I need a 李大仁 to talk to now... Sigh...

李大仁

Just finished watching the show 我可能不会爱你 recently. Wow. I'm so mesmerised by the male character 李大仁, where on earth can we find such a nice guy who will always stand by you for years even though he and the female character 程又青 are only platonic friends from the beginning? 李大仁 should be every woman's dream guy. Haha.. The song sang by 陈柏霖 is nice too, his voice sounds enchanting to me too, cannot get my heads off the song lah..

我不会喜欢你 演唱：陈柏霖 作词：徐誉庭 作曲：陈柏霖 王宏恩 歌词编辑：Love全心全意 QQ：412300582 www.mtvzz.com 我想我应该应该不会爱你 为了要努力努力的不爱你 所以我让自己那么喜欢你 这样你就不忍心和我分离 我想我讨厌讨厌骄傲的你 也讨厌美好美好的那个你 于是我要自己假装讨厌你 我必须说我真的不会喜欢你 那么你就舍不得离我而去 我不喜欢你占据我所有思绪 连你的窃笑也像是鼓励 从早安后的早餐到晚餐后的晚安 别笑了 别笑了 我不会喜欢你 我放空了 我解脱了 你还是在我的眼里 我喜欢了 我讨厌了 影响不了我的呼吸 原来我 已经无法自拔 我秘密的 爱上你 你不必懂 我真的不会喜欢你 我不想要你因为我变得消极 从黎明后的太阳 到深夜里的月光 有你的城市下雨也美丽 别想了 别想了 我不会喜欢你 别想了 别想了 我不会喜欢你

Year 2012

Ok, this is the first entry of the year. Haven't been very active here cos i have been quite occupied with baby elyse around. I am gona MIA for a long long time, cos i dun have the time and patience to update now! haa..

Just removed the Chat Corner, cos too many unknown persons lurking around, even appears in the Comment post now. Im too lazy to do something to it, so will just leave it, haa..

K guys, Happy 2012! and Happy CNY too! Wish everyone good health, good wealth and be happy in life! Cheers!

I am a SAHM

11 April 2011 marks the last day of my service in NTU after good 4 years. I must admit that I have very nice and great colleagues since i joined the workforce. The first permanent job was in Pioneer Sector Road and i was working in a very small office. We are always able to leave on time without needing to work OT unless there is a big shipment from other department which requires our assistance, but only for less than 1 week in a year. Working OT with the gals is also considered a chitchat session to know more about one another. I have to leave the company a year later 'cos of the overseas posting of hubby's job. NTU is my 2nd permanent job after returning from france. Similarly, i am lucky enough to work with nice colleagues in our department. Now i am starting to miss them already!

It's about 3 weeks since i am a SAHM. Am really busier than working lor..I am working only 8hrs at work but 24hrs at home. It is really rather tiring but i am happy with looking after the small one. Her smile dissolves all the tiredness and grumblings in me. What a cutie pie, haa..

On the other hand, i do have second thoughts at times. Did i make the right choice? Definitely i love to see my daughter grow and well nurtured, and i have no qualms about that. The only thought is i do feel like a maid sometimes, there are endless things to do and it comes one after another, be it baby stuffs or household chores. It seems like eternity. Body seems to be struggling to work hard for the family and i wonder when will i drain out all my energy. Secondly, staying at home makes me like the world is only hubby, baby and me. Gosh, i feel so outcasted from the outside world. Now i know why SAHM 是伟大的!

I need some air all by myself one of these days..

Update again~

Im back again!

Baby's sleeping, hubby went to work and i just bathed out, so managed to find time to update my blog. :)

A short update of Elyse here:
She now weighs 6.7kg at her 3 and quarter months. She is slightly overweight at 90 percentile as what the PD said. But it is ok, as long as we give her normal feed and she is growing well, there is nothing to worry about. :) Initially, i am still worried if she is feeding enough as i have only latched her on for 8-15mins each time and not able to gauge how much she actully took. Now, she started to take expressed milk almost in her every feed after i started work. She drinks between 70ml - 120ml at each feed, at about 7 times a day. PD says the volume is ok. So happy and relieved to hear that. I think i will continue to give her expressed milk when i stopped working, at least i won't get paranoid if she is hungry whenever she cries. =D

(Baby half awake, heard her sucking thumb, went to feed her before i return to continue my blog)

She took 120ml expressed milk tonight, hehe..am going to bed very soon after i finished updating. Let me briefly update my weekend.

