Yesh... I going to say again that I am busy busy busy... A bit cannot take it le but will hold on to it. Its never easy to juggle so many things all at once. Right now I am juggling with school(project, quiz, presentation etc), tution assignment, new house stuff, household chores, my baby (which i dunno, why recently he like superglue to me) and driver(need to fetch my baby to school and lao ye to work, if he work morning shift, I have to wake up at 5.45am for both weekdays and weekend!).

This few days busy finding for contractor to do my kitchen and toilets. Oh and yes for most who dunno, I got my own home sweet home liao but not moving in so soon cos still need to renovate and paint. Have been running around to get renovation quotes but still haven find one that can satisfy our budget.

Next week will be another crazy week. Having quiz for e-commerce on monday, retail banking case study presentation on wednesday and internet security quiz on thursday. Then need to let Mr Benedict see our e-commerce presentation slide on thursday. Full completed project ui, database and my part expected to do finish by next week too... haiz... seriously those who chose IT as their course are just plain silly cos they will end up going crazy.

Anyway away from the busy week, I went to Genting last week before school reopen.

This time round I think baby got more fun as he dares to sit the kiddy rides which he dun previously. And of cos shopping!!!

One funny story to share with all which happened during the trip:

During our stay, we stayed at Hotel Resort and we are lucky enough to stay at their newly renovated rooms. So during our first night stay, my sis bought Gogo Frank cheeseballs. She went to bath while my baby and I eat the cheeseballs. I ate one and pass the whole box to my baby while I flip thru the newspaper and before I knew it, my baby ate the rest(i think is 4 of it). I told him I want to eat then he smile sheepishly and passed the box to me.

Its an empty box so i said to him " wah you eat so fast"

then he ran in front of the toilet door and shouted "yi yi, I eat so fast!"

He keep repeating that till I heard a scream from my sis. I walked to the toilet door and my baby is not there. Then when I turning around I saw my boy in the closet opening the door which will reveal the toilet. The closet can be open two side, one side of cos is from the room and the side is from the toilet which mean you can take clothes from the closet thru the room and toilet. Dun get what i trying to say? Well I got pics to explain about the closet.



^See the wooden sliding door, thats the door which u open from the room.



^This pic was taken from the toilet. See part of the mirror with me in it?
The mirror is the sliding door for the same closet from the toilet.



^On the left is the glass door of the shower area

Busy Week
Busy week... Start this week term break with project discussion on monday(gave tution as well) and tuesday. On tuesday after project discussion, went out with my mom and sis. So funny can, I rent a car and it is auto/manual aka semi-manual and i got a hard time getting used to the car, keep laughing in the car while driving. Drove the whole day and super tired cos we lost our way.
On wednesday went to find school for my baby then drove my sis to habour front, yet again we lost our way. Called my dad(our gps)for direction before setting out, he said go by CTE then AYE then exit Pasir Pajar. So off we go from CTE to AYE then i saw a signage which said exit telok blangah. Told sis that i think we overshot cos my classmate wai chong keep saying his place near sentosa and vivo city so i pretty sure we have to exit telok blangah. Sis said dad said exit pasir pajar. So we go straight and further we go reaching Jurong port and going towards Tuas. That is not the worse part. When my sis finally alight at habour front, she kept saying "jie go straight remember must go straight to expressway then go home..." Guess what the go straight is going to Jurong again... Lucky I knew it soon enough to u-turn. I really suck at direction. Need my dad wherever I go. He know the direction but cannot drive, I can drive but dunno direction. One is the head, the other is the hands and legs.
Driving alone and blasting music can be a way to destress but driving can be very tired especially when I keep losing my way... Driving can be expensive too.. The day i rent the car, the petrol, ERP and parking fee cost me more than 70 bucks. When buying car in singapore really need to think hard.. if not, got car no money...
Anway then on thursday, continue to find school for baby under the super hot sun. Finally found one and registered him for next year. Thursday and Friday I have been trying to do the user interface for my project but i got huge problems with vb to a breaking point where i nearly cry then ah bao asked me why dun give vb student do?, he also said for us to do vb we will need a lot of help, just like how he got help from others during his opp. Well I did sort of ask them. I email my team mates to give them 2 options, 1 is to do their own function without the common user interface, 2 is anyone volunteer to help me us(its our project, remember?) do the common ui and once i settle the vb problem then i will continue from there. And sad to say, only Yana(same as me, she is J2EE path) offers to help. The rest chose option 1. I was kinda disappointed, like ah bao said last sem, why is leader supposed to do all the things(design, compile etc), there is no points to say leader should do all, leader are there to guide the team not bao ka liao. And the problem is if the project meet with any problems, the leader get all the stabbed cos there is sure to be complaints among group members without the leaders knowing.

Today mood is so much better than the past two days. For the past two days, I felt kinda sad and super disappointed. On monday my course coordinate, Ms Tan called to see if i am interested to go China for OPP. Have receive 2 emails from her but I never reply or go for the briefing. But after talking to her, she said it will be good for career and blah blah blah... I was interested to go but i also need to consider for my family and my in laws which i told ms tan then she asked me to attend the briefing first to understand more then decide.

I called Harmon to ask him if he going for the long or short term of OPP but he did not pick up the phone. He called me back and my mother in law overheard my conversation with him. She told me it will be a good opportunity to go and ask me not to worry about my baby, she will arrange the rest, she just asked me to grab this opportunity and dun worry anything else. I was very touched by her support but in the end, hubby dun allow me to go. I was utterly disappointed. Nothing much to say, i guess this opportunity will be another regret in my life.

