If you're guessing what I think you're guessing, you're probably guessing it right. I've decided to quit my old habit for good, for our good to be precise.
I know KZ, you're thinking "Yeah, yeah, here she goes again. Let's see how long it will last this time." Believe me, I'm thinking the same thing. But I'm really serious about it this time around, and I will do my best not to give in to the craving.
So far, success for a week. It's not easy, really. The longest I've had success for was about 3 months, damn. And now I'm starting to experience the withdrawal symptoms and it's obvious with my trembling hands. And after meals, oh God, I just want to cave and give in!
So what gives, right? Kelv and I are trying for Junior, that's why. Yeap, you heard it right. I think I'm ready and the more I spend time with Titus the more I'm convinced. Another it-won't-be-easy path to take but I want to. I know I will make it through with God's grace and with Kelv, holding my hand.
We're in this together, for better or for worse. Wish me (and us) luck.

I'm done procrastinating. After so many weeks of putting off blogging, I'm finally writing down my thoughts and feelings. My bestie mentioned blogging is not for others but for yourself when I mentioned, who cares? Maybe, maybe not. Whether this gets read or not, I might re-read my posts one day and this post may trigger some memories.
Speaking of memories, the current novel I'm reading is just about that. After suffering a fall, the main character has head injuries and starts to loose her memory slowly. How painful is that? I rather be physically unwell than mentally, anytime. And to loose my precious memories, both good and bad is just unthinkable! How can I forget my childhood, growing up, my life experiences, my important decisions, my mistakes, my pain, my joys and most importantly my loved ones. I will never want to forget any part of my life.
And life, so far has been good. Thanks be to God. The mere thought of my existence baffles me and the amount of blessings that has been poured upon me graciously by Our Father leaves me speechless. I have climbed out of the pits, the lowest period of my edu-consultant career in 3 years, with His strength. What doesn't kill you truly makes you stronger. I am confident nothing is worse than what I've gone through in the month of May. Each night I laid sleepless and each day I am so pressured and stressed by the burden of the work, I have constant chest pains. But it is all over now and thought the end results are not what we (my team) envisioned, we know we've tried out best. And I humbly believe God has His reasons and though I cannot see it now, it must be a blessing in disguise!
There are so many things we fail to see. The little blessings we are experiencing, the luxuries of life we take for granted, the loved ones we always think will be there for us. As I look back on the past 2 months I have not been blogging about, the experiences and the daily routines are special in their own ways. The little achievements at work, the new office environment, the weekends with Kelv and some weekdays by his sweet efforts to spend time with me, the time I get to spend with our families and other acitivies are too many to list down one by one.
It will not be easy with the recession (still), the H1N1 pandemic, the stress and burdens of work yet I am thankful, and with hope and faith I know the days ahead will just get better.

Amazingly we survived Hong Kong and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Having toyed with the idea of visiting HK and then changing our minds almost 3 times, we finally made the trip there last week for my birthday celebration! All thanks to the riots in BK, we changed our destination to the busy and highly advanced island. Four days and three nights of exploring, walking, shopping, getting drenched in the thunderstorm, eating HK delicacies and dim sum, we're back to the reality of our busy work schedules all too soon. Photos from my trip on facebook =]
Here are what we liked about HK:
1. The ultra-convenient transportation! Easily accessible and well prepared for tourists and not-too-Chinese visitors like us!
2. The Octopus card, it must be world's best card coz u can use it for any transportation like the MTR, bus, tram, ferry, and for anything like shopping, dining and access to the Sky Terrace up on The Peak!
3. The awesome architecture of the buildings! Tiny little apartments on one 60 storey block or a building up on a hill.
4. Information posts along the streets with clear instructions on how to reach the exact spot.
5. Did I mention HK is super convenient? We used the in-town check in facilities and had time to explore and shop before going off for our flight!
And here are what we don't like about HK:
1. The customer service staff are rude! The hotel staff were unhelpful! When asked where's a good dim sum place, she just said B1...DUH! And the owners of small restaurants weren't welcoming and served us with a stuck up attitude, like "yeah what you want" and just dropping the utensils on the table when we requested for them.
2. The sound of the red/green man at the traffic light junctions. It's meant for the blind but its super irritating! And the funny thing is the amber light comes on for both the red and green lights, I'd be confused if I drove in HK!
3. The night markets that open late and close as early as 11.30pm! When asked one vendor simply replied, it's no longer night after midnight! What the...
Well that's all I can think of for now. But we really had a good time and it was perfect to steal some time alone with hubbi undistracted by our work!

we're settled
well, almost! only left the wall decor, plants and we will be having our housewarming very very soon...this month, I promise! So we redid the water feature, demanded the useless ID to redeem himself and voila:
And if you have forgotten how the old "well" (ala The Ring's well) looked, here's the before and after comparison...
Complete makeover right? Isn't it amazing how the useless idiot could get it right on his second attempt and couldnt even get close to what we wanted on his first try? Seriously I wonder. I just cannot comprehend, we showed him the same pictures and same video of what we wanted and he just could not deliver the first time. Talk about efficieny!
Now that the worst is over, we are breathing a lot easier and better and last Saturday I had my part-time cleaner to clean the whole place up! For fifty bucks, she scrubbed and vacumned and mopped and cleared all the dust and dirt away! I passed her with 75 marks, okay so my expectations are a lot higher, but at least she will be coming back again haha.
Alrighty, off to watch Fast and Furious 4 now...Vin Diesel and Paul Walker here I come! Vrooom....
