我不但一口气去了好几个国家度假,也一尝独自散心的滋味。

第一次独自散心 - 步步惊心之旅(北京)


夏天炎热的台湾VS初春清爽的台湾

Summer in Taiwan with Laogong in June 2013! 

Early Spring Girly Taiwan trip with Yvonne in Feb 2014!


Lots of Staycation in Malaysia

Cold December at Genting in Dec 2013!

Staycation in KSL in Feb 2014!

其他还包括拔掉了让我牙痛得进A&E的4颗智慧牙

哈哈!对了!还有Nov 2013家里发生的HFMD outbreak - 连续3个人被可怕的病毒缠身!还有最近家里也同时有3个人中水痘!Yes! 我终于在35前生了水痘!现在不用怕80岁才中水痘!哈哈哈!

迎接充满希望的35

虽然2014年一开始就有很多不愉快的事情发生。但是,我一直坚信这些是对我的磨练。只有通过磨练才可以变成更有能力的人。

虽然有时难免会问自己是不是一直在浪费时间与命运做无谓的抵抗。有时还会变得很沮丧,很无助。可是我坚信只要不放弃,总有一天会找到属于自己的一片天。或许我在等的那个贵人,早已经出现了!

新的一岁里,我希望得到的就是把眼前的希望变成实践的可能。

我要继续做青春永驻的辣妈!

我要学会更惜福!

我要多学一技之长!虽然还没想到学什么,但我可以学缝纫、烹饪、烘烤等等,甚至回去学校读个硕士。

我想学会放下过去不开心的童年,只向往充满希望的未来。


我也想早日找到自己该走的路,然后不顾一切地走下去。

Last but not least, 我希望我身边的人都可以健健康康,开开心心。单身的朋友都可以有情人总成眷属!哈哈哈!最好另一半可以闪电求婚,在我36前都步入如礼堂!:P

倒数 35 - 惜福

看着《阁楼上的王子》有个美满的结局,我的心里很是开心。希望《步步惊情》的结局也是美满幸福的。。。

我始终相信只要遇到对的人,即使今世无缘在一起,数千年后他们依然会不期而遇,依然会爱上对方。

你一定觉得“相信真爱”从一个快35岁,又为人母亲的我口中说出,有点可笑。可是,“真爱”并没有年龄限制。青涩少年可以挂在嘴边的“真爱”,同样可以浮现在年迈的恩爱夫妻身上。

很久以前我是个很开心、很单纯的女孩。我一心希望遇见一个真心喜欢我、可以包容我的坏,又可以让我的好更加好的人。我很庆幸我21岁那年,就遇见了他。我们很快乐地在彼此的生命里留下美丽、重要的回忆。



可是,这几年我发觉自己失去了以前的开朗,失去了以前的自信,失去以前对前景的向往。我发现自己被现实中的考验压得透不过气,压得失去了自己。

因为种种原因,我变得不爱表达心里的真心话,变得有点忧郁,变得有点自卑。刚开始我还以为是因为自己身材走样,可是当自己瘦瘦下来后,得到的开心竟然是很短暂的。那时,我知道是这些年的压抑改变了我。

或许很多人会说,在社会打滚那么多年,失去过往的单纯本来就是天经地义的。或许这是人生中应该经历过的,我应该接受现实。我就是接受了现实才变得不开心的呀!难道为了生活,我们就一定要过得没有自我吗?我就不相信拥有自我,就没法生存。虽然努力打滚,换来不错的工资和生活水平。但是为了这些肤浅的一切放弃自我,值得吗?

我曾经很在乎别人的眼光,曾经一心想要符合普遍民众的观点 (conventional thinking)。一心想像平常人一样,过着平常的生活。我记得自己以前很忌讳谈我曾经重考过A水准,我也不喜欢谈我和老公的年龄差距。

可是现在的我却觉得,或许我本来就该拥有不平常的生活、不平常的一切。拥有与众不同的生活,并没有什么可耻呀。或许只有不平常的人才可以拥有不平常的生活?呵呵!我开始自恋啦!

