1) Have not been feeling well :( It's either I'm feeling giddy or nausea...worse is when I caught the freaking coughing bug and I have been coughing my lungs out plus having a sore throat...Very irritable lately and I'm glad that puppy has been very understanding and patient with me...

2) I didn't go back to punggol today as I do not want to pass the bug to my dad. The last thing he should get is to fall sick, let alone having coughin which he always takes super long to recover plus I think it will probably hurt his wound. Felt so guilty that mama had prepared chicken wings for us but we were not able to make it home as I was feeling terrible the whole day. We pretty much just stay indoor, watch tv, sleep and rest...

3) Mother-in-law cooked bird nest for us all! Though puppy didn't take it as he didn't like it...his portion is in my tummy now...ha ha ha...very touched to have my mother-in-law doting on us and cooking for us. I'm so lucky to have her as my mummy.

I hope I have enough energy to go work tomorrow!!!

1) Not feeling well today and had to take MC for the day.

2) Glad that I get to rest. Didn't sleep much though. Just not feeling well all over esp in the day...

3) Glad that I feel better towards the end of the day...hope tomorrow I'll feel better!

1) Got to go back and keep papa company after he's been discharged. His wound is still in the midst of healing, there was less discomfort but I think he's still doesn't quite have the appetite to eat yet. Hope he gets better soon.

2) Was playing around with B and C. It was hilarious as usual. C made me a 'I love gu gu' card...while B was busy lying in puppy's tummy, listening to his tummy making sounds. Dun ask me why he did that, it was so funny, I guessed he just find it fun to do.

3) Puppy started playing the 'ask Siri question' game and it got B and C so interested. Some of the questions they asked were so silly yet funny!

1) Had to go relative's house to do some bai bai as it was puppy's grandma's death anniversary. It's like a mini family gathering and everyone made time to come by and gather. Lunch was filled with endless amount of food - curry chicken, bee hoon etc...so happy to see the folks laughing and eating at the same time.

2) Manage to catch some rest time. Lately it's been like a no-nap-cannot-function mode...

3) Played mj and I lost like big time!!! Urgh...money aside, it's still fun though as we always talked and joked around.

1) I was so freaking low in energy! Had to push myself to last between 1-6pm. Body function seems to deteriorate as I age...

2) Met up with puppy and his friends for dinner. Was so zombified that I was in a daze moving from office to vivo city. Really couldn't quite open my eyes.

3) Caught the movie 'Attack on Titan'. I thought I would fall asleep but I didn't. It was really nice! Always loved Japanese movie! So glad that puppy said he wanna watch it, if not I would have given it a miss.

1) Too tired today. Slept early last night but still feeling lethargic. Good that I didn't have that many kids to see today.

2) Puppy was not feeling well so I ended up cooking dinner for both of us - porridge, egg, xiao bai cai with mushrooms.

3) Got in contact with an ex student's mum. Hilarious conversations. Hope to see the girl soon to see how she's been!

1) Managed to go through the day albeit feeling tired. It's been getting tough to go work esp after the long break

2) Glad that kids were good and as funny as always. Always a bless to see them improve.

3) Happy to have dinner with puppy at home. He's not bee feeling too well, so guess we'll sleep early tonight

1) Super dun feel like going to work... O man...like Andy said...inertia was huge in bringing myself back to work....glad things went well though

2) Doc said papa can be discharged tomorrow. Bro will be down handling it, so that's good.

3) Met up with puppy after visitation. He knocked of late so we bought late dinner home. Glad to be able to have dinner with him :)

1) Discover a new order system at yishun macdonald. Pretty cool I must say...and it was so much faster!

2) Think papa can be discharged soon...yeah...finally he can go home and rest.

3) Finally met up with Peifen!!!! Omg has it been a year already??? I missed her so much!!! So glad that she's back here!!! No more time lag msges! So much to talk and update her. Just so happy to have her back! No matter what it is, you've been a very brave and strong woman...move forward and look ahead k!

1) We started the day with breakfast at Tiong Bahru. It was awesome and I think we ordered too much food! Was so stuffed with the food that the boys ordered...

2) Went to visit papa again. He seemed a lot better. Slightly lesser pain and was more mobile than yesterday. Good progress I supposed.

3) Spent the rest of the day at home playing mj with Andy and Abby. Dinner was packed home and we ate while watching the National Day Parade. Have always been proud to be a Singaporean. It's a pity Lee Kuan Yew wasn't here to witness the celebration. Without him, Singapore would not have become this successful. We are only humans, we all have our worries and burden to carry. I really wonder how did someone like him be so driven and strong willed in pushing such a small nation forward? Thank you for all that you've done. Without you, none of us can enjoy the lifetyle that we have now. Happy 50th National Day!

