i was lost in my life for awhile. trying to get it under control again.

theres so much to tell, so much to say n so much to share during my absence. i've learnt lots.

i miss everyone. i really do...

whee~ i'm so up-to-date can. haa... got e blogging bug. lols... =)

juz got back nt too long ago fr dinner at dragon phoenix restaurant at river valley rd. bing jie jie or stella or auntie lala treated for ah di impeding farewell.

she introduced us to her bf today. she has a daughter fr her 1st marriage. so glad she found smeone nice. e guy called eric looks ok. =)

e yu sheng was fantastic. 100 times better dan e one we ate last nite.

understand fr eric (his in e f&b line helping ppl set up their f&bs business) tat e cook in dis restuarant is famous lor. one of e si da tian wang. *geez*

e chicken wasnt too bad too but e rest of e food tasted normal. like a wedding dinner type of std. its full hse so guess their std is those mass cooking n when its mass cooking, e std is so-so. there werent much shark fin in e shark fin n i oni tasted e tau ge. e abalone were soft (i din ate tat coz busy feeding regan but dad commented). e mushrms were avg. e fried fish was too hard. e dessert, red bean soup wif lotus, wasnt sweet enuff.

hmmm... overall 'hum hum' la. haa... its my dad's slang for saying its nt bad but nt tat great. oni e yu sheng was gd. it was a set dinner menu but e mix of food isnt nice. i like e menu e nxt table was eating. haha... i v kaypo one. they had steam fish n prawns. look so yummy can. better dan ours. but then again, its a free dinner so i shldnt complain. =P

apologies if u c sme pics of empty bowls. keke... coz i was devouring e food so quickly tat i forgot to take e pic till i had finished. yes, though e food wasnt tat nice but i'm a glutton ma. =D

anyways, eric rope in dar's help to drive a 12ft vehicle wif 8 stops fr 9am to 5pm (i tink) for charity drive tat hes organizing.

hes v in into cycling. a cycling enthusiastist. goes cycling every other day. even cycle all e way to upp bt timah hill for its track (i heard he stays near my cousin but i forgot my cousins rd name. its those new tall hdb blks near little india-kk hospital tat part of sg) fr morn like 9am to nite type on saturdays. kinda crazy lor i tink.

plus he dun look tat fit. haha... he look a teeny fat wif a potbelly. a typical uncle esp hes in e f&b biz so wif his potbelly v qualified. lols... =)

yup, so he always organizes cycling expeditions n blah blah blah. dis particular in may is for e snr citizens hme in toa payoh. hoho... poor dar. but its for a gd cause so cannt reject. =D 'dear, ji de la hor.'

well, had a mini farewell celebration for ah di yesterday wif juz us - mom, dad (e 2 of dem din really participate, went out to bai nian after their own steamboat dinner), me, dar, regan, mei, di, cal n jianglin.

feeling quite furnee in my heart tat hes leaving for oz dis coming fri. 'will miss u lots lor bro!'

its his 1st long trip fr hme. all of us seldom travel wif frens or wat. i tink ah di oni went on a cruise once wif his frens. n other dan ns, hes nv away fr hme. even ns is in sg. nw hes gg to a place where we cant access to him by car. =S shld tink mom gg to b e 2nd most upset ba. precious elder son gg away for 9 mths to study. 1st is u noe who la.

ah di quite poor ting can. me n ah mei decided on e date n ting we wld b doing. but he got to buy his own food n pay for it too. haha... but i was e driver can. see i did my part.

it was a nice bbq dinner wif all e foods we like. yummy can. so so so yummy in fact. i love my bbqs like tat.

we had cheese hotdogs (fr je mkt, its damn cheesy lor, e cheese will juz ooze out one), taiwan sausages (we tried a new flavour - black pepper, nt bad), crabstick (normal), hotdogs (normal - cal wanted to it tat, haha... 'cal, i muz emphasize'), prawns (big n juicy), 500g tat is worth $8.10 bacon strips rolled wif jin zhen gu (my invention, v nice lor, ask cal. haha... but i learned it fr smeone else la. *bleahz*), satay (nt bad but i'm nt a satay lover), fish tofu (so-so, tasted nicer e other time tat i bought), shitake mushrooms (v nice can, i did it 1st time, marinated it wif sme ssmi oil n soy sauce), kiao (those hat look-a-like tats meant for steamboat but its damn nice bbq-ed till crispy, got e idea when i went marina south for its steamboat n i fried tat using e teppanyaki part) n sme leftovers fr e steamboat like scallops (so sweet), bao bei (taste gd bbq-ed), meat balls ('so cal, e chilli meat balls nice?') n sotong (so shiok wif e chilli n lime).

