失眠夜

又是一个失眠夜,
又是人造的。

问。是因为想让自己觉得好一点。
问。是因为要让自己学会知足。
问。是因为没有像别人一样,很幸运的用字来形容所有的情景与情感。
那就是我所为的浪漫。。。

What's with De Face?

Just thought this is a must share photo of BB Zavier...



Not sure where he learn his expressions from, but this boy is always full of new expressions that never fails to amuse us. The latest now is the extreme pout that became like the above, with eyes and nose all wrinkled up.
When he's not happy, he'd first start with a pout that gets sharper and sharper till his face starts wrinkling up.

Gosh, the fun of having babies in the family...

Drea has been busying around the little ones. My comin- to-4 niece and 7 yrs nephew staying together and BB Zavier coming over once in a while.
That was enough to keep me busy such that I'd feel I'd neglected another part of my life.

After a few blog hopping this morning, I realised many people use their blogs differently. Some used it to express their inner most thoughts, meanings of life, quotes, lifestyle, fashion, gadgets, their latest hobbies etc.

And that I rarely express my deep thoughts in my blog, it's mainly one of the lifestyle blogs that contain little snippets of my life.

Could it be I seldom brood so much about my life, or am I just not sensual enough to put so much feelings into words, or worst of all, am i just too insensitive enough to feel emotional?

When one is basking with love, they're able to put the lovey dovey feeling into words, how they feel towards the person, how they feel towards this relationship and eventually when the relationship failed, how depressed their life gets with the loss of a partner, how life is never the same etc.

After running through some histories of my blog, i realised you can barely find any traces of these.
Sometimes I'd wonder, am i too devoided of feelings or what...

then again, it's kind of sweet to be reading someone's blog about you with the heartfelt feelings and all, well, envy the lucky ladies or guys of subject in the many blogs.

de kids...

ok, enough of whining and 'greyness'. thou shalt pick thy's mood up and not spread the greyness around..especially to uncle Des.
Thou shalt not let him worry...we'll live day by day as it goes and you'll never know what kind of surprises life entails.

Here're some of the pics of the kids, my niece and nephew - Hee-chan and Ko-chan and of cos with my nephew BB Zavier.

THe problem with the kids, they don't like to smile at the camera...=_____=



1st visit to Vivo City....



at aunt's place, both playing with their new toys i've bought for them at Toys R us



finally, the distant cousins met!! Hee-chan loves babies so much, she kept playing with BB Zavier..she'd go "aka-chan' 'aka-chan' (means baby in Japanese)




it was actually ko-chan's birthday when they arrived in singapore that morning. due to the current situation, he did not have the luxury of celebrating his birthday and he's been asking his mamee how come this year no birthday cake.

So uncle Des & I decided to get a cake downstairs and have a simple belated celebration for him.
He was so happy when he saw the cake and went round telling everyone "watashi tanjoubi desu!" (it's my birthday)

Seeing the excitement from him, it made the money well-spent. although it's just a small, plain birthday cake but that made him happy enough.

The thing with the children, especially ko-chan, he is very appreciative of every little things you get for him, including toys. You seldom get to see the excitement on our local kids these days when you buy something for them.

And the fact that he appreciated and takes good care of most of his toys made uncle Des wanting to buy even more toys for him!

really appreciated Uncle Des so much, he's been popping by almost daily to play with the kids and the kids love him sooo muchieee!

sometimes i really won't know what to do if uncle des is not by my side....

my blog seems dead. like me, sometimes i'm like a walking zombie, moving alongside with the mundane activities day by day. and recently, even more so.

Been tired and kind of worn out.
Apologies if I haven't been keeping an active contact with most of you and not participating much in social activities.

Perhaps it's age, don't feel like posting every single little things these days. prefer to keep things simple and to myself, my personal, low profile life.

there's been quite a change recently. My closest cousin finally returned to Singapore with her husband and 2 adorable kids to escape from the refugee days back in Fukushima for the time being.
I've been seeing to them, bringing them to places, bringing them for dinner after work etc.

