So not a cookie person
My attempt at baking cookies has been a disappointment. A reminder of why I still prefer baking cupcakes than cookies. I don't know how you can ever make the dough hard enough to be cut by my cookie cutters. The moment I start to keand them, they turn soft and unmanageable. The end product, they look nothing like what I imagined.
Sigh... Back to baking cupcakes instead.

Do something new everyday
I am on a mission to do something new everyday.
In a year that's 365.
In 10 years 3,650 days.
If I did that till I'm 50, 8,030 days.
If I did that till I'm 65, 11,680 days.
If I did that till I'm 88, 21,900 days.
Why these ages?
50 coz that's half a century
65 coz that's the official retirement age in Singapore
And 88 coz I think I dun want to live too old :)
Mission starts from tomorrow! Whee... Something to look forward to.

Sniff sniff
Caught the flu bug and was down since Friday. It's so tiring being sick. Obviously the body feels weak, accompanied by body aches and that's not all, when the head feels groggy from popping too many pills which are supposed to make you feel better.
So the past few days were spent sleeping, resting and recuperating...
Today my mom came over to visit and left me ... I dun even know how to describe those feelings. I know that many times she doesn't have anyone to confide in. But telling your daughter stories about her father will only make me want to distant myself further from him. Sometimes I think, I really could end up just like my mom. In a way, I'm thankful I'm not like both my folks.... Or at least dun have what is not good about them. It's so tough to hear her go on about her stories. It pains me, angers me and leaves me feeling sad at my family.
I know that there is no perfect home and many have it worse than me . But there is always this longing that it can be much better... Maybe I can only wish it will not be worse?
Somehow it makes me think about my future family. I pray that I'll do a better job after I learn from mistakes that others have made without going thru the same pain myself. And to do that, the foundation of the family has to be strongly rooted in God and His Word. I really do want mine to be built on such strong solid grounds. Unshakable and held together by a conquering love. A love not just to overlook but to overcome.
