To Love My Life

super sleepy now. still have to last till 9pm tonight. though not much many classes. went out in the morning to teach. then came home and head straight out again. helped bro collect his chair. its nice la. but super heavy and difficult to carry. so we tried our best to drag it home. had lunch.

from just now 2.30 till now doing up my cross stitch.. i realli like this picture very much. also already decided who are the characters involved. but the problem is that its quite big. i started i think sunday? or was it saturday? cannot remember. finished about 3/4 of a person only.. hear ah. one person only. i have another 5 more people to go. wonder if i could carry out. though my speed nowadays are faster. but always can either do it in between classes or late at night when i come back. heheehe. so time to do quite short. and i dun realli like doing then after that have to rush out again. so sianz lor.. coming sept i’m going to try to empty away one day for my day. or at least like start teaching early and ends early say 12pm. then till night no class. or prob 6 plus then start class till 10pm like that. in that way i can enjoy longer days without teaching so much. hehee. already discussed with my teacher also. she says i no goal and aims so practicing standard too slow. so target is to have exams next year porb sept. but have to prepare by july. cos AB anyhow allocate time one la. so see how ba.

now the plans to settle the concert thingy. next mon must hand in details i also dunno how sia. have a few students already. the others just sell tickets can le la hor. planned to go settle my gown and baby’s suit next wed. hopefully everything turns out well.

this is the new craze now. i think most of the ppl around me keep on mentioning about it. i think some already own it. so have you got urs? i realli dont see the big fuss about it. its just a super interative phone with functions where you can surf the net. its ridiculours to hear that it will be free if you sign the contract for like $200++ per month. siao la. but can understand those who are gadget-fashioned would realli love to own one. well i know baby would own one. but he say he want iphone just becos he can go mouse hunting. =.=” wat a reason sia. i think its really the same as itouch. which i dun realli see the need too. just a few more months. the fashion would die out. as in whats new you can use from there?? well. its ex la. and my salary is diminishing. so have to save. and its not becos i can’t afford to buy. i have other things more important on list now.

first up. i’m going to TOKYO!!! my dream land wo. kind of la. always wanted to go there for travel. nice nice. but the sad thing is that i’m going with my family. not with baby. sad. he can’t take so many leave cos nov end we going for our small honeymoon. somemore its ex la. but at least my bro gets to go. will take super duper alot of pictures but i dunno what to buy there wo. think its more of sight seeing. but my dad is super good. i always thought other countries like singapore. no need take aeroplane. everywhere the same together one. so i told dad go japan why never go disneyland?? initial plans was to go Hokkaido which is different from Tokyo. and hearing what i’ve said. he went to book tour for Tokyo so we can get to go Tokyo.. good la. hehehee. so the departure is oct 3rd. going to take one week leave. cos its 7 days. hopefuly no ppl complain la. come back then give them back the lessons ba.

second. after the trip come back must prepare for my ROM which is 23rd nov which i think alot of ppl already know. still haven get the ring and gown and the JP yet. ma fan sia. tmr then call better.

third. is my honeymoon!! heehehee. going to cruise with baby. 4 days 3 nights going to penang and phuket. nice nice wo. looking forward to it too.

fourth. come back. will attend my bro’s ROM. his dated is fixed on december somewhere before christmas i think.

fifth. christmas on 25th dec. good la. fun la. thinking maybe organise a christmas gathering with family and some friends.

sixth. New Year 2009. so fast year is coming to the end. time to think whether i have reached 2008 resolutions and to set new ones again. heheee.

seventh. Chinese new year 2009. next year would be early. its around 25 jan i think. cos initially was to go overseas for the chinese new year period. so must think where to have reunion dinner. think think think.

eighth. next occassion nearer would be valentine’s day le. still far la. but have to think early to save money and make plans. heheee. next year we will be busy. super busy. i need to take my exams next year. if not its too laggy le…

so many things and occassions to look forward to. till end of year. its already very exciting le. nice nice.hehehee. fun.. super happy!!

wat do u realli want in order to make your life happy? simple or difficult? comes to think of it. my life is simply very straight forward. wake up teach. eat. teach. then sleep at night. inbetween with TV and some lunch / dinner time with baby onli. weekends seldom have time for him. yesterday he so poor thing. went out early to have photoshoot. then in the afternoon went to do project till about 6plus then reach home. then come home a while only played a bit of COD and i ask him to have dinner. then after that he never play le. cos we were watching Beijing Olympics closing ceremony. finished at 10.30. started watching Zohan. lame funny show. then after that sleep cos by that time it was already 12am le. think he must be very sad cos this weekend for him is packed to the brim. so its like he doesn’t have enough time to play la.

as for me. i’ve finished my ring pillow. dunno whether i mentioned that before. and started on a new group wedding one. its not so big afterall. quite manageable. so shall see when i will finish sewing that. hopefully not very long la. should be able to finish by end of the year la. hehee.. provided i’m not lazy..

one thing i’m truly lazy about these few days is my teaching and my practicing. realli feels like giving up everything and not teach for like one or two years. but i know after that sure cannot pick up anymore one la. is it the kids attitude that i cannot tolerate or i’ve been expecting them to know alot of things. compared to last time i think i’ve lost alot of things. sad. but true. so be it la. until time is here. i shall let go.