前阵子,我不开心很负气的时候,我会怨天尤人,觉得自己怀才不遇,觉得自己是个倒霉的人。我也曾向朋友埋怨、为什么快35的我,还一事无成。

可是近日,我开始学会惜福。想想在坠机和沉船事故里罹难的乘客与乘客的家属,我想我太太太幸福了。我不但可以和喜欢的老公相守结婚,还可以有两个可爱的宝贝,我们更有能力买自己的房子和供一辆车。

即使现在事业无成又怎样?所谓行行出状元,只要心爱的人时时在我身边,永远对我有信心,我想有一天我一定会有自己的一片天。KFC的创办人可是到了65岁才建立自己的事业。我现在还比他年轻30岁哦!哈哈!

生痘痘的这段日子,两个可爱宝贝不但没避开我,反而很开心我不用上班。有他们靠在自己身边,我想天塌下来,我都可以顶得住。有他们在我身边,即使全世界认为我一文不值又怎样?他们觉得我是他们心中number one的妈妈就够了。他们要的不是富裕的生活或名牌托儿所,而是妈妈时时刻刻可以拨出时间和精神陪伴他们。

从两个宝贝的身上,我学会了如何重新衡量自己的价值。谢谢宝贝!


这几天下来,我坚信,现在我身边的每个人在我的前世里也是我生命里很重要的人。因为他们曾经对我很重要,所以经过轮回转世,他们又再次以不同的身份出现在我身边。

所以我一定要珍惜他们在我生命中的每一天。其他无谓的又不懂得珍惜我的人,就让他们继续当我生命里的过客吧!

*Cries* Another week without Sunshine

Had to go for doctor's review today because I noticed some pox hadn't started drying up yet.

As I sat in the clinic, I noticed many other patients coughing and looking psle. One was even vomiting into a plastic bag. I tried to cheer myself up by thinking that my germs should be the most potent, so I shouldn't be 'afraid' of their germs. I never really like going to the clinic or hospital. Not that I am afraid of eating medicine. I just don't like to be in places which I can sense a gloomy atmosphere. To me, hospitals and clinics have a gloomy atmosphere. 

True enough, the doctor gave me a gloomy news. Sigh.. It will be another week with no sunshine :( 

James and Jamie had been stuck at home for a number of weekends due to Jamie's chicken pox then mine... I hope this week will pass soon so that I can bring them out for fresh air soon!

痘痘无所不在 - 第九天

前两天看见脸上痘痘开始结痂的时候很开心,还以为很快所有的痘痘也会跟着结痂。哪里知道到了第九天我身上的痘痘还大大实实的。怎么办?!

不怕不怕!还有三天嘛!三天里很多事会发生 哦!可能到时全都好了?嗯,就这样,乐观点!

我想我是个天生的工作狂吧?因为我并不太享受这几天的休息,也常常希望自己也在公司里和大家一起奋斗着。不过,我当然也很开心这几天和小王子的很多的互动。

这个开心果,我明明就一直避着他,他却死命靠过来。平时我很喜欢亲他的小脸小嘴,但生痘痘后就只亲他的小脸。哪知道他竟以为我少爱他了,就整张嘴死命贴过来,强吻我的嘴!哈哈,然后他就羞涩地笑了笑。

你赢了,我可爱贴心的小王子!


昨天小王子还赖皮撒娇,硬要我哄他才肯安详地睡在我身旁。顿时,我突然有点想当住家妈妈了!可是我却也知道自己不是个称职的住家妈妈;一个人关在房子里的我也容易发闷、胡思乱想,这么一来可能会很快就变成可怕又烦人的黄脸婆!我想我还是继续工作吧!呵呵!

