Overflowing Plates

The last 4 months had been nothing short of intense for me. Work had been inexplicably hectic, and working 12 to 16 hours a day - plus some hours thrown in over the weekends - was the norm for months. Family life had been tremendously eventful as well. Little Bee wrapped up her K2 year with a wonderfully poignant and spectacular graduation concert. There were also plenty of year-end birthday and farewell parties for the little social butterfly. To top it all off, she celebrated her 6th birthday with a fun-filled hip-hop dancing party last weekend!

Big Bee completed her final semester in school with panache - she was really pleased with her examinations' results, and had a marvellous time at her school's final semester fun fair, which I was too busy to help much with. Her voracious appetite for reading remains consistent - she is very much into the fantasy genre now, and had been devouring entire series of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and the Belgariad swiftly. She is eyeing The Lord of the Rings series next. She is fast becoming a mature young lady, and is becoming more of my pal and companion!

These few months, I couldn't help but think that life is truly all-consuming. Exhausting, yes. But also filled with so much love and blessings from this beautiful family I am blessed with. The light is shimmering brighter from the end of a dark tunnel...and I am definitely looking forward to a restful and rejuvenating holiday season soon!

Expect lots of back-dated entries from now on!