幸福可以很简单。我要的幸福，能够满足吗？

went over to find baby last night. and tar bao super sinful dinner. sad. then just after eating. i have a terrible headache. like want to die. so many thoughts came across me. think i watched too many grey’s anatomy. thought like i have some brain tumours. thinking about the lately bad tempered i am. think better go do check up soon. just sianz la. haven go find JP yet. think must call by next week le. if not dunno wheter can find one or not.

 so today took a rest and didn’t have any lessons. hopefully it will go away soon la. sad today can’t go fireworks see see. wanted to go one wo. but then realised my dad’s birthday is today also.. so bo bian gave up the tickets to baby’s sis. hope she enjoys it… heehee.. hope it stops raining also…

heheee. been addicted to this simple mouse hunting on facebook. go start hunting. its fun. actually the game is very easy. just add the application. then choose the cheese and the trap that you want. then just wait. every one hour the system will help you sound the hunter’s horn and they will catch mouse for you.  whether succesful or not. depends on your luck ba. heehe. if not you can choose to on your facebook and click the hunter’s horn every other 15 mins. thats wat i’m doing now. heehee.

 well yesterday only got 2 class then went back old house to have dinner with parents. so long never eat with them. and we’re discussing where to go travel this october. can’t wait la. either taiwan or japan. either is fine with me as long as can travel. too bad baby can’t join us. if not it would be perfect. year end going travel on cruise again. this year should be a good year for me as in i get to travel alot. heheee. haven been reali traveling since sec 1 i think. that time went china with parents. and so today also not much class tag team with another friend as he said. he finish work at 5pm and i start at 5. heheee. 4 lessons to go so not so bad. and then tmr quite pack le. sad

so back to the mouse hunt. so far i caught quite a few difficult to catch mouse. 1 pirate mouse, few dwarf mouse, 2 gold mouse some grey and white mouse and bionic mouse also. got a few more cannot remember the names. shall post the link for pictures here.

Click here to see the mice I’ve caught!!!

 well have to thank baby for introducing this game to me. and he have alot of friends lor. all anyhow add one. but never mind they will help to catch the mice also. heheee.

so yesterday was national day and my bro’s birthday. this year never celebrate his birthday with him. cos think he got his own plans la. so woke up quite early though its a public holiday. like 10 plus. then after that had a small breakfast. prawn noodles bought by baby’s mom. then after that went out to meet friends to cycle. quite fun. its been super duper long since i’ve cycled. but still very fun. met a friend and chit chat. so started around 3pm. and finish quite early. cos it was like going to rain at around 5 plus. so called it a day early. but still fun. then just nice the ppl there is the MJ khakis. so can guess la. went to play mj. two rounds. ended like 12am. late but quite fun. though never lose never win. heehee. i did play cos the other usual Khaki was playing at another place. heehee. ok la. fun fun.

so went home and sleep. morning woke up today to have classes. and one class being cancel. its the holiday mood la. i think. heheee. then after that went for another class.. now back at baby’s house. but he’s out playing mj. wanted to go find him. but never mind la. came home. there are still quite a few things to settle for the wedding. think need to call the solemnizer soon la. heheee. hopefully everything will be smoothly la.

the usual mj khaki. from left: baby, brian, wymond, weizhan, hanze

the group: from left weizhan, hanze, grace, me, baby, brian

the couples: hanze, grace, me, baby

next wed some students taking exams. dunno whether ok or not. they’re prepared. but still a bit worried. just bought back the recent new syllabus of ABRSM. quite a few changes need to go and remembered them if not teach wrongly then jia lat. but one good thing is that the sight reading seems easier now.. good la..

 things need to do is to sleep early everyday.. which i think i can’t seems to adapt la.. heehee.. must work hard to slim down…

i think i just realise if i dun work and stay home. it will be slow days realli. changed my own piano class to alternate weeks thinking that i will be very busy preparing stuff and handling classes. but everytime when i had free time to sit down. i would like slack the time away. practically doing nothing and surfing endless useless net. so that’s me.

