Be myself

It’s better to let go of you. You have unfinished tasks to fulfill while I need some private time for myself…In fact, we do need some space for ourselves.

I am beginning to love myself more now. Life is meaningless if you don’t feel happy. I believe it is important to be myself .

Water issue

About three days ago when I was sweeping in the garden , I noticed the wet patches round the corner.

The flow of water rushing out slowly from the bottom hole of the wall had partially flooded my pebble ground. There were a few such hole but It was not for drainage. In the beginning, I thought it was the laundry water from my neighbour's washing area but the water was clear and not soapy. So out of good will, I informed the maid about the matters. I watched the water kept flowing but thought the plumber would fix it the next day.

The next day, It was obviously not what I thought so, the water patches had spread out, it looked like a rivulet flows among the pebbles. I quickly called the son to inform his mum when she's back.

I waited and waited, my concern was to no avail, they did not bother to turn off the main tap or come forward to find out what's going on. My hubby saw it too and asked me to remind them again.

I was not too happy. I told him that let's not brought this up again. We kept waiting to find an opportunity to talk to the father as he would definitely worry about the bill he had to foot by the end of this month.

Finally we managed to had a chance to communicate with him.

My hubby and I were relieved.

This morning, the plumber arrive...

Senior citizen


I was busy in the morning with my unfinished washing so I asked my hubby to go ahead with the children and I would take a bus to meet them later. The bus was crowded with passengers, mostly the elderly. To get there, I had to take one of the buses outside my area. And this bus was actually going to Chinatown. I still had to walk a short distance after I got down the bus.
This afternoon, Daddy(father-in-law) was joining us for
lunch at his favourtite Sizzler resturant together with our god children and their granny. During lunch, the adults sat on one table chit chatted. I noticed everytime when granny talked to him, he answered but did not looked at her. In the beginning, I thought maybe he felt uncomfortable as he did not know her well enough. When I asked him about mummy since she was not with us for lunch. He told me that she would be very busy the whole day with her group of friends and the reason why he came with us for lunch was because he did not like to hang out with her and the group of old woman. Then he continued, " If I knew that granny was coming with us, I wouldn't be here."

Coming home soon! we miss you ...


I like to worry about things that haven’t happened yet. We have plan for this December school holiday, a trip to Korea ski resort. I am so devoted to my dogs that It's just too painful for me to leave them for a week's vacation. But I need a vacation and get on a plane to go someplace. I prefer a pet sitter rather than a kennel boarding facility because I believe a kennel would be too stressful for them. I am worry that they will think I leave them and will not be coming back for them. Too bad that we can't drive and bring our dogs with us...

I didn't like to go to the Church

My husband and children would attend the service every Sunday morning. It was held at our nearby shopping complex in the cinema theatre. They had converted to Christian but not me. I was brought up in a buddhist religion family. The smell of the burning incense gave me a very strong and peaceful feelings in my heart. But I wasn't a devotee. And I don't go to the temple to pray. I went with them to the church at times.On this Sunday morning, I remained seated for a while and listened to the sermons. But I realised I cannot concentrate when this lady sitting on the same roll of seats kept playing and rocking with the baby girl on her hands, I peeked at them for a while and finally I decided to borrow a pen from someone beside me and started to sketch. I'm an evil person...

There is a scientific proof that people who have pets live longer, experience less stress and have fewer heart attacks.