Here comes the weekend.... so is my term break.... But this semester term break will be doing project project project. 3 different projects. Tired really tired, have been doing reports after reports. May need to buy somemore formal wear for presentation, this sem like wear so many times of formal wear that it kind of become a norm.

Anyway the good news is I got my driving license. Finally! Haha, thought I will fail cos the tester nag from the start to the end of the test but after all the nagging he gave me a pass. haha, need to thank the tester cos i also learn a lot from him. Straight after i pass the test, I went back home then my mil asked me to go for "driving orientation" cos my in-laws car is mercs which is auto, continental plus it is bigger compare to the usual car i drove which was manual, japanese and medium car. So there we go, I was the driver, my bro-in-law seat beside me while my mil and kiern-boy seat behide. We go round and round seletar reservoir, saw my com skill 2 teacher at the seletar reservoir carpark, i was driving and she was trying to cross the road so i signal her to go first then i think she thought i looked familiar cos she keep turning back to see me.. haha.. i did not recognise her until later part.

Then suddenly the car engine stalled. Mil said i never accelerate enough then I was thinking auto car can never stall engine then bro-in-law replied to mil "impossible where got auto car stall engine one". The car was like stuck at a small slope. We tried all ways and no way the car start so mil called sos.. my father-in-law. Eventually, he walked from the home to the seletar reservoir. By car it is near less than 5 mins can reach but by leg it was like more than 15mins. haha.. so in the end he called the garage ppl and they said need to tow the car. So there he is waiting for the tow truck while the rest of us walked all the way back home and poor me have to carry a 15kg small boy all the way cos he refused to let anyone else carry. Anyway the car was fix immediately once it reached the garage. Fil said one wire was damage that why. Brother in law keep saying i so unlucky first time drive then this kinda thing happen.. haiz.. i hope it won't happen again.

Initially, my baby refused to let me drive. He keep siting on the driver seat and hold the key. In the end, bil lied that he will drive and took the keys from baby while my mil grabbed baby to the back then I hurried sat at the driver seat and started driving. Baby keep crying said mummy cannot drive, i want to go home. Asked my mil go away. We said we bring him see monkey he said no. After about 5 mins drive, my baby got used and just enjoying his ride. He was not used to mummy driving cos most of the time i be sitting with him that why. I guess he has to get use to it...

Today while coming back home, in a cab, I suddenly felt a little emo. Was alone in the cab, well of cos the driver is there doing his job, while I seat at the back of taxi alone. Looking out of the window watching people goes by at Orchard Road. Realised Orchard change a lot, with all the new shopping malls coming up and some old malls renovating or had renovated. Thought of my 23 years life. Life is never so rosy, most people who see me now thinks that I have a good life but you guys never know what I have been through. Thought of how I wasted about 2 years of my life job hopping, never study, clubbing etc. I could have done so much in those 2 years. But if its wasn't for those 2 years, I will not have my precious baby and if its wasn't for those 2 years, I will not have a extended wonderful family. I guess that is what you call blessing in disguise. I know sometimes in school now, people will think I kiasu or arrogant, keep wanting to get good grades but that because I know how important education is to this society and of cos its very important for me, for my future and I tried so hard to study again, that why I do not want to give up so easily and I cannot give up. Saw people dress pretty go clubbing, meet up with friends... but here I am alone.. then thought of all my frens that left their foot prints in my life... who will be the one I can turn to when something happens to me, who will be there for me when I need a fren, then again I cannot think of anyone. Can't blame my frens cos I am not good in socializing, networking or even keeping in touch with them.. Am I a good person or bad person? After 23 years of life span, I still trying very hard to understand myself or should I say trying very hard to be the prefect someone.. had see people who said one thing and do another thing.. see people who back-stab one another... see people who talk bad at people yet act like an angel in front of everyone.. this kinda people let me think if I unknowingly am one of them.. and sometimes I am scared, scared of myself as I do see the evil me... And why do people celebrate birthday? Is to celebrate that we stay alive for the one year or is to celebrate that we are nearer to R.I.P?... Hubby just called to say Happy Birthday to me... was thinking how nice will it be if someone give me a small surprise? Hubby will never give me surprise cos he is the most practical old man you ever seen. Guess the surprise I want, I will need my baby to grow up then maybe he will give his mummy surprised and am crossing my fingers that is will not be too practical like his daddy... if not I may not get any surprised for the rest of my life...
Just came back from my retail therapy. Seriously I need to restraint myself from spending money for the next 2 months. Have been spending a little too much this past one month. For com skill, I went to AMK hub to get a bottom for presentation but in the end I got myself a top, skirt and 2 pairs of shoes. Friends who know me well know i am shoe craze. Then today wanna buy foundation cos my Anna Sui foundation crack up and in the end I bought a foundation, 2 tops, 1 clutch bag and 1 hp pouch.. but the clutch bag and hp pouch, my sis offer to buy for me as birthday present so thank you... and I nearly bought another pair of shoe today after my sis left but too bad the size I want is out of stock. My sis was trying to stop me from buying during our shopping trip, "No shoe, no more shoe, you have a lot of shoes"... This month I seriously overspend.. still got stuffs from victoria secert... haiz.. that's the problem with gals. We can't seem to stop ourselves from some "harmless" retail therapy.
So tired.. birthday coming le... but dun have the feeling of happy cos so many things to think of.. project, proposal, resume, cover letter..... my mei mei asked me what i want for birthday 2 days ago, told her i will think n let her know but up till now no time to think... haiz....
