some thoughts
prior to receiving the gifts, i practically had a sucky day.. ending my meeting at 8pm with loads of undone work and a friend waiting to have dinner with me since 6.45pm.
i felt really bad to have belle wait for me for so long. 🙁
i wonder if my life is a joke, and that if it isn’t hard enough, somehow.. i just have to face up to the tough situations and meet with totally unexpected surprises. with vday looming, i was somehow sad that i am gonna be alone this year, and it’s gonna be so far different from the last 7 years to have someone by my side.
i’m feeling kinda lost. and i just had to bump into him during lunch today. if that wasn’t bad enough, i sat beside him throughout my lunch and i couldn’t swallow my food at all. i just can’t wait to go because i felt so affected.
not seeing him makes life easier. seeing him makes it so much tougher for me to move on. even i acted nonchalant and quickly parted our ways (with a hungry stomach still!), i wasn’t feeling quite the same.
it’s really really hard. i wish i were more gutsy in handling the matter, but i just can’t stop thinking how he is now and how he would be spending vday..
somehow, the vday gifts that i received made me smile all over again. at least, there are people who appreciate me for who i am.. and show their affection through their small ways.
i feel blessed!

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.
