Life is a blur....

6 months have passed since I updated my blog.

Lemme see....hmmm...how my life has evolved since I started this blog.

I started the blog in Jan 2006.

3 years and 5 months later, I got married to a wonderful man, moved house twice, bought a car and gave birth to 3 adorable daughters.

I thought life would be less hectic and active and I would have lesser to worry as I grow older,

but I was wrong...it seems to get more packed and I got more things to worry in my mind now.

It's tough to find time for me and mr Fat, not to mention a little 'me' time for myself.

I guess this is another phase of my life.

As a mother of three, a wife to an equally frazzled man, a daughter to two sets of parents, life can be so hectic that everything and everyday seems like a blur and simple pleasures such as savouring a bowl of piping hot laksa slowly can make me so happy..

I sometimes shout in silence, tell myself in my mind;

Eileen, you can do it! Jiayou!

Or look at photos of my babies for motivation and....

tell myself,

It's all worth it!

Busy Nov

Nov is a busy month for me at work...every weekend is packed with events...

My desk is very cluttered and I need to spend at least 2 days tidying up my filing...maybe I will do that in dec...sigh....

Nov is also a busy month for me for my personal events....I m moving house this month!!! On top of all these, I m worrying about my twins...they are so much smaller than yy at 21 weeks..one of them even had measurement that falls out of the normal range!

So worried :(

Had to tell myself to take it easy...

All my troubles momentarily went away whenever I see her....

Home reno jitters

Renovation is a hassle...

Anything and everything can go wrong.

To think that we spent a bomb on purchasing the flat and another bomb on the reno...

I feel like pulling my hair whenever things dun turn out as what is seen from the 3D drawings.


Hair tugging moments

I was so worried about our aircon trunking...seeing some really bad ones done up in some homes...

Alas, ours turned out quite concealed and 'invisible'...relieved...

We had issues with the plaster walls, some were not as useable and pretty-looking as in the drawings..we had them rectified in the nick of time...

The kitchen sink concrete stand and the washing machines concrete base had us up in arms too. We protest and got their measurements changed.

Painting was not done entirely according to our instructions; but heck, maybe the contractor knows best...who knows?

Lights and fan are up but we were not a bit wee surprised that something will have to go wrong...the fan regulator is not in line with the light switches.


Hair pulling moment of the whole reno process

Carpentry works start.

Every single carpentry item = Needs some form of rectification

From the wardrobe to the kitchen cabinet to the shoe cabinet to the TV console....they look so wrong...

I shudder in fear to see how the most expensive item in our reno contract turns out eventually...mr Fat says he got it all sorted out with the contractor...I hope he's right...


Minor works not done yet : fixing of accessories, curtains, installation of water and gas...

We will see how lor...see how...
