Just got back from this event. It was trully mesmerizing. My kids definately enjoyed themselves. I've managed to get a glimpse of the beginning, but not the ending, as my feet was killing me. Was on duty, so it wouldn't be nice to be caught sitting down enjoying the show. Nonetheless, it was still a good show.
I guess, it was worth it to have my kids there to witness such amazing displays and entertainment. They get to see their favourite Disney characters, especially the prince & princesses, and many more. I like their choreography and costumes.
I remembered my visit to the circus last time. It was so exciting and entertaining for me. I guess, my kids have that same feeling too. Wonder when the circus will come back to town...

Laggy Sunday
A rainy / sunny Sunday morning to begin with (still looks like it now though - afternoon/evening) Went out for breakfast with the kids, walked around, shopped a little here, window shopped a little there, felt guilty again after shopping, but felt that it was necessary (mostly for the kids...again)
Came back and started the kids revision (yea...bummer Sunday to them) but it was definately necessary, as I've been "neglecting" their studies alot more compared to last time. They are smart kids, no doubt about it, but it would still be better if they continued to receive proper guidance, and "training" to be independant in their studies (easier in the future, for them and for me)
Anyway, back to the "laggy" part, on Sunday's like these, when I have a little bit more free time at home, taking things slow, no events to attend to, a rest day from plannings and works, even the brain is functioning slower than normal days (partly also due to the sleepless night I had before that), it did take me quite some time to think and decide on what to write here...or not to write...(laggy effect still kicking in)
It will be more happening from next week onwards (for sure), and hope the laggy feeling will fade soon (really need to kick in overdrive for lots more things to come) things to get ready, plans to put into action, and lots more. And I'll probably miss my "laggy" Sundays too...

Brain Jammed
Brain is currently full of thoughts, ideas, concepts, plans, assumptions, and many more. Need to slowly let it all out to destress. Otherwise, it's overloading and abit too much for the brain to handle.
It is rather exciting. I'm really psyched about it. But it can also become a stress to me. But hey, no worries though, like what I mentioned in my previous post "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger", I guess, this is one of those times.
The feeling right now, is kinda tiring, but no matter what, I'll still see through it and hope everything goes on fine. I'm sure with some help and support from others, it's going to be OK.
"Gambateh" to self, to the others around me, and to everyone that needs it. Let's do THIS!~ orz

When Life Gets You Down, It's Not Over Yet
Lot of times, I personally sometimes feel that life is so down, feel like giving up on certain things, feel unhappy over certain matters, etc...even sometimes thought about whether the sacrifices was worth it.
By the end of the day, after clearing my thoughts, I feel that this life isn't as bad nor unfortunate as it actually seems. There ARE in fact, other people who are experiencing even worst situations.
There are lots of things I should feel grateful about, and should be lifting my spirits up, instead of pushing it down. When my marriage was down, my family was there for me. When every day life was dull, my kids would brighten it up for me. Sometimes when my kids make me crazy, my friends are there to keep me sane. When work was stressing me, colleagues are there to support me. At times even, people and even strangers around me gives inspirations and comforting encouragements.
Well, of course, if I have no money, I can't just go begging for it. That's why, I have to be even stronger and more hard working to earn it. Even though I've lost faith in love and even relationships, let's just put it aside for now then. Some things in life just have to wait, while there may be other more important things that should be prioritized for now.
So when life gets you down, it's not over just yet. There's still alot of things out there, waiting to be explored, to be fulfilled, to be experienced. It can sometimes be tough and challenging, but it may be rewarding and valuable. Priceless..maybe?

Lots To Do, Lots To Learn
There's so many things to do, so many goals to achieve, so many new things to learn, new skills to master, etc (list goes on and on and on...)
Learning is infinite, as long as we're willing to try it, to do our best in it. No matter at what age anyone is in, learning is like a "survival kit". It helps to upgrade ourselves, to evolve into something better, to equipt us with more knowledge and to gain new experiences along the way.
I'm very fortunate enough to have good people around me, who are willing to share and guide me along the way. Even though I'm pretty slow at it, and can sometimes be stubborn in changing the old habits, but I hope, with more time and opportunities, I can achieve it somehow, some day.
It sometimes feel scary too, maybe due to expectations, or scared of dissapointments, or probably lack of confidence as well. Hoping that sooner or later, with more practise, extra effort, and little bit more determination, will help me overcome this feeling.
Keep moving forward, aim straight ahead...!

Writer's Block...Again
Just when I thought having a new blog with a new theme would help and even inspire me to keep on writing...I'm suddenly faced (yet again) with writer's block.
There are of course 1001 topics to write about, but I do screen through it and select only some that can be blogged. (personal stuffs and too negative stuffs I try to avoid) I'm trying to think and write more positive things, or even funny stuffs more. So that maybe one day, when I look back at the blogs, I can smile and even laugh about it, to cheer me up when feeling down.
Is it a good thing or bad thing to be expressive ? I think that depends on the individual, how much info he/she might be willing to "share" or express. But can being too expressive (letting out too much info) cause harm or misunderstandings and even hate ? It might...perhaps...words are mightier than the sword We have to keep reminding ourselves to "mind our language"
Wonder what else I should write next...? :P

Doctor Kids
How can you tell when your kids fall ill too often or always gets injured one two many times ?
The answer is simple :
When your kids start prescribing their own medicines and telling you what to do for them
Sickness 1 - Fever "hot hot"
"Mummy, I need the "Pink" medicine" (Pink = Strawberry flavoured panadol for kids)
"I need to drink lots of water" (Fills up water tumbler to the brim on their own)
"I need cold cold" (Takes ice cube / ice pack, wrap with a small towel, puts it on forehead)
Sickness 2 - Flu / Sneezing / Cold
"Mummy, I need massage" (Massage = apply hot rub of Vicks on their chest & back)
"I have booger in my nose" (Takes tissue paper and blows nose)
Sickness 3 - Cough / Sore throat
"Mummy, I cannot drink cold water, eat ice cream, drink juice" *sulks*
"Put a little bit hot water for me please" (Fills water tumbler with mix of hot water)
"I need to swallow medicine" (Chinese herbal meds that helps clears up the phlegm)
Sickness 4 - Stomache
"Mummy, I need to rub medicine on my tummy"
"Oww...my stomach hurts" *drama*
Injury 1 - Fall / Cut / Bleeding
*Takes a plaster, peels it & sticks it on the wound
"Mummy, I need to put medicine" (Antiseptic Cream or Flavine)
Injury 2 - Itchy / Red Spots / Mosquitoe bites
"Mummy, I need to put "balm balm" (Medicated ointments for insect stings)
My elder's own experience as her own dentist : "Mummy, my tooth is going to come out" (few days or about a week later) "Mummy, I took out my tooth already. It came off by itself" I think she broke my record already.
I doubt they would be pursuing their studies in medicine or becoming future doctors/dentist, but at least they are good enough to be first aiders at home.
