Class starting tml.
Should I be excited?
Ok. I am quite excited actually.
As I’m another step closer to my cert.
But that will mean ‘stress-on-the –double’ lifestyle for me from now..
Hubby has been on night shift for 6 days now.
Though it can get lonely some time,
but I’m quite glad that he is not around.
I can concentrate better on teaching the kids,
and have more time for myself…
Hubby was supposed to have his day off on Monday,
But have to return to work as some of his colleagues fell ill,
And that in turn cause them to have a shortage of manpower.
We had planned to watch ‘Transformer’ on that day as he missed
the one on Saturday (due to his work, again!!!).
But too bad, the whole plan hv to be canceled due to the manpower problem.
His last day of work is on the 10 July 2009.
And I’m looking realllllll forward to it~
Hopefully, for once, there’ll be no last minute problem.
P1 registration is on.
I can only register Travis end of this month as the phase we’re eligible for starts then
and last for a mere 3 days.
Guess I’ll have to take leave this month end on the 31/07/2009 for the registration as well
as for his medical check up @ SK Polyclinic.
Tried on a different method of learning spelling with Travis since Monday
And it seems to work far better then the previous one.
He is able to master the spelling of 4 words in 2 days
and is still able to remember the spelling of the words vividly after a day.
He is also more enthusiastic during the lesson
Which obviously, such result is not possible with previous method.
I’m glad to see such optimums result and hope that it will last…
Thinking of new methods of teaching often kills zillions of my brain cells.
I have a plan, which is still in the ‘planning mode’.
Nothing is precise yet.
But hopefully I can put this plan into action without any hiccups.
The plan:
To be a part time SAHM mum by next March.
Reason:
1) To coach the kids myself, rather then send them for studies.
2) My FIL’s health is deteriorating, my MIL can help him out at the shop
if I work part time.
For this plan to be put into action, a lot of things will hv to be in place.
First & foremost, hubby must be holding a stable full time job by then.
Then, we can start considering other things~
It’s not easy….
I have doubts on whether this plan will succeed…
But I truly, sincerely hope that things will work in our favour.Labels: Life, Work

B.I.N.G.O
In case you can't see what was written,
I've pasted the whole thing below.
You like to be at the center of everything but even so you may feel lonely even in the midst of a crowd. Sometimes you can be swept away by your own vanity. You are goal oriented and can neglect the feelings of others. You have a competitive spirit that is matched by few and are able to implement your own visionary and courageous ideals. You have an abundance of energy and pointed in the right direction are often admired for your hard work. You have trouble opening up on a deep level and rarely let others into your inner world. You love to feel needed and put yourself into indispensable positions. Your partner has a full time job on their hands and relationships often burn out fast.
Strengths: success-oriented – courageous – energetic
Weaknesses: Aloof – irritable – excessive

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Comments: Depends on what you expect out of this movie.
If you expect a good storyline,
I advice you not to waste ur money here.
If you want actions & some good laugh,
then this is the movie that you should watch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hubby couldn't watch with me as he was working~
So the tix that we have booked before hand was sold
to Aries' friend, Mich.
The show is full of action.
Some scenes were funny...
It worth the tix price, if you ask me~
Will have to acc hubby tomorrow night to watch
the same movie again.

If I still can't get another job by end of July,
I'm staying put~
Dunno if I've used up all my good luck....
Seems like I'm so unlucky recently~
Guess I still have lots to learn about life...
Happiness depends on yourself...
Not the thing around you..
I want to be happy....
The ultimate goal is to be happy...Labels: Life, uncertainties, Work

I miss those days when life was simpler.
A simple job with a pay of $1300 would have already made me very happy...
But now my salary was higher than that, I hv more than before,
but my 'happiness' level was relatively lower.
What exactly went wrong?????
Too little time, too many commitments???
Does all these cause me to be like that now???
I told hubby it seems like the more you get,
the greedier you became...
At least I feet that it is true in my case.
Sometimes I think that it's because of the influence ard me that
have corrupted my soul;
cause me to have commited one of the seven sins without knowing.
But who can you blame???
Life is so, right????
Human's soul is so easily corrupted by the environment.
At the end of the day, when thing goes wrong,
we only have ourselves to blame...
I want to live a simple life..
Maybe after Joe got a job, I will stay at home and
take on a part time job.
But of course, the first criteria for me to stay at home
would be for my maid to go first...
So we will have to play by the ear...
It's a grave sin for us to break someone else's 'rice bowl'.
I wouldn't want to commit that sin...
I always believe what you did to others,
it will come back to you in many folds (more).
I am not at all 'noble',
but I always try to keep myself in check....
Belle is a strong lady who can brave weather~
Isn't she????Labels: BlueZ, Life, uncertainties