oh ya, theres dis fish tat dad bought at cold storage when he went to buy sme red wines n wan to bbq-ed. but when he got hme after bai nian dun wan to eat le. duh. make me marinate n bbq-ed for nothing. haa... but ok la, nt much work anyways.

we lo hei too. dad n mom din join. mom wans to slp n dad says he brush his teeth. can re-brush rite. =P so we lo ourselves lor. but it din taste good. we did it for e fun. hee... =)

i did e washing up n ah mei scrubbed e flrs. yes, we clean ourselves. we dun trouble e maid ok. keke... n e guys r njoying themselves playing games n blowing aircon in e living rm. *geez* slavery.

one of e pic shows cal tormenting e labbit by putting a pc of vege on its head tat it cant get rid of no matter hw hard he shake or move or reach. evil ger rite. lols... but dollars is cute la. he was trying so hard tat its so furnee.

e last pic shows e food we haf left. we usually finished it all. even if we r bloated till we r going to burst, we wld bbq all den play games n eat it all. haha... it works ok. den no leftovers. me n ah mei were enthusiastic supporters of dis but ah di anti-social la. dun wan. so we had to keep e leftovers. prawns ok. tinking of it nw makes me hungry all over. bbq-ed big n juicy prawns. YUMMY! =9

i tink our nxt bbq might b christmas when hes back. nt tat fun bbq-ing when its nt full hse. though we said everyone's bday dis yr shall b a bbq. haa... but ah di one we din coz dad was complaining we bbq too much. we did it on christmas eve. new yr's day. n ah di bday was on 17th so its like 3 bbq within 2 wks so dad objected.

hes leaving for oz on 18th. so fast time flys.

'i'm going to miss u alot alot bro. take care when u r there ok. no casino. no drugs. no OTHER gers (said tat on behalf of cal). anyting call me anytime.'

hmmmm... my title makes me wonder if i'm doing e rite ting in my life. =S

anyways, dis morn got regan ready for sch n got to sch as usual only to realise tat today no sch. its one of their designated sch closure days. =(

e best part was i accepted a relief teaching assignment at cck pri oni to call dem back to say i cant. sighs... worrying if they wld ever call me again for kinda flying their aeroplane. though i did say if they cant find anyone, i can still go. but they sure can find smeone la. its gd money ma.

so hang ard at my mom's hse in morn cleaning out e labbit's cage. den sent ah di to zhenghua posb to do a new atm card tat he had lost for ages (as of today, he has found e old card, he dropped it in dad's car but mom whom found it nv pass to him, so hes kinda pissed he had to pay $5 for nothing, haha... well, its a lesson. b mre careful nxt time), jianglin to c doc (played truant) n i went to bt panjang plaza to alter my levis. duh. i juz bought it n nw got to alter coz its so loose.

i got 27 but i shld haf bought 26. last chked, my waist oni 25 ok. yay. haha... =) anyways, i din try 26 which i wanted to coz e shop was so crowded n e ger was quite attitude (rem i wanted to try 593?). so nw i'm regretting i din abuse my consumer rites. e shop at bt panjang plaza earns big money doing alterations to tell me they r closed for alterations till chu ba n nw oni accept orders for alterations so i can oni collect nxt wed. *geez*

went to pick ah di n jianglin up whom were done after tat to go to e petshop to change dollars newly bought leaky waterbottle but alas it was closed. wanted to buy his food too coz its running low.

so rushed back to mom's hse before going to nearby coffeeshops to get lunch for dar. most of e stalls r still close can. =( went to 2 coffeeshops before found smeting tat he likes to eat. was at dis tse char stall at 1st tat was opened but dun wan my biz. say they too busy n ask me go back at 3pm (it was 2pm then). duh... died of hunger by then lor.

drove dar to work n picked up ah di again coz he wans to use e car to go cal's hse. took a nice nappie. hee...

boring 3rd day actually. went my partner's hse after dinner. at 1st dad wan to go da gu (his elder sister) hse but she was nt hme. it was ray's 7th bday. opppss.. i din noe so i din get him anyting. they were playing sparklers when we got there so regan joined in e fun.

