Pleasantly surprised!

I did my weekly check of Jacob's school bag today ( a big improvement from last year's quarterly check hehe!) and found this piece of compo written by him. I thought it was quite creative, coming from a boy who does not read anything except for Barclays premier league table! And he told me it was done within 30 mins in school! Well done Jacob!

Missing Michelle

It started with Sean accepting me as a friend on facebook. I was happily going through the beautiful pictures of his children when it suddenly dawned on me that none of his albums has Michelle on it. The obvious reason will be that he just started his FB account recently. I suddenly have a strong urge to see Michelle again and I did something that I have never done since her passing. I went into her FB account and spent the next 30 mins going through every single picture under her photo album. All the wonderful memories of our gatherings and trips came flooding back and I could not stop crying! If this can trigger such a reaction from me, it must be a lot tougher for her family. Maybe it is a good idea that Sean leaves Michelle's photos out for now.

Despite my sadness, I am happy to see from Sean' album that the kids are closer to him than before. I remember Julian used to be so sticky to Mich and the maid but now, he can be seen happily hugging the papa in the pictures. Well done Sean... and don't stop trying!



This was taken during our trip to KL. We left the kids in the hotel with the maid and went out for supper and shopping!

This was taken during Perth Trip. It was our first trip as a group and we had a great time despite the terrible weather!

What a year!

Its been an amazing 2010 for me! Here are some reasons why I do not mind going through it again

- I had 3 great holidays with family and friends- Bandung, Paris and Bali! What more can I ask for?

- I had my first gardening leave - I miss those 2.5 months of being a full time mum, plus the regular yoga and massage sessions!

- I finally had the courage to leave Bank of America- which will always have a special place in heart! Sadly, it is no longer the same culture and no regrets about the move so far!

- Both kids were healthy and did relatively well in school. So proud of my babies!

- I had the first manicure and pedicure of my life and I am loving them!

- We moved into a nice apartment at Pandan Valley and I love my walk-in wardrobe!

- I finally got to own a cabriolet!

- Thanks to Uncle Jonas, we watched a few nights of live BPL matches at Temasek club and those bonding sessions with Jacob were great! The nice sotong balls and potato wedges helped too haha!

- We discovered " Just dance" on WII!

It is amazing how the list can go on when you start to count the blessings in your life! I am very thankful and hopefully we have been a blessing to people around us in one way or the other. Happy New Year everyone! Have a blessed 2011!
