Ha ha I thought I will never pick up amother book again before my baby is 5 yrs old... But I did!
I was suprised at it too..
My niece is currently very into this Stephenie Meyer's books and she graciously lend me hers for reading.
This is a 4 book series.. This is a young adult read, so the story line is more focus on the simple love instead of the adult romance where all the complicated love triangles come into play.
Story is about a girl, Isabella Swan who went to live with her father is a small town. From there she meet a strange boy in her class and the adventure wanders from there. She went on to fall in love with Edward, a vampire. and of course with each book, their love gets tested & becomes stronger..
I find this kinda story refreshing... a step away from the love triangles and complicated love stories..
But my obsessions are making it hard for me..
I have a bad habit.. When I start a book, I must, compelled to finish the book in one seating.. but time is against me and I hated it.. Time always flies when I am reading.. so much so that I don't really read unless I am on the bus and my stop is the last one.. but the agony of not finishing the story... is like an addict being denied of his drug.. like a vampire denied of blood...
But I learnt to stop that feeling.. Self control is the way to freedom :P

I did it again...
Wondering what I did??
Well I made Jimmy made at me again this morning.. We bought chocolates yesterday and I left it in the car. He saw it this morning and made a remark about me not bringing the chocolates back home...
I couldn't be bothered & told him that I will bring the chocolates back to office so that it will not have a chance to melt in his car! And that is it.. he was mad at me.. And this time round I don't know how long it will last..
Actually this unhappiness can be avoided if I had just admit that it's my fault and said sorry, his unhappiness would have dissolved in an instant.. But I am really feeling a little tired to be the one saying sorry all the time..
I know that most of the time I am really the one at fault.. I am, by nature a more blunt and straight person.. Sometimes I can be blur as well and not to mention I have a very quick temper.. As such, there are times when I made some fast hurtful remarks.. After some apologies and 'sai nai-ing' I will be forgiven.. But there are times when I really feel that it is not my fault.. but in order to keep peace, I apologise. In my line of work, if an apology can solve the problem, we won't hesitate to offer it...
So there comes s time when I am really tired of apologising and this morning happens to be one of those times...
Haiz.. I hope his anger would have dissipated by this evening.......

Time Not Enough!!!
This line seems to be coming out of my mouth very often ever since I went back to work. But reflecting the times I spent at home with my baby, I dun seems to have a lot of time on my hands during that period too!
I always have a lot of admiration for those super women who craved out a career for themselves & at the same time handle their domestic matters so well.. Where on earth did they manage to find so much time to do so many things?!?!
Everyone of us have the same 24 hrs.. so why is it that they can accomplish so much in their 24 hrs and I can't?
Of course I know that comparisons of this kind lead to nowhere but I can't help pondering over this some times..
It's like my colleague, Cynthia. She has done a blog for her daughter to record her childhood and she did, so consistently. She also has been nagging at me to do it up for Ocean but I have always told her that I have no time. Then I realise that she too has 24hrs and she too has to take care of her Arielle at night... Our only big difference now is that her Arielle is 1 yr going to 2...
So it all boils down to - choice.
So I want to spend my time watching TV ( when baby is sleeping) or do I want to spend time doing up his blog. My sister asked me, why bother to do so when he don't understand all of this.. I told her now he don't understand but when he grows up, he will! and of course when he is all grown up, I will then hand his blog over to him to take care.. Then he can, when ever he is free, blog down some important things that has happened to him.
The funny thing is that after saying that to her, I found myself being convinced of the explanation..
So while I was bathing just now, I came to a conclusion and decision, I am going to blog for my son religiously till he is able to do it himself. and I am going to strive to be a super woman.. Not in the job field but at least to the people I loved, liked and treasure..
Well that's food for thought the next time!

Oh my god!
Haiz who else but my precious can warrant such a huge reaction..
He was playing in the study, meddling with the cork memo board and suddenly it fell on him.. Now I wasn't too worried about that cos this is not the first time he made the board fall on him. The cork board, as the name mentioned, is made of cork, so it actually doesn't hurt him at all..
What unexpected is that my photo behind the board also fell this time...
I was shocked and quickly went to his rescue.. but too late, the harm is done.. I was so 心痛 to hear his wails...
Now can only pray that this will not leave a scar on his head...

Tired
Can really feel the tiredness these days.. Am I getting old? Or is it just mental fatigue?
Am really looking forward to this Saturday. Finally a rest day! Have been working for the past 2 Saturdays.. Could it be why I am so tired? But I have tried working for 3 Saturdays in a row and I am not this tired..
Just feel like dropping everything and take a rest....
