Wednesdays

Wednesdays used to be nice. I use to wait for it in anticipation. Wednesdays = CSI. CSI is now super not nice without Gil. I think I'm going to stop soon, but I'm still hopeful. At least Criminal Minds is showing on Thursdays. I miss Gil Grissom.

Seven pineapples. I'm wiped out. . I have a new 3 year old (turning 4 in August) boy. My mum the principle says : I only give you 2 new students and you're already so messed up. She gave me a 3 year old, she may as well have given me 5.

I'm so tired, no more Maths please.

Great Weeks

writing at 4am when I have a full day ahead of me. wait, a full week ahead of me.... stupid girl.

Mum left for camp yesterday, she'll be back Saturday night when I've left for HK in the evening. Then she leaves for Cebu till 18 and I'm back on the 17th. So no mum for 1 week. I can handle it. yes I can, yes I can. I can!! I did it for 6 and a half months =P my brothers, on the other hand, definitely can't

very old and fat brother : "how do you use the washing machine? I don't know how many scoops of soap to use!"

and I'm not around for 5 days.. we'll see what become of the house when I get back.

on another note, probably on the same key and the same time and the same piano, or violin(pick one), It's been a great week and the next week looks great too.

GB/BB anniversary dinner last Saturday. Oh my, the girls have grown. Yen May is now 14! where did time go? I remember training her in my squad when she was just a cadet - 6 or 7? Couldn't even recognize some of them. What was I thinking not going back to GB all this time? I miss it, I love it, I love the girls, I love the ministry. Say goodbye to free/sleep-in Saturdays, but it's so worth it. The dinner was sooooooo good. So proud of 1st KL!! I just dumped myself on a table full of cadets and juniors =D And to see all ye old friends again was bliss. Girls' Brigade, 1st KL, 12 years of my life. Thank you Lord

Nina is back!! Two years is too long. Spent the whole Monday with her. So.much.fun. It was her birthday. Made a cake, had lots of cheese, she gave me her heart made of wax, laughed at nonsense and I can't wait to eat sushi in the cinema with her again.

Maybelle is 21! Gosh, 21! again, time flies. Her party's tomorrow at a club. First time. (I know right?! so noob I hear you say. I don't like la! cannot ar?) Will try my best to enjoy myself. I won't know anyone there but her. There's alcohol, okay, it'll be fine.

She stayed over last night. we went shopping today and I tried on many very high heeled shoes. It's so nice to be on top of the world!

Then it's HONG KONG! I can't wait!! and not just Hong Kong, Doulos too!!

and then... SCHOOL! or rather... PINEAPPLES! oh how I miss them. I can't wait to have my daily dose of pineapple joy again.

then then then, Singapore on Friday. Uncles birthday. Whole family will be there including the super cute niece and nephews. and Singapore means I get to see Kathy!! Yaaaaaaaay!

following that, I'll just have GB and pineapples. Life can be good =)

I should sleep. The stupid haze is back, making everyone sick, including me. mehhh

Rhymes, it's full of rhymes

It's the 18th of May today, 

More than halfway. 

It's also a holiday, 

What am I doing today? 

Oh, nothing much,

Just sitting and bumming, 

Had a good brunch. 

In front of the comp, 

facebooking and such. 

Suppose to be exciting, 

Suppose to be relaxing. 

But things don't go my way.

So suck up and sulk.

Thirty minutes more,

We'll see if things change,

Two hours more

I'm waiting for a change

London or Melbourne,

Bali or Yogyakarta?

Either way I fly away

I need this, I need to be away

BFM - Business Music station

BFM - Brave flying masters

BFM - Boeings for modification

BFM - Bout- time for moments-away

It's in a cage now,

I see gray bars

I reach out my hand now

It all seems too far

It's 8 in the morning

The brother still snoring

Coffee is not black

My morning's now whacked

The pineapples smile

The pineapples joy

Oh, a day with the pineapples

My heart is filled with their joy

My heart doesn't like my mind

My mind doesn't like my heart

It's a gruesome battle

I hate that they argue all the time

The pain and the suffering

In all of it's kind

Should never exist

God, won't you be kind?

~

This post is full of rhymes

I never intended it

It's elementary rhymes

But I don't care, I like it

Too much Dr Seuss perhaps

Too much green eggs and ham

Too much pestering from a pineapple 

It's okay, I'd do alot for those pineapples. 

 

What Happened?

I can't believe it's the 13th of May. Almost halfway through May already. Last time I checked April just swooshed by. What happened? In 4 months, I'm 20. When people say September, you think - end of the year. Now it's only 4 months, and 4 months ago, it was CNY. What happened? Sports day this Sat, teachers day this Sat, end of term on the 30th, HK in June, then what? 6 more months of teaching and that's it, it's 2010 - uni (Where ever it is) I can't wait for that part but must time really pass so fast? It's seems to pass faster since I started teaching. Right now, with nothing planned out after HK, I'm worried that time will just pass me by and when it's all gone, I look back and say "what happened?"  This time last year, I didn't feel this way. Doulos was almost ending and there was Australia to look forward too! I was doing something in my life, it wasn't a mundane repeat. Though can I really say my days are mundane now? I do love teaching... I may need something else. Something solid to look forward to. OM's short term mission to Turkey's very appealing. We'll see about that. I don't want to say "what happened" at the end of 2009.
 

Written Out

I finally decided to write. about.... I dunno la!

Today's mothers day, I forgot! I remember, then the moment I do, I forget. Like this morning, I remembered when I woke up, then when in church, I greeted the aunties good morning and they looked at me weird. I thought I was just seeing things, but then someone comes along and says "hello, Happy mothers day" and I go CRAP, I forgot. So I sit down with my coffee determind to remember. The next aunty comes up to me and I greet her "Good morning" Super fail I tell you. Lucky I remember to wish mum, though no presents this year - because I keep forgetting!

Anyway, I'm sitting here at the computer with my beer, BFM tuned in and the air con turned on. It's a good day. Though if something happened in the next 5 hours, it would make it an awesomest day. Till then, I shall enjoy this day and take tomorrow when it comes. Tomorrow Solomon comes back! Oh, how I missed that pineapple. Hernia is not something for a 5 year old to go through I teeeeell you. So 5 pineapples in the class tomorrow, I can't wait. Sometimes, I forget I get paid for what I'm doing. Such a bonus=) 

There's uni I could talk about. Been pretty set on Newcastle until Eli360 come in again and now I'm thinking about America again. The only way I can think about it is - how is America better than Australia? SO MANY WAYS - different culture, country, people. Christian uni that leads me into the faith+career path. American system - Liberal arts. etc. and the other question - how is Australia better than America? I'm so attached to Australia - the biggest reason I can think of. So I shall go along with America. I still have other things to deal with besides deciding which country. So if America really happens/can happen, then I'll stick to it. Though my heart still says Australia, Australia, Australia. I HAVE TO GET OVER IT!

The mission trip was great. Not as attached to the people as I normally am when I go up to a kampung, but I got that " I want to stay longer" feeling and it was a strong feeling. So much more to learn, see, experience etc. I got it in Australia and I was blessed. Makes me want to do it again though it isn't easy (another reason for America!) 

I'm rambling. but a post is better than no post yes? besides it's nice to have things written out. I could say more like.. I'm getting so fat but I don't care, or HK may not happen because of the porkie flu, or my rooms a big rubbish dump and I should clean it... Nah!

Well, I hope the moon comes out again tonight. Yesterday, the stars were few and little but the moon was bright and full. So beautiful....
