Home cooked Lunch for hubby.

Yesterday, hubby felt very uncomfortable in his throat. After work, I brought him to see Dr. Margaret. Both of us love Dr. Margaret very much. She is a real caring doctor. Normally she will spend her time explaining our discomfort when we visit her at her clinic, just like a mum showering care and love towards her children. She always gives details of our discomfort, whenever we visit her. Margaret told hubby that he suffered quite a bad tonsillitis. It was affecting his throat very much, and he needed to have a day rest. Hubby reluctantly took MC today, as he supposed to attend a 3 days training which started yesterday. Margaret told hubby to take only watermelon or star fruits. We went to NTUC fairprice yesterday night after our dinner, we were able to get only watermelon.

I decided to prepare hubby some healthy home-cooked lunch, so that he will be able to eat and rest at home.

Spring ....in Singapore?

I always yearn to experience spring. I have not visited this particular season. I did not know what to expect. I hope, one of these days....in my very near future, I will be able to be in this season to visit the breeze, the air, the trees that fashioned their most beautiful "outfit" of the year...

This morning, I was browsing some images in my handphone folder, and I found 1 picture that I took 2 weeks ago. On 12th Mar 09, at around 1.33pm, I drove past one of the street at Tuas (Singapore), and I saw this particular tree that blossomed with pink flowers. There was as if no leaves on that tree, but only flowers on them...it looked so beautiful. I then further discover that along the street of Tuas Avenue 1, there was 1 stretch of trees which has all the flowers on them, some of the trees were with white flowers. They all blossomed alternately between pink and white, and when the wind blew, I saw all the little pink and white flowers dancing to the ground. The scenery at that time was painted like winter too. The flowers were as if snow, falling from the sky. I was a little devasted at that point of time, I did not bring along my camera to take more pics. I had only managed to take the pink one using my camera phone which has a lower resolution.

This morning, I drove past this street again, and the flowers were all fallen off the tree. It marked the new beginning of the tree. It was only 2 weeks. At times, our good times, beautiful moments, or even our joyous moments was just too short. The tree took so many months to blossom into such a beautiful tree. But it only lasted less than a month. At times, a tree also speaks of a person's life. We do have roots, just like trees, in the ground. What we absorb everyday will be transformed to be who we are. During the observation of that stretch of trees which blossomed with little white and pink flowers, I did noticed that there were some trees that was filled with only small portion of flowers, and some part are dried up. I believe it was what the trees fed on, the foundation, and the nutrients that the tree absorb. Same as our life, what we exposed ourselves to, what we listen, whatever we visualised ourselves to be, what we have opened up ourselves towards, will form our philosophy, our beliefs, the way we looked into our own life and the life of others, our way we handled relationship with people.... We are what We "feed" on.....(*Thoughts*...)....

Where to start...

Decided to start blogging...had created a blog address long time ago...can't remember wat was the address...and I believe it was 2 years ago...when I was having this herd mentality...following what others were doing...it was quite an "In" thing to blog that time, even before 2007.....Am I too late to blog? : )

Wonder how to start...I was going through the purpose of me blogging..I believe every single one of us has a place in our soul that would like to express our character and hidden identity...I believe ....same goes for me...I had watched some characters in some movies and drama, blogging their deepest secrets and emotion...By doing that they are releasing their tension, and it seemed that, that was the only way out.

Well, after 2 para (s)...it seems like I'm still out of my topic...I would say that my purpose of me blogging is to keep my beautiful memories. I am neither an expressive person, nor creative blogger..even writing this piece of blog (first blog) I did not know how to start...can I write what I like here? Will I over-exposed myself ?? I think, I should really consider all factors as I continue to blog my thoughts...

I would like to start afresh.....In every single detail of my life...my relationship, career, my walk with Him...life experiences..I cannot guranttee there it will be perfect or promised better start....but I would like to see some changes in my life...and from now...i would like to blog my commitments in my new blog....
