2024 - Where did the years go?

I am now in my 40s! My last blog post was in 2019, just after a post-op appendicitis removal. This last few years has been a journey of growth and discovery. I took the opportunity to reevaluate my priorities. What truly matters to me? Family, health, career, and personal fulfilment have become central themes. …

The Road to Recovery

14 Feb 2019. Valentine’s Day. At the stroke of midnight, I was in a cab heading to the hospital, getting myself checked for suspected appendicitis. By the time everything was checked and confirmed, it was close to 4am, and I was in the observation ward waiting to be wheeled to my room. …

2019 and Counting

Time flies. February 2019 sees us celebrating Chinese New Year, taking time off to visit relatives and friends. As we grow older, the significance and importance of such ties grow. Without family, we will not be who we are today. 2018 went by in a relatively short time. It was a good year. There were many things to be thankful for and I am hoping that 2019 would continue in the same vein. Arrival of Baby G late last year signified a new beginning. And whatever we thought we knew, or thought that we were experts when it comes to...…

2017-05-07 There’s another one on it’s way! 12 December 2017 - That’s the official pop date, but it’s going to be early, and things are going to change once again! Excited - Yeah! Happy - Somewhat… Worried - definitely! We were at the clinic - waiting - and it brings back memories. Scary ones, and also happy ones. But the scary ones are always the worse. The uncertainty, the fear, and yet, within there’s always hope for a new beginning. When I first saw the scan, I was overjoyed - seeing the little one, all curled up. Assuming all goes...…

Hello 2017

Hello 2017. Goodbye 2016. I am looking forward to 2017. I will be starting a new career, and finally after trying out different options and career paths in the last few years, I am finally embarking on one more truer to heart - and for that I am thankful. In 2016, I experienced first hand the difficulties of the construction / M&E industry. Rarely have I been pushed to my limits, but there were many instances when I felt both lost and out of depth. But there’s always a silver lining. Through the job, I found a true friend. Moving...…