小公主也不落弟弟后。她在自己还在康复的期间,硬要充当我的贴身小护士,跟东又跟西,真的很有心。谢谢你了,小公主!


看着我的两个宝贝,我时时都告诉自己,可以看着自己的孩子慢慢长大,变成有用的人才是最幸福的。其他的其实真的不重要。该释怀的,还是要学会let it go。。。

这个连小公主都懂的,我怎么不明白呢?其实有时傻傻的,吃点亏真的无所谓吧?有时可能因此失去不好的、不该属于我的,但是同时却也可以获得更好的、更适合我的。。。

痘痘无所不在 - 第三天

我想痘痘应该找不到地方长了吧?

我这几天精神状态时好时坏;成天昏昏欲睡,十分辛苦难受。昨晚更是发了场高烧,全身颤抖不止。还好有老公耐心呵护,才平安度过。

生了这场病让我了解,到底谁才是真正关心我的人。生了病后好多人都自然地把我当病菌避得远远的,可是昨天早上却有位住在附近的朋友前来探望,还带来爱心早餐 - Sin Ming Road 的酿豆腐。受到意料之外的关爱让我倍感受宠若惊。

也很感动家婆今天七早八早就去巴杀帮我买 water chestnut 和竹庶煮给我喝,又和女佣相处得很融洽。这让我相信我之前真的想太多了。我想这为从此在家婆这里长期住下种下了定心丸。

希望接下来的几天,精神会好一点,可以做点工,整理一下东西。

痘痘无所不在 - 第二天

是啦!我还以为Jamie的水痘康复后,我就算逃过多一劫了!哪里知道我还是中了!

哭!

而且痘痘真的是无所不在!身体、颈项、脸部,甚至头皮都长了痘痘!太不舒服了!又痒又有点恶心的感觉。

或许这就是为什么医生配给我的药会让我昏昏欲睡一整天。因为睡着了,就不能抓痒了!哈哈!

数一数几颗痘痘?不要啦!等一下越数越多怎么办?!

今天本来是要参加一周年庆祝会和部门的烧烤会的。可是因为出水痘而没法参加。

哭!

不过也没办法。

或许是天意吧!不然为什么两个星期下来,就现在才中?

希望今天大家玩得愉快!

我会好好保重的!

10天很快就过了!

边玩《宫廷计》, 边倒数《步步惊心2》

倒数7天!

4月22日是所有《步步惊心》迷的大日子!如果还不知道是什么大日子的话,一定要翻阅我的脸书/面簿哦!https://www.facebook.com/jolene.koh.54/posts/10200703063657716

是的!!!

再过7天,《步步惊心2》之《步步惊情》即将登场。到时记得锁定您喜欢的Apps下载精彩的连戏剧哦!

虽然剧还没播,我已经大概知道剧情的走向,但是看着现实中已是恩爱情侣的四爷与若曦,我的心难免些许兴奋。在为他们感到开心的当儿,也希望从剧里看出他们爱情萌芽的蛛丝马迹。

就如四爷吴奇隆自己说的,终于等到了!他仿佛在暗叹自己终于等到了想等的人。



就在等待的当儿,我在Apps Store 里瞄到这个看起来和玩起来都很有feel的iPhone / iPad 中文游戏 - 《宫廷计》。

从游戏的名称就可以知道这是《步步惊心》加 《甄嬛传》 加 《深宫谍影》加 《金枝玉叶》等古装宫廷剧的结晶品。

是的!光看游戏介绍r就很有feel了!主角可是因故穿越至不明朝代哦!故事会依照你的人物选择而演变成不同的剧情。


您也可以选择这两位貌似甄妃与若曦的游戏人物,幻想自己在深宫里争颜夺丽。


游戏目标? 

看看游戏的cover,答案其实很明显就是成为屹立不倒的皇贵妃。


游戏一开始您必须选择您想用的:
- 人物专长, 如:学士,武士, 膳食, 善乐。
- 人物名字
- 人物样貌

开始时我们长这样。。。普普通通的。 

当您慢慢升级,加上银两慢慢累积后,就可以选择更漂亮的服装!


