I love both my children equally and as most mothers, would totally give up my life for them. And thankfully, both of them are share a very deep and close bond with both, my husband and I.
But my relationship with my daughter is unique. While most girls out there are 'daddy's girls', my little Kelly is clearly a 'mommy's girl'.
We spend a lot of time together when she's not producing shows and when I'm not busy doing something or the other. Those are somewhat rare moments that we treasure, and that's why whenever the opportunity comes up, we grab it. And there are many ways we spend those moments.
One of those, is binge watching our favourite sitcom, Modern Family while having our meals. We literally started off on season 1 and watched nonstop each time we had the chance to do so, till we reached season 10's current episode. And then guess what? We started watching season 1 all over again. Somehow this show resonates with us and we love these moments, it's almost sacred ha.
Another thing we love doing is just lazying around on the carpet and talking about our goals, dreams and plans. I've always encouraged my kids to never be afraid to set goals, dream about it and then go and achieve it. And so far, they've been doing just that. So yea, these moments of vegging out on the carpet are truly magical.
Another thing we enjoy doing together at home is having our tea. I'm a tea person and so is she. And that's why we've got a whole range of teas on the kitchen shelf. I'm a tea-leaf kinda person and I don't really go for tea-bags. I miss those times prior to her starting on her current job when she was on a few months break, where we used to slip into our pyjamas in the afternoons (especially on rainy afternoons) and sip our teas while cozying up to a movie together. We still get to do this on weekends though. As for the pool picture, that's our favourite hangout place at home to enjoy our brew.
She calls my Mom twice a day every day to remind her to take her heart medications. That's exactly what I used to do to my own grandmother - call her twice a day for the same purpose.
It's such a treat actually that my daughter is all grown up because we're able to share so many similar interests. We share our make-ups, talk about fashion, have many twinsie clothings, we have the same shoe size and for me, it's like having a very young 'best friend'. Although we have different views on certain other things, but most of the time, we're on the same page.
This July, she'll be turning 24 years. I can't believe that the little girl I used to carry around is almost in her mid 20s. Makes me feel extremely ancient, you know? I love you forever, my Kelly girl.
2019
Happy 2019 everyone!
My heart is bursting with so much love. My body is filled with gratitude. My thoughts are making me dizzy every time I stop to think. I'm in love. Yep. I'm so in love with this intention that I have.
Thank you all for your lovely Christmas and NY's greetings through messages, texts and emails.
So! We're in to a new set of 365 days. And with the arrival of a brand new year, comes new dreams, new hopes, new resolutions, new changes and so much more. Who's pressing the reset button out there?
This time around, I've done away with resolutions. Instead, I'm more into scripting my year, or even journaling if you may. To me, it's more realistic, fun and certainly a lot more zest to it compared to making promises or resolutions to yourself you can't keep. I scripted last year, on the 31st December 2017 for the year ahead and I was blown away by the results. My Kelly also did this and she benefitted the most.
Well, as I said sayonara to 2018 last night, I reflected upon it as a year full of ups and downs.
As I'm not particularly fond of dwelling on negative events, I'm totally grateful for the positive ones.
And there were many. The silver lining was always there and always will be. As long as the people who I really love are all well and good, my life is awesome!
New Year's Eve was a blast as usual. Hosted by my cousin this year at her lovely home, we partied hard till the wee hours of the morning. Had no idea what time I laid my head on the pillows, but I certainly woke up with the feeling of elephants resting on my skull.
I truly apologise I can't upload any pictures from last night's event as I'm having a troubleshooting issue between my Mac and Iphone. That explains why the main picture of this blog with me holding the flag is still there! After 4 long months. Bear with me, meanwhile.
So that's it for now. Although I mentioned that there were no resolutions made, but just so you know, I've added 'blogging' into my 'scripting'. And pictures too. I know, it's been a while since I've uploaded pictures of this blogger.
Once again, a very Happy 2019 you sweet souls. May this year be filled with happiness, peace in the Universe, a reduction of poverty all over the world and to overall good health for everyone.
Love,
Debbie

Leisure and Pleasure
And with the Christmas spirit in the air, it makes any kind of shopping even more delightful.
So in the last 8 days, we've taken a drive up twice to the Genting Premium Outlet situated in Genting Highlands of course. It was a rainy drive up, just the way I like it - that slow nagging sexy kind of raindrops that still allows you to walk through without getting soaked. Know what I mean?
Yes, I did loads of Christmas shopping there and yes I had a fantastic time. Because when you have the best company with you, it's always memorable. And then spending the nights at Colmar's chateau-like resort, it seals the deal. Totally!
Life is good. I'm thankful!
