Please please please, let the angels spread their wings for Ili, Nylie and Dyna………

Mark's last day......
No quotes..
No reasons to smiles..
To summarize my day at work - SAD.
It's Mark's last day at work. It's like only yesterday that this man approach me with, "I believe we havent met. I am Mark Bridge. And the rest is history....."
Stopped here....too sad to move on.

Talk about COURAGE...
Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose. ~ Tom Krause
Ili, Nylie and Dyna are the reasons, the drives, that give me the courage to explore all things impossible.
I’ve lost too many; my feelings - hurt and battered by people I hardly knew, only to discover myself even beyond my imagination.
There were things I intended to do but procrastinate, not because I wanted to but I have to. Never have the courage to admit that for many years, some things I did just to please my love ones - never for myself, And I just did. The girls are my issue. I regretted not training them the way I should. For example, simple task like doing their own bed when they wake-up in the morning, washing the dishes, doing the laundry from washing, to folding or hanging their own clothes. I should have long time ago after Saro left, stopped having helper.
Till today, though I am contemplating, I am still very much, reluctant to have a helper. I have my reasons.
The luxury of going to a tidied, cleaned and without clothes spilled from the laundry bins home, is over. My only escapade - my once a month date, with dear Uyop – my confidant..… the last months, we travelled to somewhere…….miles away from home, just to be together; only the two of us. Ever afraid of losing someone? Yes I do. I use to cry a lot, afraid of losing my mum. She has been, and will always be, my confidante. We used to talk about lots of things. We still do. Now. Today, I have the courage to admit my life is so blessed - But I took things for granted. And I took my mum for granted. Even Uyop.
How courages can I be? A little.... I am overwhelmed with fear too. Fear of losing my little girls. They’ve grown up so much, so much so, that I’ve almost forgotten that they too would fall in love, go to college, get a degree, get married and out of our home…..but I’ve never really been their confidante. Here is where my mum and I, are world apart. I have tried my very best to talk and listen, but Ili and Nylie only confide to each other but not to me. Probably they are like twins; only different they are born in different year.
Anyways..here's another courages things to do. Sinful. I went to Jurong Point just now to get these lovely cream puffs for Uyop and the girls. I got myself almond sticks; it’s really yummy. I will have to google for the recipes……ANNDDD, I ate the whole lot of almond sticks. Period!

So much to do, so little time..........
Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.
- J. Donald Wlters
I promise myself, to start every blog with positive quote/s. And I delivered.
So much things had happened since I last blogged.
Both at work and home. I am contemplating of getting a helper – NO! Seriously, I do need help. To vacuum and mop the floor. To clear our ever piling laundry. I wish for an invention of auto clothes folder, hanger whatever……….
I do not prepare dinner now. We’ve got help. Dyna’s ex-nanny is such a great help.
Yes, I must say I still need to sort loads of stuff at home to keep it to it’s minimal, and as neat as it can ever be without help. The other day, I saw Sofea washing the dishes and clean up the sink and silently wish for Ili and Nylie to be as clean and tidy as her when it comes to cleaning up the kitchen or home. Because one day, these tasks will be of great help to them.
Speaking of which, I am so unsure what Ili Nadia is going thru. I was quite disappointed that she broke off with Afiq as he has very much impacted her religiously if not much, Alhamdulillah - a little. I believed positive impact on ones life will always be challenged by the devil. I do not like her to associate herself with people like her ex-boyfriend. Though I do not know him – something tells me that boys like him will always take advantage of girls; it doesn’t matter if she’s strong or not. Sweet talking can even lead girls to insanity – true? Probably. Even have sex with him! Now, I know of someone who did! Because she’s afraid of losing him. Nothing I can do to stop that! I wish I have tried harder.
Now Nylie. She’s in her own world. Everyday she’s ever so enthusiastic to go recital. For Allah or Alif?? Great, tell me what can I do to let both of them see that this is not the right time…..
Anyways, I can only pray for my family to always be protected and be given lights to the right path for only ALLAH knows what’s best for us. Ameen.
Last nite, it was kind of funny Uyop had to ask if we’ve been married for 18 years. Consolation. He remembered the year – 1992. Im impressed! Can you imagine this. After series of dates, 7 “boyfriends”, finally in 1987, I decided on the day I met him – His the one for me. Lucky me, he asked me out first. He told me that he ordered cake for our wedding anniversary – now that’s classic of him.

