A Double Whammy

I was hit with an asthma attack yet again on Wednesday night. I saw a doctor and he prescribed me antibiotics and an extra ventolin inhaler. I also bought 48 bucks worth of Singular pills to help me breathe better when I sleep at night.

I was hit again with a bad news in the afternoon on Thursday. I won't wanna share it here...

A double whammy hit had me thinking why life is so miserable with setbacks and attacks from all sorts of things.

I am pretty down physically and mentally and I don't know how long I can survive this battle...

I am crying out....can someONE hear me?

Watch this!

Watch Fox Newscaster Megan Kelly and Obama's spokeperson Bill Burton on this coverage of Fox News. Megan Kelly made headlines for slamming Bill Burton with her agressive mannerism when she interviewed Bill Burton.






So what do you think?

Disappeared and Back Again...

I have a lot to write but I have too little time. It's a sad thing because my readers kept visiting a not-updated blog...yeah I know I have to do something about it. I am pretty busy with work and my studies. This semester I am taking up TWO heavy modules (The art of creativity in English & Romantic Writings) and both are worth 10 cu each. My upcoming assignment is due on 9 Feb and I have not finished reading Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. How am I going to start writing my essay?

I had an asthma attack on Saturday. It all came suddenly after dinner at my mum's. I could hardly breathe and I was coughing badly. I hated myself for my forgetfulness as I didn't bring out my ventolin inhaler. Conz said it's life threatening which I do believe so. I have to be extra-careful not to forget my inhaler the next time I get out of the house.

Dear readers, I know you're waiting to see pictures of how I celebrated CNY. I will come back and post pictures when I find TIME. Sorry to keep you guys waiting. :)

What's Up With Chrissy?

Some of you may be wondering where the heck I am and how I am doing right now in my new workplace...Yeah...all is well and I kinda survived the very first week at Unity. It seemed like a long week for me (5 long days) cos I had to attend character education training, go for induction workshops, be around to help out at CCA orientation and be present at Friday evening's Parent-teacher talk session. Tired.

I have met most of the students in my music classes (sec 1s, 3T and 4T) and my EL class sec 3. It wouldn't be professional of me having to speak of my students and having to compare students of both Unity and Bt Batok, so I will not mention anything here. They are generally well-behaved.

I have many pictures waiting to be uploaded here but I have simply no time. I will certainly be back for more updates. :) So stay tuned...

Jolly Christmas!

The year 2008 is coming to an end and this Christmas season is however a quiet one mainly because of the economic situation. Indeed, there are certain things which I do not wish to look back to and hoping it will not come to me again (some of you will know what I am talking about) Goodbye to 2008 and hello to new 2009!

The big Christmas Tree at Taka

Because we refused to buy toys for Nicole, she posed with her daddy in a glum look.

She is all happy again posing on a huge piece of rock outside Swensons - a 360 degree mood swing! Help!

Taken in a hotel - like mummy like daughter!

A Musical Affair

Snow White & Seven Dwarfs
The Musical 16 December 2008
@ National Library



Snow White & Seven Dwarfs, a pantomime which starred Sebastian Tan as the Queen, Elena Wong as Snow White, Dwayne Tan as the prince charming. Elena's voice was the one voice I loved the most. She never failed to captivate the audiences' attention. Along with me were Dearie, Conz, Edison & Gilbert. After the musical, we managed to take some pictures of the cast. (photos courtesy of Conz)

We were all hungry and decided to go to 126 Sims Ave for Dim Sum (Wan Dou Sek)

Another Crazy Christmas
@ Suntec Convention - Auditorium
17 December 2008

Gilbert, Conz, Hossan, myself & Eileen


This is the second time I watched a crazy Christmas concert staged by Dream Academy. I liked Hossan Leong's Retro act, the 3 Japanese girls and Sebastian Tan's part. I laughed till I teared! They were really funny! Thanks to Guat Hoon again who got these complimentary tickets for 7 of us.