1) Went to see the gynae today. Glad everything is alright :)

2) Went to see dad in the afternoon, his epidural was off and he's in alittle more pain due to the churning and discomfort. Glad to see him sitting up and walking around abit.

3) Had steamboat dinner at Uncle Peter's house. So fun and yummy! The boys were talking about stuffs and it was hilarious! Great way to spend the eve of national day :)

1) Yeah today dun need to work! So glad we get to rest today. Had curry rice for lunch with my in laws and then off we went to visit papa. My in laws, Andy and Abby came along too. Glad papa is resting better and able to talk better.

2) Went to watch Mission Impossible with the Neos. Movie was not too bad...pretty entertaining..

3) Played Mahjong with the gang...I end up losing the most...nonetheless it was fun!

1) Papa's surgery went well, albeit not able to do keyhole procedure, I'm glad he pulled through such big surgery. He looked pretty good post - op too...not too pale...could joke some more...

2) Glad that mum has been coping fairly well with papa's op. She seemed to take it quite alright and not too anxious.

3) Grateful that puppy drove me to hospital and drove mama and me home. I know he's tired from work and the traveling journey was really far...

1) Went to visit a friend who got hospitalized. Glad that she was well after the operation. She looked really good. And the fact that she's craving for food pre and post operation, I guess that's a good sign!

2) Visited papa in KTPH. The folks kept bickering, I ended up having to drag mama away and said bye to papa before he started getting more mad. Felt like I was dealing with two kiddos, so exhausting. And this only happened after bro left -_- Anyhow, hope the operation will go well tomorrow...

3) Made my way down to join puppy and his colleagues. Glad that I get the chance to meet them as I've heard puppy mentioned about them so often.

*On the side note, I'm getting more tired and frustrated with things around me. It's frustrating when my body is going haywire.

1) Caught LKY musical with Nikki...it's not too bad actually. Kinda like attending history lesson but in the musical form. Adrian Pang was really good! Both singing and acting...he's really good in plays...I missed the time when I caught him on 'Boeing Boeing' it was such a good play with the late Emma Young too...

2) Puppy came to fetch me after the play despite him being tired.

3) Was so hungry after watching the musical as I only had a small snacks before the show. Had some nuggets for supper and felt soooo satisfied after!

1) Glad to see the girl whom I did home therapy for was smiley and less grouchy. Her dad is right, she is really beautiful and sweet! Hope she gets better soon.

2) So happy to meet up with Nikki and Christine and little Emma. Emma girl was such a cheeky toddler!!! I love her endless imitations of my expressions! Such a funny little girl! Glad we had a dinner get together despite being busy with our own lives.

3) Managed to go home with puppy after my gathering :)

1) Glad to see papa being himself and showing off to me the $58 smartphone that he bought. He's forever so funny and willing to explore.

2) The kiddos came into my room and toppled on me just because puppy told them to go in and disturb me. I love the time when they all came in and be with me. The boys were always finding ways to play games in our phones, kitty was always squashing me and clingy like a baby, Dom Dom was always looking for the mirror so that he could look at himself (I dunno why)....haha...the kiddos were really noisy but hilarious at the same time.

3) Went to Singapore Yatch club for dinner. The evening scenery was beautiful! Glad we went there for dinner with the folks :)

1) Spent the morning with puppy after work and we managed to catch Ant Man. It was hilarious and relaxing kinda movie. Been awhile since we last caught a movie.

2) Joined Auggy and his friends for his birthday celebration at Time Zone! It was sooooo fun! The bumper cars, the shooting game, the vibrating roller coaster rides and the Polaroid taking booth conjurred such a blast of childhood memories! So glad we fork out some time to play with the kids...

3) Had dinner with in laws, Andy and Abby. 7 more weeks to see baby Andrew!

1) Was able to survive the day with just one curry puffs. At least I managed to pull through my afternoon sessions albeit with slight rushing here and there.

2) So happy to see puppy and to take train together after work. Mundane routine but I do appreciate spending snippets of time like that with him.

3) Had Korean food for dinner...was so so good to eat the hot pot and the yummy chicken after surviving on one curry puff in the day...

1) Was really tired...but I'm really glad we made it for the badminton session. It's always fun to play with the peeps and laughed at each other. Supper after the session was always a great time in which we chat and catch up with each other.

