CNY 2007

A favourite picture of myself and Nicole

Right, I know this is a bit late for an update. But anyway, I will still tell you how I spend my CNY. How did you spend your CNY? I didn't really enjoy mine because my family was down with stomach flu. Nicole caught it on Vday...she vomited and had diarrheoal. The following day, I caught the flu from her, felt nauseous, vomited and had diarrheoal too. I felt so sickly in the morning in school, that I had to call dearie to make a trip to school to fetch me back. Saw the doctor, confirmed it was stomach flu, went back home, vomited all out in the toilet (the feeling was horrendous I must say), showered and took medicine, then slept for the whole entire day. I had no appetite because I felt nauseous each time I smelled food. Mum caught the virus the next day (friday). I went back to school to watch Drastic Turnover's performance and was relieved and proud of them for doing a great job although it was a last minute thing. Way to go DT! After bringing back some markings to mark over the weekends and also to do some unfinished business (common test paper), I left the school, and picked up my mum from the polyclinic. She was puking non-stop into a drain before she got on into my car. I was holding my breath just in case I feel nauseous again. Thank God nothing happened. My bro daniel complained that he too vomited. I guess by this time, almost all of us who were in close contact with nicole caught the virus. Both my B-in law and dearie caught the virus during the CNY! Ok, enough said, guess I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking now and tell you how I spent my CNY.

First day of the lunar new year...nicole all ready to go bai nian!

Happy Valentine's Day

I wanna keep it short here because I need to catch up on my sleep, here's how I spent my evening...

1. After picking up dearie at Vivo City (he was there to buy my v-day gift), we drove to a few places to find a place to have dinner.

2. We stopped by at YESS centre hoping that the korean BBQ Restaurant will not be crowded. But we were wronged...they don't entertain anymore walk-in customers.

3. Next stop, we tried Jack's place at clementi Entertainment centre, but was shocked to see some 30 over people standing outside Jack's place.

4. We drove to Sakura International Buffet (Clementi Woods)...was also turned down because they don't entertain anymore walk-in customers.

5. We turned back to pasir panjang and stopover at Pasta Fresca for dinner. We were surprised that there were some empty tables although the whole restaurant seemed to be packed with couples. Here's what we ordered...(my apologies for the lousy resolution, these photos are taken with my hp)


6. We ordered Croquette, seafood soup, 2 sets of Beef Tenderloin cooked medium well.
7. After dinner, we set off to watch GhostRider at Cineleisure. Not a fantastic movie, I was expecting more from it.

Five things you didn't know about Me

Five things you didn't know about Me

1. Old Clothes

My wardrobe is filled with plenty of clothes and at least 2/3 of them, either the size doesn't fit or they are out-of-style. I am still trying to find TIME to clear the loads of ill-fitting & out-of-style clothes outta this small and confined space I am sharing with my hubby. These clothes will most probably end up with the salvation army.

2. Bags

Yes bags, I have plenty of them and as a matter of fact, I have simply lost count of them. I just bought two bags from Mango last month. This month I bought another two from perlini. I am an ultimate bag fanatic. My hubby is complaining that my bags are piling up in his study room.

3. Afraid of creepy crawlies

Ask anyone who knows me well enough, I will definitely scream and run as fast as I could when I happen to see one! I have had a bad encounter with creepy crawlies when I was younger. Freaks me out completely!

4. My love for fast cars

If I have a chance, I wanna watch Formula 1 live or drive a F1 car on the racing tracks. My favourite F1 driver would be Michael Schumacher. I love red Ferrari even though I think it is quite impossible owning one in future. I used to like toyota celica but now I am more into the 1.8 ltr honda civic (hybrid), honda integra and mazda RX5.

5. Dry feet

I have dry feet. If you take a closer look at the soles of my feet, you would be able to see how dry it is. I am like a snake changing its skin. Sometimes, I would experience cracked heels, sometimes bleeding, and it could be quite painful to walk on.

Do exactly this same thing on your blog if you're tagged by me!!

Ok...I gotta tag 5 others...so here they are...

Rashes hit

Yep! I am staying away from seafood for the time being...I must have eaten too much of it lately. An accumulation of seafood has worsen my skin condition, and I got hit by rashes. Didn't manage to get a good night rest on monday night because I was itching all over, especially my legs. (sigh, I have alot of unsightly marks left behind now). I woke up late the next day, called back to school to say I won't be turning up and went to see a doctor. She gave me medicine to stop the itch. I felt better after the medicine. Thank God!

I attended the first lesson (effective communication) on Sat. While the pretty lecturer was explaining the notes in the textbook, I was there jotting down the important points on a notepad. It somehow feels a little weird as it has been a long time since I've attended a formal lecture. I am looking forward to the lecture on Friday and the following Monday. (Humanities & Contract Law)

I have been faithfully reading up notes on the online portal (blackboard) and marking students' homework. My colleague Jun even mentioned that she has never seen me seriously getting work done unless the deadline is nearing. God has indeed given me strength and wisdom in time management and because of this, I have the urgency to keep doing the things I am supposed to do. You are simply an awesome God!

I am also happy to see the students in my school having an interest in Gusto. ( Gusto is a music programme that features the musical talents of the students in my school...I talent-spot these people, I hold auditions and pick the better singers & musicians). The next lunchtime concert happening on 16 feb is coming soon. Drastic Turnover (pop/rock band) which has been under my tutelage since June 2006, is looking out for a lead singer. Maria and Norman (both our singers) want to concentrate on their studies, which led me to no choice but to audition singers. It's not easy to find a singer who is comfortable singing in a live band. He/she basically needs the quality and the x-factor. The next audition is happening next week...hopefully, I am able to talent-spot one.

Nicole is down with cough and flu again. Although I was on MC on Tues, I did not get even rest because Nic is also sick. She vomited whatever she consumed and I have to do the cleaning up.
God, heal her right now...regain her appetite so that she doesn't throw up again.

I am too lazy to put up pics for now. Till then...
