hmmm, the doc referred me to go and get an x ray done.

yesterday, managed to cook spaghetti for lunch for the children. They complained that they are tired of porridge, so cooked spaghetti for them. marcus and mabel finished the whole bowl and marcus even asked for extra. only max didn't really eat. he only ate the hot dogs.

for dinner, bought pizza for marcus and mabel. italian food for them yesterday.

marcus and mabel can be quite gullible. i told them that i'm happy to see them finish up their lunch as i put in a lot of effort to cook the lunch. i told them that i got to wake up early and go to the market and told them i want to buy milk. then i had to milk the cow to get the milk, then stand in the hot sun and wait for the milk to turn into cheese before i can use the cheese to cook the cheesy sauce for the spaghetti.

mabel was half believing what i say. but marcus was like, 'yah, when u milk the cow, it's really tough, you have to pull like this.'

hmm, anyway, the medication is giving me headaches. i think i'm drowsy. and both my hands are subtly shaking involuntarily. i don't like the feeling.

coughing badly last night. couldn't sleep. hmm, is there any strong cough mixture for my irritating cough?

today, not feeling quite well. been coughing again. tired and mentally pushing myself to go on. now i can feel i'm so exhausted.

marcus and mabel have been good lately, doing homework in the afternoon. last night, marcus did a maths exam paper practice. for a paper whose duration is 1hour 45 mins, he actually took 3 hours 30 mins to do it! omg, like that how to pass?

friday was a very tiring day. i think i slept quite early after i reached home at about 9 plus.

on sat morning, we went for breakfast. for lunch, we went marina square and then we went to brewerkz to spend the afternoon away.

in the evening, we went to the nearby coffeeshop to have dinner. the weather was so hot, all of us felt so hot after the dinner. we came back, we stayed in the room and switched on the air con. i slept at 3 plus as i was glued to the tv programme.

on sunday, as mil was not feeling well, she didn't go to church. so we had breakfast, then sister said that she is cooking arabic dinner. so we again went to brewerkz to have some light lunch and spend the afternoon there. we watched the F1 race live from shanghai at 3pm. it was good fun when everyone watches the race together.

then we went to amk early. mabel helped her yi yi with the dinner. It was a nice meal. filling and it was an eye opener for me, arabic food.

it was a good talk after dinner with sis and auntie gor yee.

so now all ready for another week of work.

mandane, but fulfilling. spending quality time together with family, it just makes all the hard work worth it

today, i'm so tired. physically and probably mentally

though i'm very piss about an incident that happen, i'm not going to blog about it, because as a capacity of a teacher, i don't think it's fair and right to make comment in my blog.

today's weather is erratic, first it was very humid, then it started to pour heavily. the strong gust of wind before the rain is most welcomed.

let me see, the difference between an animal and a human. a human has self discipline, a human knows when to exercise his self discipline. we do not go around hitting people because we are depress or distress or agitated.

sigh, i'm just so disappointed. sometimes i wonder, when a child does something wrong, is it the parents who did not teach properly or is it the school that did not teach properly?

清明时节雨纷纷，
路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有？
牧童遥指杏花村。

i always remember this tang shi as it always reminds me that it is usually raining during qing ming festival.

so have u been on qing ming? what is the real meaning of qing ming for you?

i always believe that when the person is alive, we should already be filial, shouldn't wait until the person die, then start showing more filial. what's the point? is the dead person aware?

but qing ming is also a time for family gathering. u see young and old coming together. sometimes u wonder if the children know the meaning of qing ming?

today i was very kpo. i went to facebook and i read the profiles of my friends' spouses or girlfriends.

What good does it do me? nothing, i was just being kpo.

today at work, i try to be very focus. just focus to get past the day and focus to complete what i wanted to do. feels good, focus.

am tired today. probably been watching the red cliff dvd and red cliff 2 dvd, so am tired today. think i'm going to bed early tonight, cos tml is monday. busy day ahead.

yup, right after i've finished blogging, checking email, reading the news, facebook and twitter, yup, i reckon by the time i finish all these things, i'm going to bed the same time as i usually do, not earlier as i've planned.

