It's been a long while... since I get to have a relaxed day....

Nice to be able to hang around with your loved ones... and get things done...
Managed to accomplish a few things that was left hanging around...
Managed to walk around for a few hours and also managed to spend some time together..
Just enjoying the company... without any rush or stress..
Hhaha... though we meet up almost everyday... but it's always rushing from place to place.. and never a relaxing time to do nothing but just hang around...

So its a nice time spent today...
And in the midst... alot of sms-es sent out also..
Hahha... I wonder how a detailed sms sent out can still be mis-read...
Sigh.... maybe sometimes I'm too detailed... such that people can't really be bothered to read through all the details... Hhahaa...
They merely screened through and guess what I wanna say ba.... hehe..

Well.... i squeeze in as much info so that everyone can save on their sms..
No need to send one qn... send one reply.. and then send another qn and reply...
Hahaha... but well.. not everyone appreciates that... well well...
Sometimes... I really wonder if i need to send to so many people....coz i wonder if those recipients read them and the best thing is you don't even get any acknowledgement from them..
Hahha... so.. sometimes I just can't help but feel extra... haha...

Well...

Sleep early.. wake up early tmr.. :)

Having someone so close to you... yet you can't talk..
Having someone so close to you... yet you can't share...
Having someone so close to you... yet you don't see eye to eye...
Having someone so close to you... yet you don't share the same vision..
Having someone so close to you... yet you have nothing in common...
Having someone so close to you... yet do not understand you...

What's there left to say?

You are a Romantic Realist

Okay, so you fall in the middle. You know that love isn't like a greeting card... Yet you can always find a greeting card to describe your feelings. You are the best of both worlds Girly yet independent, dreamy yet serious. Almost any guy can find balance with you.

After some diagnosing.. she needs to be admitted...
Thank God.. it was only for a few hours.. she was 'discharged' later.. and i took her back...
But there was still some unknown condition which had to be dealt with..
Because the 'hospital' closes at 5pm.. i had to leave with her.
I asked for the 'medicine' to be given to me and I'll 'feed' her on my own till she's 'well'..

Yeah.. and it took me a good 6 hours of care and patience to nurse her back to 'health'!

Your Life Path Number is 5

Hahhaha.... too late.. too bored... so some quizzes again... hehe... Been a long while since i last do all these.. ehhe.. enjoy!! :) ___________________________________________ Your purpose in life is to life freely and collect experiences. You love life - new adventures, new people, new ideas. You are very curious, and you crave novelty in all forms. You tend to make friends easily, and you enjoy the company of all types of people. In love, you are fun and even a bit intoxicating. But you won't stick around for long. You are impulsive and spontaneous - which sometimes leads you to do things you regret. Sometimes you can be overindulgent with food, sex, or drugs. You have many talents, so many that you are often scattered and unfocused.

Wow... woke up at about 10plus today...
And suddenly.. for a long long while... I feel so.... unburdened...
Not saying that I'm always burdened...
But i just felt a kind of no stress, no strings attached kindda thing...

Cleaned up the dusty house... floors were super dusty.. I wonder why so fast.. haha...
Bathed and went to meet a church mate to pass her some mooncakes.. haha..
It was a long story...
Mmm.. but since i have the time.. i shall just blog it down...

There were a few batches of mooncakes that were delivered to my place.. and one of it was through my mum's upline.. Edmund.
So on Sat nite.. Edmund came with about 5-8 boxes of mooncakes.. can't rem how many le...
So happily packed them into bags that i need to carry to bring on Sunday Morning...
And happily i passed to my respective 'customers' who have placed their orders..

Only on Thursday night when I was packing for the remaining boxes that I realised that I've got a box of White Lotus Double Yolk missing! And instead, I've extra box of Delight Variety left!
So i called up Edmund, thinking that there must have been a mistake.. only to find out that out of kindness, he has swopped a Delight box with the not-so-nice Double yolk box and had used the Delight box to contain the Double Yolk Mooncakes..
All the boxes are labeled on the outside, you see...
So when i pack..I didn't open up individual box to check la.. which sometimes i might, just to be sure.. but that night i didnt la.. and he was supposed to tell me of the swop but had apparently forgotten... faint...
And hence began my frantic search of the owners of Delight orders..
It came down to 2.
So on Friday night, the owner was confirmed and he verified that one of his supposedly Delight box contained 4 pcs of Double Yolk instead. Haha...
So.. i began the can-i-exchange-it-back-with-you thingy and finally after a few calls and smses,
I was supposed to pass the original Double Yolk customer her 1 box of Double Yolk this morning... and i managed to get her to pass to the 2nd person his Delight box during svc tonite.
Haha.. both of them are going for service tonite.. but i'm not..
So.. since Mr Delight was supposed to pass to Ms Yolk her Double Yolk, might as well get Ms Yolk to pass Mr Delight his Delight box as well..
hehehe...

