Dear God help my boy

I always knew that I got very dependent on wp.


The longer we got together, I depended on him as a Friend, a Husband, my right hand man and like just a better half of my brain!


So when now he is away on reservist (and out field for these few nights), and Don is feeling so unwell............ I feel so lost!


Poor boy has been coughing and having runny nose since 1st of jan and it’s now 30th!


The past 2 hrs, he’s been waking up suddenly because his nose is block or something... keeps pointing to his throat...

Refuses to drink water... I don’t dare to offer milk cos he keeps coughing..


N milk + cough = disaster!


😭 I want my hubs...... I want my healthy boy back.......


Oh God pls.... please let Don Don sleep through the night fine......... my heart can’t take it...


I’ve propped up the pillow.. I’ve put on the essential oil to help..... I don’t know what else I can do............  😭😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼


Dear God please let Don Don recover....

Day 5/20 of Hell Weeks

Day5/20

Weeee it’s the end of day 5, technically start of day 6 cos it’s way past midnight now...

My plan was to hit the sacks as soon as the boy closes his eyes.... but my hands found its way to the iPad and one thing led to another...

After soooo many months, I indulged in a movie in the comforts of my own bed! 🙃

Also because I was multitasking by shaking the hp to clock that 12,500 steps.... bleh~ story for another day..

Anyway tonight’s movie choice of Girls Trip was really by chance because I was looking to watch Pitch Perfect 3!

Haha what meant to be a musical comedy turned out to be more of an inspirational movie instead.

Definitely something I needed after 5 tough days...
Early week was the worst because of all the uncertainty of how to clear the outstanding fyp before the CPF closing date on weds...

Adding on to the crazy cough I’m having now... the type of cough that makes my head hurt and coughing to the point of wanting to puke at times... haixx 

But boy... it’s day 6 now.. the weekend...

Hubs have helped out a great deal even thgh he was on reservist... I think the real hell week is next wk.. when he has to stay-in camp from mom-weds.

Which really means I have to manage the boy all on my own! God help me please.....

Anyway the movie was a good boost of self-believe and knowing one’s own self worth.
 It’s very easy to loose focus these days when you feel pulled in all directions; playing the multiple roles we hold..

Mostly I’m don’s mother. I’m also the financial consultant to many dear friends and clients. I’m also the daughter to my mother. But most importantly, I’m also Wife to my husband.

So many roles with so many different expectations. Sometimes it just gets to me cos when I do better at 1 role, I may not do as well in another.

Like if I were to give in my all in terms of time and energy to Don, i may neglect my work. And of cos vice versa.........

The choices we make daily... the struggles... it’s so real.

Ok, abrupt end. Cos for now, I should choose to go to sleep. Early morning doctor’s visit coming up....

Hell Weeks have arrived

The hell weeks are here!!!! Been dreading this few weeks since December!!

What’s hell week? 

It’s when the hubs starts reservist for 2 weeks! Then shortly after he’s going to bkk for work and then it’s cny!

All that while trying to clear off the remaining 9k FYP for Berlin! And u know how God wants us to challenge ourselves right? I’m now SicK as well! 🤒 

Arghhh.... 

I actually have other content that I wanna post but time is limited and i just wanna relax awhile before I got to get off my ass to do more stuff.

So just to document, today is Day1... I managed to get the crying boy off his pillow by telling him that he gets to ride in this toy car they have at school. And that he can go to the bird park in it.

👩🏽: u get to sit your car and go to the bird park. We don’t have that kind of car at home. So that’s y u need to go to school. Ok?
👦🏻: bird park 😊
👩🏽: ya bird park... or do u want to drive to the zoo?
👦🏻: nooo... Bird. Park.
👩🏽: ok, let’s hurry.. u need to drive your friends to the bird park too..
👦🏻: happily obliged

Such pure innocence.. not looking forward to the time when he understands the shit that I’m bluffing him with! 😂
When that time comes, I hope my negotiation skills have improved tremendously! Hahah...

Just a random picture for memory sake....
