Blackthorn Hill Retreat

Chanced upon this accommodation at Hunter's Valley in New South Wales, I don't know why, i fell in love with this place.
Show you the pictures.




There is a pool. There is this house in this vast land. And imagine your bedroom overlooks the vineyard.


The view



I love the parapet. The alfresco dining. Imagine sitting under the stars.

Phuket - the trip

Some the things that we did:




At the airport


Cute hor?






The swimming


We went to the beach, but i guess we were busy enjoying the waves that we forgot to take pictures.





The food - we cooked some of the meals and ate out on one of the nights.

Phuket - the resort

As usual, let the pictures do the talking.

It's a 4 bedroom villa with your own pool. how cool can that be?

Mana Mana Beach Club at East Coast

To celebrate Kelvin's birthday, Jocelyn actually found this place at East Coast Park. It was really nice. Let the pictures do the talking.

It's actually just beside the beach, very nice, very casual atmosphere, very relaxed, very resort



The children went to play on the beach.




The children are so creative, they made this birthday cake and have the birthday boy (ahem, boy?!?) blow out the candle.


cute little girl, yah, this age, then we say girl



The real cake and eating the cake before we leave the place.

Marcus birthday

Photos are way over due. Mabel's birthday is approaching already.

Hello, my dear blog

poor blog, been forsaken by me like that. Am still busy with many things, unable to blog every day. or simply, no mood to blog?

was all ready to update a few posts. then realized there is new interface, there is new design, so many things to handle and balance at one time. It's like balancing many balls in both hands, then when 1 ball falls, that's it, it spoils your mood to balance the balls anymore.

but i'll grit my teeth and update as i can foresee myself being busy again.

No updates

Sorry, been aves since I update blog.

Been busy. Hence will post a few photos soon, hopefully.

Bought Printer

It's been more than a week since I blog. That's very unusual of me.

Anyway, been thinking of a printer. Then comex! So after some research, went to comex after tuition and bought a printer.

As my tweet summarize, I came, I saw, I bought and I'm out of comex. Less than half an hour.

There was no parking, I had to park at Singapore flyer, actually there was parking, about 25 lots at millennia walk, but too dangerous to turn left suddenly. So parked at Singapore flyer. I think the walk was good exercise for me. I was just worries how I'm going to carry the printer and walk back to Singapore flyer.

Luckily, they provide trolley. So after buying, I just slowly walked back to the car.

I think I'm a crazy woman.

dreaming of grandma

for two times this month, i've dreamt of grandma. And both dreams are on her funeral.

ok, i know, it's the hungry ghost festival this month.

Children

Why do parents bring children to the world? Look ma, I'm suffering, I'm not happy.

If I die now, I only worry about my 3 children. I'm sorry to bring you to this world to suffer. There r no more laughter, just worries, stress, sorrow, deceit and lies.

Children is the greatest gift? They are, they were, probably my source of motivation. But at times like this, they become the worry, the thing I can't let go.

Some unhappy couples remain married for the sake of the children. I'm not blaming my children, I blame myself for bringing them to this world.

Of marriage and divorce

Why do two people hold on to the promise of 'till death do us apart'? If both are not happy in the marriage, why must we wait until death to do us apart?

For youngsters, they pack and leave house, we say they run away from home. Can a spouse do likewise, run away from home?

Dear god, please give me the courage to go. I don't care in what ways, be it I pack and go, be it I die, I just want to go.

all of us are sick

All of us, 3M and myself, we all fall sick. Started with Max first, then it passed to me on saturday, remember my thermometer picture?

Then last night, mabel and marcus, both had sore throat and mabel was running a fever.

This morning Marcus actually went to school but he had a fever so i went to school to fetch him.

All four of us went to see the doctor and the doctor gave all of us 2 days MC.

so is this call in sickness or in health, we go through this together as mother and children? haha

On being ill

Who says you can't bathe when sick? Feels so much fresher after bathe. When you don't bathe, you just feel, well, so sick.

baking cookies

Mabel, Marcus and Max baked cookies today. They got the ingredients themselves and did the baking themselves. I think the domestic helper did help them a bit with the mixing of ingredients.

Well, looks like they enjoyed baking.

gym

For a very long time, today i decided to go to gym, reason because i've been getting leg cramps recently, just so sudden like that, no reason, while i was walking.

Started to work out slow, ran on the treadmill, then do some exercise on the machine. While i was doing some exercises, a group of about 5-6 men, (btw, i was the only one working out in the gym) came into the gym, i think one guy was selling gym machines, so they all came in to look at the gym machines.

