It is a routine to ‘lend’ my son, Van to my in-laws once a week for at least 3 days. It is a way for him not to forget his grannies and aunties in my husband’s side. Also, this practice serves as a ‘breather’ from the usual mommy duties I am constantly faced with. Although it is quite tough for a mother to not see her child even for a day, I have learned to get used to it. But I cannot deny the fact that I am silently sufferring from the “missin’ feeling” every single time. Then I saw a Facebook notification tagging me into this photo:
With my son, Van at Coleen’s 1st Birthday
My heart instantly melted when I saw this photo. He looks so adorable. 🙂 Then I realised how blessed I am to have such an angel in my life. Being away from him made me appreciate his value. I can’t wait for him to come back home tomorrow morning.

My husband and I decided to have an unusually indulgent breakfast today so after dropping off our son at my in-laws’ s house, we head to McDonald’s for some early ice cream treat. We had their Cookie butter and Merry berry Mcflurry from their new desserts collection. Both were yummy!

What is more delightful is the note the service crew sticked on our paper bag; it said “Taste sweet success today!” It was indeed a wonderful Monday morning! 🙂

Something different came up today: a reunion with my former workmates in the hospital. This afternoon, I received an SMS from my co-nurse inviting me for dinner because one of our friends is back for her vacation. Of course, I would not pass up on the chance. After all, they are my first colleagues and I miss them so. Liza came back from Abu Dhabi to have her annual vacation. She treated us for a buffet dinner at Tramway where we had our stomachs stuffed with food, and our spirits filled with laughter and good cheer. It was nice to see them again. Most of us are now out of the hospital where we first met but the memories and friendship shall never be forgotten.

Catching up with good ‘ol friends is a sure way to brighten up one’s day. It is like going back to the best days of one’s life as memories are rekindled and friendships are strengthen.

Yesterday was supposed to be our Kris Kringle day but sadly, I did not receive any gifts. However, when I checked the gift box today, I saw this:
Yogurt Fruit Long Sticks
This week’s Kris Kringle theme is “Something Long”. I got a pack of yogurt fruit sticks. It was 50 pieces of fruit flavored, milky goodness. I felt like a kid as I open and eat it. I may have felt bad yesterday because I did not receive anything, but my friendly gift-giver made up for it big time today. It just goes to show that something better always awaits, no matter what the circumstance may be. 🙂

There are days when you choose to just give in to your craving and shrug every thing that tells you not to; today is one of those days for me.
My workmates and I decided to have Banapple for dinner today. Yes, Banapple. Again. Lol. It is becoming a group fave. Today, since I am on a diet (who am I kidding here? Lol.), I ordered their Awesome Blueberry Pancakes. It is a stack of 3 buttermilk pancakes with butter, maple syrup and blueberries. Gaaaah. It was so good. Since I was too hungry when the food arrived, I forgot to take a photo of the entire presentation hence the picture below is, what do I call it, errrr the devoured version?! Lol.

My tummy is so stuffed as I write, I cannot think of any other words to say anymore. Lol. All I know is that today is a happy day again. 🙂
