Project 2017

I had decided in the middle of 2016, unilaterally at first then sought consensus after with my lifelong partner, that the big project of 2017 was to add one person to our family.

This prompted our move to the current apartment which has an additional bedroom and a larger balcony area and plenty of running-around space downstairs.

For years I had resisted the thought, reasons aplenty... we were not ready to give up our freedom, we were too selfish and immature, we have no patience, we have no space, etc etc etc.  For years we'd successfully defended our decision deflecting all the nosy questions about why we were taking so long, why not try to have our own kids, blah blah blah.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, i changed my mind last year.

I am lucky that my close pals started having kids late.  For years we were carefree together, we couldn't care less. I am eternally grateful for that.

Children didn't mean much to me.  I'm not naturally maternal, it is not in my DNA.  Kids bawl at the sight of this Auntie. I just wish they would stop crying and start communicating like adults.

For some reason, I changed my mind. Perhaps it was God, maybe it was the adorable kids that I've seen recently, I can't say for sure. Anyway, I had changed my mind and brought forward project 2021 to 2017.

To prepare for said project, we started the paperwork promptly on Jan 1, 2017 and managed to get it through the authorities by early March.  From then on, it's just a waiting game.

So far, we have seen a couple of pictures and visited one kiddo in person.  We are still praying for the right one. Please pray with us as we eagerly await news of our new family member.

Baby Eva [yes! we have a name!], we hope to see you real soon.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
