Ok...I hate remembering password or user id(s)...no,no,no...let me rephrase it...I abhor it!

I forgot my user id for DBS ibanking which makes me a total sore loser because now, I have no further use for the electronic device issued to me for easy access online.

I am also too plain lazy to mail my request and mind you, there is no such thing as an online request, I have to mail my request by mail...yes...snail mail.

To top it all up, Dad's smoking habit in the house is driving me up the walls. I hate the smell of his ciggies....it's really awful. I'm not sure what ciggies is he smoking these days but it's awful....awful than beau's. (Ok Faz.....your ciggies may not smell as bad as Dad but on the whole, tobacco smells really,really awful!)

On a lighter note,

I'm just glad that we got what we wanted. Beau has been aiming for a new pair of boots since last year. He was doing loads of contemplation but I resolve all those whimsical thoughts at the flick of my wand * okok...too much of Harry Potter Ezan!

Nono.....I simply told him to get the black pair of Ligera boots instead. He wanted the white/red pair but too bad.....they don't come in his size. He was sulking but after tying on his new pair of black-gold boots, the sulking stops and now... he has something to be happy about. (almost!)
(Plus....we got a good deal for it ok...so stop sulking!)

I was complaining to him too about getting a new pair of shoes for work. Mind you, I have to walk up and down the hill 5 days a week, which is a good 15-20 mins walk and I don't wear heels to work, that will literally kill me!

Crocs are giving me blisters unless I wear socks and I can't possibly wear my running shoes to work because that will cause me some wadrobe malfunction. So yesterday, after getting Beau's boots, I opted for a pair of "presto-kinds" comfortable walking shoes which was light-green in colour from Nike...Oooooooo....green!

We had a good deal for it too because other shops were selling it at 95 bucks and the lowest we found was 75 bucks. I got mine for 65 bucks.....pretty good deal I must say!

We were not supposed to spend because I am supposed to be saving up for school...yes...you heard that right I am going to pursue another Diploma somewhere in May. It's an enrichment Diploma which will allow me to give extra enrichment classes at primary/secondary schools and of course in most pre-schools.

But since we had our needs, we thought this might be our last mind-boggling expenditure (I hope!) Beau and I are trying to cut cost by not going shopping, not going to Sim Lim square, less eating out so that will mean less meetings with him (tsk tsk....lol) for we are saving up for God knows what's installed for us next,hehehehehe!

So I paid for beau's boots and he paid for mine. His boots was twice the price of my shoes but I guess I can earn some money again from tutoring.

For now, it's time to save up for school and I hope Beau completes his CV and resume soon, it's time for him to get a job, a proper job.

For now, I will go back to Harry Potter. I am now reading the last book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's getting darker and darker. I get scared too as I read them and yah......laugh all you can but reading the books does give me the creeps and it did send a chill down my spine.

I shall apparate now....whooooosh....(so much for being 23....lol!)

So much for the lazy,sleepy Saturday, it's back to Sunday!

I couldn't wait to meet the girls at the pitch....and of course to watch the game,haven't been watching soccer for the last few months so amateur soccer "pun jadi lah!"

I woke up really early to help mum with the cooking but she woke up late so it's not my fault that I did not get to help her in the kitchen by the time she's up. I had to go, so it was no-fun at all as I made my way out of the house,knowing at the back of my mind, mom was nagging really,really bad.

I've been trying to improve on beau's sleeping habits. I even bought him a handphone stand from Sim Lim square. He has trouble waking up so having the stand might help a bit but I think what he needs is a REAL alarm clock that goes ringing non-stop for 5 consecutive times.

We used to take turns waking one another up in the morning for work but it has always been me because I always worry that we might both be late. I do not mind waking him up but the thought of waking the his whole house up in the early morning just scares the *toot out of me. I mean, his family needs to sleep too right?

Anyway, I'll solve that later.

I know beau's a little disappointed that he couldn't use his Starhub MOBILE $100 voucher because of a few reasons. I know he really yearns for a touch-screen mobile phone. We were this close in getting a touch screen LG mobile phone for him but as we sat down and discuss thoroughly over it, he finally decided to let it go.

