2019 Week 30 Update

Another week and the end of another month!

Life plods along and life is at status quo. There’s really nothing much to post here.

Over the weekend, both GG and I came down with a bad cold and cough and this meant that I was not in a mood to complete my tasks for the weekend which means it has been postponed to this week.

This week also ends with a long weekend, book-ended by two public holidays for Singapore’s National Day and the Hari Raya Haji festival. But for us, this weekend is going to be all about studies since the O level exams will be around 70 days then.

Prelim season is also upon us and my nagging mode is on full volume.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2019 Week 29 Update

Another usual week for me. I was slightly productive, but not as much as I would have liked it to be.

I do have pending tasks from last week which I am going to hunker down and finish it otherwise I will continously be behind!

I also accompanied GG to one of her interviews this week and spent the time waiting for her in catching up on the shows I had missed. I also had to accompany her to the hospital to review what we thought was a hairline fracture on her wrist. The review was a success because the senior doctors ruled out the fracture and said it was just a sprain and the line the initial doctor looking at her said was a hairline fracture was her bones still growing.

I am now researching for our India trip at the end of the year. We will be visiting a major metro in the south to visit my maternal grandmother as well as to visit S’ clan temple plus other temples in the vicninity. GG, BB & me are history buffs and some of the temple architecture is simply amazing which we are looking forward to seeing.

That’s all for this week. We’re almost at the end of July also which makes our O level exams looming frighteningly and that’s the big stress in the household which will only end in mid-November!

Have a fantastic week folks!

2019 Week 28 Update

This was quite an eventful week as I updated yesterday.

After a night spent at the hospital, the next day we went to an awards function where S got a excellence award. He was the only person from his organisation to win it this year and it was a proud moment when he was featured as one of the big winners of the evening.

Next week seems to be another hectic week, what with taking GG to an interview and also for her review with an orthopedic doctor. I also have an event with the organisation I work part-time plus I have my to-do list to work on!

That was all last week, let’s hope this week is kind to me. Have a wonderful week people!

Poem: The Flame

I usually like have scented candles next to me when I am working. The other day, I was daydreaming and suddenly my eyes were arrested by the flickering flame. Inspiration struck and this poem is the result of that.

The Flame

I stare at the flame, fluttering and flickering

The little glow of light that is so mesmerising

I could stare at it for hours and forget the world

Meditate on it, think about the possibilities my mind is aswirled

I watch it flicker as a gust of wind washes by it

But the little flame is not to be deterred, it does not want to quit

It almost dies out, but wait, there’s still life in it

It comes back to life, full and flaming, it has a lot of grit

I see our lives as a parallel to this flame

With troubles gusting over us as the wind does to the flame

But quitting is not an option, because life is not a game

As the flame comes back to life time after time,

So should you overcome your troubles and start your climb

Life is like that flame, it flickers and looks like it may get snuffed out

But overcome obstacles, get up and don’t get knocked out.

2019 Week 27 Update

There’s literally nothing I did this week, that I can write here. Somehow the week just flew by and I am here another new week to get productive!

I went for my eye review and the good news is that my infection has completely cleared up, so that’s a huge relief. I have to go for another review in about three months for my dry eye syndrome which is a routine check-up. I do have to do a few tests that I have to do that day, so it’s going to be a long day that day.

Later in the week, I have to accompany S to an awards ceremony where he is getting an award. I am stoked to be going there and super proud of him since he is the only person from his organisation getting the award that day.

I still have many items from my To-Do list from last week which means my list this week is a mile long! Add to the chaperone duties I have, my week is packed. Wish me luck as I clear it all up.

Have a wonderful week!
