random thoughts

the other day, i was reminded of someone who once told me he hates eating alone outside. i used to think.. hey, what’s wrong. no matter what, you still have to eat right?

and then, some months later, it struck me that it could be loneliness that he cannot stand. i eat alone sometimes, and i think it’s perfectly alright. i’ll either quickly eat, and move on to doing something else… or i eat slowly and people watch while i do that.

about the issues of trying to find a table, queuing for food etc. i never thought of that as an issue.

hmmm.. has that got anything to do with my independent character?

anyhow, these days.. i don’t take dinner alone. i’ll come home, get addicted to my computer or nds and wait for der to come home and have dinner together. it’s a warm fuzzy feeling having something to look forward to every day. never mind that sometimes, my hunger pangs are so bad that i am tempted not to wait – actually, i did that sometimes, but i try to make sure when der eats, i’m with him so we can share moments sitting in front of the tv, watching silly dramas, sharing some laughter, or simply, enjoying each other’s presence.

i just remembered that i forgot my medication, so i went to the kitchen and had a quick serving of sweet potato soup before popping the pills.. and my mum was complaining about me having late nights, eating dinner so late and that i shouldn’t be waiting up for der everyday cos i had to wake up much earlier every day and at the rate i am going, my health is gonna suffer with the little sleep that i am getting.

life’s irony right?! just when i was blogging about being sweet having dinner with der. i guess my mum is just worried about my health – it hasn’t been fantastic and i have always been the sickly one to her.

suddenly, i wish i had a home of my own.. i could invite friends over to chill, eat steamboat dinners or play boardgames, living life the way i like it to be.

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.