2) Glad I had some breather in the morning to do my backlog of reports and admin stuffs...

3) Glad my first session with the new kid went alright...keep finger crossed...

1) Puppy was showing me a clip that he took of me making funny sounds while sleeping. It's not snoring but more like hissing sound. It was hilarious! I'm glad I've found someone whom I can laugh with and joke around...

2) Had dinner with Pupz and we were supposed to look for t shirts that I could buy and wear for my work...it's not fun putting on weight when tops you used to wear are getting tighter :(

3) Dad has finally settled the arrangement for his operation. Now we'll just have to wait and pray hard hard the operation will go smoothly.

1) Had a good lunch meeting today. It was a farewell lunch for Vera. Hope she will get to enjoy her study trip come September!

2) Met up with Aussie Girls and had so much to catch up! Really glad we got to spend sometime together. The main course and dessert was really yummy at the restaurant we chose. So glad we went for it!

3) Puppy came to fetch me after dinner despite him not feeling well. Always so sweet and thoughtful! Muack!

2) Was able to pull through the day with little sleep. Glad that I didn't make any mistakes during work time despite being so tired.

3) Think I'm quite lucky to be able to knock out at 7.41pm and slept through the night! Was really too tired to stay up any longer after dinner!

1) Yeah flying home today! Before checking out of hotel, we managed to check out the pool on 6th floor. It was awesome! Although it was alittle cold, the view of the sea was really nice and relaxing!

2) Appreciate mummy, daddy and Abby for fetching us at the airport!

3) Manage to have dinner with folks and Abby. Thereafter, we went to take a look at the baby Andrew's cot! Man...so many things were bought! So cute and tiny! Can't wait to see baby Andrew!

1) Eastern and Oriental was such a comforty and nice hotel. Glad we chose this hotel :)

2) I know I'm completely brainless when it comes to directions. Am so glad that puppy was able to lead and guide me to the various street murals. Thought it was quite fun that we got to go around George Town and that puppy was up for walking around for so long...hehehe...it was such a scorching hot weather with so little amount of shelter available. We were both burnt and so tired after the entire walk.

3) Dinner was great. Pretty chillax and simple with the BBQ buffet. Was able to see beautiful sunset and to have dinner at the same time :)

1) Gotten my back, shoulder and knee fixed by Calvin. So thankful to have him looking after us hehehe...

1) Managed to finish a report. Sigh like finally...

2) Glad I  was still able to make it for badminton albeit my right knee hurt like mad when I exerted force. The after badminton supper was fun. Everyone was laughing at me for being cheapskate and thinking that satay uncle gave me free 5 sticks of satays with just extra fifty cents. It just goes to show I'm really not good at handling money...haha...

3) Puppy helped to wash and sun the clothes yesterday...keke....glad that he took the initiative to!

1) Happy to be able to sleep in alittle and go into office slightly later.

1) Happy to see my curly hair boy and that he's getting better.

2) Glad that we were able to pack dinner home and watched some movies for the evening.

3) Love it when I got to spend some relax time with puppy in the pool. It was alittle cold and he deliberately splashed water at me so that I had no choice but to get into the pool instead of just dipping my legs in...I like how I made him float and 'push' him around the pool like he's a big truck...hahaha love such silly moments!

1) Went back punggol on Sunday and spent sometime with the kiddos. Well tired me was sleeping until Kitty came in and lay her entire body on me! She looks skinny but she soooo heavy! Gosh...when did my little chubby baby grow to such long limbs and heavy girl! Still glad that she is closed to me and would come hug me or lean on me from time to time. Love it when she gently comb my hair and put the hair clip for me...

2) Happy that I could accompany puppy for his futsal again. Perhaps next time I'll try to get back to jogging while he plays :)

1) Glad we managed to fine sometime for massage. Although it was not as good, at least we managed to get that striked off our to-do list.

2) Happy that the hotel we stayed in was nice. The layout was slightly old school but the room was cosy and comfortable. The staffs were really friendly too.

3) Glad we spent time shopping and chatting with each other. Long overdue catching up. Am glad that min is moving on well. Being able to talk about what happened is a good healing process for her :)

1) Glad that puppy was willing to drive me to harbour front to take my boat ride to Batam.

2) Finally organized a trip with min and apple for a mini get away. It's so tough to arrange for a common time to get away esp when one has kiddos and family commitment. Glad we finally did it.

3) Glad to get a msg from lady boss. Simple gesture meant a long way. I hope things will turn out fine for everyone.

