peace and quiet at last. I've been loving the quiet time in the day when Charlotte's in school and the quiet time at night when she's asleep. Staring into space just seems pretty relaxing to me these days. I don't sleep at the same time with her but I will just lay down beside her and pretend to sleep hah. Der has been working at nights for the past few nights and I enjoy being "alone" in the house. Maybe coz I can just be quiet and do whatever I want to without anyone bothering me. Of course this means after Charlotte goes to bed.
I also particularly like working out in the gym. It takes my mind off disturbing thoughts. I cannot run on the treadmill like before but I would brisk walk for at least 45 mins with an incline and do some weights thereafter. Ever since I got back from Singapore, I've been seeking solace in the gym for longer hours.
Since we got back, we did try to soak up some of the CNY atmosphere here in LA. We decorated the house a little.
While der misses CNY celebrations in Sin, I on the other hand am super glad we didn't go through it. I had such a bad experience with all the visitation on his side, I shudder at the thought. Of course it means missing my side of the celebration but I am ready to forgo it. For the past few days, whenever der FT his mum at midnight sin time and I see her still at some CNY visitation with all the gambling going on, I'm sooooo glad I'm not in Sin. I'm sure Charlotte would enjoy all the visitations because it means play all day. When no. 2 is out, I would have to go through it again. sigh.. inevitable. That's another disturbing thought for another time. I've enough for now.
When we got back, we met up with friends. Attended some CNY festivals here over the weekend.
The Alhambra CNY festival.
These piglets are so cute!
CNY celebration at Irvine Spectrum Centre.
We even got red packets with real $ inside!
How cool is that? I was pleasantly surprised as I expected a voucher or a fortune cookie inside the red packets.
I think this is about all for CNY. Up next will be Valentine's Day. I think these occasions become more prominent because of Charlotte. Her school will celebrate these occasions. Otherwise I doubt we will even remember them. I don't even remember the last time we bother about V day.
