Mothers' Day 2012

And tonight the Mothers' Day celebration officially begins!

Thanks to Ah Yan for initiating the movement,

Started with group chatting and efforts of the cousins to set a date, time and place for the past week.

Bought flowers (carnation of course), re-arranged and self "wrapped" them.

Later tonight, all kids of the Chua family will present flowers to their mothers.

Old school. Yes.

But I reckon this is THE bestest way to educate and carry through the tight ties of the family.

This year, Chace and a few of the cousin nephew and nieces will be doing the same. =)

Super super excited! Ohana night!!

Thanks for the memories

Been 12 years, 

Thanks for the memories.

Zero to zero

It's been so since I last blogged and even the update page has changed.
Flew with an "ex-student" a couple of days back and realised how long I've been away from my art, and how people have grown and ultimately, changed.

I said to myself. 2 years break..
But right now, I still can't harness the courage to return to teaching.
Disappointing I know.
But to see my friends on facebook constantaniously bitching about their undeserving students and the monsters they've created definitely raised a few flags.

The number of messages about how I've been missed overwhelms me, even today.

But still, zero courage.

I wish I could produce more wax to burn, with alot more sustainability.
Till the wishes come true,
I guess I'll continue hiding in the aluminum tube for a wee bit more.

Learning to look forward without envying the past has been a tough lesson,
But I'm definitely learning.
As my teaching days distant themselves with time,
I have learnt to work with what I've got now to patch all that I never had when my whole life was engulfed by teaching.

The relationship I adore and yearn so much to build.
A fortress for the future.

I'm getting there, at least it feels like it.
