finally, booked for club med phuket. went to natas fair. as i expected, i think all the airline tickets were block book by travel agents. anyway, scout around, and managed to find this travel agent who is friendly and we were able to work out some things. so booked the club med with her.

so 3M, mark in your calendar, 14 june to 18 june. now i can heave a sigh of relief.

next, tomorrow we are going to get the double decker bed for the children. i bet they are excited.

random thoughts for the night

1) check out the newspaper on natas fair, wrote down the booth number to visit. now worried, the cost too high for the whole family to go club med, scared no money to pay, wonder if there is instalment plan.

2) really wish there is flight available, otherwise we may have to call off the holiday plans.

3) the children are playing nintendo wii downstairs. they sound so happy

4) very tired tonight. stayed too late in school

5) brought the kids to eat dinner at coffeeshop, ordered pizza. not too bad. they gobbled down almost everything. the italian guy gave the children another 3 slices FOC.

6) the 9pm show is crap.

7)i need to massage my feet. the muscle feels so tense

8)max was playing and shouting, suddenly, 'sh sh' then he ran to the toilet. ha, he's so funny.

blogging for the sake of writing something.

anyway, it's a thursday, and i'm looking forward to the NATAS fair tomorrow. I sincerely hope that i'm able to make a booking for club med with transportation included.

this is making me worried.

1) i'm on the net since 7pm and it's almost 10pm now. i've been checking on club med, playing guess the sketch and playing geo challenge and pet society. neck stiff.

2) max is sitting beside me and doing silly things like twirling the psp wire and peeping into what i was doing and repeating whatever i say.

3) max just kissed me when i smiled at him.

4) another weight loss advertisement on the tv. so boring.

5) max has been digging his nose and passing me his nose shit. and he doesn't stop calling me until i take the nose shit from him. he makes me want to dig my nose too.

so it has been decided. We decided to bring the kids to club med phuket during the june holidays. reason, it's cheaper than bali.

suppose to go to sleep, but since on the internet, might as well try to beat my score in geo challenge. yeah, finally broke the 7000+, now it's 10000+.

when i saw my score, i was like, i clenched my fist and 'yes'. that satisfaction.

ok, attending a workshop at ishop at cineleisure is cool.

wish i can 'koup' one macbook home. haha, just joking.

they should organise more of such workshops where it's conducted off site. it's really a refreshing change.

how silly of me. meant to do some work on sunday night, but then i copied the wrong folder onto my thumbdrive. so nothing was done.

so now, on a monday morning, have to rush like anything. good luck to me

went to parkway parade (again) today after dropping mil at church. then went to harvey norman because remember the advertisement that today is the last day. but things were quite messy inside though some of the things look attractive to buy. and there was not enough staff to ask for assistance.

in the end, we walked out of harvey norman and walked over to best denkei. it was there and plus the staff's assistance, we bought a pioneer home theatre set for our room, about $379. i guess it's good buy. with hdmi, vcd/dvd, usb, built in fm.

let me see, on saturday, after meet the parent session, went to have lunch at brewerkz. After happy hour, we came back for a nap.

Max was sleeping so he didn't follow us to brewerkz. when he woke up and couldn't find us, he cried.

anyway, the day went on as usual with sister in law and family coming over to our house for dinner in the evening. went out for dinner and the children played nintendo wii after dinner.

just have staff games day... played table tennis and badminton. It was fun though i'm all now sweaty and smelly. let me finish me the last few scripts before going back. tomorrow still have to come back.

so not going to do anything tonight.

i've finally finish my cantonese show.

It was fun watching it together. last night at 11pm, we finally finish the show. would we start on a new show? well, not likely. need a break.

it was really a nice show, i'm sorry, little nyonya must step aside. it's really a lot about kinship. 家好月圆

i have something to confess.

dear dear said thanks to me for taking care of his mother.

my sis in law and her husband also said thanks to me for taking care of mil.

actually i felt that i didn't do that much to be thanked. but nonetheless, accepted and you're welcome.

so monday came and now it's tuesday. day in day out, work work work.

for the past two weeks, been feeling down about work, i'm not sure of my future direction. maybe i'll do this, maybe i'll do that, or even maybe i'll do that. sorry, i dun think i want to explicitly say it here. but as i'm typing, i think i know what are the this and thats.

so a little unsure but surely and slowly, it would become clear. just continue praying.

