Just thoughts

Whenever I wanted to blog, it always comes as a surprise attack, when I have this brain full of ideas of what to say like something big enough for me to blog properly.

Getting to think that it's kinda straying away from my original plan to blog down my simple thoughs of the day...daily dosages of queenbee.

Having to be a complete stay at home wife for now, felt that I am still quite lack of what it takes to be a proper mum. Look at Jojo and May, so fully committed, and here I am, staying at my own house, typing all I want..., sounds luxurious..I really felt shameful of what I am doing.

Anyways, I have this huge problem (to me, it is). Weetabix wanted to travel and I sort of agreed to, but then come to realise that I am going to miss seeing Andre for more than 2 weeks - going to be a torture..have been mulling for the past few days on "to go or not to go"

1. Go and I will miss Andre for 15 days.
2. Not to go and I will miss Japan for the rest of my life. (well, at least for a few yrs)

Damn...I am really in a pickle.

I was again, going thru my routine to read the daily news and still, there are fresh reports on a Haiti quake...this report caught my eye...cos usually, I do not have enuf courage to read all these sad stories.

The report on this boy, who was trapped in the ruble for more than 7 days and he survived. When rescuers found him and got him out, he was actually smilling and all he wanted was a big, human hug!!

Tears of joy...well, to all ppl who think that work is tiring,endless, shitty,this picture should make u think twice about grumbling...we are so lucky and I should not be complaining about making stupid choices of travelling and being fat.

Resolutions for the yr:

1. Reflect on my mistakes
2. Diet and wear back my old clothes.
3. Start early on exam prep.
4. Learn how to drive
5. Find a new job.
6. Love weetabix,Andre and family more (Not that I love them less now...I meant more!)
7. Actions speaks more than blogs.
8. Love the environment.
9. Draw up a proper learning plan for Andre.
10. Polish up my baking skills
11. Complete pt 1-10 by 2010 Q2

2nd day of 2010

I think I am used to post on my blog..."It has been a long time since I last blog". Again...the excuse? I am just too busy. As much as I would like to keep track of Andre growing by writing posts of daily or weekly happenings, I never really sat down to do it, though I have tons of photos of him which I managed to organise by placing them in folders by month.

For the past year, it has been a mad rush. Mornings will start at 6am, follow by work..., end the work day at 6pm, rush down to momsy at 7pm, Andre's time till 10pm, return back home, knock out ay 12am or it will be classes till 10pm...go home, knock out. Weekends will be classes or typical sundays...wake up7am, mad rush to prepare for Andre's stuff, out by 9am to Orchard, all the way till 3pm, Grandma's house till 7pm, back to BB for dinner, settle Andre down by 10pm, and back to bed by 12am.. whoosie....I can't believe that I actually done it for at least 18 months since Andre's arrival and that does not include mad rush for project assignments and exams prep...which everyone should know..when it's exam, I am like a bear in hibernation...totally no food and stepping out from house till exam day.

Now, I've finally popped my decision to my boss, and yay! I am free now. I am a official SAHM like Jojo and May! How great is that!!!
I have time, I have kitchen, messy house, oven, more time!!!
Blogging world, here I come!!! :)