To be continued....
I miss blogging. A difficult decision I have to make; either I continue to blog any other day or mend my farm - farmville..haha. Okie, I will continue to blog and likewise I hope my ardent fan, you know who you are will continue to blog. Tough one. This is just a joke, if you're not laughing or smiling.....I do admit I am not born a true joker. Do just grin; that'll make me smile.
Many things had happened since I last blog. A constant reminder is, the laundry! Ili Nadia's to be specific. I never thought of taking a before and after shots of her wardrobe. The transformation has definitely awed me. Well, at least I have 'the after' shot. Has been our family joke except for Uyop and Dyna's oblivious to the transformations. Ah well..
Question : Do you fold your clothes? or hang it? Depends right...but if you do fold it you might wanna get a tutor - Ili Nadia *lol*
Dyna started her official swimming lesson with Ili and Nylie's ex-coach at the beginning of the year. He taught both of them the know-hows of swimming. And..Dyna's unofficial coach has always been dearest dad. She has always love the water and it is exciting to see her in her first few lessons. I have never seen her, week after week, looking forward to her swimming lessons, arts and doodling. It is the same today, her enthusiasm is, if not better than it was weeks before.
Uyop is set to getting fit yet again. He had trim down a whinny bit. He has been swimming 50 laps each session. Great enthusiasm right?
He does look radiant after exercising. Isn't that great; it motivates me too but, I have been procrastinating. Bad!!
3 things that made me smile today :
1. Our conversations at the dining table last nite...
2. Had a very clean and tidy home after lunch...Ina came to help
3.Pizzas for dinner...hmm one of my favourite sinful food
January 08, 2010
.....completed
Morning Ili offered to send Dyna down. Cool, I have more time for myself.
Had an interesting meeting regarding laundry for our site. Half of my day at the office gone just for that meeting! Unintentionally skipped lunch – bad idea. I figured since it was already half past one, why the need for lunch.
Read an article on the propose laundry processes and procedures to have a better understanding;too dry a topic.
Too beat to blog... Just happy to have a complete family now that Nylie is back from camp.

Do it for Love........
Forced to wake Dyna up 10 minutes earlier than it was yesterday, or the day before. Didn’t want to be late. We were 5 minutes early; it’s ok to wait rather than to run for the bus.
Before we left the house, Dyna mentioned that her form teacher told the girls in her class that she will cut the hairs of all those who had long or messy hair. So Dyna insisted that her hair be tied-up too. I don’t know how the teacher put it to the class but she sure had my little girl all worried that her teacher might cut her hair.
Prayed for yesterday’s happiness to last forever. Wishful thinking? I am positive that’ll happen. I feel so in love…..deeply in love. Even the rain this morning didn’t dampened my spirit.
Nothing spectacular happened at work. Despite for the “nothingness”. I do it for love. Bcos I love my children too much;so I work for love. Good motivations?
Now, nothing beats the feeling of coming to a clean home. Uyop did a great job at cleaning the house. Ili, for the past days had transformed to become a tidy girl - well, she did her bed!
It's just the four of us at the dinner table - Nylie went for orientation camp. The laundry is waiting for me to clear and yes, the dishes...I'd better go! Good nite..
3 things that made me smile today :
1. Clear traffic
2. was not late for Qihua school bus
3. Dyna's free school bag - only 4 days of school, the bag's strap did not function as it should...