A long, tedious day at work~
Ever since I started working in this company,
I have never left my workplace on-the-dot before.
Ho0oo0oo...
That's a torture~
Came across a blog...
This blogger wrote a post about 'modern' parenting
where some mummies just leave their children to care-giver
and enjoy themself with their frenx..
She finds that it's not right.
She thinks that being a good mother is to stay at home to look after the kid all day long...
That reminds me of someone..
Myself...
in the past~
But now I think that it's better if we have some 'me' time once in a while...
You can spend that 'me' time relaxing.. recharging ur energy.. enjoy a bit~
Just like what we Chinese say: 休息是为了走更远的路
How can you continue life's long journey without any rest in between??
Dun get the wrong idea, I'm not saying what she think is wrong..
I am just voicing out my own view since we're both mothers...
But then again...
I think there's some problem with this mentality of mine....
I have being playing too much lately...
And have neglected my role as a mother..
I will have to step up on it before I start to fall backward...Labels: Life

Dariz went for his op this morning..
We left the house at 6.40am
and reached the hospital at 7am.
His operation started at 10am and was over within minutes.
I thought it would took at least 30 mins for the whole thing to finish,
so hubby & I went to the cafe for breakfast.
Who knows the nurse from OT called 15 mins later
saying Dariz was awake and was screaming and shouting..
So I had to gobble everything, settle the bill and rush back to the OT.
And a minor misunderstanding arose amidst everything
which I rather not mention as it was settled as soon as it happened.
I think he was a little traumatized by what had happened to him.
He was crying and crying when we brought him back to the ward.
And would startled up crying halfway through sleeping...
He finally woke up at around 11.30am.
And was back to himself.
He seems to have no recollection on what had happened.
Of which, I was truly thankful..
The Doctor discharged him at around 1pm.
He have a patch on the eye that was operated on.
And Doctor said to only remove it tomorrow.
I consider this an ordeal & a misfortune that
befell on my little baby..
I hope nothing of sort would happen again.
I dun think I want to see him going through all these again...
And ya, I admire my MIL more after this...
Imagine what she went through when hubby had
a major op at 4yo???
No one were there to give her any support.
At least I have hubby with me throughout the whole morning.Labels: medical problems, uncertainties

I've been to hospitals quite frequently recently.
Granduncle was in hospital for more than 2 weeks now.
And on Monday, I finally had a chance to see him in his ward...
What I saw really change my perspective of life.
[Life is too Fragile]
Without any first hand experience, it would certainly have
a degree of difficulty in grasping the concept...
At least to me...
Granduncle was a big man!
Big in everything...
A big heart especially...
Even hubby remember him as a very nice man...
And you know what he looks like now????
My aunt and my sis have told me how thin he look now...
And I was like 'he must be really thin' to cause those
who saw him before I did to have such reaction.
But it totally help none in preparing me for what I was
about to see the day I finally visited him in his ward.
He was as thin as grandpa (when grandpi was alive).
Can you imagine??
To the size of a 'fatty' who easily weighs over 90kg
to someone who maybe weigh around 45kg now..
And it happened over less than a 4 month period!!!!!!
You know how my heart was aching when I saw him??
That was the time I finally understood what does it mean by:
[Life is fragile]
Thinking back of how he looks like in the past...
Comparing the past to now....
Makes me feel that it's all pointless...
No use comparing cos he can't go back to the past anymore..
All we can think of is his future..
His son and his wife...
What will happen to them should something happen to him?
I really dun dare to think~ Labels: medical problems, uncertainties

Why can't he just change for the better??
Why can't he just do something for his family???
He's incorrigible!!!!!!
He dun even care if others die,
all he care is only himself...
He thought that he is studying.
so he can just spend all his time 'studying'.
When his study time is only until 4-5pm in the evening.
Can't he look for a part time job and earn to lighten everyone's burden???
Why are you selfish?
Are you a man or not??
Why can you act as if nothing happen when everyone is
having such difficult time now??
Do you know how much I hate you??
Do you know how disappointed I am in you?
Do you know I feel like giving up everything,
leave this place and live a life I want?
Do you know how much pain have you put me through??
Do you know how long I have been waiting???
You know NOTHING!!!!!!!
All you know is your fun, your card, and your precious
good for nothing 'brother' you've known for all your life!
Why can't you just pick up the good points from your friends??
Why must be like that jerk who only knows how to be a burden to others?
You can treat me like shit for all you want.
you will get your retribution in time to come!!!!
I HATE YOU! Labels: marriage, mood, Rants

