LIFE BOOK

It's been a long time since I update my blog after moving to Singapore.  Life has been busy with settling down, packing, unpacking, doing registration for my daughter's primary school, cooking, cleaning, washing, waking up early, picking her from school, working...and so on and so forth. Being a mom is a 24 hours job as a teacher, friend, nurse, lecturer, maid, ..... and the list goes on.

Spending time to write my blog, will be the last in my priority list already.  Yes, priority needs to be changed as time goes by.. and it has been changed to spending more time with my daughter.  I love to spend time with her, especially when we do arts & crafts together.  I feel so much relax and happy when we paint a picture together.

After going through a lot of ups and downs in life, I know that we have to appreciate and be happy with what we have in life.  Always thank GOD for whatever we are having and try to make the best out of it.

Wealthy life is not just by having a lot of money but also having a good health and a quality time for yourselves and your family.  Try and live by this code. And you will be a happier and richer person!!

LIFE BOOK  (not sure who is the writer of this but it's a good one to read and follow by us)
