I just got home from a movie date with my sisters at Downtown East. I reached there at about 9:30PM, bought the tickets then had dinner at Just Acia. We booked the 11:45PM showing of Dear John, which meant that we had more than two hours to eat and chit chat. The free flow of coffee did its job to keep me awake for the late show.

Being a mother is indescribably wonderful. But it is also tough. Seriously. I couldn't even begin to say how sad I feel when Ice ignores me when I get home from work. It is petty I know. Or the time when he sadly told me that one of his classmates said that he's a dirty fellow because he's very messy when he eats. I lay awake worrying that he might not be accepted by his peers.

At four, Ice is more articulate than a lot of people I know. His grammar and sentence construction are commendable. He thinks and reacts very fast... Yah, whatever, I'm the mother so I can say anything good about my kid, haha!
But really, it seems like I'll never run out of these...

Except for the fact that it costs me around $30 to get home on a cab from a night out in the city, I think living in Pasir Ris is kinda cool. It is near Tampines where our offices are (Ronald's and mine). But unlike Tampines, which is too crowded, Pasir Ris is a rather serene place. What really makes it cool though is that family-oriented sites are very accessible.

I can still remember my first job interview. I was fresh out of college and was way too eager to earn a living. He was the department head, the company's Vice President for Collections and Remedial Management. He had a nice smile but had a very hoarse and raspy voice. I later found out that he had a throat infection that has affected his vocal chords.

How do you not give up when things don't work out?
How do you go on and keep the fire burning?
Keep the love alive..
Keep the love growing..
Love.. It's why you're there in the first place.

Being ready to loose.
To be wrong.
To forgive and forget.
It's all about infinite second chances.
Only if you are willing.

-When Ice came home from school:




Mommy : Ice, did you finish your food at school? (He refuses to eat what they serve at school so he brought some oreos)


Ice : Yes. My classmate want some.

Mommy: So did you share?

Ice : No.

Mommy : Why not?

Ice : Teacher said eat first then share.

Mommy : Oh, ok..



-Following day:



Mommy : Ice, did you finish your food at school?

Ice : Yes.
