After months of training n practises, the P2 drama fest was finally here on Friday 24-08-12..
I was the in-charge of the P2 drama schedule... after 8 lessons, all 11 classes had done their performances that day, n i felt grateful tat everything went on smoothly n successfully.
I was the AV in-charge that day. Felt nervous for my R8, as they r always full of nonsense. Well,
though i preferred their performance during the rehearsal the day b4, but their performance on the actual day was ok too....
It was a busy week for us. After this event, i have to start rushing the syllabus. They still have year end exam to handle, mind u.
1 project on hand down. next, will b the mid-autumn festival bazaar (MAF), which will b held in Sept. Oct prepare them for exams, n Nov will b the p1's turn for the drama fest. Never ending programmes. Pity the kids this generation.
Coming Fri will the Teachers' Day Dinner (TDD). Well, so fast, the annual event is here again.
Going to have a relax weekend b4 the new week starts tomorrow!
Javier is turning 1 soon, real soon.. oh my.. time is travelling fast.. it just seems tat Javier is still a baby, n now he is going to be a toddler soon...
I've been real busy this year at work, tats y planning for his bday has been dragging n dragging.. XL is kind enough to ask me if there's anything tat she can help with, but i dun wish to trouble ani1.. It's just me being lazy most of the time.
But, as his bday is arriving, i somehow have an idea wat to order lah, just tat not all confirmed yet. Til today, the only thing tat i had confirmed is the door gift... Secret.. no way tat i am revealing til the actual day event.
We'll not be inviting friends or colleagues this time round. Just our families, relatives n my TABLE members n some sec sch good friends.
Cake n buffet, we had decided the caterer, but gotta wait til hubby's side relatives attendance, hope to order by end of this week, or latest by mid of next week.
Not as hardworking as Jaden's time when i started searching for theme n the design of cake i wanted. This time, no particular theme lah... no much energy to do research though i did search for bakers to do the design i wanted...
It's going to b a rather simple celebration for his birthday, n of course hoping to get every1's blessings for him. Will hold e event in the noon, n hope to end by evening, so tat we can all rest after the celebration. Am looking forward to his bday party in 2.5weeks time!
Thanks to the Hari Raya, tats y Monday is a PH.. Phew... Mon is also my dreadful day of my working weeks...
Had a date with my sis to watch 3D movie, Brave... She has a pair of free tickets, but is only for Shaw theatres.. N wats troublesome is, only Shaw Centre can watch the movie... We chose Brave, though i would want to watch Ice Age 4... the timing is just too late...
The time to watch was 2.50pm... I had to settle Javier 1st... He got up at 0745, after which had breakfast with my parents... I made porridge for him, n when he got up ard 12pm from his 1st nap, i drove him to my in laws' house, fed him his lunch n ensure Jaden is ok, i went off to meet my sis..
I dun wish to drive, so took bus 502 there... Dozed off on the bus as usual.. Haha... After collecting the tickets, we went to TCC for a cup of coffee.... The show was nice, n touching...
We have to brave n fate is in our hands. Though i do not really like her red fluffy hair, but the show was indeed nice, good for children to watch. I am home now cooking Javier's dinner b4 i go over to see my boys. While waiting for the porridge, i am blogging! Haha...
Shall ask if i need to buy dinner for Jaden. Will take bus over later. Taking cab back cost us near to $20... Well, i had always hated to drive to orchard to b frank...
To me, family is impt, but me-time is equally necessary. I need some time for myself... Work is already draining me most of the time, so privacy n own time for myself is necessary. Today is a short break time for myself, n thanks to my sis, or else i would have missed a good movie.
Sorry, i was too busy this week, n too tired yesterday to blog about my brother's bday.... Yesterday 15th August, was his 29th birthday.. My sis n I organised a dinner with him, together with my biao ge, biao sao n of course my hubby.
We arranged to meet at Holland V after work.. Had steak n other food.. It was great, though i think e price might b abit steep. We had a great chat, but we had to go at ard 10pm, as we need to rush back to fetch Javier back home... n somemore today i need to be in sch latest by 7am, for the PSLE Oral. Wasn't posted out to be Oral Examiner (OE) this year, was being a time-keeper.
I had a hectic week, n more to come, all e way to Nov. So, if nothing serious n big, please do not ask me out. Weekends, i would prefer to be at home, coz weekdays had been too busy n tiring for me. weekends, i just wish to b at home, with the 3 men.
This year's bday is different, bcoz my bro has promoted to be a fiance of Yinghui. Customary next Nov. We had been v close n can talk anything under e sun. It's great to come out n eat every few days or once in every few weeks.
We did not buy a bday cake for my brother, as his fiancee has already gotten him one. My brother has always been our pride. He is never boastful, though he has been doing well in his current job. But of course, his crap is always popular that we find him crazy at times. Haha... I'm thankful that my parents gave me my elder sis n my younger bro, though we always fought when we were younger, but now we are so close. Being the middle child is miserable, trust me. Tats y i have no intention to go for #3...
I am so proud of my brother,n of course my sis. Sometimes it just crossed my mind that among the 3 of us, i am the most stupid person with no ambitions. They r just so outstanding. My brother still has a long way road down to go, n i am sure he will only strive for the better n move on to achieve his goals, n he sure will do it. I hope God can give him the best tat he deserves, n always b healthy n happy. these 2 things are not to b bought by $$$$... My brother is surrounded by love n happiness, a positive person like him, with life goals n ambitions, i am sure he will be a better person!
When Jaden was young, i went online to buy a swimming tub n neck float for him to 'swim' at home.. now it's passed down to his younger brother to use. Soon, i can pass down to any1 who needs it, whoever gets preg in my family..
