Blessed birthday

Today, 15th of Dec is a very special day because it's a birthday of someone who is very important & dear to me.

And this write up is dedicated to that person .... as a token of lil' birthday wish

Hello important person ...

I'm sorry that i cannot be there to celebrate this wonderful day with you. In fact this is my 2nd time missing your birthday. Last year i had one of your friends to buy you a cake as a surprise but your friend surprised me by not buying the cake last minute due to urgent meeting ... and this year i'm still stuck in foreign land :)

I really wish to be there to sing you a birthday song with my lousy hoarse voice, helping you to blow the candles & having my saliva all over the cake  & above all else to see your bright smile on this great day.

You are a blessing in my life even though at times you are the reason of my heartache and headache and yeah .. stomachache as well :) You never failed to put a smile on my face whenever i was down, you were always there to listen and care ... thank you for standing alongside to cheer me on when everyone else were not.

Hereby on this great day, allow me to wish & pray that you'll :

1) Always be successful in everything you do and wish to do
2) Always happy till the end ... your days be filled with laughter and happy tears
3) Always healthy and free from sickness
4) Always be surrounded by good people that will encourage and love you

It is stated in the Bible that you are wonderfully and fearfully made by God and it's true. You are very special & unique :)

Blessed birthday to you and wish to celebrate many more birthdays with you in near future !

I'm coming home

Yes, am coming home in few days time ... it's been more than a quarter since i went home.

What is home? Home is where your heart will find peace, home is where you get to be yourselves, home is where everyone and everything are there for you, home is where you find the real meaning to go back.

My home has been very different since last year ... ever since i relocated and ever since mom & nephew moved to Singapore. Now home is rather empty and quiet. Will home be ever the same again?

I truly long for the day where everyone in the family will be able to stay together again. We are very international family where everyone is everywhere and it hurts at times -- trust me .. totally no fun at all.

But no matter how empty and quiet my home might be, i'm still will be home coz there's where my heart is.

Yeah ... am coming home .... and i can't wait :)

Counting my blessing

I'm constantly being reminded by my inner voice to count my blessing ....

And i actually did yesterday when i reflected upon my life. I've gotten so immune to what i have until i've forgotten the moment when i never had them before.

Putting aside material things, i just want to look at health. And when i thought of my aging parents, i cannot thank God enough that both of them are still healthy & eating very well. At times dad can be a pain in my neck for all the things he did but at the end, i can only be thankful that dad is well & still independent. Every night before i sleep, i'm very thankful that my family and loved ones are well on that day ... every day indeed is a gift from the Lord.

Some people will never have enough because they are never content with what they have. They will strive in the name to be better which is not wrong but if it's taken a toll on your lifestyle and affecting the people that you love, then i guess it's time to sit down and count your blessing.

I'm sincerely very thankful that i'm well and kicking. I dread to imagine to be sick on the bed and waiting the moment to die. And worst, having long intense pain before death. All i want is just a normal life with a healthy body and surrounded with people that i love ... and this is what i'm having now therefore i'm THANKFUL !

When was the last time you felt grateful?

Oh dear me ... night shifts

Aiyooo ... night shifts are getting tougher to endure as i grow older .... at certain hours my brain will just stop functioning & i'll feel nausea not because am pregnant but i NEED to sleep.

When i was ahemnn younger, night shifts were nothing but now ... it's CRAZY.

Working night shifts in VN is tougher coz it's 1 month long versus the typical ones 2 weeks only. Oh dear ... i need my bed ... my bed.

Now, there's dark circle around my eyes and i look darn sexy ... like below :)

Good morning peps !! And how lucky u are to be on bed while am working my butt off ... eeyooooo
