Stomach flu

Been stuck at home with the stomach flu for the past 3 days :(
It's been really boring but I've tried to be useful researching on stuff like washing machines, vacuums, fridges and other appliances.
Haven't been able to keep my food down much but it seems to be getting better!
It's almost the end of april!
Time to buck up and get things done!

We are going to look at our wedding album layout next Wednesday :)
Then we will go shopping for furniture and appliances over the next few weekends.
It's truly a phase in life when we cross a whole lot of milestones all at once.
So excited for the next few months.
And next month I'll finally be a teensy bit less busy with work so I can hopefully catch up with more friends!!
Looking forward to May! :)

Homeowners

Q and I are officially homeowners!!
We got our keys at approximately 4pm this afternoon!
And we went down like eager beavers to measure and inspect every thing to plan our month of renovations..
SO many things to do in the next few weeks!!
But so so so exciting!!
We have crossed yet another milestone together :)
and it's a very teensy bit less than 3 months to the big day!
So excited now for the day the renovations are done and I can start my cleaning frenzy and getting everything in perfect place.
WHEEEE!
It's been a really exciting 4 months and it's going to get even more exciting!! :)

It's too late for an engagement party.. isn't it?

pffft.

Friday the 13th

I am not superstitious but Friday the 13th just gives awful situations a reason to happen.

Woke up this morning to an email that made me really sad.

It is just very sad to see people in my field of work start doing it just for the money.

I am not naive to think that we all don't need money or we all don't want to some day make it big.

But when your job has a greater purpose, it becomes very selfish to only think of yourself and your pocket.

When you focus on your earnings, it becomes very easy and almost inevitable that you lose your 'therapy mojo' as I call it.

I think we already make a comfortable amount that we have the freedom to give in some instances.

But now I see people start counting the pennies and try to squeeze something out from every corner they can, and forget about the greater purpose of giving this children a fighting chance in today's world and society.

I feel really sad to have to write off another therapist friend because friends and co-workers in this field is very hard to come by :(

Great start to Friday the 13th huh?

Jiam Jiam

I learnt a new word from Q today: jiam jiam.

It means sharp/pokey.

hahahaha..

I laughed really hard when he said it because even though I have never heard the word before, the sound of it pretty much explains what it means.

I don't know how it does it though..

It just sounds like what sharp/pokey would sound like..

Q and I are 10 days away from getting the keys to our home.

Things have been really busy lately.

Q has been pretty much drowning in work and I have been busy training and working at the same time on top of planning for the wedding and doing my course for a Certificate in Autism.

I'm glad everything is more or less settled.

We are eagerly waiting for May, when everything will be a little less busy..

And we can legitimately shop for furniture.

We do enjoy pretending to be potential customers in furniture shops though ;)

We are also only a little over 3 months away from our wedding.

THAT I cannot believe.

I am about to begin my transformation into Bridezilla.

Muahahahahahaha... I mean... ROOOOOAAARRRR.
