picking up the pieces?
after staying awake for nearly 30 hours and being at the wake (for 26hrs!) and sending uncle off on this last journey to be cremated, i came home, flopped in bed and slept for a record breaking 16 hours.
its quite a feat for me since i usually sleep a lot lesser and seldom make it past the 12hr mark. im still feeling a little groggy now cos i fell asleep again while i was trying to read a book. 2007 began with me in bed, with a non stop beeping handphone while i was sleeping. it’s a tad annoying trying to get sleep in but thanks to everyone who has sent their well wishes for the new year! i woke to 20+ messages this morning!
i painted my bathroom pipes this afternoon, after procrastinating on it for almost 2 months. i finally had the time to do it. 🙂 they are now a sweet pink (in sync with my room) from the medium blue it used to be. sweeeeeeeett!
for the whole of this first day in this brand new year.. i think it started on a gloomy mode for me. after seeing him for the last 9 days, i felt queer and not knowing how to face him after. you know, its easy telling myself to pick up the pieces and live my happy life but somehow, i am affected after the series of events and things are not the same now. just wanting to do it is a lot harder emotionally.
i can’t help but wonder what to react, say when i see him. not that there is much of a chance anyway, but i think im quite clueless and during the 9 days, my reactions were somewhat, cold. not because i had wanted it that way, but i didn’t know what was the proper way to act towards him. my last goodbye to him was a nonchalant one and he didn’t even say thanks to me despite all i have done. i wonder if i was just being extra.
well, i think staying at home while everyone else is out is doing me in, harping on the gloomy notes. but i am too tired to even want to attempt to head out.. and work is on my mind since there are loads of deadlines when i start work on wed! 🙁
what a boo! shall spend the rest of the day packing up the room, rearranging everything and making myself feel good!

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.
