Sticky as Glue

Wow... it has been sooo long since I last post. Well, I finally am back. 
It had been super duper busy at work. We always had plenty to do nearer the end of the year, which is really an irony. Not much time to do anything else after I get back from work. Between trying to spend more time with the gals and the hubby, the time left for anything else is minimum. I am glad I still find some me time in the wee hours to scrap. Well, I have scrapped quite a few LO during the Sept break, but have yet found the time to post it. 
Anyway, want to share a LO which I did sometime back. 

I love these 2 photos of meimei. Haha... one of which is her sulky look and the other is such a sweet smile on her face. Ever since she turned 15months, she had been very very sticky to me (I mean, reallllly sticky) especially at nites or when she is extremely tired. She does not allow anyone to touch or carry her. Nope, her daddy would not do too. So I would practically have to run in whenever she starts crying... and mind you, her cries are deafening. And because of all the running in and out of the room several times at nite, my scrappy momentum had suffered badly. :( 
I like this LO that I created. I had recently seen a few scrappers using twine and some other threads stuff in their LO with really stunning effects, so I thought, why not I tried that too. Hmm... I kinda like the effect that I created using the twine. I guess I am hooked, would be using this layering method more in my future LO. 
A lot have been going on in my mind recently. Need time to consolidate my thinking and reflect and see what I should do in the future. Of course, if I am allowed to choose freely, staying at home and able to scrap full time would really be ideal. But that would not be possible at this moment. I guess I would need to strike a balance in what I need to do and want to do at the present moment. 

Love you to the Moon and Back

(some close up of the LO)

(Love you to the Moon and Back - using mainly SC June Kit - Papermoon)

Have wanted to use this title to scrap a LO for the Longggggest time,but never seems to find the right photo. Well, with 2 kids under 5 and only 2 of us, it is difficult to get a good pic with me and both gals in. In fact, we have yet to shoot a reasonable clear family photo (besides the one at SAM)

Loves this photo taken at Festive hotel at Sentosa during the June break. Loves the somewhat funny look on mei mei and Atria's "one finger on the head" pose. She likes to post like this these days :). And myself who is trying to grab the gals and get them to take a shot with me before they run off ... The hubby was trying so hard to get the shot too, without taking my ugly feet in the shot too... hahaha...

Anyway, in this LO, I tried to use circles, which I am not very comfortable with. Well, I don't own a circle cutter and cannot cut straight. But I thought, I will just go with the flow and see how it will go. I also tried some layering using some scrap paper and manjong paper. I love the popping effect from the multiple layering :) Seems like I will go for this sort of layering more often. I like to think that this LO does not require to think for a long time. I just layer the paper as I feel like it. Not like in the past, I will spend a looooong time deciding on just a piece of paper to use . Hopefully I can scrap faster now since time is really a rare commodity for me. Well, I kinda like how the LO turn out, but I do hope to have more layering though.

I wanna be a Photographer

(Love the concentrated look of Atria)

We had recently purchased our DSLR, so we have been taking quite a number of photos. We used to own a SLR before the gals came, but since then we just relied on the normal digital camera. It is just too cumbersome to haul the DSLR out.

Anyway, after numerous attempt to take clear shot of the gals, we finally decided to invest in one good DSLR. Well, I would just say the money is well spent as we are now able (phew!! finally) to take good pic of the gals in action.

Thus, Atria been rather interested in taking her photos too. And we seems to have a number of spare camera on hand, thus the hubby decided to pass one for Atria to have a take at it. Well, not too bad for a start. I like the way she holds the camera and try to take a good shot of anything she sees. We have yet to see what are the things she shoot, but I just simply love her looks.

Don't you think she look rather cool?? Hahaha... I know I am biased, but hey, she is my gal!

Weekly Blessings

Wow! Time flies... and its already Tuesday...

Well, always wanted to post a weekly blessing post on Sun or Mon, but never made it. But its all rite, better late than never.

So for this week (or in fact last), I am blessed with:

Super Duper Long weekend, allowing me to spend more quality time with friends and family (in particular the hubby)

Presidential Election, for allowing us the privilege to cast our vote to decide the "President" for our country. And also becos of the Reservist duty that the hubby is down for. Well, it turned out that the duty for PE wasn't as bad as we thought. In fact, we were able to spend some quality time together :)

The rain, that cooled down the weather and also allowing us to spend some quiet time at home with the gals. (We tend to head out for activities on weekend, but because of the rain, we decided to stay at home over the weekend)

Technology, that literally made the world smaller, and allowing to catch up with a friend who is half way across the globe and knowing that she is all rite.