So... i took a 20min ride bus to Ms Yolk's place... passed her both boxes of mooncakes, and then make my way home.. After a while.. i received a sms from Ms Yolk.. the sms amuses me.. and so.. it read:
"Just to let you know. Mr Delight(names changed to protect the identity of my customers) agreed. He will enjoy the "double yolk' blessing & I'll 'delight' myself in the 4 different flavor mooncakes. We don't exchange liao :)"

Hahaha.. that was nice.. saves them both the trouble and hassle of bringing a box of mooncakes to service and back.. hehee... but the yolk is $3 more expensive la.. so Mr Delight benefits from it loh.. hehehehe...
But.. its still my mistake partly lah...
Teaches me a lesson to be more meticulous the next time...
Contradicting right??
To say that a person as detailed as me.. is still not meticulous enough...
Ya loh.. how can i afford not to be C??
Whenever I'm not, things go wrong... Of coz I have to be C and to always ensure things are done in the exact manner...

Hahahha.. and that's the reason why.. most of the times, i rather do everything myself to avoid any mistakes... hehehe.. and if anything goes wrong.. i have only myself to blame...
Like what Darling says... we can get things done alone and if anything goes wrong, at least we can't blame anyone for the error.
Hahah...

Yeah... and on a lazy Saturday afternoon.. I'm at home alone... using the PC and going for a nice.... massage later... I've still got one time left from a package years ago... really.. i think 2 years ago... hahahah... so.. it's the last one le... sigh.. after this.. i wont know when I'll get to enjoy such luxury again... Mmmmm.....

Yeap... its been a long while I'm at home at this time... and its kindda nice.. to be doing nothing at home.. relaxing.. and being online... hahhaa... suddenly i miss those times at home.. where I'm so bored that I have nothing to do and all i do is sit in front of the PC and chat the whole day....
The busyness of SOTM and being attached.. has left the past many Saturdays busy and running around all the time..

Supposed to have an appt today.. but he postponed.. can't make it again.. sigh..
Takes forever to meet this prospect.. Mmm... next Sat i might not be available.. so.. gotta see when then can get to meet him le... hehe...

Mmmm.. okay.. time to go for my massage le... coming home and have a dinner appt with a group of frens tonite...
Not all invited.. so... again.. identities kept a secret... heheheh.....
Yeah... long day tmr... hopefully I can come home early tonite and have a good rest....

Lalallalallalaalallalal~~~~

Yes.. i guess so..
I came to that conclusion after analysing what has been happening..
It's either I'm just cranky about everything and everybody or that everyone is finding fault with me.. I don't think the latter is true..and so.. I must be cranky...

And the reason for being cranky?? I don't know.. seriously..
Things hasnt been going well in almost.. can i say EVERY area of my life?
From Personal...(my laptop is giving me problems that i feel like slamming it on the floor..)
To Family.. (mummy has been ignoring me for 2 days now.. today is the 3rd... all because... i'm not too sure either.. but i guess its due to the small little fact that took place 3 days back.. she ignores me, gives me the cold shoulder when i talk to her.. so.. i can't really find out the real reason... till she cools down ba... till then, nothing i do will appease her... yah...)
To Ministry..(yah.. some things happened..)
Is there another area?
Prob I'm still okay in the area of Love.. don't see anything major yet.. unless Darling refuses to forgive me for being cranky at times when I don't even know why.. :P

Or maybe... its just the time of the month that makes me feel this way... maybe...

And i guess.. through it all.. God'll be able to teach me a good lesson...
I think its been a long while.. since i feel soo.... helpless... and everything and everyone going against me.. hahaa...

