the weekend
i cant believe how unlucky i was over the weekend.
i lost my phone on a cab and after a badminton game, my whole bag was soaked in water. just so cos i didnt cap my water bottle correctly. i wasnt too upset abt the bag, but my camera charger, my camera, my card reader, my ipod and my mobile phone is swimming in the water. that’s what happens when u have a fila waterproof material bag. the water doesnt flow out, except thru the side seams!
no one can imagine the fluster i was in. a huge bag, a badminton racket, and trying to drip dry my ipod, and the rest of the gadgets dangling over my arms. and my face towel was so wet that i wringed it at least thrice in order to absorb more water. in the end, jean gave me her towel so that i can dry my stuff. joycelyn help me with her towel too.
and i got a stack of wet namecards thrown into the bin and i couldnt find anything that’s dry. Grr..
but then, i managed to get my phone back and nothing was found spoilt (at least for now, tho i aint sure when my gadgets will start cranking up on me!). so, i’m still lucky huh?
spent the afternoon at home.. and took a nap. met wei for dinner at 9+ and we headed for karaoke at kbox. i was on the verge of tears for the whole night after.
spent half of sunday sobbing away. and made my eyes super painful the rest of the day. had dinner at j8 and gorged myself silly with tepanyaki dinner. ordered the set A with sirloin steak with an additional serving of vegetables (+$1.50) and rice (+$0.50). i ended up with loads more vege cos the man made a mistake, so i got at least 3 more servings of it. i swallowed everything with glee and become such a happy girl afterwards.
to make my day a even better one, i had retail therapy. Spent $390 at a single swip of my card.. and got myself 4 pcs of paper in return…
tata! beyond concert tickets next weekend! it’s been wei’s and xx’s dreams to watch the beyond concert..
anyway, i shant let anything get me down. despite having a late night sleep, i woke up EARLY today. never felt better. and i wasnt late for work. 🙂
it’s a great start for a brand new week and i hope it’ll just get better!!

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.
