An Awesome Lunch Date With Awesome Friends

We transformed from "April Babies' Mommies" to "Teacher Mommies" and then "Running Mommies".

We always make it a point to meet during the school holidays and celebrate the children's birthdays together.

We are always supporting one another.

We are always very motivated by one another's sharings and learn from one another's mistakes.

We share jokes and laughter. We share good food too, of course. We share the same frequency in many aspects.

We are people with very different personalities but we are a group of AWESOME friends!

Most Awesome!!

Joining the 2nd Birthday Celebration of Citysquare Mall

CitySquare Mall is one of my favourite malls. I really like the spacious corridors, natural light and the restaurant outlets there. We received newsletter from CitySq Mall to inform us of a series of activities to celebrate its 2nd birthday. There was a finger puppet making session which interest Jaimie and myself and so we made our way there last weekend.

Finger puppet made with recycled materials. Jaimie and I created "Abigail" together. Jaimie is naming each and every of her toys nowadays...=.=

We learned that there was a tea party for children with Garfield and Odie taking place after the puppet making session. The condition: minimum spending of $30 in the mall. Oh, how difficult was that?! *hahaha~~* The children got to meet and greet the 2 cartoon characters, share the birthday cake, got an instant photograph with Garfield and Odie, and brought home a party goodie bag.

Jaimie seemed to like the chocolate cake very much. She was totally engrossed in her cake and couldn't be bothered with the quiz to win more party goodie bag nor was she eager for her turn to meet Garfield and Odie. "Eat my cake first, everything else later." Hmmm!

We were really glad to spend a happy afternoon in my favourite mall.

The Dance Teacher who Made a Difference

This was what I wrote to Ms Sarah in an email to her today:

Hi Ms Sarah!

Here are some of the photos taken today.

I didn't have the chance to tell you how much I appreciated you when you took Jaimie for her TTA. She was so timid and teary but you were always so patient with her, giving her hugs and assurance to make her feel loved and safe. Because of your patience and encouragement, she was given time and space to grow up and developed the passion and confidence to continue dancing. Whenever i see her dancing so happily, i will always remember how you welcomed her to class with your cuddles and comforted her when she was in tears 2 years ago, and i really, really want to say THANK YOU. I am very happy to see you again and i am even happier to be able to tell you the difference you have made to Jaimie.


Cheers,
Angie (Jaimie's mommy)

My Sweet Sweet Daughter

It isn't easy for me lately. Bad PMS, lots of deadlines crashing together, some friction here and there... but my little daughter never fails to cheer me up.

What more can I ask for??? Thank you, Jaimie! Love you so much!

诺亚方舟--五月天2012演唱会

每次离开五月天的常常会演唱会时，都会有亢奋后强烈的失落感。

今天的演唱会，不是热血的LOVE，不是质疑爱是什么，不是现实与梦想的冲突。今天是诺亚方舟。它载着沉重与希望，载着过去与未来，载着每个人的人生。它有平静航行让你思考的时候；它有在风雨中颠簸让你紧握所爱的人和爱你的人的手的时候；它有雨后天晴稳健前进让你看到彼岸的时候。

已经很久了，没有在听《我心尚未崩坏的地方》这首歌的时候有很大的情绪波动。今天在大声合唱的时候，我热泪盈眶。不是因为想起那段不堪回首的前尘往事，而是感激这首歌给当时的我支撑着仅存的骄傲、放大仅存的力量，坚守心中不肯妥协的那一小块土地，我才获得第二人生。

我一直觉得五月天是我的守护天使。我春风得意的时候他们陪我唱歌；我迷惑怀疑的时候他们告诉我做人的原则；我粉身碎骨的时候他们一片一片地把我重新拼凑；我重获新生的时候，他们提醒我珍惜。

走出室内体育场时，没有亢奋、没有失落、没有遗憾。走出室内体育场时，我有满载而归的感觉。即将面临不惑之年的我，更加清楚自己的目标与方向，安心、稳健地向前方驶去。