I could see the sadness in his eyes yet I was proud of him. He was making sense and was thinking it through. This time, we did not act on impulse and I think everyone at the centre could hear our deep discussion. I'm happy that we were able to weigh the importance of our "needs" and "wants" so I hope there'll be more progression in decision-making..insyallah

Today however,being the most happiest day of our lives since we were both laughing and smiling a lot, he did took the chance to irritate the donkey out of me. Oh well......I did bug him a little bit. In any case my dear, I still love you seh!

Anyway, I wasn't really looking forward to Monday. Besides experiencing the cramps and 'heavy downpour', I wasn't in the right mood to be at work YET..I'm not sure why.

I hope I can prolong Sunday...hai...

On a lighter note, I finished reading the 5th book,"the order of the phoenix" and am now proceeding to the "half-blood prince."

Oooooo......a new adventure awaits so I gotta go......accio book..tatata felow netizens.

Being 23 will not stop me from reading ehem...ehem..Harry Potter's books. I've always been a great fan of J.K Rowling.

I guess people are now moving on to those books ehem..ehem..."new moon" and the other novels. I have not read anyone of them for I am currently drawn back to Harry Potter. I have not read the last 3 books.

I managed to borrow the books from one of my Lao shi's daughter..so there....I'm happy!

I have forgotten about the story so I went back to re-read "the order of the phoenix" before proceeding with the last 2 books. Mom's been nagging at me and I can feel that she's "allergic" to books. She just couldn't stand the sight of books...or worst..me reading a book at home.

Ironically, she was the one who spoils me with books. I was not an avid reader back in my primary school days so she bought me all sorts of books to read and I had to read to her every night before I go to bed. (er...shouldn't it be the other way round?)

That's where I got hooked. Back in my secondary school days, she used to bring home super-thick novels that cost a bomb at Borders, Kinokuniya or even Times. She got them for free when tourists at her workplace gave the books to her after reading them.

I'm not a bookworm nor an avid reader but I enjoy reading.

It's a cool Saturday and I felt that it has been a while since we experienced showers. Good thing...it rained.

In any case, I shall go back to Harry Potter while Mom's away at work. Merlin's beard....


shucks...there's still housework...if only I'm a student of Hogwarts..."REPARO"..... (ok..too much of Harry Potter)

Labels: Harry Potter

same kind of feeling: Heart literally breaks when you reall,really,really fall to its deepest pit EQUATES to greatest fall from the tallest building?

When you spend so much time and effort,again and again,again and again, to make everything work, to be accomodative, to be sensitive, again and again,again and again. But, is it any wonder if one is giving too much or too little?

Life is a journey,it is. Feeling half-emptied...

I really hope Paulo Coelho produces new books this time around....and more to come soon!

The weather is unbearable these days and I get agitated whenever I do not have the chance to replenish my body system. I get sleepy too....lethargic lah seh!

I'm planning to run tomorrow after work since my student is sick and tution has been canceled.

Workload is pilling up. The portfolios and upcoming lesson plans needs to be updated. Updates for the class field trip to Jacob Ballas Children's Garden is still pending. I wrote an email to National Park Board and gave my enquiries to them. Hopefully, I'll be able to plan the field trip by early April or latest May.

On a heavier note, I'm "dry" this month. 10 more days before I get my paycheck....I'm seriously broke. The only source of income for me now is the tution sessions conducted thrice a week. But, my student is sick so there goes my source of income.

Oh dear......I'm afraid February's paycheck will run dry fast enough with all the incoming bills, bills and more bills.

Oh dear.....

Once again...I ran ALONE again. As usual, my running buddy aka the love of my life,"my cheeky keybing" was busy with "combat arms."

I'm still waiting for the day where he will run with me...when when when?

I wasted no time today. The moment I got home, I changed into my PT kit and called 'sayang' to see whether he'll change his mind and jog with me.

To my disappointment, he's on "kill mode!"

I decided to run alone. This time, I decided to do rounds. I've not been jogging for more than 5 months so I figured 10 rounds is too much for me for a start. I pushed myself today. I ran all the way from my place, past the whole Choa Chu Kang Crescent area, past Kranji Camp, past Limbang park,past Choa Chu Kang park and down to the stadium where I continued for another 7 rounds.

