Just some funny(to me) incidents at work today:
During bath time, the boys and girls bathe tgt cause they are only 3 after all. So we have to strip them and wrap them in their towels while they wait for their turn to go into the toilet for their shower. So today, while I was looking for this boy's towel and while he was standing there naked and talking to a girl, she pulled his bird bird. haha. Like the kinda motion whereby you take your ring off your finger kind (and whereby the ring comes off smoothly and doesn't get stuck in your finger fat). Then she looked up and smiled as though very pleased with herself. Shortly, the boy smiled too. I was amused but I had at the same time, had to teach them about sexuality and how it is not to be toyed with so I told her "Bu keyi wan ta de niao niao". Then she walked away and he started playing with his niao niao under the towel I eventually wrapped over him. He kept doing it and smiling as if e doscovered a secret toy that was attached to his body. And all I could say was "Bu yao wan ni de niao niao".
Then later during free time, a few kids were sitting at the table in a corner doing some art work with bottles of paint like stuff but were like stamps so it was s imple bottle with a roundish felt tip at the end where the ink would come out from. You would think that these simple minded kids would sit there and chop chop chop the thing on their paper but nooo...One was sucking the ink out of it (and was also very pleased with herself about it) and the other decided to paint her toenails with it. After which, she walked over to the other corner where I was (playing with other kids) and proudly announced "Miss Qia, kan wo de jiao mei mei" (Miss Qia, look at my pretty toes). I coudn't help but laugh cause it's like damn creative la! Plus it was pink. So I told her that it wasn't nail polish and that her mum would scold her later (where she then not so prouldly said that "wo bu yao mummy ma wo" *sad face*) and tried to wash it off. It didn't really come out. I decided to be creative myself and sprayed some hand sanitizer (used on the kids) on tissue and tried to rub it off. I figred it'd have the same effect as nail polish removers on nail polish cause of the alcohol. Tried as I might, the ink didn't totally disappear although it faded slightly by about half a shade. Then I realised that the words "Alcohol Free!" were printed on the sanitizer bottle as if it were a good thing. Riight. Not in this instance.
Alrighty off to bed!Bought 2 more dresses from modparade=) hope it's not all sold out/pending. That's what i'm intending to do with all the birthday money you aunties gave me =) Thanks aunties and godmas! Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY DAISY!

No one visits my blog anymore because of it's lack of updates so i shall blog!
Firstly, many thanks to those who wished me a happy 19th even though I'm not exactly thrilled to be stuck at the odd age of 19. It also happens to be my last year of 10+ yearhood if you know what I mean. I'm olding.
Secondly, I think I'm gonna update my wishlist so it's easier for you guys to get me presents although it's abit too late. But maybe (for whatever reason I can't think of) you feel like spoiling me, at least you'd know what to buy.
I have been "celebrating" my birthday for about 3 days now and I think that's quite about enough. HAHA. Macham like some princess like that.
On the 20th which is the actual day of my birthday (for the sake of those who didn't wish me. please rmb next yr btw. no i'm not jking.), I went to Kuishinbo at Suntec for my birthday buffet dinner! Thanks mum and dad for the dinner=) I was abit pissed off at first cause the entire inside of the restaurant was already reserved so we had to sit outside. First and only thing that crossed my mind was: Shit we're never gonna get any of the special dom-dom-dom offers. SUPER UPSET. To make it worse, we were seated behind this big grp of shit ass boys who were talking and extremely loudly and in CHIIIIINESE. I wondered whether this is how I behave when outside with big groups of friends but today made me realise that I don't. Anyway, to make it even worse, I walked in and there was this big group of beng people who well, got the inside seats! Guess I'm abit person-cist but I just hated the fact that they had beaten us to it. But it turned out pretty okayy cause the waitresses would tell customers sitting outside beforehand that the bell would be ringing shortly so actually we can go in and loiter around the counter for awhile before the offer bell rings. haha! So quite happy bout that although this time, I didn't attempt to go for all the offers for fun like I did the first time.
21st Feb. Was supposed to go to dempsey for dinner with anne,clare and ney but it totally slipped my mind that there was a youth mass that I had to sing for! So we had to make do with lunch instead and at Tampines Mall at that cause it's nearer to church. Wanted to eat at Ding Tai Fung but the queue was snaking long so we ate at Pizza hut instead. Apparently, it wasn't quite good enough for the 3 of them who shamefully used me being a Princess as an excuse to celebrate properly at Dempsey. So looks like my b'day celebration is gonna streeeetchh all the way till next week. Thanks girls for the Anna Sui perfume=) It's not too strong and the bottle is very pretty! Can't wait till our "first course" celebration =) ("Pizza Hut is just the appetizer" says Anne Lim the Queen.)
22nd Feb which is today! I was supposed to have lunch with love's family at fish and co today. Assumed it was at tampines mall but found out that I'd misinterpreted and it was actually supposed to be at changi airport. Anyhoos, he came to pick me up from my house (first point of suspicion) which was strange cause he could have gone straight with his family. Then he refused to leave my place even though we were kinda running late and he said "Relax la. Watch some TV. Anyway their not there yet" even though he wasn't msging anyone which made it impossible to know whether they had reached. Also msged my cousins to tell them not to come too early (my place) since I'd be out for lunch. Angela replied "okayy. see you later at your place!" The words "your place" kinda got to me. As if she was emphasizing it. As it she was only gonna meet me later at MY PLACE. Haha..other points of suspicion which I can't really rmb but I hafta admit I was half fooled into thinking I was really gna meet his family for lunch. Was abit nervous cause we were like late and matt kept saying nvm it's okay! Then when we arrived at fish and co, I saw a shady figure bending low and creeping around and to my horror (no la kidding) it looked like HOGAN. Haha that was when I confirmed my suspicions: MY COUSINS DID NOT FORGET ME AFTER ALL AND WANTED TO SOME SORT SPEND MY BIRTHDAY (although belated) WITH ME! Very happy thank you REG who seemed to lias with Matt the most. Thank you Mar for coming down even though you have a test tmr on top of being UTI girl. Thank you Row for sitting next to me and giving me your tartar sauce. Thank you Gee for eating the scraps of cake and attempting to surprise even though I think next time you should just shut up. Thank you Edwin for coming even though you have to book in today and stuff. Thank you Hogan for (spoiling the surprise. No la kidding.) taking leave and coming all the way down from the West. Thanks Baby for pulling all this tgt. You were pretty convincing overall and I really appreciate the effort put in for this to work (I understand it wasn't very easy what with the many distractions and all). Thanks EVERYONE for my pretty Guess bag! However I might change it to off white instead since I alr have like agabzillion black bags. Thanks for lunch also =) Most importantly, THANKS FOR MAKING ME LOOK LIKE SUCH A BIG FAT IDIOT. Thank goodness it was at the airport therefore fish and co was relatively empty. I swear if it was at TM or something....ppfftt...
Okayy wanted to upload the video but silly Reg left her cam at my house so I can't upload since her mem card is too small to fit into my lappy. Plus my cable is of a different brand so it won't fit. Well too bad! Fish and co ppl made me stand on a CHAIR and hold sparklers while rapping something cool and then everyone sang me happy birthday. HAHA. Me and my big mouth. Told Matt at kuishinbo that day that I would like it if the staff came out with my cake and sang happy birthday very loudly to me.
Ew I'm watching the embalming dead bodies show on channel 5. I can only imagine the pungent smell of the room. Mannnn..Really thankful for the embalmers though. Okayy gonna like watch it without distractions now so tata!

