Somethings's Gotta Give

So, can liking or even love be based on looks alone? When i'm 56 years old and still single, if a hot, cute thirty something doctor comes along and falls madly in love with me, and i for no particular reason, choose him and not a four-year-older than me man, then i probably may have fallen for the good looks of the young doctor. But what about that young doctor? Well...ahhem, he probably choose me and not some sweet-looking girl his age because he must have think me is the hottest woman in the world loh, what else can that be right?


Or if i'm one of the richest women in the world, haha :) then i'm sure you peeps will probably say the young doctor falls for my golds and diamonds, stocks and shares. How boring, so predictable!


May I ask then, what do you look for when qualifying 'the one'? Are looks and money really that important?


I had the pleasure of giving my qualifications to Lynn over lunch last Friday. What started the conversation was Mommy Al telling us how Champion asked a certain Mr. Tan to source for 'candidates' for me! And he told Mr. Tan "not too ugly" ya. Champion is so cute lah, i think he is secretly worried i will just work and work and stay single my whole life. And i know for certain, he shared this concern with my current CIO when she happened to be in town last August.


What exactly am i looking for in a 'mate'. About two years ago, i wrote this entry:

And, i still maintain my stand. I'm looking for someone who can make me laugh, no matter he is twenty years younger or twenty years older, no matter he looks like Mr. Bean or Mr. Reeves. Physical 'looks' are subjective. Your trash could be my treasure ;p


But that person must be able to support himself. I don't need him to support me or Shane but of course, if he can support both of us, why not right? I promise to be a good, obedient stay-home wife/mum and cook all his favourite dishes at mealtimes. Haha.


If you know someone who is funny and is able to support himself, please email me at wei1616@gmail.com. Hmmm, but i can't promise i will reply though ;p

We made some bookmarks together last week, with pictures we found on the internet. Everyday at home now is very challenging. It's like 'racing against time' and i know it's gonna stay this way for a long time to come.


Shane goes Primary One and so is his Mommy. Shane does his homework every nite, so does his Mommy. Shane goes to bed early but not Mommy. Mommy has to pack school books for the next day, wash school shirt, socks and shoes (still can't understand why the school shoes can get so dirty after only ONE day!) and ironing as well.


Please tell me, who is the one going Primary school these days?

A New Year, A New Begining

Going for his haircut on NYE.

At least for Shane, it is definitely a new beginning, a new chapter in his life. Primary school life. Shane has reached a new milestone.


I get teary easily, especially when Shane is involved. Watching him joining his class queue last Friday during the school orientation made me teary. Seeing him dressed up this morning in his school uniform made me teary. Sending him to school and watched him go up the staircase leading to a room far from me, where parents were barred - made me teary. Watching him from afar during his break time, watching him eating his food, talking to his friends, washing his tender hands and joining back the queue after the break made me teary. Waving to him when he was on the second storey on his way back to his class, made me teary for the last time today. WE have made it this far. It's also an achievement for me, for i can tell you, it's not easy.


Looking back at my life is like watching a TVB long-running drama except i don't have a wicked step-mother nor ex mother-in-law who snatched away my baby son and made everyone weepy. I always wanted to be a mother but I never imagined myself to walk this path all by myself, let alone walked this far with Shane. Now young Shane is in Primary One. He told me that he's now a young man, no longer a baby.


And this young man has certainly made me proud, in many ways and not just once. Growing up without a constant male influence has somehow turned him into a mini-me, except of course, Shane is much smarter and cuter. And my biggest worry now is whether does he know how to use the boys' toilet in school!


I once wrote, We have come a long way. Life with him is ever so enriching and entertaining. He has been through so much with me. For his tender young age, he is mature in a way. Shane, the Star of my life. Twinkling in the darkest moment, like a mini torch guiding my way through. I can’t imagine my life without him anymore. He shares everything i have, my love, my joy, my fears and my tears.


Today, i love him more than yesterday. And tomorrow, I will love him even much more than today. My love for him is growing more and more each day, to the point that i want to hold him like this forever, not doing anything, not going anywhere, just holding him close to my heart.


I had a fleeting moment of sympathy for his father, the man who has never known what true love is, the man who has never heard his child's first cry nor his first word. The man who doesn't really know how to love a child. The man who has never gave himself a chance to experience his child's great love. The man who missed his child's many first time. No matter who's right and who's wrong, i am happy with the way my life turned out to be. I'm contented with what i have because Shane completes me.

@ break time.

A happy Shane after a day in school.

