More or less settled down in our new place... still a lot of unpacking and tidy up but it just feels so different to finally have a place that is completely the two of us.
AND most important, my own FIRST kitchen..had started cooking and received thumbs up from hubs and family. Check out my Cooking blog.
I knocked off work early and went back to the much familiar place that I had worked for the past 10 years. I felt so full of nostalgic for every single path, shop, things I saw and touched. The familiar coffee joints, the dress shops, the usual banks, the rush-hour train, the christmas lightings, even WASTON. Yup yup!! I am a regular patron with WASTON and STARBUCKS back then.
The yearning was so strong. I really miss my old place... I miss the racing citybeat, the rush hour, the knocking high-heels, the corporate dress-up, the smell of "money", I miss the speed, the rational... YES!! It's not a typo. I miss the rational of doing things and dealing with people where everything needs to be rational, needs justification, and rather logical (at least from the place I came from)...

It's not his language of love but the fact that he is willing to take that extra step to do something that he doesn't really like doing just for me, meant much.
Thank you so much, Moocow.

A simple movie but it brought out the simple and yet so ordinary things in one's life. Life is full of surprises and we never know what will happened. Man is always so deceitful. We thought we know all, we thought we have everything in control but we can never control it and things that happened will just throw us out of dynamics.
Someone describes life as water, liquid and yet flexible to take all forms and shapes. To live in such dynamism, we must be like water, flexible and adaptive and conforming. Jia-chien felt that her eldest sister, Jia-zhen will never get married and will be the one who stayed behind to take care of their dad while Jia-ning is too young and schooling. She made her own plans but end up everything was not what she had intended and planned.
As human we spent so much pondering and thinking but what's the final outcome when it's so dynamic and liquid. I never expected to get myself married and yet I did. I thought I could never leave my previous workplace and profession and yet I left. I supposed that's life. It like a box of chocolate, you never know what you will get.

Has been sick and in bed for the past 3 days. Today slightly better and less drowsy from medication so I managed to catch the morning Martha Stewart before the medication kicked in and I head for bed and now I woke up and start to type again.
The progam is break into different segments from baking, cooking, fashion, crafts, diy projects etc. It was such a pleasure to watch it while I have this dream / aspiration in my little head to attempt little adventure once we have our little place where I can be creative and diy our home decors, come up with cooking / baking recipes, have my little craft place. Reading my book at the balcony with a hot cup of coffee at the side. Many little ideas popping into my head.
The "what if" started popping in my head.... can't do much if I have to work, but I can't afford to go without job. We got a house loan to finance. Can't do much if I am staying with my mil and sil cause it might not be "suitable" for them. Can i stand the critical comments especially from family members and hubby if our taste differs?
Dun want to think of the feasibility of the dream at this moment but please just allow me to dream and to dream..
