a nice weekend

it's hard to believe it's monday again when I had a good time over the weekend.
why do happy times always have to end so soon?


(a) submitted my claim on Friday ... just thinking of money being credited later makes me happy.


(b) started sewing toys for friends' baby full moon on Friday night ... thought of it for a week but everything also last minute (just so me). The thought of little babies playing with the toy I made really cheer me up. (that's why I don't mind staying up all night just to complete a small little toy)


(c) have a great day (well, tiring day actually) with the kids, making empty promises like bringing them to the playground later if they sleep now. 


(d) have a great time catching up with a bunch of buddies at a friend's baby full moon party, everyone seem to be doing well and enjoying their life now..


(d) getting excited that school holidays started .. I'm not a student neither a teacher but i like the idea of school holidays..


(e) ah dear was very kind to bring me to book fair (again) despite my home still in a mess. haha..one of the condition is that I clean up my mess at home before bringing back more mess.


(f) I stumbled upon a singapore series 'pillow talk' which i found can give some pointers to us in real life ... it depicts the life of lovers, couples before & after marriage and ups and downs of life at each stages till death do us apart. 


(g) Found a good site for me & the kids to learn chinese here. Having a refresher course on Grimms fairy tales / Anderson fairy tales/ chinese mythology / Geek mythology / Arabian night stories & Aesop fables... they read the story while we see the book..nice.


(h) Glad that I had underwent full medical checkup last week after having 'thought' about it for a few months.. it's good to know I'm treating myself well. (saying this because I think I have a tendency of not treating myself good enough...hehe)

亲爱的妈妈

Mother's Day never failed to bring me a bag full of mixed feelings.
it also never failed to bring me a bag full of memories with my mother (for that's all I have /left now).
I heard & found a song which can quite sum up what I want to say to you, mummy. 
I wonder whether you receive it..


Happy mother's day to all mothers! =) 




ps. till next post, see how the interviewers hinted me that i may have it all messed up, led me to believe so and had me asking my little kiddies whether what I'm doing is right or wrong?...

on why i couldn't resist grocery shopping







 so colourful, so many varieties, so 'never a dull moment',
so many packaging design, so competitive ... that in the end we found there's a hole in our pocket ^^!

radio radio

I remember during my schooling years, I came up with all kind of 'can-thin-of-excuses' for my parents to get me a radio / cassette player. Among the reason I gave is listening to music will help to improve memory & performance. Still I ended up having to save my own money to get my own radio.


and so I got my radio, my parents brought me to the electrical shop and I selected the one that was within my budget. 


However, once the radio is on my study desk, i started listening more intently to the radio instead of studying.
I started picking up latest chinese songs, got very updated with the chinese music industry gossip, can memorise all the radio station frequencies, knew almost any DJ that was on night shift, can even memorise and recite the radio program at night from monday to sunday upside down.


the best part, I even started buying blank empty cassettes ever ready to record compilations of my favourite songs. 


thinking back, I really missed those times when I can sit down in the middle of the night...listening to the radio while the night goes by (although i'm supposed to be studying).


I'm thankful to that loyal little radio of mine. My sister is still using it.
One thing I didn't regret doing was listening to the radio every night without fail ... for that was i think how I got to pick up my native language.


so once again, radio radio kam xia lu!
