Happy :)

After being through so much, I am beginning to feel that things are going my way! Feel so happy that I need to share all these good things in my life.

• My own house: Finally got a decent queue no. from HDB (102 out of 196 units). 11 applications mind you! I think I deserve queue number 1 lor! Though not at my ideal place, still stuck at Tampines for the next 10 years or so. But at least it is at an affordable rate to us given the exorbitant price of houses in Singapore nowadays. This BTO will be built on a very vibrant part of Tampines. Near a mini town centre where there are alot of kopitiams and there is a big supermarket. An MRT station (Tampines West Station) will be coming up in 2017 which is part of the downtown line. The best part is, it will be completed by third quarter 2014! Just 2 years later! YAY!

• Ideal Childcare: When I thought that my little darling, who is a year-end baby will end up with no school to go (Every school in Tampines is full), and considering that she will be 4 years old next year, my ideal childcare, ELFA called me and said Vera has a space in there! I love that place. After seeing various childcare centres in Tampines I think ELFA is the cleanest and most vibrant. It is not the most expensive in the area (actually very expensive to us - $500 per month after subsidy) and just one road across our place. They have 10 kids with 2 teacher which I think it is the best ratio available. (But yea, I am a very paranoid mother. Kept asking whether I can be around with her or not. Oh well, she is my darling, my life.) *Wonder why Singapore government ask us to have more babies when the resources are limited and so expensive!*

• Bye bye mass: The mass in my spinal cord is no longer apparent. Means that my body is responding to chemo. And I think I have tolerated the chemo relatively well. Not much vomit or loss of appetite. Although I can already feel each chemo is making my body weaker and weaker. But as the doctor mentioned, I am reaching the end of a marathon so being tired is natural. And my doctor is very optimistic of my recovery. I am already planning what to do when I recover (a couple's retreat, a family overseas trip and maybe a mini party celebration). Well, one more chemo to go, I am not gonna let this stupid cancer cells beat me!

As what my hubby always say "When you are down, the only way is UP!"

So, UP UP WE GO!

P/S: I have been loving my bald head so much that I am no longer embarrassed showing my friends or people I meet my bald head. Well, how much longer can I be bald right? After skinning through death, I think being bald is NOTHING. So for people (especially skinny people) if you think you are fat, you are probably not. And confidence and a radiant smile is what makes you shine. By thinking you are fat, you lose that confidence, you lose that self esteem. Blah.