Colleagues and friends at work, who are always there to help out when there is an urgent need and always ready to give me a lift home... hahaa..

My mum, who willinging help to babysit while the hubby and I had some couple time together (Mum, u are the best!)

The hubby, who is amazed by the amount of scrapping stuff I have accumulated over these 12 months (since I started scrapping), and shakes his head on the time. But nevertheless, is still willing to go shopping for scrappy stuff with me and offer his advice when needed. I have always to do a layout just for the hubby (especially since his Bday is coming),but just never find the right photo to do it. Will take a while, I guess..

Weekly Blessings

I missed out on last week's Weekly Blessings post as I was simple zonked out after work each day.

So this week, I am blessed with:

National Day holiday, a good break for me to hang out with the family and meet up with friends whom I have sadly neglected. So much have changed since we last met, I was so glad I am able to meet up with them.

National oral exam, giving me the luxury to come home earlier and engage in some personal hobby.

Change of portfolio at work, although tough, but at least it gives me the freedom not to be trapped in that little conference room and making a judgement of others (something I hate to do all these while)

My new Nikon D7000 (or rather the hubby's) which allow me to take clear shots of my girls (finally!!) and document their growing everyday. I love it!!!

Scrappy inspiration, which came zooming into my heads, and for once I am able to create 3 LO in a week!

Sis in law who "volunteered" to babysit Atria, giving me some free time to chit chat with others. She has been extremely patient and is such a doting "gu ma" to the girls.

My girls, who are a constant source of inspiration for me and also provides endless joy and laughter into my life. I am amazed at how much they have grown over these months.

Atria, whom seems to have grown sooo much over the months. She is becomes much more mature and able to understand the needs of others. She is such a sensitive child.

The hubby, despite being down with flu is still as hands on with all the cooing and taking care of Atria.

Wow, I am so blessed! As always...

Cheeky Faces

(Mei Mei being very satisfied with her 'Beard Papa Cream Puff')

Mei Mei has always been rather cheeky, more so than her Jie jie. While at one moment, she will be screaming her head off, once she settled down, she can show u the cheekiest of the looks... and you can't really bring yourself to scold her after seeing her smiles.

These shots are taken after she had a taste of the beard papa cream puff. She was just screaming at the top of her voice a minute ago. But once the hubby fed her the cream puff, she was smiling like nobody biz too. Looks how cheeky she is!

I really hope she will remain as cheerful as she is now and being so friendly too. She says "Hi" and "Bye Bye" to anyone whom she encountered and those aunties and uncles love her for that. She is kinda funny, but she is my girl.

A Date with Walter

(A date with Walter. Taken outside SAM. Using mostly SC June Kit - Paper Moon)

(Some close up shots)

(Another close up shot)

As posted earlier, the hubby and I brought our gals to SAM one of the weekend and we had a blast of our time over there. This pic was taken outside SAM with their iconic figure - Walter the rabbit.

I love rabbit. Almost wanted to get some of the merchandises. There was this rabbit looking balloon that was really so cute, but its expensive too!! I decided to save the money to buy other stuffs hahaa...

Anyway, this LO was done after a looooooong break. Been wanting to scrap ever so much but there is always something else to do at work. Hmm,... anyway, last nite, I told myself... No more! Its enough, I need to get my "creative juices" flowing. And hey, this LO was completed in less than 2 hrs. (I practically took about 2 nites to complete one LO, depending how many times I need to run and pacify my girl if she wakes up crying) So here I was rather happy with it, but still feel like there was something missing :(

Anyway, my head now is brimming with scrappy ideas, just need to find more time to scrap... lol... and time is really a precious commodity nowadays...

Weekly Blessings

I am following this particular blog by a SAHM (who is also great at scrapbooking) and this mum had a weekly blog post on blessings. I thought I would follow her example and do a weekly lists of blessings too. So this is my first blog post on weekly blessings.

I am blessed with:

A great granny to my 2 gals who is always there for me whenever I need her help and support. Especially now since the hubby might need to be go overseas pretty frequent and often last minute.

My sis (who my gals warmly called yi ma ma) who is there to help ferry Atria home and to lend a helping hand to my mum and to me at times when everything seems crazy.

Short meetings and training at work, that allows us more free time to do our "own things" which have been piling up.

Friends from way back, who are always so accomodating and enthusiastic in organising gatherings and ensuring that I am not left out of the loop... since having both gals, my social circle has resolved around the hubby, my 2 gals and close families.

