a lesson not learnt..
4.5 months ago.. i was skiing in the states and tore a ligament. the process of “getting my legs” back was torturous, and a struggle with pain.
last sat, i bought myself new blades. last sun, i went blading with wei. we chose the wrong place to go, and i couldnt get use to the speed of my new blades. i fell badly and skidded across the floor even before i started blading.
the phobia hit me once more as i slided down the slope. due to the fear of straining/injuring my right ligament, i didnt dare to brake when my blades started rolling down the slopes by themselves. at the very moment i rolled down the extremely steep slope, i felt the same feeling i had when i was skiing. it was so scary, and after the fall, i was scared shitless, bleeding all over and refused to move on my blades.
wei was shocked to see me so shaken up. i was on the verge of tears, not due to the pain.. but the fear of not being able to bring myself to brake. i didnt dare to use my right leg at all! anyway, i tore my brand new nike running top, had abrasions on both my arms, my back, my butt and my entire right leg.
🙁
i suffered 2 days of pain, sleepless nights and clothes sticking to my wounds. today, i am at it again. spent the day blading up and down east coast with my cousins. from 11am+ all the way till 8pm.. i am so amazed at my legs. on the other hand, i just never quite learn huh. i’m still quite a sucker for dangerous stuff.
alrighty. time for some snooze. *yawns*

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.
