“You have been washing since last night…”
As I dragged myself out of bed at 4.30am in the morning for some milk production business, I was having a mind full of gripes, and still reeling from fatigue. Because I had such a long and uneventful day, and that I was really more tired than I should be.
Everyone was asleep in the household. My uncles and aunt were in the house and as I tip-toed across them to get to the kitchen.. I was in a semi-state of self pity. Because I was the last person to sleep the night before and while everyone is STILL sleeping, here I am trooping off to the kitchen to was the bottles and breast pumps after I am done.
Midway through the deed, my uncle woke and popped into the kitchen to use the bathroom.. And when he saw me, he went…
you have been washing since last night eh!
I just have to laugh. At the hilarity of it. Because he did see me washing right before he headed off to bed earlier, and here I am…STILL washing when he woke.
While i haven’t been standing at the sink for non stop cleaning action, the bit humor just made my night slightly better, and the gripes in my head just disappeared.
Some times, I think all we need is just a bit of laughter to trudge on. Ok. Nights out.

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.

Haha.. I think he was really puzzled to see washing non stop!
My aunt is funnier. She say I should record all the hours spent washing the bottles and then when my son turn 21 years old, collect the salary that I am entitled to washing milk bottles for him. Heh.
