I Married the Man Who Broke My Heart: Part Three

Taiwan Nature Green Island Dog

Back in Part One and Part Two, I talked about how Sean went from being a good friend, to someone a little more, then back to being a good friend. By then, I’d found a nice boyfriend, N.

A Little Bit About N

N was a friend I’d known back when I was still studying. I knew him to be humorous, and very popular among friends. Before we were in a relationship, we ran into each other during an outing with my ex-coursemates a year before. After that day, he started asking me out. At that point, I wasn’t ready to be in a relationship, so I blew him off after one date. He was very persistent though, but he finally gave up after a few months of trying. Continue Reading…

Sean Michelle Wedding Marriage

Five days ago, Daddy Sean and I celebrated our third year anniversary! Yes, we just turned 3! These have been three excellent years of marriage. While we were dating (for 2 years), many people commented that all the nice stuff that Sean (the then-boyfriend) had been doing for me were because we were still in the honeymoon stage. But he’s been consistent and improving himself as the years go by. Looking forward to more awesome years with Baby J and Daddy Sean! 🙂

To understand why I admire my husband so much, read this post and this post! 😛 Continue Reading…


When Having a Last Minute Poop Saved the Group From a Whole Lot of Trouble

Last Minute Poop

Have you ever missed your flight because of an incident you could not control? Does seem rather annoying at the time, doesn’t it? Ever missed an important event, or arrived late, due to a decision you made? Or because of a last minute poop?

This late afternoon, I took a bet, and went into a small road to avoid the traffic lights at the main road that were turning red. Along that small road, about half the time, a truck may stop there to deliver some goods to the shops and block the road. Or we may even encounter a car waiting to pick someone up along that stretch. I lost my bet. Because even though the traffic lights turned red at the main road, there was a truck delivering goods along the small road I picked. Had I chosen to wait at the traffic lights instead, I would’ve reached my destination slightly earlier. Such inconveniences used to tick me off very easily in the past. But not anymore.

My hubby related this incident that happened to him many years ago. He had planned a trip to Malaysia with two good friends. They were to meet at the train station and travel in by train. It was supposed to be a rather short ride, and they should reach their destination within a few hours. They even met up at an earlier timing for breakfast before their train ride. Continue Reading…


My Dear Husband

Dear and I New Zealand 2013

I really admire my husband, aka Daddy Sean in this site. Sometimes he receives the worst crap from others, but he handles them in the best way.

A couple of weeks ago, Sean received a new tuition assignment to teach Mathematics to a JC year 2 student, which he excitedly accepted because it was close to where we live. The Saturday morning of his first lesson, he kissed me after I booked him a Grab ride ($4 off!), and left promptly. I went about doing my mummy duties, when just half an hour later, I received a phone call from him, saying that he’s coming home because the assignment is off, and that he would tell me the full story when he gets home. Here’s his account of what happened… Continue Reading…

Baby J 3 Months and I

Baby J is almost 6 months old now, and I feel like time is passing too quickly! He’s picking up new tricks every day, and he surprises all of us at home all the time with his cute little antics. As a new mother, I am constantly learning new things. Yes, it can be exhausting caring for a baby, doing milk pumps etc., but I know for sure that motherhood is a journey I will always cherish. Today, I am going to share 5 rather important life lessons that motherhood has taught me, and I’m sure many mothers are going to relate to. I have saved the best lesson for the last!

  1. Empathy Towards Others
    Just a couple of days ago, I encountered a mother teaching her autistic child how to buy drinks at a food court. The child was by herself with her mother watching from a short distance away, and I was just behind her in the queue. Continue Reading…
