Remembering 2013

It's time to bid farewell to 2013. 2013 has been rather eventful. The biggest life changing event will be us (me and hubby) getting preggie. This journey has been rather exciting mixed with some fears and worries. 1st trimester had been tough. Morning sickness (which usually happened during brunch and after dinner) saw me reporting to the toilet almost daily. There was constantly a metallic taste in my mouth and whatever i ate made me feel sad. I dont dare to gym, dont dare to walk too long, stay too long.... and the best deal of all... I have to change my teaching style ... from scolding/nagging to patience and more patience. Hubby has been very supportive in the midst of his busy schedule and work. His temper came and went fast when he tried to multi-tasks and I was helpless over household chores as he was not keen for me to do it. But we do grow much as a couple over this pregnancy and hope that baby lee will be strong and healthy and the delivery will be smooth. Visits to the gynae have been exciting to see her growth and all the tests that we have to go through have been encouraging so far....

In the work frontal, there are constant challenges to face and resolve. Doing up the National Arts Education Award had been tough given that I have to grip and synthesis whatever information into words to fill the application up. Constantly being asked to review this and that... with Niche and Learning for Life program. I felt guilty for neglecting my graduating students at times especially over meetings and meetings but in view of current job scope and pregnancy, I have no choice but to priortise. I do learn quite a bit this year as a middle management and my observation in my work place tells me that I just have to be professional in whatever I do. There are certain people that will stop at being just colleagues..... so I need to treasure my friends and family for they are the ones that will be there for me and I am thankful for them for being part of my life this year. 

Took my parents and hubby to visit Perth this june and I am really glad that the trip went well and we enjoyed ourselves. Finally reached the 7th years in teaching and time seems to pass too fast in retrospect. 

Glad to have hubby in my life to share my thoughts and hope 2014 will being us peace, love, health and positive energy in whatever we do and to our loved ones. Hope baby lee will bring us joy and laughter and hopefully less sleepless nights. 

so adieu 2013, I thank you for all my loved ones and...

hello 2014!
