Those words from our onco were as sweet to hear as when he told us that Nellie's "cancer is now in remission", back in June 2006 (see earlier posting, dated 30Aug'06).
We walked out of his office, slightly light on our feet..as if we were floating a little. At Killiney's for my cuppa while she continued with her latest infusion, I sms her.."I am so happy today, dear".
She replied "Me too :-) "
It's been almost one full year since we posted our last blog. And what a year it has been! Perhaps it was the stark contrast to the year before but 2007 had been simply wonderful!
Let us give you a pictorial tour of the highlights of '07:
Jan 07.. we took the big step to go into our own business..running a childcare centre!
After over 20 years of corporate life, we felt it was time we try something new. Not just something that would be challenging but also uplifting. And what a lift indeed!
In April, we put our money where our hearts are, and started our new life-chapter right in the centre of Tampines.. Carpe Diem Young Minds Pte Ltd.. a lovely childcare centre in the heartlands.
And just look at the faces of these children (we lovingly called them "our children")..
Seeing them grow, day by day..
Watching them being nourished everyday by their dedicated and caring teachers..
Yes, they nourished us in turn, Nellie especially..
August 07.. and so we said.."Why not run another centre?"
Indeed, and thus was born Carpe Diem Young Hearts Pte Ltd, our 2nd centre also in the heartlands of Tampines. You can tell we just love this township.
Our distinctive outdoor artwork soon became the centre of attraction for the children, and the neighbourhood alike. With such professionally painted, life-like safari animals, who wouldn't be captivated..
Can you guess who the new 'man' in Nellie's life is?
What a cute darling indeed!
Looking back, we can't help but think that this "ed-adventure" of 9 months old will somehow be a lifelong journey for the rest of our lives.