They are putting up at my place. This is not a bad thing at all, the kids definitely made my place more lively. it's no more going home to an empty, quiet house with only the 4 walls to talk to.

the downside of it, the kids only converse in Japanese, great time for me to pick up my Japanese again.

Both of them are quite obedient, and all the more it made you feel like showering them with more love and gifts.

Having kids at home definitely made the home felt more like a home.

*starts to ponder again, will I ever be able to have a blissful family of my own b4 30?*
Age is catching up....there's not much time left...gone is my dream to be a young mother.
all i can do now is to envy the many other young mama's out there whose kids gave them the reason to live and work hard day-to-day.

两全其美

睡不着觉,感觉有些发闷。
无奈。
好像又对周边的一切都不怎么感兴趣了。
人生究竟有没有两全其美的事呢?

Tuesday, March 08, 2011

been a while since i had updates..maybe it's laziness, maybe it's just that there ain't anything special to shout about.

well that's human, when life becomes too peaceful, we complain that life is dull and boring.
when life gets tough and obstacles step in, we complain that life is tough.

i should say, i'm pretty contented with what i have, though i'd felt life meaningless at certain point of time, but the good thing is, there's a someone there who became the very reason on my looking forward to weekends & PHs. cos with him, weekends & PHs are no longer the same.

i might not be able to empathize on certain situations nor am i able to fully understand certain issues cos we might grow up so differently and went through different experiences altogether. But rest assure my ears are always here.
in fact, i am always here. i will want to be the first person on ur list to share your woes as well as happiness of cos.

anyways we had a lovely long weekend together with both of us taking leave on monday.
going shopping in town on a monday is fantabulous. no crowds to squeeze with.


uncle des got me this super duper cute little water bottle to be put in my handbag!
wootz...so cutee! not sure if the melody cup can give you a general idea of the size of the bottle, just picture the bottle to be as tall as any average coffee mugs ya.



handy to be carried around and not too heavy too.




and so, a lovely long weekend it has been.

even though we had quarrels, i'm glad things are ironed out so amicably at the end of the day, i guess we've yet again moved on to a further step in our relationship.

just remember, a promise is not made to be broken.

World's Most Crowded Pool!!


This incredibly crowded wave pool is located in Tokyo Summerland. During summer, it can get really hard to actually find some water inside this pool.

Check out how the waves work with this crowd...





World's Deepest Pool

It is filled with 2,500,000 liters of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 °C (86 °F) and contains several simulated underwater caves at the 10 m depth level. There are numerous underwater windows that allow outside visitors to look into the pools at various depths.

de quiet cny

nothing much and lazy to update, so here's some photos for your viewing pleasure ha.
though we ain't supposed to celeb CNY this year, uncle des & i decided to bake some honey stars on one of the rainy weekends..



tadah! they look so pretty, with uncle des help and of cos i'm spared from all the washing..
sometimes uncle des can really make me feel so blessed...but sometimes when he's pissed off with me, he can get really harsh with his words...

anyways, i'm quite satisfied with the honey stars this time round, and yea i know de zhus haven' got a chance to try at all but seems like we ain't having any cny gathering this yr..so...hehz..
also a pity uncle des don't really like to eat this kind of baked stuffs...


the last day of CNY holiday, i've finally completed the big project for uncle des....



that's close to 2 months of hard work, tons of stitching and stitching. it took much longer than expected and then i realised this diagram is pretty big and stitch-intensed, look at the body of the teddy bear....
when the cross stitches are completed, i heaved a sigh of relief, thinking woohoo finally, done with the crosses..

but here comes the challenging part, it's the outlining that is torturous!! made my eyes go cross loh, kind of difficult to spot the lines amidst the crosses in the diagram.

anyway it's a finally completed job with tons of love, effort and sweat in it...


nice? i kept reminding uncle des each and every cross is sewn on it one by one with my hands one hor, alot of hard work, he better treasure it..hehez..
and of cos each of the lil crosses also represent my love for him..ahha..uncountable!

i think now it's like just in time as his v-day pressie..ahhahaha

Love u, uncle des...thank you for everything.
