B had to work today. I had a bit of me time after work before I picked Izzie from school. So I did housework. I cleaned up our bedroom counter tops which I felt so unmotivated to clean them every time because they were just so filled with things. And I did this in such hot weather! I washed a load of laundry and hung them. Then I got ready to pick Izzie from school. I felt proud of myself for overcoming procrastination and doing something out of my comfort zone for my family.
I brought Izzie to the tortoise pond and playground after school. She absolutely enjoyed herself. I am so proud of her (and she knows it) for attempting to climb the rope obstacle successfully all by herself. Yay!
I was very blessed by the mommy and her girls. This mommy excuted very good playground safety rules. She would ask her girls to give way/time to “meimei” (Izzie) and not to shake the rope so meimei can navigate her way. Very encouraging to meet someone so positive and friendly and courteous. Because of that I think, Izzie who was afraid of climbing the rope climbed up to the 2nd level 3 times on her own. Awesome job, Izzie.
I cooked dinner for Izzie and she was fuss free through the night. She fell asleep for the night pretty easily too. I am thankful for the angel in her. 🙂
Love this new jammies on Izzie

Wefie taken in Penang
It was our 5th ROM anniversary. We pre-celebrated during our Pan Pac staycation in June. 🙂 I remembered the 1st anniversary celebration was grand with staycation and surprises and gifts. The celebrations grew simpler over the years but still sweet!
This year we had a simple breakfast at home, went out to shop for Izzie’s 3YO birthday @ school celebration stuff (coming up in 2 weeks!), ate lunch and shopped for groceries. B cooked up a celebratory meal of steak, roasted vege and mushroom cheese while I cooked watercress soup. What weird combi? That’s how Izzie likes it. She is a true Cantonese who loves soup!!
It doesn’t matter that the dinner isn’t at some costly restaurant. I just love spending time with these two precious family members eating all our favorite food 🙂

Izzie the cat lover. Today she went on to say, “whiskers, ears, tail” and touched the respective parts of the cat. I allowed her to “sayang” this cat because she fell in love with this since she was very young and the cat allowed her to touch it without scratching her. I think the cat was a little intimidated by her affections though. Haha!
Isabel in my blouse which became her “dress”. Haha!
Isabel saw this and called it “X grass” 🙂
Isabel held my hand while settling down for her nap and said, “I am so proud of you!” It really warms my heart.
Earlier during lunch, she said “Yay!” when she saw her lunch. My girl is super edifying and I am very thankful for that.
One of Isabel’s fave activities to do while waiting for the bus to arrive is “monkey bar”. I’m glad she is leaning towards the more sporting side rather than the fragile side. 🙂
The other day this week when Isabel was building a “tent”!
She squeezed herself underneath her bed which I think was funny 🙂
Just two days ago on a bus journey to work, God reminded me on an incident which happened seven years ago. I was at my lowest questioning who I was. A friend came to my place and talked to me at a nearby playground. Despite my failures, she did not condemn me. Now she is still encouraging me not to give up and that it is okay to be human. I am overwhelmed by God’s love for me: That He sent another great gift to me (not just dying on the cross for me) in my friend. God is indeed good. I’m blessed.
