8 Months...... Feels a Lifetime
To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me
(Author Unknown)
When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, You can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it is time I travel alone.
So greive a while for if grieve you must,
then let your grief be, comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear,
All of my love around you, soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say,.......
"Welcome Home"

Sungei Buloh...... Me???
Well I say, it's been quite a while since I updated this rather neglected blogsite of mine. Haven't been doing much actually so nothing to write about. The chickadees and I have been alright with our usual up and down moments, good days, bad days.
For those of you wondering...... yes I did host the reunion dinner at home as Philip & I always did for mummy, Edward & Mischa. It was an emotional day for me as I kept thinking about how we would prepare the dinner together and how he'd have to remind me a 100 times to buy everything! However, by the end of the day my mood picked up with the arrival of my bro & SIL. The dinner was complete with entertainment provided by the Machado chickadees, "Machado Idol" and a puppet show by Mikey & Megs, it was hilarious, though Mikey's suggestive ideas are causing a bit of worry. We ended that night with Edward heading out and Mischa staying back browsing Facebook; "hurry up already Mish, time to join in the fun!".
We had an extremely active past few days. With Noel's arrival, spending the day with Kevin & Peggy, lunches, dinners and late nights drinking bottles of wine and whiskey in my balcony. I also had the pleasure of having my Godson Christian spending two nights with us; while Noel will be here indefinitely.
The highlight of the Chinese New Year break would have to be our visit to Sungei Buloh! Yeah, I actually went there, I had no choice in the matter of course as Gerald insisted that we take the chickdees there for some adventure. Anyway, I've got loads of pictures and will put them up in a day or two.... depending on my mood.

Annoying Ad Jingle
I woke up this morning with part of an annoying tv ad jingle in my head. It's an old TVC and I think it's bank related... It goes something like this "life is what we make/you to be..... save with". Who remembers this? Yah I know it's not even complete, 'sorry' but it's all I can remember.

A New Year, A New Beginning
Ok ok, am sorry for the lack of posts but I haven't exactly been inspired. It's been a busy month for me as is with everyone else. The chickadees and I are more or less settled into some kind of a crazy routine. It's Baba's big year this year PSLE, which means no distraction for him, Megs is in P4 and Mikey in K1.
Our trip to Bali was excellent and I'm glad the chickadees and I went as we were given a wonderful time. We did everything different which helped us a great deal. It almost seems that Tuan had a hand in ensuring that our trip would not be the same as usual.
Anyway, I've decided that this year I will do my very best to ensure that I shower my chickadees with more love and happiness. They have been thru so much and having been dwelling in my own world of misery I've neglected them. So no more tears, no more bitterness, no more anger for me. I shall just accept what God gives with an open heart. I always encouraged Tuan to live life to the fullest for we never when our last day will be, to live life with no regrets so that our conscience will be clear. I haven't done that and I can just hear Tuan saying "yah babe you clever to talk only".... well now I am going to live for my babies and for the repose of Tuan's soul. He will always be the only man for me, my soul mate.
I've done another ditty of our recent trip, not one of my best work tho'. The songs used in the video clip are a toast to new beginnings for my chickadees and me. Thank you one and all for your patience, sympathy and understanding. It's now time for me to walk the rest of my journey alone. Cheers & God Bless.

Hiho Hi Ho It's Off To Bali We Go
It's off to Bali on Tuesday evening and by joe, the chickadess are darn excited! Mikey has packed up his whole cupboard! I'm not sure how many times I had to unpack cos everytime I did that, my little terror would sneak back in the room, lock the door and chuck everything back in! yeah you laugh... i find it irritating! It's going to be a l...o...n...g.. day tomorrow. Our flight is at 7pm but the chickadees will probably be ready by 7am! I'm already striking up a headache from just thinking of Mikey continuously asking "when are we leaving?".
We're feeling strange actually going away without Tuan... so surreal. The first of everything after someone passes is always the hardest and it doesn't matter or get easier with the number of deaths; there will always be the first time. Anyway, we'll be in good hands and we'll be fine. So those of you who are worried, don't be for this is a journey the chickadees & I have will have to make. umm I'm talking about life journey, not Bali....
Below is a little ditty i put together last year of the IndoPura group & a little of our Bali trip '06. I only have 10mins of airtime of dropshots so it'll cut off abruptly... don't worry nothing sad.