had sme minor discussions before going hme. dar was back by then. =) hes considered early today but i got hme at like 10.30pm. hee...

wkend coming up. nice. though it doesnt makes a difference to me. haa... ;D

i'm using dis pics as my wallpaper so i feel so refreshed everytime i on my lappy n c it.

dis pics r simply so beautiful. its taken by rac n nt those taken by professional cams ok. i mean a amatuer person using a normal canon digital cam can take e pics till so amazingly beautiful, i tink e place muz b so heavenly breathtaking.

but e brighter pics of e same place doesnt look as nice. it muz b e lighting n all. coz she esp woke up before dawn to go there n dis pics r taken juz after sunrise so u c there r so many colours in e sky.

sea breeze, cool wind, gentle waves n rising sun rays. i really wish i can b there rite dis v min.

we woke up LATE. it was v v v LATE.

missed gg to my ah ma hse last yr n dis yr. 2 consecutive yrs. went to my ah e hse straight. its so packed. ate lunchie there too. dis yr all e cousins were there! miracle. coz usually sme nv go or go at different times. but we all met up dis yr n i insisted on taking a pic. we used to play so wildly together when we were small but nw everyone grow up n apart.

den go ah gu (mom's bro n my godpa n godma) hse to sit sit awhile. shld haf ate there. got fried bee hoon n it looks nicer. ah e hse nt bad la but hor i tink nt so hygenic. haha... coz a lot of ppl eat there den its nt buffet style. its those like u eat at hme type lor. anyways, eat liao try nt to tink abt it else i feel disgusted might puke. i'm v prone to puking u noe as i'm kinda anorexic. i can juz puke at my command. haha... =P

nxt stop dar's ah ma hse. dis yr is late so nt many ppl left. time really flys smetimes. it oni seem yesterday e last time, which was a yr ago btw, i was there.

last stop andrew's hse. suppose to stay longer. but jovan was fighting wif regan over e ltd toys there so it was so noisy tat dar was pissed coz pam n yf (his parents) werent doing anyting much fr controlling jovan to play fair so decided to leave after awhile n go hme. =(

put regan to bed early coz he was exhausted. din take his nap.

den dar went to ta bao kfc for dinner. =9 they haf e shrooms burger meal for $2.55 which is a bargain. but dar bought e ba bao he in e end. coz he wan to eat zinger n e chicken. greedy. haha...

i din go many places dis yr on e sme day. rem last yr i went estee n char hse too. muz c when can slot in n go le. i did our itinery today fr 8am to 6pm ok. but coz we woke up at 11.30am ._." so cut short. anyways dar saw my itinery face oso black coz he wans to slp. so sad rite. cny comes once a yr ma. wan to slp got so many sundays, alt saturdays, offdays n other public holidays. i was upset. v upset in fact. sighs... *wails*

well, cme nxt yr i'll wake up early n go where i wan n planned. if he wans to slp he can slp ALL he wans. i wun b angry. its his choice. but i wan to make my choice too.

was at dap's blog n she was collecting orders for abercrombie's stuff so i visited e online store n chk out their latest collections. sighs... so nice can. if oni i'm working. sure sure sure BUY BUY BUY!

i tink its a great store but really wonder y sg dun carry e brand. was juz discussing wif dap tat can bring in dis lor. i mean most of its clothes looks nice. its big in us but y sg dun haf. it can b e nxt big ting like mango n zara. though its rather pricey but dap says it qlty is superb.

anyways, i love e skirts, dresses, slpwear, short n bikini i picked out. any sponsor? =)

1st day of rooster yr. we woke up later dan usual cny days lor coz dar lazy can. he hates bai nian coz he dun haf dis habit since young but for me i wake up damn early type den go so many places one.

changed in new clothes n went out. his mom's hse 1st den my er gu hse for lunch den dad's hse before heading hme for afternoon nap. oni 3 places. =P

rem before i get married, wld haf visited like 8 hses in e morning. n every yr is liek a deja vu coz at e sme day n approximate sme time we wld b doing e same ting except e ppl r older.

