goodbye my friend

It was a colleague's last day today (30.12.2011), infact mixed feelings coz I'm happy he found a job which he has always been looking for. Sad that I can no longer see him around whenever I turn my head to my left while seated at my work station.

Nevertheless, I still wish him all the best coz I truly believe he will have a bright future coz when you are doing something you love, you will sure to excel and eventually shine like a star and make a name for yourself.

So Faud brother, I believe you can do it!! Please keep in touch and take good care of yourself!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I wish you hope, happiness and love in all that you do!

There is hope....in what you may ask.

In life and in this world...whenever you are ready to open up to make a change, to believe, to receive love, help, etc. with an open heart, I truly believe there is hope in pple and in the society that we live in....

Saw this document in CNA and was touched by this lady's story - Huang Li, a earthquake survivor in a town of Sichuan . She not only picked herself up, continue to live on but she is helping others to stand on their own feet despite she is handicapped herself.

this is truly a remarkable story and though a difficult journey but she fight on, with dignity, strength , passion and love. visit link: http://www.xinqicheng.com/index.asp for more info.

Do you want my spectacles?

Matt(pointing at a moving bus advertisement): what is that, mummy?

Me (squinting my eyes): ermmmmmm....where?? which one??

Matt(took off his spects almost immediately): oh mummy, you can't see is it?? why are you squeezing your eyes like that?? Do you want my spectacles??

Me: LOL....no need. I have PERFECT EYESIGHT!! But the words are really too small and so far away now, I can't figure that out..

Matt: ermmhhhh then you should wear my spectacles to make your eyes even more PERFECT what!!

Me (slapped forehead): Aiyo Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

such a cutie in your own way....

I rushed to city square mall in a cab to grab dinner for us both and as if like a ape who runs with 2 feet and uses 2 arms to bring the body forwad in a appy way....I walked and somehow fly home so fast and finally 'touched down'....LOL..

I saw my poor piggy, sitting slouching in the living room and I bet he is hungry...gry...gry...gry....he finished his dinner faster then he said: mummy!!!

We sat down, relaxed and watched TV....cutie little piggy placed my chucky feet onto his tiny-ier version of chucky feet....

Me: hey Matthew, what are you....errrr(pointed my leg on his leg)...doing?

Matt: oh mummy, don't you worry....I just want you to relax so I put your feet on on my (tiny feet) lah.

Me: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.....ohhhhhhh, you are mummy's cute little boy!!!

Matt(pushes up the spects): yeah, I know....

Me: (+___________+)

It's a waste of time.....

Matt(around 7pm): hmmmm mummy, what time are you coming home? I'm very hungry, you know...

Me(super sorry): ohhhhhh matthew, mummy need to work and will come home the soonest when I can.

Matt: hmmmm, hmmmmm...mummy, can you hurry a little coz I'm really very hungry....

Me(super pai sey): ok, mummy promised will fast fast reach home yeah!!
================================

Becoz of some irresponsible bugger, so I can't go home on time....seriously, what happened to the pple nowadays?? I'm hungry never mind, hearing it fm matt just reminds me, what I've done is seriously not worthwhile and a waste of MY TIME. the time could have been well spent when I use it for a fart!!!!

===============================
Matt(around 7:30pm): hmmm mummy, are you coming home anytime soon?

Me (no know what to say): okay, okay...mummy is actually in the bus now...can u hear the ding dong (mimic bus ding dong)?

Matt: no no, mummy...can I eat the bread inside the fridge 1st?

Me: oh yeah!!! how can I forget about the bread in the fridge??? Please eat it and wait for me at home, k??

Matt: okay...bye bye mummy!

Me (super guiilty ever): bye bye Matthew.....(hahaha, clever son...he makes sure he grab 'something' to stomach it whenever he is hungry!!)

should we move???

saw some new flats near my mum's place - telok blangah towers and we emailed HDB to check if there are any balance units. waiting for HDB to reply us....

actually I have mixed feelings about moving coz I love it here...afterall, we had stayed here for 7 years and 8 months now...and after we moved in for a day, I delivered Matt at KKH. so the flat is about the same age as Matthew, that is already a memorable event for us together with our flat!

To think that the day Matt was borned, his birthdate was opened on the same day and we never buy!!!!! 0410 on the day of 10th april 2004....huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we never buy!!! Let's see what HDB say then we decide what to do next....

Being a child

saw this epi fm CNA titled: being a child - featured primary school going children around Asia (Taiwan, HK, India, spore, Malaysia, etc.) and how pressured and stressed were their parents fm looking for a good school to moving their home to be near the prestige school in order to higher the chance fm getting into it to the number of extra classes to add on to the 'port folio' and how they enrol their child to prepare the primary school 'interview'....

I could only shake my head when I see all this happening not only in Singapore but all around the world...I can't say for sure if this is right or wrong coz every children wish the best for their child...but I have to agreed on one of the educator said: it might be your dream but it is not your child's dream to get into the school of your choice...

