Mornings
Yesterday, i woke in der’s house breathing in the fresh air from a high rise flat (i live on the 4th floor and never had that). It felt refreshing and cooling.
The first thing that came to my mind was.. Why hadn’t i liked mornings?
Somehow, i silently told myself that i could attempt to wake up earlier. Just for that cool, refreshing whiff of fresh air. Before i slept last night, i set my alarm to 6.50am instead of the usual 7.30am. With a little bit of snooze thrown in, i woke at 7.10am today.
No refreshing whiff of fresh air. No, not on the 4th floor at least, but somehow, it felt good. Worked on my overdue press release for a good 30mins before popping into the bath. Lovely.
Now, i just hope there’s no jam so that i can be on time at work.
It’s friday and it’s the weekend! The week has been great! Knock off timings for the week –
monday 5.20pm
tuesday 6.15pm
wednesday 6.25pm
thursday 4.15pm
ok. Mon and thursday is a little unrealistic on usual days. On mondays, the team had 1hr time off and yesterday, i had a survey at jurong point that ended really really early. But i could try to work with 6.30pm on most days! That is, if i am not the only person handling a launch!
Am trying to be a little ambition to tie up my work for the october window by next week, which is effectively 2 campaign windows ahead. Looking at the 1 month long leave my colleague’s taking, i don’t think i can cope with the workload in sept/oct if i don’t start on it now!
The strain in my neck/back is still hurting like mad. I feel like chopping off my head to ease the pain. =(

Cherie
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.
