Wah, brought the kids to dairy farm, the newly opened education centre, but it was not open. So disappointed, walked all the way in to find it close. They should at least have a signboard at the carpark to tell people of the opening and closing hours. Nevertheless, rook some pics.

This is a big spider in its spider web.

just made a quick video showing some pics of grandma's funeral to the tune of one her favourite hymn. actually i prefer the hymn which was played when we followed behind the van, but could not find it, so settle for second best.

Mabel has been so disappointing. Her virtue of sensibility and not letting us worried has become her greatest weakness and shame.

She is a quiet, scheming, make use of people, cheater. I shall not elaborate on the incident.

As usual, I always reflect. Her daddy has always been a honest person, maybe she takes after me, do I cheat people? Do I make use of people? Maybe in some point of my life, I did. Whatever mabel has done in fact really reflects badly on her parents, it's Like we never teach her well.

I feel disappointed with her and feel so hurt. More painful than losing a loved one. I've asked her to reflect on her own actions. I juz stop short of smacking her. Regret to bring her to this world to make her suffer all these, but she has to learn.

I'm done for today, totally lost mood. We'll be visiting grandma again, 2nd march. Grandma, can u take me with u?

So are u happy to see me like that now? I derserve it, right, u must be thinking.

Wah, this morning go ntuc food court at simei mrt, the Lady selling the Dian xin sucks! dun make me angry, otherwise the Chou ah Lian in me appear.

It's Like we owe her like that, she was making things so dunno to say order or not, then she said in a rude voice in mandarin, ' wat u want order, say lah.' wah throughout the whole process she was very rude. I also buay tahan, this kind of person, no need to be kind also.

This is another incident which I feel it doesn't pay to be kind. I really wanted to retaliate back at auntie, ' auntie, buay song mai zo kang. Mai pek ceik.Zar mey ang bo ka ler sio kan huh? Ang Mai sio kan, chue pak eh da bo sio kan lah, nb. Mm si wa Mai kan ler, Mai chue wa si, chue ler ang si, wo ka ler buay mi Kia ba lu.'

Wah, hokkien very hard to pinyin.

Juz came back fm doc. In another 2 mins, my alarm us going to ring.

After hubby woke up, told him abt doc, suggest that I go 24 hr clinic which I'ce googled whe I can't sleep. Manage to find one at tampines, so at 5am, went to see doc. Couldn't bear the itch.

Upon seeing my condition, immediately gave a jab, which would be drowsy, so after paying,quickly drive home before it kicks in. Actually as I'm writing this blog, I can feel it slowly kick in.

So here i am, feeling much better after the jab, no longer itch and feeling tired and drowsy.

Nite every one.

Long time never have hong mo, this time round, very bad case. Started ard midnight, neck. Thought was mosquito bite, went to toilet, damn, red rashes. Nvm, tolerate, dun scratch. Couldn't sleep, can feel more and more popping out.

Then the whole arm, inner thigh. Juz went toilet to check, my whole body, including my backside and ears are also covered with rashes.

Looks gross, in some areas, it merged into one big lump, I would have taken a pic to put in the blog, but ha, dun think so.

The itch is killing me, cannot scratch as it seems to get worse if I scratch. Very torturous.

Hope it gets better in another 2 hours time, but then i didn't get any sleep! the minute I feel sleepy, some parts of my body will be itchy. as I glide my hands over my body, I can feel the bumps of the rashes, goose pimple. My neck looks swollen, my arms looks swollen.

Really, tolerating itch is mire torturous than tolerating pain. But then again, certain pain like appendicts or toothache is rather unbearable.

Another hour to go before hubby wakes up, will tell him when he wakes up.

what i told grandma

that day when i visited grandma, i told her this:

'ah ma, i'm sorry i was not able to go back to God, because i was not ready. on one hand i'm sorry to you and Him but on the other hand, i do not want to go back to God just for the sake of a promise to you. i want to be really prepared and sincere if i were to go back to God.

ah ma, maybe the day when i walked into a church to attend the service will be the day when i know that all the hypocrisy that i've seen is gone. the day i walked into a church will be the day i know i can be a good testimony to God. for each day that i can't reconcile what i've saw, each day that i can't reconcile that i'm not a hypocrite Christian myself, i will not go back to Him.

so ah ma, once again, sorry. (each time i visit her, i'll say sorry to her in my heart) i love u and of course do not want to disappoint u, but that doesn't mean that i should just go back to God for the sake of you. In the meantime, ah mah, pls continue to watch over your children. They need you more than your grandchildren do.

everytime i go visit you, i saw the young man lying beside you, sometimes i envied him.

love you always, grandma, from San.'

Today I was very inspired by the show, a 80 year old woman, despite her age, still going so strong, still remaining cheerful despite her adversity.

I really wish I have her courage, her power to face adversity. Really, I have no regrets living for 35 years. If I were to die tomorrow, I have no regrets, I've lived my life, my ch ate healthy as of now, I have a house, a job, I dun have to worry abt tmr.
Wat more can I ask? I should be asking, wat more can I give or do for the unfortunate?

As I keep saying, life is short, live your life to the fullest. Be happy, life has been good to me. Be positive Ans stay cheerful.

