I find that an aspect of my life is very much maneuvered by the condition of my mother in law.

Lately, she has not been in one of her best mood and has been self-inflicting on herself. She can't sleep properly which resulted everyone in the house the same. Sigh..just when I thought things were pretty smooth with the help of our maid, good things just couldn't last. 

The day care centre called today to keep us updated on her current condition. She is totally incoherent, can't be left alone at toilets, having weird actions, etc. At least the nurse did not blurt the worst thing that I would want to hear - to reject her. I sort of resigned to fate, left her very dependently with the maid because there are just too much to worry and care for the time being. Call me selfish or whatever, but I do believe I have done my best to keep my sanity going. At times, I wish I am alone.

A strawberry shortcake for Diana's bdae

The glass is simply too huge for Maverick

A week ago, we had a mini gathering with Diana. As it was her birthday the following day, we gave her a mini surprise with a strawberry shortcake from Canele.

Sunday, 7 Feb 2009 - A day more and Ernest will be flying off. Suddenly, I don't feel like him going :( How I wish I can be there too.

A-Mei's concert

At first, I wasn't sure why I agreed to go for her concert since I am not a big fan of hers, new songs not very sure of...Probably must be the all time favourite of her earlier album songs that drew me to the concert. Luckily, she sang quite a handful that I am familiar with :)

The dome-shaped stage wasn't impressive when we enter the concert hall but it was awesome when the lights are up! Impressive! The guitarists, background vocal team were very impressive too! They rock! I enjoyed myself very much!

Holidays plan

We are 2 weeks away from Bangkok holiday but before that, Ernest will be travelling to Paris for a conference. The usual stubborn him refused to bring any thermal wear despite February being the coldest month. Anyways....

We planned Paris-London and/or Morroco trip in Septermber initially and now it has been changed to June instead. A very happy me is super duper excited about this trip that it makes me decided not to get another Chanel bag this month. Ok, sounds very thrifty ah.. I hope the holiday plan works, not like last year our New Zealand was called off due to some household/work issues.

Nothing is permanent

Stress comes when we want to hold on tightly. Embrace. Think optimistically. In life, nothing is permanent, except change. We'll move on...

A week more...and January 2010 will be gone...

Know its a bit too late to write about this post - January simply pass too fast for me to catch up to reflect. It was Kris's wedding to kick start 2010 and then my first holiday in 2010. And I looked at the calendar, its already 23 Jan 2010. Very fast indeed.

I sat at Starbucks for the past 2 mornings to enjoy my coffee and to have some time for myself before I went up to office. No doubt, its the peak period at work - I should be seated in office going through the to-do list for year-end. I never doubt the fact, busy. I hate to go through this and hate to say, its my ricebowl. Never worked for passion, only money and not like the money is enough to go through all the shit. Its okay.

These 2 mornings, especially this morning was a truly effective. I then recap, reflect and re-visit my 2009. Don't feel like stating them here though. Not sure if I want 2010 to be like 2009, a "step by step" year as I do not wish to pressurize myself so much. However, I always wish for an upsize bank account from my savings and investments - No room for financial mistakes and wonderful holidays to live my life to the fullest. These 2 are my top priorities for the time being and anything else, till then I'll think and talk again.