External trainers, for allowing me to see the beauty in many others, whom at other times might be hidden.

Harry potter, who accompany me faithfully for the past 11 years and providing endless entertainment till the very end. I am gonna miss it.

My 2 gals, for providing endless fun and laughter to our somewhat routine and boring life.

My ever so hands on hubby, who despite being so terribly tired, will read to Atria and ensure she is well taken care of at nite while I "lure" mei mei to sleep. The hubby has been incredibly understanding to my impatience and sometime rather curt and blunt reply.

Hey, I am truly blessed this week! :)

My Safety Blanket (aka Napkin)

(With her "safety blanket" while drinking milk)

(Fiddling with her napkin)

Mei mei has this perculiar habit since birth. She loves to rub her face and fingers with the white muslin cloths (we called this napkin) whenever she is drinking milk or going to sleep. I cannot remember when did we (my mum and I) introduced the napkin to her, but for as long as I can remember, she has been having her napkin with her all the while. I guess it serves the purpose of being a Safety Blanket, just that it is not exactly a blanket. Talking about safety blanket, her jie jie never really have this problem until mei mei was born (and that will warrant a complete post on its own)

When she is going to sleep or feeling super duper tired, she will look for the napkin. Though she can't really say it yet, but when she is shown the napkin, she will grab it and bury her face in it, and at the same time, exclaim with delight! Thus ever since she is born, we have to bring at least 1 napkin with us whenever we go. I have never worry about not bringing napkin before. The napkin has become more important than her milk powder and pacifier... haha...

Phew! Mei mei does not really recognise the "smell" of the napkin, so every few hours we will change the napkin that she is holding on to. Just cannot tolerate the eewwy smell of all her saliva(since now she is starting to drool more as she is teething badly), milk and sometimes perspiration on the napkin. Shudder!!

I am trying to distract her from the napkin by introducing a REAL blanket to her at nite. But mei mei does not really take to the idea yet. She is currently lying on the blanket while holding on to the napkin at the same time. And sometimes she wants 2 napkins!

I am just wondering when will she outgrown this!! :)

Ice Cream!!

(@ Bens & Jerry Ice Cream Vivocity)

Last Sunday, the hubby and I brought our gals all the way to Demsey Hill for breakfast at Bens & Jerry. Our initial plan was to have brunch and followed by some ice cream. But when we finally arrived there, we were rather unexpected by what we see.

We wanted to go to some places that are not our usual hangout thus I goggled for kids friendly places in Singapore and saw this link to Bens & Jerry Restuarant as one of the most kids friendly places in Singapore. What I had in mind (from the pic I saw on the net) was a big playground with a vintage looking bus whereby the kids can play their hearts out. But what greeted us was totally different. Well, we were not disheartened by it and rather really had a nice Big breakfast (we will be back again I think). After that, we wanted to go for a walk around Demsey Hill (as that was our first time there too) but the heat was rather unbearable (especially with 2 young kids)

So in the end, we made our way to Vivocity as we promised Atria we will be having Bens & Jerry Ice Cream. Well, the ice cream we had and it was yummy. We managed to take a number of photos of Atria especially (we needed the photos for her kinderland homework) and after the ice cream, we went to the playground to let the gals run around.

It was tiring day for both gals as Demsey Hill and Vivocity were quite a distance from home. But I am glad we made it there cos the gals do get to see more things rather than the usual things at our usual hangouts.
We should be out more often over the weekends, and I am just loving the times spent with them (no doubt it was really tiring too!)

USA Bound

(USA Bound - A mini notebook for her to document her next phase of life)

One of my colleagues at work is going to the US soon. So I made this mini notebook for her to document her phase of life.

Talking about this colleague of mine LT, I can still remember the initial years when she just joined us. The rest of us were rather skeptical of her and a few others who came along at the same time. Hahaha... those were the days.

As years passed, we have grown closer. Not to the very close type, but close enough to share common hobby, secrets etc. We have worked together for many occasions too, and through all these, I truly admire her dynamism and dedication to whatever that is entrusted upon her.

I truly wish she will have an enriching journey in the USA, although I am surely going to miss her too.

So smiley

(Having fun at the Changi Airport)

Mei Mei is one gal who is definitely different from her jie jie. While Atria seldom cries when she was much younger, mei mei is one who screams at the top of her voice. But she is also much more smiley too.

