Busy Bunny

Been meeting up with some girlfriends since I came back from my holiday.

~ Had coffee with Eunice at Starbucks last week- she's already into her 2nd trimester!
~ Met LGG over the weekend- she brought me to this hidden little cafe that she recently discovered where Japanese tai tais hang out.
~ Ching came over to my place since she was in the area- she's got both mine and LGG's holiday pics, all she needs to do is meet up with 222 and we'll have the entire set!
~ Didn't get to hang out with Yummy for as long as we had originally planned because the poor gal spent 1 1/2 hours getting lost on what ought to have been a 10 minute ride.
~ Spent a rainy Monday afternoon at TCC with Wenzzz- can't go wrong with an Azuki freeze.
~ Hung out with Peggy last night at No5- oh it's been such a long time since I've been there!

Also had lunch with my parents and aunt+uncle yesterday. We decided to go to that Japanese restaurant that my dad's friend opened. It was an ala carte buffet @ $33++ per person, and the food wasn't too bad. It's interesting talking to someone who has just opened a restaurant and hearing how much money, time and effort was invested into it.

Anyway for those who are interested, go check it out. It's well worth it.

Mama's Words Of Wisdom

"You're not the first, and you're definitely not going to be the last."

"The last thing you want to do is feel self-pity."

"Just treat this as a blessing in disguise."

I'm Stuck!

Gah. I have been working on this puzzle for days (ok, not continuously) and I can't seem to break through. Help!

Sometimes Everything Just Sucks

Excuse the ranting, but Everything. Sucks. Right. Now.

I've just realised that you can't depend on anyone to help you feel better, try as they might. It's limited what others can do. Meet for a coffee? A meal? Hang out with you for the afternoon? Chat with you online?

But at the end of the day, no one can really be there for you 24/7. Everyone has their lives to lead- birthday parties to attend, dates to go on, dinners to cook, chores/work to finish, other friends to hang out with who aren't miserable company.

It's impossible to expect anyone to think about you constantly, to worry and fuss over you all day long. (Yes, even mothers are human too.) And it makes you think, what's the point anyway?

Ultimately, you have no choice but to rely on yourself to hold it all together and not rip apart at the seams. You are the one who has to take care of yourself, and sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to do even the simplest tasks like making sure you eat or sleep.

It's not easy. And it sucks.

Happy Birthday!

Woohoo! It's my sister's birthday today and we'll be having the relatives over this evening for a small celebration. There's quite a yummy feast planned for tonight- the usual fare that appears at our dinner table during family gatherings.

I hear my aunt is going to cook this dish which I'm bummed that I won't be able to eat. I'm not too sure what it's called exactly, but it's fa cai cooked with pork. Man, I love that dish. Oh well, maybe she'll make a vegetarian version this year, although I highly doubt it. Sigh. Oh well, at least I have my mom's beef lasagna to look forward to *slurp*.

Anyway, to my dearest sis: Happy birthday!!! I hope that this coming year will be filled with joy and happiness and may all your wishes come true (we already know one has heehee). Thanks for the advice and support you've given me and for not locking me out of the house when I started to get annoying. Heehee.

I Feel Loved

When times are rough, it's always heartening to know that you have a bunch of people around you who care and worry about you.

Sometimes they notice the things you don't even realise- like how much you're (not) eating, and they get worried when you've not gone online in a while.

To everyone who has been there for me and is looking out for me, thanks so much.
