Boring June Holidays !

I called it a boring holidays! Not sure if my kids feel the same. Didn't bring them to anywhere though was on leave for 5 days. The only place I brought them to was the Explorer kids in NTUC Pasir Resort, the rest of the time, they stayed at home watching DVDs and playing with PSP games.

Felt rather guilty when I read Derrius's composition yesterday. His teacher asked them to write a compo on "My school holidays" and all he wrote was "I played PSP during my holidays, it was fun. I watched my dad played PSP...I played PSP almost everyday...and so on". All was about PSP and DVDs. I know i should not be giving him gamestations to play juz to keep him occupied but I have no where and no time to bring him out. I muz really plan something for them this end December holidays, maybe some holiday classes...Oops...they're gonna be mad..

" Yummy yummy...I need to eat before we play ! "

Oops...I can't talk !!

Ready for their monkey acts

P-Plate No More !

Today is my official "P-plate" No more day!
The reason for displaying the plate is to alert other motorists to look out for probation driver ahead, be more forgiving and generous about road space when around new drivers but it is always being interpreted as : "Look out, probation driver ahead, can bully !". It's quite frustrating that these road bullies like to cut into your lane without signalling or will just shiver their cars around . Sometimes they even shine their head lamp to "Warn" you. But I am not a nice driver too, i won't allow them to cut into my lanes abruptly, I will follow the car in front very closely, not giving them any chance and if they knock onto my car, pay me for the repair !

P-Plate No More !

Supportive

It is so easy to forget to tell people how important they are to us, especially our parents. Throughout the years, I have learnt to appreciate them more.

Recently Dad fell sick and I was rather worried. His red and white blood cells fall below the average range and was referred to SGH for a thorough check up. He has insisted that I follow him, I guess he felt more at ease and comfortable with me around rather than my two brothers. He is due for another check up and will get his blood test results sometime in August, I guess he should be alright since the Hospital did not call us, cross my fingers.

This father's day was rather quiet. Both my brothers, as usual don't bother. The elder said, "I am having bad cough, cannot come over." The second gave the excuse that everytime he asked my parents out for dinner, they would reject his offer so he did not ask this time. Sometimes parents just want their kids to show concern or ask even though they feel that all these celebrations are just not necessary. They feel shiok to know that their kids care !! But of course, I am genuine.. *wink* . We gave him a red packet as Father's day gift, same as mum on Mother's Day.

We have decided to "ta pao" and eat in, since dad doesn't have good appetite. Brought some fried chicken and chicken rice for dinner yesterday, was glad that everyone enjoyed the dinner.

With This Ring I Thee Wed

The Legend of the Wedding Band

In a fair and far off country many centuries ago, a kind young King was married to a princess he loved so.Together they lived happily until one day their nation's worst enemy would force the King to travel far away.One night before he left, as he walked throughout the palace grounds, He tossed into a moonlit pool some pebbles that he had found.
As the lovely ripples widened from where the little pebbles fell; The King stood thinking quietly of the wife he loved so well.
And remembering the next day the surface he had seen, He had a gold ring made to fit the finger of the Queen.

"There is no Ending or Beginning to the circle on this band," The King said to his wife, as he slipped it on her hand.
"And that's why I have chosen this golden ring To be a pledge to you that my love will last through all Eternity."And so, since then, a gold ring has been the symbol Of beauty, devotion, and the endlessness of Love.May all the Love and Happiness you two have found together, Like the circle of the wedding band, go on and on forever."

I couldn't find my wedding band yestereday's morning just before I leave my house for work. I was so worried that I almost turn my drawer upside down, inside out. My mind kept thinking : "Where, where, how, how? I need to go to work but my ring is gone, how, Dear is going to be very upset if I lost the ring!!". The only hope is to check with my maid if she has found it cos sometimes I will remove and just leave it on top the washing machine when I wash my hands or face. Her answer is "No". I was like "Shit, that's my wedding ring, you know, it's been with me for 11years and 3months, and now I have lost it??!!" Suddenly, I remembered, could I have placed it in my jeans skirt yesterday? Quickly I retrieve my soaked skirt, and found my ring in the pocket. Phew…was so happy. I must have put it in the pocket yesterday when I was removing the bird shit on my car, I didn't want it to get stained but instead I nearly misplaced it. How ironical. I am getting very forgetful, I can practically forget things that happen 5 mins ago; the process of me putting the ring in my pocket, totally erased !

