When I have NOTHIING better to do...

Okay fine, I gave in. I thought it would get better, but somehow it got worse.

So it's time to visit the doctor!

And since I really have nothing better to do (while I was waiting for my student to come my house for tuition. Can u believe it! Sick liao still tuition. Exams are coming and my student's parents actually said they don't mind coming when I told them Im sick -_-), let me show u what i have got:

For running nose (which is making me sibei drowsy now)

For phlegm

For headache and fever

Antibiotics

Losenges to suck

Cough medicine

So many medicine, my ah gong got confused which to let me eat anot. Even I see liao also blur. haha.

And the thing is, IT COSTS FREAKING $80 can! Usually when i go there and see doctor, it's less than $30 lah! This time my doctor gives all strong and expensive medicine. Oh my goodness!

And a 2-days MC. How am i suppose to take MC when I have so much work. Maybe I will go back tomorrow morning to get some stuffs settled first.

很郁闷...我不想生病, 我很讨厌生病!!!
现在整个身体很弱, 很辛苦...
连平常最喜欢吃的食物现在放入嘴里根本没有味道

看来我真的累坏了，
我讨厌镜子里那个病弱的自己。

On a totally random note, happy birthday jie ying! :)

SICK. SHIT.

It started from yesterday afternoon. The weather is hot and I have to rush to meet a sales executive from the hotel and a sales manager from the studio to discuss the details of the school's convocation.

There were actually so much things to be done for a simple convocation which is driving me mad. I really think I am crazy to stay for one more week to finish the convocation when yesterday was supposed to be my last day.

No time to grumble over that now because I just have to get this event done. No matter what.

The throat was killing me, despite how many bottlesss of water I drank.

Then my nose started to run away at night. Which leaves me not sleeping well at all.

I thought all these would end today.
But it got worse.

Great.

My head was spinning and I thought there was earthQuake again
How dumb, when there was earthQuake, people thought they were giddy, and now it was another way round. -_-

My throat becomes sore and Im coughing like nobody's business.
(But i think my voice sounds better. haha)

Then the nose continues to run...

And I didn't finish my favourite duck rice!

WAKAO, 姑奶奶真的生病了！~
This is a seriously wrong timing to get sick.

All plans have been cancelled, except for Lishan's and Jie Ying's birthday celebration tonight...

I MUST GET WELL,
I cannot get sick.

Last week...

So it was last week.

One of the days, I went tasting with Brad at Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel. I felt so glad that my office is just a few stops away from the hotel.

It was a wine pairing with chinese cuisine session. And for each dish that we tried, there was a glass of red or white wine to go along with it. In total, I think we tasted 5 types of wine but all red wine tasted exactly the same to me. -_-

We were very full, but continue walking to down to streets for desserts at Everything with Fries.

Which reminds me that I have not finish writing reviews for the Pasta restaurant. shit.

On another day, I went to celebrate Xiaoling's birthday at Holland Village. It was xiaolongbao buffet cum steamboat dinner at Crystal Jade. Then, we headed to Starbucks for some lame games till midnight.

On the next day, Fungie and I went ION for some shopping. It's my first time shopping in ION, it's so big that Fungie has divided our shopping trip into PART ONE and PART TWO (after our keyboard lessons).

Dinner was some Hokkaido Ramen which pretty good and there was a long Q...

While waiting...

Pumpkin! Yummys~

Then continue with ION Shopping PART TWO. But basically we only walk outside all the branded shops...

Then we decided to go out and take some photos...

I like LV and Dior...

She likes LV and Prada...

Bought a pair of Havaianas flip flops and alot of food!

Yups, that's my last week :)

Somebody please go and apply this job!

If not, I will have no 继承人！

我很珍惜每一段缘分

那一天，我问了一位60岁的老头：
“为什么到处飞，不留在家里和太太共享晚年？”

他说，太太10年前患上失意，已经不是他爱的女人了。
理性的他，不想把自己的人生浪费在照顾太太的身上，
所以决定到世界各地工作，找了护士照顾太太。

每逢圣诞节，老头会回家相聚，
而太太偶尔记得他是自己的老公，
偶尔误以为他是坏人。

这个老头不是陌生人，
而是我的老板。

听了后，突然很伤心。
这里没有谁对谁错，
只能说没有完美的山盟海誓。

忽然很同情他，
也很同情她。

我是一个很多愁善感的小女人，
我承认。

每读完一本小说，我就会有很多感触。
感叹人生的无奈，
为什么男女主角不能在一起？

每看一部连续剧，我就会因为剧里的某个桥段哭得稀里哗啦
仿佛把自己卷入剧中，经历当下的感受。

每听完一首个，我就会反复地哼着，
有时因为歌词的美而落泪。

这就是我，
一个爱哭的我，
一个会被小小的事而感动的我。

我或许不是每件事都能做得好，
可是我会努力完成一切。

无论是扮演一个孙女、女儿、侄女、朋友、老师、同事、情人、知己等。。。
我都很努力扮演好每个角色。
或许有时候我做不好，
又或者对方不能接受我爱她/他的方式，
可是这也只是唯一我能做的。
我只想关心我在乎的人，
珍惜我爱护的人。

