oh yes...the ultimate day will arrive real soon n suddenly u have cold feet, tension headaches, zits popping up where they r NOT supposed to pop up..all sorts of stuffs that u need to see so that it it going to be a real perfect day..funny how some people put in soo much effort in a wedding that lasts for only a day ot two n less effort in a marriage that lasts for a lifetime....perhaps. Most of the stuffs r done coz we dont believe in doing last minute...u know glitches can happen anytime so i dare say that my room is about 80% ready..ok...not bad huh...d wedding presents r ready too...only my sis is not ready...that's d prob for being single for long...how to get used to an entirely different person..hhmmm..its really not easy huh coz each comes from different upbringing so different school of thoughts. Arrgghh..i dont wish to think about this coz when my time arrives one day....i might juz stumble upon problems..who knows??

Finally...d moment we have been waiting for..is so OVER! My whole Saturday was spent on the preparations of the school musical at Raffles JC n i was in school at seven plus in d morning. At 9, we left school on d bus n we headed RJC with d dancers n rest of d casts. It was a day of endless job to do.....putting on makeup, touching up faces, adjusting of costumes, serving of food, lining up d dancers, going up n down d stairs....i actually dozed off on d couch there despite the noise made by other CCA groups. Then at 7 p.m, i was back in school n juz couldnt wait to hit my bed. Drove home n my sis was bugging me with something she was not satisfied...so..i hate to strain open my eyes n helped her out. Once everything was cleared, i was in dreamland in no time.Oh what a busy n tiring Saturday...n d next weekend will be another busy one for me too..my sister's wedding...oh..i juz dont wan to think about it now...coz i know tonnes of work is juz waiting ahead of me...sigh!!

the dancers with me n Mudha ( co-teacher) on the rehearsal day. The blue cloth is tied around the waist. nice or not?? the headscarf is with a flower.

purple power!!it was a great coincidence that this costume was our favourite choice. Now the blue cloth is a sash n d headscarf has changed too...hahahaha!! Take note ahhh...all d dancers r CHINESE n only Primary 2 kids.

bored dancers trying to entertain themselves while waiting for the next show

eating n gossiping over food.

everybody's favourite dancer, Yiting....the cutest n most adorable of the lot!

I guess I called it magical that day coz it got to do with something later that evening. It was another mundane day of meetings after meetings..reviewing workplans and all that jazz. In d afternoon, I managed to kill my boredom by playing Taboo with my gal colleagues and it was sure damn fun to let d time passed by with laughter, humour n clamour at the staff lounge. Finally, it was time to head Lagun Sari at Joo Chiat for our annual staff dinner...hmm...nice place n d food was even nicer!! My parents had been there for a couple of times for wedding reception but it was really d first time for me. Ok..back to food...i regretted for not taking d chicken salad more coz it was really, really delicious...a mix of chopped chillies n slices of mangoes n chicken chucks..wow...n d mushroom cream soup was equally nice..thick n lots of chopped mushrooms. I took fried rice, meat balls, to my disappointment coz they were so tasteless, mushroom with broccoli..hmm...i love it n d green chicken gravy..wish i could take more but my plate was so small n my food was piling up so juz made do with what I had. Simply appetizing!! Felt so good catching up with my colleagues n this will be my last year, after 3 years, in the staff welfare committee so i hope to have a good end.....AND SO..i did....i picked a number for d lucky draw...52..hmm..didnt look or sound lucky to me..ok..let's be positive...d number 5 is my guy's birth day n it's my seat number in d staff room...hmmmm...d place was cold n i had THAT cramp a bit that night, juz enduring it by drinking warm tea. My staff welfare chairman started d ball rolling by announcing d 30th to 2oth lucky numbers n majority of d winners wore black...hmmm..black is a lucky colour that nite i guess. Then we had a break. When d draw resumed, it was my turn to hand d vouchers over to my principal who picked d numbers. Just when d 10th prize , a $100 voucher from Robinsons, was announced, it dawned to me that it was my 52!!!!!!!I felt so damn lucky suddenly!! AAWWWW!!Part of my attire was black so i had d luck i guess.52...5 times 2 that gives me 10.hahahahah!!!that made my night. TEN U (thank you)!!!!

d gals in d house!

d place we chilled n had good food

aawwww...this is heaven!

