12-Hour Work day

It used to be that 12 to 14 hours work was normal. I used to build my life around work. I enjoyed my weekend to recover and catch up on my sleep, so I can start another week of rigorous work week. Wow what a life. I have changed my perspective sooner and slowly but surely. In particular when I hit 30 and start to learn more about life, learn more about human behavior, and more importantly, learn more about myself. I think self-help expert called this self awareness, the top quality for EQ (Emotional Intelligence).

Anyway, I digress. I just finished a Monday, an another 12-hour work day, when I swore to improve. But, there is no point beating yourself up about it. I have learnt that although I make mistakes and still trying to learn to take care of myself, the most important thing is to love myself and forgive. Forgive.

This is what I am reading today.

Me in Singapore Egg hunt Easter 2015

Happy Mother's Day 2017

This Mother's Day, the Singapore version falls on the second weekend of May. I signed up for an exclusive Shiseido photoshoot with mom that took place at Park Royal hotel Pickering, Presidential Suite at 14th floor. The Shiseido team was pretty professional and thorough to make the experience enjoyable with mom. Upon arriving, we saw that the line to reception is very long, so we called Shaz a lovely lady from Shiseido who went to lobby to pick us up. The concierge of the hotel was very helpful too, so upon knowing that we have been waiting, he took us to the lobby - and because of this we passed each other with Shaz.

Upon arrival, we had our make up done and hair. Then photo shoot for 6 to 7 shots and then proceed with our lovely canapes with sweet and savoury decked in a 3-tier hi-tea arrangement.

Here is the result!
