tml is my birthday.
but for once, i don't really feel like celebrating it. well, i love a nice day out with my husband and family but i don't like the idea of getting old and such, haha.
i think birthday has changed over the years. the meaning of birthday has changed. this year, i feel particularly attached to my parents and want to spend the day with them, because i realised how short life is and they made me! they gave me the birthday!
i really ponder and wonder what lies ahead.
for now, i just want to pack up the house, esp with all the baby stuff all over the place, i have no idea how to pack.
argh!

efforts
i realised how much efforts it take to live healthier, look better, sleep better, manage household, complete work... and so on.
i really cannot understand how mothers can cope so well with everything else, like those pretty mothers who doll up and put on false eyelashes in the mornin to bring their kids to school? wow.
with more and more of my friends becoming married women, it will be interesting to see how everyone else copes. because running a household is no easy feat!

The big "O"
i am getting lucky. i mean i got a big fat positive on my ovulation test strip today.
finally i am working hard to track the big "O" instead of blindly chasing for the egg. I mean, i have the strips all these while but decided to leave it to nature the past 2 months but heck it, i would love a little more control.

household day
I'm feeling really good because i cleaned the house till so very clean today - tired.
plus i actually had a good day with my mom yesterday, that's rare cos we often have disagreement but now that i am thinking of becoming a mother myself, i find myself more ready to understand my mother. hmm.
the dogs are pretty obedient today too. hope they will keep it up!

baby blues
i guess it's kinda true that the ppl who don't want to have a baby have one while those who wants, wait long long.
haha.
i actually am thankful that we have all these time to prepare the house, the food, getting used to the idea of having a baby instead of having a big surprise which will prob stress us out.
i am pondering to start some TCM for the baby making business soon but i wonder if it's worth the $$.
i know things can't be rushed. but we really hope for a positive pregnancy test kit!
:p

moneysense
recently i got into thinking of wealth.
i believe thinking of becoming a parent led me to this thought - i'm thinking of how to provide quality care for my child, offering time and also money.
i'm not particularly wealthy but i've definitely been blessed with a sweet life in this sense.
at least, i have never been poor, nowhere near it. Thank God for that, though it's something so worldly.
however, i have never really saved either!
seriously. it's a good thing i came to this point of realisation while i'm still young - still have some hope then.
been reading into wealth management and it seems like all millionaires started out being frugal. that's one first step to getting richer. save.
so i have rethink a lot of things that i wanted to buy and spend lots of money on and realised that i really do not need a lot of them.
in fact, i have so many unwanted clutter bought with my own money which is equal to throwing money down the drain!
at least, i realised now!
although a little extreme, i found this article quite interesting - here

of food and cooking
one of my goal of staying at home is to make sure that my husband and me and the dogs and in future, the baby will get good nutritious homecooked meals.
learning how to cook is one of the thing in progress and i must say i have gotten quite far. there are days where the husband would say the food was grade A!
learning how to do away with processed food was a big challenge too and i am constantly thinking of how to keep food fresh for long etc.
in the past, i used to think being able to eat out was great but no!! actually sg food, esp hawker fare are just so unhealthy and the methods of cooking just took away a lot of the nutrients.
so suddenly i love cooking :) and the internet for all the great recipes

great show makes me think
go watch "Little Children"
it's an adult movie but great great show. feature kate winslet and patrick wilson.
i dun even remember the sex very well but the plot behind it and the smart lines makes me want to watch it again.
maybe i can relate, somehow?

TGIF
I was enjoying a good meal in ikea this afternoon and i noticed there were tonnes of pple in ikea today. on a weekday afternoon. and the cafe was so packed i had difficulty finding a seat!
did a lot of pple took leave on the same day or wat?
I thought being able to work free hours means enjoying weekday lunch without the crowds?
haha.
well well, recently i have been working very hard to get my diet into place - not for weight loss but for nutrients. i have realised how poor nutrients are in sg food like mee pok, hokkien mee, etc. and eating out everyday has been so sinful on our health!
i know i need to tune dyl's diet too but i shall start with mine consistently first.
I am trying to master simple time-saving recipes like throwing everything into the slow cooker etc. in the past i always take one hour to prepare dinner and one hour to wash up!!!!!!
and i am really careful about what i eat, also for the baby making thingy.
now, i make sure i have a good antioxidant smoothie everyday with either mango, strawberries or banana with no-sugar soya milk.
you should try too, i got the $29 philips blender at a sale and loved it! courts still have the sale, go get one!
as for bentos, although i bought a whole lot of fancy stuff for bento from japan, i havent used them yet!

blessed
i am so blessed.
while having mac breakfast in mac this morning, at a leisure time and pace, i remembered being stressed and rushing for time the past month. i was away for a while going back to 9-5 office work for less than a month (short contract work to refresh my memory of life outside of photography and household chores) and i am glad it's over.
I do not like working in a corporate world at all.
I am glad to come back to albums and weird hours and sleeping-till-i-am-happy and being free when everyone's at work and being busy when others are free.
I am happy to even mop the floor!
of course i still miss being out of SG being so carefree but responsible life goes on, i gotta come back to care for the doggies and the hubby.
