affinity with kids

eh.. im feeling feverish and im not noticing it. i am so busy editing photos at work and creating new album pages. Grr.. my eyes going bonkers already.

gonna take a break and talk abt something that’s been on my mind a lot these days.

recently, i begin to wonder if i have an affinity with kids. i dont remember liking them at all. in fact, i really cannot stand them when they start screaming, throwing tantrums and crying. i’ll cringe at the sight of naughty kids. of cos, i acknowledged the fact that they are adorable at times and make you smile, but i just didnt think i would like to hang out with kids, and musing over them.

but i have been hanging out with vanessa a lot recently and i really like her. she surprises me with a lot of the stuff she says. and she’s really matured for her age.

i also think i seemed to attract kids to like me, even tho i dont really like them. no, im not talking abt me not liking vanessa, or any of the below kids that i mentioned. i just taking kids in general.

at sally’s dinner party the other day.. someone commented that i’m good with kids cos i managed to make winny (don’s kid) to quieten down by passing her some butter to play with while she was throwing some tantrum of wanting to play with the fork.

and for the last 2 mondays.. i have been finding surprises on my table.

last monday i found this..

and yesterday i found this..

soon, my desk is gonna be filled with kid’s drawings. and i’m the only person in the whole office that received the drawings, by the way. and pearlyn is actually my boss’s daughter..

and my boi’s niece, shanie.. i’ve seen her through her growing up years and she used to stick to me a lot till the point that her mum doenst seemed too pleased. and i had to shun her to keep a distance.

is it because i entertain them or is it because im by nature, kids-lovable? or maybe cos i am really a big kid myself, not wanting to grow up and therefore able to strike a chord with them?

i seriously have no idea.

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.
