of uneven roads n bad traffic

3d2n mini getaway with bf to KL, away from work, all the stress and uncertainties in reality. Probably my last holiday trip before sch starts next month. Oh man!

Anw took grassland bus which was quite comfy. Looked ard n realised tat we were the only young ppl onboard. =X The rest were mostly old couples gg for the trip or just msian who were on their way back home. Traffic was relatively good, not much jam :)

The driver played movie on the tiny tv right in front of the bus. Was so tiny, we took to slping n listening to ipod instead.

6 hours later we finally reached kl. The traffic in msia was really bad. Lots of jam, untidy rows of cars n reackless driving. =S

Spent most of the time at the shopping malls. Just within walking distance from our hotel, there's like 5 malls alr. =O If you think walking the whole stretch of malls from orchard to sommerset or vice versa, try just one mall in kl. Took us practically the whole day!

Caught twilight there n it was realtively CHEAPER! N one medium popcorn plus drink plus 6 nuggets cost only like 6 bucks.

I think i'll feel so much richer if i stay in msia. But i'll probably die from the traffic! Zebra crossings or pedestrian crossings are just ornaments. No drivers put them to heart, seriously. N the thing i hate most is jaywalking in such dangerous situations. Tsk.

Nothing much actually but it's amazing how holiday just made u more excited abt each day n to see life in a different way :))

i wanna board a plane on my nxt holiday!

Too lazy to upload so many pic at once so shall take a shortcut. haha.

It's a lazy sunday. Practically stayed at home the whole day unless u think gg out for tuition counts. J came over in the morning to pick up stuff from C and then walked over to pick up books from me. Chit chat awhile and den hurray! i got a lift to tuition cos he drove today and my tuition kid stays nearby. I got a nice fren :)

Feels weird today cos i haven seen my tuition kids for like 2 weeks. N i wont see them next wk either. PSLE results coming out next wk n hopefully all's best for him. Apparently he told his mum that he wants me to coach him with math n sci in addition to eng n chi. Hahaha! I initially thght he finds my lsns boring. But that wld mean 4hrs of lsns on sundays... GOSH! My mummy says that i'll turn into a skeleton soon with work from mon-to-fri 830-6pm plus tuition on sat n sun mornings n when sch starts 7-10pm lsns. @.@

Oh ya. After bout 2 weeks at work, my supervisor actually offered me a perm position in the company. But judging from my schedule, i'll really reduce to bags of bones at e end of it. Plus i hate e responsibilities that comes with being a perm. Temps come and go which suits me pretty fine. Hate the feeling of being restrained and bonded. So well...

Anw had tuition ytd with my p1 kid n he was wearing specs! So cute! He gave this bashful smile when i laughed at him. Haha! N when there's a speck of dust on e lens he insisted that they were germs. N he was super liberal when he needed to settle some big business. He look at me with a straight face n told me he needed to go pass motion. Hahaha. Pass motion sounded funny, kind of strange even, cos we're much used to hearing e word shit. =x

The world is super small i swear. Left for tuition n met my junior at the void deck. Guess what he was doing with another guy. SMOKING! In uniform btw. N he had the cheek to say hi to me n talk to me! This is atrocious! I mean of cos i do understand that smoking is a habit n it's not likely that if i tell him not to do it he wont, but i cant possibly talk to him like nth's wrong right. That's beyond me. So he got a earful from me, too bad.

Met bf in the late afternoon n went to vivo since he was in the vicinity. But too bad i wasnt n i was nua-ing so happily at home when he was done. So he reached like an hr before me :p Love the stretch of shops with fox, f21, aldo, zara, gap... u get where im referring to. N i found 2 new places where i can get shoes! gapkids n zarakids! But i hate winter/fall collections. Got to wait till spring's here.

