life is so fragile.
my mum just called and somehow, looking at the time.. the first thing that came to my mind was.. did something bad happen?
and my worry was more for her.
don’t ask me how i know, i just had the sudden feeling it was bad news.
well, she was a sobbing mess and she managed to say that my grand aunt just passed away and that i have to attend the funeral in msia over the weekend and on monday.
i just checked with HR and i am NOT entitled to compassionate leave (because she’s aunt, not ma), and oh wells, i texted my boss and applied for annual leave anyway.
I just saw her 2-3 weeks ago at my grandpa’s birthday. she still seemed relatively well.
now, the only thing that’s on my mind is how my granduncle and my grandpa is taking the news.
argh. i wish i could just drop my work sometimes.

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.
