my beloved watch

just got a call and gotten some crushing news.

see the watch that i’m wearing in my header image? it’s my favourite watch, a philippe starck. but it has turned cranky about 2 months back and i sent it in for repair. I got it back, wore for a day and it died on me again.

it’s still under the 2 year warranty, and it was a precious thing to me. a gift from him. I sent it back for repair again and the crushing news is that, it is beyond repair. As much as the store would like to replace me an identical watch, they do not have any more stock for the model and i would need to choose something else as a replacement.

my heart sank when i heard it. do i really have to let it go? remember this entry where i mentioned even choosing a watch to go work was torturous? i know it sounds really really stupid if i tell them, its ok. give me the faulty watch back. it’s friggin $288.

and now, the tidal wave hit me, and im sinking slowly to rock bottom. the choice is clear isn’t it? maybe it’s meant to be that. slowly lose things that meant a great deal to me.. and some day, i’ll be fine. i’ll be just fine.

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.

    some day you will ask yourself if the watch even matters.

    Moving on, you should embrace a new watch. Keeping the important memories will only slow down the tide. 6years was indeed long but do you want to live with this shadow? My true blue honest opinion, get the new watch!

    Babe, don’t keep the old stash, they’ll get thrown out sooner or later.
