[ wElcOMe tO thE 23 cluB ]

I OFFICIALLY WELCOMED MYSELF TO THE 23 CLUB! yup! That will be right.. I hit 23 on 10 November 2006.. cheers.. =)

I didnt really celebrated my birthday this year.. I am beginning to develop a phobia of aging.. wahaha.. nah.. I am still young! yeah!

Went out with Wayne, Yuan and Maggie on thursday after work.. mainly to catch up with one another.. havent seen them for quite some time.. had been busy counting money in my account (LIKE REAL).. haha.. Yuan and I decided to go to Holland Village for dinner.. the rest of us (exlucding Wayne.. she was on her way from Simei) met up at ard 7.30pm.. I suggested gng to Delifrance.. because I wanted to try the beef lasagna that CK took the other time when we went out.. so the three of us took our orders and waited for Wayne to arrive before tucking in.. we waited and waited and waited.. n she was still on her way.. decided to give her a call to find out her location.. she replied that she was at Jurong and would arrive in ten minutes.. WE DIDNT BELIEVE HER.. so took a bet of S$10.00.. and indeed after ten minutes.. she rang us up to tell us that she had reached and couldnt find us.. huh.. but we didnt see her anywhere.. and WE TOLD HER WE ARE UPSTAIRS.. and SHE TOLD US WEST MALL DELIFRANCE WHERE GOT UPSTAIRS.. huh? huh? huh? WE WERE AT HOLLAND VILLAGE.. big mistake.. we found out that all of us presumed that the location was kept at West Mall where the three of us usually met up.. and neither Yuan or I had informed Wayne the change of location to Holland Village.. what had i learnt? ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL FUCKERS!

The Beef Lasagna

We started eating while waiting for her to come over and ordered food for her as well.. tried to cheer her up when she arrived.. hee.. good thing she wasnt really pissed off.. **heng heng**.. and she was so sweet.. she bought me a PINK PIGGY handphone holder.. erm.. I think it was part of her revenge plan when she saw that I gave her a set of PINK mouse pad and wrist rest for Chirstmas last year.. wahaha.. and even the CARD was in PINK!!! but I LOVE THEM ALL THE SAME! I LOVE PINK! wahaha.. cheers.. =)

Me with Wayne's present

After dinner.. Yuan and I grilled her for the lastest update on her L. life.. wahha.. interesting.. she is always full of suprises! hee.. I wish her all the best! **jia you** CK arrived shortly after work.. the chit-chat session continued for another hour or so before we were 'dismissed' to go HOME! wahaha.. I then accompanied CK to take his dinner at Crystal Jade.. poor boy.. he must be starving.. thanks dear.. **muacks**

------------------------------------------------------------------

On 10th Novemeber 2006.. I turned 23.. I gave myself a good treat after work.. which costed me S$121.16.. wahaha.. but I ENJOYED IT! cheers.. met up with CK after his class.. decided to drive over to Sentosa to celebrate my birthday.. THIS TIME AROUND.. WE PAID S$6.00 to go in.. but I rem the other night when we drove in with Marcus and Joelle.. it was FREE!! so I asked the lady behind the counter and she replied that the charge are applicable 24 hours.. huh? that means we must be FREAKING heng that night to go in FREE! wahaha.. stopped the car at Pink Dolphin Lagoon's carpark to cut the cake.. my second cake.. I LOVE CAKES! but CK said it is unauspicious to blow candles twice as I has done it at 1929).. thus we only could sing the birthday song and cut the cake.. he got me a fruitty cake from Bengawan Solo.. we shared a slice of vanilla sponge cake and the HAPPY MEAL that I got for him.. I chose the combi of MacNuggets.. Corn Cup and Apple Juice (MY FAV).. I was worried that he might be hungry after class.. it was just a simple celebration that warm my heart.. thank you be!

My Fruitty Cake.. **yum yum**

I attended Joshua's bd bash at MacDonald's (Tanglin Mall) last sunday (5th Nov).. that implies I met up my class's parents and their beloved children on a non-working day (SUNDAY).. and i was LATE (as usual).. haha.. the party had already begun when i reached there.. gave an excuse that i cant find a parking lot.. wahaha..

Donovan & Claudia & Joshua

Birthday Boy (Joshua) & I

And I realised that my class was actually HAPPY to see me on a SUNDAY.. i dun understand y at all.. they came foward and greeted me when they saw me.. and turned to tell their friends that I had arrived.. huh? kids is the only answer that I could find.. but I was very sure that they had great fun playing the games.. I cant really understand the meaning of the games at all.. I supposed they were meant to entertain the children.. one game requires the two groups of children to change one of their friend into the MacDonald's uniform.. and the winner would be the first one who got dressed.. (NOTE: THE UNIFORM IS ADULT SIZE.. AND MY CHILDREN ARE ALL 4 YEARS OLD).. well.. once again.. I HAPPILY presumed that it was all for the sake of FUN!

The children were playing games!

Matilda & I at the Party

MUM MUM TIME!! the children rushed back to their seats and waited to be served.. of course they WERE JUBILANT.. anyone would be.. they could choose MacNuggets or Fish Dippers for the main course.. the French Fries or Corn Cup or Apple Dippers for side orders and Milk (NO ONE CHOOSE THAT) or Apple Juice or Milo for drinks.. wow.. they were SO SO SO HAPPY.. wahaha.. and of course I HELPED them.. went over to volunteer my professional services to the parents.. settled the children down and prepared the sauces for them.. I felt that I WAS WORKING!

The children were having a BALL!

TIME TO CUT THE CAKE! the lights went off and the MacDonald's crew played the birthday song and brought the cake in.. the children were so excited.. jumping up and down in joy.. screaming their heads off.. and well.. being the TEACHER.. my threshold of noise is unreasonably low.. so I SAID [ALRIGHT[.. and there was SLIENCE.. no one said anything after that.. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED.. however the parents were so amazed with the magic word that work on their children.. **grin**


PR with my parents as well.. talked abt next year placement.. their children's developement.. current issues.. and disciplinary problems.. saw a different side of them while they WERE NOT in school.. more relaxed.. more easy-going.. more approachable.. and Claudia (Joshua's mum) joked with me.. asked me how did I manage to handle all of them every day.. haha.. and to serve them 3 times a day (morning snack + lnuch + afternoon snack).. I dunno.. part of my work i guess.. cheers..


Left shortly after that.. need to pick up my parents for dinner.. I guess Joshua LOVE the birthday present that I chose for him.. it was a Thomas & Friends' Bag.. because he brought it to school on Tuesday.. wahaha.. cheers.. =)

--------------------------------------------------

I brought the Violets out on 9th Nov 2006 to watch a play [A Year with Frog and Toad] at Singapore National Libray.. it was a production by Players Theatre and held at the Black Box.. I guess they had enjoyed the show more or less.. just that some of them complained that the show was too long.. I dun deny for a 4 years old to sit still for an hour can indeed be a challenge.. that explained my kids DANCING and SINGING at the first row during the show.. I nearly wanted to walk out of the theatre with a brown paper bag on my head.. argh..

For myself.. I LOVE the play.. or rather I had always enjoyed musicals, stage performances and plays.. so IT was totally awesome for me.. the songs were rather catchy and my kids are humming some of the lyrics the following day when they returned to school.. a recommedation for my friends who are interested in such production.. took some photos of the children during the journey there.. I love all these SHOTS.. super well-taken by ME! cheers!
