monday

today is my father's birthday. we had a night out and it was really comforting to hear that if he had to re-live any age of his life, it would be right now at 74. happy birthday papa.

wednesday

i was inspired by robin to think of a word that would sum up my attempts to be this year. i think that word is brave. brave enough to try something without knowing the answer, to be uncertain, to be spontaneous and to finally say it didn't go at all as i planned but boy, what an adventure!

tuesday

first meal

i started the year with my favourite food. pasta yeah! only this time i added a few more chilis than i usually do. so by mid way into our meal, my husband and i were sniffling with tears running down our cheeks and refilling our glasses with ice cold orange juice til there weren't any left. my mom-in-law came back with a new potted plant that's suppose to bring us prosperity and i dished her a plate of pasta with a warning rating which she said she was brave enough to try. hope you're having a memorable start to the year.