Woke up on the wrong side of bed today maybe...
From a nice day in the morning.... i think everything went out fine till my laptop gave me some problems...
Okay.. not really problems.. but there is something capturing error with the e-submission thingy that my company is implementing.. somehow.. i dunno.. my laptop is unable to capture.. i've left it there for 2 days since Monday... and took it back on Wed.. now.. it can't be used again.. URGH! I spent the whole afternoon in office trying to fix it..and i can't connect to the Helpdesk...
URGH URGH!!
Gotta bring it down to Helpdesk again on Monday...
And I hope i can get it back on Monday... have appt to settle.. sigh....

God... please have mercy on me.... Help me and save me!!!

Rom 8:28
All things work out for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose..

I shall hold on to Your promise that everything will turn out fine eventually...

Was just talking to Yan.. or rather.. she came to talk to me..
Hehehe.. Yah.. she reminded me a few things...
Ultimately, we are all accountable to God ourselves.. we shouldnt let what people say affect us or cause us to sink into depression...
Did I mention that tears filled my room that night?
My pillows were wet.. bedsheets wet... i simply lay there, feeling cold and helpless..

Yan reminded me also of Pst Kong.
He may be doing what is right.. but there are still bound to be criticisms from people who are jealous, who don't understand or wateva... But because he knows what he is doing and Who he is serving.. he don't care about those negative remarks and never allow them to affect him in any negative way.. instead, he continually look up to God, to the One who called him, who led him, who guided him..

Yes.. times may be difficult.. may be tough.. but its what we go through.. so that we can grow and learn.. someone down the road will face such problems too... and having gone through them, I would be in a better position to encourage them...
God never lets anything happen for no reason or in vain...

Watever unrighteousness or sufferings I'm going through now, I'm sure God can turn it ard for something much better..
My trust comes from God...
My belief is from God...
And I look up to God all the time!!

Amen!!

Thank God for friends who care... :)

Thanks Yan!! :D

Watched a movie last night.. "No Reservations.."
And something the little girl, Zoe said set me thinking..
She had lost her mother in a car accident while they were travelling to visit her aunt (zoe's mum's sister). Upon arriving, Zoe was admitted to hospital and she was left in the care of Kate-her aunt.
Kate tried all she could or she think she knew how to make Zoe comfortable and helped her to settle down. Though she did the best and provided the best for her, Zoe was the least unmoved.
Somehow, what Kate thought is the best doesnt seem to be what Zoe needed or wanted.
There was still something missing..
The personal touch and those heart-tickling feeling..

One fine day, Kate forgot about Zoe and didnt pick her up from school till she reached home. When she rushed to the school, Zoe was still there waiting for her, but Zoe was angry.
She said, "you forgot about me.."
Kate tried to explain otherwise but Zoe insisted and said the same thing.
Kate apologized but that didnt helped to make Zoe feel any better.
She was furious, went home and kept herself in the room.

Kate said, "I'm sorry, I'm doing everything that is wrong.." and walked out of the room.
Zoe called her back and said, "Kate, you are not doing everything wrong.."
It was a moment of ..... i dunno... realization??

In the 1st few days when Zoe first was discharged from hospital, Kate was trying to find out whats her fav. color? What's her fav. number.. etc..

Zoe told her.." You dont have to do this.."
Kate: "Do what?"
Zoe: "Try so hard.."

This thing knocked hard on me.. I was thinking.. have i been trying too hard??
To do what??
Who were i trying hard for?
What am i trying hard for?
What am i striving for?
Who am i striving for?

I dunno..
I know I'm just doing my best.. the best i know how..
But that may not be what others feel is the best..
Maybe I've been too demanding... and expecting too much from too many..
Maybe I should have just relaxed... and take things easy...
But how can I when there are deadlines to face?

I know i can get it done myself, on my own if i have to...
But when I'm working in a team.. and if people do not cooperate, then how can i ensure that i can get them to coorperate with me? How can i get them to share my burden?
Does other people have a burden like mine?
And why should I care so much when no one cares?

Maybe.. I tried too hard...
It gets tiring when you are running on your own.. its no fun at all..
There's no support and even if there were.. its from people outside the circle... outside where you are from.. Their nice and sweet words.. are never enough to cover the nasty, cold words that you are getting inside the circle... especially when you know that others are talking about you.. about how you do things.. about how DIFFERENT you are... which according to some.. is good.... if it is really good... then why are you not doing what is good?
And why leave it to just me who is doing the good?
And why isnt anyone else doing what is good??

