my blog again and there may be belly shots coming at you soon -- so wait for it :)