When mei mei is in a happy mood, she is really soooo adorable. Loves the way she likes to interact with people and her eyes will grow wide with delight. She is also easily excitable haha.... I love her smiles too. Always make my heart melt even though I am super stressed with her constant high pitch screaming :(

With her along, I was initially worried whether I will be able to spend equal time with both of them. Since Atria is also rather attention seeking at the moment. I am very grateful to my mum who is always there for us (even on weekends when either the hubby or I need to work sometime) and is showering mei mei with all the love when Atria cling to me. The hubby also played a huge part too. Without his support and being so hands on, I will not be able to juggle my work and family till now.

Time passes so quickly. Mei mei is already coming to 15 months. She is walking rather well now. And its seems like yesterday when I delivered her at home. ...

Hard Work Paid Off?

(Working really hard at home)

About a month ago, I spent the whole of youth day holiday and burnt several nites of midnite oil to complete an assignment at work. I was thinking was all this hard work worth the effort? Or is it just going to be another complete waste of my precious time? Well, I got the answer 2 days back.

At the beginning of the workshop, I was still rather apprehensive about myinterpretation of the assignment given. Has I interpreted it correctly? Is it detailed enough? Can I defend my case? I was worried sick about some of the sections that were not done by me (as we divided up our portion to work on it) and how am I going to present it when I am not even convinced myself. My worry and fear was aggravated by the fact that I saw my other colleagues shot down flat by the consultant (who of course were supposed to help us).

My group presented last during the workshop. We were not even sure whether we get the chance to present. But I am so glad we did.

The hours spent on working on this assignment paid off. My work was given the thumbs up by both the consultants. I am so happy!!!

This is a defining moment to me. Haha... As I mentioned earlier that I really needed a booster in my work.. and I think this is it! I just needed the affirmation that I can do my job well. I needed it badly as I just switched my portfolio and was at quite a loss to what to do. Woah! This assignment allows me to tell myself the big YES, I can do it! Ha Ha Ha...

I am still on cloud 9. But for how long will this booster last? I really dont know. With so much changes happening in my workplace nowsaday, I really dont know. I just wish it will last for as long as I need it.

My Superhero

(some rare moments of fun @ Mac with all her gor gor)
(Gor Gor entertaining her)

(My superhero - Look at her big swollen eye)

2nd Jan 2011.

Atria had such bad eye bacterial infection, coupled with prolonged high fever. (more than 10 days). She was admitted to KKH. As a mummy, I was so super worried about her. The hubby was outstation at the moment. I felt so desperately alone.

My dear Atria did me proud. She did not cry or even made the slightest sound while the nurses get the plug (for IV) on her. I named her my superhero. With the plug on, she was rather limited in the movement and was slightly affected by it. But, she still behaved exceedingly well.

We stayed there for a total of 4 days. She was totally bored as there is nothing much to do there. We must say big thank you to all the aunties and uncles who came and showed there support and they also brought games and videos to entertain her (also relieving me so that I could go and bath or have a short break) :)

Atria survived the ordeal, which I am glad. I learnt so much from my girl. The little ones have such extraordinary strength that the parents cannot imagine. They have grown much stronger (not without the trauma etc) after all these challenges. As parents, we have so much to learn from them. And I am still learning from them every single day.

Singapore Arts Museum

(Laying the track for the trains - note the tracks are not connected haha..:)

(Busy at work)


(Permission Train Station - That's the station name according to Atria :)

We made a trip down to the Singapore Arts Museum last sunday after looking at my sis photo. This is our 2nd trip there and compared to the 1st, Atria had really grown up and enjoyed the museum activities much more than the previous time. I can still remember she even cried at one of the station due to the fear of the scrotch tape :(

Most of the activities were fun and engaging but she had a blast at the Glass Hall when she was allowed free play with all the available materials. Well, she spent most of the time at fixing the train station and laying all the track. Guess she was inspired by the Thomas & Friends train set that her Yuhan jiejie showed her the previous day. When asked what's the name of the train station, she gamely said "Permission Station!" Hahaha... what was taught in school did sink in her i guess :)

We spent quite a fair bit of time at SAM, cos we also happened to meet my sis and my nephews whom Atria is rather close with. They played and Mei Mei also had her fair share of play "walking" around at the Glass Hall. Well, she could not appreciate most of the activities yet but did have some fun at the Dearest Mummy section.

After SAM, we went over to Raffles City for a very late lunch before heading back home. After almost the whole day out, we stayed home and enojyed a quiet night, "recuperating" before work starts again the next day.