Sat:
Had breakfast with hubby at home. Hubby went out to work.
Bathed baby, feed her milk, tuck her to bed
Put our laundry to wash, handwashed baby's laundry, iron clothes, quick wipe of a window, wipe the floor.
Prepared and had lunch with hubby.
Baby awakes and talk to her for about an hour b4 she is fed and asleep again.
Out to Chinatown point to run errand and for dinner, short walk at Robertson Walk.
(Believe me, carrying 6.7kg around is no fun!)
Car-drive around Buona Vista see see look look around the area.
Home Sweet Home

Sun:
Went to Boon Lay for prata breakfast with hubby. Little one sleeping on my arms. (Didn't take stroller since it will be a eat & go)
Go back home bathe baby. Feed her and tuck her to bed.
Prepare fish porridge and had lunch with hubby.
Handwashed baby clothes. Hubby out for work.
Prepare dinner and had dinner with hubby.
Went Jurong Point for a short walk.
That ends the day with my blogging here!

I enjoyed my weekend with hubby and baby elyse. She is always with us wherever we go. Who says you cannot patoh when you have a baby??? Its an additional joy to us although it can be tiring bringing her around. =)

This is the quality life i've always wanted. =)

Stop blogging?

First entry for Year 2011!

Well, i am considering to stop my blog, as i find that i have simply nothing much to update, or rather lazy to turn on my pc and sit down for that few minutes to update my blog. What do you think?

Perhaps a quick update for the blog here.

My lovely girl, Elyse Lim was born on 18 Nov 2010, weighing only 2.36kg at her 37th week. She is now into her 3rd month, weighing at 4.89kg, height 54.6cm from our last checkup. She is really a dear to us even though we have been a slave for her feeds, diaper changes, bathes and the sleepless nights. Catch up more on her photos via my facebook!

Things are all going well as i can feel a great bonding between baby and myself by looking after her all by myself and of cause with the help of my dear hubby too. Going back to work at the end of Feb, so soon! How i wish i can be a SAHM! Have the intention of quitting liao, so we shall see yeah? hehe..

Till then, if i am still blogging.. =)

10th Anniversary

He has been a great boyfriend and hubby til now. I still love him to the bits! hehe..

Hope our relationship maintain this way til we both grow old together..

Happy 10th Year Anniversary, BB! =D

Philosophy of life

Philosophy of life

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village. A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long." they answered in unison.

Tourist: "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"

The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.

Tourist: "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

Fishermen: "We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children.... In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. We have a full life."

The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!
You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

Fishermen: "And after that?"

Tourist: "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City , Los Angeles , or even New York City ! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

Fishermen: "How long would that take?"

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.

Fishermen: "And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"

Fishermen: "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen.

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point of wasting twenty-five years?" asked the fishermen.

And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life, you may already be there! Be contented!

What a world~

Tongues wag everywhere.

Why do people likes to talk behind others?
Aren't they tired talking bad behind others?
Does talking behind people gives you great satisfaction and makes your day good?
Don't you ever think you aren't perfect and no one is perfect too?

When it is time to work, strive.
When it is time for joy, cheers.
Everyone has different timing to strive and to cheers,
Give and take, accept and returns.

Being a child is a blessing, but being an adult is complicating.

Believe in Karma.

This too will pass

Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them,

" Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every circumstances, in every place and in every time. Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me. Tell me is there any mantra?"

All wise men got puzzled by King's question. One answer for all question? Something that works everywhere, in every situation? In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested something which appeal to all of them. They went to king and gave him something written on a paper. But the condition was that king was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way, only then he'll have to see it. The King put the paper under his Diamond ring.

After a few days, the neighbors attack the Kingdom. It was a collective surprise attack of King's enemies. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. King had to fled on his horse. The enemies were following him. His horse took him far away in Jungle. He could hear many troops of horses were following him and the noise was coming closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing in the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it, he would be finished…and he could not return because it was a small road…From back the sound of enemy's horses was approaching fast. King became restless. There seemed to be no way.

Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read the message.

The message was - " This too will pass."

The King read it . Again read it. Suddenly something strike in his mind- Yes ! it too will pass. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my kingdom. I was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today, the Kingdom and all his pleasures have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. However when those days of luxuries have gone, this day of danger too will pass. A calm come on his face. He kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom. The revelation of message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forget about those following him. After a few minute he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the mountains and were not on that path.

