Wax factor

My cousin from London is back for a break. Yesterday she came by for a visit. Only now then i know this cousin of mine is studying Architectual designing in LHR! Wah way to go gal.....^-^

She shared wif me that she's gonna have brazillian wax done today. Ermm....sori fyi i'm kinda confuse between brazillian waxing versa binkini waxing only till yesterday......ha!

Binkini wax = shaven hair along the bikini line area. Still acceaptable. =)

Brazillian wax = "Botak" down under!! OMG...!!

This kept me thinking...

Brazilian waxing can be an adventure. First, i guess it takes guts to go to the saloon to have it done by a stranger no doubt that person is a FEMALE. Going through that ordeal is also very traumatic. Imagine lying down aka "child-birth" position is bad enuf some more have to turn back to do the rear....hot wax over it and strip down & out....OUCH !!!!! Cannot take it man.....=.=

Must salute my cuz... afterthat the 'maintainence' must be well kept orelse.....'durain' le Lol....

Conclusion: I'll still respect mother nature. As for Bikini waxing, been there, done it, the furthest i can venture. Wax factor rate 2/10. I'm more a Veet mouse shaving fan.

Read from a friend's blog.

Said that he loves to walk in rain at night....why?

-So nobody can see him cry....

I know he is hurt. Hurt by Love. But does he know the meaning of loving a person really is? No one is a casanova, even me, I'm still on the road of learning to love my dh. Learning to love my kids, my parents, my siblings and the people around me. It's a never ending story in mankind. Love is patient, love is kind...blah blah we all know that but i guess its more that just I luv u, u luv me kind of stuff....(",)

When i was a teen, my love life was pretty simple, innocent puppy love, sweet and forgetable haha...still young mah also dunno what's true love is.

Teens nowadays matures early. They experienced BGR fast. Comes and goes easily, one after another. However, my blog pal here seems to be passionate or should i quote him as the wishy washy one. One minute said break liao then next minute cannot forget her......hiaz

Friend, as i've told u before. Study is top priority then everything will flow. Everything takes time, so does Love...remember that. ... ... . ...

Crying inside

"You ask me if I loved you, and I choked on my reply, I rather hurt you honestly..."

This is my blog song. Heard it, luv it.

Asked myself, "if i really loved someone, will I choked on my reply?" Definetly not.

However, when i heard it today, i have a second thought. 13 years of marriage, living together, sharing one bed. Pratically having your presence everywhere. We joked, we laughed, we quarrelled. I guess this is an daily event that every couple has experienced before.

This week, ds having his CAs. During this period, i became paranoid, dunno why, also dunno how to cope with my tense feelings over exams. Perhaps in my school days, I was like that. Always wanns strive for the best to be the top in class. But sadly, my ds seems not to have my 'kiasu' geane. He seems so relax, nva auto take his textbks out for revision....hiaz

Questions like:
-whether ds is well-prepared? can he do well in his exams?
-what if he fail, it will be recorded in his report book!!
-If he fails his exams, am i to be blamed as i am working? Should i stay home instead?
-Got tuition still fail? waste $$? or change tutor?....so many "what ifs" !!!!! >.<

To top my frustrations, my dh does'nt bother about their school work. Very rarely he goes into their studyrm to check on them. I know he had a hard day's work but at least show so concern lah! Kids spelling scored 100% also no praises. Do u know the purpose of letting you sign their work? Did you know what are your kids weakness? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

I dun mean to slam dh in my blog but I am really tired. Communication amongst couples are an essential expat of everyday living. I feel that we are still in the olden days whereby husband rules everything, wife to obey. As i grow older and wiser, read more and learn more, I have my say too.

While i was typing this blog something caught my eye, "Chicken Soup For The Soul". Oh yes! I remembered this book. It was the first edition that I bought many years ago. Read tru on Love, Marriage and Parenting. It has opened my heart and my soul, a good wake up call indeed! Perhaps i should see things in a different point of view and not being claustrophobic. Well I guess we should embrace what we have at present and live life well. I love you...

