HELLO 2016!

*waves hands*

The last time I actually blogged was in Sep 2015.

Goodness,

where have I been?

Anyway, my 2015 has been a pretty awesome one,

because:

1. Alonso, 

the new addition to the LEE family.

He is probably the main reason (99.99%) why I think 2015 is awesome.

To be able to have both a daughter and a son is really a blessing.

I prayed sooooooo hard for a son, really!

I'm not saying that to have all sons or all daughters is bad,

but having 1 each, kind of allows me to say "ok, target met, factory can close down now!"

I am very blessed,

really really blessed.

Thank you God!

2. Arissa

I am always thankful for this cheeky dino obsessed girl.

She is the sunshine in my life,

the reason why I can smile despite a bad day at work.

Actually work is not bad, just that sometimes it frustrates me to no end.

I live for her hugs and kisses.

Every time she wants Mummy, it makes me secretly proud and immeasurably happy.

3. Bei,

the husband.

Another person that I'm always thankful to have,

though I may not show it.

The disciplinarian in the house.

The one who is more involved with the kids than me.

The one who works hard for the family.

The one who still makes my heart flutter even after so many years,

even though most of the time, he irritates me to no end

and I imagine myself stepping on his face too often lol.

4. Family,

both sides.

Some may fail you,

but most do not and I'm thankful for that.

5. Work

I just wish that I can do the work of what a CA do.

Or rather, earn what a CA earns.

Sighs, I think I'm in my comfort zone.

Actually, to me, work is just work.

I've always wanted to climb up higher and faster,

but being a woman and being pregnant will in 1 way or another slow things down.

When things slow down, it seems to just stay that way.

I've lost the direction and became less ambitious,

maybe because of well, kids.

Being a woman is not easy,

you either choose to focus on your career and risk neglecting your family

OR

you focus on your family and your career comes to a standstill with not much progression.

Of course, I chose my kids, my family.

So depressing to talk away work LEH!!! 

2016 RESOLUTIONS

1. LASIK

this resolution, I can tick it in Jan (oh YEAH BABY!)

2. ARISSA'S EDUCATION

I found the perfect school (just 1 street away from our house!),

BUT the class is full -_-"

WHYYYYYY!!!!

In the meantime, she will be home-schooled,

by none other than the disciplinarian, Papa.

The curriculum (2 hours) will be:

Monday, Tuesday: English

Wednesday: Chinese

Thursday: Maths

Friday: Science

LOL, how to teach Science?

Hmm, we shall see how it goes then...

3. ALONSO'S 1 YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY PARTY

We have had our eyes set on the venue

(the one we couldn't manage to get for Arissa's 1 year old party)

Kiasu husband asked me to book the venue

and I have emailed and right now, waiting for the proposal.

I'm contemplating if I should secretly book the baker for the birthday cake.

The last time, we (mostly the husband actually) baked Arissa's cake ourselves.

I remember the lack of sleep and the countless trip to the supermarkets and cake supplier shop.

The husband said we should also bake Alonso's cake.

Please NOOOOOOOOooooo please!

4. WEIGHT

I just want to be 48 kg again!

HAHAHA, 

is that even possible!?

5. CUT DOWN ON ONLINE SHOPPING

Notice that I did not say quit,

because that is not realistic and asking for the impossible.

6. BLOG MORE

Oh yes, blogger mom leh, lol!