So pai seh sia, i mean the awkward feeling, moreover, this is like after a period of so many months, first time i went back to the gym, i met this group of men. Well, it just feels weird that while you were working out, there is a group of people, watching. Plus, i not professional, so pai seh.

Husband and wife

Was looking at some old photos, am just wondering, life is weird. I mean, how did we end up with the person we are with now? is it fate?

I mean, so many people came into our life, some people had a few boyfriends or girl friends before they got married, so why this person you choose to marry? is it fate?

on the other hand, there are some people whose paths you will cross later in your life, then how? why did fate bring both of you to cross path and yet can't be together?

I don't understand life.

booking airline tickets online

Sorry, I just have to compare between zuji and Misa travel.

I've heard stories of nightmare of trying to book airline tickets online on zuji. Many years ago, I personally had a bad experience and i never really got my refund back even though they told me that cancellation of tickets is $50.

Hence, I was apprehensive about booking airline tickets again online. After some googling, i found MISA travel. Hoenstly, i had a pleasant experience with MISA travel. They did not ask me for money first. After i keyed in the details online, they sent me an email for me to confirm.

After I made some changes to the flight details, they replied back (it was very quick reply). It was like it was instantaneous respond and they assigned a travel agent to your booking, hence, she was able to respond to my emails very fast.

After you have confirmed the details, they sent you modes of payment details, i could do bank transfers, i could pay by credit card or go down to their office to make payment, the idea i'm trying to put across is, there are many methods of payment modes i can choose from.

After i've done the bank transfer, capture a screen shot and gave the banking reference number, i emailed the agent these details.
Almost an hour later, i got another email from her, asking me to check the details again before the ticket is issued as no changes can be made after the ticket is issued. The idea is they let you check before issuing the ticket.

I replied after checking the details and confirmed. Almost like another hour later, I got the e-ticket via email. It's fast and efficient.

I truly had a pleasant experience with MISA travel. I would strongly recommend to other people. I would strongly go back to MISA again.

update

A quick post before i start the day.

1) Marcus celebrated his birthday on 8 Aug with a small birthday party, asking a few classmates and his teacher to our house. Adrian invited his cousins. Will post pictures asap.

2)National Day - brought kids to escape theme park and met up with Kelvin and family. The children had a good time playing on the rides and Marcus and Mabel went on the viking 7 times, until Marcus felt dizzy at the end of the 7th time. It was a hot day that day.

This was followed by dinner at ang mo kio.

3) 3M asked Yee Yee to come to our house on Wednesday evening.

4) Max has the fever and running nose. probably from the sun on Tuesday and cheetos potato chips on Wednesday evening! well, i was supposed to buy for him on Monday, but until Wednesday, he told yee yee that i promised to buy on marcus' birthday but now marcus' birthday over already, i still haven't buy, so the yee yee had to help me fulfill my promise.

Hee, for snitching on his mum, max fell sick..... hahahahaha

anyway, think i'm getting the virus from him, my throat is starting to feel itchy.

Prayer

God, please give me strength, day to day, to be emotion less, to b void of feelings so that I don't feel hurt or hurt others.

optimism and pessimism

I believe a pessimistic person will have a tinge of optimism in them. likewise, an optimism person will have their pessimistic moments.

Motivational gurus tell us to look at things positively. I mean i totally agree that we should be positive and optimistic. But there are times when an optimistic person will also face a moment of pessimism. It is a matter of how fast the person can turn over and cheer up again.

I believe the factors that helps or hinders a person from turning a pessimistic moment to optimistic moment are:

1) energy. It takes a lot of self talk and energy to look at things from the positive side. Imagine a dying person who could still laugh when all those around them are crying, do you know how much energy and determination is involved? So it helps if you still have energy, it's quite fast to turn things over and smile again. But try it when you out of energy, especially after a day of work, say, like going home, something bad happened and try turning it over and smile again, trust me, it really zaps up your last bit of energy and sometimes, worse, you may be defeated and get into a spiral of downward unhappiness.

2) events. Depending on the magnitude of the events, it's a direct relationship. The bigger the event, the longer it takes for you to cheer up again. Depending on the number of events, again it's a direct relationship. The more the events for you to try to turn it over to cheer up, the longer it takes for you to turn each subsequent event around and smile again.

makes sense?

raining so heavily

sigh, raining so heavily. it coincides with my down and heavy feeling. God is not helping me, i'm trying very hard to recollect my feelings and move on....

