Cherish and Remember

Goodbye Papa..
Goodbye YeYe..
Goodbye Mr Lee..
Goodbye our founding father..
Goodbye for now..

A New Beginning

Exactly 5 years, 1 month and 24 days since I last "pen" on this blog..

So many things have changed and I realized that for 5 years, having moved into a new home, there is not a single memory that made me really happy in these 5 years.

I have stayed in Manila for the past 2 years and my princess will turn 9 this year.

Singapore is currently mourning the death of our founding father, Lee Kuan Yew.

He is also part of the reason why I decide to update this blog again.

One day, I will pass too. My little one will have something of my thoughts in her memory.

This blog was initially written for her and I have definitely let her down in many ways these years.

There is no way to regret whatever decision that was made before and I really hope that our lives will be rebuild soon.

After 12 years....

After 12 years of flying career, I finally called it quits and handed in my resignation...

My heart still feels very floaty as I really love my job but it's a reality that one has to end somewhere, somehow...

There is no eternity on earth and this is a harsh fact that man has to face.

But that does not signify the end of the journey.

I hope and wish my new career will take me to new heights and new experiences.

I look forward to new challenges ahead of me and whatever that comes..

My mom made a very funny comment yesterday and it was so true. I have never been out of uniform. I have been wearing uniforms all my life. From the day I went to school, till now at the age of 31.

All my jobs require me to be in uniform. Hahahaha.... I should have saved a lot on clothes but its the total opposite.

My new career although allows me to be in Singapore 24/7 now but that does not mean I will have more time with my Princess.

In fact, I will have to clock in 44hours per week which only leaves me 168hours, that does not include taking away sleep time, school hours time etc etc.... for my Princess.

Time is never enough these days and I am really glad that I was able to spend good time with my little one for the past few years.

Thank you Lord and I am still counting my blessings...

Christmas 2009

2009 Christmas was spent in Fiona's house.

Our holiday in Tokyo Disneyland

There are many pictures that I am trying to upload and this one is is just one of them. I need to figure out how I can do it with my new Mac first though...

This one for "testing testing"...

Its been almost more than six months since I last blogged. Time really flies and never seems enough to use these days. When I younger, I wished that time will pass as quickly as possible but since age has caught up with me, there are more responsibilities and things to take care of. I really wished otherwise now.

There are many changes in life within this half a year. Both good and bad ones but it really depends on how one looks at it. I have learned to accept challenges around me and take it as it comes to me.

My little Princess is definitely not the baby that I once carried. She has grown to have her own character which develops to maturity. She has a mind of her own and has shown great curiosity in things and events around her. My wish for her for this New Year is that she will continue to grow in love, joy, peace, happiness, wisdom and good health showered upon her.

"Mummy will try her very best to keep posting on the blog so that one day you will be able to read all these thoughts I have for you..."

THANK YOU

Thank You once again to all loved ones for the gifts!!!!!!!

The Party!!!

The Party has been a success with many blessings from family and friends. We really enjoyed ourselves although the only down side was the play area which seems too difficult for the three year olds!! These are some of the few pictures that I could take as being the host, I was not able to take as many pictures as i would like to. But with a great friend, Corina, I am able to post more beautiful pictures as she had been so kind to take the pictures for our girl's party.. Till then, enjoy...

Happy Birthday my beloved Princess!!!!

"Today's the day!! A very Special Day!! It's yr birthday!! A very Special Day!!"

**** Many thanks to all beloved family members and friends who have showered Leia with Ang Pows and gifts!!****

Dora Movie

The Princess's first experience to the movies. Brought her to see "Dora Saves the Snow Princess" that was showing at Orchard Cineleisure. The whole movie lasted for 45mins and cost us $6 each. As this was her first to the movies, she kept asking me where is Dora as she had the idea that it would be more like a show. And thankfully, Dora really appeared after the show!!! So she was really excited and happy to see Dora as you can see in the above picture!!

Slack

Mummy has really been slacking in updating the blog recently.
The biggest reason is probably that Mummy has been in town too long.....
I have been enjoying cooking and baking at home and I found a really good recipe book and spending quite a bit on cookbooks.
I realise that not all cookbooks are great as some may sound simple to work at, they do not taste as great as it looks on the picture.

Little Princess has been loving my company but its not doing her too good as she is toooooo attached to me right now.
I can't even go for facials or marketing on my own. She wants to follow wherever I am going. But the Princess is really sensible. She allows me to go to work though!
I really love her so much.

I am also counting down to my little girl's 3rd birthday. This year we decided on Toa Payoh Safra over Jurong Safra even though we liked the later better. Reason being, it was too expensive and only allowed us to use 2 hrs for the party room.
As for Toa Payoh, the place was more suitable for younger kids and we could use the party room for 4 hrs which I felt it was so much better. The only down point was that no adults will be allowed in the play area therefore the kids have gotta be on their own with Safra's 2 staffs.

Both the Princess and me are very excited and she has been asking me almost everyday if its June 29th already!!

Her birthday theme this year is Dora.

I will be back with loads and loads of pictures I hope!!!

Writing yr own name!

Little Princess is now able to scribble her own name.
"Mummy is so proud of you, cos you not only am able to spell your name but also write. What an achievement!!"

Mother's Day 2009

"My beloved Princess Leia, your gift for mummy is so pretty and wonderful. This is your first handmade gift for mummy and I really love it. You singing to me brought tears to my eyes. Mummy wanna tell you that mummy loves you very very much. Mummy thank Lord for giving me such a wonderful gift (you). And no matter what happens, you will always be the priority in my life and whatever mummy does, it is all out of love for you."