den head to da bo (dad's eldest bro) hse for bbq dinner. he was 'nice' to host a bbq dinner can. a 1st. coz hes v well-known for his misery ways. oopppssie... *bleahz* oh well, its no secret anyway. haha... so furnee can coz in e afternoon at er gu hse, my san shen n xiao gu was in kitchen talking softly amg e 2 of them abt who is da bo is inviting, if he invite her or him or us or them or whoever so e rite persons wld appear. i mean so embarrassing to appear uninvited rite. den i stumbled upon their conversation n was luffing lor. den before da bo went back to prepare e food, he announced loudly at e door 'later c ALL of u ar?' haha... so mystery solved. everyone's invited. den i turn to dem n say 'ok la, all invited, dun need stress liao.' keke... =D

e food was nt v nice la. they had home-made satay which was too dry n chunky, dory fish in banana leaf which tasted like otah, mixed sausages which were e nicest n prawns which is too small n prawnish (wanted to say fishy but its nt fish). i went late as usual. most had already eaten. i din eat much nor dar. regan dun really eat bbq food so he was juz playing wif e younger kids running ard.

went hme n watched du sia. i watched till i fell aslp. but dar n regan completed e whole show. 'ge wei guan zhong, 5 tiao yan!' haha... its v hilarious la.

so cute rite!

dis adorable little labbit is born in clementi at one of e pet shops but its origins fr oz n it cost like $400+. place of birth 'clementi' so furnee oso rite. considered local but nt local. like those ang moh children who r born in singapore like tat. =D

i'm currently using dis pic as my msn photo. ah mei is wishing dollars go up west sky soon so she can get new one. evil rite. haha...

dollars putting on sme weight already. i've been religiously combing its fur so it wun matt esp his back part else we cant find his tail again as it clumps up into a flat pc of fur like a mini pc of carpet.

cny eve. BOO!

brought dollars for his grooming session in e morn. n he was in such bad shape tat he was there for like 5 WHOLE hrs can. he had to b dematt strand by strand. nw his buttock area is bare. hes still so afraid of us. so poor ting. hope he warms up soon. no pt getting jumpy on us ma. which apparently, i dun tink he understands. haa...

den went to get sme pet stuffs for him too. a new food bowl, water bottle n bag of hay. haha... heard its for his fibre needs. good life rite. keke... soon it wld b rabbit vitamins. =P wanted to change new notes but out-of-stk at bt panjang plaza uob so after sending ah di hme to eat his lor mee breakie, headed to clementi dbs to find estee lor. no need to q ma. haha... 'thks lei woman!'

go back to e pet shop to chk on dollars but hes nt ready yet so went hme to do sme cleaning, change bedshts n for regans nap. later at nite so grouchy during e reunion dinners ma.

went mil hse to eat at abt 7pm. kinda late dis yr. its a vegetarian steamboat coz my sil is a vegetarian. den pop over to mom hse at abt 9.30pm for e 2nd rd of steamboat dinner wif all e scallops, abalone, sea cucumber, fishballs n blah blah blah. but nt excited la except mayb on e abalone. coz every other wk eat steamboat. i always complain mom prepare steamboat so often till when its cny i dun get excited abt it at all. nt like when i was small, look forward to eat reunion dinner at my ah ma hse coz its steamboat dinner. last time its those charcoal steamboat smemre. got mre 'flavour' lei. =)

after dinner, dad starts distributing ang pows. so sad. i thot parents suppose to give to all children one regardless married anot wat. i dun haf lor. *wails* regan got his share. jealous. wish i'm a kid all over again. *bleahz*

din slp till 4am coz i still got tons of hsework. mop e flr, wash e toilets, fold clothes (so many pcs can, accumulated over 2 wks i tink) n prepare my red pkts. its shrinked dis yr coz i'm nt working. nxt yr bigger ok. *geez*

*sighs* doing hsework till 4am is so devastating can. so my mood was extremely bad. felt so depressed, lonely n fed-up. =( wat a way to start off da nian chu yi rite. BOO!

sorry peeps. dis is extremely late. anyways, i tink i juz post e pics. so pls pardon my half-type entry. i dun tink i wld ever complete it. so there. pardon me k?

haha... ok, i'm late in wishing him on my blog. but well, i was early in wishing thru sms n on e dot in wishing thru frenster. so i guess he shld haf no complaints. keke...

we celebrated early on sat wif ah di coz on sun he had a chalet wif his camp mates n on mon (which is e actual day) wif cal. anyways, after sme great reviews abt 'si chuan dou hua' restaurant, i decided tat we eat there. haha... as if its my bday.

