I can’t deny that I have been counting the days since the last week. I am not sure which one I am actually looking forward more, the new arrivals or simply just a break from the work?

In the past many many years, I have been working like a horse, if it was not “working so hard”, at least I would think myself falling into the category of those respectable workers. I am not tired, but I want to have a decent break. I want to have the choices that I could get a after-lunch nap, even though I really don’t think I would need one, or be in my PJs for a whole day, and not to worry about cooking more for dinner meals to save some for tomorrow’s lunch.

Now it’s for real that I am getting close. My colleagues organised a nice morning tea to say farewell to me this morning. I was given a lot of blessings and baby gifts, and some of them are quite nice and make me feel moved. I have very mixed feelings about this particular time of my life. With all the blessings and the big upcoming event, I was made aware of that my life, will never be the same, and now, there is no way going back.

If I say that I know what to expect, I would be lying. Seriously I don’t know. I would rather saying that my mind is full of excitement and worries than simply thinking it’s just filled with curiosity, a kind of implus to seek the answers and sought for certainties.

It’s just like turning the pages of this book, a book that I was given by one of my colleagues today, who said it was one of her daughter’s favourite books. The name is “Where is the green sheep?” and it’s said very good for kids to learn a lot of stuff and concepts. Other colleagues agreed and they seems all very familiar with this book.

I had no idea, and I was told that I am going to learn all of this soon. Oh mine……I am now one of them, turning the pages, one by one, to look for the green sheep in my life. Can you believe it?