I am a very lucky woman.......
I have had a wonderful day and my entire day was full of LOVE.
Uyop and I were set to leave our home at 8.45am. We were spot on. We reached the car service centre at JB close to 9.30am, had our lovely breakfast. Uyop had Nasi Lemak and myself, Nasi Ambeng. It wasn’t fantastic to the max. It’s the company I was enjoying.
Felt good just to chat, enjoying our breakfast slowly and sipping our sweet teas with pleasure. Savouring the moments. Pleasurable indeed.
When he is busy with the mechanics, I read. Reading becomes a luxury to me. Infact, it was a luxury even being together like this. Imagine this; the whole day – just the two of us. Feels good!
The car was done around 1pm – had it washed, shampooed and off we went to AEON at Bukit Indah. We had our lunch at Nando’s a Portuguese restaurant. I truly don’t care about the food, but must admit that the Viennese coffee was the best. Afterall they don’t get best restaurant awards for two consecutive years for nothing.
We shopped for 3 hours and head back to Singapore. On our way back, we met Abang Lan, Uyop’s eldest brother. He is going to Philippine tomorrow nite for his business trip and will only be back in April. He had his car parked closer to our home.
In the evening, I was at the kitchen when Uyop called me to the room, and the sound of his voice calling me has to be the sweetest ever. Period.
I will savour today, this very day, as it may, or may not come so soon.

Post holiday mood...
0545hours; pretty sure the alarm was in silent mode! Either I slept like a log, or, I slept like a log!
Fortunately, Dyna was in time for her school bus. I felt like crawling back to bed. Surely there have to be a good reason for me not wanting to go to work - I have no clue! It's just for the money; no more job satisfaction. Sigh!
Patrick, our Vice-President, was one of the first to greet me with New Year's greeting. Then came Andrew, with his goodies from Hanoi. Andrew asked Patrick if his trip back to Europe, Belgium to be exact, was good. Patrick's reply - negative. A day before he reached Belgium, his eighty over years old mother was hospitalized and in his opinion, she is dying when he left her for Singapore. So, I can understand why.
Nothing major happened at work - I just didnt care. Not good! Not good at all! First day at work, I am already looking forward to the next holiday. Oh, by the way, lest we forgotten. I have a date. Yes! A date. We're going to service the car in JB.
I was preparing dinner when Uyop called me from below. He was from his routine jog. Dyna's school bus came much earlier today. I am beat - short blog!

Officially today is the 1st Day of 2010..
1st day of school. The girls need no help in getting-up from bed. First day excitement, I suppose so!
Dyna looked pretty in her uniform. We missed the bus! The bus was at block 108 around 0610 in the morning. Let her continue her beauty sleep, only to wake her up an hour later. Met the Powerlife teachers, got Dyna to settle-in. Had her breakfast at the student care centre.
Went back home to do the laundry and went shopping for groceries at ShengShiong with Uyop later. He did the nicest thing ever. Push the trolley, put all the stuff in the car – need no help from me at all. We have a date on Wednesday and I am so looking forward to it.
Dyna’s recess were at 3pm and we both went to the canteen and guess what?! There were at least hundreds of parents there too. Dyna has a care buddy and yes, she’s a very cool girl. Lucky Dyna. After that me and my man went to Republic Polytechnic for our meals. Great way to have cheap meals and desserts..
Today marks one of the nicest thing that can ever happened to me; more to come, surely.

Refreshing........
Woke up very early, to a set list of things to do TODAY!
Yes, I did. Vacuumed, mopped and tidied all the rooms, and I feel good about it. The girls and Uyop helped. Ah see, if you asked for help from within, it’ll come to you unexpectingly. This is one of those days. I am lucky or what.?! Nylie’s ten over years old bed has to be discarded to make way for the new bed. We're getting a new mattress for the new bed too - a second hand one; the one offered by Mark.
The whole spring cleaning my home took me almost the entire morning and early afternoon.
Too tired to remember great details of what happened today. Early to bed and all set for tomorrow. I am REFRESHED.

