I have been busy...

Really, I have, been unbelievably busy.
It's incredible to think I'm craving to get away again, and it's not even a fortnight yet from my last escapade.
On a really big milestone type note, Nikita is now in Standard 1, can't believe, well neither can I.
We've been so busy, and our routine has since turned upside down to accommodate, well this new routine.
I've been getting up even before the crack of dawn and have been going at it with no more than 6 hrs of sleep every night, it's a wonder I can get through the day but somehow I am, maybe it's the euphoria knowing that my firstborn is now in formal school!
And yes, I do have cutesy pictures of her in her uniform, having lunch at the canteen, sitting in class, yes, nearly every minute of her first day in school is in pictures, but by the 3rd day she was flying solo. It's amazing when I think about it, and then reminiesce my own horrific Standard 1 Biru experience. I cried, I was scared, I didn't what to do, and I knew I didn't speak to anyone, and was heavily relieved when school was done, fast forward 29 years later and it's a whole new ball game. Kids nowadays are of a different breed altogether, Teacher Sue said that it was most probably the DHA and what not that is in kid's formula nowadays, I don't disagree!
But apart from all the lack of sleep, I am so profoundly happy that my baby is now going to school and is slowly speading her wings. She tells me that primary school is really different but she thoroughly enjoying her new experience although it's hard finding a new BFF! She still misses Jyin Tzer, Sonya & the gang :)
But it's the dawn of a new chapter, a chapter that will last a good 11 years right up to secondary school, all I can say is well we better be ready for the rollercoaster ride!