How many times do you log in to the internet everyday? i think i spend more time doing all these things. sometimes, hubby says that i spend too much time on the laptop.

well, with so many applications on facebook, blogging is a must every day, checking emails is a must every day, reading news is a must everyday, so i do spend quite a lot of time on the net. actually i've cut down logging into msn and yahoo chat.

didn't bring children to the places as planned. instead this morning, need to go qingming.

so that was about half the day gone. then went down to the tour agency to pay the malacca money. so by the time we ate lunch and came back, i was dead tired and i was sleeping like a dead log!

then sil's family came in the evening, went out for dinner.

tomorrow, need to bring mil to church, she is getting baptised. and tomorrow will most probably plan to go down to test drive the mit lancer ex.

today went to eat roti prata at jalan kayu. It was so crowded. lucky we went there early. for us, as there wasn't much people yet, we could still order our food. but those that come later, i would say that the service was lousy. When people want to order food, they just said wait. one couple even walked off after waiting for 5-10 mins for someone to take their order.

then after that, we came back. then we went down to cycle and carriage again. this time, we asked the salesperson to do a rough calculation again. now we are still discussing.

today is a very hot day and today is a very tiring day.

maybe i took the cough mixture in the morning, hence was a little drowsy.

maybe i'm feeling the blues again, maybe morale has been low recently, that's why get tired easily.

whatever it is, i'm looking forward to the long weekend this week. at least i can spend quality time with my family.

am planning to go marina barrage or labrador park, then dinner at warren. maybe can bring them go swimming too.

just finished redeeming starhub rewards points, so tedious.

today has been a busy day...

max thought that we are not working tomorrow, he was so sad to hear that we are working. he is so cute.

today has been a groggy day. The cough mixture makes one groggy. dun like that feeling.

Max is so cute. He imitates people so funnily. he has this toy car which he can sit inside and push. so he pretends that he goes to work, fetches mil to church, go giant, go petrol station to pump petrol, even pump air in the tyres. then he washes his car.

nowadays, when he sees cars, sometimes he would say sports car. and he usually looks at the behind of the car to see if it's a sports car. i think he is looking at the exhaust pipe. if it's a big exhaust pipe, it's a sports car. i wonder where he get this idea.

I'm filling the ipod touch with lots of applications. Blogging using iPod touch. Feels good. Today brought max to giant after breakfast . In the afternoon brought them to brewerkz. After that brought them to liang court to shop and also borders at wheelock place. The children bought some books. At night went over to mum's place for dinner and kind of finalize malacca trip

went to settle a lot of things in the morning. went to collect max passport. He's so happy to receive his passport.

then went to settle inome tax, then went to the bank.

in the afternoon, went to epicentre at wheelock place to check out the imac or macbook. after calculation, they didn't want to take our trade in, so had to give up the idea. not worth it.

went to big o for lunch. it's been a long time since we went there to eat. the cakes are so nice. mouth drooling. so full, even until dinner time, i'm still very full.

just came back from dinner at east coast. We went there in the early evening. After eating, the children had a good time playing with sand.

so tired today. the weather is so hot.

yes, don't have to wait for june to go holiday.

planned a trip to go malacca this coming labour day. and we have a huge group going. all 9 of us.

well deserved holiday... counting down

i was stuck in the lift yesterday evening!

went into the lift, then this lady walked in. while the door was about to be fully close, she suddenly remembered something and she pressed door open as she wanted to go out. that is when the lift got stuck.

we tried so many things, the door could neither open nor close. and this is the new lift after lift upgrading, with those little windows which we can look out. so we tried pushing the door towards each other to close it tight.

great, the lift moved but only a little then it got stuck. then the alarm was so loud. so we called the hotline.

but it was quite embarrassing as it was evening time and many people were coming home at that time. so they see these 2 ladies stuck inside. but they were very helpful. they asked if we called, we said yes. actually we didn't say, the alarm was so loud, we couldn't hear them anyway. so it was a lot of actions. i had to cover my ears because the alarm was so loud!

come to think of it, i should have taken a picture or taken a video. anyway, that is so not our generation.

luckily, it was only for 15 mins that i was stuck.

later on during dinner, i find out that 3M were very spontaneous in their reactions. i sms dear dear to tell him that i'm stuck, so i would be late. so he came down to take a look. 3M also came out of the house, but didn't follow to the 1st storey. but they were worried.

later when the technician came, dear dear told them that the technician has arrived to rescue mummy, they were on the 10th storey, they stood at the lift lobby, waiting for the lift door to open (there is this other lift that was working) they clasped their hands as if praying like that, waiting anxiously for the lift door to open to see me. when they finally saw me, they ran to hug me.

i asked marcus and mabel why they were so worried. marcus said that he was afraid that i would die. because he was afraid that there was no air in the lift and mabel said that plus, i'm still coughing.

then i asked them what happened if i die like ah zhor. mabel's answer is very pragmatic, coffin, funeral, then burial. marcus' answer was more humane. he said that after the burial, of course, he would think of me every night.

so anyway, i gave them all three a big hug. it was not a big ordeal, but at least i know they cared for me.