就是这样。

朋友向我倾诉的时候，我会把她/他的问题变成自己的烦恼，
我会努力地去聆听及体谅，
也会尽力帮忙。

说我自寻烦恼烦恼？
或许吧！

只因为我很珍惜每一个缘分。

今天有学生问我：
“老师，为什么你每天都那么开心？”

一开始工作，我就告诉自己要保持愉快，
因为每天都要打仗，
我必须乐观面对。

可是，
他们从没看到一放工那沮丧无力的我。



这绝对不是我年代的歌，可是从小学开始，这首歌就陪我经过许多点点滴滴。今天在广播里听到这首歌，让我勾起了许多隐藏深处的回忆。。。

Dear Linsey,

All the best for your PSLE.

With Love,
Teacher Maureen

Thank You

I reached home very late from tuition on Monday
Yet I brought tonnes of work to be done at home.
While i doze off in the sofa,
AH YI actually helped me to type out all my work till midnight.

Thank you Ah Yi :)

我尽力了。。。

我不是铁人，
可是我会尽力去把工作做好。

我不懂谁会阅读我的博客，
我也不在乎。
反正我是尽力了，也问心无愧。

对于一个身不由己的决定，
我也只能遵守命令。
对或错，黑或白
我还可以分辨。

那又怎样？
When asked to do, can you say no?
Not like I have not pre-warned the consequences.

每个人对我有不同的要求。
上星期把一份不成立的草稿往我桌子上丢
不分青红皂白地训了我，
真的很说不过去。

他叫我不要在意，
我理解，也去体谅。
本来就是没有多大问题啊，
一直耿耿于怀，我也没办法。

昨天还这么严肃的责备，
我到底做错了什么？

这样子发脾气，
你爽就好咯。

我不想卷入没必要的争议，
只想努力把工作做好。

加油！

Chilli Padi Buffet Dinner

Went peranakan buffet dinner at Chilli Padi (North Bridge Road) with Lishan last night. It was $13.80++ and the variety is limited. Blue Ginger is definitely much better.

Lishan's shirt looks normal right, but she got a BIG BIG BOW TIE behind! So nice!

I felt much lighter after I tendered, so I was totally in the mood for shopping!

MY FIRST ALDO BAG!! $95 usual price, 15% off for UOB card holders, so that makes it $80!! wah, i think i must be crazy man! And that bangle is $36! -_-

But still, it was a happy shopping day! :D

Happy Mooncake Festival

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!~

Went shopping with Fungie at Haji Lane before going for Keyboard lesson. Went home after that to eat Ah Yi's zhao pai chicken rice and celebrate my mid autumn with my family.

I like this tweety bird lantern! I bought it many years ago and it's still in good condition. My pooh bear's lantern got burnt! :(

Playing with my neighbours. Why do we have to grow up? I also want to carry lantern with them! But I felt so giant!

We actually wanted to go Bishan Park and walk around with lanterns to feel the mood, but it was raining, so we stayed at home instead.

I love my neighbourhood. We are still very much traditional because we celebrate every single occasion. From CNY to Mid Autumn to dumpling to dua bei gong's birthday to wadever...and the whole neighbourhood will gather like a big family to talk!

Waited for our Mr Yong Tian till 1am last night but he told me he still outside -_-
So i got my mooncakes from him today 9am! My family only eats Da Zhong Guo. Every year the same! Cum'on, this year somebody buy me some lychee martini or durian mooncake please!

And you think we only have this few?

THIS IS HOW MUCH WE BOUGHT! Gosh, I think I can eat mooncakes for breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner and supper! Just by looking makes me full...

Us eating mooncake and drinking tea. whoo!~ Haven't been spending much time with my family ever since work started. We shall go for pooridge steamboat after I resigned!

I recieved this sweet postcard all the way from Taiwan! It was a lovely mid autumn surprise! Thankssssssss Jo Mei! :D
