Its been awhile updating my blog. 

Well peeps, how's life going on?

Although Mother's day had over,

but thought of blogging something about my dearest mum. 

My mum is a housewife now. 

But I always admire the way she presented herself.
Confidence, in control and patience.

I remember when I was kid, 

She always bring me to her office.

Now, at that time, her office was my playground, because she works in a toy company.

Lots of toys and barbie dolls, plush, doll house, hot wheels, gundam, everything a kid likes. 

Later on, she works in a stationary company.

Colour markers, crayon, play dough, cool and unique pencils and pens, and many other stationeries...

Now, what I see is, people are coming into her office and telling her stories, well at that time,
Makes me wonder why all these people coming in and out, phones ringing and hanging...

And by the way, she looks scary and serious. I'm lucky I was never once her staff. (*peace hand sign*)

She always tell me, study hard and one day you will be like me, and one day, you will have your own office.

When she was at home, and when I fall sick,

She turns into a different person.

She's not the person I saw her in her office.

She is my mother. She looks after me.

Nagging at home. Help me with my homework.

Shopping with her at the wet market. 

I always want to learn from her, 

Her confidence, her ability juggling between work and home.

Her patience, she never bring home work stress,

Her attitude, the way she handle people,

Her social skills, never once I saw her point her fingers at a person and scream at them.

Well, now, she is housewife, 

because she decided to look after us and spend more time at home. 

So grateful that she spent her time and effort. Well, should say she like a chameleon,

You will always know she's there. 

Well, to me, everyday is mother's day to me. 

人生无常，无常人生。

小时候，每个小孩都是开心，无邪，无忧无虑。

纵然父母有什么忧愁，

也不会要他们的孩子忧愁，

只要他们看到孩子开心，他们就会满足。

有时候，我真的在想，

没父母的孩子，

是多么恐慌，因为我深深体会。

小时候，父母是保暖壶。

孩子会觉得父母的呵护，是必然。

当孩子长大时，父母是闹钟。

孩子觉得父母总是碎碎念，提醒与提点，是当然。

当孩子到了中年，父母是空气。

孩子开始懂得与体谅父母，也时时刻刻的惦记父母，这是当然。

当孩子慢慢的开始老了，父母是宝石。

开始觉得，父母的爱很珍贵，很舍不得父母，孝顺父母是必然。

父母的奉献是无私，今天的你，

有没有对你的父母嘘寒问暖？

Been busy since new year...
Well, lesson in life number 1,
nothing will last forever, and nothing will be the same once they are gone forever.
I know a lot of people know, appreciate what you have,
but, there are still a lot of people don't know.

Recently lost one of my auntie.
This auntie is one of the close auntie who see me grow up,
and always not afraid of my mum, always buy treats for me.
I did went back and visit her,
and I do know that she will be gone one day, because of her medical condition,
However, I wasn't shock, nor surprise, that she is gone now, forever.
And to those people out there thinks your parents is going to stay with you forever and hold your hands,
maybe you need to invent some kind of potion to preserve them.

Many people say, nurses are numb when it comes to death.
Well for me, I have families, and friends, plus looking at the industry I'm working,
its not easy for me to see someone pass away.
Although death in nursing home is a normal thing, for me,
it's hard for me to see my relatives, or elderlies in nursing pass...
Nurses are actually the worst ones when it comes to death.

Lesson in life number 2,
if you can't change the situation you are in now,
change your perception, your thoughts and also change your attitude.
and the most important thing is, never afraid to accept new changes.
There's too many storms and waves in life.
Sometimes might be smooth sailing, and luck is always beside you,
but they are not there always, nor forever.
I have gone through storms, and I can tell you,
it's never easy to sail in storms as you will get hurt and cut,
and it's a test to see if you survived, or sink deep.

I think I just survived one of the storm,
and there's another one coming.
Well let's hope I don't sink deep and survived this one.

今年是我在海外过的第五个新年。
缺少年味，年菜，红包，人情，
对我而言，哪像新年？
唯有自己播新年歌，不知不觉也跟着唱起来。
每年的新年，都在工作里度过。
也没什么特别。

新年期间，惜福和团圆格外贴切。
珍惜在家乡过的每一个新年，
珍惜每到年菜的味道，
珍惜到每家亲戚家拜年，
珍惜在吵吵闹闹的家里过新年。
能与家人团圆的机会，得来不易。

在海外过新年的每一位学子，游子们，
祝你们蛇年吉祥，心想事成，
吉祥如意。

3 little sausages which I will always make me laugh...

Misty, you are now in a better place, and you sent me your sister. 

Cuddles, whenever I look at you, it always reminds me of Misty,

which I know both of you can't be replace by each other.

Autumn, thank you for being with me for several years.

Autumn is still autumn... However, her friend  is not the same.
Top: Cuddles    Bottom: Misty, always miss...

At this time of the day, middle of the night,
Feeling hungry...
Though it gives me a thought, maybe I should upload some photos..
Photos of something I like doing apart from being a nurse, which is cooking...
Well, basically it is just something I enjoy, and still learning on the way..

Trial of Chocolate coated cherry  trifle, and  it was not  bad  ^^

Chocolate cherry cupcake, which one of my friend always ask me  for more...

Gateau Napolean, looks a bit rustic, but  there's always one of my friends favourite.

Chocolate Orange Meringue Cake, for one of the  gathering ...

Another year has passed.
Dragon year almost finished and The year of Snake is just around the corner.
And, always this time of the year, I will get super homesick as I miss the younger days,
That I celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with my family, go house to house visiting,
And of course collecting red packets, as a best wishes from our family, relatives and friends.

Well, having to celebrate Chinese New Year by my own,
I learnt how to make Chinese New Year dishes and little snacks and treats.
There's something called BBQ pork or as Chinese people say "long yuk"..
Well, I tried asking and seeking opinion from lots of people,
So I finally tried it today, and of course, nothing taste better like what I had for the pass 20 years.
Sometimes, makes me wonder, something can never be replace and something will always stay as our memory and it will be cherished as long as we live.
Playing Chinese New Year songs in my computer makes me thinking of the atmosphere in my country.

Well, what we always do, the day before CNY, have a family reunion dinner, and go for late night market to get all the things for CNY. And after that, the most exciting part, is to go over my grandparents house to stay for 5 days of CNY, and all my cousins will be there, and that is why CNY is one of my most looking forward festive.

All this thing makes me realize, if something broken, you can easily fix or buy a new one to replace.
But things like memory and the taste that you once had during childhood, will never be able to replace.
I like Chinese dumplings a lot. I remember one of my auntie is very good in making those,
And I will never forget how it taste. Although now I might not be able to taste it anymore,
I will always remember.

Well, looking forward to the Year of Snake..
Hopefully its a good year for me and to others too ^^