The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regain his lost empire. When he returned to his empire after victory, he was received with much fan fare at the door. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being thrown on King from every house, from every corner. People were dancing and singing. For a moment King said to himself," I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to defeat me.: With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerging in him.

Suddenly the diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He open it and read it again: "This too will pass"

He became silent. His face went through a total change -from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness.

If this too is going to pass, it is not yours.
The defeat was not yours, the victory is not yours.
You are just a watcher. Everything passes by

We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life come and go. Happiness come and go. Sorrow come and go.

Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent ? They all come and pass away. Life just passes away.

There were friends in past. They all have gone.
There are friends today. They too will go.
There will be new friends tomorrow. They too will go.

There were enemies in past. They have gone.
There may be enemy in present. They too will go.
There will be new enemies tomorrow and......they too will go.

There is nothing permanent in this world. Everything changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks , all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. If there are problems in the present, they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away. Who are you in reality? Know your real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change with the time. However, there is something in you, which will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that unchangeable ? It is nothing but your true self.

You are just a witness of change. Experience it, understand it.

Fulfilling Weekend!

A fulfilling weekend spent.

Friday: Busy Busy...
Hubby came to fetch me from work as usual, then proceed to meet sis at Buona Vista to collect office chairs - letting go at $5 each only! Managed to squeeze in 3 office chairs into our 1.3L "mini" car after collapsing the back seats. After that, we went to commonwealth for dinner as recommended by the show 《煮炒来咯！》. We ordered 4 dishes just for the 3 of us! crazy right? until we cannot finish and dabao back the honey chicken pieces back to mum's place. The recommended dishes were quite delicious though.
After mum's place, we went to in-law's place for a while before meeting hubby's customer at Carabelle to collect keys. Their condo home is really windy and they have a huge christmas tree at the balcony which is taller than me! It was well decorated and lighted up, i love it! (as compared, what's my mini x'mas decoration at home....??)
Following that, we went to Tampines to pass the keys to hubby's colleague and by the time we returned home, it's already 12 midnight..SnoreZz..

Saturday:
Had lunch at home then meet bro in the afternoon and went back home to watch 《桃花小妹》then 《我猜我猜我猜猜猜》I'm a TV addict k.. hee..

Sunday:
Badminton session with hubby, bro, sis and our little monster nephew!
A full 2 hours session, no time to rest as we took turns to look after..or rather playing catching or entertaining our dear nephew, a playful little 33 months old.
It was really tiring but enjoyable. Dragged ourselves back home to bathe and to mum's place for dinner before hubby and myself proceed to westmall to take a walk, then back home at 10pm to watch "The Host" on Channel U as recommended by my colleague.

Monday: I'm on leave!
Went swimming at 11am (think my face sunburnt) whilst hubby went to the Gym at Safra. It cost only $70 for a 5-yr membership for spouse, so must make it worthwhile, hehe..Had a good set lunch at Jack's Place. Drive back home to settle some things and left for Bugis by train at around 3pm. 还太岁 then to Guan Inn Temple, shop at Bugis Junction and 313@Somerset. It's a new shopping centre near centrepoint and another shopping place TripleOne will be opening soon too. Personally, i feel that town area is now not the same as before. At least it is no longer a place with all branded boutiques meant for higher incomes, but to all ages.

313 is quite a big shopping mall with one level of Food Republic. Inside this Food Republic, there is this Teppanyaki section which we decided for dinner. It is a pity that they do not serve garlic rice which we liked and we concluded that Teppanyaki @ Bugis still taste better.

At last, we left Somerset by bus 502 at around 9.30pm and reached home at approximately 11.30pm.

Had a really fulfilling and enjoyable weekend! Sounds like going for tour yeah? haa..

What's next?

Someone ever asked me: "Are you going to work in xxx forever?"

I wonder too. Although it's a 8-5 job with nice environment, i couldn't find much satisfaction and fulfilment at work. There are too many layers of management, too many last minutes, too many uncertainties..

I often ask myself, should i take the first step to find a job of my interest? There are various factors to consider. I need courage to take this step.

Year 2010 is coming, let's see.

Temptation

Temptation, temptation.. should i or should i not...
hahaa..

Oh, The Temptation from Steve V on Vimeo.

At work.

Human are sensitive creatures. Complicating slightest thing.
There is no simplicity, no innocency and no mistakes should be made, to them.

A word or two kills.

Must be mindful of words used. I may not care, that is how you think, and not how i think. I live my way, i don't step onto your toes. Don't complicate things.
