Procrastination

Must really digest Regina's email on how to add blog list...cannot afford to be so unglam (lazy) in front of a new friend! Tsk tsk tsk!

Been procrastinating on lots of stuff lately.

But that's libra woman - things are done according (very according) to her moods!

The Power of Glamy Mum

The glamy mum's hair is growing out of shape.

And once glamy mum's hair is out of shape, glamy mum will feel very pek chek.

And once glam mum is pek chek, everyone else will not have good days.

Muah..haha...the Power of Glamy Mum!!!

Hence everyone else will urge glamy mum to go for monthly maintenance such as mani, pedi, hair treatment, shopping therapy....anything that will have Glamy Mum smiling again!

Nothing To Do...Achieving Aplenty

Woke up (naturally) to a cool dark cozy room.

I knew it would be drizzling/raining outside.

It is heaven waking up to a rainy day...I just love rainy daze.

Finally, I forced myself to take a day off from work today!

Hubby is so nice to have a little breakfast with me despite that he is expected at Hotel Hyatt for a networking session....(to me-networking is boring, you call that networking when the same people are at different conferences everytime!)

I am back home to do laundry, cleared one of the kitchen cabinets, packing and throwing away some unwanted/untouched stuff. It is really therapeutic to do housework/housekeeping. I love doing housework except IRONING! I love cleaning, washing, packing, unpacking. I was even dreaming of being a housekeeper in England or a matron in UK. I love it that the house is neat, clean, cozy and nice.

I took a short walk to Compasspoint for a dental appointment.

I had scaling & polishing done. As much as I like to do it every 3 months, I had only remember to do it every 3 years (lazy me).

I made an effort to breathe in the lovely cool fresh air along the way, something I knew I was very deprived of - getting close to nature, enjoying nature.

Took a late but leisure-ly lunch, went for some household shopping. Back home now, listening to soft music playing while blogging.

How I wish everyday would be like today.

But having said that, I wouldn't cherish so much if everyday is like today.

Hello Today, I love you Today. I am glad today is not always everyday.

I learnt to cherish, I learnt to treasure.

Time is like a river.

You cannot touch the same water twice,

because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Enjoy every moment of life.

I enjoyed my today.............muahs!

The Best Things In Life...

The Best Things In Life...Are Free.

This was taken from my bedroom window.

Blessed am I to have another uneventful day goes by.

So Sleepy...zzzzzzzz

So super duper S L E E P Y today!

Weather is so nice to nua somemore!

Still gotta wake up and go to work!

Pie miah ah!!!

No, no, no...shouldn't think like that!

Blessed am I to have work to do.

Enough energy to feel sleepy.

Bed....please wait for me early tonight...here I come!

My Closest Friend No.1

My Closest Friend No. 1 : CH
(note: they are ranked according to seniority – must respect right!)

Let’s start from CH. I always call her “Boss”. I know CH is slightly uncomfortable with me calling her “Boss”. Heard of this Chinese saying “once a teacher, forever a teacher”. CH is like that to me. Once a “Boss”, forever a “Boss” to me. “Boss” here mainly refers to mentor and not the typical stereo-typed fierce no-nonsense kinda boss figure.

I always go all the way back when I first saw her in the office. I was emotionally drained during a company restructure in Year 1998. Rumor had been that CH would be my immediate superior. When someone pointed out CH to me, I was somewhat relieved. She was like the only normal human being in the office because all of the others had eyes on their heads. She smiled and she seemed to enjoy her day, her work and the people around her. That really put me to ease. The rest (they say) is history.

When I think of everything we had been through together, I am not sure that ‘friend’ is a big enough word to describe what CH are to me.

CH had been the one I had looked up upon in the lowest lows of my life. She had been the one I have admired in the highest highs of my life. CH never fail to give me (or everyone under her) just what we need, whether it is positive naggings, understanding, or some nice home-baked cookies, home-made jellies, home-made almond tea. (Speaking of almond tea, CH’s almond tea is SUPERB ok). It was this great faith I had for CH that made me struggle on during the tough period.

We had been tried and tested and yet here we are…still standing side by side. And as far as I am concerned, we will always be that way because you are so much more than just a friend, a mentor, a supervisor, a boss. You are part of my heart.

I lub you dip dip boss.

Best Friends...Are Siblings (Whatever Religion You Are) Forgot To Give Us.

I read somewhere that one needs only 4 good friends in our life.

A doctor, a lawyer, a IT specialist and a chef.

Well, I have A L L of the above with me...I am a damn lucky girl right!

My next few posts will be about each one of them.

How I have grown with them, loved them and we are still so very close even though we meet (maybe) 3 times a year.

Water Retention

There's water retention this whole week.
Not me....is the weighing machine!
I weigh myself e v e r y d a y !

Just to make sure I DON'T put on weight!


My normal weight should be 42.6kg.
The reading on the scale this whole week has been 43.3kg!


How come? How can?
So I have concluded....the weighing machine has water retention!
Give it some time to recover.

Good Health = Best Wealth

Nothing beats the notion that you are healthy...for yourself, for your family and for the people around you.

The hubby just went for a heart consultation after whining of chest pain? chest spasm? chest discomfort?

Anyway, all is well.

Long Sighted...Ness

Have come so far to 40 years old ...

Nothing is better than now ...

Because I am enjoying life ...

Because I know how to enjoy life ...

By not sweating over small stuff ...

Except what to wear? what to buy? what not to buy? ...

Cheeky ya? ...

********************

Life is always so ironic.

As you mature, your short sightedness is getting better but you develop long sightedness which means you can't read anything placed too near you.

It is like telling you - you have to look far ahead.

An Evening At The Beach

It was one of the saturdays, I drove mum and girl to the beach.

We had dinner there before we headed out to the beach.

Girl loved the beach to the max.
It is at times like this that you truly enjoyed the whole scenery.
People around you...families around you...couples walking past you...
What a romantic sight.
What a serene night.

Happy Father's Day

Wishing All Fathers :

A Happy Father's Day and May Everything Nice Come Your Way!

Love You Always
