coincidence
Today I brought my mum and my auntie to Suntec City walk walk. Took train from JE with my mum to meet my auntie at Tiong Bahru. Then after met her, we took train for 4 stations to City Hall. Very Very coincidental, on the train someone give up the seat to my mum. My mum was calling me to sit, as I was carrying my small girl. Then I turn around and saw a very familiar face. And that was Wanjing. I have not seen her for about 4 years, but I remember her name very clearly. Other than Wanjing, there are 3 more of them, stephanie, veronica and another girl whom I have not taught b4, but she was in red cross. I din remember her name on the spot. Now I have a name in my mind, but I dun know whether it is correct or not. should be Joycelyn? or something like that.They were in sec 1 the year I left JWSS. Now they are all in JC/polys. And all grown up to be pretty young ladies.
I am very happy to see them and seeing them still so close to one another really warm my heart and of course their generousity in giving up their seats. My small girl was quite cranky that time. She wanted to sleep but she was not tired enough.
I actually had more things to ask them, about their current life, their school work, future work etc. But I din have time to do so. Wanjing still look quite sad to me. I wanted very much to give her a pat on the shoulder, but I didn't. The pain of losing a good friend, I know its still very deeply in their heart. When I saw them, I thought of Alvina, they were so close together but now so far apart. I hope no matter what happened, they can all live happily and live life to the fullest.

driving lessons
today I went for my driving lessons and on the way to BBDC, I saw Mabel.
I think quite a number of them are learning driving.
I saw Alvin last month or maybe 2 months ago, at the BBDC also.
After a short talk with Mabel, get to know that Junming is also learning driving.
Quite curious, how different is Junming now as compare to 4 years ago?

some construction at home
These few days my house toilet will be undergoing some small "renovation". Din do any when we shift in the house last time. The condition of the toilets not very good. And recently the tiles keep retaining water inside and breed mosquito. So have to do some minor renovation of toilet floor to put things in proper order. Change the toliet bowls also. Today is their 1st day of work. Saturday morning all will be complete.
So this week I have to stay at home to supervise the work and din get to see my small girl at all. miss her quite a bit. Saturday afternoon will go Jurong to fetch her back.
I actually have knitting lessons today. But becoz have to stay home to wait for the toilet thing to be done, have to miss one lesson. My knitting of baby booties has some progress already. By next week, after I go for another lesson, I should be able to finish making one. I intend to make many many, all different colours.

planning-4 kids?
after some considerations, me and my hubby decided that we should have 4 kids instead of 3. For some reasons. I am a paraniod mother, maybe I should have more kids so that I will not regret or next time when I want to have more kids and I am too old for it.
Initially I wanted to try for a "rabbit", but now that I want to have 4 kids and I want to stop by age 35, means I may need to have a "tiger" kid. So that I can stop by age 35. I hope to have 3 girls and 1 boy. And hope the 3rd one can be boy and 4th one be girl. I think that is the maximum number of children I can have. My 2nd girl is thro c-sec, so I can't have too many c-sec again.
I will still be on no pay leave until the moment I tested positive. Then I will need to go back to teaching. After my 3rd child, then I will take no pay leave again, maybe for 2 years. Maybe many pple will think I am "over ambitious", but I think its gd for the children to have more siblings so that they can have support for one another. And they can play more games together. 4 children can play monopoly and other board games by themselves, without me and my hubby participation. And can play mahjong also...haha.....maybe I am too idealistic. I am making an assumption that they will all be on very close terms with one another.
Maybe becoz I am very close with my brother so I have very positive experience. My brother dote on me when I was very young, esp. in my primary sch days. I have alot of good memories. If I have a sister, probably I will be even closer to her. But I only have a brother. I think a big family will be very good. and when come to celebration of events, will be very re4 nao4.
Am I thinking too much? I admire myself for being so "brave". 2 more times of pregnancy and 2 more times of child birth. And more sleepless nights and more cranky monsters. Am I going to go thro all these for another 2 times.
How I wish I can have twins. Then I only need to go thro 1 more time of pregnancy and 1 more time of child birth. And best is 1 boy 1 girl. Then fufil my quota and can close shop.
I am really thinking too much...........haha

meeting up with a friend
Today i met linlin for lunch. Have not seen her for about 1 year plus. We had a long chat. Alot of memories from the past came back. Those times in between year 1998-2001.I have not seen the others for many many years already. I missed those times when we went out together during NIE days. Those karaoke sessions, lunch session and the taiwan trip.Missed the teachers as well. But I don't know what to say if I visit them in NIE. Have not visit them for 4 years. Don't think they still remember me.
Maybe will bring my girl to NIE for walk next week, maybe can visit some lecturers.

