Well done..
Baby Elsie and Baby Chloe are 6 months young today! Yeah!
Well done to SHLY for their perseverance through the many sleepless nights, working dual shifts per day, stealing naps and eyeshuts where possible, trial and error sessions to pacify the princesses etc etc... Tough for all parents-to-be and even so when you have two kids with different character and they having their "unique" way of keeping SHLY occupied.. hee..
My SIL is lucky to be around at home most of the time where she can catch the baby steps Baby Elsie and Baby Chloe take as they grow day by day. No matter how tired SHLY are, I'm sure when Baby Elsie and Baby Chloe give SHLY their widest smiles and sweetest giggles, everything is worth it.
Well, there is also the mixed feelings which comes into play when you have kids and started to lose your own personal time to do the things you usually do and sometimes a part of yourself gets lost in the midst of taking care of the kids. Lifestyle will change and the thoughts running through your head will mainly be about your kids and your work of course.. we gain some and we lose some at the different stages of our lives..."To gain something, you have to sacrifice something", my brother's theory on law of conservation... true to a certain extent.. anyways...
Me carrying Elsie & Chloe in my arms..
Ready, get set.._ _ _.. (see below)..
Dar dar and I carrying who and who?
On this day, we celebrated my youngest bro's birthday and the whole family gathered up for a lunch celebration except Papa Chua who had to settle some matters at Bright Hill temple. We had our lunch at Owen Seafood Restaurant @ Turf City. It was a wonderful spread and a good deal cos there was a 30% discount for seafood and 50% for all other a-la-carte dishes.
It was a nice day out for the family and I enjoyed it lots!

Je m'ennuiePourquoi?
Parce q'il est toujours malade
Je ne sais pas quand il se rétablira
Maintenant je suis lunatique
La semaine prochaine sera occupée
Voulu apprécier ce week-end, mais...que vous savez
Ne peut pas attendre pour rentrer pour travailler demain..
je suis fol ou non..
:)
猜不透
My favourite Chinese song this season
猜不透 .. the lyrics goes like this..
猜不透
你最近时好时坏的沉默
我也不想去追问太多
让试探为彼此的心 上了锁
猜不透
相处会比分开还寂寞
两个人都只是得过且过
无法感受每次触摸 是真的 是热的
如果忽远忽近的洒脱
是你要的自由
那我宁愿回到一个人生活
如果忽冷忽热的温柔
是你的借口
那我宁愿对你从没认真过
到底这感觉谁对谁错
我已不想追究
越是在乎的人越是猜不透
Being too free cos my dar dar is sick, I decided to twig it a bit and this is MY version..
不明了
你为何如此执着于些事
我已不想去了解你了
让希望你聆悟的心 上了锁
不明了
忠言竟和教训没岔别
每个人得尊守所谓规则
无法感受每次交谈 是对的 是懂的
如果因为彼此的关系
得处处迁就你
那我宁愿关系平淡和不亲
如果曾有尽力去实现
你给的诚诺
日子就不是如此辛苦难过
到底该怎么做才是对
你该心知肚明
不然不会这么多人怕你了

CAI XIN FENG BAO.. episode 2 out of ???A simple advice led to 真心话... he really sucks big time!!!
Expects and wants monthly allowance
Wifey obligated to increase daily pocket money cos she's not preparing homecooked meals
Daughter splitted the family up
Never give him anything
Repay kindness with ungratefulness
I dun care what was said was in a fit of anger or not cos what was said cannot be retracted. I am unable to quantify and repay his kindness of upbringing as it was a decision he made when he chose to have kids. So he should be prepared to bear all responsibilities and consequences associated with the decision. Everyone has the right to expect what you want to expect and the expectations can only be met if you have paved your path well.. Obviously, he has failed.. Since one believes that there is a root cause to everything, it should be easy to comprehend now, isn't it? Fail to plan, plan to fail..

J'espère que mon mari se rétablit bientôt..Il a les ulcères dans sa gorge..
C'est très pénible et torturous pour manger et boire pour lui..
Et je ne peux pas l'aider...
Je crois que c'est c'est plus pénible que les fois précédentes...
J'espère que il se rétablit bientôt..