 today is kind of wasted. cos i waited at home for the technician to repair my bro’s computer. say timin is from 10 to 2pm. called only like at 2.15pm then reached here just finished repair at about 3pm lor. wanted to go out earlier for my next class to get the new ABRSM books one. now no need go le lor. sianz. at stupid sun plaza yamaha only opens at 1pm on weekdays. sad. think they also no choice la. if not no business also. so now is 3.15pm. cant do much except to wait till time’s up and go out for lessons lor. tonight i think i would have to face a parent asking alot of questions. since i’ve decided to drop. i should be firm about it and dun care. can’t be bothered. now thinking how to drop the other few students that i want to onli.

so now MioTV very smart. came up with a super duper good deal. but i think its a expensive deal la. in september they will have those latest season US drama like the ones i like Grey’s Anatomny, Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money. good leh. i heard it is 24 hours after the US broadcast theirs so its like wat they claimed to be. we dun need to wait 3 to 5 months for it to be aired in starhub. maybe my contract ends i should consider MioTV ah. but starhub cable still have channel 55 that i like. those Hong Kong Drama. super nice. not like those in MioTV. so outdated. so as MioTV subscribers. i finished watching the 9pm show on channel 8. heeheehee. last episode supposed to be this friday but i already know the ending. kind of not really nice ending though. i dun really like. like abit rush through ending. And i thought i would be expecting alot of volleyball or beach volleyball action. they very smart packed everything in the last episode and it looks kind of fake also. heheheee.

talking about shows. Remember Money Not Enough?? The Jack Neo’s Show. it was so surprisingly la. i did watched it in cinema last time i think and its like 10 years AGO!!!! can you imagine that. i watched it when i was 14. becos now MioTV got the special showcase. so me and baby watched it. kind of la. we fast forward abit here and there. rethinking what we’ve watched. everyone inside looks so old fashioned la. heheeee. so its going to be out soon. Money Not Enough 2. hopefully it will be nice. but i think usual one la. laugh lor. laugh at ourselves singaporeans. ugly behaviours and our attitude towards money. wait ba. think going to be out on thursday. then maybe weekend go watch with baby. heheee. poor baby now have to study for exams and do up the assignment. i also dunno how to help cos i dun like to study business stuff. and accounts somemore. though i love maths last time. but now. i think studying music is much more easier.

heeheee… as many have known…. he popped the question… should have guess wat question right??? hehehee..

last night 15 july 2008… we went out to celebrate our 8th year anniversary dinner… so dressed up nicely and he even bought a new shirt.. ehhee… so planned to go singapore flyer… reached there and it was already at night.. so we could only watch the night view… a bit borring though.. cos can’t realli see alot of things la.. took a few pictures there.. quite nice….

so the start of the singapore flyer ride… ok la.. with few other ppl… so the whole story goes like this… reached the car park and baby took out a SK jewellery bag from the back of his car… saying that its my presents… i was expecting the ring inside cos i was kind of expecting his proposal but not too sure whether he was ready becos i didn’t discuss with him before hand for quite some time.. didn’t want to pressure him la… so went on the singapore flyer and starting snapping away..and we were saying that we should exchange our presents at the top of the flyer…

so reaching the top of the flyer already i took out his present.. i think he should have guess la… wanted to get him a watch cos he always like to have watches…. got him a white one this time but i think its kind of a little girly… and i think he’s ok with it but not totally love it… but never mind… cos he will always not mind wat i give him one.. i did told him can exchange and today is the last day.. but he say no need… he’s like that one.. scare i ma fan.. heheehe…. so he took out from the SK jewellery bag and pass me the present and ask me to open myself… there i was like.. “huh… why open myself??” so i think its not the ring la… so i open the box and saw a small nice pedant necklace that he bought.. it looks quite nice like a treble clef but its not la.. and like wat he say… its simple but difficult.. funny la.. the word he wanted to say is simple but complicated still… funny guy.. ehehehe….. so we took pictures with our presents.. heheee

this is wat i bought for the anniversary… a white simple dress, with a nice pinky necklace and one white bangle to add on to the touch of the whiteness i’m having.. too bad cannot see the shoes.. its white also… baby bought for me last time one… and i boght some makeup to make myself pretty of course…. and i dyed my hair black again… so i spent quite alot on this anni.. but its typical me la…. buying things to pamper myself for celebrations.. heheheee…

that’s happy us… after the exchange of the presents… waiting for the time to end and pass and reach the ground and head for dinner.. becos i was hungry already…. so i was already thinking to myself.. i think tonight no proposal le la… so be it lor… didn’t put it into heart already cos i think he’s still not ready for it… heheehe