现在我的游戏人物官八品,长这样。。。


很美很煞吧!呵呵!

进入了游戏,会看见皇宫地图

我的游戏人物是位官八品的学士宫女司马菡。


让我带您游皇宫吧!

第一站,练习坊

在这里您练习:
- 马术增加体质
- 舞蹈增加灵巧
- 礼仪增加交际
- 诗书增加智力








第二站, 紫宸殿。到这里可以和皇上交谈。



累积了经验后,可以到宣政殿申请晋升官品。

官品越高可以获得的俸禄越高;也可以装备指数比较高的服装;还可以学习较高的武功、绝技才可以打败“敌人”。



当然众佳丽的最终的目标就是当不了皇后也要当个贵妃。哈哈!


如果要自制丹药之类的物品,可以收集所需的物品到内务府去制作。


银两用完了可以到杂役房打工。


不知道怎么玩?可以翻查攻略页哦!







游戏很不错吧?那么就快点下载游戏,加入这场女人的战争吧!

娘娘千岁,千岁,千千岁!

Chicken Pox in the house!

Hmmm.. I didn't know kids can still be so energetic when they are down with chicken pox. Coz I never had it myself before.

Not sure if I have the immunity (touch wood) or I am just lucky (likely). I didn't get infected by my brother many years back when he had chicken pox. Until today, I am still 'okay'. 

I thought hfmd had knocked on my door again last Friday when my helper called me, to say that Jamie had 'watery spots' all over her body. My helper did not have a very good experience with hfmd since the last outbreak in the house in Nov 2013. Many things had to be thrown away because they were made of fabric. Those we did not throw away had to be washed and sterilized. Little James was still an infant with low immunity. The virus did not spare him nor kind to him. My helper had sleepless nights together with my poor boy. 

Jamie, who was the virus carrier, seemed to live well with the hfmd virus throughout the quarantine period. And this round, she being the chicken pox virus carrier, still seemed all cheery and happy everyday. Likely she felt that her 'wish' was granted and she did not need to go to school for 14 days. Oops...

But I don't think she dislikes to study or to do writing. Maybe she is just like me, because I noticed she likes to have someone to sit with her when she does her writing. See how diligent and cheerful she looks! I loved having my mother sits with me when I did my homework too!




The virus only grew a few big blisters on her waist area and very mild ones on her face, 1 arm and 1 leg. She was actually okay with it and was very obedient when I told her not to scratch. It was the first time she allowed us to apply cream/lotion on her body and face. I guess she had reached the age where she knows what I mean by "if you scratch you won't look pretty anymore. In order not to scratch, you have to apply the lotion". She seemed to have grown up overnight due to chicken pox. 

The only thing she didn't like about the virus, was that I like to tease her that she looked like Santa Clause when I applied calamine lotion (white) on her face. She would go "Mummy, I am not Santa Clause. He is an old man who gives out presents during Xmas day." Hehehe...

James was spared as of now. No symptom yet but we are having mixed feelings whether to pray or not pray that he gets infected. Coz afterall, we should get chicken pox once in our lifetime. If he missed this round, he might get it during his PSLE or Os or As or Uni exams. I remember I was really worried I get it during my two pregnancies. Thanks goodness I didn't! Because all the horror stories of those who did, are horrifying. 

However, he is not as mature and sensible as Jamie at his age. He might just go crazy and scratch his face and body intensively. Arghh.. Then I will be so sad to see his pretty little face with scars. 

Well, I decided to let nature takes it's course. See if James and I will eventually get infected. If we don't, we have to count our blessings that the virus will continue to 'forget' our existence. If we do, we will be happy becoz we finally get our chance and can 'get over with it'. 

Let's see we escape this round...
