bright and early..

and my eyes are shutting. the body’s screaming murder but I still had to drag it out of the bed and the house and trudge to work.

i dread about the upcoming 2 months. I am so so swamped with major activities that’s happening all at the same time. I seriously have NO idea how I’ll be able to get through it all, and i’m praying that i’ll do fine, survive, get enough sleep, be less stressed and at the end of it all, emerge with a smile and a pat on my back.

but you know what? that’s a little bit of wishful thinking on my part, because seriously.. there are just too many (big) projects coming my way and a lot of my colleagues are going on leave because they have no more windows to clear. even my bosses seemed worried.

the weekend has been packed, with much related to work, and minimal rest with all the on-goings.

der and me also managed to pop by 2 hotels for wedding shows yesterday, got our bridal package settled and also, bought ourselves a bed. Woohooo!! a trip to krabi (for photoshoot) is in the works!!

it’s my bad that I haven’t had the time nor energy to jot down the details of the preparation but i’ll try to make an effort.

having said that, we blew quite a bit of our savings and we have to start saving from scratch once again. why are weddings such an expensive affair here?!

my aunt told me that my cousin got married for just $2000 (wedding bands included) in the states! and do you know? their culture has it that the bride would have to pay for the wedding!

what a stark difference it is from our chinese culture, although these days we have evolved and i believe most couples share the cost of the wedding.

i need a fatter pay cheque. anyone has got part-time jobs or any jobs to recommend?

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.