Rest day

I am on leave today as my kids have no school. (PSLE oral)
Surpose to go United Sq to buy a b'day gift for my niece but mum has got sumthing installed so I just add in my share...."Save the trouble to go out. Tx mum.. =)"

So staying home today, go through Chinese wif my ds as his CA2 is next week. If not, our 'friend' cannot go Genting wif us.
Well again, am i so cruel to not let him go, if he does'nt do well in his CAs? Of course not. However, I hope at least there's a target for him to strive in order to fullfill his Genting holiday.

Last time in my school days where got everytime go holidays?!! Teach my son moral " xian ku hou tian"- suffer first then enjoy what you've sowed. Then again, do chn nowadys understand the meaning?? They get what they want, just by a snap of a finger.
Sori, not for my kids, they gotta earn for it- at times, Lol.
I wannna let them have a feel things dun come so easily. ... ok ok sori, begining to be loh soh...better stop. ^_^

Haaa~ at least today no need to rush, can relax a bit.

Still go into my friend's blog to read. Perhaps its part of my habit liao. ... from there i am able to know at least how are things going on, whether sad or happy, can study or not...etc so far my friend is doing ok. See how long can job+study last..... ;p

Today went to work by cab as both my dad & dh are not in town cannot hitch a ride from them.

My resolution for 2008 > Get a DRIVING LICENSE which at the present moment seems blick :(
My dh discourage me to drive...which i dun understand till now lo!! >.<
Now the car is parked nicely in the carpark to collect dust. Haiz~~

School as usual, nothing interesting. Tk goodness I need not stay back today. went lunch wif my galfriend. My treat this time...remember u paid for the korean bbq? Lol....

Lunch was good. We ordered

Appettizer:

garlic baked escagot>> okok soso... end part a little burnt

tangy buffalo wings>> awesomely yummy...skin is crispy, meat well marinated. Luv the sauce!!

Main course set meal: mushroom soup, garlic bread, beer battered fish N chips>>Big portion!!

Dessert: coffee and vanilla ice cream.

All below $50.00. Its located in one of the industrial buildings near my centre. 1st timer may find this place ' wo lu'. If u are interested, drop me a post in my Cbox and i'll reply wif the address.

Went to hunt for another tutorial centre for my ds as I find his current tuition did not show any progress. There's one newly opened @ Balestier Plaza called Kip Mcgrath tuition centre. spoken wif the centre's director she seems sincere and patient wif my queries. (sort of testing her ;p)
The environment looks conducive and clean. These are some factors that I'm pretty particular abt :) will bring ds for an assesment on Friday. Hope it will be a good motivation for ds.

As parents, its a real headache finding the right place & right ppl to tutor our kids.
Home tuition ever crossed my mind however feedbacks from friends & tchers that as its one to one coaching, the child will find it draggy and not challenging. Futhermore its in a familiar place, the child will find excuses to slack and waste time. Really not an ez task!! tsk tsk....=_=

So much so for my kids....I still haven't have my hair done... sob... sob...

Holiday

We are going for a holiday during the september holiday. Dh has booked a 2 rm apartment @ Awana Resort Golf & country club @ Genting Highlands. Dh will be driving there. Driving up on mon am. My friends will be meeting us there on wed.

This time round, I am packing more warm clothings. The last time we went Genting, dh said it was'nt cold there so din pack any sweater. To my dismay, it was raining throughout and of course, it's freezing!! I got sick and had to stay in bed for the whole day in the hotel rm :(
-Thanks to my dh lah >.<

This time i am gg to pack according to my own instinct and i bet my dh wun even dare to whimper or give unfavourable remarks. I told him : "This time shut up, I'll do the packing. U concentrate ur driving can liao." hahaha!....Lol

My kids were excited and looking forward to the trip. It's their 2nd time to Genting. Pray hard hope the weather is good. (raining on our last trip)

Son, u have promised us to do well in ur CAs then go Genting. If not, sori dude, u r gg to be grounded and stay back in SIN.... Its up to u son! ;)

okie gg for my dinner @ Sq 2 novena. Tuning next time....bb

ps: I've just uploaded song 'Sometime when we touch' by Olivia Ong. Its soothing and i liked her voice. Hope u'll enjoy this song as much as i do. ^-^

Happy 43rd National Birthday Singapore!!

