My mummy's wonderful dinner

A big thanks to my mum who specially cooked

1) spaghetti for the kids, knowing that they love to eat spaghetti. Very much appreciated. and there was extra for me to 'da bao' to school for my lunch for monday and tuesday!

2) the wonderful dinner the soup, the fish, the beef curry and the broccoli. Can see that she knows what the children likes to eat (broccoli) and she specially cooked for them. I love the soup, it was so delicious.

Thank you for a wonderful dinner. Sometimes feel bad that i didn't spend enough time with you, just go to your place to have dinner and then bye. It's like a hi-bye kind of thing.

Anyway, i can see that the children enjoyed the spaghetti.

Can't thank you enough. Thanks again, mummy.

increasing price of oil

Oh my oh my, inflation is at 5.5% and oil prices is high. This totally wipes out any wage increment!

save money save money save money

sorry children, we may have to hold vacation plan in June.

Max

Max broke my heart.

He has been a naughty boy lately. Carried him downstairs, still not appreciative, want to drink milk, want to play with the DS, want this want that, talk nicely to him, he don't listen.

It hurts but if I have to discipline him, I will. If I have to b heartless, I will.

juz read my dec 2010 posts and dec 2009 posts. i noticed two things:

1) dec is a stressful month for me

2) i never like xmas

Reading

Picked up the book 'purpose driven life' to read recently. It was actually given to me last May by Aunt Sal. i did read a chapter or two, then i stopped for a long time because i knew the book would speak to me.

Life is a test, life is a trust. Every moment in life we are being tested. What has God entrusted me with? questions questions questions and it hits me at times when i read the book.

Until i can reconcile the differences, probably then i'm ready to go back.

Acute chest pain

I had two acute chest pain this morning. Recalling, on Wed night, i had one. After the 1st chest pain, i sat on the board, massaged the chest, took in deep breath.

When the 2nd one hit, i sat on the chair, many things went through my mind. There are many things i have not done, please don't let me die now. There are many things i have not instructed, please don't let me die now, at least let me give my instructions properly first. For a short moment, I was scared.

So, I'll live today as if it's my last. Actually we should live everyday as if it's our last day. That is live life to the fullest.

Hot night

The weather is so hot, I wish I can walk around naked. Ha, only in the room, don't worry, no chance to stomp me.

The Niece

Since marcus and mabel read my blog, i think i need to put a proper closure to this case.

I'm glad that the children and even lao gong accepted and we did make some plans, however, this thing will not happen.

Reason is simple:
1) She is well-looked after now.

So goes to say that our worries were unfound, therefore, since she is well looked after now, let's drop the case and move on with life.

What about mummy having a baby????????

Wednesday

I coined a term for my wednesday's blues. Yes, i realised that for the past few wednesdays, I've been feeling blue and down, maybe it's just coincidence that things just concur on wednesdays. Whatever it is, it is always testing my strength and will on Wednesdays. so I call this my mid week blues, mid week crisis.

I believe that trials are to make one stronger. The process is difficult, sometimes painful, but in the end, we should triumph (brand of bra, what a name) over trials. Persevere and jia you is the only thing i can tell myself now. even if the end process is not what i expected, i guess, yes, it would be painful because after trying so hard, you did not reach your goal. I guess, just bear the pain and continue. No point lingering and staying.

this promise i had made, this pain i will bear.

aiya, just reward me with 4D on Wednesday evening!!!!!!

weekend

Brought home many things to do, but i could say i only complete a bit, maybe a fifth of what i planned to do.

went to funeral wake on sat and sunday, and on sunday, almost spend the whole day there. in the evening, when i went to amk for dinner, after dinner, both lao gong and i actually slept while sitting on the sofa!

i had a good sleep at night, no sleepless night.

Valentine Day

happy valentine day to all and here's returning my greetings to those who had sms me.

proved to be an eventful day for me. first, started with me forgetting to bring my laptop charger, then marcus fell down in school and sprained his ankle, had to ask for some time off to bring him home. Nothing serious, just missed a step and sprained his left ankle.

crossing my finger, nothing else would happen anymore.

Good deed


A simple act like holding the lift door for an old lady and assuring her not to hurry in walking out of the lift just makes my day.

Weekends

That aimless feeling came back again. 1001 and one things to do but not productive nor efficient.

Was reading newspaper the whole morning. I really read all the news in details, egypt, Thai-Cambodia clash, food prices, inflation, upcoming budget.

I need to subscribe newspaper. So now, I try to focus my mind to doing some work. Just feels so unproductive to work on weekends.

world disaster

From the natural disaster in Queensland to the political unrest in Egypt, my heart feels heavy. Not suppose to be feeling this way on the first day of CNY, but I can't help it. It is saddening to hear of such events.

Should I?

I was thinking, should I help this niece?

When she was first born, there was already a thought to help to look after her but that time, finances do not allow.

This time, opportunity seems to come knocking again, she is already pri 2 this year.

I don't know, I seem to have an affinity with her.

This time, her guardian, husband's aunt, is not well to look after her, this niece's family has no intention to take her back to look after.

From a teacher's point of view, I just want to help a child sincerely, but there is a lot involved, time, finances, attention, energy, many many people including my own children will have to make adjustments, I know it's a big decision, it's not easy.

I Have not really discussed this with spouse, he feels that the niece looks exactly like the mum which is his cousin. He will 95% reject the idea.

I really don't know. I may not discuss with him as I may put off the idea. Probably I'll just let the opportunity pass me by again.

Max is sick

Max has a fever, has a tummy ache, but he badly wants to go to school.

Spent 15 mins talking to him before he agrees not to go to school and let me go to work.

My mum is sick too.

disturbed

when i read the news on a man being jailed for incest with his daughter, i was really really disturbed.

it's an issue of, i really dunno how to say.... ok, maybe this is only one case that was being reported, not to say that i get worried until i get white hair, it's just disturbing to me.