Hmm... I would say that with the gals growing up day by day, bringing them out is getting easier (Still can remember the initial periods of handling both gals out :( I am really looking forward to more outdoor activities for the 2 gals, as there is the time we can spend some quality time with them.

Exploring Changi Airport

(At T2 Gallery. Mei Mei at the half crawling learning to walk stage)

(Mei Mei attempting to make the move to stand up)

Since having mei mei, T2 and T3 have been one of our favourite hangouts. Not only becos it is airconditioned (to avoid the unbearable heat), it is actually quite friendly for kiddos learning to walk and still in that half-crawling-going-to-walk stage.

Almost every other week, hubby and I would bring our 2 gals to T2 or T3 for either breakfast or dinner. We used to hang out at T3, but due to its recent closure (for renovations), we had to turn our attention to T2,w hich is not too bad too.

We were at the Gallery one of the weekends, and Mei Mei then was learning to walk and still half crawling. Well, Mei Mei is one gal who is rather different from her jie jie. She is definitely more gung-ho, and won't take no for an answer (or else, she will scream her head off!!) She is now coming to 15 months and still not steady walking on her own yet. Well, we will see how and when she is ready to move on from here.

You make me Smile

(Use my favourite twine to embellish the LO and some hidden journalling too.)
(Love this tag. Hand stitched by Amy Tangerine from SC June Kit)

(The whole LO. Using mainly June Kit from SC, with some other embellishment)

She make me Smile.

Finally managed to complete a layout after a long time.

Been trying to scrap more regularly. Currently, I can only scrap while my 2 girls sleep at nite. And that is only when they sleep early and I dont have mountain of work to be done for work. So that gives me about 2 hours every nite to scrap before the fatigue overtook me and I need to crawl into bed.

Well, this photo of Atria was from a long time ago, before Mei Mei comes. Remember we were at Labrador Park just spending some quiet time together as a family. Loves her smile and her curly hair. Such rare moment to capture her shot. (She refused to look at the camera most of the time)

I am contemplating whether should I cut her hair cut since I love her curls at this length, but on hindsight, the messiness that accompany this make me think twice. Hmm... still thinking.

She is special...

(At the entrance of USS. Atria just woke up after her nap...)

I loveeee these photos of Atria with her papa. Potrays such closeness between "my papa" (that's what she said of her papa these days) and her. Love it!!!

Atria has a special place in my heart. Really special place...

Hubby and I tried for a couple of years before Atria came to us. And as a child, she really gave us a hell of time (from her birth to her frequent night feeds, heart murmur problems,... and the list goes on), but we are superly happy to have her with us. She has brought so much joys and happiness especially to me, (although there are times of anger, frustration too... ) and she is the core of what I do now... my source of inspiration....

She is growin up so fast .... i just hope i can have more quality time to spend itwith her....

She is special to me.

Scrap Blogs

I started to surf scrapblogs rather frequently after I took up scrapbooking 1 year ago. These scrapblogs are not only a sense of inspiration for me, they also give me very interesting tips and techniques relating to the scrapping world.









I must say I scrap in isolation. No crop parties, crop buddies, no time to attend classes (I would love to if I have more time). I pick up scrapbooking techniques through youtube and all the scrap blogs that I surfed.









One thing that I notice is all the different scrappers that I chanced upon, knew exactly where their supplies came from, such as the brand name, which collection etc. I am amazed. I never really notice which paper did I use, which brand they come from. I only knew the paper match layout.









I am just wondering: is it important to know which brand, which collection the paper or products are from? Would I take note of all the supplies that I use? I realise that on most of the layouts, I handmade a number of the embellishments (to save costs), probably that is the reason why I never take notice of all the supplies I use.









Just some random thoughts about scrapbooking.

It's here!

The news that I am waiting for arrive this morning. Well, not unexpected, I did not make it. But strangely, I am not that affected about it. I don't really feel very saddened by the news that I was not successful. Perhaps, it is a blessing in disguise.

After the interview session about 3 weeks ago, I already had the "not-so-good" feeling about it. I was thinking hard about it, maybe this is not really my cup of tea. Having to adapt to a totally new environment is rather difficult for me (like I said, I am reluctant to) at my age now.. hahaha...

Well, just hope everything will turn out fine no matter what lies ahead.

Changes

I am anxiously waiting for some news to arrive. This is the final week which I will receive the news and it will determine the journey ahead.

I am reluctant to make much changes to my work for the past decade. Comfort Zone? I guess so. Human beings are reluctant to change, and so am I. However, with the influx of "initiatives" and "changes" in my work environment, it is seriously time for me to make that reluctant move.

