managing expectations
Sometimes, while we are busy managing our expectations of people.. how do we manage the expectations people have of us?
recently, work has stretched me pretty thin.. and to my regret, i haven’t been there for many of my friends. but today, i keep receiving messages from a friend asking me why i didn’t reply his messages. and even after i replied, he msged me stuff like “why ignore me?” and “why no reply again?”.
i feel like deleting his number off my mobile. it’s so bloody annoying to be questioned non stop and as much as i tried to be the friend i want to be, his expectations of me returning his sms immediately is atrocious. and when i don’t, his other demanding messages pour in at different intervals.
Grrr.
anyway, i just needed to rant.

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.
