am i? am i?
my tummy was having the runs last nite when i got home from work. was tired from the long day i had on monday. was determined to rest at home and sleep early. at 9.10pm, i got a call from raphael. i was asked to join them balaclava. “who is there?” was my first reaction. i didnt mean to sterotype, but i was telling myself that unless there is a need to, i rather stay at the comfort of my home and rest my tired body.
and so it turns out, they were all there coz toto (desmond) is going for sailing for the next one and a half months today. gosh. i agreed almost immediately and got out of the house in 15mins.
it was fun catching up with the guys. people like victor, i havent seen him in the last 8 months.. and his gf (my tp junior), kareen. i also found out that dan’s gf is from my primary school. her brother is my brother’s good friend, and she recognised me coz she said i looked the same since im a kid! gawd.. i dun even know her!
and when i thought i was friend enough to make that trip to suntec to join them, and tried to drink a little despite the running tummy so as not to dampen the mood.. and reaching home way after midnight.. i found myself getting irritating with one friend who seemed to be demanding my attention.
am i such a fair weather friend? the thought of it irks me. but i couldnt help it when one friend of mine kept complaining and complaining abt something to me.. and she’s been saying the same thing for the past 2 months.. i dunno what to say to her anymore. i’ve said all i can, and there she is.. like a recording machine. telling me the same things each time she “sees” me. i just wanna escape. i was frustrated. i didnt even feel like replying. and i feel my brow all wrinkled up and my temper beginning to boil.
i feel so tired. i kinda hate it when im asked to “nurse” someone.. especially over a period of time. i mean, i have given my advice time and time again and it doesnt make any sense to me when u still keep harping me for some solution that i don’t have and cant do anything abt..
and it just triggered my threshold today. and i think im gonna avoid her for a while. i cant take it anymore. im so sorry. i admit. this time, im a fair weathered friend.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