Priceless

Bumming Around

Lack of updates? Nay, that's just me, the procrastinator who currently happens to be the laziest bummer waiting for Christmas to come.

Taking a break from work, three weeks starting from Dec 17th. Slept late and woke up late everyday. Eat lunch. Shopping. Watch movies at Golden Village. Watch HBO @ home. Watch National Geographic. Watch DVDs with Shane. Play Ben-10 on the computer with Shane. Watch Travel & Living. Watck K-dramas. Eat Dinner. Watch more K-dramas on the cable. Basically wasting my time away. Boredom? No. Pure Bliss i would say. For the past six years, I hardly take any time off for more than three days in a row. And now, i'm taking three weeks straight!! Ahh.. what a joy. And while i have so much time now, i'm gonna hatch some plots to marry the richest man in town so that i can do this for the rest of my life!! Hahaha.

Yes, i have not forgotten about sharing my party pics. Had a wonderful time at the party of the year. Every year, people constantly surprise me. And this year is the best, naturally coz i'm part of the 'Passionate Party Planners' :)

We did things slightly differrent this year. Had 'A RRAtatouille Affair' in the morning and of course our 'RRAcsar Nite' in the evening. To share with you, our 'RRatatouille Affair' was a cooking session in Corriander Leaf and it was real fun. But as planners, i didn't get to cook but i had fun watching! And i had another idea for a party next year June, provided Champion gives me the budget lah.

The party at nite was at Pierside Kitchen. I was disappointed with the level of service at Pierside and I would discourage anyone who wanted to organise a party of more than 40pax there. They are not just not ready to handle that many people. But overall, i had a great time there coz we had a very good emcee and DJ and plus of course, three very gorgeous party planners! :)

This year, the party planners organised a make-up artiste ;p

He's really very good. Rick Yang (contact: 9856 6866). He will come to your place, do your make-up and hair and he did a very good job for the three of us. Although i'm not used to having thick make-up and felt the urge to wash it away, but with Karen and Lynn's reassurance, i'm soon in love with my new 'face'!

My most sexy picture..haha, no??

Yay, that's right, best party in town!!

And little Shane did his part for Mommy's party. I filmed him singing some songs, most he heard for the first time. I'm so proud of him!! Here's his segment and tell me how many songs you guessed correctly!!

Merry Christmas to all!

From My Random Folder

I'm beginning to fall in love (all over again) with blogspot. Its redesigned menu is a breeze to use :) and it now has an autosave feature!! I will never have to worry about losing my entry before saving it officially!! Although i'm not a stranger in IT, but web design is not my forte. Having said that, i may get some professional help in getting my own website done and this website is what i have long been wanting to have. No, it's not a website for myself but rather, a website showcasing my handmade accessories.

If you have been visiting my moblog, you would have read that i was in Shanghai in July. Not really an exciting month to be there coz it was extremely hot, as if you were standing right outside a heated oven! Was there for work and was lucky to stay at the Grand Hyatt Jin Mao (Pudong) where my office is.

The constant traveling and eating has a bad effect on me - i have put on wanted pounds, so i am currently making my own salad for dinner at home:

Getting Excited!

Shane is starting school next year and i'm really getting very excited for him. Bought him some new stationery and started labeling them all with the new label machine, bought specially for this new activity of mine. I tagged everything, including his colour pencils. Am i too free or what?? :)

Me & My Younger Brother ;p

Haha...okay, just a little joke. Btw. i'm really upset with my camera. You know, i took loads of pics when i was in Tokyo with Shane. When i returned, i downloaded them to my pc but i accidentally erased all the pics away in my memory stick halfway through the downloads... so i'm left with just half of the pics. I'm really very upset now :(

Re-Open?

Enjoy Part One of our Disney Adventure! :)

oh, hello!

gosh, we are in 2007 now, aren't we?

i swear, 2006 literally flew off my very own eyes. why can't it linger on a wee bit more? there're so much i wanna do and wanna complete. so it's true then, time waits for no man. so hopefully for 2007, we all learnt from the mistakes we made in 2006 and which i have no doubt all of you will achieve great things in 2007.

i have one wish, no make it two, for this new 2007. but nope, i won't be tellling you here =)

but i'm very happy and contented right now.

on btw, some of you wrote to me asking me why i hardly update this site? well, i created this site out of pure interest in trying my hands at html but realised, it's not that simple after all. blogspot frustrate me a lot with its blog editor. so i went back to my usual site @ http://shanewei.moblog.com.sg

so for more lunch time reading materials, hop over there!
