Been wanting to blog so much things but I don't know why lately I've been feeling so tired. My mind tends to auto shutdown at 12am, can't last through 1am. Shucks! And I've things to clear in my lappie etc....
Photos - I managed to finish up to Taiwan. I see all the brochures I lugged back from NZ to put in my albums also sian.. Yah, I tell you hor... when I holiday I don't do much shopping. Even if we do, it's mostly the kids and maybe hubby's. He has the mood to shop mah... I cannot shop, want to try clothes; kids make noise want me; I hear their voices; I tak boleh tahan. So why is our luggage always heavy? I like to bring back some brochures I take from each place, double (just in case I need pictures from the same piece of paper) & see if I need them in the album. Now I see the brochures, I get a headache and I've to separate them according to places we went. And placing them into the album is another story to tell.. I am so lazy now, instead of retyping the words. I cut what I've typed in my itinery and put it inside. Speaking about organizing albums, brother does it much better than me, he'll do more than what I do but lesser than a scrapbook format. Still! That will take alot of time (which I'm thankful that I'm not a diehard scrappie fan).
PTM - was last night. Peggy gave us an idea about the F.S.S the children have to take at the end of the year. Sounds easy but I dunno whether that girl can do it or not. She has problem with her hearing. Play one note, she can either get it right and sound very confident when giving answers or humtam botum from Do to Do. Argh!
Maybe some won't continue on coz' it'll be a non-parent sit-in kind. For me, I'm more worried if she'll interfere with the class & perhaps she might do better in an individual class. If not, I'll be happy for her to continue with the rests of her class before each goes their separate ways. (umm... I hate when it comes to this)
And again... she keeps mentioning that my expectation from her is too much. Very sian to keep explaining you know, afterall it's a group PTM not an individual PTM. She thinks and kept saying I'm too strict. Wah.......ay! I do praise my girl also you know?!
I know my daughter's faults, I don't deny them and I'm willing to share but for others to hear it - it can be very boring and like I said we're here for a teacher-parents meeting. Seems like my child is problematic. She mentioned something about autism and some parents want to deny it. I thought no, my girl is not autistic or has ADHD. She has CSSS - Cannot Sit Still Syndrome. I'm not denying any fact but even if my child has it, I'll be the first to bring them to specialists.
On a positive note, Athena loves to sing and dance. Which I thought I wouldn't mind her taking choir or Dance as CCA. By then I'll still be correcting her mistakes when she sings - heehee! mummy from school choir mah! Then there's handbells too... sadly they don't have violin, if they do I'd ask her to join. Funny! Hubby was saying "why join all these useless CCAs?"
Me : "Then join what???" (pause) Ah! I know, let her join Girl Guides. Ah-nia sure mati one..."
A day of relaxation
Wednesdays are days I look forward to. I love the company. I wonder what will happen next year. I want to continue our sessions and gossips with MH but ...... very sad life hor? Child grows older, mother also more restricted. But then mummies all need their circle of friends right?
Maybe next year I will get to know other mummies while waiting for my children to run to me at the school gate?
After our gossip session, we left and I had until 6.45pm to meet J (Eliz's mummy). Shopped a little, managed to get another top without burning much on my card. $60+ after discount. Cheap? As TM's basement was so tempted to buy Famous Amos cookies.......ooh...if only I can bake cookies as nice as that!
It was nice of J to ask for a dinner together prior to our PTM. I've known her since 2005 and we do talk but we don't talk alot .. I mean those kind of gossipy or fun talks to get to know her better. Usually just in time for lessons and then after that leave and there's no way to get her children on playdate with her coz she's working. Eliz, that sweet girl? That talented girl. Goash! She's the best in the class, just listen and she can play well. Sigh..........if only Athena has half of her talent I'll be happy. Oops! I got a lil' sidetrack.
Anyway, we had a nice chat over Grilled Fish Sambal in Swensens (the sambal don't taste that good as what I had tasted in another outlet) and there'll be more to come next year onwards while we wait for our children.
Miss Subaru
Miss Subaru is finally here. Parked side by side tonight, can see the stark difference in size. Moved over some things and then no space / no compartments for this and that. You know lah! my children sometimes need to watch DVD in the car. Can't hide it from view when storing it, no space for stroller. Argh! I knew its going to be a small car but I totally forgot about space for strollers. Even our cheapo stroller is too big so don't talk about our PegPerago. No space for strollers = I can't spend too long time outside with Aricia. Becoz it will mean I need to carry one huge bag of milk; diapers and my own bag and carry/sling her. And you think I will enjoy my shopping trips?
So... it means it's an :
1) indirect subtle way of hubby trying to tell me not to spend too much $ and better stay at home everyday
2) telling me to leave Aricia at home with KZ so that I can enjoy myself without a child screaming
It's also a 4-seater, which means not much space for extra passenger. If you wish to stash away the booster seat, still gotta land on someone's lap that kind of thing. So it means I can't be kind-hearted to offer to give friends a lift, if I need to. Aha! Got chance to use back Mr Nissan when hubby's not around. Reason " I gotta work the car engine mah....."
I thought the lady said the interior is beige? It's black?! I think the lady very blur or anyhow do sales. Said car ready for collection on Wednesday then say Thursday.

Hubby say cannot speed = he thinks the wife is a mad mother who not only drives herself against the wall but against the speed. With 2 children in the car, he expects me to keep to less than 100km "otherwise will skid". Huh? Trying to scare me or what? Shucks! I drive quite fast now have to suddenly go slow - not used to it. Okay, I get the hint >> "Athena, hurry up. (we're late) the car cannot go too fast." Citing the car as a reason, I get to be the angel afterall!
But okay lah, it's small which I think I will get used to it. Don't get used to it, also must right??
Last unit
Received a phone call about a last unit in Ambrosia, whether we want it or not. Ai yah, blur hubby wrote down my number then I start receiving sms-es when I don't EVEN HAVE MONEY TO BUY ONE ROOM!!!
