Lau Gin Na: It's All In The Name

I was feeling a little worn out so thoughtful Ethan insisted that I should go lie down. He decided to grab his Samsung Galaxy Tab A to play me a relaxing song on YouTube. "To help you rest," he says. How sweet. ☺️ I was wondering which song he would choose and half expected to hear Intentions from the speakers cos he's had #BieberFever for awhile now – #kidsthesedays πŸ˜… – but to my surprise, he picked this one:


   


"Goodnight to you. Goodnight to me.
Now close your eyes and go to sleep.
Goodnight. Sleep tight. Sweet dreams tonight.
Goodnight. I love you."


I was familiar with this video and it totally brought back memories of days gone by. The boys probably don't remember it by now but I used to play them this video when they were younger. Nostalgic, I started singing along to the relaxing tune and this conversation ensued...


JJ: Wait. What? You know this song?!?

Pam Song: *dramatically* I know ALLL the songs, Baby.

JJ: *eyes wide like saucers* What?!?

Pam Song: *matter-of-fact tone* That’s why I’m called Pam Song ma.

JJ: *thoughtfully* Ohhhh!!

Pam Song: πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


I may not have gotten any rest,
but I definitely felt better after this. ❤️

How Old Are You And Yours?

So there I am, in the car, on the way to a late breakfast with the kids, when out of the blue, I hear this conversation coming from the backseat...


JJ: Kor Kor, how old is your bird-bird?

JZ: ??? (At a lost for words. πŸ˜…)

JJ: *announces proudly* Because mine is 5 years old.


LOL! Why my son can think of such things wan??

πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

But you've gotta give it to the 5-year-old
and his 5-year-old logic la. He's right. It's 5. πŸ˜‚

Skinnier Yet Fatter

I gained 2 kilos of weight fat during my 4 months of chemotherapy and then naturally lost it all again after chemo ended. I assume it's because I slept a lot more than usual during my chemo days because of the discomfort and lethargy. #thestruggleisreal 


Being awake for long periods of time during the first and second weeks of chemo was extremely taxing. It took so much effort because I couldn't eat properly, and just staying alive as the drugs killed everything else within me, had already zapped 90% of my energy. Boy, am I glad those days are over!


Anyhoo, weight-wise, I've been back to my normal weight of 45kg for a few months now. My clothes fit again, and in fact, some of my bottoms are a little looser than I'd like. So the only thing I don't understand is this:




WHY IS MY RING FINGER STILL SO FAT
THAT MY RINGS NO LONGER FIT?? πŸ€”

New In RMCO Fashion

Put that mask on 😷 and play up whatever else
people can see – i.e. eyes πŸ‘️ and earsπŸ‘‚!


Me in my super comfortable
NORWEX face mask in Pink Opal.


Damn semangat with the eyeliner today so must take picture a bit. Also my first time putting on earrings again since goodness knows when. Haha. I bought this jewellery set the week after my 6th and last chemo. Decided to get something pink to celebrate surviving breast cancer and completing breast cancer chemo. Immunotherapy still ongoing until now but... ah, well. We'll celebrate that some way, some how, some day later, too. πŸ₯³ Have a great Sunday!