so afterwhich we headed to our restaurant place.. very nice place… but super expensive food… not too bad la the food.. but it was too long waiting for the food… so first up reaching there we placed our order… were totally shock by the price of the food sia… the steak cost like $47 lor…. my chicken and mushroom crepe cost like $32.. but already there so never mind la… . we order one appetizer first… something wat duck breast with honey apple something one.. then after the order i gave baby another present.. hahaa.. i bought two watches for him…. cos i scare the white one very girly but i like it myself very much…. that’s y girly la.. hehehee… so i bought him one analog and one digital… he likes the digital one better.. can see one la… very nice.. here he’s posing with two watches.. ehhee…. but i realise this morning he wore the black one out to work.. hahaa… maybe becos its more easy to see time also…

so after the exchange of the presents…. he say.. “dunno should change my steak to medium well or not… scare medium cannot bite..” so there he goes and change his order… and then he was talking to the lady and asking about the desserts.. funny la.. he say he only go there ask about the steak then the girl tell her want to order desserts or not…. the girl say need time to prepare desserts so ask him to order first… he came and ask him.. i tell him say.. later then order ba.. scare later eat till too full ma…. but then he came back to the table later saying the girl say should try the special dessert… cost $20 to $30 plus leh.. crazy lor.. then i ask him what kind of dessert is that sia…. then he say bo bian leh.. the girl say nice should try… then i say ok lor…. after a while he went over to the girl again..and came back saying that the girl showed him the ingredients of the dessert.. all looks super weird…. got wat olive inside one.. i was like “u sure u still want to eat ah”… but luckily he told me that he say dun want.. but wat comes after next so funny lor… he say the girl then ask him whether want try another one… he just say “ermm… okay lor…” i was like.. huh… alamak just tell her say dun want la… so ex somemore i was worried that we cannot finish and not worth eating such an expensive desserts.. desserts leh..i think i go eat like macdonald mcflurry also nicer lor… he say think he cancel le la… so we wait for our food..

it was a long wait.. i think like wat baby say they pay more attention to quality then quantity.. so like take their own sweet time and make the things… so first up was the appetizer we ordered…. the duck breast.. i started to eat one… it was very nice… so i took another piece to eat….. and when i was about to eat another one.. the plate no more meat le lor… then i look at baby and said “alamak… you eat all already?” so he asked me how many pieces i ate.. i say i only eat two… then he started laughing….. “i was too engrossed thinking whether i cancel the dessert already not… so i didn’t pay attention to wat i eating…” i was like….so sad.. becos the food is realli nice.. but it cost $25 and i only ate 2 pieces… ok la.. all in all they only give about 6 pieces or 5 pieces i think…. so sweet baby say ok la.. order one more for u lor…. so i suggested eating escargots instead… so ordered and waited again… the wait in between the food was like quite long la… got tired of waiting but luckily we were happily chit chating and blaming him eating the meat so fast… so i got one extra escargots in the end.. hehehehee…. nice nice….

waited for our main course is like waiting forever to sleep la.. i think we only started eating at like 9 plus going to 10pm…. it was late already lor… then finally the food came… it was nice.. but tends to be a bit salty though.. but still not too bad la.. stole some of baby food…. he also very smart… i gave him a portion of mine.. and straight away he saw through saying back “you dun think you give me food i will give you the steak hor…” shitsss….. so i just keep quiet and act like “no la.. i cannot finish so let you eat a bit..” think if he read this again he sure will laugh one.. ehehhee…  so finished our main course moments later… think too hungry la… its like before that eat the appetizer and drink lots of water.. so in the end quite fulll cannot finish my main course by a fair bit on the plate…

so finished le want to go off le… baby still worried he haven cancel the dessert order.. so i asked the staff to check and they never get back lor… went toilet to touch up and thought maybe can take picture after that..came out and i saw new plates on the table…. baby say. they never cancel the order wo….. i was like “huh.. so full already… i’m already on the verge of puking out my food le la…” that’s how full i was…. so he say never mind lor…. just eat lor… i can’t imagine ourselves eating something like that cost $30 plus lor….

