Hi and thanks for dropping by! You can call me Shyan, Shyanyan or Cath. These are all my real names, by the way.
Friends know me as generally a private person and I don’t aspire to be a writer at all because I am not well read enough and don’t have intelligent things to say. A big part of my job is to deal with crafting words, words and more words in part public relations, strategic planning and management though. I would say that this is most parts fulfilling and sometimes irksome. The bad part is that I can’t and don’t want to let it out publicly; and the good part is I rant it out on my dear husband, YC, once I get home.
YC listens half of the time, with no comments (men!) and asks me to stop complaining the other half. He’s right really because other the few things that get to me, it’s the almost-perfect job for me at this time of my life. It was at this place that I was able to plan for my wedding, my home, and have time for my 2 lovely children Shin and Shuo.
I’m not ashamed nor proud to say that my full-time work is a big part of me — it just happened I guess.
YC and I met through the Internet and I didn’t think he was the one I’d marry at first. But life can be full of surprises and we built a lovely home and family together, which I adore. The home used to be clean, white and spacious until Little Shin, my biggest pride and joy, came along in 2009. It’s still (generally) clean and spacious but I’m mentally preparing myself for more degeneration after baby boy starts to walk next year. Hur hur. As for the family, we’ve had our challenges in the last few years but I am blessed certainly in many many ways. It’s been amazing how God has sustained and provided for us, especially in the 3 years’ past.
I enjoy baking, crafting, reading and photography — cooking, not so much because that would make my kitchen greasy and I’ll be very very upset (thank God for part-time cleaners) — but I don’t do much of those nowadays, because of the lack of time. I hope to be able to resume these on a more regular basis when my two babies grow older, or when I can will my body to sleep less.
I am filled with anticipation and fear with what lies ahead. Surely life is going to change more in the next month(s) or so…if you are reading this, leave a comment to let me know who you are and so that I know someone is here to share the journey 
nice revamp!
