Random question of the day: What sort of manager/superior would anyone work for? Someone who works with the team or someone who controls you?

Of course, there might be people who might go "who the hell likes someone to control them?" But you may never know - there are some people who works super well under pressure. I can never comprehend why, but there are people like that.

On a side note - I was browsing through my collection of photos and I happen to chance upon pictures of me in short hair. What say you guys, long hair or short crops?

The second picture was a work trip in Hamburg! Time passed sooo fast, it's 2 years already. =)

So back to the topic, which kind of superior do you wish you can have or work better for? Let's do a poll. Good for me to reflect and be a better manager myself. 

There is only so much a heart can take.

When two heart loves one another, I thought as long as we work things out, it will be fine cause two hearts are still liking each other. But why is it that I'm the only one trying? It really feels one-sided to me. He is replying my msges and still saying that he loves me. Knowing him, he wouldn't just say "love you" just for the sake of saying as he isn't an expressive person.

He really is like my dad. And yet, here I am msging him which he will be seeing it, and yet not replying. I've even texted him by telling me that if he feels otherwise (as I'm always telling him that I'm still here and not gone anywhere) to let me know. I did get a favourable reply by him telling me that that he misses me too.

Does this mean that he just needs more time for his case?

I've of course learnt that sometimes rushing into things and INSISTING on answers will get the plan backfired. I'm just hoping that he isn't taking me for granted.

We are going to the zoo zoo zoo~

A year ago (or maybe 1.5 years ago), our secondary school friend's had a gathering to the Singapore Zoo. Leia had much fun of course. After that outing, she kept saying that she wants to hang out with Chloe (who is Valerie's daughter). 

My pride, joy and all the time annoying kiddo. =)

Have any of you mummies felt that perhaps life would be better if you don't have kids? Don't get me wrong, you didn't regret giving birth to them, you just feel they are taking up your energy and time? I do. And I feel its NOTHING to be shameful about.

I work in retail sales and is holding onto a 6-day work week job. Yes, I work on Sundays from 10am - 7pm. The only time I have with her is that 1-2 hours after work. She sleeps around 9-930pm and she will only choose to sleep with my dad. Ask me if I'm failing as a mum? I have no idea. However, I can safely say that in terms of financial stability, my parents do not need to fork out a single cent for Leia. My ex-husband and I still manages Leia's expenses and NO WAY will I allow my parents to be paying for her. 

So back to the topic, there are times when I wish I can just do my stuff and just have me-time. And this to me, is normal. Some mummies I know even choose to go to work because staying at home with their little ones would drive them nuts. Try to be a stay at home mum, and you'll know. 

Of course, this does not warrant any regrets from giving birth to Leia. I scrub her hands squeaky clean after a meal outside at a coffee shop, I get myself all wet after bathing her and I always wash her butt butt after a poop. But after the tiredness is taken care of from a most appreciated nap, you cant wait for your child to run into your room and go "Mummy, I love you." 

Yes, I have my weakness, but I'm acknowledging it and NOT saying I'm a perfect mum. And if I ever meet a perfect mum, I'll NOT get tips from her, but I'll just dump Leia with her for that 3 hours. HAHA! So mummies, go ahead and have your me-time. We defnitely definitely deserve it. 

Before I end, the post - how do I look with this hairdo? (Of course taken 1.5 years ago.. =X)

Revival of Blogspot

I have no idea why I'm reviving this space. Maybe it's an avenue for me to rant my daily affairs? It was on my mind the past few months and then I went "Heck, stop thinking and made it happen." It's been almost 3 yrs since my last entry. And lots of things happened then.

Before I start with my life, let me show you how much my daughter has grown. Leia is 5 years old now and is starting her to terrorise her mother's life. But, looking at these recent pics, makes me smile albeit her nonsensical/rude ways.

She's still the skinniest among her peers (the above pictures say it all), however, a tiny temper she has not! I'm starting to get frustrated with her every now and then. You know how other mummies say "Having a child gives you more patience?" It's true, but to a certain extent. But I shall start all the blogging of adventures for the past 2.5 years till the next post.

For now, a picture of me and my baby.

Oh how I miss my long long hair.

Finally! A trip since June. Thailand, here I come.. 

Post operation

Just had an operation done. Which hurts like crazy both emotionally and physically. Told myself that everything will be good, I can always try for another baby in 2 yrs time. 

Lots of weddings I have to miss - James', Melissa's and I think one more. Not going to mil's house warming. But they understand. I'll prolly talk about the operation some time later but definitely not now. Nothing much to say. More like losing blood, got transferred to KKH, op was done there and now I have 4 wound scars, cause they cut up 4 keyholes. 

I didn't realize I can miss Leia so much. When she came to see me, even if my parents were against her sitting next to me because she sure wants me to carry and she ALWAYS hit my tummy area. I was THAT stubborn and said its fine. I smelt her sweaty hair, let her watch cartoons on my TV and yea, things were manageable. But one thing I didn't realize is I don't do this at home and it scares me to a point of time that I might be taking her for granted. Which is wrong.

Today, I should be resting since my dressings can only be removed on Sunday, but I went down and looked at her being dressed for school, sat with her and even asked her if you missed mummy and can you give mummy a hug, which she did but half heartedly because she was eyeing the piece of bread in her hands. Haha!! Greedy as usual. 

I missed being a FT mummy actually. It's weird, but I do. It's extremely tiring to look after your little one. But I sort of missed it. I can't carry her now because the doc did say not to carry things above 5kg for 1month, but I still insist that she can sit on my lap. Little things matters actually. 

And now, I'm being the stubborn me. Trying to watch 我的少女时代 with my husband. I've not driven for a long long time, but I will only do it if my body allows me to. Don't wanna risk others as well. 

The Nails Shop

Its really a wonder who reads this non-existent space here. Don't get me wrong, I know there are readers, but I'm thinking like 5? But now, I'm thinking otherwise. Not to show off, I don't wish to be a keyboard warrior in the I.E. Whatsapp maybe, but internet, definitely not, unless I want to spite someone on Fb, then maybe yes.

Anyways, a little update that is co-owned by TheClothesShopp, I'm pleased to announce a little sister company by the side - The Nails Shop.