Yeah, i was cooped up at home coz tonnes of stuffs needed to be done in my room. My cousins came over to see d room n after much deliberation, we had decided not to put d backdrop but instead pasted more stickers on d wall...duh...sounds like more work for me. The curtains were hung n also that string stuff that people put up nowadays on d window ...in which to my frustrations, i had spent 2 hours trying to loosen up a ball of that string n no matter how i pulled, d ball juz gotten more complicated. In d end, i cut some of d strings n reattached d beads..n my prob was solved..hmm...thinking flexibly...habit of mind that ive learnt in school <*grin*> That reminds me..i was doing my reflection report when my guy came online n prompted me. He juz came back from work n i knew he muz be damn tired coz he didnt stay long to chat wif me. Wish I could juz massage him n made him feel better for working so hard all day. So much for missing him, i have made a new scrap page of our pics..i wish i had more new photos of him so i juz make do with what i have in my collection. I hope everything is fine with him coz i hardly hear him lately..oh well..think positive n less to worry n be happy more. Absence really makes my heart grows fonder. So....first week of school holiday..still got stuffs to be done in school..meetings after meetings n also d musical...not really a music to my ears but we juz have to face d music....right now i feel like hugging my guy n feel his warm body but what ive missed most was when he put on for me make-up...he was focussing real haaard!!!hahahahahh!!

I get turned on by boredom!!

My day is ending soon..oh..wat a Saturday. I could feel d pain at my back coz i shifted d cupboards around in my room all by myself last nite..guess..trying tio be a heroine. Anyways, i went for my dental appointment in d morning at my sis's dental clinic n felt sooo goood wif a clean set of teeth when i was done. Remember to floss properly...nevermind if there is any bleeding coz that's a sign of a healthy set of teeth to come..ok doc...i will floss to bleed!!! Then i juz hung out for awhile at Eastpoint n ended up spending hours in Watsons...i cant shop in that kind of place coz it seems to be there r juz soo many good smelling stuffs to buy for yr hair n skin..aarrgghh....juz my weakness...i bought 2 small bathtub that come with toiletries n a cute little bear wearing a shower cap..n of coz..they r lavendar scented ones n PURPLE!! Went back after that n did a bit of spring cleaning of my room n laminated my glass panel. Also....pasted d big poppy flower stickers bought from Ikea on my wall n was happy with d result. Then, my bro came back fro his bursary ceremony n off we went to Tampines Mall...he wanted to buy a memory card...for his brain...muaahhahahahhaha...i bought a bed skirt from BHG n cardigans too.Then bro gave me a treat at Ramen Ten ( noodle shop) n i was happy to get seated beside a row of food that went zooming past me on a conveyor..neat!! We gave d tea buffet a skip coz we felt that it was more economical going ala carte so we had a hearty meal.Back home...more cleaning n shifting n repairing of loose parts...so many stuffs to be done for d wedding that i was sooo busy n it has made my Saturday so short...eating at Ramen Ten reminded me of my guy...he is soo good handling d chopstix n he finished up his food real fast while I was still struggling with d wooden stix. Can i come up with a fusion shushi??? like having a stinky bean (petai) in d sushi n im sure all d makciks (old aunties) will make their way to d restaurant. What say you???Oiisshiii!!

I ordered KFC to much of their delight..well..i call it a friendship party in which they shared each piece of the chicken with their partners...so 16 pieces...enough to go around..but me...i was left with nothing...i guess my kids were all starving that day. It really slipped my mind that d crispy one was actually hot n they were sipping water every now n then...but they simply love eating the chicken...muz b d feeling of eating with a friend that had actually made d meal very appetizing to them.Why KFC??Well...my class had really worked sooo hard..n me too..of coz..out of 30 pupils,I have 16 band 1 for English and 25 Band 1 for Maths...and i have given them a useful tip to do well in Maths...it was K.F.C...well...K for keywords, F for figures(numbers) and C for check calculations n they had applied it so well that d result was astounding!! I am sooo happy...d best prize ever coming from my pupils!! So...KFC anyone??Check your Maths ahhhh!!
