Don't let go...

My fellow human dwellers of the earth;
Is the current economic situation hogging your mind, bringing your spirit down?
Are you feeling hopeless and wished you have more?
I am thankful that I can breathe easily now.
My fellow human dwellers of the earth;
Is the cold and unfriendly world giving you shivers, tearing your heart apart?
Do you think the world has no more hope?
I am thankful that I can see clearer now.
There are many things that could happen to me any minute now,
But I am thankful I am still able to source my own supply/happiness.
Things may look gloom,
But even if there is just a glimmer of hope,
Don't let go...

The incidents in China is heartbreaking, and at the same time inspiring. Thank you for giving me hope. May you be well and happy..

Baby 105 : Ah... I think I am getting it!

Its the head. Doc says too late to take the whole pic as the baby is really big now. Ow...
After all the knocks and turns, I now feel better. Maybe I am in my second trimester, which is supposed to be the most comfortable period of the entire pregnancy, so I feel less strain. Or maybe the training worked so well that it already forms part of my life now. I am simply used to asking Ben "Can I eat this? / Can I do this?". I am also more used to having people opening doors for me and offering me to go first.
Gosh.. Come to think of it, now I know how my mom managed to wake up early in the morning, be so very patient with our antics and remain strong. Well, nowadays, I tend to wake up 4 or 5 in the morning. Not by choice, but I get so tired that I would sleep early and I couldn't shut my eyes after 7 hours of sleep. Funny, but I used that time to cook up some cakes and bread in the morning so that Ben could bring it to work.

And how can I not develop patience when I am so used to people bugging me with unwanted queries, advice and meddling. I mean, what's the point of getting upset when you know that deep down they really really meant good (they just don't realise how annoying they are :P).

And now that you know a life depended on you. You realise that you are not living for yourself anymore.

Nothing is going to bring me down for someone is looking up on me. I love you too!
