永远思念您


时间过得太匆匆,您离去已经整整一年了。去年这天所发生的一切,依然历历在目。每当想起您、看到您留下的物件或您的照片时,心里还是一阵酸痛,眼眶还是不自主地泛起泪珠。时间并没有冲淡对您的思念,也没有减少失去您的痛楚。

从小就很渴望您多一点关怀,希望您能多和我说说话,可是您却是如此严肃、不苟言笑。但我知道,您是爱我们的。陪您去看中国电影纪录片,什么《中国十大奇观》之类的影片,我知道您是多么想念家乡、想念爷爷奶奶。在我写给爷爷的信中我提过,长大后我要陪您回去和他们团聚。可惜,他们都每能等到我长大。

叛逆期把我们之间的距离拉得更远了。到了结婚成家后,变成我没时间去了解您的状况。待我闲下来的时候,您已是白发苍苍。

六年前的秋天,您到北京探望我们,我是多么的开心,您知道吗?陪您攀长城、逛故宫、游天安门,仿佛圆了我儿时的愿望,从新认识您、接近您。随您回莆田老家,见到您和叔叔、堂叔们的交流,那份喜悦,让我意识到您对他们的感情有多深。

冥冥中一切似乎已经注定;我们提前回新,买了房子后又把您两老接过来住。我感谢苍天赐给我这个机会,让我陪您走完人生最后的数年。感谢上天给我这个不孝女有机会作出补偿,尽我应尽的孝道。我是幸运的,我是有福的,因为在您人生最后的日子里,我都在您身边陪伴着。人家都说女儿多亲近妈妈,可我却偏偏相反,一颗心都是念您多过念妈妈。

您走了,我的心也脱了一截。身子好像一时间老了,对事与物也不怎么提得起劲了。也许时间长了,心里的痛楚会渐渐减少,可是感觉再也回不到从前那样了。
人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全,但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。。。。

您在夜空的那端,是否还好?知道我依然在思念着您吗?

Kids will always be kids

Hub's traveling again, and as usual, the kids all bunked-in in my room.

They were having so much fun ....laughing, joking, giggling, play-pretending, teasing each other away. It's moments like these that assured us that it was a right choice to room them together for as long as possible.

One moment it was like a riot in the room and the noise level was hitting the roof! the next moment, they're all sound asleep and the room is left with the sound of the aircon blowing.

Having been nagging my 14yo to please grow up and behave better and be more matured. But he's really the 'leader' to his 2 brothers, esp when it comes to play! Still remember when he went on a 10-day trip with his school 2years ago, it became so quiet at home and the other 2 seemed so lost. Without this live wire, they're just not the same at all. So I guess I'll just to have let him be, and let him continue to be the leader to his brothers.

taobao, my new love!

My first purchase from taobao.com! A pair of cool-looking leather shoes for Matt. Nice right? And their service is really good. I ordered on Thu morning, they called me in the afternoon to confirm order, and on Sat morning it was delivered to my apartment! speedy isnt it? And the best part is, I only pay after receiving and inspecting the goods. cool!

I'm so in love with taobao now. that'll also means my pocket's gonna burn a hole soon!! hee... ;P

Finally back on blogger

The sad thing about living in China is the restrictions on internet. As many would already know, Blogger and Facebook are blocked, and many other overseas sites too. Finally, thru friends' recommendation, we subscribed to VPN, manuevre around the installation and connections, and voila! We're back on.

will gradually add on more updates on our new life in Shanghai!

Goodbye Singapore!

one photo with our helper before we head off to the airport.

Goodbye Singapore! we'll be back, but dunno when. You'll still be our motherland, our roots. Just for now, home will be in Shanghai.

Everything's packed


Everything's been packed up and out of the house already. These pictures were taken last night and now, the living and dining is 95% empty. We've had to eat our dinner on a mahjong table with plastic chairs. hee...
Suddenly feel a sense of emptiness. Has been so busy tying up lose ends over the last few weeks, haven't really had time to think about the move. Now that things are moving faster, reality is setting in. But am I ready for the move? Feeling quite lost actually.

You wouldn't believe this!

My watch fell to the floor, and its crystal face chipped and cracked all directions!?

I've had this watch since early 1999 and have dropped it (ya ya, butter fingers) umpteen times. Never had it had any scratches on its crystal face before. And this evening before I left for a dinner appointment, it just slipped off my hands, landed on the marble floor and gosh! I got a shock when I picked it up. A tiny bit of chipped off the edge inwards and the broken pieces trapped inside the watch face. And the rest of the crystal face cracked in all directions! It must hv landed at the edge of the face and hit some chipped, sharp corner on the marble. For a moment my heart cracked just like the crystal face! I want to cry!!!
