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...

Life

What's the real meaning of life? People always say that when one's life is lived to the fullest, there shouldn't be much regrets. Do you agree? I don't quite agree. Perhaps I'm greedy or somewhat naive. I believe you need to have lived supposedly long enough to have led a fulfilling life. To be able to experience the things you want to do, to have misses and gains, to be sad and happy, to have dealt with pain and losses, to have struggled and to have done so much more. And these would require at least 60 to 70 years, no? Of course, there are always those who have lived beyond those ages and still behave like a child or have led a meaningless life. And of course, there are those fortunate ones who would have achieved more than others at an earlier age. Indeed, age is a number and shouldn't determine one's life. So really, how do you define life? How do you deal with the losses? And I'm talking about losing your loved ones, losing faith, hope, love....

Never Thought Of

I never thought I'd be sitting there saying those things. How does it feel to be the other woman or man? I was shocked. Disappointed. Angry. I guess the truth is always more difficult to accept when you least expected it. Why & how did it turn out this way? I've watched so much TV yet didn't realise some episodes are for real. I don't have to watch the last episode to know what's the ending like. Good luck. What will you do if you realise you're pregnant after you end a relationship/marriage? Will you a) be a single mum b) try to work things out with your ex bf/husband for the sake of the baby c) abort the baby and keep mum about the matter I'll most likely go for (c). There's no right or wrong option isn't it?

Priceless

One of the best times are those spent with the two little cuties. They really made my day and melt my heart so often than not. Watching you two grow up is really a joy although it must be painful at times for those who literally brought you up, ha. We may selfishly wish the kids never grow up and stay at this 'bite-size' but we do want them to be well, don't we? Thank you both for brightening up my days, cheering me up unknowingly when I'm down and making me happier when I'm already having a blast.
