Back from a run!

Feels good after a good (though short) run..hehe

Lately, I have been trying to start running... sometimes, I wonder how do full-time stay at home mummies without helpers find the time to exercise. It's been so tough trying to find the time to get a good swim or run. Sometimes, I tell myself I should wake up earlier to run... but haha, I don't always succeed in doing that. Other times, I try to run after the kids go to bed (like tonight) but very often, I find myself too lazy to move haha...guess at the end of the day, it's all about determination and discipline!

When I did not have kids, I was concerned for my health, but not as much as I am now. It's scary hearing about the illnesses going around modern people like us with sedentary lifestyles. For the sake of the children, mummy and daddy must train up!!!!! Daddy has signed up for Standard Chartered Run 21km (although the plan is to run 10km only haha)... what about mummy? :) I want to sign up for a marathon too..but no time to train, that's one...and err...who's going to look after the kiddos during the marathon? :( Can only dream of doing that in my head I guess.

Yeah! 4 August coming... 4th wedding anniversary! :) Hubby and I finally decided we should really scoot out for M-time next tuesday evening and leave the kiddos with my parents and sis. Well, they get to stay overnight somewhere else and we get our M-time.....it's been such a long time since we got to enjoy some proper M-time... ever since Joshua arrived :( Looking forward to that... wanna catch a movie...I haven't done that in a long long while..more than half a year maybe? Deprived huh? haha :) Now, let's pray everything goes well next tuesday!

My work

Just finished a one day trial today...

If I were to stop work altogether.. I will never get to conduct a trial in court again.. never get to apply advocacy skills... never get to experience the 'kick' of going through a trial...

Well.. advocacy is really fun....

And there's something I really enjoy about believing in a case and fighting for it...

Like today..no doubt it's just a "small" case and not a big amount is involved, I enjoyed the process of advocating what I believe is the truth.

God said, to treat big and small cases alike, to do justice to the poor and not favour the rich...

Painful to give it all up I must say...

My great helper :)

Just now, I changed Joshua's diapers before putting him down for a nap.

I left the used diaper on the sofa for a very brief moment, turned around and put Joshua to bed. In less than a minute or maybe a few seconds, i turned back, intending to pick up the used diaper so that I could throw it away, to my surprise, it disappeared! I was in a shock for a moment.. how could something just disappear like that in a matter of seconds.

The next moment, my little darling Candra walked into the room, looking very pleased with herself, and said (in mandarin), "Didi's diaper has been thrown into the dustbin in the kitchen :)"

I was so pleased at that moment and so encouraged by the fact that she took the initiative to throw the diaper into the bin :) She was trying to be helpful.

Well, the paranoid mummy would of course wonder next whether she just threw it around or beside the dustbin and not inside the dustbin... so I went to check.. hehehe.. bingo! She threw it right into the plastic bag in the dustbin...

So yeap! she did a perfect job there! Such a sweet girl isn't she?
