Life Expectancy: 65 Years
Claud
An avid collector of your hopes and worries, a romantic at heart.
She thanks her fairies, for blessing her with people who know compassion down to an art.
For accepting her for who she is, who never fails to turn up,
in times of need as well as happiness, or just there for a loving hug.

Long Hours
I need a break...yes, Claudia has finally professed that she needs time out. =(
Today's 冬至. My grandma made some 汤圆 which has a red bean and sweet potato soup base! It was really nice and the thought the number of calories that's going into my body makes be gulp. But hey....festival leh, so have excuse to eat =D Yvonne and aunty kwan came too and they brought 2 bowls of different tang yuan also....one with filling (which i can't make out because of the *cough cough* quantity of it) and one without....heehee, i (expectedly) liked the one yvonne made better...hahahaha, the one without filling...
Grace came today =) It was really great to have her around....hahahaha, she's so funny.
Her mum came today too...but at night and she stayed the longest i ever seen...from 6pm to about 8:30pm. When she left, she hugged my grandma to tears, literally, and told us to take care...so sweet of her...She told me that she's very grateful to my mum for introducing to her jobs so that she won't be jobless and all...
My mum's ex-colleague also came and said that my mum need not have been retrenched from Compaq if not for her kindness and all...life wouldn't have been so bad.
Sometimes i look back (and at my piano since it was bought with her retrenchment money) - if we knew that my mum would go through so much now, would we have thanked her more, love her more and just be grateful? I guess it's a lesson to all of us, we can't really take anyone for granted and then regret when they are no longer able to be there for us. I don't know what to do or say to make it better....
In times like these, people ask me to trust God, meditate in front of Buddha, pray to Allah....i'm still firm that if you cannot find a miracle, then you are the miracle.
My mum is her own miracle...
At least that's what "It" told me in a dream...through the figure of Kristelle showing me a line in newspaper...(it was a strange dream Kris, but it was you but definitely not you...eh, you know what i mean?)