Must be PMS, one min I'm happy, another min, I'm sad. But i guess it's ok, I asked for it, only blame myself. It'd ok, Life is short, live life to fullest.

Max is very cute. He counts his own ang pow money, when I put it all together, he calls it fat fat money.

He says there are 2 dollars, 10 dollars, then he says when we are all not at home, he's going to use his fat fat money to but bubble tea. When I asked him to share his money with me, he said no. After much persuasion, he said he's give me 2 dollars, and he takes 10 dollars, so smart hor.

He's very cute. Marcus also talk about how he is going to use his money, One look at my expression, he said joking lah,

And it's very funny, all 3 of them took the same number of ang pow, but the 3 amount doesn't tally?? All 3 of them got different amount.

Children are the happiest when it comes to taking ang pow.

Today during lesson, saw a cockroach crawling towards my bag and pencil box. Actually, it's not I spotted the cockroach, it was the students. U can imagine my horrid expression, I juz want to get far away fm the cockroach. As I moved away, I instructed students to take the paper to crush the cockroach, of course after crushing the cockroach, he took it to scare me.

So now the whole class know that mrs tan is scared of cockroach. Darn.

Visiting grandma

Today, brought Mabel and max to the cemetry to visit grandma. Every time I visit grandma, I felt a bit sad.

Cleaned the grave, placed the sunflowers, not much grass to cut.

On the long journey home, I would think of many things. San is originated from grandma, she always call me San. San was also the last word she said, something which I will carry, till the day I die. So it's rather affectionate when someone else call me San, provided the person is close to me.

I also thought abt life and death.
Not that I'm afraid of death, juz afraid that I have not live life to fullest before I die. so I start thinking how to live life to fullest, someone asked me this question before, but until now I dun have the full answer.

I only know that sometimes we must slow down to enjoy the sun, the rain, the clouds, the stars, the moon. Sometimes we must remain happy and positive, sometimes we must forgive and forget. 平常心去对待事物. And juz do it.

Yesterday, went to east coast's tuwandang for dinner and some drinks. It's another microbrewery, this is a thai-German restaurant. Its first store in sg is at dempsy, still is.

I quite like the ambience, there were some nice comfy seating. The food was nice, more authentic Thai food. There are some food menu that are suitable to order for ch.

I do not know why hungry go where gave its service 3.5, I would give it higher.

Colleague Eunice was like aiya, we should have asked serene along. Next time, we will ask her. For me, it was more of mm, one more beer drinking place, so will sure jio Kelvin and family one day.

Heard last night, our next destination will be brewerkz kallang.

Enjoy watching hubby and max playing together and laughing.

Women are really troublesome, fm head to toe, need to look after. Need to look after hair, face, nails, body, inside clothes, outside clothes, shoes etc, never ending.

If there is next life, I want to be a man.

17 years ago, on 6 feb, hubby held my hands for the first time and that is how we started to park tor.

Started with friends teasing, then when he sent me home, he held my hands.

So last night was 6 feb, so we went out for a while. Good to relieve some of the memories.

Angry and tired today. why is it that most of the things have to wait for me them can do? wait for mummy to come home then ask abt homework, then ask mummy to give spelling? Ny the time I finish my work last night, it's already 10 pm, dun blame her for doing things last minute.

I'm so damn tired, feels like letting go. Really letting go.

i dunno how i sleep. my left hand's 3rd finger feels like i've sprained it like that, cannot show middle finger...

pain sia, cannot lift up.... but how did i sprain it while i was sleeping?
now typing also a bit pain, cannot type as fast and letter 'e' is the most commonly used alphabet....darn...
a quickie before i become busy...;)

hmmm, marcus and mabel forgot to blog, gave them a topic to blog about. today marcus is going for a learning journey, last night at 10pm then he told me, mummy, there is no sandwich. i was like, marcus, u should have told me earlier so that i could buy it, he is so last minute. anyway, told him to pack his own stuff for learning journey, as for sandwiches, sorry, no food for you. you are hungry, u go and find your own food.

as for mabel, think she is playing badminton during recess, she has been bringing the racket to school these few days.

my darling max, poor thing, he has been waking up these 2 mornings, cried when he noticed nobody around him in the room. 'mummy! mummy!' went to the room, hug him and carried him down. he was a little reluctant to let us to go school, you know, that pouty, poor thing face? we all gave him a hug and a kiss. break my heart to go to work like that.

Wednesday, February 03, 2010

today woke up with a slightly heavy heart. dunno why, like something is going to happen. i dun want to dwell so much on this.

anyway, plenty work to complete today, stay focus. work, work, work.

before i publish this post, just feel that this post sounds depressing, sorry, maybe it's the mid week blues.

Tuesday, February 02, 2010

Finally finish some work. started after dinner, 7 plus, persevere to 9 plus. finally, how did I survive?I dunno. Now, try to clear sine big business, hot shower and then sleep, tiring day.

I agree I'm harsh to Marcus when it comes to his homework, tekan him in maths juz now. I know he cried, he didn't cry out loud, he juz wiped his tears and carried on. he learnt to be strong. My heart broke when I saw him wiped his tears. I soften after I saw this.

Well, in life, who didn't get scolded by boss for doing wring things? We bite our teeth, clench our fist, and continue with work. so cannot keep protecting our children.
