arrghhhhhhhhhh

let me start with the unhappy stuff first. heard that someone is looking all over the place for me. they think my form class is having mother tongue intensive programme, then the form teacher very free huh? hello, i've got to relief classes.... oh no, i know u looking for me, so i purposely go and hide myself, want to play hide and seek with u.......... Dumb lor, these people. they think we will sit in the staff room during our free period, waiting for them to come and get us. oh please GAL (Get A Life)

then in the afternoon, i was so stretched in all areas. wait need to draw out armoury room keys, wait need to meet parents, need to eat birthday cake, need to type out consent forms. how to handle so many things at one time? so feel like killing them at that time. anyway, after some tears of frustration, i felt better. table is in a total mess, forget it, i can't be bothered. should have taken a pic of my table juz now.

ok, now for the best part of my day. my students bought a birthday cake and pre celebrated my birthday for me. well, i know there would be a surprise for me, but i didn't think that there would be a cake, not to mention the present and flower. i was touched. i had to control my tears esp when they sing the birthday song. but i dun understand why is there a need to be irritated first before i received the surprise?

ok, then photo taking, then blowing of candle, i wish ..... hmm, cannot say, otherwise it will not come true... i know, i wish upon a wishing starz... sounds familiar? ;)

then cutting of cake and distribution of cake. then sabo time...... some hold a small piece of cake and they were like lingering around me, and then i heard the 'satu, dua....' that's it, whamp.... i have cake on my face, hair and even up my nose.

the aftermath? well, i couldn't finish such a big piece of cake, luckily i have tupperware, so i packet the cake home. and my hair, it's still oily from all the cream and later i'm going out for dinner with my mum! oh gosh.

today is suppose to be eat together with family day. then please explain why are there still so many teachers and students in school? where is family life?

tmr have to follow students to go to a boring workshop, it's like so boring lor........... it's such a waste of time. juz becos i'm the i/c in charge of competition.... sigh, i dun want to talk about it, work so long hours this week, now sat also work so long, until 1.30pm leh. so stupid lor! idiots!
wat a Friday

wat is wrong? can't they organise things better, no co-ordination, so messy and we have to clear up the shit for them? what's wrong? too many activities planned? too top-down? what is new at work anyway? i shall not elaborate, emotionless...

ok, receive encouraging sms this morning. too bad i dunno how to change my setting for my blog. when i have the time, i'll study the template and trial and error to make my blog more reader friendly. i know the font is a bit small. i will also make the pics better so that u dun have to scroll to see the whole picture. but please give me some time to do this up properly. btw, how many people here reads http://xiaxue.blogspot.com ? out of curiosity....

bought the whole set of star wars movies, from episode 1 to 6, with the exception of episode 3. hehe, i'm going to watch everyone of them.

ok, as i'm blogging this now, marcus is right beside me, bugging me to play crazy taxi with him and telling me about his stuff in school. so i better end this blogging fast, i cannot multi task with him beside me. should have taken a pic of him standing beside the comp.

anyway, had a shitty day today, dun want to talk about it. the day is over, i'm done with the things that makes me angry. bought some nice cool beer to chill out later and some chicken wings....

Took a psycho test and here is my result....

those parts which i agree wif, i'll bold it.


sandra, your subconscious mind is most preoccupied with issues around your family life

On a conscious level, you might already be aware that something is troubling you, or eating up a lot of time when it comes to your family relations. But it's also possible that family issues have been preoccupying your subconscious mind — leaving you with nothing more than a general sense that things just don't feel 100% right in your life though you can't quite figure out why.

You may feel slightly bothered by situations or relationships in your family, or you may find that your family just isn't fulfilling you in critical ways you desire. You also might find you spend a lot of time worrying, or thinking about your family members and their situations. You might feel that family issues take up a lot of your energy. Or maybe you're so frustrated with your situation that you avoid the topic all together.Whichever feelings hold true, your test results indicate that right now, your subconscious mind is working overtime to resolve the issues confronting you in this area of your life — even if you don't feel aware of it.

