Hey 2022! Thanks 2021 for all everything (happiness and pain)~

Recap and time for review..

2021 resolutions:

- Be healthy & exercise regularly (failed terribly, did not move at all)
- Love my little happy family (checked)
- Spend more time with grandma, 3.1 and monsters (ah ma left us in 2021.. T.T) 
- Be a great and hot mummy (checked)
- Get more sleep and some me-time whenever possible (nah, i have been chasing lots of drama and documentaries)
- Earn more $$$ and find a new & better job (better job checked)
- Be and love myself (checked)
- Learn to be a lovely wife and awesome mummy at the same time (50% i guessed..)
- 1 Vacation with my little family (covid-19 is a pain in the ass, managed 2 staycations)
- Raise my 2 little girls to be wonderful ladies (work in progress)

2021 really taught me that Covid-19 existed for real as it took Ah ma away from us on 30th Sep.. I hope Ah ma met Mummy in heaven and hope they know that we will always keep them in our hearts. Contagious diseases can reveal the true connections between people.. not something I dun comprehend but maybe sometimes I chose to give some benefit of doubts.. Ultimately, I am really glad I have a great family and handful of bffs.. whom I can rely on come what may.. 

Sometimes I wonder, how much time do I have left? As I dwell on, I wanna treasure every moment and second I have with my loved ones. I will continue to plan for the future but I will give the best to them in every way I can.. Life is fragile and unpredictable.. should we huddle up and worry if the sky is gonna fall or we start hurdling obstacles in life till the last day of our lives? This is debatable for sure.. For me, I will take some calculated risks in exchange for some fun and laughter on my love ones' faces. No regrets.

Alright.. time for new resolutions this year..

Once again.. Death came knocking on our door..

Been 12 days since Ah ma left us.. my heart sank on that Friday when I tested her positive for Covid-19. I agreed that it's a disaster before it really hits us.. but now.. it's not just a disaster.. It's a nightmare we cant wake up from.. She's there... playing sparkles with Charlotte on Mid-autumn Festival night.. Smiling..  

Isolation is a word which she cant comprehend.. even when she s still walking.. she had us.. but on her death bed.. nobody could be near.. we are miles away.. on the screen.. some even just 2 doors away.. yet she needed us the most.. how could we? 

I have been given a second chance.. yet i did not do anything right.. so I should be punish for the rest of my life.. I'm sorry.. you did nothing wrong to deserve this disease..

Imy

I love you so much like you always love me, no matter what..

Thanks for being my first teacher and bringing me up.. thanks for telling me it s ok to look like myself.. thanks for telling me I deserve to be loved and have the ability to love.. thanks for loving my girls.. Thanks for being my ah ma for 36 years.. 

I hope you are with mummy now.. in a better place.. 

I wanna be your daughter and grand daughter again.. 很久很久的那种。
