new addition



we have a new addition to our home today. the 2nd hand piano that we bought was delivered this afternoon. darling has always wanted to have a piano at home but has put the idea off cos we had spent too much for our wedding, home and renovation.

 

our original plan is to get it in dec when we got our bonus. but we had bring it forward cos i happened to chance upon a thread in a forum where a lady is selling off her 2 years + old piano away before she moved house. so we took the opportunity to see the piano and got it at $1500. its not exactly very cheap but reasonable for a 2nd hand one that is not too old. 

 

i have arrange for tuning tomorrow. after that, darling can start playing on the piano again and for me, i can start to pick it up again. i had started learning a few years back but stop after 4 months. hehehe...... now with a piano at home and darling around, i had no reason to pick it up again.

my darling

i was helping my colleague in moving a few cartons of a4 paper today. we were trying to place them onto the trolley so that we can move it from the store to our office. after placing them on the trolley, i realised a slight pain in my stomach. i think i have pull one of the muscle while carrying the carton. the pain is not too bad but did lasted for more than an hour. lucky, the pain was gone before i knock off. if not, he will sure drag me to see doc. 

 

back in my seat, i decided to sms my darling to tell him about it. hoping that he will 'sayang' me with words. hehehe.... didn't expect darling to have such a major reaction from my sms. he called me immediately to check if i'm ok. ask where is the pain, is it very bad and he sounded very worried. keep telling me that i shouldn't carry such heavy things and should not strain myself. in future, get others to do it. 

 

i'm touched by him, didn't expect to get such big reaction from him. if i know, i wouldn't have told him. when he came to fetch me, the first time he said is, still got pain (touching my stomach)? even back home now, he still continue to check on me making sure that i'm not in pain. 

 

thanks darling, i'm really very 幸福 to have you with me.

odd dream

i had an odd dream yesterday... i dreamt that i had a miscarriage again. although i know that i'm definitely not pregnant at this very moment it does make me feel uncomfortable. 

 

and so happen that i received a call from aunt asking if i'm pregnant already (they didn't know about my miscarriage). they thought i'm on pills, she said quickly have one when you can. not young liao don't drag. 

 

maybe its just coincident but i do feel uncomfortable about it for the whole day. dare not tell darling about it, don't want him to worry. i had just talked to my close friend about it, feeling better now.

jigsaw

yesterday we bought a set of 500 pieces disney jigsaw. i had always enjoy the process of putting them together. luckily, darling don't like, then there is no one to fight with me. heheh.....

i had started on it today at 2.30pm and its done by 6pm. the next step now is to glue them and darling will send it off to frame. yeah!!! 

 

Here's the completed set. we are going to hang it up on the wall facing the main door, on top of our shoe cabinet. hopefully with this, the wall won't look so empty.



when i'm old - a letter to my child

i heard this article on let's shoot programme today. find it very meanful and touching.

<<当我老了>>——写给孩子的一封信

当我老了，不再是原来的我。
请理解我，对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时，
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语，
请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。
你从小的时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，
直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时，请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。

当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时，
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时，我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说，谈论什么并不重要，
只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。
理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始
学习如何生活时我对你那样。

当初我引导你走上人生的路，
如今请陪我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

recently, darling and me are into playing games. it all started last week when we were transferring data into the new external hard disk that we bought. while waiting for the data to transfer, we started playing '飞机棋'. since then we had been playing all sort of games like uno, animal games, monopoly. we know we are a bit bo liao but we enjoyed it. heheh..... darling is no good with monopoly, he always end up bankrupt. hahah.... he said luckily, its just a game and not real life or else he sure die. hahahah.....
