Goodness! I don't know where I went and knocked myself. My right knee looks swollen.

Saw the doc, and he said, it looks like a stress crack! What the hell is a stress crack!? Seems it's a very fine hairline crack on the bone, but he's only assuming and had given medication for anti-inflammation. Hopefully the swell goes down in 3 days, or else, I gotta go for an X-ray!

Sheesh, the last time I did an X-ray was before entering Poly.

Well, hopefully the swelling goes off. I've been told not to rub any ointment as well. There's only slight pain, but it's tolerable.

Apart from that I miss my husband. I've not really seen him or had any chance to talk to him since the summit started and now in my job, I'm equally tied up. Hopefully I can get to go on a holiday soon after all this hassel.

Money's another issue. Have to stop the taxi taking by hook or crook! Have to! Must! I keep telling myself that but I'm not doing it. Gonna put reminders on top of reminders in my phone to remind me. I'm seriously also so shack! Doing literal manual labour due to the oncoming massive projects. I know it's taking a toll on me, but it's inevitable. I'm trying to not take in the stress by sleeping as much as I can, regardless of the late hours I'm coming home. Weekends seem like paradise, but then again, I'm on stand by and I'll need to be coming to office on the weekends. Social life seem to be showing me farewell signs. Proper food intake seem to vanish.

I know I'm thinking about alot of things, and I'm trying to keep my mind clear, trying to is the correct word. Oh well, lets see how things go.

Cheers,

Hello Guys,

How's the going? For me? Oh, for starters, I'm busier than a bee.

Got a few projects coming along and it's already piling onto me. Been reaching home pretty late as well.

I'm :

1. Exhausted
2. Trying to stress less
3. Wanting lots of Cash
4. Wanting a Car
5. Trying on a new routine of make-up (Obviously the last one made me look ghostly!)
6. Starting to do a regular exercise with my "NBF"
7. Trying to eat more vegetables
8. Starting to take my needed dosage of vitamins
9. Missing Dee very the much
10. Wanting a GETAWAY pretty badly

There. That's how I'm doing.

Past few days were more of a blur than anything and going freaking fast. I just remembered telling my colleague "Wow, T.G.I.F" and poof, it's Friday again. Anything new about today? Well yes, I'm gonna slack alittle at work today. On top of that my parents and sis have flown down to Sri Lanka for the weekend and will be back on Monday. Am I gonan miss them?

Of course!!! I'll miss my mum calling me in the morning and checking to see if I took my vitamins, put on my make-up properly, dressed well and also gime me a brief of what happened yesterday with her. I'll miss calling my dad and always asking him where he is so that there might be some chance I can be picked up by him. I'll miss calling my sis for talking nonsense when I'm waiting for a cab or just waiting for something. Yes, I'm gonna miss all three of them for 3 days. Yeah I know I can call them and still talk to them there, but I guess it'll still be different.

I will be staying in my mum's place until they return from their trip. So it'll be my hubby, me, the maid and my dog!

Other than that I'm so missing my husband cos of his busy schedule at work due to the ASEAN Summit. I hardly see him. Even yesterday night, for the 1st time I was so dead tired that I actually slept before he came home around 12 plus. Feel quite bad about not waiting up for him, but I was so darn tired. Woke up in the middle of the night and saw him sleeping next to me ready. I couldn't resist a kiss. He was so sound asleep he didn't even wake up after I actually kissed him hard and hugged him. Guess he's also so worn out. Well, we certainly do need a break soon. Some quality time just between the both of us.

Nothing extraordinary too place much thus, I'll end here. Till my next post.

Cheers,

Tunitha

Sunday, November 11

I've come to realise I've changed from the person I once was to an almost totally different person. I used to take things very lightly and was a carefree girl. I could not get angry no matter how big the issue was. I never fused. I was a girl whom many scolded for being very cool headed and easily being taken advantage of. The world could have falled into pieces and I would still be calmly smiling. I was envied by my cousins for my calm and composed nature. I could release my stress in many clean ways!

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?!

I am no longer this person. I become very very irritated easily. I tend to fuse for trival matters. I've become this less compassionate person who seem to start caring only for myself. I can't seem to find avenues to release stress.

Is it because I'm easily influenced by the surroundings? Or is it because I'm maturing and questioning myself on alot of issues. I don't know. All I know, I'm finding diversified routes in releasing stress. It may be the wrong one, but for the moment, it seems right to me and I'll carry on with it. I'm gonna be darn busy over this month in my job and I seriously need my stress avenues! First and foremost the journey kills me and now the stress levels have increased.

I was a person who never used to get stressed. Well, now I guess things change, people change and I've changed. I've become even more accomodating and terribly moody as well. I don't know if my hormones are changing, or I'm just imagining things, but I know for sure that I need to relax and not get stressed. Well, I'm gonna try, and if it needs me going back to my old ways to relieve it, I don't see what's stopping me.

Cheers,
Tunitha

Tuesday, November 6

Hi Guys,

Been such a long time since I had blogged properly! Let me start off from last Friday!

