“You can be family even if you don’t have the same blood running through your veins.  Sadly, the vice versa can be true too.  You can have the same blood running through your veins, but it doesn’t make you family.” – Ling Tung

Have been trying to be more positive the last few days…but I think it’s all for “show”.

A friend’s friend’s friends had the same problem as us.  They discovered they both had alpha thalassaemia trait and went for genetic counselling…and then they decided not to have kids because of the risks.  They now have household pets.  I hate animals!  I hate pets!  OH GREAT!!!

Last week, Hubby and I celebrated our official first wedding anniversary by eating peking duck.  We shared one whole duck between the both of us.  It was great.  Sometimes in restaurants, I see couples who sit there in silence.  And it’s not always the “comfortable” silence.  Hopefully, we will never get to that stage!!!

He wanted a printer so we went to choose one after dinner.  As for me, I wanted a piece of writing.  He wrote me a note on a scrap of paper.  It wasn’t a fancy schmancy card…but I still treasured every word.  It means more to me than any gift that one can buy.  I’m a sentimental fool!

Saying that…there’s only 4 more days till I turn 31!!  Shock, horror!  GASP!  How can that be??  I felt so disappointed with myself the other day because I am turning 31 years of age and I haven’t accomplished much in my life.  Well, okay…I know, I did a lot in my twenties – thriving career, bought my first property, travelled and somehow, got married.  But being in my thirties has been rather unfulfilling…  Sigh.  Or am I expecting too much?  Or am I not putting in enough effort?  Job-hunting is fruitless…which, of course, isn’t helped by my chronic back pain.  SIGH!

Have no idea why I can only write when I feel crap.
