What’s the main thing that builds your self-confidence and why? ::: I think it is my belief in my self and what I am capable of plus the confidence and trust that other people give me helps a lot too.

What lessons in humility have you learned over the course of your life? ::: Being humble gives me peace of mind. It helps me understand and forgive those people who feel they could never go wrong and has so much confidence in themselves often seen by other as something not good anymore.

How do you combat negative thoughts? ::: I try as much as possible now not to think about them anymore. And I pray that whatever it is, it won’t happen or affect us in reality. I try to focus on more positive thoughts now and trying to get as much positive vibes through prayers and looking at the brighter side of everything that happens every single day. It isn’t that easy. In fact it is easier said than done indeed. But I just have to work on it coz it helps a lot to be positive even when reality sometimes tells us that life cannot be that good at certain times. We just have to believe there is always something good in everything around us.

::: What are you grateful for today? ::: I am thankful for a lot of things especially the blessings that have come into our life.

I am thankful for the strength, hope and comfort that my precious lil angel brings me every day.

What’s missing in your life? ::: I thinks it’s quality me time and time with hubby or should I say more time from hubby who’s always busy with work in the office and with his PC at home. One thing more probably missing is us living in our very own home.

What was your best day of the week last week and why?

::: Probably the days when we went to have a food trip with the boys at Mongolian Garden always ordering their buttered chicken which is a fave of us three and then the lil boy would play at the slide in their playground after wards or while waiting for our food to be served.

What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep?

::: There was a day when I did not sleep for more 30 hours catching up on due and expiring tasks one time last year. But those tasks were blessings so that is why I really wanted to finish them all.

Is how old you look and/or how old you feel right now different from your actual age?

::: There are times I feel and thing am younger than my age and there are times too when I feel and think am older than my actual age. As they say, age is just a number. You can live your life whatever way you can. I have seen much older ladies dressing up like teens or like yuppies and it’s all up to each of us.