Thank you Singapore for giving us a safe place to live in. Away from natural disasters and away from proverty. <3

Look who's shekking

For 2 consecutively days- thur & fri I worked full time. 8am to 7pm, 11 hours straight :(
Totally shek out! Surposed to pamper myself to novena- hair machenics for a hair cut but kanna asked to stay back to cover for another tcher's duties. So gone wif my hair pampering day :(

080808-Friday: The eve of National day. We had a mini celebration at centre. Only 3 tchers to handle a 'strong' crowd of monkeys Lol...although it was tiring, we had a good time. Everything was smooth going- party>showering>lunch>nap>Marco's b'day in the pm> i followed sch bus>back to centre. Thanks to my 2 other colleagues A & V. Our co-ordination was good and that make our job effoetless! Hugs....

Went home finally can take a good rest, sudddenly felt my hold body went soft. looks like my body & brian went into 'relax' mode liao. Ha! Watched the opening ceremony of the 29th Beijing Oylmpic games. The perfomance was spectacular and breath taking. I am very proud of the chinese nationals. I think they've done a brilliant job. During the last part of the show (the lighting of the main Oylmpic touch, my heart pond fast. I was so afraid that the flames will extinguish. however, not only the fire was well delivered to the main touch, the fire was magnificant. The touch fired beautifully!! Yah....go go...wooo

Dd din do well in her math test- 9/20. Saw her paper, section A & B was good. Loose all her marks to problem sums. Asked her nicely what happen, she replied that she din read the question. Just simply 'got number' write number, + and - also anyhow fill in ~_~ She addmitted that she dun wanna be late for recess so she din read the questions! hiaz....

Her english test was good. Paper 1- Composition got 8/10. Paper 2- got 21/25. Overall I'm pretty happy wif her performance despite her math paper. I'm gald and praise her for being honest wif me. I always tell them, no matter what marks they got back from school, they must show it to me. Be honest, be true to oneself and that, pple will respect you. This phrase was 'created' for my ds. He once forged my signature as he din learn his chinese spelling. His teacher wanted my signature. I din not reprimand him but ask him why?....he gave me a resonable answer and i accepted it. I am not embrasses to expose him here, it's to let him aware of the consequences of the aftermath. I hope he learns to take responsibilities and grow up.

Ds, last sun u lost ur hp @ Ikea. We have a good talk and I hope you have learnt a painful but a good lesson. Please treasure your personal belongings in future.

random: See how long this 'careless' & 'forgetful' ds of mine can remember my teachings~ ^-^

“喜欢的不一定都能说出口　常常只能放在心中。。。”

My friend got the job starting work this thursday. I am elated but kind of worried as still studying. Wrote in the blog that wanted to study hard as din do well in mye. Then now, gotto juggle study+work, I'm quite scaptical. Well my dear friend, let u go and experience what's the working world outside then maybe u'll come to appreciated your studies. Good luck!

Gotcha-me

I'm soooo tired! Y'day watch HKdrama till 2am -_-

Today gotto wake up early to go back to centre for the Seventh month offerings. (btw it's my bossy who does the offerings, we go and show face can liao) every year the same.

Feeling very lack, I din bother to dress up- in Tee and shorts and wif my glasses. Hey its sat mah, moreover its an unoffical event so I dun give a damn.

BUT of all days, that person came!! OmG....totally caught me by surprise! My heart was pounding hard, find the place suddenly so stuffy. One part of me was so happy and the other part was like mah lu> my unplanned dressing >.<

Said to myself " Y do u have to come today? Can't u meet K sumwhere?" Saw me first time in my spec, said I looked funny. "Helllooo..... do i look that bad huh?!!"

Anyway the situation was in control, thk goodness got other colleagues there to chat wif. Shared wif us abt OJE. Has been looking forward to it. Wish u good luck hope u get the job. However bottom line, studies comes 1st.

dunno y I still harbours the feeling no doubt I am totally aware of the answer. Sometimes words are not meant to be spoken, it can only felt by the heart. Its the place where i can put the 'other side of me' safe, sound and untouched. The song "Sometimes when we touch" moved me, u played it in the bus that night. A memory to remember and be treasured.

Sometimes you just have to SMILE,
pretend everything's okay,
hold back the tears
and walk away......

Saw this phrase somewhere, find it cute so decided to post ^_^

Don't walk ahead of me,
I may not know the way.
Don't walk behind me,
I may not know how to lead.
Just walk beside me,
as our friendship last a lifetime.