Caught happyfeet2 @gv max. The threatre's huge n really spacious! Haven been there to catch movies for like AGES. happyfeet2 is like the perfect movie for kids. Loads of them in e theatre. happyfeet2 is mainly abt the father and son relationship n eric is SO CUTE, e voice that is. I find it a little flat, lots of singing, dancing, tapping of feet like always.

anw i still cant figure out wat to get for bf's bday. SOS!

I can totally understand y some ppl refuse to watch local productions.

'The Oath' on chn 8 started out pretty well, but the problem with local dramas is that they tend to have ridiculous storylines. Seriously, how can a passionate doctor get blinded by greed and fame so easily n become so despicable overnight?

I bet they'll have silly endings as well.

Tsk..

Went dental today n i've got red brackets for xmas! =)

Dentist was super duper efficient today. I think the whole thing from registering to tightening, to making new appt took less than 15min! =0

Was waiting to get my next appt date set when i heard someone calling me. Turned ard n saw my ex students. Apparently we have the same dentist. The world's so small.

To prove that point, i met another student while having lunch at nex with gk in the afternoon. Usu i wld brush aside surveyors but bcos he's my students so i've got no choice. =/ The weird thing is i've only been to their class to relief a couple of lessons, but they still rmb me. Goes to show how often their tchers werent ard. =x

But it's rather heartwarming to know that they still bother to say hi and acknowledge your presence bos they cld have jus walk right past u like any stranger on the streets.

:)

Waiting for my antm....

Holiday plans all set :)

Another babysitting day.

My sis had to go to office to finish up her freelance work so i had to take care of fatty again. Good thing she's really chirpy and cooperative today.

Watched some telly, played a little den fed her some yummy grandma-made sweet potato porridge. N she LOVES it! So scared that i might over feed her.

Den played somemore. Changed her smelly diapers.

Now she's down with grandpa for her favourite daily stroll.

So i finally have time to eat my lunch.

It's funny how i dun feel hungry at all actually.

mummy training

It's a stay-at-home-be-my-mummy tuesday. Sis had to go for press check @damn-far caldecott to link her high res pictures. Whatever that means with all the jargons that i dun quite get. To cut the story short, it means that i got to babysit fatty for half a day.

Sis left at 2pm when she/we finally coax fatty to bed in her cute sarong, the thingy that bounces. But with all the annoying drilling downstairs, n fatty being a light sleeper, had to have her stay in my sight round e clock jus in case she stirs.

Sis wld usu be dying to get away from her but today she complains that she's having anxiety from separating with fatty. Nonsense much. Ha.

Fatty was wailing so loudly in her slp, i had to wake her up. Must be some really bad monsters in her nightmare. Poor girl...

Watched some silly show on okto while i fed her bread. Fatty loves to eat nonsense

Daddy came home at 3-ish n fatty wailed so loudly, refusing to let my dad go put down his bag before picking her up. She must be real bored of me. Hurhur.

Daddy went down to get some errands done n den e worst thing on earth happened. Smelled something stinko, check her diapers. Guess what i saw- GOLD. GOLD POO! Damn it. Second time i cleaned her poo ok. Ultra smelly i almost fainted. =S

Im the world's nicest ah yi.

Daddy got back n brought her down for her daily stroll.

So now it's ME-time before fatty's back. Got to heat up her milk, clean her up later, feed her milk, n den coax her to bed.

Gosh! Being childless isnt that bad i guess.

She's adorable though.

monday no-blues

Monday today but it feels like tuesday since i didnt see bf on sun. Gloomy day with the heavy downpour in the early afternoon. Feels duper good to be rotting at home on a Monday.

Feeling lazy but with LOTS of mental strength and self persuasion, went to ndc to get my dangling and poking wire problem solved before fri's trip. So crowded surprisingly and waited for like an hr.

Met up with gk, ran some errands n den had dinner together @pastamania. Pasta was slightly below standard, must be bcos of the huge crowd the chef just anyhow. Cheesy crumble too dry, aglio olio too oily n spicy. =/ But the garlic bread is yums, esp after u make them heat up for u. =)
