Less post lately...

I just realise i have been blogging less lately. Besides the busy schedule i have since the school starts for the kids. Below are the reasons, muahaha...

-  facebook [ i can post my thoughts there too]

- facebook games [Happy aquarium and farmville]

- I Phone ! Yes, this new gadget saves my time as i am able to upload photos and read people's blog when on the travel.

I just tried out my Tefal frying pan, it's cool! Non-sticky at all. My iron is also Tefal brand. I think i like this brand not because it is branded but it is really good!

Just booked the tickets to sydney, i hope this trip will be fun, though the main purpose is to visit anson's aunt. Finally going there after talking about it for a few years.

I hope that grandma's health will get better. Maybe can plan for another trip to china? Relatives there called us over the weekend and asked us when we are going over again. Truthfully, we don't know though we told them this few years...

2010

Is this the year i saw on some science textbook when i was in primary school that says that we are going to run out of fuel like oil/gas? But it seems fine now cos we are still burning the eath's resources.

No great plans for this year i guess the greatest would be going to sydney with anson and his family. His cousin would also be joining

Wanted to cut back the short bob head that i used to have, but my stylist dun want to cut for me... he say cos i just rebond half year ago, cut liao will be flat flat de. Then i wanted the stupid look short fringe, he also din want to cut for me cos he say will be flat flat de. The only thing we both agreed on is to try to change my stubborn parting on my head. So in the end, he layered and style my hair for me only.

I have to endure through this year before all my sunday tuitees graduate and i dun think i want to take up any more private tuition on my off day... so tired...

Must plan my days properly. I wanted to attend some buddhist course but seems always the timing not right, i hope i can take part in at least one lesson for this year. Gambate!

Christmas party coming!

It's been a few years since we had christmas party at my place again! I look forward to the big gathering of family from all sides this year plus anson's family... Though i don't eat bbq food, but i look forward to bbq and it would be just at my mum's place.

Busy with getting presents for the kids. Lucky most of the kids are grown up already so can buy lesser, or else i still remember the last time we had christma's party and i had to prepare nearly 15 to 20 different gifts, that was really headache!

The last gathering was my wedding last month and i din get to play much with them! I am looking forward to the Wii war with so many potential players to play with, hahaha...

Christmas coming 2010 coming!!

It's the time of the year when there would be a hole in the pocket, haha... so many pretty stuff around, i wish i am a millionaire and get presents for everyone. Or maybe i should be santa claus, cos i love shopping!!

I still have many 'whys' in my head as i take up new challenges ahead, apart from washing clothes, ironing clothes and cleaning the floor.

To take up masters or not??? Got people asking me to pursue and i see many around me pursuing it. But i doubt that would be my main goal for now, cos i know even if i want to get that cert, i would be putting myself into much more stress and unhappiness which i definitely don't want to pursue. I want to save more and travel more!!! My goal of life now, i want to go to so many places but again, my leaves are so limited, opps, i cannot say so. cos i think if the company gives me one whole month, i also think it is not enough, i am just greedy yah.

Sydney, Hongkong, Taiwan, Tibet/Bhutan, Cruise in the europe countries...

Why?

Why some people like to 钻牛角尖 and make their lives and the people around them so suffering?

Why some people like to control so many things when they only have a pair of hands?

Why some people like to think so much when there is nothing to think at all?

Why some people like to criticise to much on other people when they are not perfect at all?

Why some people know that nobody's perfect and yet like to focus and criticise so much on people'e bad points?

Why some people just like to torture themselves so much and make their own lives to miserable and not getting any where at all?

Why some people just seems to don't like so many people in the world?

Baby nephew's birthday

It has been some time besides my wedding that we had family gathering on my maternal's side. Today is my cousin's baby boy's one year old birthday party and the parents organise a chalet at aloha changi. It is an ulu place but surprising crowded today with celebrations over the chalet not only at our unit but other units too. I guess it's the school holidays.

I forget to bring my camera there as i had tuition in the afternoon and sort of rush out of the house this morning. But poor baby boy was not feeling well and down with flu. He was having runny nose and eyes were watery... After all the struggle with the flu. He knock out the the right moment, just when we are going to sing the birthday song and cut the cake. He must be really tired.

Then was the heaty discussion among family members about where to hold grandma's birthday dinner next year. I felt we should just hold it at the usual old place where it holds the last few good memories for grandma when all children and husband were still around then. But most wanted grandma to explore new place, or i would say, they wanted it themselves.

Seriously speaking, if they want grandma to explore new place, they do not have to wait till her birthday. Why is it that no one would bring her out on normal days, or drive her around for a walk???

And grandma's health has not been good this year already with her sight failing. She does not want to go to unfamiliar places. At her age, do you think she really wants to explore new places??? Even if she doesn't want, what's wrong??? Why are you all trying to force her to go to places that you all like? Why can't dinner just be held at the restaurant she's comfortable to go?

Updates

Thank you those who took time to attend my wedding. It was quite casual and relax style so if i did not host well, pardon me cos its my first time! haha...

Well honeymoon on cruise to penang and phuket is also over, yes, it was wonderful. It was the second time travelling without having to worry for the elders so i really enjoyed myself.

So now we are still getting use to our new lives in the new house. I enjoyed the peace and space i have now compared to living with 5 other ppl in the house, though it may be a bit quiet, i find it good for me to focus on my thoughts.

