yawning
this is the surprise that i was brewing last nite.
sally had a surprise party! that’s the reason why i didnt go into details in my blog for the last 2 days. rushed to find a frame for the cross stitch right after work. then bobbed down to town, grabbed wrappers and card to go with it. met tay ping hui at wheelock! aww.. he looked at me, but i was caught off guard and showed him a blank face as we walked past each other. shit man. i should have flashed my nicest smile! afterall, i like it when he smile, with the cute dimple there. i must say he’s quite bulky with all his muscles..
’nuff said. pictures. i think that’s the things people see in my blog anyway. dont think anyone reads everything. 🙁
the party was fun. the food is good. the people great. the service ok. but, i liked the fact that they actually played a happy birthday song over the whole restuarant when the cake was served. how sweet.
then came the sad news. amidst the dinner, i got a phone msg. damn! i’m half angry, half sad, half glad (for him), and half lost. Oops. that makes up 2.. err.. confused is the word. i didnt know what to feel.
and so the good times has ended. the office will be quieter. familiar sights will not recur, no matter how hard i hope. despite knowing this will come, and prepping myself for it. it still caught me and hit me hard.
i didnt know what to say. if only words can find their way. sigh. i pray that the friendship will stay. the laughter remain (in my heart definitely) and life gets better for all of us.
my heart’s feeling heavy, that’s for sure. and suddenly i hope time will stop moving from the morning.
it’s not within my ability to do anything. i cant comprehend. as the spanish people say, no comprehende!
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.

my aunt bought me this 365 different fonts of alphabets A – Z thingy cross stitch book some time ago from the states.
i did some calculations and put together the words sally desk.. the areoplane is part of the deco for this font. the words are supposed to be the “exhuast” from the plane (plane should be top left instead!), but due the the spacing of the words.. i shifted it below to make it looked balance!

heyyy i initially wanted to start on a cross stitch but then decided against it.
haha can ask u for help regarding all the 1/4, 3/4 stitch and how to start. HAHA i scared i count wrongly..
And the place for your dinner is really nice! Went there once and i loved the soup and the desserts!!
cherieladieblogs
oOooh. looks like a lot of people know the dinning place! hee. and agreed! the food is pretty good, but quite ex!
as for the cross stitch, im not fantastic in it.. but i dont mind helping.
actually, i have a book with instructions on the various 1/4, 3/4 stitches. i can bring the book to the office and zap the instructions for you and mail it to you (u gotto give me ur address), alternatively, i can also scan it and email it to you.. interested?
enid_lareg
ahhh!! can can!! please please!! if it’s not too trouble some for you.. heh heh.
i love the Precious Moments ones, but they are quite big. I am afraid that i f i start i might not be able to finish it.. hur hur
cherieladieblogs
nope. precious moments? haha. the book i was talking abt is the precious moments. loved it so much, that i spent quite a bit of $ buying the books. u sure need patience to finish it. determination as well. hee.
nah. not too troublesome. so u prefer hard copy or soft copy?
enid_lareg
haha the one with the paper is?? hard copy?? ( i always get this mixed up, haha)
give u my addie??
Wahhh i borrowed one from my friend, but its the WEDDING one! haha not appropriate for me to do =P
cherieladieblogs
haha. sure. okie.
let me zap it first and let you know. i’ll give u my email address to send ur address to then.. and yeah, hard copy = paper, soft copy = file in com.
i used a trick to remember this actually. hard = can touch physically = paper, soft = cannot touch physically = file in com. hope this helps!
yeah! agreed! i bought precious moments 3 books altogether and they cost me a bomb. cos i bought the first one, found in inappropriate, then the second one.. and then one day, i found a even better one and couldnt resist buying! 🙂
cherieladieblogs
the papers has been mailed.. look out!

hey.. i just realised that i didnt reply you on how to start. i usually count from the no. of squares (x axis vs y axis) and then use a colored string to sew a box (sew loosely) as guideline. i’ll start sewing after that and take out the box when im done!
