'never bring eye' walking

Something happened to me this morning. 
After dropping my little one off to kindergarten, I walked STRAIGHT into a wall pillar.
Things were happening too fast so much so that I didn't realized what happened at that particular moment.

All of a sudden, I feel my head and knee banged hard on something. I felt my head vibrate and my teeth shaking. It was so hard that I moved backward due to the impact.
And my initial reaction was not to look back at where the teachers are but just run straight towards dear's car. 
It was so so embarrassing. 
If the teacher saw, they would have thought : how la this mother look after her kid if herself so clumsy?? 

As soon as I got into the car, i broke out in LAUGHTER. 
Suddenly I WOKE UP. 

Ah dear say he couldn't understand how I can walk into a pillar. And that I couldn't even focus even when I'm walking.
Actually what he said was partially true also lah... cause I was actually smiling to an old lady (who I presume helping at the kindy) when I bang into that lucky pillar.

I ended up with a big 'hong mou lao' on my forehead plus scratched right knee and hands despite my best away to rub away the blue back and clean the knee and hands with the ubat kuning. (Lucky ah dear has a mini first aid box in his car).
And I had some great de-stressing laughing time when colleagues started asking me about the 'hong mou lao' on my forehead.

ps. will update the photo after transfer from phone...haha

49 days

I've just finished watching 49 days (the korean drama series)

and couldn't help but remember the 7*7 49 days after my mother left us. 

The circumstances were different but until today we (my family), we couldn't find any explanation for strange things that happened during 头7 and the remaining 35 days.

ps. On a lighter mood, I think Han Kang in the series is good looking...haha

de-clutter

Managed to de-clutter my home fridge and freezer and my office desk within 10 days into 2013 ... I feel liberated.

Didn't know that de-cluttering can help me feel good =)

So, more de-cluttering I've lined up for myself this year ... coincidentally a good time too before chinese new year.

perhaps since I'm gaining momentum, it's good time to start de-cluttering my life too ...

unwinding

for the past few days, my little one is learning to adapt to new people, new environment and new culture into his life. He started going to kindergarten.
there were tears and all but isn't that part of growing up?
Here, we took him & the little one to the playground for a relaxing unwinding moment (read : to let off steam)
In case you're wondering, we are building a bird nest for the made-believed homeless bird (luckily he buy the story ... thanks to mama who tell lies without blinking eyes...haha)

midnight book shopping

1st time experience midnight book shopping towards end of 2012 ...
thanks to a group of friends who asked me along for BBW (big bad wolf) '63-hour frenzy' where they open non-stop for 63 hour @ MIECC
It was a pleasant experience shopping for books at very low prices on a relaxing friday night ... the cool night air seem to make people feel at ease.
Thanks to Keef - for helping us hunt for our 'to-buy-list' when she was there earlier =)
Thanks to CY, FL, NDC for asking me along, helping me to control my spending and maximize my savings,for sacrificing sleep (especially for NDC who's to drive 6.30am the same morning)

my loots for sharing :)

neither here nor there

neither here nor there ... that's how I would describe my crawl over from 2012 to 2013.
A few years lately, I seemed to have hangover effect in my attempt to transit from a previous year to a newer year.
I seemed to be in a 'buffer' in between the adjacent years.
the transition this time is no difference.

I'm still too lazy to think about 2012 yet... 
but 2013 came knocking on my door ... asking me to face the brave new world regardless whether I'm willing or not.

there are 360 more days to go 
yet I felt as though I've run for 360 days non-stop.

well, enough of lamenting.
it's time to wake up ... come 2013 there shall be more opportunities, more room for improvement, more chances.

what a negative post to start of the year 
just let me rant for this last time before I leave my 'buffer' tougher.