anways, so i chose n called e outlet at uob plaza which is on e 60th flr to reserve a table for 9. wheeeeeee... =)

i was on e dot in reaching dad's hse. but i forgot regan's shoe so after we squeezed into e toyota, drove back to take his shoes. i'm as forgetful as usual la. =P dad, of coz, nagged lor. *sighs*

on our way there. on regan's fav tom n jerry. its e oni vcd on board so whenever hes onboard, i wld on tat. i've watched it like 100 times. =( but lazy to keep so many in e car coz we dun take tat car everyday wat. so when regan's hme he watch those at hme n in mom's car, he watch tat so its nt like he keep watchin e same. n kids dun need a lot of new ones. they r really contented repeating e few. keke... though he watch it like 100 times already but each time he watch it as if he haven watch it before. he does rem e scenes though n wld point to us e furnee scenes r coming up soon. haha... so its nt as if he forgets it each time after he watch it.

n if u r willing to sacrifice e little tings in life n pay e price for e little tings tat r worthwhile, it can b done.

cleaned e whole kitchen, washed e outside windows n did my grocery shopping before going dwn to west coast rec ctr for proj 'x'. no progress due to... *sighs*

i tink i'm getting so tired of cleaning up for cny. though i din scrub e kitchen wall tiles but i'm quite extreme dis yr for spring cleaning. i'm nt slip shod ok. i clean every single little ting - fr e potato chips plastic in my pantry to my desk-stop calendar. but really too lazy to climb high n low to scrub e kitchen wall tiles.

but i did 2 yrs back. n witness a robber trying to sneak into a unit nxt blk. *geez* =O

i'm a v kaypo person by nature so theres this unit in e nxt blk on e 4th flr. e 2 unit owners (side-by-side_ r quite gd frens i tink or mayb relatives. i dun noe. but they always play mahjong together one lor. n dis particular unit which was targeted has mahjong sessions almost every other day. they look like they r a mahjong gambling den pattern so i tink it might b smeone tat had lost mahjong at their place before den wan sme revenge n get back sme money. haha... i'm imaginative can. =P

anyways, its owners looks quite abengish. haha... yes, i scrutinises dem. lols...

so i was cleaning e wall tiles on dis particular afternoon 2 yrs ago n i saw dis guy walking pass their unit n stopped. was tinking 'so odd. its afternoon n hes back? mayb he off today' though i cant c e face but i tink it might b a family member. so i continue cleaning my wall tiles. den 10 mins later i looked out n there he is still trying to open e grill lock. so i got suspicious n stood there watching him.

den realised when there is a neighbour walking out to water e plants or wat, dis chap wld quickly walk away to e lift lobby, climb up e stairs n hang ard before going back to e unit. i din noe wat to do or wat do i tell e police when i call dem so i monitored him for smetime. i hid behind e ledge quite worried tat he might c me den come n kill me or wat. i was so nervous so cant tink properly coz to tink of it i shld move to my bedrm n monitor him behind my curtain so i wld nt b tat obvious peeking out fr my kitchen window.

after like 45 mins, i've decided to call e police. after reporting it, i went back to chk on him n he suddenly SAW ME! i tink he realised i was watching him so he ran. luckily he din come to my unit to try to confront or threaten me or wat. but e police came shortly to e unit n combed e blk but din find him. i saw e police doing e 'mat search' fr flr to flr. i hid myself watching e police too. so scary ok. i'm timid one u noe. *bleahz*

well, its quite an adventure. ok, nt really an adventure coz i din go anywhere. but its rather exciting for me la. haha... hes such a lousy door picker. which is good oso la. if hes great door picker he wld haf succeeded. n perhaps i wld tink hes e owner n nt do anyting abt it already. i wanted to go over n tell e owner coz i dun noe if e police wld call on dem n tell dem abt it. but i decided nt to in e end. later they ask y i so kaypo hw. n its nt easy to explain i'm watching dem. haha...

anyways, as of today, they haf move since a yr back. both units. tats y i tink they might b relatives. nw its a bird rearing family tat slps v v v late. e current owner will walk out of his unit n look at his birds at like 1am? haha... which i like coz den i dun feel so lonely tinking everyone has gone to bed when i look out of my window n c all e units at e nxt blk its dark. its nice to haf sme company esp during times when i'm cramming for my exams u noe. =)

its nw 1.42am on 11 feb. i'm feeling damn pissed wif my pentium 2 sony vaio coz i'm taking like 1 hr to post 1 collage up using picasa into my blog. duh can!