then the dessert came…. he said something about special ingredients so i look and see.. ok leh… probably they change for us a normal one. it was a chocolate cake with melted chocolate inside.. it was nice la… so when i wanted to take the fork and eat….. there i saw something not right…. i saw a RING on top of it….. the moment i saw it i was like super surprised… and i just cried… couldn’t help crying becos i was like.. “alamak… i thought no proposal already and there you are proposing to me now…. ” so i just kept on crying and baby also dunno what to say… i remember him taking up the ring and asking….. “so would you marry me??” heehee…. i sure will one la silly boy…. but i was crying and crying and didn’t say anything…. baby asked me not to cry le la.. and so i took out my hand and he slipped into my finger thinking whether it will be the correct size.. ehheheee…. he got it right of course… i was super touched by wat he did and totally unexpected that he will do that… he did asked me…”were u expecting this?/” i replied “of course not…i’ve already gave up hope at the singapore flyer…” hehehee…. it was good he’s very happy with my reactions cos he succeeded in surprising me.. ehheehe….. and so after the ring was worn… the staff was clapping at the bar counter… so pai seh lor.. ehehehe…. but definitely worth it… so we continuing eating the so called “special ingredients” desserts… and i asked him back… so is it true that the dessert u initially ordered got olive inside??? he just keep on laughing… heehheee… can’t believe i take his words for real and its realli good when you dun expect anything at all.. heheehee.. u get a better surprise….

so all along the staff know what is going on lor… hehehee…. i still thought he very ma fan make so many trips to talk to the staff about the desserts.. funny to think back..everyone has a story right???? that’s the dessert that the ring was put on… and that’s me with watery eyes after crying.. luckily never smudge alot of my make up.. ehehe.eee…. and poor baby was saying that he kept the ring in his pockets kept on checking all night thinking whether it is still there or not… realli thanks alot baby for the wonderful surprise and thanks for taking the step out to promise something for the future… i realli love you alot… though i’m super unreasonable at times.. hehehee.. the staff helped us took some pictures and they congragulate me.. heheeee….

so finished the dessert and headed home…. heheee… thanks johnnie for suggesting all the nice places to eat… and thanks bene for giving him the idea… and thanks to all who have gave their wishes to me and him…heheheee…so i can call him… my hubby… hheeee…

end of our proposal story but start of a wonderful future together…

this past few days being resting… cause not feeling too well enough to teach… but yesterday went over to friend’s place to help her celebrate her doggie’s birthday… well.. at first thought quite a few dogs going one… sad.. end up only we brought Lassi along… then my friend’s dog very fierce.. so didn’t realli play with lassi… and poor baby keep on have to look after lassi becos scare he anyhow pee and lassi also scare of the other dog… but he didn’t realli like the cake.. hahaa…. he’s a meat lover i guess… got meat ball… then he eat until very happy… heheee..

so managed to help bro make his computer also…. had problems and baby is very sweet… he helped me bring back to make everthing nice nice… guess its my bad luck la… or maybe its my bro’s…. he’s sick..handphone spoil… computer spoil…monitor also spoil…. ram buy le also spoil… windows CD original one also spoil.. maybe he offended ppl la.. .ehehehe…. but everything is going to be back to normal.. cos his handphone is sent for repair..luckily the ram can exchange for new one..  computer is up and running….and i called up samsung to ask ppl come down and take a look at the monitor.. still under warranty.. so no problem of getting it changed… i hope… and he’s recovering just not much voice onli.. ehhehee… so take care my bro… maybe can try “Beat small ppl”

tmr is a short and small celebration for me and baby.. cos its our 8 years anniversary.. good la…. it’s the start of 8 years and hopefully its realli a good year for us… past had been good… but i want future to be better.. who doesn’t right??? so not much plans as to where to go yet… but i got him presents le…. i think he still haven buy my present…. always last min.. but can’t say him la.. i also last min last min.. today then buy the presents…. shalll upload my pictures after our celebration…

tonight fetching baby after his classes… ehhehee.. i always like to do things for him…sometimes maybe not la… maybe i shall just apply for a job as his PA (personal assistant) can le la… then ask him sponsor all my expenses and shopping… like that good le lor.. i think be his PA already alot of things to help him settle le.. the most important and tedious one is to be his reminder… keep on reminding him wat to do all those.. cos he’s a super forgetful person.. ehehheee…..

so ya… for tmr’s celebration.. i dyed my hair.. hehee…. super black.. well… too many colours previously.. spoilt my hair le.. so hair stylist suggested dyeing back black then next time then dye bright colour if i want…. i think the very last time i had black hair was like the year 2006 end… within about 2 years.. i dyed my hair like 3 or 4 times i think??? i tried red. i tired dark brown and i tried light brown i think.. or was it only 2 times?? watever it is.. i’m now a super black girl… heheee… hopefully its alright after the colour fades out… she said it will becomes dark brown… but will have two tones.. cos my roots are black….

so looking forward to tmr’s celebration… hope it will be fun… and nice.. and good memories…
