Fats aplenty

Fats, flabby arms and tummy.

I see them now aplenty.

I run and hide whenever there is any thing reflective.

But alas,

Inside the lift I could not hide

Mirrors, mirrors all over the walls

In my desperate attempt to hide from the mirrored walls

I kept my eyes glued on the LCD screen.

It was not easy, I almost let out a scream.

They were there all the time,

but consciously, I avoided them.

After two pregnancies and lots of late dinners,

they decided to make their presence felt.

Now I know they are here to stay.

How to chase them away?

A mother's fight

I hate to post something sad.

But I can't help myself but to post the below....



As a mother of 3 gals, I can feel and empathised with the mother's fight for her daughter's life.

I can't help but tear at the photos of a healthy little gal, and knowing that she might not live past this year. And the fact that her mother has not stopped fighting for her daughter's life.

Then I did something.

I transferred a little amount of money to the account. It was a small amount and I could only afford that much with our mountain of debts.

It felt right. I m not making myself feel better but I felt compelled to contribute to the fight simply becoz I m a mother too.

I pray little Charmaine would be healthy again and her mum to be happy again.

Remembering Paul

Found this in a little corner of my heart...

当优愁围绕着我
我感到不知所措
仿佛整个世界停止了转动

星星不再闪烁
泪水一直滑落
为什么一切只剩沉默

我知道在我最需要你的时候
你会来爱我
你会来疼我

你就是我的希望
你就是我的答案
你给我力量克服一切困难

我不再感到孤单
只要你在我身旁
永远在我心房
在我心房

Life is a blur....

6 months have passed since I updated my blog.

Lemme see....hmmm...how my life has evolved since I started this blog.

I started the blog in Jan 2006.

3 years and 5 months later, I got married to a wonderful man, moved house twice, bought a car and gave birth to 3 adorable daughters.

I thought life would be less hectic and active and I would have lesser to worry as I grow older,

but I was wrong...it seems to get more packed and I got more things to worry in my mind now.

It's tough to find time for me and mr Fat, not to mention a little 'me' time for myself.

I guess this is another phase of my life.

As a mother of three, a wife to an equally frazzled man, a daughter to two sets of parents, life can be so hectic that everything and everyday seems like a blur and simple pleasures such as savouring a bowl of piping hot laksa slowly can make me so happy..

I sometimes shout in silence, tell myself in my mind;

Eileen, you can do it! Jiayou!

Or look at photos of my babies for motivation and....

tell myself,

It's all worth it!

Busy Nov

Nov is a busy month for me at work...every weekend is packed with events...

My desk is very cluttered and I need to spend at least 2 days tidying up my filing...maybe I will do that in dec...sigh....

Nov is also a busy month for me for my personal events....I m moving house this month!!! On top of all these, I m worrying about my twins...they are so much smaller than yy at 21 weeks..one of them even had measurement that falls out of the normal range!

So worried :(

Had to tell myself to take it easy...

All my troubles momentarily went away whenever I see her....

Home reno jitters

Renovation is a hassle...

Anything and everything can go wrong.

To think that we spent a bomb on purchasing the flat and another bomb on the reno...

I feel like pulling my hair whenever things dun turn out as what is seen from the 3D drawings.


Hair tugging moments

I was so worried about our aircon trunking...seeing some really bad ones done up in some homes...

Alas, ours turned out quite concealed and 'invisible'...relieved...

We had issues with the plaster walls, some were not as useable and pretty-looking as in the drawings..we had them rectified in the nick of time...

The kitchen sink concrete stand and the washing machines concrete base had us up in arms too. We protest and got their measurements changed.

Painting was not done entirely according to our instructions; but heck, maybe the contractor knows best...who knows?

Lights and fan are up but we were not a bit wee surprised that something will have to go wrong...the fan regulator is not in line with the light switches.


Hair pulling moment of the whole reno process

Carpentry works start.

Every single carpentry item = Needs some form of rectification

From the wardrobe to the kitchen cabinet to the shoe cabinet to the TV console....they look so wrong...

I shudder in fear to see how the most expensive item in our reno contract turns out eventually...mr Fat says he got it all sorted out with the contractor...I hope he's right...


Minor works not done yet : fixing of accessories, curtains, installation of water and gas...

We will see how lor...see how...


View from my service yard takes the heat away from the reno jitters
