My Boosters

1. My sleeping beauty - looking at her sleeping already gives me the solace.


2. My Energy - my boy teaches me to 'Juz do it and worry about the rest later...' for the info he is at a playground not a beach!!!

You Never Know until You Try...

I bought a dress from the boutique whose name starts with 'E' last week as a present for myself. I thought I can wear it on Saturday but when I put it on it was too small. Oops! Did I put on some weight after only a few days or did I get the wrong size. I was rather upset as I have already cut the tag, ironed it and receipt destroyed too. I have the feeling that there is no way I can get it exchanged.

Today, I was uncertain to try to bring back the dress for an exchange... I braced up myself and told myself 'No harm trying... What is the worst? Come home with the original loh, maybe I can lost some weight then put it on again. SO I put it back to the bag and went back to the boutique.

I went to the boutique, looked for the sales guy whom attended to me. I told him the whole story about buying, cut the tag, destroyed the receipt and ironed it but it is too small! He spoke to the manager and she agreed. I am so touched... I went to the lady and thanked her as I told her I knew that the norm is no exchange can be done without receipt and with the tag cut. Oh... I am so happy... Now I can wear the dress and not chuck it into a corner of my wardrobe! Yippee... And I am rather grateful to the boutique manager for allowing the exchange!

Mrs Lee...

This morning I have been addressed as 'Mrs Lee' or 'Teacher' by a group of Sec 1 students. It is an exciting assignment for me to be a assistant trainer for a IT training agency. I woke up at 530am as I need to be in school by 730 am. A walk to the MRT station was great because the weather was good and it was a very refreshing moment for me...

I have been a trainer to adults in my ex-company but never Sec students. It is a fresh encounter to me and infact I enjoyed the session with them though there are a few mischevious kids. To me it's either they already knew the software or they are not bothered with a non-exam subject. I am glad it is a non-exam subject too because the pressure will be lesser on us the trainers. ;)

Tomorrow will be my last day of assignment and I will end with a lunch with my ex-colleagues again like today. Yippee...

My Birthday...

I spent my birthday very differently this year. I didn't get to be with my kids or husband for any celebration nor was there any. I didn't feel upset, disappointed or unhappy... Instead I am happy on how I spent that special day...

Early morning, hc and I sent the kids to school (normally I would be at home) then hc and I went for breakfast. I told the kids, yes that day is mummy's birthday but mummy has a class at night and thus not able to be with them. No whining from anyone, they accept the fact. Phew...

After breackfast I went to visit my mum. Though I didn't manage to get her to go out of her comfort zone to move around, I can see she is very happy to see me. So I hang around with her for the rest of the morning... Wanted to give her a treat for lunch, she is not willing to move out at all. Well, at least I spent a morning with her.

In the afternoon, I headed for Seng Kang to get myself ready for our last session of a parenting course for the night. The class is suppose to prepare some food for a farewell potluck for the session. Spent my time with TLian and her 2 kids and I can see the kids love to play with me... So funny right, on my birthday I didn't get to spend time with my kids but a friend's but no big deal! The important thing is everyone is happy. I'm surprised I didn't sulk but I enjoy every moment of my time with TLian and family.

After dinner is the class... Wow... I didn't realise I am very tired... till I wasn't able to think properly in class and not able to answer simple questions and the usual thing like how do I feel after the course to the teacher... I simply said TLian has answered for me. I can see my friend is shocked for me to say that... Well, the night stretched and after lesson we stayed behind and chatted with the teacher... ha, ha... still claimed I am tired right... The class usually ends at 9 pm but we only left near 10 that night!

This is not the end... We went Jalan Kayu for my favourite prata... We went there but I didn't had any food because I am seriously over stretched... I have no appetite but I am just enjoying my drink of coconut and the company of HC, RL and TLian. I have always enjoy their company since I know them!

Near 12 am then we really got going... Ha, ha... I told HC please give me some rest time till tomorrow morning... I really needed a good rest. So yes! I am given the privilege to rest since we got home till the next day morning! HC got the kids ready to school without much of my help and I woke up feeling refreshed after everyone has left home.... Thank you 老公。。。 And when I got home, HC gave me a surprise with a tiny cake... I thought no cake for me this year! ha ha... still, my HC remembers... (no pix of the tiny cake bcos I am too tired to give it a shot!)


Though this birthday there is no special way of celebrating it but I enjoy every moment of it... Even though I am already very very very exhausted by evening...

Daddy...

Last year this time, daddy was still around... I still can remember the long corridor walk of the hospital to his ward. We were able to talk to each other and see each other at his ward but a year after I can only see daddy in my memory... I can't even reach his hands... My heartaches... A friend told me to concentrate on the living now, my mummy and my family... I try... but I can't help missing daddy...

Last afternoon, YS and I walked past the Soup Resturant and YS said 'Mummy we came to this place with Ah Gong and Ah Ma before.' I nodded my head and the next question my dear little girl popped, 'Are you going to cry?' I shaked my head... 'Are you sure you are not going to cry?' It seems that my dear little girl is aware that whenever at the mentioned of Ah Gong, mummy heartaches...

Who is In-charge?

Who is incharge of your life? To an adult like me, I AM INCHARGE! 加油! Life is not a bed of roses... Dark clouds will pass and there will be sunshine after a storm. Do you depend on others to cheer yourself up? I guess we tend to be influenced by others but we have to remind ourselves, we are incharge here and do we wanna waste our time on how others think or wanna spend their time? NO! Time will continue to tick no matter how we wish we can stop the clock. Continue to sulk, to whine and time will be wasted on these unconstructive actions!!!

Be the Master of your life.

I'm hurt

Once again, I feel like an injured bird... Feeling weak but I have to move on... Picked myself up and back to bb steps...
