Back to September:)

As always, September is my all-time favorite month:) Not only bcoz it's my birthday month, but there's teachers' day and September holiday:)

This was my very first time celebrating teachers' day as a teacher!:D I felt really excited and had looked forward to it very much. I am really touched by my form class students, who gave me birthday surprise early in the morning with sweet messages on the board, as well as the teachers' day presents. The girls were really sweet, and their gratitude towards the teachers were overwhelming yet heartwarming. The teachers' day message written by my form class touched the most bottom of my heart, and made me realize the teacher that I believe one should be, and what I want to be:') I didnt really enjoy USS as much with the teachers, mainly bcoz I am not very shou with most teachers, but I am glad that I have 3 close colleagues whom I took rides together with. Although you all might not see my blog, but thanks alot for your company, it really meant alot to me :')

Unlike last year, this year's birthday is not as happening as the last time for me. I had spent most of my time napping and nuaing around, and I really enjoyed such a relaxing day very much. The past "me" would be hating myself for wasting my special day away, but the present "me" come to realize that, actually, birthday need not be "bing bing biang biang" (CL called that "ling ling long long" LOL), but making my special day count for me:) And I am glad I did that! Haha. The present "me" also learn to appreciate my loved ones more, my mum for cooking mian xian for me, my dad for getting the MBS room for me although I didnt ask for it, my bro for getting big tiramisu secret recipe birthday cake from JB (it was a pity that I didnt manage to cut that tgt with my family), my friends who spent time to give me birthday surprise and have dinner together with me, as well as the time and effort given by my dearest bf just for me:)  Thank you all for your love and care over these years:)

Nevertheless, I somehow keep feeling my negativity sinking in at times, especially when there are days which are exciting and awaiting for me to enjoy. I tend to hope that these days will not come that fast, and if it comes, I hope that they will pass by slowly. Most of the time, I found myself worrying that time passes so fast away, worrying the things that are coming after these days. But I know, I should relish in the fun and excitement of the present, and dont't worry too much about something that is not even here yet. You know it, moOn.

On a brighter note, I am really proud of my penguin for donating his bone marrow to a critically ill patient!:D I am so happy that I could be there to give him my fullest support (including to be gang ga together in the room as the staff were taking video for the bone marrow awareness programme :P) :D How I wish I can be as brave as him to do something meaningful, that many people cannot bring themselves to do! One day, maybe? 

Believe in myself, I can and I will:)

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.