I don't understand... and i really don't understand where the problem lies..
Being too detailed is bad... demanding too much is bad...
Perhaps.. its all about moderation.. But isnt moderation equals to that I just do what everybody else is doing??
Then what kind of difference and impact would i have made?
Then I'll just be like the rest of the people... just like them...

Doing nothing much and achieving nothing much..
Just happy where they are... and striving for nothing else...

But that's not me.
I'm not mediocre...
I don't think I'm trying that hard..
This is JUST me!
I'm just doing what I'm Called to do...
What I'm been endowed to do..
To accomplish what I've been asked to do...
And achieving what I've been wanting to get..

Any why is it that its just so miserable being who i am?
I feel so lonely... so deserted.. so cold... where i am...
No one... or maybe only one...who's for me, with me...
why are you all against me??

All the time!! And All the Time, God is good!!

He's never early nor late.. He's always right on time..
He knows better than anyone of us what we need.. and He's there to always supply that vacuum in us... No matter what went wrong, we can always look up to God and trust Him to see us through..

Yeah... Like what someone (can't remember who..) said... we never have to be anxious or worried.. Everything will always turn out well.. as long as God's hands are in it!!

Its just so infuriating and irritating...
When 2 persons of different personality traits work together.
Especially when one is detailed.. and one is indifferent.
Can't stand it..
And I'm almost blowing up!

Perhaps a person who is detailed can never understand how another can be so indifferent about things.. never urgent.. never accurate nor exact...
Everything is about.. around... i think... just put down xxx la....
?????????????????
Can't you be more specific?? Exact???
I want things to be detailed and as exact as possible!!!!

Urgh!!!
*blood all over my room*
And now.. looks like I gotta clean up the mess...

Yup... time is really zooming past me every now and then...
Come again.. it is Monday... (read: dread)
Hahha... I think it could be Monday blues.. I dunno..
Don't use to have them.. but nowadays... I'm just so exhausted after Sunday that Monday is just like a resting day for me.. hehe.. :)
Just like church staff.. keke..

Yah.. didnt wake up to a good, fine day though.
Mouth was in pain.. or rather.. gum was in pain..
because the wisdom tooth on top had overgrown and is poking into my lower gums...(read: OUCH!)
So... went for lunch with mum..and went to see the dentist... and once again...
The doctor says its the same as the last time... so... only solution is to EXTRACT!
Yah... prepared for it.. knew that he would say that... haha... so i can be dentist too le.. hahahah..
But of coz.. dentist involves more than that...

So... gave my consent and he started to put anaesthetic...
Told him to polish my teeth as well.. so started polishing and then the extraction began...
Grrrrrr.... pull and pluck... *crack*
I was stunned.. i tot the tooth broke or something...
then i felt something on my tongue... the dentist said "sorry.." and picked up the piece from my tongue..
"Rinse your mouth.."
I got up to rinse... plenty of blood... Eeeeeee......
Then i asked.."its out already?"
"yes" was the reply..
Thank God.. I thought the tooth broke and i was thinking... he gotta pluck again??
I think he just let go and the tooth fell of the "plier" ba...
hehe...

Soo... i rinsed in peace... and then went out for my painkillers and extra cotton buds to change...

$45 for extraction... $35 for polishing.. $80 spent...
Ouch....
Now.. its been an hour... Doctor says if the bleeding stops..then i can start to eat...
But... i can still feel blood in my throat...

Hur hur hur.... anaesthetic wearing off...and i can feel the pain...
Sigh...a few people called.. and i can hardly talk to them... faint....

Alright.. many things to settle now... off to settle them...

I thought I was prepared and ready...
Because I had been given the honor to know about it in a way some weeeeksss back...
Even though I was prepared mentally... when reality sets in... it's totally a different thing...