was a driver on a nice sunday ferrying bro to taka to buy his new yr clothes n such. well, got a op top for dar as he haven bought anyting yet despite my constant reminders. every yr oso like tat. end up on cny eve i had to run everywhere to find smeting. last yr he did but e 2 tops he got hme were...hmmm... well, u can imagine. looks ok but nt great. anyways, op was hafinf a 20% sale. jianglin wanted to get tat aftet u picked it out but dun haf his size. awwww, too bad. haha... dar says he wans a polo-t n yes, i got him a polo-t though i wanted a white one. i'm v in into white rem? keke... =D whole family to b in white but sad to say, its a charcoal colour. wonder wats a charcoal? smeting like brown-black. nt black ok like charcoal. i dun noe y its call charcoal colour too since its mre on e brownish side. beats me.

den got toys for regan coz dad gave him money to buy bey blade. hes been asking us to buy bey blade fr dun noe since when. i thot its no longer e bey blade fever. dun noe where he knew tat fr. alas, cannt find bey blade in taka so got him an rechargeable battery operated flyable aeroplane tat did nt fly after we bought it go hme n test it.

oso saw a nice pair of nt-too-x sandals for his daily wear. so he wld stop bugging me to let him wear his ugly green slippers tats for his swimming use n nt daily use.

anyways, one of e photos shows dar saving regan's new toy plane after it got stuck in one of e trees leaves. jianglin did brought him to e field in front to fly it but got back already they were still trying hard to get it in e air without success.

help mom to go buy curry fish head which was out-of-stk (mayb coz due to cny) as part of dinner menu. den i suggested rail mall's restaurant tofu coz its v nice too. picked jianglin n regan fr e field before driving back. told u i machiam maid liao. so auntie doing all this auntie tings. *wails*

after dinner, watched abit of e stephen chow's dumb comedy tats so hilarious before heading hme to clean part of my kitchen. =( so tiring can.

brought regan to uncle chris's shop at far east to cut his hair. well, i tink i've mentioned it b4 but let me b naggy k? haha... uncle is chris used to b fr peter n guys (a popular hairdressing salon sme donkey yrs ago) n my mom use to do her hair there by him. i did too. i still rem he perm my maggi mee hair when i was in sec 2. saw my mom perm den like so dun den die die oso wan to perm. *bleahz* i look @#$%^&* can. haha... anyways he moved on n my mom lost contact wif him. den for in sme strang twist. he turns out to b cal's godpa. he din charge regan for e haircut. so nice of him. =)

den ate at my ever fav shui jiao mian stall at lvl 1 coz its cheap cheap cheap. oni $2.50 u get a bowl of yummie shui jiao mian + 1 cup of barley water. haha... bargain lei.

well, its abecha's potluck bbq at phase 0. i did e buying of my part n jona's in e afternoon wif mom before e haircut. got 10 bottles of drinks, 1 tub of margarine, 1 bottle of chilli sauce n ketchup each, 1 bag of corn n potatoes each, 2 bunch of bananas (suppose to b watermelon but ntuc dun haf watermelons so i got bananas which yee ean adores) n i forgot all abt e pkt of marshmallow till e party was over. went pop to zhenghua mkt to get e otak for jona.

oh well, nt really a party coz it kinda flop. i was late. i'm sorry. i really am. coz dar was working n he got off oni at like 6+ so we reach there near 7pm. n most had already left. so sad.

n i forgot abt e tub of margarine so dar had to go hv cold storage to get for me n a bag of ice as e drinks werent cold enuff as well as a brush tat hid itself when i was looking for it n thot zhiying (e ger tats suppose to bring it) had forgotten. *geez*

anyways, hope e nxt gathering can b better. mayb coz noone really likes to bbq n everyone had other plans on a nice sat juz before cny. *sobs* so i din catch up wif a lot of dem. plus had a minor tiff wif dar. *sighs*

i tink dar is such a furnee guy but wif strangers he juz clams up. i like bringing him along everywhere i go so he can noe my frens. but he always looks so bored, unhappy n out-of-place. i like to go wif him to his gatherings but he nv brings me. do u tink he bring along other gers? hmmmm... back to e 1st thot, so ya, i like him to bring me so i bring him. but he always look like an anti-social sitting all alone in 1 corner can. den i feel bad so i will sit wif him. den both of us look like outcasts. shortly after he wld start saying 'lets go' when we juz got there. n i will feel so torn.

