Savour the moment

The sky was gorgeous this evening and I'm very glad I got to see it with k by my side. He reached the station earlier than me and waited for me so we could walk home together. 

And we walked home to this beautiful sight....

The clouds were really lovely this evening. Anothero pic that I took while on the bus home.....

Oh sinful day!

Had both Old Chang Kee for tea and Mcdonalds for supper. 

Waistline expanding day. Horrors!!!

Sigh + Ugh + CMI

Nothing I can really do. 

So? 

Just keep it within. Till a point where I need to let it all out and then I'll find someway to flush it out. 

The little one

Quite like this pic of Little Baby.

Don't know why though. 

Side note: still not quite sure what to do with that thick "helmet" on her head. It's a waste to cut or trim it all off but sometimes it causes her to feel warm...

Our Nest

Its in its raw and infancy stages but slowly and surely taking shape....

mid-day thoughts

Sometimes when someone misunderstands you and your intentions…walk away or just let it slide…

Sometimes, the more you explain the more grimy it gets.

Those who matter, don't mind. They will still love you. 

Those who mind, don't matter I guess. 

Bah

It's one thing to be staying in your parents' place and have your mum walk into your room while you are sleeping. It's another thing altogether when you are staying with your in-laws and your MIL walks into your room in the dead of the night to check if you have closed the windows in your room and the baby's room. 

I got startled. I wasn't scared shitless but yes I was quite startled. 

Sigh...

:(

My body constitution is really weak now. It was weak before but I could still manage.
Pregnancy and childbirth must have zapped my body out of so much nutrients and energy that I feel quite weak now.

I fall sick easily and my stamina sucks. It's as if I am still pregnant and not able to walk quickly or climb the stairs without catching my breath.

A colleague suggested a whole list of chinese herbal soups guaranteed to boost vitality and the general "qi" of  a person. Sorry pal...I can't take herbs...Another suggested chicken stewed in brandy. This is more feasible...

Coupled with exercise (which I have yet to start....) I hope I can build myself up again...

........

The man's going away to BKK for a business trip tomorrow and will only be back on Thursday night.

Mummy will be on a solo adventure with the Little One for the next 3 mornings and nights. 

First time. Keeping fingers crossed! 

And may she be a good girl and sleep right through for all 3 nights! 

I've a board meeting on Wed afternoon and two of the tabled approval papers are mine. Hope I am not too "stoned" on that day. 

And my stomach isn't doing well these few days, especially today. May my tum feel better very soon. 

Jiayou!!

看开看开

凡事都要看开....

Even if there are irritating folks in your team...

看开看开...

And your world will still remain beautiful...

(Well, hopefully)

看开看开...

看开看开...

看开看开...

============
Not trying to be mean...but recall someone saying something about The Coll. It went something like this...

"Earn so much and still so lazy....With her attitude, no wonder she's still unmarried...Better find a guy for her. Hopefully she'll be better after that...."

I remember it came as a shock to me because the person who said the above is a mild-mannered and very patient lady. For her to say something like that means The Coll probably stepped on her toes once too many times...

开工大吉！

They dismantled the wallpapers on Wednesday and today the hacking officially starts. :) 

May everything go smoothly and be 顺顺利利! 

Looking forward to our little nest. 

A place where Little Baby will grow up in. :) 

Resting bitch face

I've long known that I have a "resting bitch face" aka chau bin and that I frown when I am concentrating hard at work or thinking about something. 

This was yet again affirmed by what the office cleaner auntie told my boss' PA. She said that I have a chau bin and look extremely fierce and unfriendly and that she didn't dare talk to me. Knowing how she usually speaks and gossips about others, she probably made it sound quite bad. 

Oh well, I'm actually just a harmless meek lamb. Really. 

feeling....calm

It's been a good day so far. I'm thankful.
Work has been smooth. I had a half-hour skype call with a potential reseller based in New York which went well, though at times it was a little awkward, maybe because of time lag issues with Skype.

I had mee hoon kueh for lunch and it warmed me up from the inside out. Perfect meal for a cold and rainy day.

Power Station accompanied me this morning during work and now in the afternoon, Jason Mraz has the honours of doing so.

The melodies of Mr Curiosity, A Beautiful Mess, 93 Million Miles, You and I Both....are filling my ears...some repeatedly haha.

I feel at peace and I am imagining the days when I can play his songs in my own home...while I am going about my chores...or just chilling on the couch...

Can't quite decide if the music or the rain is calming me...

心疼

Oh...心疼啊心疼...Little Baby has been on a blend of Zyrtec, Bambec and Singulaire...

The doc did a nose swab on her and it tested positive for bacteria and so now she has to be on antibiotics....and because she will be on antibiotics, the doc's prescribing her probiotics as well because the antibiotics might cause her gastric....

Sigh...so young and taking so much medication...:(

K & I are feeling 心疼 now...

Dreams...

Dreamt of Xingli last week but I couldn't remember what the dream was about. Dreamt of her again on Sat night and I distinctly remembered that she was expecting in my dream and it was a baby boy she was carrying. 

I texted her on Sunday, told her about my dream and jokingly asked if my dream was true. 

And she said it was half-true. 

She really was expecting her third but it's a girl. 

Got a shock when she replied me. Wah my dream is true! Although not so accurate on the details but it was true! How coincidental can it be? 

Mr Pen

Since Little Baby's second week after birth, we've been noting down all her feed times and poo moments, and all her medication times when she's sick. Now that she started on some solids, we're noting those down too and monitoring her intake.

This morning, Mr Pen's ink ran out....

Thank you Mr Pen..

You came from an opulent hotel (Four Seadons if I remember correctly) to our humble abode and you've served us well for almost 7.5months. 

29th May 2014

Yesterday was Granny's 49th day of passing. 

Nothing strange happened. Not did I see any moth. 

I hope she's moved on to Heaven smoothly. 

morning rambles

The boss' ficklemindedness is causing me anguish, anger and frustration.

One day he says this. The next day he says that.

If he changes his mind, and acknowledges it's his indecision, I'm fine.

But for this recent incident, he changed his mind and blamed me for making the initial decision. Like WTF? I reminded him that it was he who made the decision in the initial place and it was agreed during the team meeting where everyone was present.

And what's worse was that I've already communicated the initial decision to the external party. Now I have to backtrack and tell them errrr....actually cannot.

My reputation is affected. It's like as if I can't do my job properly.

ARGH.

Phew...

Feeling thankful and grateful.

The skies were very overcast and I was still on the bus on the way to work. I decided to take a gamble and wing it instead of stopping at an MRT station along the way and switching to the train.

The clouds held it in and the moment I reached the building and stepped under shelter, they let loose and the rains poured down.

Moth

A small black moth appeared on Friday at our area of the house and had stayed on. It was always on the high walls or near the ceiling. 

When I woke from the dream last night and went to tend to Little Baby because she was crying, the moth was just outside my bedroom. On an adjacent wall and at eye-level instead. 

This morning, when going down the stairs, I found it lying upturned on its wings. It must have died sometime between 3am and 730am....:(