I thought I was strong.. but perhaps not...
After making all the necessary calls to the necessary persons... I hung up.. and stared into space...
Having asked them many times.. "You okay with it ma??", I guess I was the one.. who wasn't really okay....
I mean... when i was done with the last person... I spoke to Darling...
and tears just welled up inside my eyes.. and before i know it... they were rolling uncontrollably down my pinky cheeks... I couldn't say anything at all... I was sobbing hard....
Sigh... I know... It's for a good cause... I know.... we're still together.... but....
There's just lots of 不舍得... 6 months I've spent with them... sowing into their lives...
Challenging them and motivating them to always do better.. learn and grow.... and now...
The Harvest is here... Time to reap... MMMm... yah.. but not for me... well.. not exactly...
It's for the good of the WHOLE section..
I must learn... to be less focused on just what belongs to me...
But to learn to look at the whole picture....
But.. the thought of sending out those dearest to me... really hurts...
I literally felt like... cutting my heart up and distributing it out....

But i know.. what I've taught.. will be put to better use... I can't keep them with me forever... they'll grow mouldy de... They need to go where they are needed... and fulfill greater plans and destiny God has in place for them!!

Yesh!! I'll continue to be a good nurturer... leader... where I'll continue to impact more lives.. train up more people!
Yesh!!
Thank You God, for using me.. and once again, for me to see that those who are dear to me.. are all capable of greater heights!!

Thanks Jie... for always believing in me.. and placing more responsibility into my hands...
I'll always do my best! :)
Yeah.. :)

Sigh... suddenly became sooo emo after a movie....
It was a rather sad movie... at least... i guess the lead actress's life was cham enough... :(

I think I'm very into shows/dramas/movies... whenever i watched something.. i can like totally feel for them and relate with them.. even though I may not have gone through any of what they went through....
The movie's based on a real life story though... so... yah....
The lead actress hung herself in the end... yah... Mmm... that scene still in my mind...
I shan't watch such shows in future... made me think and think.. haiyo...
From the moment I left the cinema till i reached home... my mind was just playing what the actors/actresses said.. Spoil my good mood....
Sorry Darling... to have to bear with my mood swing.....

As if I wasnt moody enough... came home, checked my email and it just added to my moodiness... More changes gonna take places... and I'm SO SAD! :~(
Sigh... CHANGE is the only constant....
Change is for the better... whatever I've sowed... I believe will grow to higher heights...
When there's no more room for my 'plants' to grow in my room.. I guess.. I just have to shift them to another place where there's more room for them to get more sunlight and water so that they will not stay to fight for survival... hahaha....

Yah... Well... New plants coming in as well.... Time to continue sowing and building up more lives... hahaha... :/

I'm not in a good mood now....
Off to sleep....
ZZZzzzzzzzzz.....................

Yeah... indeed...
Sometimes... i find it sooo difficult to understand people.. Yeah...

When we are concerned..people finds you too nosey...
When we are not... people say you don't care...

Where's the line to draw between being concerned and being nosey??
MMmm... where's the line between being a friend and not??

Sigh... sometimes.. i really don't know what they want..

Hee... why do we even blog???
To express how/what we feel... and for what huh??
For people to know what we want them to do?
Or for people to come and ask us when we are not doing well?
Or for people to know how well and good we are and they can well be jealous of how good our lives are or how many close friends or bad friends we have around us???

Mmm.... i write... just to express how i feel.. and to note down in this place.... things that has been happening in my life... happy moments and sad moments..
So that years down the road.... i can look back and see how much i've grown in my thinking and what/how i've changed.. hehe...

I'm not referring to anyone in particular here... neither am i shooting anyone down.. just thinking of what life is all about... and wondering how difficult it is.. to really understand a person... even the one closest to you... never understand/know what they want..
even parents... spouses... partners... siblings....

Perhaps.. only Jesus knows...

Yup.. Office has new way of filing up all the documents now...
Director wanna save costs... so all printing will be restricted soon...
Everything will be linked to the Copier.. which we have always been charged 5cents a copy..
So in future.. whatever we need to print out... will be printed out via the Copier.. which means.. we gotta PAY for whatever things we need to print out... Duhz....

