All down with sore throat

Now the hubby, our darling and myself are having sore throat. I am having blocked nose and slight fever. I just went to see a doctor and got some medicines.
Last time I used to hesitate in seeing a doctor until my sickness gets pretty serious. But since last year incident (I was admitted into hospital due to vertigo. Started from a flu infection. And stayed on bed for nearly two months), I get very worried whenever I have flu. And of cos, I do not want to be virus carrier to my loves.

Hope everyone in the house get well soon.

Mood: Lousy & unwell

I am having bad sore throat and hand/leg aching and menses cramp and stomachache. These just make me feel so sick and feel lousy. Wonder why all comes at the same time.

Mood :: Apprehensive and restless...



- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

So what's next?

Current moment
We have been back from Bahamas almost two months. Faith has settled down with her new daily routine. As for myself, I have been busy with endless house chores, unpacking boxes from last year move-in and brainlessly watching Taiwanese and Korean dramas. I got so obsessed that I could watch till 5am and wake up at 9am to ferry Faith. I decided to put this obsession to a stop by downloading movie rather than serials. Hee.

Well.. Unpacking is almost done. Hopefully I could fully complete by end of next week.

I have been thinking what should I be doing after that. I definitely don't want to be a bummer and I want to contribute to family income. I felt bad of putting my hubby as sole breadwinner ever since I left my previous job a year ago. But I have been hesitating to go back to corporate work, not because of stress or I want to be a housewife. It is more on our intention to have second kid in very near future. And partly also I have not find out what I really want to do.

*****
What's next?
Well... After much repetitive thinkings and too much uncertainties, I think I will reach nowhere if I continue pondering. I shall just move on and get a job. In this way I will get to pay my own bill and also not away from corporate world for too long. Since the MC last April, I sort of learn that sometime I should not plan too far ahead and worry too much. Things might just happen otherwise and screwed up entire plan and most of time is beyond our control.

*****
Things I will miss most
I will definitely miss the days I snuggle with my girl when she wake up in the morning. I will miss the days I ferry her to and fro and our little conversations in the car. I will miss preparing her school bag and surprise her with little snack. I will miss the days we waited patiently for her dad to off work and have dinner together.

Strangely I don't feel that I will miss the days I doing unpack and house chores. I took a lot of time doing these when I at home. And I don't feel that i will miss the time I spend in watching serials. I spent much time on this too.

*****
Endure. Constant reminder to control my neg. thinking and temper.
I will have to learn to live with my MIL. I hope just my MIL. It worries me a lot when my FIL said he wants to rent out their flat and move into our apartment. Sigh.. As I will not be able to ferry Faith, I will need my MIL to stay with us during weekdays to take care of Faith. I hope my hubby could make an arrangement that we could have just only three of us family time during the weekend.

*****
For now, I just have to focus on my unpacking and Faith's home activities' materials so I could move on to my job seeking. Hope this is smooth sailing.

Wish me lots of luck in coming new chapter of my life.

Quote :: Change it if you don't like it!

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. - Mary Engelbreit

I used to be (I am still sometimes in my deeper heart) angry with the person, who made remarks that are not soothing to my ears. But lately I realized that if I don't change the way I think and my response to her remarks, it will just make me more and more angry and get me nowhere.

So to counter this, I have been telling myself don't get affected by what she said and if possible, think of a response to stop her from repeating the remark.

My hubby once told me no point keep complaining and take action to change it.

I decided to write this post to remind myself whenever this quote slis off my mind.

Life back in Singapore

For past 1-2 weeks, I have been busy with unpacking and cleaning up the house. It is not just the stuffs we brought back from Bahamas. We moved in our current place sometimes early 2010 but we seldom stayed here as my hubby travelled frequently so I stayed at my parents' place for quite a while. Only sometimes 4th quarter 2010, then we moved in permanently. But no long after, we went to Bahamas. Boxes from our move are still lying around and now I feel more obligated to clean up the mess as I no longer can stand the mess and wanted my hubby and girl have a neater place to stay in.

Life back in Singapore is more boring. Well. Packing and unpacking is seldom fun isn't it. Every morning I will send my girl to PIL place and went for breakfast before I think what I going to clean up for the day. Then I will work on the area till 5 plus and went for a cold shower before I went to pick up my hubby. We will then have dinner together before we went to fetch our girl. Sometimes I will fetch Faith before I fetched my hubby. Since I don't cook, our weekend is not so much on food stores hopping. Things we did during our weekend in Bahamas, we no longer doing. We do things we don't get to do in Bahamas like window shopping in huge shopping mall and look around for nice food places. Strangely, I can't eat as much I ate in Bahamas even the food here is more tasty and varieties.

Some unhappy news so far since we are back :
1. my MBA repair cost me $642. Pretty upset over this esp. my warranty is just days over before I sent to repair. I have to repair with no other choice. Lessons learnt from this: ONE. Digitalize all warranty cards. My hubby could have send it for repair earlier when he back for training two months ago. TWO. Regular backup is essential as you never know when the laptop will fail us. I have too much crucial information and my last backup is quite sometime back.
2. my iphone is giving way too. Sometimes, receivers can't hear me.
3. my dad had a mild stroke. Good new is that he is recovering well.
4. the fridge we gave my dad is spoilt and warranty is over. I hope the repair doesn't cost them much.
5. my hubby's lens repair is costly and now has to send back HK to repair as it is still under HK warranty.

So far my cleaning tasks are on schedule and I can't wait to see our house in showroom condition. Haha... a bit too much to ask for but showroom is always so nice to stay in.

Leaving Bahamas...

My hubby has finished his job in Bahamas and we are all packed to go back Singapore. Our girl did not want to leave. She always said "This is a beautiful land. I want to stay here forever." I think she enjoyed the amount of time we have together as compared back home. She somehow knew that life will not be the same after we go back. She cried silently in the taxi van we took from our house @ Paradise Island to International Airport.

As for myself, I will definitely miss the times we have together. Our dinner together every night. My chats with hubby on daily updates. By 7pm, we usually finished our dinner and rest of night is just family time. My everyday moments with our girl even though I complained a lot. Her grandparents will take over the daily care when we back Singapore. I definitely miss her seeing her whole day and her smiles and her cheekiness. My daily cooking for hubby and our girl. I will miss everythings we have done together in this land.

It is a long journey home. 1.5 days in the air. (We are flying on 31st August 2011 morning and reaching Singapore 2nd September 2011 morning.) With 7 check-in baggages and 3 cabin baggages.  Majority are Faith's stuffs and her schoolwork materials. We still have some stuffs in Bahamas, hoping my hubby's collegue could bring it back for us.

Knowing that distance, I don't think I will be back Bahamas again unless my future job required me to. This makes me misses the fabulous beaches and people in Bahamas.

I will miss you, Bahamas.