celebrated yee ean's n mengli jie's bday too. haa...

i dun tink everyone was really happy n enjoying demselves at e gathering. i felt bad coz i'm part organizer. *sighs*

ok, its 11 feb wee hrs in e morn. n kinda lazy to clear my backlogs so i shall juz dumb all my pics. haha...

dis photos r taken on friday 4 feb. nothing much. cleaned out e storerm n washed e curtains for cny after running ard for 1 whole afternoon working on proj 'x'. it was so damn hot smemre. =(

went to yd's bday bbq at east coast park. kinda odd coz there were 2 grps of his frens (us n dem) n we cant really get along. so they sat at 1 corner n us at e other corner. i tink e gers were ok. we did tok abit but e guys were like 'duh'. so sad. we use to b like 1 big happy family. so i feel depressed tat tings haf changed as we aged. *wails* anyways, we stand for like awhile den went back. 'thks rach dear for organizing. ur marinating skills r superb!'

had an extremely looong day today. so tired can.

quite upset wif regan sch. reached sch at 10.15am today oni to realise tat his english speech n drama class has been moved fr mondays to thursday n e sch din even inform lor. so when i got there e class is like almost over. though i noe i'm always late but i do take conscious effort to b early on days he haf e xtra class ma.

anyways, after sending him to sch, started bustling ard for project 'x' till abt 1pm den pick ah di lor. coz he wans to borrow e car to go for his dental appt n got chalet so using e car till fri morn lor. n as he was late for his dental le, he drop me off at causeway pt. we were in at woodlands pt before tat ma.

shopped abit for regan's art n craft materials n socks for cny. no xtra money to shop for myself can. so sad rite.

anyways for looking for sequinns fr a handicraft shop but i went fr causeway pt to lot 1 n oni manage to find a handicraft shop at bt panjang plaza. spend a gd 2 hrs looking for handicraft shop sia. its a sunset trade. so tiring travelling all over e place n walking ard. so hot smemre. when i got hme i was hafing dis THROBBING headache.

oh ya got sme red ribbons too to tie e plants in e gdn at my dads place. cny coming ma. muz ang gong gong u noe. i'll do tat yrly but e last 2 yrs i din coz i was too busy working in e banks n so stressed out tat i forgotten abt doing it. *bleahz*

tats my newly adopted rabbit fr may. tink its an angora. tats wat cal says. hes kinda messed up. got to bring him for grooming.

understand fr may tat hes $250. so x rite for a rabbit.

dad was nagging non-stop when i adopted him coz he tinks i'm bo liao. taking in tings ppl dun wan. but ok la. i tink its nice to haf a small pet n rabbits r less maintenace den dogs ma. its cleaner too. grooms itself sme. n no nid to walk it. or bathe it. further dogs poo mre lor. haa... den fish nt nice to touch ma. so slimy n cold.

e rabbit is really cute. too skinny though. when u touch him hes all bones. n hes v scared. scratch me lots when i pick him den he panics n starts kicking away.

i'm going to name him chinese name 'liang bai wu' n christian name 'dollars'.

haha... =D coz hes $250 n e new cage dad esp went to e petshop to buy for him is $250 too! such a coincidence. i was already tinking of call him tat but quite duh. however, when e cage is $250, finally nailed e name to him. den cal say muz haf christian name so when he go to e vet e nurse can call properly ma. so i say ok lor, 'liang bai wu dollars'. keke... wanted to call him 'cai bai wu' coz our surname is 'cai' ma. but 'cai bai wu' sounds like $150 oni. too cheap ok. hes mre x. lols...

cme visit him at my dads hse during cny ok! hee...

finally completed regans art pc. tats gg to b like a mthly activity i heard fr e teachers.

i noe it looks ugly. dun luff can.i was so tired. busy since morn. den came back fr dad's hse ard 10pm oni. so started workin on it like 10.30pm. do till 1am ok.

regan did most of e painting of e ice-cream sticks, e face beige hue n pasted sme of e sequinns for e hair.