2nd round of buffet
Today I brought my mum and my small girl to the same place I brought my big girl last friday. Now I try to make it a point to bring my mum out to walk walk everytime I have time. My small girl enjoy playing with the bowl and cup so much that she forgot to be cranky....lucky me.
dinosaurs are my friends
my girl is not afraid of big dinosaurs. becoz she knows barney is a dinosaur. So all dinosaurs become barney's friends and become her friends.

singing queen
Yesterday when I sent my big girl to her childcare centre at about 9 plus in the morning, the teacher told me to send earlier next time. [ last time when I am working, I used to sent her down at 7am]
The reason being she couldn't sleep during her nap time which is at 1pm. The teachers got no way to make her sleep and she refuse to listen to instructions to keep quiet. She disturb other children who are sleeping by singing songs. She can sing for 1 hour without stopping. The situation is similar b4 her bed time at night. I will send her into her room at about 10plus. And she will start to sing in the room. Until like 1 hour later when we din hear anymore singing, means she fell alseep.
So the teachers want me to wake her up earlier in the morning, as sleeping too much will result in her not able to nap in the afternoon. And they have problem keeping her mouth shut...haha

my new baby carrier-pikkolo
My new baby carrier arrived on friday from US. Bought online from oversea site. Only one shop in Singapore selling and price is $230. Bought online for USD129. After conversion, its about $194 Sin dollars. Shipping is free as combined orders. Ordered together with 2 of my ex collegues from AI.
Initially I wanted to buy an ergo carrier, but review on Pikkolo carrier is better. So I changed my mind last minute. And its a good investment. I tried out the back carrying and seems quite comfortable. Can carry my girl on my back like carrying a haversack. And can also carry my girl in front, facing me and facing outside. Can carry by side also. 4 different ways of carrying. My baby Bjorn can only carry in front with baby facing me or facing outside. And as my girl gets bigger, I find my back aching after carrying too long.
But this new pikkolo carrier put the weight of baby on my waist, so I dun feel too heavy. And my girl seems quite comfortable with it as she can move her hands quite freely. Good buy.

eat and eat
Today we went to boat quay area. eat some light stuffs at Liang Court.
Now we try to go somewhere every weekends. My small girl is bigger now, so can try try bring her outside more, see if she will be less cranky.
Both my girls love to eat.
dogs
Went to ASD adoption drive on Saturday morning. Not to adopt a dog, but to bring my girls to see the dogs.
Many Many years ago, I went with the ASD group to Noak Ark in Malaysia to see the dogs. And there are so many of them there, in the open area. Some of them are so big that even me as a dog lover is afraid of them.
went to Northpoint for lunch. Thai food. But there are many non spicy choices that my girls can eat.
a story
Ms R is getting married soon and I am feeling little uneasy about it. Why? becoz I am a little suspicious of the guy she is going to marry. Juz dun know why I find him not a very sincere person, or maybe I should say seems to be hiding things. Got a kind of "zhi2 jue2" that tells me that he got a "2nd life" other than the one we are seeing now. But i have no proof. Its just an instinct that made me felt that way. I am quite worried about her. But I cannot say anything becoz I have no proof and I dun know the person well enough.
I hope my instinct is wrong this time. Becoz I hope she can marry well. But if my instinct is right, and years later something not good happened, I will regret not telling her how I felt now. But even if I say now, will it make any difference?

busy monday
my mondays now are always busy. Have 2 tuition slots. So will be home quite late, around 8 something. tomolo I will be even more busy, as I have my advance theory test in the morning. Then follow by 2 tuition slots.
today my big girl trip and fell. Her head hit the cupboard and another bump on her forehead. This time more serious than the previous time. Now she got a long red line that runs from her forehead to the corner of her right eye. Think that will take another 5 days or more for the line to slowly disappear. She is quite accident prone. Actually I am also. Or maybe I should say I was. I used to fall down quite often.
Hope I will pass my advance theory tomolo.

meet up with daxiong
yesterday I had lunch with daxiong at JP bakerzin. Had a long chat with him. have not seen him for years.(other than the time at his wedding)
Glad that he is happier than 3 years ago. His 1st baby will be arriving in August.
When I talk to daxiong, its like talking to my brother. Maybe becoz of build and height, I find him very alike to my brother.
Hope that things will be well for him.
Tomolo I will be meeting 2 of my AISS friends for lunch. Now its exam period, so they will be a little more free. But when papers come in for marking, they will be busy again. So its a good time for some gathering now.
And next week my driving lessons will start. I will be a little more busy also.

a dress for my cupboard
To prevent the books and toys from collecting more dust. I make this. It was raining that day, too lazy and troublesome to go out and buy cloth. So I use what I have left with and joined them together to form a bigger piece.