I had organised my Company's Bowling tournament and we had in on Friday. It was really good. Its been really awhile since I had bowled, but unfortunately I could not really concentrate bowling much as I had to also keep score of the other bowlers as well as to take extra care my beautifully manicured nails(courtesy done by my sister) wouldn't break! Unfortunately, I couldn't save my right thumb. It chipped half the length. Sigh. Anways, I finished around 945pm and got a lift back home from my colleague who was staying at Sembawang.

Once he dropped me off, I rushed up, ate KFC my hubby ordered, changed and got ready to go clubbing :p

We were to check out this new place Nishan's friends have been fanatics off - JEANS. Yeah, it's an Indian Pub, but hey, it was really cool. Beautiful layout concept, nice toilets, big dancefloor and great mix of music, however, the only setback was the crowd. I didn't like it. I found them too unfriendly and edgy! Oh well, that's my opinion. Once the club closed, we made our way home.

Saturday, we woke up at around 12 plus only to find no one at home. My in-laws had gone over to Nishan's cousin's place to help cook for the annual deepavali prayers for the dead. Nishan and I were to go only in the evening. It was a lazy Satuday and we were seriously just bumming. We were even too lazy to go down and have our brunch so I ended up making Fried Mee with chicken nuggets and sausages for a bite. We then left for his cousin's place in the evening. Once the prayers were done, we then headed to Pasir Ris Park (sent by Nishan's cousins) to celebrate one of Nishan's Friend's Birthday - Tau(a.k.a Devaraj)!

When we arrived, almost all his friends were already there. As usual, it was fun being with them. We did not go back home but stayed all through the night till next morning, where Nishan and myself were supposed to go to the cemetry to visit my great-great grandmother. That's right! Great-Great Grandmother. I was 3 when she passed away and I still have a vague memory of her. But it's been 24 years since I saw her and I was quite excited actually. Luckily soem of Nishan's friends were also going to visit people they knew at the cemetry so we hitched a ride with them.

Before reaching, we of course stopped to get flowers and fruits. I remembered she loved to eat seedless grapes. When we reached the cemetry, Nishan and I split up to find her. It really took us very very long to locate her, and whilst walking I was silently calling out to her and asking where she was. I tripped and my handphone fell onto a brown grave nearby and as I picked up my handphone and looked at it, it was my Great Great Grandmama!!! She had heard my call. I then called Nishan and he came over to join me. I won't deny the fact that I teared alot looking at her. She was really special. I was the last great great grandchild she looked after and I was her favourite. I don't know if I was imagining, but from her photo I could see her just looking at me. She was beautiful. She was as how I remembered her to be. We were at her grave for almost half an hour before Nishan's friends joined us, and my husband was so cute. He actually said " Patti, these are my friends, this is Sishya, this is LC and this is Johnathan". By the way, you know what was the best part of the entire day. It was our 1st year Wedding Anniversary! I was so happy to introduce my husband to my Great Great Grandmother on this day. Somehow I felt she gave her blessings unconditionally.

Yeah, so 4th Nov Sunday was my 1st yr Wedding Anniversary. It's come so fast. It feels like only yesterday I got married. After visiting my Great Great Grandma, we hitched a ride back with his friend and dropped on our bed like stones! We slept till about 6pm and then woke up to get ready for the deepavli prayers for the dead this time at my Grandma's place. While doing the prayers I kept smiling at my Great Great Grandma's photo. I was just soooo happy seeing her. At Grandma's place there's always singing. Well, that's because my grandparents like to hear me sing. I won't say I'm a terrific singer, but I've won 1st prize trophies in my time. I almost wanted to join Vasantham Star, but reality hit me! Thus, sang many many songs for my grandparents and then headed home.

I was on EXAM leave yesterday. I'm not gonna comment much on it. Will skip it and come to today!!!! THE BIGGEST SURPRISE I GOT AFTER COMING BACK FROM LUNCH WAS THIS BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET OF LILLIES AND RED SUNFLOWER LOOKING FLOWERS WRAPPED IN A MAROON WRAPPER WITH A SHINY MAROON RIBBON! It was from my husband! These are what the words said inside!!

Dear Dee,

We were having our Honeymoon around this period last year. My Honeymoon has never ended since. Happy 1st yr Wedding Anniversary and more to come.

Lots of Love,
Dee

How sweet is this?!! Below is the Picture of his bouquet!



Isn't it beautiful!? You guys must be wondering what I had gotten him for our Anniversary right?! Well, I knew he'd be busy with the Asean Summit and we won't really have time to celebrate, so after work on Thursday I had booked Jack's Place and we had dinner there to have an early celebration.

Below are the pictures. He was too shy to be in the photo!

This is the small cute cake our regular Jack's Place surprised us with!


This is me with the cake and a cup of tea with his present in the paper back next to me on my right!


This is my present to him! There's a poem I wrote for him and the insides are decorated with real fresh flowers with our wedding reception photo!


Is it nice?! He liked it very much!

Well, that's about all the moment! For now, looking forward to Deepavali! Advance Deepavali wishes to all!!!

Cheers,
Tunitha