3rd day of long weekend

early in the morning, went to the temple to pray. it's the fifteenth month of the year. after that, went to buy some winter clothings for the aust trip. then went to funan IT mall. went to buy SD card for the digital cam. in the meantime, i also went to check out the iPod mini and HP iPaq.... still thinking which one i need most.... when we came back, i was so tired from all the thinking that i fell asleep. before i knew it, mum and grandma and aunties were here for the steam boat dinner.

these are the two models of HP iPaq i was contemplating:

day 1 of long weekend

exciting day or i could say nite.

1) went to catch star wars in the evening. i realise for star wars, it's really regardless of race, age, language (saw 2 mute people communicating thru sign language) and religion? well, dun see any monks that is... George Lucas is good. now i want to go and find star wars 4 (if it can be found) cos i was so young when it premiered.

2) played a game of pool. won 1st 2 games, then lost 3 games. damn it. lose, thought i could win the bet, but it's like that all the time. i cannot bet, once i bet, i'll lose, cannot play competitively one... rusty skills...

3) went MU at 1130. nice music, chio bu (plenty) and boy, they were hot. they went to the bar top to dance and those guys were juz drooling..... and nose bleeding too....one gal was in fact quite openly flirting wif the guys... well, i guess we come to a conclusion, if u have it, flaunt it.

4) den 1 plus went to a quieter pub to chill out. nice cosy place, music not that loud... nice music playing in the background.

when we reached home, children are asleep, so cute.... so peaceful they look.

ok, today is day 2 of long weekend.

wish

hmmm, was thinking of getting a iPod mini, the present mp3 player i'm using, so like stop watch, design not cool leh... iPod mini seems juz nice for a lady, hmmm, been scouting ard for a good bargain.

another impulse, saw the DBS cashline promotion on HP iPaq, with 2 free items (digital cam and printer) so impulsive to buy. cos i've been wanting to change my phone, but then can't decide what model to change to, so with this offer, i was very tempted to buy. but then i dun really need a pda phone, i juz need more of a pda to keep me busy, occupied while waiting. i'm in a dilema (gosh, how to spell?) becos i dunno if i buy the iPaq, it's more for the phone (which is actually quite bulky, O2 mini is actually nicer in design) or for the offer as i need a printer soon. sigh...

then last nite, issuing cheques to pay for m&m holiday prog, plus their term 3 school fees are due soon, i sort of push the idea of buying the iPaq aside. becos what i pay for the iPaq, can almost pay both of their school fees. with that thot in mind, i kept on convincing myself that i'm not going to take up that offer.

somehow, with children, it does wonder to your spending habit. you tend to put them first. their education, their toys, their needs/wants over yours. yah, i work so hard for them, if not for them, i wouldn't work so hard to find extra income for the family.

we took the cable car

yesterday, decided to bring the kids to harbour front. actually it is becos SAFE opened a new branch there and we wanted to check out the price of the plasma tv.

went there for lunch, (cannot mention the name of the restaurant, otherwise i may be sued) but food was so so. not exactly nice, it will be my last time there. but while eating, M&M saw the cable car and was looking at it.

then we went walking ard, went to SAFE, may be thinking of buying an iPod Mini...

then when we are going back home, marcus was very sad and we knew he wanted something (oh yah, btw, after lunch, he brought us to the shop becos he saw thomas the train story book, so in the end, we ended up leaving the shop, marcus: thomas activity pack, mabel: big coloring book) ok, back to the previous sentence.... so i asked him what he wanted, he pointed upwards to the cable car, that's it, he wanted to take a ride in the cable car.

so we decided to drive up to mount faber and take one round of the cable car. needless to say, they were very happy. (i should learn to upload some pictures here, took a pic of them while we were in the cable car) they were not frightened... and even wanted the cable car to go faster.

the cable car was very crowded with tourists on a sunday... good business, that's good, i think we were the only Singaporeans there. also when i took the cable car, i was recollecting my memories of the cable car ride in Cairns, australia, wat do they call it? gondola ride? yah, it was like passing over the top of forests, rivers... and the weather was cooling, unlike the cable car ride, which was a little bit hot.

and after we alight from the cable car, marcus said, 'tomorrow, we come to cable car again.' i was juz telling my hubby that he better dun make this cable ride thingy a weekly affair. but i'm happy that they are happy.

for goodness sake, solve the problem

whenever a problem is pointed out, i seek thy co-operation to help solve it, not to question me why i have overlooked the problem.

is it of any point if thou has managed to pinpoint my fault? we have so many things to take care of and i cannot overlook a small mistake? then thou all have so many things to take care of as well, and yet thou can overlook the same mistake? so can i question thou all why? why thy overlook this issue when reminders have been given? why thy has make a mistake?

do i also have to eternally grateful to thy becos thy have approved my leave? kcuf, revoke the approval, withdraw the approval.

so angry with thy all, that i'm trembling.

