Nursing room at Waterway Point

I visited Waterway Point today! Hubby treated me to Starbucks~ ^^v

It's the day of its opening and guess what? I immediately went to check out the nursing room!

At first glance I thought these are toilet cubicles... but not possible, as this is what I saw on my right...

I pushed the door of a vacant cubicle and this is what I saw.

Each cubicle has one armchair and one power socket.

This nursing room is on level two, near the indoor children's playground... which was of course very crowded on the opening day.

The weather wasn't exactly fine but I just wanted to share a pic of the view from the outdoor area of the mall... facing the Punggol waterway~

It was extremely crowded on the opening day, and the queue at Daiso was super long, so I gave up shopping. I'll be back though! And I'm happy to find some of the eateries I like, plus others that attracted my attention and I hope to try them out some day!

Broke down

I broke down on Wednesday.

My baby girl fell and I couldn't catch her in time, and she almost hurt her eyes on the corner of a bedside cabinet. I feel really lousy. I was very overwhelmed by the incident and various other feelings that have been bugging me on and off. I felt like I am an incompetent mother because I am unable to stay at home to be a full time mum, and an incompetent teacher because I am unable to place my work as my highest priority. That kinda get to me and for a while, I lost the delicate balance of a working mum, and I broke down and cry.

I cried while washing my pump parts while standing alone at the sink in the kitchen. Then I cried myself to sleep.

Today in NIE, we did a self-awareness activity to share how we are feeling this week in our own group. I told them how I felt and how I had broken down. I did feel better and I guess I've recovered from that tremendously bad day. I hope no one will judge me. I still feel incompetent somehow, but I know I shouldn't be too hard on myself despite wanting to excel in everything. I need to love myself first, before I can love my children and love my job.

A day in NIE

Lunch from the splendid vegetarian stall in NIE canteen.

Tea break in the tutorial room while we're having group discussion. 

Homecooked dinner by my lovely mum-in-law.

Posting this makes me hungry... (-__-)