Meaning... even before we go and see the client.. we need to spend a few dollars to print out a few quotations... coz we wont know which is the client's preference.. if the client decides not to take up anything.. there goes the few dollars... *ouch* :/

And hence... everything that we are gonna keep as reference will be saved via SCANNING.. and therefore, we'll not have to print out everything to keep.. we can also just email our clients the soft copy..so that we can all save the trees.. hehe.. :P

Just started to use the machine today... quite okay la... just that a little confused with the various functions of COPY and SEND... the ADDRESS BOOK and MAILBOX... hahah..
But its rather fun... hehe... and yes... more trees saved.. and more money saved too..
Coz I wont need to buy more Clear sheets and Black Files to file up everything... it'll all be e-Filing.. hehehe.. the risk?? if my thumbdrive crashes or if i lose my thumbdrive... *touchwood*

Yeah... the main problem now would be to transfer all the hardcopies i have for the past 4 years +++ which is equivalent to 5 BIG bulging files of documents that i need to saved to my thumbdrive... Errrr... looks like it'll just take me DAYSSSSSSSS to stand there and scan everything... if only... I have an assistant... hehehe...
I not very rich YET... so I can't afford to pay you VERY WELL... but if u dont mind some bucks... we can work things out... hehehe.. prob a few hours for a few days... will get it all done..while i continue to work and meet more clients... kekeke... :P

Let me know if you're keen... hehehe... :P

Oh.. there's a new card launch today too.... Prudential Platinum Card and Predential PruPrestige Card.. joint with Standard Chartered Bank... very very attractive benefits.... hehehe.. look for me if you wanna apply for one... minimum income requirement is only $30,000....

“Jesus replied, ‘If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me.’”
John 21:22 (NLT)

“He would not do it!” Jesus made the commitment as a youngster; He would not do anything apart from what His Father instructed Him to do. And He certainly would never attempt to take authority over something for which He was not responsible. Do you realize that the pathway to promotion is abruptly halted when this principle is violated? It shows a superior that the current responsibilities are not enough for the employee, and that the employee didn’t choose to go above and beyond in his or her duties. Never attempt to take authority over something for which you are not responsible. Allow me give you an example.

As we see in the above passage, Jesus rebuked Peter the moment he stepped outside of his responsibility. We see how seriously the Lord takes this issue. It wasn’t that Jesus tried to keep something good from Peter by not telling him about John. Jesus tried to lead Peter on a path that would be best for him—and getting involved in someone else’s business would sabotage his life! Peter had to focus 100% on his responsibility, which means that he could put no thought into what another person had to do.

While the Son of God did not take authority for what did not belong to Him, He did consistently lean upon the instructive authority of His loving Father. Why not follow His example by obeying this principle today?

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I mind my own business and do the things I am commanded to do. I refuse to compare myself with those around me, knowing that I do everything as unto You.

Yeah!! Finally!! After 4/5 months of slogging and struggling and mugging... hehehe..
And of coz.. not forgetting all those immersing in the Word of God... SOT is over!!

Well.. it may be the end of intensive training.. but coming up ahead is the beginning of GREATER things!! :)
So proud of my mummy!!! :)

Yeah..!! She passed with 4 As and some Bs and Cs..
To her, it must have been the most satisfying moment to be up on stage, receiving a Advanced Diploma in Theology... She would never have imagined or thought that she could make it...
Even in the last few weeks of SOT, she almost gave up, dreading the thought of writing 10 sermon outlines, which she has no slightest idea how to, even though there were some brief lessons taught.. :p

To someone with just a Primary 5 Education, all these would not have been possible without God's mercy and grace, and of coz, Mum's perseverance and determination... and also.. not forgetting my encouragements here and there... though not very convincing and nice at times.. haha... U know.. sometimes.. reverse psychology works.... :P

Yeah... seeing her up stage today.. was indeed one of the proudest moments... Dad was there.. Da Yi and Er Yi were there too.. so is mum's long time friend... hehee.. :)
We were all happy for her... :)

My CG celebrated for Mum.. coz her CG wasnt really there... only 2 members were seen... hehe.. the rest were back in Chinese Church ba... :|
My CG gave her card and a nice little Xiao Di Dang.. and Darling and I bought sunflowers for mummy!! :)
She had 2 other bouquet of flowers from a fellow classmate from Taiwan and from her CG too.. hehehe... So happy...
Many pics were taken too... and Thanks DARLING RAY!! for helping to take care of my parents and to bring them ard and to follow mummy and be her photographer!! hehe.. *muacks* :P

Went to Er Yi's place after that... we all had dinner together.. and then we celebrated Mum's birthday in advance... Watched some Channel 8 show.. and left for home... hehe... we all had fun.. it was all so tiring... but I guess mum enjoyed every single moment of it...

This blog is dedicated just for Mummy!!So Proud of you!! I love you!!! :)

Some pics... :)