1) My buddy told me a piece of happy news! So thrilled and happy for her!!!! Yippeee!!!

3) Happy that weekends are coming...can't wait to have a rest!

1) My boys in the afternoon session were hilarious! One was so familiar with me that he kept trying to play pranks on me, the other was so clueless at times that he said the darnest thing during our game of Taboo...

2) Puppy drove me back to punggol to drop the tickets for my folks for tomorrow's matches. It was such long journey to and fro! Appreciate that he's willing to give the tickets cos he knows my papa would appreciate the soccer matches...

3) Due to long journey in the car, both of us got alittle impatient and tired, went into a mini screaming match at each other over a phone call. I'm glad that puppy gave in to me and tried to coax me albeit he was feeling agitated too. I think I got over it pretty fast (considering I'm usually the petty one) and we just moved on to chat about other stuffs. O well somehow I can never stay angry with him for long...what more can I ask for if he's willing to give in from time to time :)  Gotta remind myself to not lose my cool so easily :p

1) Mother-in-law cooked chicken porridge! Was yummy and light for the stomach...very nice to have that for dinner :)

2) Glad that puppy always helped me scratch my back upon my request...hehe I've always liked the feeling of having my back scratched...very soothing!

3) The girl that I did home therapy with gave me the sweetest smile ever despite her tiredness...her eyes sparkled when she did that...glad I could still bring smiles to her face...

1) Happy that I managed to convince dad to change his ward for his op in Aug. I know he has his reason for choosing the cheapest, also our bad for not informing him that we have bought him insurance earlier on, I guess it's all about communication without throwing fits ;p

2) Glad that we had lunch together with my in-laws, Andy and Abby...glad that we could make them laugh...even with our squabbles ;p

3) Glad that Pupz still hugs me, entertains me with sweet words and coax me when I find myself putting on so much weight...am I lucky or what...kekeke...need.to.watch.my.diet....

2) Managed to catch a movie with puppy...been awhile since we watched movie together...And for him to wanna catch 'Magic Mike XXL' and said it was pretty entertaining...it's a good afternoon spent I must say...

3) The fact that I could sleep in for alittle while more...meant a lot to me...my whole body seems to be breaking apart...esp my right side...need to get my posture fixed soon...sigh...

1) Glad that my kids in Mindsville were well and listened to instructions during therapy session :)

2) Happy that I get to buy my coffee and sandwich for lunch!

3) Super glad that I got to meet up with Audrey! It's been such long time since we last met, that we had so much to catch up on...so so great to hear of her progress!

1) Glad I finally get to talk to my lady boss and told her of my desire to stop working by next year. No grudge nor bitterness, I'm just extremely tired and it's to the extend that I'm doubting myself at work...and think that perhaps with my exit things will get better in the office...

2) Had a great badminton session today with my mates...at least today I'm running a tad more than usual and was not too exhausted...

3) Lucky to have woken up automatically despite not hearing my alarm sound. Although we were slightly later than usual in getting up, we were still able to make it to work on time!

1) Glad that I get to have lunch with my colleague and talked about funny stuffs.

2) Bought dad some papers to read. At least I'm still able to keep him company

3) Appreciate that puppy came to fetch me from KTPH. It's a long way to and fro...but he never complained...maybe except when he's hungry cos dinner time was pushed back...hahaha

1) Glad that I was in time to get on the train before it broke down entirely for the whole evening and night. Was on my way to visit papa and I'm glad I left early! Almost wanted to see another kid 5-6pm but I declined. So glad I did that, else I'll be stuck in the train!

2) Happy to spend sometime with papa during the evening. He seemed alright despite the admission.

3) Glad the kids made it to visit papa. Although I know he always said dun trouble, he was actually smiling when ABC visited him.

1) Made a boo boo today and went for home visit when the parent had already informed me to cancel it. O well, at least I do not have a session in the morning, hence I could make my way back to office without having to rush or squeeze with others.

2) Very happy to hear that my little kiddo is expending his play repertoire apart from playing with cars. The pretend play we had was awesome, although I got hit in the face by his 'sword' as he pretended to be a knight, doing sword fighting against me.

3) Glad to spend time with Pupz and Abby during dinner time. Had indian food for dinner and we were stuffed. I still had stomach for ice cream though. So satisfied tonight!

2) Glad that we have time to play mahjong. Albeit I always lose, at least we get to play, talk and gossip...hehe...

