i believe in tat!

wat a wake-up (rude-awakening!) call to my Boxing Day… *realitybites*
a fly in the ointment but a leopard cannot change its spots… i won’t bother, in fact! why should i… and ruin my christmas-ey and newyear-ey spirits…
*hey, it’s my CuzLen Ivan Osmund’s 29th Birthday… welcome to the Club Cuz!* HUGZ

TIME WILL TELL… i believe so too!

hope everyone had a beautiful christmas celebration, i did!
looking forward to a superb conclusion to 2006 and a bombastic year to 2007…

happy Boxing Day!

can’t believe xmas is actually here and it’s the conclusion of 2006

2006 has been a not-so-bad-after-all year for me…
- took the plunge and changed my job, wat a good&blessed plunge it was!
- left my sanctuary of 28years
- re-established friendship lost of 10yrs
- marriage is as rock-hard as the great wall of china
- am able to distinguish was is BEST for me and wat NEVER was
- appointed a private ‘financial controller‘ for my babies :p
- learn not to be bothered about lil’minutiae
- improvised my interpersonal dexterity being the MatserOfCeremony for our Firm’s annual dinner
- am a grandauntie now (TWICE!)
- yes, you CAN have platonic relationship without barrier nor insinuation!

to sum it all: i’m in my 29th year of life, am a mother of 4 gorgeous kids and i dare say i am a much stronger entity now than i’ve ever been before!

my darling girlfriends has been homeSWEEThome for a weeklong now and as at last night, we’ve been having a whole week of FUN, laughter, countless amusement, quality times, painting the town with all the colours of the RAINBOW… *yes! and, i never fall short to be in my workingplace in the morning thru evening, though i’ve had moments of being a ZOMBIE at work* this is the excellent thing when u have eminence girlfriends, you can be your own self without having to be flamboyant and ostentatious *you do everything and anything au-naturel* without failure, you’ll have a FUNtabulous and FUNtastic time together without even having the need to do anything in specific… "a true friend will know wat’s in your heart and mind without you having the need to say a word"…

my Baby has never been a purr-fect Hubby than he has ever been to me now… yes, i dare say in spite of the everything else, *again i’ll say!* our marriage IS as rock-solid as the great wall of china with a sound ground of understanding and most importantly, LOVE… beyond doubt, i love my Baby tremendously!

things’ll ensue when you least anticipate it…
little minutiae will flatter especially when it’s ingenuously tactful…
an impact left years back, devoid of realisation, is remembered beautifully…
you don’t live to gratify anyone but yourself..
family is imperative but you can’t live without friendship too…
it’s best not to have expectation at all in any way…
what goes around comes around…

my fave phrase "Live Life to the Fullest!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE…
hope u’ll have a wonderful blessed memorable blissful CHRISTMAS cheerfulness with your loved ones…
i know i will!

O heavenly Father, make me a better parent.
Teach me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they
have to say and to answer their questions kindly.

Keep me from interrupting or contradicting.

Help me to be as courteous to them as I want them to be to me.

Forbid that I should ever laugh at their mistakes or resort to shame or ridicule.

May I never punish them out of anger or spite or to show my power.

Help me, dear Lord, to demonstrate by all that I say and do that honesty does produce happiness.

Reduce, dear Lord, the meanness in me.  And when I am out of sorts, help me to hold my tongue.

May I be ever mindful that my
children are merely children and that I should not expect them to have
the maturity and judgment of adults.

Let me not rob them of the opportunity to do things for themselves or to make their own decisions.

Help me to grant them all reasonable requests and give me the courage to deny them the privileges that I think may be harmful.

Help me to be fair and just
and kind, O Lord, so that I will earn their love and respect and they
will want o imitate me. This is the supreme compliment.

Amen.

would u?    *i wouldn’t, in spite of what was said*

it’s 2 a.m. in the morning… *and, i’m not even sleepy*

Just got back from a good nightout from Stadium with hubby, richie, xtine+pascal, mark+angie… an impromptu get-together… wat a fantabulous serene night *good conversation, quality company* and, i hafta be up in abt 5 hours time for work… *realitybites*

can hardly wait for my girlfriends, pat and janice, to be home for christmastime & new year come this weekend… *we’re so gonna have a blast, paint the city RED and all the colours of rainbow* … missing them oh-so much… we might be separated by a great big ocean *lucky thing it’s only KL - KK* but, we’re never far from heart… :o) wat would my life be without my bestfriends… *i love them tons and tons : pat, janice, debbie, xtine - we understand each other so very well*

i’m expected to make some decision making pronto… if by choice, i dun intend to ; i dun want to… BUT, i may have to for the best interest of my lovedones… *i am so physically, mentally, emotionally ‘drained out’… after work today, i just tuck myself in with my lil’Princess Faye, snuggled up in my bed seeking solace in dreamland for 3 hours*

please, please GOD… grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and, Wisdom to know the difference…

i am in a melancholy mode this week and it’s only Wednesday predawn… *and, omg! it’s only mid-week*

COME WHAT COME MAY… *que sera sera*

city sidewalks, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style
in the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
children laughing, people passing
meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you’ll hear

can’t believe it’s gonna be christmas in 12 days time…
