happy mothers' day
to all official n unofficial[meaning u r naggy n have motherly instincts but u arent a mother hah] mothers out there: happy mothers' day!
mum came to wake me up at 730 tiz morning. slept at 3am last night coz i was chatting online. Ahhh, such a nice weather to sleep in, it was raining leh! ah well, nvm. Must go church mah. It was raining so heavily tt even though we were waiting for a cab n had umbrellas, the strong wind blew the rain n drenched us. I was wearing tee shirt n shorts n sandals but still, i was kinda soaking wet.
i had thought i wont need to experience e yih freeze-ur-ass-off feeling again, at least not so fast. But, yup, since i was slightly drenched n e air cons in church were in gd working condition, it was darn cold!! The same feeling all over again..brrr. N i dun have e habit of bringing my windbreaker/sweater out on sundays. My goosebumps were all out, so so cold. sat on my palms to keep warm but still, didnt really help. I realised tt recently i'm not as resistant to cold as i used to be. In e past, i'd be e one of e last few who'd put on my windbreaker in e exam hall in my sec sch days, when ther were really blasting air cons in e hall. These days, i hardly switch on e air con in my room. Take for instance ytd nite, it was kinda humid n e whole family switched on e air cons n locked themselves in their own rooms, while as always, my door is open. I'm comfy with e fan switched on. But its kinda weird, i only switch on e air con when its about to rain..weird cindy. Yah anyway e cold kept me really awake during e entire Mass.
Now u muz b asking me wad did i plan for my mum for Mothers' Day. Nothing, yup, nothing. It's juz tt my family doesnt have e habit/culture of giving things to each other on birthdays, or mothers' day, or fathers' day. We dont celebrate special days for one another. It's juz another typical day. Yah my family is really conservative. Conservative isnt exactly e appropriate word, but maybe its juz tt we arent expressive when it comes to our love n concern for one another. Like hello, when its time to say 'peace be with u' in church, we actually shake hands!! whilst other families wld b seen hugging n sometimes pecking each other on the cheeks as a form of love. I guess ours is a more implicit way of displaying our concern we have for one another.
I think being a mum is such a high calling, another kinda of vocation altogether. Mummy, i love u. Haha though i'd probably not say it to her face-to-face n she'd probably not see it here anyway.
Ytd i went to sch, on a saturday[dammit!] n its exactly 1 week aft e exams, so wad e hell was i doing in sch!? I had to go back for an interview for e Project Rakchuay which was held at e yih student lounge. printed out e interview form last minute at e yih cblc, made a trip to e yih study room n sat at my fav seat to fill in e form. Yah, fav seat is tt one, e exposed table[when u walk down e stairs] n den its e seat tt's e extreme right. Well, if u dunnoe, u dunnoe. If u noe, den well n gd. saw yunshan's tissue box left on e table, hah. It's probably another 6 more mths b4 we invade e place n apply for PR again. *so NOT looking forward actually haha* =] Anyway, yah e interview, ok lor, i was juz kinda relaxed n answered e qn as best as i could. No sweat man. Came home, checked mail coz they said results wld be out by tonight, as to whether i'm selected or not. Seems like i wasnt selected. angeline also signed up for it n i saw her email add listed in e intended recipient so like me, we werent selected. N den somehow i came home n received a call diz morning at 10am n they said due to some confusion of some sort, i'm actually selected to go. Woah, ok! N i'd be taking e 2nd flight unlike e rest who'd be gg on e 10th. I'd be gg on e 11th n coming back on e 20th of July, so bye folks. I hope its a gd opportunity for self-discovery n to stretch out a helping hand to e pple in Thailand. Somehow when they asked me if i knew how to speak Thai during e interview, i said 'No' and i started giggling to myself in my head coz i remembered how i pretended to speak Thai to denise n wld end wif a snort at e end of e sentence. hahaha
Today i had to teach tuition. 2 hrs wif my boyboy n gerger, den stand in for weili n help teach her kid for another 2 hrs consectively. So its about 4 straight hrs, excluding e 1/2 hr transition time to get frm 1 place to another. Damn tiring, i mean, my boyboy, he's juz not helping himself. U noe e saying, 'u can lead a horse to e water, but u cant force it to drink' Yah, i've taken tt 99 steps to lead him to e water, but he has gotta take tt 1 step to go drink e water wad! So i got so mad at him coz he juz saved a pile of hw[eng comprehension corrections n sci-ence qn] to ask me. I juz scolded him n said, 'Look, i'm only gonna help u to understand e qn, u go find e answer urself.' It was supposed to b 2hrs dedicated to helping him in english coz he's got SA1 Eng paper tmr, but in e end since he was un-cooperative, he used up 1hr 40min trying to complete his hw, leaving him 20 min to do eng.N tt gerger, i juz hope she can improve abit coz i havent taught her long enough to lay a strong foundation for her.
Helped teach weili's P6 kid aft tt. Stand in for her for diz week coz sim pple having exams, n pri sch kids cannot stop tuition now coz its e crucial pd n they've got their Semestral Assesment(SA) exams. Woah, i dun remember english being so difficult. I seemed to breeze past it last time leh, or maybe it juz wasnt so tough in 1997 when i was P6. Now, i have to refer to e answer for comprehension cloze to find out e suitable word to fill in.
Was so hungry aft tt. My last meal was at 130 and it was a bowl of honeystars cereals for lunch. Felt a bit cold[fa1 leng3] due to hunger. Yup, goes to show, if ever e day comes when i feel faint when running, its probably coz there's not enough food in my stomach. hahaha. I need food! Decided to buy a slice of cake frm coffee bean for mummy coz like, juz wanted to do smth sweet for her. haha
anyway here's a pic of us, behind us is e 800m race route. taken on 05/05/05
