Drained

Yesterday was one terribly draining work day. I stepped out of e office at 11pm (thereabout). It’s also a day where i lost my patience on things and almost screamed at one of the girls at the creative agency.

I simply cannot fathom why they cannot take simple instructions after briefing them so many times and made me wait 5hours after the stipulated deadline for their work to come in. After all the wait, the work wasn’t what i wanted., but they have gone home and i won’t be able to see the changes until today. My deadline’s 12pm. *screams* Anyway, that’s yesterday.

For once in a long long time, i was so knackered that i flopped in bed within 30mins of home coming.

This morning.. I stepped into the bathroom with thoughts of him, mainly triggered by his toothbrush that’s still sitting beside mine. It’s funny how for so many years i planned out how our future’s gonna be like, what we are going to do, and think of the wedding that we’ll like and yet, now it means naught.

And i am able to think of him now and not feel too much pain. That’s quite a consoling thought.

On the way out, there were some dogs barking at each other.. I stared at them and realised how much i have missed cookie. I wish i could hold him in my arms, ruffle his hair and pat his head. The dog that i named I guess i’ll never see cookie ever again.

Why is it so that sometimes, things may be near… But it’s never with your grasps? Or when it was within your grasps, it hurts so much you had to let go?

A melancholic note on a tuesday morning. What a start to a day of meetings and deadlines, and possibly, late nights again.

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.
