A Journey Begins..

37 years ago I was born in Selangor, Malaysia. Sister Miaw and brother Casey are my other two siblings, we have a big age gap of 8 and 6 years and I have always been the "pest" to them but nevertheless we grew closer when we got older. Mum was always busy with the hair salon. Dad passed away when I was 9 years old of a heart attack. I remember very little of him.

Primary school was a breeze. Secondary years was full of fun and laughter. Many moments I treasured. There were plenty of boys but I was a late starter, met my first boyfriend at the age of 15. Deryl was a lovely guy with a wonderful family. We had a 5 years courtship.

To summarize my growing up years..I have had a very independent, care free childhood with lots of values and virtues.

At the age of 19 in 1990, I landed a job as a stewardess with SIA and never looked back since. Flying was one of the best years of my life, to be exact a good 5 years till 1995. Being away gave me lots of freedom but with the right values I took pride in my body and soul.

About 2 years into my flying career I met Remigius Tan. I was first attracted to his good looks then it took very little time for us to start a relationship in HongKong just 3 days before my 21st Birthday. The rest they say is history.. We said our vows on 5 July 1997 at Blessed Sacrament Church and dinner at Omni Marco Polo hotel. Our honeymoon to Bali was with our close buddies Richard and Catherine.

God blessed us with 3 Bundle of Joy, Ysabel in 1998, Lucas in 2001 and Julia in 2004. Life has never been the same since being a mummy. They change my thoughts and I learned from them daily. Its just fantastic watching them grow day by day.

Apart from being a wife and a mother I have had to work full time in early part of Ysabel's life. I was managing a service office in Raffles Place for a few years till I had Lucas. Life was tedious juggling with kids and career, I chose to spend time at home.

Looking after Ysabel, Lucas and my other big baby Rem on my own was no easy task but end of the day I am happy. There were many birthday parties to attend and many wonderful outings. We enjoyed our visits to Pasir Ris Park. As our family grew so did our friends. It got so big we had very little room to fit all in our humble home.

We welcome our 3rd and last baby Julia in 2004. She was all I wanted, fair, big eyes and curly hair. Her locks only came at 2 years old and I am still enjoying "curly Ju"

Soon after Julia was old enough I embarked on my career as a realestate agent. I was very blessed with lots of clients and was able to make a decent salary. Its a job that gives me plenty of time to be with my family and I get rewarded quite handsomely.

Life seems happy and smooth sailing..
