Moving on..


It has been a long while since I blogged..
Mainly cuz it was such a major project moving the boys back..
and since then, so many things have happened..

I got sucked so badly into work..
that sleeping is a luxury, much less blogging..

But the coming of 2010, gave me a stark wake up call..
In a space of 24 hours, and the 7 days following that,I have welcomed a baby to the world, only to lose my cousin immediately the next day, and then a close friend 2 days after that..

Today marks the last day of the funeral..
But that did not mark the last day of the pain and shock I still feel.

And it puts many things in perspective.
Both my cousin and my friend left us in a sudden, shocking manner, both healthy and young..

And here I am, staring at my last blog entry of 6 months ago, realising how badly work has just embroiled me in its midst till I do not have much time to rest, and obviously not much time with kids as well..

Hence, this day, I promise myself...

The only way to battle FATE'S capriciousness is to live life to the fullest everyday, and If Tomorrow Never Comes, we will have no regrets, and we will leave our loved ones beautiful memories that can fill the void of our departure.

On my way home earlier, I heard this again on radio..
I believe in signs.. and all these, if they are meant to be signs, then I am meant to have learnt something..

Hi Miao

Sorry to hear about your cousin and friend...

What you said is very true...sometimes, we get so caught up with many "seemingly important" things that we fail to appreciate the simple joys of life.Esp so when there are so many things to distract us - children, home management, aspirations and others.

Thanks for sharing and the reminder!

hi dear, thanks for this post, i've missed u, wondering how you n the boys are doing n how your move back to S'pore went. i'm really sorry to hear about your cousin and friend. your "live life to the fullest" reminder strikes a chord with me. we're always so carried away with the everyday hustle and bustle, we overlook the precious moments to savour.

u take care, n blessings to u n NJ n your three precious Baos in this new year!