he was like so excited at 1st abt painting since morn when he woke up n saw e painting supplies. told everyone hes doing painting today. even gave up computer games coz he says he wans to paint. but mayb coz it was late den after painting sme, he got bored n decides computer games mre fun coz he cannt do wat he wan wif e paints but muz paint e ice-cream sticks ma. but i insisted he do all e ice-cream sticks lor. if nt all my work den hw consider as student-parents involvement lei rite?

den dar was playing computer games. quite upset but i declared e nxt art project he shall do. every mth one ma so we alt do lor. haha... i will play computer games e nxt time. but i where got so mean one. i say say oni. when e time comes i will do again. *hmpf* i so nice ma.

i still tink it looks horrible. told e teacher dun display mine. haha... shall do over a few days nxt time. e sch shld give n do over wkend la. so duh. hmmmm, tink i write in n suggest. coz they give mon n ask to submit by fri. parents sme working (though i'm nt) den reach hme so tired. esp e kid oso tired fr sch. reach hme, eat dinner den rest abit muz slp liao ma. so if do art muz do till late like us wat. if over a few days oso can la but no materials ma. i got sme liao so nxt time can use like postal paints, brushes n white glue. keke...

had sme appts for project 'x' but got called for relief teaching at cck pri. whee~

i tink i muz buy 4-d. coz i was juz complaining y no sch call me to do relief teaching e nite before n bingo. my hp rang at 7am. i'm so tired can coz i slept at 4am. den over e wkend i juz mention abt dar's hard disk failing n it crashed e sme nite rem? *geez*

so lucky dar can b late for work today. so he was so nice to send me to sch before fetchin regan to e childcare den head for work. in a mad rush, i forgot my hp n cldnt call those i'm suppose to meet to rearrange timing immediately. had to wait till my break n use e office fone to call. luckily i wrote dwn e hp nos in my diary. else tink they cannt find me n i cant get dem den they tink i playing punk. *geez*

i tink cck pri is way way way much better den kranji pri. e staffs r v efficient. e classrms r v well equip.

i had to do TEACHING lor. *faints* 'help help help dap! hw do i teach?'

today is p2 n p3.

e p2 class is 2a n fr e admin staff, its e best class in p2 so she still tell me to b mre mindful on hw i contact e class n e tings i say coz their parents r v picky. e class was pretty well-behaved. there were workshts being prepared for dem already so all i had to do is juz distribute dem n guide dem if they face any prob den collect e completed workshts back. simple. haha... n tats y i say e sch is gd, at least sme stuffs r prepared if e teacher falls ill n they wld waste a day doing nthg. heres e best part, i had to teach dem maths - subtraction wif renaming. i was so stressed. dun noe hw to go abt it. so i any-o-hw lor. tink i really suck. but e kids r smart la. i had sme practice samples n they got it all rite. N they were so enthusiastic abt coming up to class n write on e board to demonstrate their competency can. e whole class hands were raised sia n i din noe who to pick. all oso so excited. n when i asked dem to do e qns on e tb, sme were even doing e nxt topic qns le lor. steady rite. after they had done e worksht n maths practice qns, i gave dem sme puzzles i've printed for dem to work on. so at least they r occupied. =) i'm prepared dis time rd ok. haa...

however, e p3 class was entirely oppsite can. its 3j so i guess its at e other end of e spectrum ba. they were so uncontrollable, noisy n hyper. i gave dem p2 composition to do n they were like finding lots of excuses nt to do. one even go to e extent to tell me he dun noe hw to write. its a p2 composition assessment bk lor. n they r p3s lei. nw i got e whole stack of composition on my desk. sme r empty paper coz they keep insisting they dun noe hw to write. =(

class ended at 11.50am but i had to hang ard till 1pm so i get my full amt else its gonna get pro-rated. since they din nid me to do anyting juz hand ard so i did. haa... who dun wan mre money rite? i wanted to assist e admin staff do admin stuffs but she insisted no nid n i'm doing relief teaching n relief teachers dun nid to do admin tings one. so i went to their staff rm n sat ard lor.

they had sme probs wif my relief teacher status. its all settled nw but moe kinda screwed up my renewal when i submit it late last yr. tats y i say kranji pri nt as gd coz e admin staff din say anyting. but e cck pri staff even call n chk for me etc.

looking forward to my relief teaching pay coming in. tink its on e 8th. yay~ do i owe anyone any money or lunches? haha... claim fast else i wld spend it all soon. =)