I'm sicckkk! Been having fever since Friday morning which was a crazy morning because for some reason or another, 3 of the kids thought it would be funny to all cry at the same time (during shower time) and constantly ask me where their amah/Ibu/Daddy is. It's like they knew that I was sick and then did it on purpose! Usually on normal days I would try my best to hoax them and make them stop but I was so weak on Friday and I had to dress other kids that I seriously thought I was going to die. Everyone knows how being sick makes a person feel. Like very nua. Even the other teacher thought that the noise was too much to handle and she was feeling healthy and inside the bathroom bathing the kids. It was pretty excruciating for me.
Anyways the staff there are very very nice because some helped me ask around (as in ask other teachers) for some fever med which I took and really did work for some time! One of the main teachers in my class also told me to take a short nap after taking the meds tgt with the kids and I felt so much better after that! Oh and I didn't have to do OT also (which I had to do on that day because one of the teachers were on MC) and was covered by someone else. Very supercalifragilistically touched!
My fever thingy is damn weird. Like it keeps suka suka coming and going even though I'm regularly taking my fever tablets! (which are bitter and melts almost immediately) Plus I can feel that something is stuck at the back of my throat leading up to my nose. It's like everytime I swallow, I feel that shitass of a thing travel upwards and it's very umcomfortable. I wanna stick something into my nostrils and force it to go back down to the mouth area and down to my damn stomach. I doubt my finger is long enough. plus it's not like I can scotch tape 2 fingers tgt to make it longer. Ugh damnit.
Hope I recover by today man, or else work is a no-go tmr. No way in hell am I passing on my sickness to the almost immunity-less young ones. See Marc, how am I scary I'm so nice!
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE! (which was actually ytd 070209) AND ALSO HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY (which was also ytd 070209)
Oh I forgot to add that I suddenly thought of the fake disneyland in China and decided to go check out more pictures on the net. Haha it's really quite hilarious how they modify abit here and there to try and make it not exactly like the real Disney characters. The best part is that the modification is not even a better one but makes the characters look much worse! I rmb how Mrs Wee told us that the manager of the park said that "Mickey Mouse" is actually not a mouse but a "cat with big ears". Well I didn't know cats had round ears. Also, the mascots apparently often take off their head gear which is extremely unprofessional plus they even dare to take photos with kids minus the head gear. The worst part I think is that some of the park goers are very uneducated and think that it is a hundred percent alright to copy disney since "these disney characters do not belong to anyone". So stupid and ignorant! Intellectual property rights! I guess that's what communism does to people. Patriotic but without logic.
Aside from the theme park, they have also apparently set up and fast food restaurant called MFC which is a blatant combination of both KFC and MacDonalds. The chinese name for it is "Mai Ken Ji" or something lidat. The menu is apparently the same and stuff. MCD, KFC and Disney better start sue-ing them man. I would be very happy. (I'm such a country-sist.)

I guess I'm too caught up in my job these days to blog..then again, I was never quite a computer user. Haha..
Anyways decided to post a photo or 2 of what my cousins and I were wearing on Chinese New Year this year......Peranakan outfits! i.e Sarong Kebayas =) We all looked very pretty and it was cool to see the younger generation embracing older culture.
Haha the single shot of me which looks abit funny. I guess I don't look as peranakan-y huh. (but i can explain!the kebaya and sarong were huge and I was abit swimming in it cuz they belong to my late mama)
Anyway I went to POSB today while my kids were sleeping and opened a new account...and got a card with it! Omg I have finally gotten my own posb card! Damn loser I know but it's better late (extremely late) than never! At least now I don't hafta bother people to transact money to the blog shop ppl on my behalf cuz I always feel damn bad about it. Honestly speaking, I didn't exactly feel euphoric after holding my card for the first time. I guess it's really not a big deal huh and I know it....
Okayy I'm tired!Goodnight!This Sat is my 4th anniversary with Matt and boy are we making plans!Very excited and happy that we've made it so far=) Lovelovelovehim.
