Work in progress......

all wet works are done... and i am ready for my holidays in Vietnam in a couple of days time... many thanks to my sweetheart helping me to clean up... i really like the white wall and the rubbish chute now..
indeed, a brand new look and feel of the house, really good !

Year end renovation ....

Really busy october and November . Not only work but also at home !! Really Want to have a brand new kitchen for the new year.... As renovation , it's really a nightmare.. Dust all over the place and the furbies need to park at big sister house at least for a couple of weeks till the wet done done, tiles are up ....

In the home....

it's has been a month staying in the home.... She is looking much better and adapting well .... Though the home is rather far for all of us but I think its alright as long as she is well ....

August.... a time for celebration.......

August... just to find another reason to gather together to have meals and fun with friends and loved ones........One year older and i hope i am wiser, and of course, to grow old gracefully.. Again, thank God for all the provisions for all of us!

Mixed feelings.........

a new hair do on the last day stay in the hospital before we send her to nursing home. this is our last resort for her to have proper meals and medication... i feel comforted to see her finally receiving proper care, but on the other hand, also feel sorry for her to adapt to another new environment... its going to be hard on her, but we don't have any other options for now......

family fotos with val's graduation ..

selected the best four from these stack of studio photos.. just cant take my eyes of them.. they are really well taken.. i will surely do it again when she gets the hat on, thats three years later completing her degree in arts...

HongKong with the young adults....

five days in hong kong with the children... nope, they are no longer children..but young adults... was like having a marathon.. we walk and shop all the days.. my old bones are cracking up.. however, we do really really have a wonderful time spending together...

Trident at Gurgaon....

this is one of the best hotels i ever stayed..... just love the tranquility that she provides.. really soothes you from the maddness in the traffic.... going back home tomorrow, surely will miss this heaven-like hotel.....

Val's graduation...

finally, the day has come that Val is graduated from her SG polytechnic..and i am so thankful for God's provisions over the years....

8th may ---- a mix of grieving and comfort...

In the midst of sadness over the GE2011,.. a little gift from my kids to wish me a Happy Mother's day which brings a little comfort to me........
Days ahead will be tough, especially for the younger generations with fierce competition from the foreign kids that the government bring in... No one can help us except God....

our Big sis

we have a birthdae bash for our dear big sis last friday....
Cant express enough my gratitude for her support in all these years...

I remember during those early years when i fostered my young children to her...
it was the toughest time for me .. Picking them up on fridays and sending back to her on sunday nights.. Without fail, she will tell me to stay back for dinner before i leave .. Looking back, i just wonder how i got those years over with me.... I thank God for the strength..Before i know Him, he already knew me... and thank you for such a Big sis i got.. for better and for worse, i know she is with me :)