I think God has a bigger picture, the rain brings relief to the hot weather that we were experiencing for the past few days. The rain helps people to cuddle together as they seek shelter under the same umbrella. The rain waters the plants that are dying of thirst. The rain makes people curse and swear but it makes them learn to be patient while they drive, learn not to be frustrated when they are drenched.

God has a bigger picture, i should not complain and think only of my own small inconvenience.

will want to have a Busy Day

Today is 4 August... time passes so fast....

will keep myself busy today and keep my mind busy and off from other things.

Will collect my emotions and try to be normal today.

i will miss you

Dear Faye Faye,

i wonder how u feel now, i wonder where u are now. how is rainbow bridge? i can see that you are well again, happy and running around, no more suffering, no more pain.


I will always remember your unconditioned love to us. When you were younger, you always scolded for being too noisy, barking when people come to the house or when u did not pee properly on the newspaper. But no matter how u were scolded, you will always be there for us, wagging your tail when we come home.

You have car sick, it was so difficult to bring you even to see a dog or for grooming. I also remembered you had ingrown nails.

At ang mo kio, there was a morning, i must have been drunk, i slept on the kitchen floor, i knew u were beside me all the way, looking after me.

it saddens me to see you deteriorating in the past few months when i went ang mo kio. No, i shall not recall those days.

In my mind, you will always be a energetic, lovable and lovely Faye.

Love you and remembering you always

Just sad

Turbulence of feelings going through, i didn't know how to blog.

Suppose to be happy and looking forward to a short working week next week and Marcus birthday. But somehow, many thing happen this week.

I just can't lift up my spirits, so can I be officially sad, emo for this week? Dun cheer me up.

rainbow bridge and faye

it is raining now and the sun is still shining brightly. Someone said, there will be rainbow.

It reminds me of rainbow bridge that Ser said and of course, i thought of Faye. I don't know if this is a sign. But whatever the outcome, we want the best for her, for her not to suffer.

Yes, it is painful to let go of something so dear to you. But think of it this way, the pain you are suffering now is small as compared to the suffering she had to go through. So, it's difficult to let go and it's painful, but for her, you have to do it. When she is at rainbow bridge, she will be alright and fine again.

Max

Max had some music performance today in school. Adrian went to watch. Later, I will be seeing the pictures that he took of Max.

Max is musically inclined.

Mabel

yesterday, mabel called home at 330pm and said she was on her way back. Almost 5pm, she was not back yet. When she came back, I started to question her.

I asked her if she had detoured to the playground while on her way back. Her first reaction, she shook her head. I asked the same question again, she shook her head again. I asked her the third time, then she said yes.

I was angry with her for making people worried and worst of all, she did not admit her mistake. She tried to cover up her mistake.
I gave her a very lecture.

Today, she called me at 430pm using her friend's house telephone and asked me if she could go to her friend's house. I asked her back, where she was. She told me at a friend's house. I told her that she already decided to go and went to her friend's house already, why on earth does she have to ask me if she can go to her friend's house? never mind, i let her. she told me she will be back before 6pm.

Just before 6pm, her friend called me, told me they still have some homework to do, she will go back before 630pm. Later, her friend called again and asked if mabel could have dinner there, i disapproved. Minutes later, her friend called again and told me her mum had cooked extra, i insisted on bringing Mabel back.

just one word, angry and disappointed with her. Yes, the homework was all done but the way she handled the situation was not satisfactory. As i was typing the blog, i was thinking, why didn't i told her no she can't go to her friend's house and insist that she return home straight away? i was too soft. and i think Mabel knows this, that's why she called me and didn't call Adrian.

silly me

This morning during silent reading, i was reading reader's digest on this article.

30 something year old Australia man, has a wife, has a toddler. But he's an adventurous man. He loves kayaking, mountain climbing etc. He had this dream, the most selfish and riskiest one (according to him) to kayak alone from Australia, Tasmania to New Zealand. But he did not reach his destination, his kayak was found, but his body was not.

I cried. cried because when he left, his son was crying for him, shouting for him as he kayak away from the shore. cried again when i saw the pic of the crying son being carried by the mother, waiting in New Zealand as the search team was conducting the search. It was so painful.

As a woman, i wondered, why didn't the wife stop him? In fact, knowing his love for adventure, she did not stop him from fulfilling his dream despite knowing that she may lose him. Indeed, this thing happened in 2007, i wondered how she survived these 4 years. It must have been devastating. I wonder if i can be as understanding as the woman.