3) Had durian feast for the night as puppy went for colleague's wedding. We had so fun eating the durian together and it was nice that we all talked about how best to hide and eat the durian so that Pupz would not be bothered by the smell at the new house in future. Can't wait to have durian in the roof top next time!

1) Finally found time to get my nails done and got them to be lavender colour! Love it!

1) I'm glad to see the little girl who is so cute and  was  always asking me about my marriage life...she's only 5 yo but she asked the most innocent and cutest questions ever. As much as I hate it when people asked me why am I not pregnant yet, this little girl asked me if I'm angry with my husband when I said I haven't gotten a baby yet...very funny question ain't it! I burst out laughing and told her I'm not angry with my husband, I'm just waiting for the baby to be ready to 'come to my tummy'

1) Happy to see my curly hair cutie pie. The mummy is always so warm and great in playing with her child.

Glad that Apple get to spend sometime with us after settling her kids back home.

2) Hubby bought me a sleepwear while he was out with my bro and sis in law. And I thought he bought something for himself when I saw the quicksilver paper bag. Happy that he thought of me even when he was out watching movie with Andy and Abby.

3) Peifen and Aaron are coming back on 6 Aug!!! No more wanting-to-meet-up-but-realize-she's-not-in-Singapore moment! I can finally have my buddy back in the same time zone!

1) Spent the morning having breakfast with Puppy. Glad that I managed to wake up early to accompany Pupz. As a well known sleepy head, I think it's quite an achievement for me to get up early on weekends...

2) Glad that I managed to find a decent dress for the wedding dinner. I've put on so much weight since getting married that I couldn't fit into many of the dresses that I've bought...

3) Very very happy to be able to attend SQ & Jasy's wedding. So glad to see Sq's parents being so happy with their son settling down! Blissful marriage ahead!

1) Glad that I was able to rush back to clinic and be in time for my 1pm kid. It's been really hectic having to rush from Mindsville to clinic. I was so happy when I could get a cab back, reduced so much of my traveling time!

2) Had crappy lunch that consisted of only one curry puff. I am so happy that Puppy agreed to have Korean food and would share the hot pot with me despite knowing that it would be a huge potion of food to consume.

3) Glad that I dun have to work on Sat...at least I get to rest alittle more...

1) My favorite  girl came into the clinic exclaiming that I looked good in my hair...felt so happy despite the fact that I felt like a broom head after the soft rebonding was done...

2) Happy that my hubby would include me in dinner with his colleagues...

3) I managed to get the minion figurin today! The Macdonald at Forum was completely sold out. I went to the one at boat quay instead. So happy to get one!!! Had a happy meal while waiting for my hubby to knock off!!!

1) Appreciate Uncle Peter for inviting us to the Mercedes AMG launch event at Grand Hyatt. It was an experience I've not been through before. No doubt I was super underdress (like really super underdress), it was fun watching how people mingle and how the organizer arranged the pre show before they let everyone have a view and touch of the latest AMG GTS.

2) There was a major boo boo at work yesterday, resulting in me having only 15 min lunch, to make up for the session  and having my kid to make an alternate arrangement with his project mates. Am really glad that things turned out well, like really well. I was prepared for the mum to yell or make a fuss for the time delay and inconvenience caused. Instead she was soooooo understanding and assured me that it was not within my control to begin with. I've been with this mum and kid for awhile, and to see her being so calm and collected dealing with such situation instead of exploding, I truly think she's changed for the better! And I'm so happy for her!

3) At the end of the day, I'm just glad that I get to go home and sleep as I was dead beat...I so badly want this June hols to end!

1) Happy to have dinner with choon sze and his partner tonight! Went to a new place that he recommended and got to eat tasty dishes! So glad to hear him narrate his working experience in Brazil!

2) Puppy told me funny jokes today. Sometimes I wonder what's stored in his head...he can really crack funny stuffs and pull off the jokes to make me laugh like mad..

3) Glad that my parents are back home safely. Glad that they've enjoyed their Taiwan trip!

1) I'm happy that I got to eat my mee sua and subway salad for dinner today. Despite having dinner alone and having a portion that's way larger than what I used to consume, I'm glad I could get my cravings satisfied.

2) Glad that my friend is back in town and sparing time to meet up with me.

3) Glad that despite me being short fused, Puppy was still patiently listening to me and trying to appease me. Can never get angry with him for long, though I sometimes like to pretend to be petty just so that he will coax me. I also know I cannot be keeping up with this all the time. Will reduce my pettiness and stubbornness...