Javier tried it once at home, n yest was his virgin try to the pool.. Yest, at late noon ard 4+, i brought him to the Bukit Batok CSC swimming pool, together with my sis.. My sis wanted to bring him, as we had brought Jaden there the prev time, so now is didi's turn.. I drove him to west mall to fetch my sis then we went to the pool together.
It was actually his nap time, but we kept him awake. He was happy to play with the water, n his eyes were so red that it was obvious that he was tired, but he refused to go.. After playing for ard 30min, we had to stop him.. Can't let him play too long for the 1st time...
Went to bathe him quickly n got him changed, then my sis n I rotated turns to change... Made him a bottle of milk n let him drink while i go change... Who koes, when we were on e car, b4 we left the gantry of CSC, Javier fell asleep... Haha.. he was just too tired..
Initially wanted to go west mall eat, but my sis said y not go further, let him sleep on her lap n rest longer, so we went to Jcube... I carried him n we went to eat... He rested on my lap for quite some time n before we could finish our dessert, he woke up.. But still v tired as he sleeps better w/o noise..
It was a good experience for him to swim real this time. The weather was rather cool, so we let him wear his thermal swimwear, passed down from Jaden too. Next time when weather is better, will let him wear his float suit.. Haha... Oso bought a float suit for Jaden, will let him try on soon.
Luckily this week is long weekend, or else i think i am falling sick anytime soon... phew... Tues morn reach school at 0830, coz we brought the P2s to watch a chinese musical at SOTA threatre, located just beside Plaza Singapura...
It was nice! I had never watched a musical before, so it was my virgin trip... quite a touching one i can say... It's for the p1p2 kids, but the school chose the P2s to go... We reached the sch at 1230, quickly munch our lunch n went for lessons as usual... so tired n sleepy...
Wednesday was the lower Ps sports fest, gotta b in school by 0700, but i was late, reached around 0715... couldnt adjust to work in such an early morn.. wake up early to handle kids n to work is a totally mentality... It ended ard 1030, but we can only leave the sch at 11..
When 1100 was up, i quickly drove to Jaden's school.. hubby's long shift this week.. MIL brought Jav along to the school... So after settling Jaden in school as his timing has started at 1130, we went to the nearby kopitiam to eat bfast then drove MIL n Jav back 1st, n i drove back to school again to wait for Jaden.. I nearly dozed off again, really.. Eyelids just dun listen...
My Weds are v packed in my timetable n i always hated Weds.. well, now we have 4 days of break, it's really fantastic... This month i will b real busy.. the P2s are having their drama fest on the 24th.. I'm in charge of the speech n drama schedule, n for this big event, i'll b handling the AV stuff as usual.. Very stressful... Hope all goes well.. Work for 1 whole week for next week, n have a long weekend again for the Hari Raya, then rehearsals for the classes n 24th the real performances comes..
Busy days are coming to an end.. it's August already.. Endure!
It was hubby's 32nd birthday yesterday, n i had to work as usual...
There was a heavy downpour yesterday evening... Hubby needed to go to a tui-na master yesterday evening at 7pm... So, after work, i went to HSBC n UOB to settle my bank stuff, then i drove to JE tat shifu place n wait for him.. by the time he finished his session, it was near to 8.30pm.
Hubby's 1st attempt to see a tui-na shifu for his foot. master said his spine is not v gd, n health wise not in top form too... hubby had a hard time there yesterday as he said it was very painful.. But, at least something is done to help him abit. Mon need to go SGH for followup...
I bought a cake. We went for dinner at Jack's Place 1st... After settling our dinner accompanied by heavy rain, we quickly went back to in laws' house coz it was v late already. Had a simple cake cutting session as a gesture, we went back home.
I felt extremely tired these few days. Haiz, this is work life. Hubby's health is not as good as he thought it to be, so i think he need to watch his diet... I told him, he has to live longer than I am... opppps. Haha...
We r contented to have 2 boys with us every birthday from now on, n shall always be happy... Happy birthday my dear..
Today is Wanqiu's last day in PHPPS... felt kind of sad bcoz i am just so busy that i did not get to see her n talk to her personally. Not even having the chance to hug her n chat.. what a day!
Wanqiu came into our sch in 2007, having the same CCA as i do, AV club... started to share with her wat i know in AV, and soon after a few years, she was promoted to SH, officially my superior.
We had been close friends, sort of clicking well v fast. She is 1 year younger than me... But we can click well n her relations with other colleagues is also v gd...
We had a farewell lunch for her last Sat, with other CL department colleagues. I can see that she was trying hard to control her tears. It's sad to leave a working environment, esp when colleagues are so close. She has been with her for 5 years... She is leaving for another career in NUS. I wish her all the best.
Sometimes seeing 1 by 1 leaving, it saddens me, n demoralises me in some ways.. Really. All good colleagues, whom are also good teachers are leaving 1 by 1. Is this wat the higher management wants? I do think at times, ya mayb 1 day is my turn, FINALLY. I think the management needs to think about it, why the staff dun stay long?
Well, every job is not easy. Stress sure have.. But is how we handle... Sometimes u just have to think, balance, we are all trying. But, after all, it is just not balanced. I dun wana say so much saddening words that will make Wanqiu cry, so i koe she will. Haha.. All i wana tell you is, u must strive better results out there ok, though u had been doing very well in PHPPS. New job new expectations, new goals, new angle of looking at things. Though u are not physically fighting together at work from tomorrow onwards, but we all do treasure n recognise what u had contributed n done. Nothing is going to change of fade our friendship, right?
Do your best, n do keep in contact ok? Wishing you smooth career ahead!
