Did a couple of simple things that made them smile and I feel good:
1. Sent out recognition to my colleagues and they returned with thanks and smile on their face.
2. Gave my maid an hour break, seeing her dancing when she heard it.
3. Baked and sent down a specially made cup cake for SIL.. She was so surprise and happy.
4. After all the good feedback in the cupcakes, I'm doing night baking for the children in church Sunday class. :)
These made this realized that to bring joy to a person doesn't cause much. Just a simple gesture and they rejoice. Thank God for the wisdom for me to do these. Lord, more to come please.

Drama Princess
Today, don't know what's wrong with me.. Comes to me that I need to change my teaching method on Janelle. From love education to fierce education.
I started on stopping her putting her fingers into her mouth. I will raise my voice and give her a very firm NO. After 2 hrs of NO, now when she put her fingers into her mouth, she will cry first before i xsay NO. OMG. Hopefully I can stay firm alittle longer and she will forget and never need to put her fingers into her mouth.
I'm a unless mom don't know how to teach her. I have to try many methods to see which works for her.

Running
People who knows me will know that I'm not an exercise person. During Secondary School time, I'm the one who will comes up with all excuses to skip PE and had never pass 2.4 km run before.
Now i'm trying to pick up running and cycling. Cycling is because of Janelle cos she loves to be on the bike enjoying the breeze. hmmm... and running, is because of my health. Yes, did my annual health check and found out that i'm having high cholesterol. No idea why, maybe runs in my family blood. Doctor recommend me to pick up exercise and watch up my diet.
So, here I go....
Started last week... I woke up at 645am, and starting my run at 7am.
Monday I did my 1st run - 1km run and walk.
Tuesday - rest cos my whole body aches here and there.
Wednesday i did my 2nd run - 1km run and walk + climbing up 11 stories... it was so good, i can feel the sweat running like a water tap.. nice. Thur and Fri - rest
Saturday i did my 3rd run - 1km run and walk with a faster speed + climbing up 11 stories. by the time i reach home, i panting like nobody business and started to feel dizzy then black out and i'm on the floor.
Went to do a research and talked to ppl who likes running, and guess i pushed myself alittle too hard.
Found a planner for beginner runner online http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/become-a-runner, and i will try this out from next run onwards. Taking baby steps at a time.
Havent start to have 4th run yet cos of work. Had been rushing to office this week for workshop + i didnt rest well at night. But i will try to continue to pick up running. Healthy lifestyle :)
PPST>> Punggol indeed is a good place for running.. I enjoyed it very much, especially wintness the morning sun that shine through the place. But one thing i hate most is the DOGS. oh my god. wild dogs are every where... and dont know how many detour i had made to avoid them.

Grandmas
The love from grandmas are greater than a mother can gave. They not only need to bring up their children but also their children's children. Looking at my mom, she had to sacrifice her tai-tai lifestyle aka yum cha, shopping, visiting salon at anytime she wants, to look after the grandchildren. But sad to says, my mom only take care of brothers' children.. she refused and rejected mine cos she says my mother in law still around.
My neighbours and colleagues who mother and mother-in-law travelling down to their house every morning and stay over the daytime and take care of their children till my neighbours returned from work. That kind of family support is great isnt it? at the very least, mommy can get out and do what they wants to do to have sanity mindset with a peace of mind that their children are in good hand who loves their children as they do.
In our time, how many of us are brought up by our grandma and they are doing very well. definitely not me, as my mom is a stay at home mom since the birth of my brother... I salute to full time mom... my girl can drive me to nuts at a lot of times. :X
so, this is to act as a reminded to me that i need to appreciate my mom and mom in law better although they didnt take care of janelle for me, but when i need help.. they will always be the one who supported me through.