Another principal said:
I believe that very soon, we must come to realisation that it is crazy to cram our children to 8 - 9 extra activities in a week. We are exhausting them. They're left with no spare time to dabble in creative activities. Every child is like a blank sheet of paper. When they are learning, they are absorbing anything. at the same time, you need to allow them opportunities to explore and realise their potential because every child has different abilities.
We must let them explore and not restrict them too much. So I feel when we plan lessons and activities for children, do help with their arrangements. give them room to explore at their own pace.
Parents can observe fm their side and discover their child's potential.

What this principal said is so true to the core...what happens to those parents who could not afford the 2 / 3 / 4 extrat classes for their kids? It does not mean their kids will not be successful but I believe the amount the exposure still do a part. Of course, one may say...the more clasess they attend, the more exposure they get...true to some point but at the end of the day, the child will be the happiest when they are with us - the parents...not how many classes they attend, how thick is their 'port folio' in order to get into the primary school.


Yet another great principal fm Fresh Fish Trader's School who accepts students (whether with good or bad grades, and even give tuition to the weaker students to catch up) said:
regardless of social status, Hong Kong parents place strong emphasis on their kids' education, eventhough they may be poor. Everyone knows that education helps in social mobility.
Education will change your fate. You may be born into a poor family, yet if you study hard, you can change your circumstancces.

(the programme futher said, HK gave free educations for 12 years but family still needs to pay some money a year so school came up with an innovative ideal to motivate their students and parents alike to improve themselves)

Why do we reward supermarket vouchers and not stationery? We started off with staionery, but we realiexed parents weren't aware. But when we award supermarket vohcers, the students will show their parents. When their parents are buying things in the supermarket, they will think to themselves, my kid is quite smart to win this voucher. In this way, parents can keep track of their child's progress.

There is a saying fm this book I've read: Change a person, and you change a family. Change a family and you change a society. change a society and you change a county, and maybe even the world. I hope as educators we must exercise a responsibility to teach our kids well and to develop their talents to the fullest. This is my ideal.
========================

wow, it sets me thinking...what had we taught our child or the children around us?? Have we been showing a good example to our young or young ones around us? a simple act of kindness, of puting the blanket to Matthew...if I didn't show it to him, I wonder will he feel the warmth and love and so wanted to do the same to me?? It warms my heart to know there are educators who realy teaches fm the heart and we need more educators like this principal to be planted in all parts of the world....

my sweetie little piggy...

I fell asleep at the living room while watching the TV and woke up with the blanket on me...

Matt: oh mummy, you woke up oredi?

me: yeah....did you put the blanket for me?

Matt: yeah, me lah...I think you will be cold so I go to the room and put on you.

me: oh, you are so sweet huh.

Matt(with a super apa then look): yeah lah, I know what....

me (wide grin side to side): lol...

I'm dying for a getaway.....

after gyane said, to monitor for another 6 months...haha, gyane asked why I so naughty, never eat the hormones pills...seriously, I'm so afraid that I'll have depression above my already depression condition so I never take meh....then gyane said: condition of everyone is different and so will have abdominal pain instead....I was like: HUH???? Like that, I still wanna take the pills meh???

yeah, forget to mention, I bet why the cream shrunk the lumps in me is because of the whatever substance in it that will balance my imbalance hormones so, out with the pills and in with the cream!! another good thing about the Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream are : it get rids of water retention, increase metabolism and many many more!! I won't said it is a miracle cream but it works for me though!!

Finally I can set my mind to plan for a getaway...I've been wanting to go for one specially BKK...since 2008, 2009 and 2010 then one story after another happened so neber get to go for one to R&R...But now the flood came....gotta wait for flood to tide down or at least dry up before we set foot to BKK to shop till we drop!!! hahahahahahahahahaha, I can't wait for this day to come....

I wanted to go HK too but it's so costly compared to BKK....I missed those carefree days where I could fly to anywhere, I want and wish and could....USA, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, BKK, Vietnam, etc. Frankly, I could still do it now but as we age...our priority changes too....

K'NEX | Shop | Monster Jam

K'NEX | Shop | Monster Jam

went to see gyane yesterday....after 6 months fm the last day op.

while I was getting ready for the ultrasound, the annoying mobile phone rang, rang and rang. after answering the phone, I took a deep breathe to let the doctor scan and do her staff on my belly and Vi Vi...and continued to wait for 2 hours for the result. when It was my turn to see the gyane, he pause for a long while and said:they had shrunk!!! to my surprise, it became smaller....

remembered I burnt my pocket and signed up a massage package? they recommended me to use: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream (see details at this link - http://www.meditrina.com.sg/Detail.php?ProductID=10) and after using it for less then 2 weeks, I believe it is the reason the cysts and firbroids had shrunk... this cream is Specifically developed to alleviate hormone imbalance symptoms and beauty problems related to hormonal imbalances.

I was quite skeptical about the benefits of the cream but I just use it anyway coz it comes free together with the package..who knows this is really working for me!!! so so so, I'm gonna use this cream faithfully once a day and once at nite...though the original price don't come cheap at all - $178 for a mere 75ml....nothing comes cheap these days but if it can prolong your life (somehoe), it's worth every penny to buy it and use it!
