I've Got Mail

This is a DEADLY (Drop Everything And Do Layout... Yeah!) layout! I am soooo touched by the lovely note that Xun wrote and illustrated especially for me : )


I am thinking of printing the same note onto a T-shirt!

10 Years

I am not too sure if it really has been a decade already. 10 years is a long time... and yet it seemed so recent that we just signed on the line.

Hmmm... I never really thought about how life will be like after we got married. I mean, I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I could not really imagine the reality of household chores and maintenance of house and payment of bills, and raising children and keeping our marriage going. All these amidst transitions as we switched jobs, as our children grow up, and as circumstances around us changed.

I am blessed to have you by my side on this life journey. We learned about living togeher and building our future together and making the marriage work together and facing life changes together. We learned about growing up and growing old together.

I do not deny that some days I asked myself why did I marry you (exasperation!).

Despite all the differences and hiccups and fights and frustrations we had, I am thinking if I have another chance, there is no one else I want to do this all over again. I am thankful for you, for us.

Thank You

this one is for Lei's swim coach.



My son has been quote a challenge to coach over the last one year that he's with Speediswim. He has been throwing tantrums at the poolside, and disrupting the lessons. But the coach has been most understanding and patient with him.

I strongly believe that, other than swimming skills, there are important life skills that my son has to learn at the swimming pool. Like respect for the authority of the coach, endurance of unfavourable environment conditions, discipline to keep up with the training week after week, perseverance in mastering swimming skills through training and practice.

And I sincerely thank the coach for teaching Lei all these in one way or another, as he patiently show him the techniques, and guide him to correct his errors, and encourage him to keep trying.

Thank you, Mr Lim, for not "giving up" on my son. Through this period, you have made a difference in Lei's life.

Are You Two Friends?

Today I want to thank someone special. IG.

Someone once asked us, "Are you two friends?"

And I answered, "No lah, we're not friends... Our sons are friends. We meet up only because our sons want to meet up..."

Hahaha! What was I saying? Of course, we're friends. We took the leap of faith to meet up one day for coffee. I am so comfortable with her; somehow we just click.

And the icing on the cake is that our sons click too. They enjoy each other's company and love playing together.

So we became "partners in crime", regularly meeting up with our boys in tow. She is always thinking of where to go and what to do with our boys - she has so much ideas and she's always so game to try anything... she inspires and motivates me to make time for my boys!

I am thankful our boys are friends. I am even more thankful we're friends.
