Came across this song by accident on YT. The music made me tear. 太好听了. Had to look for this score, which reminds me I haven't sat on the piano or organ stool for a long time 😂

我的天啊‼️ it's from a movie 20years ago! Which mountain or jungle have I been hiding for 20years?!?!

Ok, I'm more like the guy...tho I pack lesser clothes than him coz I tend to recycle clothes by handwashing clothes n undergarments. Haha!

Though I can never beat my sister, who always pack her stuffs into a haversack. I'm talking abt her long

trips to winter Norway for ⛷️ . 我的天啊‼️

Turn Left or right?

#ionlyhave80mins#

When u can't decide where to go, just go for both. A bit of goodness in both direction.

feel like going for a dip too. Feeling hot - 27° C. Sun glaring (forgot sunglasses n cap 🤦🏻‍♀️)

At least on this side the condo is blocking the sun rays.

Feeling like a 🧛🏻‍♀️

I just shouted at one fucking China lady in guardian pharmacy. She was directed to queue at the cash payment counter by the vitamins sales lady when nobody's at the counter. When there's a snaking one queue you know one queue then you see which counter is available. Of course the discretion of the payer to see which counter he/she has to go, then the person behind can go??)

So many ppl told her to join the queue. You know the damn China ppl always want to argue "becoz I'm directed here." We said queue behind. She argue with everyone like a innocent woman, which they are always good in acting. I told her join the queue behind coz everyone is queuing, she is jumping queue. Until I got so mad that I raised my voice in public "just shut up and join the queue." Best part is when she said I shouted at her, the man behind me

"no she wasn't." He plus some others were not pleased with her.

It's over! This is a precious picture.

With her good friend here.

First thing she did after her paper.

Ear candling. Time to relax girl....you've done your best.

2nd relaxation

Footnote written in 2023 : 

I wasn’t joking when I said that my monthly cycle halted the whole year. And on her last day, relief overcame and my cycle resumed on the day! I was really under tremendous stress as I was on solo with 2 kids with no helper and no help. I was usually so tired. Then, I was only 39. I don’t even think my 48yr old body today would be able to take this kind of stress. 

And for this pampering after her paper, I truly deserve one too! 

30th Sep 2013

I decided to consolidate theirs together (initially it was written seperately until i got a little confused)

Scary! 2 school- going kids! Teni Poon-Atmadja how do u handle your 4!! Must call you Wonder Woman

Blessed with this flower tea from Loh Moo Han earlier on when I passed her the free mangoes I received.

Make me so paiseh, she 破费

She wants me to sleep a lot a lot, perhaps she knows I've been having insomnia lately.

Honestly this looks really interesting and I will try it tonight.

Thank you so much MH!

Managed to stop a guy from tailgating out of carpark 👍

幸好我的车屁股扁扁 😬 I braked and braked, speed

up and braked. Waited for the arm to come down then drove off 🤭. Saw him reaching his IU. 😂

I'm either smart or he is still not good in tailgating ppl.

28th Sep 2023

아줌마 Aricia craving for korean, been harping at me to bring her here for quite some time.

Meal for 2. Only one rice, should ask for 1/2bowl of rice instead, shouldn't waste rice

The staff is so nice to change my drink to barley tea instead when I told her I'm avoiding sugar

Like a greedy girl. Only the chicken is hers

While I have an empty plate

This one I want! I should have ordered more

28th Sep 2023

Blessed with 2 boxes of mangoes from my lovely tenant.

Thanks to special delivery by my dear friend S  who came to where I was to give it to me. Not forgetting the manly strength from her hubby to help carry the boxes into the car for me. 감사합니다 H.

Now.....how? Che-che Athena Ting not here to eat so.. I think I have excuse to cheat now 😂

28th Sep 2021

I need some energy. Rose pls give me some 🔥 

28th Sep 2021

Found a (I think) smarter but still backaching way to clean the whole big bunch of peanut roots.

Day 1: Chopped off the stems and discard the bulky parts. Portioned out and vacumn seal so can put in fridge

Day 2 or whatever: unpack few packs at a time to do massive cleaning. These small 4 packs took me an hour plus of scrubbing. Dry them out and then vacumn seal and put them back into fridge.

Still have another 5 or 4 packs? I will do them slowly... just like cleaning ikan bilis, do it bit by bit when I have that short timeframe in between.