It is a BIG step ahead for myself. Totally not me at all. But I am glad in a way that I did try. Well, the long awaited change might not happen ultimately, but I just do not want to regret in the future.

I am not too sure whether the change will be good or for the worst. Difficult to tell in these times. I am just hoping for the better.

Well, lets just hope whatever news that I will receive will be "good"!

Hoping...

Finally... Its over!!

Last week was a super crazy week at work. Had to deal with all the other peripherals and yet neglected our core business. Last minute additional job assignments (that was not stated in the job spec) and had to deal with all sorts of complaints and requests. Hate this kind of feeling. Felt so lousy at not doing my job right. Brimming with lots to comment on during the AAR.

Well, I am still glad that the major event is finally over. Been talking about it since long time ago and nothing concrete was planned until Feb this year. At least its THE Event of the year, and we should (I hope) we will be able to take a breather finally.

Somehow I don't feel that super excited this time. I used to. Alwyas have the tingly feeling especially during this kind of major events at work. But somehow or rather I kinda lost the feeling. Why? I had a chat with one of my closest colleagues, who, coincidentally also felt the same way as me. Strange. Which led me to rethink about the importance of LEADERSHIP and all the others that come along with it. Wah! What a big word.

I had never had much interest in LEADERSHIP. I am always a reluctant leader, being pushed to be. But this major event and all the other mini ones that came before this, really forced me to think carefully about it.

If I was given a choice again, probably, I will not choose the route I am taking now.

Can I turn back time?

I want to SCRAP!

Since I started scrapping last year, my whole mind seems to be totally consumed by it. Is it normal? Or am I the only one who feels this way?

I am not the super creative kind of person. In fact, I failed Arts while I was in Primary School. But I know I like craftwork. I am always interested in learning new craft such as knitting, cross stitch, clay modelling etc. But apart from a few of the cross stitch pieces that I successfully completed, I have not much luck in the other areas.

But scrapbooking is totally different. Through scrapping, I find an avenue to create something that I like and am totally proud of it myself. I never thought I can do something like scrapbooking. Though my layout is not fantastic still, but I really like what I have created. Not only does it allow me to create something, it also helps me to preserve the sweet memories of those dearest to me (since I am also rather lazy in arranging photos for photo album)

I wish I can scrap more often, but so far I can only do so while my gals are sleeping. I am hoping for the time to come when I can have more time of my own to scrap. For now, whatever time I can steal to scrap is precious to me.

I wanna scrap!!!

1 week down

It had been a crazy week at work. Had to deal with so many last minute changes while meeting the almost impossible deadline. All because of a major celebration at the end of next week. Somehow, the celebration doesn't have anymore meaning to me. Why so?

To deal with all the ever increasing tasks at hand, colleagues and I went out to have a "feast" on Fri noon time. Ya.. its really a feast for surviving the week with no major "injuries". Ha Ha... well, we kinda of decided to have a "feast" every Fri to last till the end of the year.... This is the bonding we have in times of "crisis" at work??

While dealing with the ever increasing tasks at hand in preparation for the celebration, we somehow neglected the core business we are in. Are we then shortchaining our customers? What is really at stake? I wonder...

I used to be really motivated about work... but somehow I kinda lost the drive this year.... Initially I thought its because of the long break that I took, but it had been half a year, and I still did not get the motivation back. Was it because of the portfolio that I am handling now? I am not too sure. Or can I blame it on my RO for not nurturing me? I do not know. I just hope I can find my motivation for work, in whatever job that I am doing. Wish me luck.

If not for their Granny

My 2 gals were ill recently. DD1 had such prolonged high fever that was really worrying and that was coupled with a recuring eye infection that somehow refuse to go away. DD2 followed with vomiting and fever not long after. Sigh!

In times like these, I somehow wish that I am able to be a SAHM to my lil gals. It was a heartache having to see them going through such pain and you wish you could be with them 24/7. But the reality sets in and you know that you have to report to work no matter what.

Thus, I am really grateful to my mum -- their granny, who is always there for them whenever we needed her. She is really just a phone call away. If not for their granny, I will not be able to go to work with peace. I know that my gals are well taken care of when they are with her.

I am glad that my gals are close to their granny (although I do feel somewhat jealous too at times), and hope that the close knittedness will remains even when they grow up.

If not for their Granny... Life will not be as beautiful as it is...

Gettin Started...

Another attempt of blogging...

Havng too many thoughts that requires an outlet...

Hope the passion last beyond the test of time...

Let's wait and see...
