My Family

Took these family photos after little brother’s commencement.

My love ones!

COCKROACH!

Since the toilet in my parent’s room is not in use, it has become a changing room for my mum and myself. Yesterday night, I did my usual preparation before I go to bed. Took out the clothes that I am going to wear for the next day so that I can hang it in the toilet.

A small, dark form in my parents’ room, parked inches away from the doorway, stopped me dead in my track. Xuan’s blog pop into my mind instantly. I find the situation so hilarious when I was reading her blog. Now that the damn cockroach is right in front of me, I don’t find it as funny anymore.

Unlike Xuan, I do not have the courage to even look at the damn thing. I did what I usually do – I ran out screaming: 有蟑螂! I think I am luckier than Xuan because my parents are not asleep yet.

Armed with a can of Shiedox and a broom, my parents scrambled into the room to try and catch that damn thing. My mother tried her hand at killing the damn thing by spraying at it. Unfortunately, that damn creature actually flew and landed on their bed. Now, that is disgusting! I hope I don’t have to sleep on a bed which has been scarmbled across by a cockroach before.

Anyway, my brother who is standing nearby, did something out of extraordinary. He actually used his bare hand to catch the damn thing… literally. On a side note, he has a plastic bag over his hand. However, to me, he did such a brave thing. The little boy who use to run screaming with me, the little boy who use to use me as his shield whenever such creatures are in sight can evolved into someone so brave. That very night, my impression of him went a notch higher. My Hero!

I went to re-look at Xuan’s blog and I have to totally agree with her. The criteria that my husband has to be brave enough to catch any bugs or disgusting creature is STILL VALID AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I don’t think I want my husband to run screaming along with me.

Dearie… Are you looking at this?  Please morph yourself into some super bug or creatures’ destroyer / catcher. I will love you even more for this.

Happy 17th Monthniversary

Was home alone on Saturday morning. Because my brother couldn’t get me  tickets to watch his commencement. So sad, can? I was hoping to be there to cheer for him.

Dearie, being the nice BF he always is, got me prawn noodles and came over to my place so we can have breakfast together.

I have been pestering him over the weeks for my letter because our monthniversary is over and I have yet to receive one. That sneaky fellow threw in a surprise yet again for me.

While I was busy in the kitchen, getting ready to go out with him, that boy planted his hand-written letter underneath my blanket. Throughout the day, I did my best to pester him for my letter.

That night, as usual, he will send me a msg telling me he is home safely. But now with a newly, added statement of  “记得盖被。”Not his usual way of saying good night.  I should have gotten suspicious. I should have gone to my bed and flip over my blanket to check. But, I was too tired and it didn’t occured to me that the boy had planted a surprise for me.

When my hair finally dried and I scrambled off to bed, the surprise fell out of the blanket when I was preparing to sleep.

Dearie.. That was really sneaky but sweet of you to plant that lovely surprise for me. Love you!

Commencement 2009

My little brother 终于毕业了! Congrats!

Welcome to working life! Haha…

Busy Period

Tings was right! Cobweb is growing on my blog… Have been an awfully busy period for me… Both with work and something personal.

Somehow, this period is not so draining as I thought it would be. In fact, I welcomed this busy period. Will continue to be blissfully busy for the next few months… So people, I may not be a frequent blogger for now.

For Dear Sian

It has been 5 days since Sian’s big day and I am still grabbling with the fact that she is now YS’s wife. I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand, I feel happy for my dear friend because she managed to find someone she love so dear and someone who can take good care of her and 疼 her. On the other hand, I cannot imagine that my dear friend here has already move on to the next phase of her life.

After all the planning/excitment and as that big day draw to a close, reality presented itself right before me. Sian walking down the aisle to YS, Sian’s humourous and touching vows to YS which make alot of us tear/cry, YS’s montage to Sian and Ting’s montage to Sian. My dear friend is no longer a ‘Miss’. She is a ‘Mrs’ now.

I guess I still has yet to get over the fact that we are no longer teens…. I guess I got lost in my imagination that we are still in JC.. Still kidding around, going gaga over certain actors, gossiping, shopping and doing stupid things…

But dear friend, I am honestly happy to find a friend in you. Of course, not forgetting Ting, Xuan, Shi and Jer. I appreciate and value the advice, the company, the ’scolding’ and the counselling that you have given me. Please be blissful always. And I have seen Ting’s blog. Yes… YS is the lucky one.

I will not forget our 约定. You must not as well. I will be 幸福. You must be 幸福 as well. Love you.

My Little Bro Is Back!

I never thought I will miss him so much when he is away in Europe. But hell, I do! The 3 weeks when he is not around, I realise I was wrong. I do miss you rather badly, little bro. 

Kindly strange not to see your face around. Miss the usual “suaning” we had for each other. And most importantly, noone for me to pick on. Damn… Life can be quite miserable and plain without you around.

Therefore, I am extremely delighted that you are finally home safe and sound!!! YEAH! I am all ready to listen to your adventures tonight! Ke Ke….

PS: You still owe me money for the travel insurance.

Its That Time Of The Month Again!

What are you guys thinking? I’m referring to our 16th Monthniversary!

Am pleasantly surprise to find a letter tucked underneath my pillow when I stayed over on Sunday! Dearie’s letter to me for our monthniversary! How sweet!

Love that surprise, Dearie!

HAPPY 16TH MONTHNIVERSARY TO US!

Our Breakfast

The morning after Sian’s wedding, we decided that for a change, we shall make our own breakfast. Honestly, this is Dearie’s suggestion. I guess it is to stop my incessant fussing over why he never make breakfast for me.

Went for a quick marketing over at Sheng Siong Supermarket. And Ta-Dah! There you have it! Our breakfast!

Sunny-Side-Up, hotdogs as well chicken ham, complete with tea and newspaper ( for measured effect). Looks yummy eh? Are you guys seriously salivating now?

Sick On MC

Dearie said this is the first time I had MC after knowing me for so long. Yeah… Today, I am at home, sick on MC – first time on MC since I become a teacher.

In these few short months alone, I have been quite a frequent visitor to the doctor. Always the same old ailments – Sore throat, cough, flu and now with the latest addition of slight fever. My voice sound so horrible now. But to begin with, my voice had changed since I become a teacher. My student said I sound like a guy. So depressing, can?

Its not a nice feeling, staying at home on MC. Especially after the drownsiness wears off. Reality hit me harder than I can imagine. Started to think about my stacks of files that need me to go through. The unmarked homework. The admin stuffs. I think I need a dose of medication to help me forget all the work…