HBO

recently subscribed to HBO. realise that marcus is into action movies and mabel horror movies.

marcus can sit quietly on the sofa and watch the action movies and he's picking up some language. like when we watch 'bad boys', someone said 'chicken shit' and marcus picked that up and felt that it was so funny. but if it's horror show, he'll run to the room.

as for mabel, she sits on the sofa to watch the horror movie. and she doesn't close her eyes. there was once she got frightened by the show, she juz jump a bit. i realise that she was scared by the sudden appearance of that person. so i carried her on my laps and we finish the horror movie together. luckily she didn't have night mare that nite

weather is so hot

the weather is so hot nowadays. when we reach home, it's the air con we hit the button first. and this is only the beginning. think there are more hot days ahead. global warming? yes, maybe.

donuts, M&M's favourite snack. i can see that mabel's face has changed a lot. her face became rounder from all her non stop eating. fat fat already, not chio already.

marcus has been wanting to buy the magic pen which mabel bought on sunday. well, i purposely want to make him feel the pain. on sunday, when we go ntuc, they all choose the magic pen. then as we walked, again, he saw the cars, he wanted to buy 2 toy cars. of course, i refused. so i negotiated with him, he has to give up his magic pens for the toy cars. he agreed. so he bought the toy cars. and on sunday, he was playing with it happily.

then come monday, he start to 'disturb' or i should say pester his sister to lend him the magic pens. mabel of course, refused to share with the brother. so marcus was very sad. had to remind him that he gave up the magic pen for the toy cars. he seemed to understand this on mon. then on tues nite, he pestered his sister again. i talked to him, carry him on my lap and reminded him that he gave up the magic pens, so he has to suffer the consequences. then he started crying, and he was like so sad face. broke my heart, but i was determined to be firm in this. he has to learn to cope with losses.

but it also broke the daddy's heart. daddy promised to buy him magic pens and also another one for mabel. condition is that nite, mabel has to share the magic pens wif the brother. so in the end, all are happy, except the mummy.

anyway, brought in the table for them to draw and colour. it was like 11 plus at nite. by the time we slept, they are still drawing. has to chase them to bed at 12 plus. gosh, they are such night creatures.

long weekend

The long weekend came and go....

on fri, after sports day, went to colleagues' house for a swim. well, i couldn't swim, so the four of them went to swim while i look after their stuff and i could actually doze off on a hot afternoon (of course, i have that huge umbrella as shade) after that, we went for hi tea, had a good talk. we literally talk all the way till evening time about 7 plus. by the time i reached home and showered, it's 9 plus, and guess what, i slept. slept so soundly from 9 plus till the next morning 8 am. almost 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

then on sat nite, was playing yahoo games, played until 4am then sleep.

on sun nite, after mother's day dinner, went to cousin's house to play mahjong. it was good fun becos we 4 cousins (cousin 1, cousin 2, my sister and me) hardly have chance to get together to talk and catch up wif each other, so it's like a one stone hit 2 birds kind of thing. well, we started at 12 midnite, then we played all the way until 7am. by the time i reached home, it's 8 plus. slept for only 3 hours, until 11 am then woke up and brought them out for lunch and family outing. it was good fun, altho i'm tired. didn't sleep in the afternoon too.

frens say i'm crazy, can sleep, got free time dun want to sleep. i dunno, i juz felt that sleeping is such a waste of time. if i dun sleep, i can finish so much more things. unless i'm very very tired, like on fri nite, juz knocked out. some frens were surprised that i didn't go partying on fri nite, since it's a long weekend. i dunno, i'm tired, so no mood to party too.