1) I'm grateful that Puppy was willing to buy breakfast in the morning and agreed to soaked in the pool with me under the sun. I love it when we do silly stuffs together and just chat along in the jacuzzi pool. Thank you Puppy for bringing me to have scones for tea when I said I'm craving for it ;p

2) Glad that my in-laws helped me look for my phone when it went missing momentarily as I've forgotten where I last placed it.

3) Happy that I finally get to clean our dusty bed room with the help of my mother in law. Yes, no helper at home and part time helper has left Singapore, so for now we have to rely on ourselves to keep the house reasonably clean...

I think I should start being more positive and start counting my blessings. No more negativity or whining...I really dun like the negative vibes I give out from time to time. 

Perhaps I should list down three each day, starting from today...

19 June 2015

1) Despite super busy schedule and lotsa stress at work, Puppy made his way down to have lunch with me! It's an effort and I truly appreciate him for wanting to spend his time with me despite seeing me every single day ;p

2) Doting mother-in-law boiled ginger-red dates tea for me to bring to work. I'm lucky to have her taking care of my health and well being :)

3) Grateful to have the ability to persuade my parents to go for the Taiwan trip and have the means to support them financially too. 

20 June 2015

1) Happy that I can still relate to kids of various age and make an impact on them.

2) Gage messaged me today to ask of my whereabouts. I thought he saw me at Bugis and that I missed out on saying hi to him. Turned out, he was on his way to Sengkang with his mum and thought to ask me to join them if I were at punggol visiting my parents. Very sweet to have a friend who thinks of me from time to time and try to include me in his activity. 

3) Big gathering for Fathers' day celebration with the Neo family. The laughters, chattings and jokes shared among the elderly, the youngs and the not-so-youngs were truly heart warming :)

Of 2014...

Here I am recovering from another bulk of gastric flu, listening to chinese songs and waiting for the air conditioner repairman to do the maintenance. Am also trying to get work done (not...really not in the mood to...) while waiting for hubby to buy ingredients for me to cook for our lunch.

Have not been on this platform for quite awhile, have not typed my thoughts so freely for quite awhile.

I am thankful for everything that happened in 2014. The good, the not so good, the bad. Yes, even the bad. 

I am thankful for my family who has been very supportive and helpful during my wedding preparation and my transition to being another man's wife. My beloved parents have forever been so thoughtful and least demanding of me. 

I am thankful that I am able to help and ride the waves with my one and only sibling. Yes I grumbled and I lamented but I am still glad that he turned to me for help during the down times. I cannot imagine how he went through what he went through and still goes through. I guess I will never understand. I can only listen and try to mediate. I am thankful that I can still do that. I do hope he will see the good in everything and everyone around him. It's not easy to get rid of that extremely dark cloud above us but who says the sun will not triumph and create some rain above our heads, only to let us see the rainbows at the end of day?

I am thankful for my hubby for accepting me for who I am and still loving me. I know you love me and have been utmost patient with me. The respect, concern, passion and love you've showered me, I still think I am the luckiest girl ever to have you by my side. With you by my side, I think we can overcome many many mountains (apart from Mt Kinabalu ;p )

I am thankful for my in-laws for being so open minded and guiding me along the way ever since I moved in together with my hubby. They have been so understanding and easy going. My mother-in-law has been so thoughtful, always teaching me new stuffs and pointing out things to take note of in the family. I still remember she called me to the kitchen to tell me how to differentiate if the egg is cooked. It's the same kind of feeling when my mum was teaching me cooking stuffs. My father-in-law has been really great in sharing stories of the family with me as well. He's the gem in the family!

I am thankful for my brother and sister-in-law. I have now loved the moments of the 4 of us, sitting at mahjong table - gossiping and laughing at one another's silly acts, perhaps most of the time mine and my hubby's. I hope we will continue to do that when we move into Belgravia. 

I am thankful for my friends and colleagues. I know I have not been the best in keeping up with most of my friends. Perhaps occasional messages are not enough but I would continue to stay in touch. You guys still mean alot to me! I am so thankful to have a bunch of supportive colleagues at work. It has been rough and their presence makes everything so much more bearable. 

I am thankful to be able to learn that I should have stuck to the motto of separating personal stuffs from work. In my 6 coming 7 years of work, it took me a good 3-4 years to open up and share personal stuffs with people in the office. Now, I can't help but shut myself out completely in order not to be affected. Numbers can be fixed, words and trust once broken are difficult to build. I am sorry, I tried to look the other way and to brush it off but this time round, I think I am too disappointed. 

To end with a better note, I think I am ready to step out and explore. I need to build a healthier and more positive self!