I missed him already but what to do.....sigh*

Anyway, I felt rejuvenated after the run and the long walk home soonafter.

I'm planning to run at least thrice a week but I wonder whether I can keep up with it. I am considering bringing my running shoes to work and run after work before giving tution in the evening.

Beau set his goals this year that he wants to tone up. But he hasn't been doing it besides attending soccer every Sunday.

What happened to "I'm so lucky to have a girlfriend who runs and exercise with me. This way, we'll keep fit and get to spend time together."

Only God knows.....



Hehehe...okok....stop the whinning, I still love this "cheeky keybing" nonetheless.Hehehehe....

Lazy Sunday!

I had socks on today,not sure why I'm putting it on for the whole day,hahahaha!
Dad thinks I'm crazy!

I did not get to accompany beau to soccer today. He told me to rest at home. As much as I want to accompany him today, I took his advice and stayed home.

I did not do much today, was busy "lazing around" in my room. The Simpson's Valentine's Day marathon special was super hilarious,super corny and cheesy and sweet too!

I sent beau our savings plan for him to look at and I did my ibanking application with DBS online.

Spending online will be easy now for I just applied for the Debit card. I applied for beau too and my oh my, he used it liao,hehehehe! We are not really keen in having a credit card, I feel it's really dangerous. Having the debit card comes in handy and safe...helps to curb our spending.

Fund transfer, payment of bills and etc will be hassle-free....now that my ibanking is secured.
I had a quick check of my cpf statement online today to get more updates.

Tomorrow's Monday, back to children. Back to reality.........

After thinking it through, I've made my decision and I pray for it to be true.

Otherwise.....

Soft you, a word or two before you go.
I have done the state some service, and they know't:
No more of that. I pray you in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely, but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme, of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe' of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees

Their medicinable gum. Set you down this,
And say besides that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turbanned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by th' throat the circumcised dog
And smote him - thus!


I'm not sure if he's ready to hear the plan yet but someday, somehow, we will pull this through together. He's the one.....with Allah's grace and wisdom, he is and will be...insyallah

Sayang, I'm going to send you the savings proposal. We have to start soon *smiles

Hmmm...it's so hard to have a "show and tell"
I'm happy...yes...indeed and I'm sure beau did too!

All I can say is....we miss "the days and standstill" already.
We had an exchange of "vows"...in a weird way.

My mood was disrupted when he got a call from his "ex" whom I simply do not wish to elaborate or know more about this person. The thought of it is really upsetting!

I just did not want things to get "messy" again. He could see that I was very upset but soonafter I began to cool down.

Oh well,on a lighter note, it was nice to see the 'florist' earning loads of "ka-ching ka-ching" today since it's Valentine's day. We had our celebration way...... earlier (*grins) and we miss it already! (sob sob)

Anyway, I don't really celebrate Valentine. To me, if you love someone,it can be Valentine's day everyday for you (not 14th Feb all year long!)

My "Funny Valentine" : Dinner at Mcdonalds (hehehehehehe!) and a pair of matching slippers from beau.

Soon to come, I promised beau his Super Ligera soccer boots and memory card from Qisahn.


And sooooooon....perharps.....holiday getaway.....again for you, beau?

Everyone's quick on their toes these days. It's such a busy week and it gets so busy that I hardly drink water. My throat's running dry but the endless crying and attention-calling is something I cannot miss.

There was no time to rest, no time to even sit and breathe properly. The only time my butt touches the floor was during Circle time. Then it was back to "rush hour period."

Beloved beau has been fetching me from work and sending me off for my tution session without fail every week. His aunt was kind enough to let him fetch the both of us from work since her workplace is a 20-minutes drive away from my place.

Today, I met his grandma. My heart was pounding but it was all gone for she was a very sweet lady and so was his aunt.
I did not realise that he was going to bring me to his house next, I was caught off-guard. It's been a long time since I last paid a visit there. Everyone was there. Mum told us to have dinner before going and beloved decided to take an all-girls picture of us eating together in front of the tv.

It was such a funny sight but I felt really happy.
