my motivator

I was in early conference meeting this morning... I didn't even realise when did R's birdie came to my workstation...

R left her fav new toy with me to keep me going for the day. 🥳

20 years ago...

We chatted on MSN, followed by some smses exchanged... Then, dear asked me out this day 20 years ago, before I flew with a team of student group from TP to Kerala, India...

We met at Bugis and went for some snacks at MOS Burger.

Twenty years later, it was a perfect weather in the morning to visit any park... Enjoy family fun... 

And back at home when the sun decided to scorch a little... Some complaining about my messy drawer as I was writing this post 😂

I love every moment, as long as he's safe by my side. 🥰🥳🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

missing dear

Despite sitting by his side for two days, it was still depressing to arrive a quiet home and hitting the cold bed at late hours.

Hoping for the best. Get well soon. Missing dear dearly. And so are the kids 🥰😭

the pain after the fun...

After a 3D2N staycation at a wonderful hotel, dear's body decided to extend his staycation after just a day of full blast intense stress that cumulated over the past years... In one day... He's right brain and left body decided to take a strike! 

He woke up with servere headache at the back of his head and down to the back of his neck.

Then he had some heartache at his chest while he was helping me with laundry in the sofa.

When walking W to school, dear started to experience numbness on his left arm. We didn't think so anything until when I looked at his face as we were chatting, I realised his left face was slightly droopy. That's when he told me that his left face was experiencing bit of numbness.

Okay... Nothing sound right. I insisted that he see a doctor regardless of his ever busy schedule. Everything can wait, except his health that's finally making noises after all these years of overworking... That can't be ignored!

Children below 13 years are not allowed at the ward. So we had to do video conferencing whenever they dropped by. It's been two days since the kids last seen their dad in person. They are missing him dearly.

First night

Second night

BTW, this was dear the moment he got his laptop adaptor... 

Even though I prepared him a good read for his staycation... Dear.. u better pick the right activity... Or Mr Obama will keep laughing at you!!

when we prayed too hard ..

We missed the fine print about pre-booking for access to the infinity pool at MBS, hence we didn't manage to reserve a slot for that during our 3D2N staycation at MBS over the weekend.

Then, dear jokingly said that he would pray for rainny days so those who managed to get a slot will not be able to swim as well.

I was a joke that came true... It turned out that we could hardly visit anywhere with that level of downpour.

Although the waiting time for registration was frustrating due to lack of clarity on the new SOP... We had a wonderful stay.

Kids... Enjoy your holiday!! 🥰🥳

成熟-ing 2020

The day is not about me. 

It's about my parents who gave birth to me few decades ago...

It's about my husband who endured my imperfections for the past decades...

It's about my kids who have been teaching me how to be a better daughter to my parents, how to be a better sister to my siblings. Also, my husband demonstrating to me how to be a selfless and loving spouse.

Long story short, we ditched work (well we thought so...) and spent time with our loved ones... Just like my loved ones spent time with me 🥳🥰

We ate and ate... From breakfast to lunch to dinner and to supper! 🎉😬

Heavenly Wang

Wimbly Lu

Swensens

And BTW, we spot this mobile work capsule in the mall... Kinda interesting...

After 10pm, RPW sang me bday songs in three languages... The candle was almost gone... 🤣

The gifts from my lovely RPW...🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🥰😍

My gift to mum, a small pot of red florals... 🎈

Thank you, for the well wishes and time spent tgt.  🙏🏻🎊😳

present with love, by installment

Thank you, R. Mummy is wearing it to work today! 🥰

cold weekends

Couldn't remember when it was so cold in Singapore. Few years ago, when walking in the street felt colder than when we were in the fully air-conditioned office...

The chill had returned but not for many consecutive days. Better than none. 

Sat night, Dear brought us to Marina Sq to chillax. We played the crocodile game and loser had to dance. 🙄😬🥳

The mall was already blasting Christmas carols in the beginning of Nov, trying to brainwash us and I think Daiso did it! We finally bought our own "Christmas 🌲" after so many years...

 

Yah, we wouldn't buy if it's bigger than this size. Hahahaha!! 🤣

Sunday morning was sunshine after the rain. The sky was still gloomy but the playground was inviting! 

Dinner at grandpa's place was yummilicious! 🥰😁😍

Third attempt of rotiboy. Soft but couldn't match with the strong coffee aroma rotiboy which I tried long long ago... 🤪

Mega playground

The rewards after two weeks of last minute hardwork to get with her first graded examination... Mega playground!!! it's still mega even after closing off two of the play areas.. 

Lulu and I were stationed at the "head" and the "tail" of the playground each, so that they won't get out of the boundaries.  And got "accidentally" brought away by strangers. Keke... In short, we hardly moved about... baby sitting with just our eye power 🤣🤣

It was awesome play... Because they wouldnt stop. Thank God that it showered all of the sudden despite the hot sunny day. So we manage to break the game logically and left the mega playground. Hohoho 🙏🏻
