restless

i think i slept too much yesterday that i spent the day battling a bad headache and feeling restless. had been relatively quiet here, because i had been busying myself with projectjen, a scrapbook that i created and sent to print.. as a farewell gift for my favourite colleague.

maybe i was too much of a perfectionist, maybe i just wanted it to look good.. i spent nights and nights losing sleep over choosing the photos that would go into the book, cropping, editing, DI-ing the images and making sure it capture all the memories of hers. it wasn’t perfect because of the lack of time on my end, there were also many other events that i didn’t have the time to do pages of.. but looking at the time constraints, at least i met my own benchmark of 80 pages.

tuesday was jennifer’s last day. it was quite an emotional day, from the (last) meetings in the morning, the team lunch we had, the handover to me & my boss, and finally, the 2 hours of farewell gathering with the department. it’s funny because as much as i willed myself not to cry because i am so happy that she is moving onto something else better, i got emo when i saw the video clip that i recorded for her, with me wishing her all the best, and relating the memories that we have shared.

here are some of the pictures that we took in the meeting room just before her departure. and i broke the tradition and managed to “extort” funds to buy her the most expensive farewell present ($500!) ever in the history of my department.

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.