The night before my customary wedding

How i am feeling now, cannot breathe cos of last minute heart attack issues. The time taken for manicure and pedicure is out of my prediction as it took almost 2.5 hours to 3 hours. Then my dear 2 cousins really give me hard attack as they did not have the proper clothes. When we offered to help them buy 2 days ago, they don't want, but ended on my house with no proper clothes and shoes. They are suppose to help open the car's door tomorrow. So they will be in the pictures, my mother definitely don't want to be 'malu'.

I rushed to buy 2 shirts for them then rush to buy cakes for morning breakfast before the shop closed as it is near 10pm. Then i rush home to bathe and wash my hair...

How to sleep early... Wake up at 5.50 tomorrow...

Brides are never pretty, at least i think i am not as my face still got the remains scars from outbreaks... Some are also damn stress that they cannot sleep, or cry over night and got puffy eyes etc.

But thanks to technology and make up artists, brides never fail to appear pretty in pictures no matter how ugly they are.

I will try to sleep later. Amituofo.

Specially dedicated to Bingxuan's mum.

You Are So Low

You are so low that, if there was a car on the bridge
And under the bridge there was a rock
And under the rock there was a stone
And under the stone there was a snail
And under the snail there was a bull ant
And under the bull ant there was a flea
You could walk under the flea

Updates on moving house and wedding prep

The heavier stuff are down already, mainly books. Dear dear start to open his eyes wide as my stuff march out of the cupboards and from some well hidden parts of the room. But each day, i will still bring something down, be it a box or some display thingy.

My brother can't wait for me to get out of my room, as he moves and set up his hi fii system in my room when i am away. Stupid enough, he only knows how to put my timer cum radio cum clock on the floor, irritated when i see it, i just put it on one of his speakers. He open his eyes wide as if telling me not to, but i am still the queen. WT, as it putting such a light weight thing on his speaker will crush the system or what. And it is not a brand new system, it is all second hand.

Anyway, managed to get the jewellery and dragon phoneix bed set. Whew, though customs are reduced to the minimum, it is still important that both sides parents are happy.

Time to move more things down and get my ass out of my own room!!!

What do you think makes a good teacher?

  • Prepares lesson well
  • meet the lesson objectives
  • motivates/entertains students
  • know how the students feel
  • go through students' work

Initially i thought that secondary school students does not need me to collect and mark their work. And i realise that it hinders the learning process as students does not have a motivation to do their work when teachers does not mark them.

Marking students work is a way for me to know if my students understand the lesson, so as for me to improve on my teaching. It is also where i communicate with my students as i put down comments and my feelings on their papers. However, it needs time. But in the money world, this is not the case, as to businessman, it is a waste of time and not productive. Sometimes i am confused, because i know if i mark students work and spend time encouraging them, it helps to bring in more students, but there are no solid proof that this is the reason for increase in enrolment. I always thought that my job is to teach and bring in more students, but today he said he does not want employ ppl to teach and mark only. Why am i here?

Little thoughts and acts that touched the heart

As a tutor, i din really expect to recieve much gifts from students as we only see them once a week. The greatest gift that i wanted from them is scoring A1s! cos that would prove that i am doing the right thing.

This is the first time i recieve such a cute report book.*sweat*

Though not perfect, i am touched by their actions

Their thoughts and actions do brighten up my day a little as i am so busy recently with the renovation works going on for my new place. Really not so easy, though we are already making things so simple!!! Gambate...

Peace of mind as now he's my ex-tuitee

He is my neighbour living on another floor. Quite smart and he got into anderson sec with his results. But his hormones changes are turning him bad. He lies a lot and doesn't like his family, just because his mum? i do pity him and want to help him. But he is not helping himself and his results doesn't improve and his soul is not with me when he does his work. My tuition will not help him in any way if he just come for the sake of coming and tries to come up with excuses for not able to come for tuition. His mum beg me to help so i tried, but still failed. cos he is not turning up for tuitions at all and i am sick of all his excuses every week. I wake up early on sunday morning and wait for him so many times and he din turn up without informing me showing how irresponsible he is. I did told him that if he doesn't want tuition, just tell me, but he say he wants tuition. [WTF, he is just trying to give the politically right answer.] Recently he sees me like enemy, siam me whenever he can. I bet he is doing stuff which he shouldn't be and scare that i just 'open up all his cards'. When he sees me online, he will disappear offline. The msg he posted pissed me off
'A guiltless twisted lie It made me learn to hate you' I dun care who he is referring to, definitley not me. But for so many lies that he made, we should be the one saying that! not him!!!
The moment he saw me, he went offline as usual today. And i just posted him the msg:
hey guy, i have already told your mum that i am not giving you tuition any more, so do not have to worry about seeing me early on sunday morning and neither do you have to come up with any more excuses. Hope that you grow up soon and be responsible for yourself and your actions. Take care!

 After sending that, i really feel shiok.

是非

积一点口德吧,人家也很可怜,也没直接得罪你,无意间因为一个她,让你犯下了三项恶业,

妄语,两舌,恶口,就算你不信但也种下了恶因。果报成熟时就会怨天怨地,也不明白为什是

你,因为因果成熟恐怕不时今生今世所能见到的。。。
