Every yr, tis time, got to tink of some crafts/cards for the girls to make for their tchers. But got mental block tis yr, dunno wat to make … …

Last nite, went to see see look look at Sq2 and decided to drop-by the angel clay shop. Bot 2 photo frames, but not enough for the kids’ 6 tchers lor. So, decided to buy some clay & moulds to make some crafts at home.

Printed 2 photos and placed inside the frames, tis is how to make yr tchers remember u .

Then it was my playtime … … and did some of these:

Nice? Cute? Still learning … … once i’ve perfected it, then can sell them online liao .

My gym membership is due for renewal tis mth, so I prepared the chq & went to the Gym tis am, tinking of renewing it after my session.

A new member came in today, and he’s in the Committee (as indicated in his card). He was vy friendly and introduced himself b4 getting my name & asking me for my Gym card which he placed it into the display pockets (which we normally dun do lor). Then he continued to chat with me, even when i was running on the treadmill. After a while, he went to do his warm-up.

He came to chat AGAIN after I stopped running, and tis time with advice tt I shd do walking. Then another 2 frens of his came, so i got some peaceful time to do my other workout. But it was shortlived, after his frens left, he watched me doing on the m/chine and then gave advice & instructions AGAIN. After I left, he went to ‘harass’ another member for his Gym card … … he wasn’t there to workout, but to ‘police’ ard.

After the session, I got 2nd thot of renewing the membership since he’s on board as a Committee plus knowing his intention here at the Gym with a 2yr subscription. If I gonna see him regularly in the Gym & with his non-stop chatting, I tink I’m gonna opt out.

Hasn’t learnt not to expose identity in public … …

When u rec’d an email alert, b4 fwd’g it to all your relatives/frens, why not check it out at this site first. Just search using a keyword (eg microwave) and bingo!

This is one way of being a responsible & savvy cyber-citizen so as not to catch the mad cow madness .

Went to watch a-cappella competition last nite. 1st time attending such event and I tink the standard so-so only, but some groups were quite entertaining.

While waiting for the judges’ final decision, the emcee requested for 3 ‘volunteers’ to win a Chinese a-capella CD, and GG was invited on stage.

“What’s yr name?”
“Georgia”
“How old are u?”
“5″
“Do u hv boyfren?”
“No”
“Where are u fr? NUS? NTU? SMU?”
“No”

Then, he went to the other 2 participants before asking them to do vocal percussion, starting with the oldest one on stage. The MC told GG that if she cld do it, then she wld win over a lot of boyfrens and asked if she wanted to get married. GG said, “No.” and the audience roared with laughter.

In the end, she just said “I dun know” and the MC still gave her the CD for her ‘courage’ to go on stage.

As schools celebrate ND today, students were encouraged to wear red & white. While waiting for Ashley, I noticed that not only kids wore the national colors, adults incl maids and babies, regardless of nationality, also donned in red. This seems to get better response than putting the flag outside the flat, as now one can see only a few flags hanging in a block. Initially dun feel the mood of ND, but after this, got mood liao .

Today gonna be a busy day for me as we gonna celebrate ND at Jane’s hse 2mr, and it’s a pot-luck session.

To all, enjoy yr ND!

Toto! Huat Ah!

The girls hv abt 1mth to go for their violin exams, and it’s getting me nervous (& crazy sometimes).

According to the tcher, the newly revised bk is more difficult than previous revision. GG, who is taking Grade1, I’m less worried. But Ashley, who is taking Grade4, it has been tough for both of us. My music knowledge is limited so there’s only up to certain level tt I can help; and I wanna help her as much as possible. It seems that she can’t get the ‘feel’, so the pieces she played are “lifeless” … issit really too difficult, or she’s too young to ‘feel’ them, or what??? How leh? How to breakthru’ leh?

Ytd went to GG’s sch for her project’s open hse. Tis yr topic was ‘Bead’. At first glance, I thot it was ‘Bread’ and wondered why was it the same as last yr, only upon closer look … …

The project started during the June holidays, with a letter to the parents to help the children to learn abt beads. So, I drew up a plan and made arrangement with Ellen (姑姑) to introduce & teach the girls to make costume jewelery with beads. We also went to the library to borrow some beads bks and read & explained to GG.

With all these information & some real beads, I helped & guided GG to compile the project for presentation before Sch re-opened. The teachers then incorporated beads into their daily learning and even organised outing to a handicraft shop for them to make their beads key-chains. So, all their works were on displayed during the open hse and she proudly showed us her crafts.