Our heads are lighter, her shelf is half cleared.

Footnote written in 2023 :

I was so done with PSLE then! Thank goodness second and last kid.

#stopattwo#

28th Sep 2013

Read that this year's PSLE papers so far are easy.

Was talking to tutor n she said she heard the same thing. "I did say that this year's would be easy, so next year would be hard." So suay! Then she started counting for Aricia's turn. "Wah! So suay!"

We understand abt the bell curve but ...morale of kids would be low if papers are hard.

-读书郎-

Can't seem to get the song off my head. Her mumbling words and her funny pronunciation for some.

This is the part that got me laughing :

啷里格啷里格隆咚锵

She reads as "lang little la little la dong giang" then repeats it coz she knows she made some mistake, then makes more mistakes.

Footnote written in 2023 : Who is this? I think it’s lil’ one? 😆 

28th Sep 2010

I screamed at my helper, very pissed with her today.

Really seeing red. For the record, this is the first time I screamed at her since she started working with us since 2006.

Mangoes from my kind and generous tenant. Thanks to S for sending it to my place earlier on.

Now gotta think what to do with them - mango juice, mango jelly, mango as it is, mango xx?? 😅

26th Sep 2024

Is someone, the LSS i bumped into in July's JP flight home (you know who you are), going to tell me

"torlong lah Lily!.... 🤣

From the person who hates to pack so much, | left SIN with a 13.8kg luggage bag and returned with 19kg + 3.5kg (pink bag). We don't even utilise the 70kg between us 😂

And I'm still finding ways how to pack lesser for trips 😝

I like to see people (party of 2 and 4) struggling in trains with so many luggages and comment "see lah! Bring so many bags!

One plant back in toilet, the monstera is still under intensive care in the yard. Positive note, new leaf spotted on the monstera.

Maybe need a few more days before it will be back where it should be.

She wanted a short nap of 30mins. And refused to sleep on my bed, where I've laid the new bedsheets.

Hvnt laid hers yet but she didn't care. And so disciplined she is that she's holding onto the alarm clock to make sure she wakes up. She always does this. And the funniest thing is she hates to set the alarm coz she's scared of the alarm bell. Can u imagine what kind of sleep she has in the night? On/ off kind.

It only...

Now I treasure this moment.

26th Sep 2013

My little girl has finally turned 7. And her theme is - Doc McStuffins. Everytime she must choose a theme that is not easily available here.

Prepared these but didn't put these on the cupcake boxes with the ribbons (luckily I didn't precut the ribbons otherwise I can't do anything with them now) as I ran out of time. Reached her school late, only left with less than 10 mins to present everything on the table.

Preparing the lozenges. If you notice, every year before any of their birthday I need to reccee around for ideas to put in the goodie bags. I recalled this sweet I used to eat when I was younger and manage to find it.

Good idea for lozenges coz' you gotta pop the foil.

was elated when I saw these biscuits with this kind of rectangular size. I had wanted to do the "plaster" on wafer biscuits. However I'm always so concerned about hygiene and how I'll need to pack it up again (double job).

l've got kisses for you.

What medicine to type? Paractemol sounds a good idea.

Lozenges and paractemol all done! Pharmacist can rest for the day

Honey stars all wrapped up. Wanted to put colouring paper in the goodie bag until I thought of this.

Yes! Yes! Shipment arrived just few days before I start to pack the goodie bags

Balloons and stickers that were ordered quite some time back

Goodie bag

School Celebration: Cupcakes

Cute?

My dummy cake with her cupcake on top of it.

It's the time of the year where I have to wreck my brains on what to get for the teachers. I don't like easily purchased items, where teachers will have the same thing from almost every students.

For the second year, l've asked my friend to help me make personalized gifts.

Chocolates all wrapped up. Oohh.... the smell was ...... I was practically salivating.

Cards prepared, stickers cut and pasted, toppers cut and scored

was really happy to find these removable adhesive dots online. You know the type where banks stick your credit card. So my wrapper won't spoil.

And the finished products!!

Assembling the chocolates was quite fun. I was practically playing "majong", had to move them around to make sure the designs don't end up next to each other etc..

The lovely personalized stationery holder.

The final packaging. I must have been the most thoughtful mother to have each teacher's gifts all bagged up. Otherwise teachers have problem carting back into their stattroom. But....

.. not everyone is happy.

My girls complained that they had to carry the bags.
