School hols coming to an end - June 2022

Omg! I’ve never felt so exhausted like this 4 years ago! At least the exam was something I could manage n understand. Secondary school - totally different, topics returned to Teachers, way of answering questions are not like last time which included MCQ and short answer questions. 

Did a 10min planner on iPad. And tried to put in as much as I can, but still not enough. She hasn’t attempted any N’ levels yearly paper yet! And we only have like how many weeks to go? To think that I was so overzealous to photocopy 3 sets of papers for sciences n Geog. My god! I’ll be thankful if we can ever attempt once. 

School hols - Wk 1 : returned to school 3x a week. Made her try to complete all school HOMEWORKS by this week also. 

Wk 2 n 3 : had to fit in x4 appointments at Dynamics for assessments. Dilly dally getting home etc.. if only we had full days.

Wk 4 : went back to school twice. Had to go for eye appointment n KKH for scoliosis on 2 sepearate days. Sigh…..

When school re-opens , her MT LC and oral starts in week 2. She’s the first or second candidate so as what Laoshi said, she’ll have her oral on the first day. Good also, get it over and done with. BUT AIT MEANS she has lesser time for preparation. Darn! Not sure if she remembers anything or not also. TMD! Dunno how the heck she’s been “studying” all these years. 

EL ORAL IN WEEK 3

I’m just so so exhausted. Can we just whisk her off to some non-competitive country to study?

Nottie girl so sleepy …. and she’s finally wide awake now at 3! 

No fever nothing at all. So far only she and daddy took their first  💉(on different days tho). It’s a good decision that the man n I did not take 💉 together, only one man down at a time 🤣. 

Now thinking abt her second jab. should I send her to school. Somemore I chose a nice nice timing at 8.30am. This mummy is so bad.

I think the plant flies 🪰   love 🎶

If I just sit in the couch, there's nothing flying about (not that I know of). BUT the moment I start playing the electone or piano, the bloody 🪰 keep flying around me.

Nottie girl with her fav noodle. We haven't had this for ..2mths? 3mths?

20th June 2013

I'm just wondering how the opposite block residents can leave their windows so wide open. Don't they feel uncomfortable? My windows have been closed for many days, last evening after I got back home to a 190PSI reading, I closed up even that tiniest gap in the toilets.

20th June 2012

I didn't get to go on those rides in Dreamworld and Movieworld. Pretty sad! No one to accompany me, and not nice to have MIL and hubby waiting.

Che-che asked me why do I like to take roller coaster rides. I like the thrill and should do it when I'm still young (though I'm not getting any younger too.). At least when I'm older and look back, I can say l've done it before.

Footnote written in 2021 : 

And I'm still waiting for one trip with daring che-che to Six Flags. I hope I don't hv to wait until I cannot take rides 🤮 anymore. But hor....now I dare not take front seat anymore. Heartbeat faster also 😂.

Go away covid, we want our lost US trip back.

I had been wondering for weeks what stupid song my girls made up ＂我不会走看见的是..."

Now as I turn to look at the Chinese flashcards for Aricia, then I realized 8 characters r from there.

20th June 2010

Wah…...hubby told me that coming Tuesday is Bring Your Kids to Office day. Duh! And I've already planned a playdate for that day.

Sigh.....phone dead. My brain is dead. What was I suppose to do tmrw??!?!? 

The most dreaded thing that can ever happen to me! Notes, schedules and some recent photos/ contacts. ARGH! 😭

Temporary using lil' one's phone coz she dropped my previous old phone n spoilt it! No more spare phone at home with mini SIM card.

Hate this!

Deprived masak masak childhood huh?

My silly lil' one wrote this telling us what she saw in the Zoo. Haha! 

2011

I've a sheep and a donkey at home.

Che-che always like to say "like that meh?". So I call her my sheep

Mei-mei likes to say "oh! yah hor!" I mimicked her by going "yah hor, hee hor!". She's my little donkey.

Ah doh! One of the things I wanted to do this school hols is to re-organise the children's things from their wardrobe - other stuffs over to their room. Discard some stuffs and ............I totally forgot about it!!!

Just so borliao

Lil’ one wanted soba for lunch. And since I haven’t touched the cutesy bento stuffs for so long. (I still have them, I can’t bear to part with them coz most items were procured from Japan Rakuten)

She requested for the turtle. Do you know which is the turtle? 

If I clear these, I’ll have a cabinet space free. 

Still have the cute cookie cutters in another cabinet. I even Duffy and Friends bento and cookie cutters. A collection of bento books in Japanese. If I were to organise a garage sale, these items are sure to clear first. 

So cute right? When I wanted to bring my liquid aminos out,  I wanted to use the sauce containers. But alas! Too small lah!

4th June 2021

Tried 2 new recipes, something that is compliant for me. 

Hope they taste good

The fight with oil splatters. The smell of chilli made me cough. This better be worth the taste!

Was so excited to use the new food processor but it was a mistake as nothing was  blended, all ingredients got swept to the sides 🤣. Changed to my smaller blender attachment instead, finally got the paste I wanted 👍🏻

Yup! I planned to do both coz I need to fry the chilli paste. 

Messy kitchen to deal with later.

Next up, my otah. 

Been craving for otah but there’s nothing I can eat outside so decided to try and make it. 

The food processor did its job (finally!). I looked at the things I need to wash and clean later, then I wish I had a Thermomix. 

I thought it looked a lot but I only got 3 small containers. Freezed them n will try them tmrw. I hope I like this recipe.

3rd June - this girl’s first day out of the house in 17 days! Muahahaha! 

Out for an hour 15mins, only about 40mins in the mall (the rest in the 🚗). Bought her bubble tea and walked around the quiet mall, most shops close early.

I haven't been to the library here for a long time. Lil' one is not interested in the music section and went to the dance section. Borrowed 2 CDs for her, 2 music books. Would love to slowly go through the books, quite a rushed and noisy trip for me.

4th June 2016

We're on our way to join the revolution. 

Wait! Chiak first then revolt.

4th June 2015

The art of camouflage. Should hv covered her mouth! 

Nice basil. Wanted to give to neighbour but dunno who uses them. Then this girl started playing with the basil n lemon balm until all .... Aiyoh that troublemaker.

I hope I'm trimming correctly too. Keke!

Shucks! Back to the night guard sleeping style again! Now coughing is back to square 1 - cough like siao. This is the longest time I'm sick man!