What hapened to me??
I feel like having some kind of hangover.
But I didn't drink..
I just woke up from a nap after the Zoo trip this morning.
And I'm feeling like this..
I feel so tired recently..
I dun know why..
I thought that my monthly thing is coming,
but I was like late for 4 days??
Am I pregnant??
I dunno~
What would I do if I'm preggy?
Who wants?? The higher bidder wins!!
(just crapping~)
But I feel exactly the same as when I was preggy with Rhys...
So tired all the time that I fell asleep right after dinner.
Only this time I didn't feel so sleepy to sleep after dinner.
Could it be????
Well, Let's just wait for a few more day...
I believe my 'aunty' just went for a vacation
and was late reporting for work~
~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X
I wish to have a simple life.
A cosy 3-room flat...
A lovely baby... (yes, just 1!)
Traditional family where hubby work to
bring the bread home
and I stay at home to be a full time housewife,
cooking and cleaning for my loved one...
But life normally dun go the way you want..
I have 3 kids...
With the current economy like this,
hubby couldn't possibly bring home enough for all..
So as a wife, a mother, a daughter in law,
I will have to go out and work and do my part for this family.
This makes me realise how important planning is.
So i started planning (a little too late).
I have a 5 year plan.
I have a 10 year plan.
I have a long term plan...
And I'm recently starting to worry for my retirement
(if I can live to see that day),
and hubby's retirement as well
I know nuts about investment.
I have not much to spare..
But I hope I can save enough to start doing some
investment real soon..
I'm a down to earth person..
I believe in work smart, but I also believe in work hard.
I know I will have to work hard to achieve my goal..
Solid foundation is essential in realizing a dream.
Without solid foundation,
dreams will always be just a dream.
It will never be realized.
Ad I also believe in taking the proper channel.
More often than not, shorts cuts takes you
on a wild goose chase...
You will often find yourself going back to your
previous situation.
I want to have a good life.
I want my kids to have a good life.
At least a life where they need not worry about
family expenses when they should be worried
about their own future..
Life is unpredictable..
Who knows what will happen tomorrow..
These will all remain a dream until
I work hard to turn them into a reality...
Work hard, belle~
WORK HARD!!!!!! Labels: Life, mood, uncertainties

祸不单行 ~ How true it is.
I'm like having alot of problems lately..
Retrenched~
Loan~
Financially unstable~
Family problem~
And now...
My son's eye problem.
Why has it always got to be this kind of problem???
Just when I thought his lung problems have got some improvement,
his eyes give me problem...
Dr said he have strabismus,
and might result in Meridional Amblyopia (lazy eye)
if treatment were to be delayed.
He will have to wear spectacles.
And might have to do patching afterwards..
All of these sound so alien to me...
I feel so powerless when I heard what
my son have to go through and I can't do anything...
I have alot of ????????? in my head after I spoke to the Doctor.
I guess I can only eliminates these ??? when
I see the Doctor again this coming Monday.
The pic shows Dariz eyes..
Taken just minutes before this post was written.

Granduncle was admitted to TTSH on Sunday afternoon.
Hubby & I went down on Sunday night and he was still
in the observation room.
From 2pm all the way to 10.30pm, there wasn't any single bed for him...
I have no idea what time he was moved to the ward...
I have no chance to see him at all...
I'm starting to get the hang of my job..
Though it's 10x more tedious then my previous job.
But whenever I remember that I'm doing something
related to what I am studying, and whenever i overcome
the obstacles i face during work, I feel the adrenaline rush
rushing through my veins...
It makes me excited and motivates me to keep on going..
This is just a stepping stone...
I'm accumulating experience...
My efforts and sacrifices will pay off..
I'm broke...
I used more than i expected...
And have less to save...
I'm sad =(
Will be going to the zoo with my MIL and the kids this Sunday..
This will be our last outing to attractions for the month..
We'll just stick on to swimming complex for the rest of the month...
I'm so tired~
Why amI so tired?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Labels: mood, Work
