Bonding with parents

This weekend I dedicated my time to my parents or should I say I spent more time with my mum instead.

Saturday I went out with her to repair the CPU. Then after that it was my first time going to Marina Square with mum! I told her not to worry because I am sooo familiar with the shopping centre that I surely won’t get lost. She seems so happy that she is there shopping, looking around.  Had a good lunch with her and indeed saturday was well spent.

As it is qing ming now, after so many years of not participating, I have decided to go for it. Coz I always remember mummy having to carry so much stuff two hands are seriously not enough. Furthermore, age is catching up. I didn’t want it to be too taxing for her so I went. I didn’t regret going because I can pay my respects to my great grandparents and my ah gong. Thinking about it, although I am not close to ah gong, I kinda miss him.

I told myself when I have my own kids, I will definitely bring them along for qing ming because I want them to know their roots and to understand the culture and tradition. I won’t tolerate them complaining about the hot weather and the smoky incense! Haha. Strict mother I am eh?

I would love to have a nice meal with my parents again.

Some thoughts.

Been busy with work and driving. These two stuff are enough to keep me soo occupied. Adding on, I am also training for my marathon in December so my schedule is jam-packed. Being involved in many stuff is a good thing in fact, it prevents my mind from wandering. I hate it when it does because this is where emotions will start to set in and I will start to think about the past.

I know God has arranged someone out there for me whom I will meet one fine day. And I start to wonder where and how is he like? Have I met him already? Questions start to fill my head. And then I brushed them all aside because I want to take things a step at a time.

All I want now is to focus on getting my driving license, landing myself in a job that I love and spending more time with my family and friends. Love is ranked bottom because my scar is still healing inside, though on the outside I look flawless.

Went out with twin today and we mentioned about the topic on why will people only treasure and cherish when the person is gone? When the person is by your side, why didn’t you know how to cherish them? I guess this is part of human nature. We tend to take things for granted to a certain extent. When its there, you didn’t give it much notice, but when its gone, then you notice its disapperance. Why? Beats me. I am finding out too.

I am starting to learn to love myself and the people around me more.

reality of working life

Had reunion lunch sponsored by the company that I work for in Jurong. Well, I am only a temp admin there. My boss is nice to give me hongbao, mandarin oranges and ba kwa although I only go there and work once a week. hehe. I went with my aunt as well.

I realised that once we step into the working world, we will meet all kinds of people and I just happen to meet one yesterday. And I am glad I met one because at least I have an impression of how it will be like and be prepared to step into the workforce. Not a bad experience afterall. I take it as a life lesson. haha. that means i attended life lesson 1 yesterday. There will be more to come!

After that, I headed to meet the girls to collect my heels at far east plaza and also movie ”Valentine’s Day”. I find it so-so lor. Didn’t have any strong feeling towards the movie. But I was so sad when Bradley Cooper acted as a gay in the movie and it gave me the creeps when I saw that scene!

Lastly, home sweet home.

This morning, I woke up at 6.30am to accompany my mum to buy foodstuff to stock up for CNY. Wanna find my specs but they are like gone!  I am so sure it is in my room but it somehow disappeared into thin air! In the end, after half an hour, I gave up and went to the market with my contacts.

Dad’s Birthday!

Had a mini celebration for dad on the 16th! He mentioned that time is so fast! haha. i agree.

My aunt also joined us in the celebration. We had a FULL dinner at a nearby coffeeshop and had a cake cutting session afterwards at my house! the hazelnut cake at Prima Deli’s is really loves! very crunchy and i didn’t mind eating more of it even though i was full. =x

Pictures taken on that day:

the next birthdays coming up will be my mum and my bro!
