Life is Fragile

This is my reflection over the past two weeks after attending funeral back to back within 2 weeks. I have some talks with hubby over the car ride, 10 years ago we were busy planning and attending wedding either ourselves, friends, family. Then 5 years ago we were busy planning and attending baby's babtism, 1st birthday. Today, we are attending the other sides of life which is death and funeral. It may not be a happy occasion for most of us, saying goodbye is always the hardest words. Everyday I imagine myself either me or my hubby who will leave first and whether I am ready for that. The answer is I don't know. What I know is I want to enjoy the presence, live to the fullest each day like today is my last day. By the end of the day, I always asking myself, are there any persons whom I have hurt or hold the grudge with? Are there anything in the world that I am attached  a little bit too much ? What is my life purpose and vocation ? Have I lived my life according to God's wi...

2nd Vaccination done

Yeayy finally we have completed our vaccination and waiting for the vaccine to take effects in 2 weeks time. As I didn't have major issues on my first jab, I expect the same thing for this 2nd dose. I boost myself with protein shake before and after jabs. As I can't exercise for a week, I replace it with walking 5km to get natural Vitamin D. So far so good, it's just a bit tired than normal day.

Protein Booster Date (July 2021)

In the morning, I fall down on my final lap during morning jogging. I had abrassions in my knee, shoulder and elbow. It's my first fall after so many years in my adulthood. I tried to self-medicate however, the wound in my knee didn't seem good. It's still wet and the blood was still dripping thus I decided to see doctor to make sure that there's no infection. Since it's public holiday, the GP charged surcharge price which is S$125 in total inclusive the medication.  After that, my hubby tried to console me by bringing me to yakiniku place. Yes, we missed GyuKaku in Jakarta, our favourite place for date. Then after we tried this yakiniku Like, we loved it. It's still below Gyu Kaku but with that price, we can't complain and it's still delicious. This is our last date before going for another Ph 2 Heightened for another 3 weeks.

Self - Care after Hectic Weekends

After hectic weekends, finally this weekend I am able to do self care. I decided to trim and change my hairstyle while keeping my medium length hair and re-dye my hair with dark brown. It costs me S$89 in total but I am very satisfied and feel good about myself. Below is the hair style that I want to have and boom...the hair dresser is able to style as I want.

Vitamin H needed

It's almost been a year and half that we stuck in Singapore. I feel that I can manage well since I have a lot of things to be taken care of and no pressure in my work. However, lately I notice that my mind may not in a good state unknowingly. I am so easy to be cranky and throwing tantrum for the small little things that my kids do if not meet my expectations. Like never cleaning up the table, not doing their homework, making a fuss or even asking many questions while I am doing my work. And the peak is today, I feel broke down after a year and half manage to be a strong woman. I think I really need a vacation that I can enjoy and pampering myself, do nothing and straightening my mind to affirm what I really want. I am not sure when is the day that I can look forward into it.

Surprise Anniversary Cake from our close friends

We received 2 surprise cakes from our best friends cum children's godparents and also from our cellgroup. We are so blessed receiving them, thank you for all the best wishes from our friends as well.

Staycation - 13th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Secondly, we celebrated with our children and we chose staycation as we haven't been able to travel outside Singapore for a year and half. We chose Fairmont Hotel as we could use our membership point to offset the hotel price. We got upgraded with nice view facing the pool and bay, received welcome drink and complimentary cake for our anniversary. The room was huge and spacious and the kids loved it. It's just the facility is not meant for family, they only have swimming pool for the children to play. After we arrived, we had Sunday Mass for an hour before the kids went for swimming.  As the hotel's location was so convenient with the mall, we decided to take away our dinner from the mall. Everyone was happy and slept well. The next morning, while the kids having second round of swimming, I exercised at the gym.  Then we had a new normal breakfast which we need to split the table into 3. Not the ideal way to have family meals together but we had no choice :P After checked o...

(Early celebration) Happy 13th Wedding Anniversary

We decided to celebrate our 13th Wedding anniversary celebration twice. First, just the two of us and we chose Saturday night which is 2 days earlier from our actual D-Day. I picked Mr.Stork, at Hotel Andaz Rooftop as I saw some reviews how amazing is the view and the food price is pretty reasonable with that kind of view. And when we reached there, it's a sunset time. The weather was so perfect and it's just in time where we could see Singapore flag was carried by helicopter as the SAF performing rehearsal for National Day next month. We ordered 1 mocktail for me and snack platter and dessert platter. The food was perfect for 2 as we haven't had dinner and had early lunch. It's definitely a precious moment to remember.
