Recollection, Realization.

It feels great to be home!:)

I have decided to give my blog a little new look (almost wanted to change to another blog link xD) to signify a real beginning (and better change) for me and my life:) 

Just in case for those who will not seeing me that often in the future (and  that I might be too busy to contact you), hope that my blog can be another connection between me and you. Of course, I hope I will be able to hear about your life in some way or another too:)

Although it is a mere 12-day Europe trip, I felt that it was pretty long, probably like a few weeks. Sounds like I had missed home badly! xD Anws I would give a pat on my own shoulder bcoz I have finally stepped out of my comfort zone and experience different ways of life:) Although there are cl and his family, as well as mq around during this trip, I felt some sense of accomplishment of being more independent during this trip:) Most importantly, it feels awesome to have gained richer insights about life as well as realized about how fortunate I am living in Singapore:) I suddenly feel the urge to go for solo overseas trip to explore and experience greater things out there..may I have the courage to do so one day xD

Feeling like I have been living in my own dream for the past 12 days, I had been trying to put things into place and catching up what I have missed. I have also taken this time to read through my and other people's previous blog posts again. I found myself smiling, tearing and reflecting while I was reading them. Some posts have brought back some of the happy and sweet memories, while other posts have made me teared bcoz they reminded me of  how much I have taken things for granted and not cherishing them as what I hope to fulfill as part of my new year resolution. There are also some posts that make me reflect on the ways I have done things and perspectives I have for certain issues previously.

Things will never be perfect, but they can become better if we look from different perspectives and learn from past experiences. 

I will never be perfect, but I hope to always show some efforts and appreciation to the many little things in life.

Please do, moOn.

Motherhood.

  [Inspired by Annette to pen down postpartum thoughts] There is no sugar coating of the fact that the '4th trimester' and beyond has been the toughest one thus far. One thing about motherhood is that there will countless of adjustment to adapt to. Just when I thought that I have adjusted pretty well to the new routine, and to the little human, another waves of adjustment came along. My patience has been really put to test in motherhood, and am learning to cope with the mental stress. My parents have always said that I love to 'Pa Pa Zhao' (go everywhere), because I really do - catching up with friends, doing handmade stuff, and going on local staycay and overseas trip. The start of motherhood has  led to me 'mourning' about the loss of my freedom to go out anytime (especially during this vacation), and self-judging my declined efficiency to complete the tasks that I planned to do. My thought was moody and sometimes, grey. Then, one of the conversations in the...

A Precious Milestone.

 It has been a long while since I last posted about my rant about work. Fast forward to a year on, things have become more exciting and has been a roller coaster ride with the arrival of our baby, Hong Yi <3 I was thankful that the pregnancy journey was overall a pleasant one, surrounded with care and concern from people around me. Indeed, I felt like being treated like a 'queen' hahaha. I was 小感动 to meet  rare strangers who would step up to ask the other strangers to give up seat for me on MRT. The multiple visits to Dr Khoo's clinic were also pleasant and exciting because I got to see the baby scans (although some tests would make me feel a little jittery xD). The labour and delivery process was a whirlwind when Hong Yi decided to arrive as a pre-national baby. Despite the pain from contraction and pushing when HY's head was still stuck, I was thankful for Dr Khoo's swift action to get me out of the distress quickly. I will not forget his comment made about me,...

A post left in draft.

"You are so kind," the maggie mee boy muttered.  I was surprised to hear that, and I asked him to repeat himself again.  "You are so kind." "Oh, why did you say so?" "You let me do what I want." The old me would be feeling soooo happy to hear such a compliment.  However, I realised I don't really feel that way. Instead, I was curious to find out what had made him say that. I later made sense that he has hardly encountered much kindness acts from others as he is always being scolded by others.  And my action during that session might have made him feel that he is being treated nicely and he appreciated that. Thank you for reminding me to be kind.