Recently, adrian made me dig out the old vcd and lend it to Kelvin. The storyline of that movie and the song has been circling in my head these few days. That's why my blog yesterday. People only regret when they lose something precious, then having to live through the memories and wishing the person was alive or time can be turned back.

can't change the past, only you can decide on your future.

Realization

Suddenly just realize, life is unpredictable, ate there things that you have not done and if today were your last day, would you regret not doing it?

So treat every day as if your last, live life to fullest. Dont regret u have not done what u want to do.

Was listening to 再说一次我爱你, then the realisation came to me.

What a morning

This morning, I had to bring max to see a doc, then bring him to school as he has photo taking and then bring him home again.

So we went to coffeeshop to have breakfast, ate vegetarian bee hoon, siew Mai and har kao. Max liked the har kao and I bought another 'long' for him.

Then went to the usual family doc but he was closed. 1015am. So had to go yo another clinic. Waited so long for our turn though there are only 3 people in front of us. 2 patients took a long time.

The sky turned darker and darker. By the time we finished wif the doc, it's 11am and max starts school at 1130am.

An it was pouring heavily!!!! We had no umbrella. So in the end, I kept my phone in max's pocket and then I carried him and quickly made our way home.we were both totally drenched.

Once reached home, alamak! Windows not close, whole sofa drenched. Went up to room, whole floor wet, luckily window near study table was closed.

Then quickly bathe max and helped him change. I didn't have time to bathe, I just changed a dry art of clothes and off we went. Left at 1122am. Ok, still can make it, not very late.

And I had to be careful not to speed as it was raining. Better late than never.

Reached school at 1138am. Just nice. Now waiting for max's class to take photo and can go home.

My hair is still wet and I hope I dont catch a cold.

This is so funny

You know you are on the laptop and in your virtual world too much when your colleagues think that you are talking about gardening but virtual gardening.

One of my periwinkle plant actually withered despite watering my plants every morning. So I googled this morning to find out more. This is what i found:

Vinca or Periwinkle will grow in range of light conditions, from full sun to shade. They will do well in average soils. They are both heat and drought tolerant. This makes Vinca ideal in hot, dry parts of the country where other flowers will wither and wilt.

The plant is heat and drought tolerant, no wonder, i'm killing my plant by overwatering.

Hence, upon realization, i made a loud exclamation, and naturally my colleagues were curious, so i told them what happened. The first question they asked me is whether i'm talking about gardening virtually. I was like laughing out loud. If it's virtual gardening, i would not even bother to google, just let the plant die.

I said, this is real gardening, that's why need to google. Everyone thought i was talking about virtual gardening!!! That's so funny.

Parents

Why do parents keep the truth from their children? Is it out of goodwill or concerned that their children cannot take it?

The truth hurts. Can the children handle the truth? can they handle the ugly truth?

Can the truth be hidden forever?

Cars

Damn it, activate my abs again.

Nissan car drivers cannot drive!!!!. Slow and too careful. Filtering out halfway, then decide, forgot to stop and give way, just stop suddenly. What the hell!!!

Then yet another Nissan car, so slow, when I overtake, buay song, then tailgate me.

Pain

There are different kinds of pain, some pain, short, just have to shout it out and the pain is over.

Some pain, it lingers in your heart. It does not go away, you thought it was gone, but sometimes, it comes back again. Then it hurts.

Some pain, u cannot say, u have to keep it in your heart. The reason for keeping in your heart is it's best this way so that the other party is happy. When the other party is happy, u will be happy for the person, so u got to bear this pain alone.

scolding 3M

Yesterday was like day of scolding children.

Started with marcus, he said he was tired and didn't want to have chinese tuition and even called me halfway through his tuition and cried, i just put down the phone. So after dinner, (he was sleeping when i reached home), I had a talk with him. I showed him the article of the recruit trying to swim away from Tekong (btw, what was the recruit thinking about?) I asked him a lot of why questions. Why do you think he did that? Why do you think he is stressed?

I related the article to his present situation, he is like the recruit, he has to face his academic drills every day, he feels stressed, so he is thinking of how to escape all these. I told him, his behaviour is giving me a signal that he is escaping. Anyway, I told him to think of his own solution, if his solution is not deemed mature, i will overwrite it and come out with my solution for him. I told him, in the eyes of law, children aged 14 and below are deemed as immature to make a sensible decision.

Hence, i gave him 2 options: A) assessment + homework daily, stressed, deal with it happily and get his entertainment. b) assessment+homework daily, no entertainment even after completing. Sleep since he says he's tired.

