DOWN

feeling rather down lately. seeing things in a very negative way. trying not to for the longest time to think the worse of people. but sadly, they dun realise that enough is enough. the degree of "siam", "bo chap", "not zi dong", "rub in extra salt & pepper" and "take & dun give" attitude has reached my limits. its hurting to me as i had promised an important person in my life that i will keep it going. but with today's situation as a mum, a baby in hand has made it more difficult. Time & money is an issue but why has no one else take over? no more younger and much more in a better situation than i am... not that i am very great, just that i try to make it happen. i respect people who are giving. the next thing to learn is not to expect people to be giving. i am still very lucky to be surrounded with people who shower me with care and concern. people who are willing to sarciface their time to help me out, to give me support, to show their concerns. i need to learn to move forward in a positive way. to help others, to pay back in a way i can, to lend support whenever someone needs a helping hand. hope my moods will move UP thou i will be facing alot more in the next few days. traumatic changes but i need to stay strong. need to get the germs out of my system so that i can enjoy the party this Sunday!

we love balloons!

Sunday 23rd May 2010. after the party, i went around the party hall to release tight knots after the party ended and gathered the colourful balloons with bil and uncle j's help. with bil's help, we took some shots with our HUGE balloons! i loved the colours and couldnt give it a miss and i was glad we did some shots!


pretty colours contrasting our Grey family outfits!


couldnt see from the pics that i was holding on to lots of balloons as the length of the strings were all the same. unlike in the shoot taken on my bdae, there was a difference in the ribbon length. i like both shoot, same balloons but different shape, different colour theme, different feel! if i choose i still like the one taken at botanic gardens better cos i feel more during that shoot! it had more special thoughts put into it!

 

 daddy and i had no intention to bring the balloons back.... we wanted to let go all the balloons!


we let off a bunch at a time, we werent sure how baby r would react. just in case she gets all upset about the balloons flying away, we still had many in our hands! she was alright when daddy let go the 1st batch of balloons, daddy guide her and she looked at the balloons flew up into the blue sky! we let her touch the 2nd batch of balloons and got her ready for the take off. this time, she was so cute! after daddy count down and let go of the balloons, she lean her head back on daddy's shoulder and watch the balloons fly away!


we kept a bunch of balloons and we were deciding whether to stuff it into the car... daddy told me i didnt let go any... so i made a little wish and i let it fly up into the clear blue sky.... i hope that everyday would be clear blue sky for our little family! looking at the balloons, i feel somewhat light... not physically! feel really calm looking at the sky.

 

favourite photo of the day
baby r was still looking back as we walked away after the balloons fly really high in the sky

bag organiser from a nice lady

yes very busy at the moment preparing for baby r's bdae party and for some changes ahead.... both physically+mentally drained right now. so as i am waitng for my slow com to process my video, i wanted to share one of my find that i got early this month of May. a Mothers' Day gift i got myself. also i told the nice lady who sold it to me that i would blog on it cos i LOVE it!


i made one confirmed order and she was so nice to pop by to my house as she was making special mothers day delivery near my place. she brought a few samples for me to look at as i had express my interest in the rest of the bag organiser she had. i was presented with a brown bag with a ribbon and i loved the purple prints on the bag! i m a sucker for such details! the bag i ordered was nicely wrapped up in a flower-printed tissue-paper. so glad i ordered myself a mothers day gift from her as this was perfect! i feel so warmed up with the whole package!



when i saw this bag, i knew i had to get it, not for myself but for joyce! i was still pondering what to get for her bdae! thou its a bag organiser, i tot this would make a great diaper bag for her new-born in July! all the creams the baby need can be in the little pockets! yet to give it to her and i think she will like this! i like it and haha wanted it for myself but its the last piece!


this is the piece i ordered and i love the colour! i didnt order this for my bag.... i wanted this to be by my bedside as my mess-organiser! i have things all over the place and i wanted this to help clear the clutter and help me get my things neat in order! my wish is that it came in a bigger size! cos i could only keep 5 of my favourite books and my 8 days near me. i had my little organiser and headbands in the 2 big compartments. oilments, pen, hair accessories and my portable lamp in the side smaller compartments, for the back of the bag, i have the vouchers envelope, my creams, comb hidden in the various compartments. there's even a hook for HP!  


i didnt stop at 2.... i got one more irresistable buy.... limited edition! its a reversible bag organiser! what made me buy this is the pokka dots! i love pokka dots and so do baby R! this material is alittle different and i find it more sturdy. i wanted this as a lunch bag to pack baby R's food!




wet tissue pouch, milk powder, ready fruit cereal, dried apples, teething biscuits, apple + blueberry rice crisps, water bottle, milk bottle, clothe, spoon, everything neatly tugged in each compartment and easy to access unlike before where i have all the food items in a ziplock! i find it pretty cool to have these bag organiser!

 

here's the nice lady's blog where you can order pretty bag organisers!
