Emo...

1) when my mum wished that I would have a safe and smooth delivery. My parents have never asked me pressing questions nor stressed me out over this pregnancy. I really needed that.

2) cos' I'm suffering from one of the worst pregnancy symptoms thus far and it's making me feel and look horrible.

I love November/December holidays!

So 3.5 weeks of holidays have gone and we are left with about 2.5 more weeks. Where did all the time go? Been looking forward to this long stretch of holiday and I am glad that I have more or less taken a good rest by just lazing around.

Now, it's time to get cracking and finish up my resources/preparatory work for the new school year in 2015. Blahhhhhh. Need more time to meet up with friends, catch up on my dramas, pack and move my clothes/things which are still at my parents' place (oops!), spruce up our home (still lacking curtains, some furniture, decorations), prepare for the day in Feb 2015, go on more brunch dates (very lil' time to do so when we get back to work again) and I suppose the list goes on... Ahhh, time please slow down for me! Looking forward to Chistmas yet hoping it will not come so soon cos' it will mean back to work again very soon!

Nevertheless, I guess it is important to embrace the phrase, 'Carpe diem'!

Wardrobe Malfunction

Bimbotic post alert.

I miss wearing all my much-loved clothes - structured and flare dresses, fitting tops, high-waisted skirts, shorts, comfy tees. Boohoo...

Choice is not always a given

I hardly find conformity so difficult to follow but this time, I just find it so hard... Am I too rigid or what now?

Of more transitions

The past few weeks have been nothing short of busy-ness, lethargy and transitions. I do not know where to start but well, one of the happier recent event to share is we have finally moved in our humble abode! I am simply elated to have my own space and back in my good old familiar neighbourhood where I grew up in! I cannot say the same thing about the husband though cos' the east is pretty much deserted to him and his travelling time to school has kind of increased by a few folds.

Everything at our new place is still in a huge mess and we have been too tired to clean up properly after we get home from this long week of work and dinners out. I do not think many will enjoy doing household chores and the same goes for us. We have not even gotten used to travelling to work in public transport (even the east-sider in me needs to get used to a new route!) cos' we have been using the family car. Got to return the family car soon and I am definitely gonna miss our lil' road trips around Singapore with the convenience of a car. COE prices, please fall soon! I have not even used my laptop for the past few days even though the internet is temporarily up and running cos' I just cannot seem to use it without a proper study table (yet). These aside, I have been looking forward to moving into our new place for monthssssssss! So I shall not complain much about all these. I am indeed thankful to have a place to call our own and as much as I miss living in comfort with my parents, I think it is really time for us to grow up. Ahhh, the irony of life.

In the mood to ramble on tonight and I could go on and on, but till the next time!

Been feeling terribly homesick lately. Initially, I really thought I was getting used to staying in Bishan. After all, I am being well taken care of by my mum-in-law and I just need to get used to a different lifestyle and smaller space for less than a year. For unknown reasons, I just felt increasingly homesick over the last few months, so much so that I would tear at times. Do not ask me why but I really did not feel THIS homesick in the first few months.

Perhaps, I have been taking my family and home for granted all these years that all the withdrawal symptoms started sinking in recently. Whenever I am home for dinner each week, my heart is overflowing with love from my parents that makes me miss home even more. I am also getting overly frustrated over things that I should just learn to adapt to. Sigh.

Because of my homesickness, the husband has been suggesting that we stay over at my parents' place over the weekends. On hindsight, I should just continue to bite the bullet since we are probably about a month away from moving into our new place. Moreover, I should have moved back during the weekends way before rather than in this last month to go. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the husband who tries to be supportive and understanding about me feeling homesick.

Home is where the heart is. So true.

岁月流逝

Today, my ikan bilis friend and I met up with the guys along with another old friend (to be precise, probably an acquaintance) which was really an unexpected surprise. As my ikan bilis friend put it, this is the first time we have seen him in 10+ years and today's also the first time we talked so much to him!

Meeting him today has made me think about how much all of us have grown and matured over the past 10+ years. It's just amazing! Nostalgic too, thinking about all the funny things that happened back in secondary school. I cannot believe it's been 10+ years!

Time is indeed a valuable commodity which cannot be bought again. I wish time can move more slowly... Or perhaps, it is us (and society) who should start going slow and smell all the roses along the way.

想念

Never been this happy to be home. Staying at my place again these few days just reminds me of how much I've been missing home ever since I moved out. A place of comfort, familiarity and solace... Now, I'm wishing that I can stay here for as long as I can although I do miss the husband who's away in Seoul now... I guess I can't have the best of both worlds :(

Adapting to adjustments

I am just too physically tired with work to blog often lately. The only exciting thing that is happening in my life right now is building our new home! We are not doing major renovations nor designing but it will certainly be a place we can truly call home. :)

Married life has been great thus far. We definitely had some adjustments to make to our lifestyle as well as had some occasional tiffs initially. Not to mention disagreements (not quarrels) over renovation, furniture and such recently. Nevertheless, it is a good learning process for us and all it takes are accommodation, compromise and discussion to resolve issues. I guess there will be new adjustments to make when we move into our new place but I believe we will do fine and continue learning along the way. I cannot be more thankful to have a loving husband who takes care of me physically and emotionally. :)

This post sums up my short, random thoughts for the night. I hope to blog about more happy things during the upcoming holidays! Badly need a break from work............
