What am I good at?
My hubby has many hobbies... He has a collection of kyosho cars, a porsche, a BMW and a off road Buggy. He can spend hours just cranking up the engines and getting them tuned for maximum performance.He also has miniture planes, ships and tanks which he so carefully paints...He's good with xbox games.Sweden got him so interested in snowboarding that he waits desperately for heavy snow and Sets off in the morning that weekend to get on his board! He is very passionate about cars, he knows about every part of the car. He's fascinating I tell you... In all, he's a speed demon and anything that can accelerate, he'll be on it!
I always tell him how he has so much he is good at and he always asks me what I like doing? What's the thing I'll like spending time on?
I always shrug my shoulders and say "I dunno"
I used to be into poetry but after a while I stopped composing.I used to be into pottery & painting. I did take it up as an ECA in school but stopped after that...
I used to love designing my own clothes namely suits and blouses and get mummy's friend to see it for me...So all that is what I used to but what do I want to do now? What makes me excited and wat can I feel satisfied doing? What am I passionate about?
Hmm I like cooking... I like cooking for my hubby,family & friends and hearing that the dish tasted good satisfies me!I like baking but I am not determined enough as in when I try something and it fails, I don't try that again. I go on with new recipes not wanting to find out why and what went wrong...I rediscovered my love for reading after I started on the twilight series.Romance and mystery is my cuppa tea!
I love snapping pictures of my baby boy.I love word games...So in the end what am I good at?Cooking? Baking? I know of so many people who are better than me so how can I consider myself good at anything at all?
What's in the name?
Names!!! I should be pretty stressed coming up with names and choosing one after deliberating with my other half and then finding something really wrong with it and deciding on another.
Luckily this time round I'm spared the predicament.
When I was due with Aaren, we came out with 2 names one for a male and one for a female just in case that penis we saw in the ultrasound was actually my umbilical cord. So we decided to be prepared ;) and that's paying off now...
Aditya Aaren Om is gonna probably have either Aditri Ariella Om/ Aarush Alvis Om as his sibling in a few months time!
Waddya'll think of these names? Once again it's a sanskrit name followed by a scandinivian name and the universal OM!
Aditri means- "Of the highest honour/ goddess laxhmi", Ariella means "the lioness of god"
Aarush means" First Ray of the sun" Alvis-"all-wise".
The sonographer said she's 80% certain that it's a girl but well there is still the 20% of uncertainity so we're playing it safe. Better be prepared for both scenarios ;)

The Longest Journey
As I lay awake in bed at night
Suffering from the lack of sleep
I think of thoughts
I never thought would otherwise exist
The longest journey of ones life
begins not when u are born
This journey i am talking about
starts the day your baby comes home
From the day you conceive
you harbour dreams
of a life your child will live
The dreams and plans begin that day
and last till you are through
your child is going to live the life
you'd have always wanted to
you change your life and plans you had
you think of the best you can do
all these things that you could have done before
but till now it never occured to you
Its funny how the birth of your first
can alter the way you think
the things you once desired
now seem to hold no meaning...
The longest journey of your life begins...
the end is nowhere in sight
for thats a parent you see
and thats the truth of life
The journey of your life does begin the day you are born but i feel that you mature and really start thinking about life once you have children.Its becoming a parent that brings about the selflessness within you. The day you stop thinking about yourself and embark on thinking about another.... the LONGEST JOURNEY

Oct to Feb... and a comeback
After being off blogging for so long, i have decided to make a comeback... its just that i had been very preoccupied with Aaren...housework, cooking cleaning and the list goes on and on...
i am into the 25th week of my second pregnancy and the fatigue is finally starting to cease...the morning sickness is showing signs of leaving me alone and my toddler is more manageable then ever.
I'll be back tomorrow with more pictures and updates. Leaving for my appointment with my midwife now... ciao
