I was there

Bridal shop. Marina Barrage. Hospital.

The day before Good Friday, I was at the bridal shop.
After 4hrs of trying 10 over gowns, I'm happy to find what I like.


I've always wanted something plain but this first gown I tried proved too 'salah'. Perhaps it's a little loose so not much of a shape here - like a piece of cloth wrapped around me aye?


I know I can't take halter but might as well give it a try. A no-no too.


This is really pretty. From the front that is. The back has this layer or folded flap that makes one's butt looks huge!

It's really an amazing feeling wearing one and you have to be or have been a bride to know what I'm talking about. Am looking forward to the day :)

Then came Good Friday (rainy) weekend where we were so persistent in making it to Marina Barage despite the rain. We were very jinxed I tell you. On our first attempt, we were at the entrance watching the rain, with the kids sleeping soundly behind. On our second attempt, the sun was kinder and stayed for half an hour or so. This is Botanical Garden all over again. It's also a sign I should stay indoor.


First attempt. Kids were happy to be out. (Of course la, can buy toys, eat whatever food they like and don't have to follow Mummy for shopping)


Jinxed weather no. 1.


Waiting for food at Han's.


2nd attempt.






Jinxed weather no. 2.


Me after clearing all the food.

Then came 17th, the (sort of) dreadful day. For my mum that is.
Indeed, it didn't start off well.
This late twenties chubby ah lian elbowed my mum in the bus, cursed her and showed her the middle finger when she was many many steps away from us on the escalator. My mum cursed her too and I kinda regret not going after her to confront her. It happened too quickly and I didn't know who was at fault but I was utterly shocked. The last I saw all these was when I was in secondary school. Amazing sight I tell you. And that face of hers... ugly is an understatement.

Anyway, I spent about 10hrs in the hospital and I'm really clumsy in taking care of her.
At least I (hand)washed and ironed the clothes this afternoon. I also heat up food for us.

It takes a lot of courage to be wheeled into the surgery room. Not that there's a choice at times but it must be the last resort I think. It's only day 2 and there's certainly pain so I hope the next 1 month will pass quickly so she can be spared the discomfort. May be a blessing in disguise since she can finally rest and let us 'take charge'. One of the toughest job/role in the world is a mother's I dare say so love all your mummies!



Going for my 2nd shower... The weather is horrible.
Lucky Mr. Grumpy is enjoying 19 degree celcius in Shanghai.
But that gungdo was at H&M and didn't know what to buy for me!
Husband I have...

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

Out with brother

We look alike, don't we? Something small for ourselves :) We had wanted to go to Bishan but didn't think there's much to do so we went Orchard instead. It's been a while since Mr. Grumpy dislikes going to crowded town. Was thinking hard what I wanted for my super belated birthday treat and thought of the Korean restaurant in Chinatown... So off we went. Kimchi pancake Seafood steamboat - yummy! Rice cake before & after - barely touched because we over ordered! After dinner, it was reminiscing at OG. I had a great time thanks to my brother.  More to come :)