Manjusri Secondary School Alumni Homecoming cum Farewell Tea
I have a confession to make.. As I was driving along the route to my ex-Secondary school, the car driving in front of me came to a stop at the junction around Joo Seng Road/Cedar Girls School area. I was puzzled why the car stopped when there was clearly no car in front of it. I was going to press the honk but he switched lane and moved off. It was only at that moment that I realised why he did what he did. There was an injured cat on the road, it was hit by a car and struggling to get up.. :(..
I only thought of changing lanes at that moment cos ah boy and I were in the yellow box and a queue is building up behind me... Then as I drove off further and further, I felt sad and disappointed with myself for not turning back to pick it up and bring it to the vet. Though I didn't continue to drive over it, the act of not turning back to help the cat was already"very good". Anyone please scold me, I may feel better for my un-benevolent act.
This reminds me of a quote I read off my friend's blog, 'One has never known how to love until one knows how to love animals'.. sigh..I need to learn to love more..
Met up with tian, tian's sis and mingfen and walked along the path to
MJR for the farewell gathering organised by the Alumni Comitteee. The school will be shifting to a new location in Ubi next to my primary school, Maha Bodi Primary School wef 2009.
As we walked, we felt that the flats around the area looked new and different, probably due to upgrading projects implemented and completed during the past 13 years. It was refreshing to be allowed to walk into the school again. The 4 years in MJR was the most enjoyable time of my schooling journey. I felt excited and wanted to see the changes to the school, the classrooms which I used to attend lessons, the koi pond, the canteen etc.. etc.. We also checked out the extension of the school constructed after we left...
After collecting our little momento (a cup with a picture of our school gate on it), we went around the school taking pictures...
No more chalkboards
The cabinets where we secretly kept our textbooks have been removed.. The view from my ex-Sec 4-classroom
The new extension and the canteen...The hall is right above the canteen...
The quadrangle where we will all gather, sing school song, listen to announcements..Can see our school motto? It's Knowledge, Conduct, Benevolence and Aspiration..
Standing at the end of the technical block.. we will usually hang around below the block till the bell rings..
The nice garden area between the ex-canteen and the new extension..
Do the names sound familiar to ex-Manjusrians? Can you remember who taught you which subject? Some of the teachers showed signs of aging but some still look youthful for their age..
郑老师
Mdm Loh
Mr Eng
Ms Ong Siew Lean
Mrs Keh
Ms Ho
Who is that standing up? Do you know?
Teachers and principals on stage singing the school song... (Sorry, very small cos I was too shy to walk to the front or even to take pictures with them..)
I marvelled at myself for being able to recall the faces and remember the names of the teachers who taught me and knowing where to find the AVA room, the used-to-be canteen, the used-to-be home economics room, the used-to-be geography room, the technical block.. Funny how I can remember these yet not being able to remember recent things well.. some call this selective memory.. haha...
The principal gave a speech, we watched a commemorative video of the old and new school campus and we sang our school song. They asked for volunteers on stage to sing the song but no one went on stage except the teachers. Within 30 mins the tea buffet commenced, many started to take out their cameras to take photos with their classmates, the teachers etc... We just went to take foods from the buffet line and started eating because we didn't see anyone familiar from our batch as it was a super last minute arrangement before I could react and ask more people along.. Anyways, I like the simple vegetarian bee hoon and curry... yummy! We left soon after..
Everytime when I go near the area for 126 dimsum or durian with friends, I will think of walking near to the school to take a look but lack that push.. and finally.. this day.. It may be nice to go check out the new campus but it's fonder at the ex-school.. more feel..

The Return of the [V]
Last year, we went to catch The [V] Conference with my sis and bil. This is a conference starring Irene Ang & Chua En Lai, directed by Beatrice Chia-Richmond and written by Mr Miyagi. It was an hour plus of song, stand up and fun as Irene explores why some women remain single, childless and more importantly, happy. We enjoyed it lots..
So we were really glad there was this sequel... luckily we managed to buy the tics as it was already the last second screening... ;p The sequel was about Victory and Victim, starring the same persons, directed by Beatrice Chia-Richmond and written by V.A.Gina.
At St. James Power Station... and below are our drinks (included in the price of the tics)
If you have caught the performances, you would agree that Irene Ang looks really different from the Rosie Phua in PCK. I like her Guanyin-ma appearance best! We looked forward to seeing Chua En Lai perform again cos we feel that he is very talented and never fails to interest us.. ;)
Well, the Return was not as hysterical as The [V] Conference but still very fun and very hahaha! Look forward to the sequels...

It's all about the Attitude?Was thinking/looking back on certain things and couldn't understand why some things had to turn out this way? Why some people want to continously indulge and behave in those "even-little-kids-know-it's-obviously-wrong- and-senseless" manner? What could one have done better without having to face those fakey, awkward, tension-felt, unhappy events or moments?
I know that's just life but couldn't life be more worry-free and everyone is happy, optimistic and contented? Personally, at the moment, I feel like the songs, 稻香 by Jay Chou, 路一直都在 by Eason Chan, 猜不透 by Ding Dang.. Why does one have to indulge in self-pity, be self-centred, be selfish, form impression and show attitude at times? To me, life should be very simple and people are all good-natured but some people just have to prove me WRONG!
Maybe the problem lies with ME! Maybe I'm the one having the attitude and creating that idiotic impression which gets on peoples nerves? Someone, please enlighten me! Sometimes I ask myself, did I want things this way? Did I ask for it? I do not have the answer! I can only say, LIFE really sucks at times and I really want to steer clear of those things...
Sorry, this is just one of those moments where so many thoughts are running through my head, wonder if this is what people call 胡思乱想.. Alright, I kpkb finish liao.. sigh.. should go to sleep now and restart my "PC"... One thing I like about myself is being able to sleep away/play games to rid all the unhappy things (yeah!) though sometimes it still comes back to haunt me.. aarrrrgggghhhh..
