My Valentine's Present

Sad news................

I have just received an email from a very dear friend. Even though we have not met, we have always kept in touch by emails and phone calls. It was only recently that I have heard from him. And it was not good news. It seems that his leukemia was back with a vengeance. He have been battling this for a long time and every time when he thought it's in remission, it comes back again. So now, the doctors have given him 4 choices:- a) do nothing, b) continue with the chemo on low dosage, c) continue with the chemo on high dosage or d) seek for a 2nd opinion with another hospital. He have chosen the second choice but the future looks really bleak. I wish there was just something that can be done. He does not even deserve this at all. There is just so much for him to do, as he is only in his 30s...but it seems that God have other plans for him. The only thing now I can do on this side of the world is to pray for him and hope he gets well soon.

A difficult decision............

There comes a time in life when I have to make a humongous decision and it's quite difficult when there are so many factors involve. Well, I have discussed with hubby and we feel even with one income, we can survive, then I do not need to worry so much. But the thing is, I also got some of my own loans to pay and if I were to stop working, would I be able to pay them off without letting hubby know? Sigh....sometimes, it is just so hard to decide. Anyway, I will have to wait for a response from Saturday's meeting to see if I do get it. And from what M just told me, I do stand a good chance, but I will need a black and white confirmation. So if this is confirm, then I will be able to make up my mind and firm up my decision. And from there, I will have to make adjustment, not only in work but also in the finances, which, it should not be that hard..... or is it???

Thank you Hubby!

Hubby got me my Valentine's Day present...a Swatch watch. Well, technically, he gave me the money to go and buy the watch. I have chose a very simple and nice design. But I was really lost for choice as I also liked this other design. No worries, I will go and get the other design by myself, hopefully by next month.

Not a good start......

Today is the 3rd day of the CNY and lil princess fell sick. She had a high fever yesterday of 38.5 and the whole night I was making sure that the fever does not go up to 39, if not,I would have to send her to the hospital immediately. This morning, when she got up, her fever did not subside, so I was keeping my fingers crossed that the clinics are open. Alas, it was not the case. Both my family doctor and the paediatrics clinics are not open. So I had to go down to the pharmacy to get over the counter medication. I'm so worried that her fever will continue to climb as she has vomited out the medication that I've fed her. Looks like it's going to be another sleepless night again.

The lunar new year is just less than 4 days away and I have yet to do up the study room. Well, the study table and cupboard are here in the room, but it's still a bit bare. Need to add the finishing touches quickly before the new year. Yikes!!

Anyway, I'm hoping that this would be a good year for me, money and career wise. Although I'm still thinking about the other job offer....sigh, sometimes when a person is just too comfortable in his/her comfort zone, it's quite tiring to start all over again. So I guess I will give it another thought and see how after the new year. On another note, I have finally join a gym. This shows that I'm really serious in losing weight and getting healthy. But hopefully I will be motivated to go, if not it would be money wasted.....
