Change.....

Yes...... I am greatly affected by the demise of our friend...

It has also triggered a lot of thinking about pple around me, and somehow it has changed the way i perceive certain things in life...

I have gladly taken things for granted very often...especially of the pple around me...

Like...hubby will always be there to support me...
...kids will always be around...
... MIL will always be glad to take care of the kids when me n hubby is not available...
...parents will always be there...especially during weekends when we have our weekly family gathering....
...jobs/income will be there.....

These days...i hug my kids more often...less scolding too i guess....
I have more patience with hubby......less fussy with how MIL do things around the hse....
Help around more in parents' hse on weekends...
I hope to be able to get around to contact more old friends rather than getting updates thru facebook :p

I am beginning to think seriously about the question : "If I know that THE DAY will come soon, what would i do....."
Insurance? Education? Financial security for the family..... lots of lots of items.....

I also hope that I will have the same strength Yanmei has when the day come.......

14 February 2009

Today is Valentine's Day...... it's also the day I lost a friend, Mr Wong Teck Chin....

Wong was once my 'small' boss...somekind of leader in our small drafting team....
That was > 10 years ago...

We got married on the same day 10 years ago and our colleagues were so torn as they cannot decide whose wedding to attend.....
We even went for our honeymoon together to Australia....that was fun....
We also say 10 years later we should go for our 2nd honeymooon together...but that day will never come now.... :'(

I will always remember him as someone who is intelligent, brave, fun, positive, understanding...and so much more.......yes...sacastic at times too :p....

Like what Yanmei has say....these are things that is beyond our control....and I hope and pray for the best for his Wife and 2 little girls...

May You Rest in Peace......

HDB

Very frustrated that we cannot buy new HDB.....due to the stupid ceiling stuff...

The income ceiling has been there for almost 14 years liao!!!!
What are all these govt/HDB pple doing???
Cost of public housing has increased by so much since 14 years ago...

Couple earning S$8000 and less can afford to finance a flat that is costing around S$700,000 meh???? Unless they have very good papa bank or mama bank to help.....

Pple like us in the middle income group is like 不上不下... cannot buy new flat, and cannot afford pre-owned flat due to the very high price above valuation.... unless we want to settle for those ulu ulu 鸟不生蛋 area like Juring extension, etc...arrrrgh.....

And the govt was assuming that we should be able to buy pte housing...which has total area of 98m2, and is selling at 1 million dollars...arrrgh......

为什么不让我们中多多....... arrrgh.......

Think is the the general feelings of the middle income family..... :'(

恭喜发财! Happy 牛 Year!

Here's wishing everybody a Happy 牛 Year!

Today is the first day of work for me after CNY, and chu8 is supposed to be a good day to start work...

Was reading in the newspaper this morning, which mentioned that the last time market situation was bad was in 1997...12 years ago......and was also supposed to be a Happy 牛 Year!

This 牛 year started off with various companies across the world announcing retrenchment, brankrupcy, and Qimonda has also announce for insolvency..which has turned in bankruptcy too today.....

According to the astrology book that i bought, this is supposed to be a good year for me...and that i'll travel a lot this year. If this is true, then i'm really looking for ward to it....but that would also means that there'll be a big hole in my pcoket.....

My DS and DD are supposed to 犯太岁 this year.... hopefully the year won't be too bad for them this year....

Well....I can only hope for the best for everybody, to have good health, and be 开开心心 this year..

HUAT AH!! .... aka.... 发啊!

Mini Me

Was looking at the photos of my little girl tat i took when i let her try on the new dress tat the wife of a nice colleague made.....

...so pretty... :D

...general feedback from the others are " Oh....mini Mommy....."

It's really wonder how one person can look so much like another.....genes...

Thinking back....that was the same remark we heard when we put DH's photo beside DS's photo :)....We have fair genes :)...DD look like Mommy, DS look like daddy....

HAppy New YEar! It's 2009!!

So....i've started my year lazing around at home.. :p

No need to go back to office yet due to shutdown :s

.....arrrgh..... din want to face the tons of clothes that is piling up in the carboard....

as expected...after the long holiday, DD refuse to go to school, and make a scene outside the school screaming.. 'I want to go homeeeee......'
DS seems to have gotten used to go to school...hee.....

This year, i've signed up GUG for DD....but think she felt quite bored on the first lesson as i think she may be one of the older kids in the class :p ... let's see how she'll behave next week....

also...hopefully DS has come to terms that he'll need to attend the class at ICR..... with or without tears :p.... but he was doing quite well yesterday, and even say that the teacher praise him for good reading...hope that will keep him motivated to attend the classes....

I am now thinking if i should also sign him up with Kumon for maths....arrrgh......i've become a kiasu mum... :(

It's Moving Day!!

So....today is THE day that i'll move...

Have already moved 4 small A4 size boxes over this morning...

Think will have 7 more to go...:p
Think the security guards must be wondering why is tis woman driving in and out of the building so many times today :p

Well, the items were accumulated over 15.5 years!!! Think tat it's already quite impressive that I was able to 'squeeze' them into 11 small boxes...:p

....well.....i am feeling really down today..... so will move really really slow...... :D
