J-emine's reflexionando

I’ve been meaning to blog more since the plunge back into the public platform but with work, gym and family taking a big portion of my time, it does get rather difficult. But still, I want to make the effort and it always been a great way of releasing stress for me. So for peeps that do drop by here, much love to you.

This week, time outside of work has been spent looking at potential apartments (even gym-time had to take a back seat) and wandering around certain neighbourhoods with the fogies. It’s never easy finding a place we like and could envision it being, our home. It’s a time-consuming and tiring process that simply, can’t be rush. Of course, it doesn’t help that we have sold our place (!) but I’m keeping the faith that we will find a place we like (or we’ll just have to rent until we do find a place).

Tonight, we had to give the house -viewing a break and head over to Ah Ma’s (maternal grandma)’s place. She’s our beautiful fighter, despite the many scares and hospitals turning her away. I sat there watching my parents clutch her hands, stroking her face and whispering softly to her. Forced smiles, tears all ready to pour but no, we’ll hold it back because she’s a very blessed 98 year old, adore by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It’s a heart wrenching dilemma to face end- life issues with a dear family member, who’s lived such a long, blessed life. Ah Ma, we all love you very much and all we ask is for a smooth, painless ride along the last leg of this journey.

On a lighter note, there is nothing I enjoy more than ordering some take-away, eating on newspaper-covered coffee-table, whilst watching TV with the fogies. And, tonight was just one of those nights, where we needed to do just that …with nary a care or thought.

Simple but fills my heart with so much warmth.