Max is so funny. he still keeps on singing 'he xin nian, zhu xin nian' even though chinese new year is over. then he goes, 'dong dong chiang, dong dong chiang' just like the lion dance. haha, his actions tickles me.

he is naughty too. he has been slowly invading marcus' toys. so many things that were once marcus' now became his. sometimes even marcus' psp. so that sunday, i bought marcus his 2nd instalment of pokeman vcd.

mabel has been nice to max too, giving in and being a great helper in the family.

sometimes really must be very conscious to be fair to all three of them especially the two eldest one.

i am hooked on cantonese drama serial.

how did it begin? on saturday, when i was at my sister in law's house, my mil brought one disc over to continue watching. It was episode 16. Since there wasn''t much to do, i watched it as well. then i knew i was hooked. it wasn't too difficult to realise who was who, then i was hooked.

that night after we went home, i managed to watch 2 more discs. btw, one disc is 2 hours, 3 episodes long. so that night, i slept at 3am.

on sunday, i started to watch at 8pm. another 2 discs. last night, being a weekday night, i tell myself, only 1 disc... so i started at about 8.30pm and by 1030pm, with the kids in the room, i stopped after one disc.

i never knew i would be hooked in the first place. i always snigger at people who are hooked to korean drama serial or cantonese drama serial. now i know that feeling. and i'm astonished. If the scriptwriter can stop the episode at the appropriate time to make you want to watch the next, this person has done a great job.

you know that feeling, you were engrossed in the show, then suddenly the screen freeze and the words came out, then you go like, gosh and you hit both palms together.

and the show makes you cry! that's what makes watching so exciting

let me see, so many days never update....

sorry, jessica, it totally slipped out of my mind that 14 feb is over. i was trying to recall in class what i did on that day....

in the morning, brought my maid to POSB as she wanted to remit some money home. queued, the form is tedious to hand in, she was not friendly in helping me and it's $30! then went home first, then brought her to Singpost and finally settled. But being a saturday, it was such a long queue.

After that, went back to school for a while. haven't been in school for the past few days due to training, never plan anything for monday's lesson, so felt uneasy. came back to sch, the staff room was so stuffy, so packed a few things to bring home to do.

went to eastpoint for lunch. then when i reached home, it was back to work. then my sis came over to play with 3M. in the evening time, it was to sister in law's house for dinner.

i hope there will be another sales...

nothing much to post lately because has been attending a 3 full day workshop from wed to fri. 9am-5pm.

now i can understand how our student felt, sitting down in the classroom for so many hours, listening to the teacher teach. it's boring! yes, it is.

so now, knowing this, how can i then improve and help them break out from this?

yesterday, succumb to sickness and max's crying and took mc. Actually it was more of max.

He woke up and he started crying. he said that he doesn't want me to go to work, if not he wants to follow me to work. then he just kept on crying without letting me go.

so in the morning, i had a great time with max, playing rayman rabbit with him and then we went for breakfast and he accompanied me to see a doctor.

After we came home, we played psp. but by then, about 12 plus, he was very tired. so he slept in my arms. i quickly took my medicine and soon, i was drowsy and fell asleep too.

I think max woke up at 3 plus and he went downstairs. but i was so knocked out from the effects of the medicine that i just continued sleeping.

this morning, as i prepare myself to go to work, max woke up and he open the toilet door while i was brushing my teeth. his radar system is just so sensitive. I had a hard time trying to discourage him from following me to work.

Then i realised that he doesn't want to go back to sleep, so i let him go downstairs and watch cartoon network. He also want to play the psp. only then, he allowed me to go to work.

so now i'm rushing to finish some of the things in school so that i can quickly go back and play with the children.

thank you for the present

thank you dear dear for the diamond. It was a pleasant surprise. didn't expect you to buy a gift for me. thanks and love you lots, dear.

Wakin concert

Feb 7 is finally the day we go and watch wakin's concert. It has been a long time since we last saw a concert.

we went out while max was taking his afternoon nap. that was the only way we could get out without him tagging along. since it was still early, we went to brewerkz at indoor stadium to have something to drink and later towards the evening, our dinner.

when it was time, we went in. i think it was at least 95% full. so at 8pm, the concert started. It was 4 hours of concert. that feeling of being at the concert, the sound system was great. It was really pleasant and soothing to the ears. Not to mention, good singing from wakin. He also sang some old songs, it was really down memory lane for us.

I love his jokes and his interaction with the fans. the costume is nothing spectacular, but it was his genuine and sincere attitude that makes the concert worthwhile.