I have always asked Dear to buy another sets of wedding bands since it's 10 years old but he has always insist that that cannot be changed cos they are the Originals and my finger did not grow fatter, the more there's no reason to change. Moreover they are custom made, full Platinum and cost us quite a bit when we first bought them. Dear got his ring enlarged 5 years ago when it became very tight, the sales person told me that it cannot be enlarged anymore, so stay put Dear, don't put on anymore weight.

Both the rings ever went missing 10 years ago. We went to Wellington New Zealand for holidays and were staying with my mom's friend then, both the rings went missing one day. We told my mom and her friends about it and the next day the rings were placed nicely on the writing desk. Her teenage son actually ' took' them. We were quite shocked , but didn't want to make a big fuss out of it since they were found and also didn’t want to embarrassed my mom's friend.

I remember on our ROM day after exchanging the vow: "In token & pledge of our constant faith & abiding love, with this ring, I marry you.", Dear actually wore his ring on my finger and me not realizing anything, still happily wore it, when came to my turn to wear the ring for him, I tried to squeezed mine to his finger. He must have felt pain or thought he had put on weight overnight !

"May all the Love and Happiness We have found together, Like the circle of the wedding band, go on and on forever."

Sayonara Lela

"Goodbyes will always hurt, pictures never replace having been there, memories, good or bad, will bring tears and words can never replace those feelings."

Today is Lela's last day at work! I am really sad *sob sob*, she is the longest colleague and staff I have ever worked with. Though sometimes cannot stand her "dili daliness", but she is one of the best Malay colleagues i have ever met so far. We have gone through alot of nonsense, changes and met many weird colleagues and staff, but we survived. Throughout the years, I became too comfortable with her that i began to take her for granted. I tend to believe that she is the least i need to worry, but I am wrong. The talk that we had few weeks ago made me feel terrible.
Hope she is more nasty and not so nice so that I can just tell her : "Good Bye and don't forget to clear all your things in your tray before you leave !!."

I hope she has made the right choice and wish her well from the bottom of my heart. She has promised to invite us to her house during Hari Raya Pusa but knowing her, she will probably sms us only on that day. Well that's her...I will just call her or self invite instead. Take care my fren!

My new gadget !

Finally bought the new Palm Treo 680. Was contemplating whether or not to buy for quite sometime since there isn't much difference between Palm Treo 650 & 680. Currently I am using Palm 650 but I just like the new 680, it's sleeker and comes without an antenna ! I have been using Palm Treo mobile phone since they launch their first Palm Treo 600. We paid about S$900.00 then for that set and since then, i have love to use Palm phone. Dear told me to buy since I like it and it's only selling at S$699.00 during the recent PC show. Moreover it comes with a free 2 GB SD card, a silicon case and 1 additional battery. After much thought, decided to get it.

The entire Suntec and Marina area were packed with cars and people. Luckily I drove my car with Millenia Walk decal on my front screen, the security guard allowed us into the carpark... phew.....

When we reached Suntec Convention Centre, it was packed with people! Everyone was going to the PC show! You just need to stand and people from the back will push you from behind. We looked out for the Palm logo and went straight to the counter. The sales girl was quite helpful before we bought the set but after we paid the money, she just disappeared !! She cannot be bothered to open and explain to us, simply passed us the paper bag and zoooooomm she left. We did not bothered to look for her cos the whole place was so stuffy and packed, we just wanted to leave that place as soon as possible !! If not because it comes with additional SD card and battery, I wouldn't go !

Dinner at NYDC

My irritating Sis-In-Law

How could they do that?? Cannot agree with my brother and his wife's act. Mom was away this few days and I have to take leave to look after my kids and send Derrius to classes. My "no-cheek" sis-in-law simply go to work (or maybe go shopping which she always lied???!!!) left her two sons and maid at home. Ryan called my dad at 12:30pm today asking him to buy nasi-lemak and noodles for them. I was quite shock, what are they taking my dad as? On call delivery man? Can't their parents take care of them, if not can't their parents have the courtesy to inform my dad in advance? They have been preaching self independence, have been "threathing" my parents that they want to send their kids to the childcare and they can handle their kids well, so what now??? My mom is only away for THREE days and they can't even take care of their own problem? My that good for nothing sis in law, should be thankful to have such good parents in law, everything is done for her, she still have the cheeks to say things behind my mom's back!! She is so STUPID to have said that to my auntie (i.e my mom's sis). She used to be stupid, guillible and dumb which people tends to forgive her acts, but now she has grown "older' in her brain, she has since hated by people around her, which is ME.
