Piercing of ears!

Yesterday was 观音旦, it was decided 1-2 wks ago that we shall bring Rachel (aka vain pot) to pierce her ears. It was hubby who insisted that Rachel can only do it on 观音旦! Haha... this "uncle" hor....
I forgotten all abt it as I was busy with Zyon's exams... Until yesterday evening at my mil's house, my mil reminded me. These 1-2 wks we have been preparing her and actually she was the one who requested it! As some of you may have knew, this is the 2nd time she pierced her ears.
Duringthe process, someone dare not see and turned his/her face away. Who was that? ANyone can guess? hahaha...
It was hubby! Can't stand him! I didn't realised it till he confessed to me after that! Hahaha... He even say that we women, can bear to pierce the ears jus because we want ourselves to be pretty!
Did Rachel cry? No she didn't! She was bearing with the pain for a while and after that she was ok. The young shop attendants each took one side and they pierced together at the count of 3! This greatly reduced her fear.
Vainpot finally get what she wanted... Hopefully her new "holes" will be fine after 2 wks... cos the previous time when she did (Jul 2005), the holes closed after 2 weeks ...

Relationships ...

Relationships are very very wonderful and cannot be explained. R/ship is a never-ending coaster ride.
It also depends which point of view u r in.
Whether you are the guy? the gal? the guy's frens? the gal's frens? the guy's family? the gal's family? It also matters whether u r married or not.
As a daughter-in-law, son-in-law, things are difft. Not easy to adapt to each other's family. From simple things like eating habits, way of arranging things at home, etc etc.
We must also learn to let go... We need space of our own when we have our partner. Similarly, pple ard us who are attached/married needs to have time of their own too! We can't expect the usual turnout during gatherings... We can no longer expect pple ard us to be free whenever we expect them to be.
I myself can't afford to spend all my weekends with my relatives as we used to be, before marriage. I would luv to! But family commitments, frens commitments are way too many! We jus got to prioritise. Hence, I treasured every dinners or "outings" I have with my relatives... Although it is not as frequent as it used to be, the quality is getting better!
Luckily, hubby understands that and is quite supportive :)
R/ship with hubby is ever-changing... We encounter difft phases in our life and jus got to adapt cos r/ship is a never-ending coaster ride!
Relationship is a committment. We jus to need keep things going on! If it becomes flat, find ways to re-kindle that little sparkle hidden beneath! We need that trigger, regardless of how many days/months/yrs we are together, regardless married or not...
If you don't have the slightest idea of that trigger, talk to the pple closest ard you, they will surely give u some ideas!

Feeling down...

All of the sudden, i start to feel down.... As for the reason, I can't blog it down here... Shld I keep a "secret" blog??? Maybe I shld jus start one... hmmm...
Work-wise, I have been doing emails *again* since beginning of the month as my colleague has other stuffs to do. Supposed to cover her for one month before I proceed for the annual project. In addition, will be taking 2-3 days leave next wk.
However, after some discussions, we need to start earlier. From the 4th wk of OCt instead. Highlighted for coverage to start earlier but till now, no confirmed news yet... wait n wait... as usual. We can learn a lot of stuffs when dealing with emails. BUT.... some emails are jus too bo liao... wasting taxpayers' money in nation building...... haiz....
Home-wise, my own dad jus called me, to go for his annual RC dinner cum ge tai. I rejected him. I hate ge-tais! arghhh.... Last yr was a torture but of cos, I dare not tell him. And this yr, I rejected him.... guilty of cos.... but.... I really cannot take it! Haiz.... apologised to him and told him we will visit him instead... guilty...
