My dad....

Has been on leave this week and everytimr I go home early, he will nag at me for working so few hours and continually asked me to back to work full load next year.. I think he can't accept that I am enjoying myself at this age when he was slogging when he was at my age.

I am going back full load next year. This year's pay is pretty pathetic. My savings are decreasing by the day. But I am happy and thankful. Money and achievements are not as important as relationships. When we meet God face to face, he won't ask us how many degrees we have, how many awards we have gotten, how much money we have made. He will ask us what is the quality of our relationships- with Him, And with one another.

It has been a good year for me :)

7 more teaching days...

and I do not have to mark anymore for the rest of the year. I can't wait. The kids will be going for learning journeys to the changi chapel etc. I told them I will teach them how to play the guitar, which means I have to listen to mainstream music. Maybe I shall teach them how to do foot reflexology too. :) I remembered I taught my previous batch of p6s how to fill up the immigration departure and arrival card, and my friends were telling me it's not wise to encourage them to run away from home! So silly! :)

One minute

makes the difference between having 50 cents or a dollar for erp
makes the difference between having free parking or not
makes the difference between having to pay for the 2nd erp or not

I made that one minute. But what a rush it was!

Black pepper crabs

Are yummy but the shell cut my left index finger which made it impossible for me to practise and play for tomorrow. It is sad because I always look forward to playing with the worship team monthly. I guess I got to wait till next month. 2 new gals are visiting FCC tomorrow. One is a drummer for her church. How kewl is that :)

My awesome collection of alcohol..

is getting a bit overwhelming for me. While I am thankful I do not have to worry about not having money to buy the alcohol like I would 10 years ago, I do think I might have gone overboard asking friends to buy alcohol for me whenever they go overseas. I am thankful they could. But I think I shall slow down from today onwards. Just collected a Bling Bling and hoegarden from a friend just now. I have another 2 bottles from 2 CG mates. My ex-bf will also be helping me to get another 2 bottles when he comes back from Australia end Oct.

Why do I want so many bottles? I am intrigued by the different designs of the bottles. The desire to collect bottles started with the different series that Absolut Vodka produced. I thought they were too pretty to ignore. Then when I had about 2 bottles of each flavour, I decided to collect other bottles, both unique and common; unique so I can keep, common so I can mix drinks for friends in future when I get my own place.

Talking about getting my own place, I have been praying for a place of my own where I can open up to people to chill, chat and hang out at. I am glad the SH will be able to get her place in about a month and that she had mentioned that she would love to open up her place to people. It's nice. I like that. :)

Time to get out of the towel!

Actually...

I am still in my towel. I don't know why I like being in my towel. The SH says I am a nudist. So farney. Well, I prefer to wear as little as possible if possible.. I feel free when I get to do that. :) Strange me.

I was on the verge of booking a trip to HK to visit my old friend and experience winter again! THe last time I was in HK was 10 years ago! Also in December. IT was awesome! My ex and I ate 8 times a day. There was food everywhere.. and the weather was fabulous. My favourite temperature: 18 Degrees Celsius.

I saw tickets at Tiger Airways @ $359. But my colleagues didn't think that was cheap. And I hadn't got a reply from my friend in HK if she was coming back to Singapore during that period of time. Well, she replied a few hours later to say she will be in HK during that period of time. Hmmm... I might drop by. And I want to visit BMCF!!!!

SH's gone for 4 days

Yesh. She went to KL to attend a course. I wanted to travel up with her but she was going to catch up with a friend/potential business partner in the evenings. Next time then. The course runs for 3 weekends.

Got to spend a bit of time before she hopped on the coach at Novena Sq. Picked her from her place, drove to Novena, collected her tickets had Kenny Rogers (the muffins!!), changed currency and bye bye!

Gonna use this weekend well! :)