So he chose A.

I also kind of like taught him to deal with stress, mind over body. He will need follow up and monitoring. Gosh, why do i feel like i am diagnosing Marcus?

Next, max. While i was lecturing marcus, he took the marker and drew on the study table. When marcus wanted to tell me, he pulled marcus t-shirt and started crying. Since he was naked and going to bathe, i get him and mabel to finish up their bath first.

As usual, he was crying buckets as i was scolding him, (wonder if he listened to what i was saying) i was angry with him because
1) he knew i would scold, yet he continued to do it, it didn't stop him from doing it
2) there are proper materials for him to draw if he wants to
3) he made his sister wrote things on the drawer
4) he tried to cover up when i found out.

as for mabel, i chided her for not using her judgement. She knew it was wrong and yet she did it after being persuaded to do it. As an elder sister, she didn't stop max from doing it and even helped him. I told mabel, her actions is signalling me a dangerous sign which i explained to her.

as for max, last night, he got his first caning from me. 1 stroke on the hand. and the funny thing is, he was crying and bargaining on his punishment. i asked him to choose, hand or buttock. he said no, i realise, children at his age only makes decision that benefit themselves.

So i literally had to use force to make him open up his right palm, he wanted to close the palm, i said no. I told him, he drew on my walls and sofa before, i did not really scold him, this incident is too much, my limit, is unacceptable. so i get him to steady his hand, then he blurted out, 'cannot beat so painful' I almost burst out laughing, but i controlled. so whacked.

needless to say, he cried even louder. i feel so much wanting to step up to hug him, but cannot. After beating, i walked away from the room. Let the other adult go and sayang and reinforce the discipline.

Choice

We all know that we have a choice. Is there a situation whereby we really don't have a choice?

Why do people say that they do not have a choice? When people are forced to do something they don't want to do, so they say they have no choice? Or is it people are comfortable with what they have now and don't want to change, so they say they have no choice?

L.O.V.E

Love isn't blind or deaf or dumb - in fact it sees far more than it will ever tell. It is going beyond yourself and stretching who you are for someone else.
My comment: yah, really stretching yourself to the limits and at times even breaking yourself down.


Being in love entails seeing someone as you wish they were: to love them is to see who they really are and still care for them. Love isn't bitter, but you can't have love without pain: sacrifice is the hallmark of love , the coin of love.
My comment: how true, love entails sacrifice. How many people can really love your significant others for who he is and not change him?


Being in love usually is used in a romantic sense when you meet your significant other transforming a normal relationship into a deeper one without further interest in others.
Love means that you trust the person, would do anything for the person, know that person is with you through thick and thin, isn't afraid to be seen with you. make sure they treat you right.
My comment: i like the part about isn't afraid to be seen with you.

Love is a strong feeling that represents affection toward someone dear to you heart.
My comment: true true true x 100


The meaning of love is prolonged mutual protection. Love is real when it is found. It is free when it is grasped. Can you tell with a kiss? Love is the magic/mutual in a kiss. There is no magic in a kiss if there is no love/mutual within it. A kiss with magic has no forced for love makes it gentle. There is no magic in just a lip kiss. Love has a different kiss. Some kisses are only stolen breaths. If you need to ask: "is this love" then the Answer is: "no" for when/if it ever happens you will know. Ravonseed.
My comment: wa, cheem, love and kiss.


Love is when you are certain that you love someone, and then you think you love someone else, then you both realize that you could never live without each other
My comment: someone once asked, is it better to live with the one you love or live without the one you love.

The true meaning of love is found in the word "unconditional". Loving someone through their flaws and all. Accepting and embracing each others differences and compromising with their offerings.
My comment: yes, unconditional. if it's calculative, i guess, it's not love.

Pattern

Noticed on the first night before the first day of work, i would usually sleep at 1 plus. The following night, i would sleep at 12 plus. The following night, i would sleep at 11 plus and so on. So since last night i slept at 1am, tonight, i should be able to sleep by 12 midnight.

Farmville

been breeding pigs in the game farmville. ha, it's definitely much easier than raising up children!!!!

Mabel

Mabel's been scolded twice this week for her behavior that is becoming more and more unacceptable.
It's sad and disappointing.

Been going through assessments with two of them individually this week and it's tiring, it's like giving tuition to your own kids, i can spend 1 and half hour with each of them. so i claim my tuition fee from their father?

I told Mabel, one more time, she will get the caning from me.

this morning, gave them a pep talk in the car. dunno, tired.... parenting is never an easy job.
