Good start, to August:)

Everything seems to begin well with the new month:) It all started off with a well-rested half day at home before the staycation with my 8.1, then lunch with CL and his family, and ending the weekend with awesome LKY musical.

Watching the LKY musical was like attending a live history lesson. Provocative, intriguing and making my feeling undergo some mini roller coaster ride. It's really interesting  how Mr Lee's life story has captivated  me so much, so so much. I was being pulled in to feel what Mr Lee had felt during the different moments of his life, and felt especially emotional during certain moments too:') The musical is not the best, has not portrayed more in-depth stories about Mr & Mrs Lee's life story, the actors might not have so called good "chemistry" however, I feel that Singaporeans will feel somehow connected and feel that sense of belonging at that moment. Mr Lee might not be who he had been, if not for his experiences during those days, if not for the people like Mr Lim Chin Siong  & his late wife, if not for his belief system he held. I might not have understood Mr Lee fully,  I might not agree to some of his actions, I might need to before I make certain judgement. Nonetheless, one thing that never change, he will always be the leader that I look upon to.

The month of August sounds like an exciting month ahead. I really look much forward to planning and spending CL's birthday together, as well as the SG50 national day. The people in Singapore have spent so much time and effort in preparing for this very day, the 9th of August, our country's big day. I am looking more and more forward to it as the day draws nearer, dont you? 

Not to forget, this month will also be a month when I step out of another part of my comfort zone to better myself:) All the way, mcnugget!:)

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.