2nd Day of 2010....
02 January 2010
Went to watch Avatar in 3D at Great World City. Awesome. Booked the tickets online last nite. Was deciding between Avatar in 3D, and, Alvin and the Chipmunks. Did not regret choosing the former. Very touching; was close to tears, was I? Yes, I think the part where Dr. Grace Augustine – the scientist starred by Sigourney Weaver, died. A drop of tears or two.
The beginning of the show, Jake Sully starred by Sam Worthington, a paraplegic former marine, said something like, when a life ends, a new one begins. Must watch again to know the exact word; it's real deep. I have heard this saying before, but never can point my finger on which book or magazines I might have read, or heard from somewhere. I have always love good quotes; that could be one reason too. Or the internet; yes, most likely.
It’s true isnt it? “..when a life ends, a new one begins..” GOD has a way with life. I noticed. Like, my teacher’s passing on 01 Jan 2010; a friend sms-ed me that her son was born on the same day, perhaps only different timing. One wonders – otherwise this ageing Mother Earth would be over-crowded.
Avatar has to be one of the best movie I have watched in 2010, but then again it is just the beginning of many months to come.
Late afternoon, talked to Ina about her working for me. But somehow, when I was talking to her, something peculiar about her was going on my mind. I have decided that I do not need a full-time helper.
Tomorrow, I am determine to complete the tasks I have decided on completing. That is….., spring cleaning my whole house.! The time to wake-up would be 0500hrs.

It's 2010 Finally!!
The long awaited 2010 is finally here! I hope for many good things to come our way this year....
Last nite countdown was awesome..hmmm, not really. Only the fireworks was fantastic! We did not watch the rest of the show. I think most people came just for the fireworks. My camera's battery went flat on me when I was just about to shoot Darlingz, Uyop, Dyna and Ili and what could have been a perfect shoot of the nite!
In the morning of the first day of 2010, I received news of the death of my beloved religious teacher. He passed away last evening at the hospital and the body was brought back for the funeral this morning. I attended alone as Uyop had his guitar practise early today.
Uyop's guitar teacher came knocking the door around 9am. I thought it was someone selling stuff, so I did not open the door. He was persistent. Door bell rang, was knocked several times and still I thought wow, this salesman must be having hard time selling his stuff. Funny. Only after Nylie woke Uyop up to tell him that his teacher was at the door - my jaw were close to dropping on the floor.
Went to Ang Mo Kio to fetch mum, Zac and Iqah Melaty. Ironically, Zac was late - way too late.!! We missed the funeral anyway. We were at Jurong West for awhile, just the show of respect to his wife and then zoomed back to Ang Mo Kio before rushing back to Woodland. Uyop were already at the door, when I reached home. He was already leaving for his Friday prayer. Just a step away......
Bed hunting at Ikea after Uyop's Friday prayer. My stomach growled challenging my endurance level. I endured until close to late afternoon. Got a double-decker bunk bed that will have to be a d.i.y. That should be an easy task for the man of the house. Delivery due 05 January – Tuesday afternoon.
Went for our late; very late lunch at Banquet – Causeway Point. Shopped at Metro for lingerie. It’s for the girls....
3 things that made me smile today :
1. "the salesman"
2. our good buy @ Ikea
3. our buy @ Metro
Last nite countdown was awesome..hmmm, not really. Only the fireworks was fantastic! We did not watch the rest of the show. I think most people came just for the fireworks. My camera's battery went flat on me when I was just about to shoot Darlingz, Uyop, Dyna and Ili and what could have been a perfect shoot of the nite!
In the morning of the first day of 2010, I received news of the death of my beloved religious teacher. He passed away last evening at the hospital and the body was brought back for the funeral this morning. I attended alone as Uyop had his guitar practise early today.
Uyop's guitar teacher came knocking the door around 9am. I thought it was someone selling stuff, so I did not open the door. He was persistent. Door bell rang, was knocked several times and still I thought wow, this salesman must be having hard time selling his stuff. Funny. Only after Nylie woke Uyop up to tell him that his teacher was at the door - my jaw were close to dropping on the floor.
