It’s rainy day again.

It’s raining. Looking at the rain and thought about a lot of things.. Last year this time, i was quite a happy girl..

Just enjoying myself and healing from a heartache.. A year later.. I’m not sure if wisdom has grown on me.. But i had come to realise that many a times, things are meant to be. Some things happen for a reasons, others? We make them happen for a reason.

Been through quite a bit in the last 2 quarters of 2007. Done many things that i didn’t think i was capable of. Made one of the few biggest decisions of my life. Any regrets? I’m not sure, but seriously, there’s no looking back.

Last night, i attended a wedding. My cousin’s wedding.. His 2nd marriage in fact. I was kinda shocked to know about it. But then.. As i found out.. Things may not be as simple as we think.. They had been together for 11 years..been through marriage, loved each other, but as people grow old, they grow different expectations.. And it’s an extreme ardous task to keep in check each other’s expectations and compromise to keep going. Some couples do it really well.. Some just sweep everything under the carpet and wait for the storm to brew.

My cousin. He wanted kids, the wife didn’t. So goodbye old wife. Time flies and new gf and new wife. People move on. I guess i’m doing that too..

Some things that i have been thinking about of late that i wanted to do something about..
1. Keep my temper in check.
2. Keep moving on and stay happy.
3. Stop looking back and quit asking what ifs..
4. Get my life in order and go get what i really want in life.
5. Learn to be humble.

That’s quite a bit huh? I love rainy days. They make me reflect, think about life, stop and relax and it also reminds me of someone sweet.

Life will get better so long i put in effort to make it happen right? It’s time to head home!

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.
