4:11 am, Dec 18 2007. This marks a great moment- the completion of the game "The Sims 2: Castaway" on my Nintendo DS!!!! After 49 hours 13 mins of play...Yes!!! I finally conquered this game!!! My eyes are now bleary, and I think I'm seeing double images... but all these in exchange for this moment... IT'S WORTH IT!! haha! ZY says I've gone...
Just came back from our Malacca trip. Our initial holiday plan was to visit to Hong Kong with Ch, then it was changed to Perth (coz ZY was concerned of the air and water pollutions at HK), then to Bangkok (coz it's not worth paying so much tax to go Perth for just 1 week), then to Bintan (coz Thailand will be having...
My latest additions to my "toy" collection *clap clap*: 1. Nintendo DS Lite Actually, ZY bought it 1st.. then after I bought the New Super Mario Bros game... I became hooked to this!! Ended up hogging ZY's DS so much that he suggested maybe I should just get one myself! Haha... well not a bad idea after all! So, I bought another set......
It's been a long time since I post anything here, or blog about Ch. Hopefully, now that my school hols have officially started, I can have more time to blog. Been missing this leisure activity actually. ZY and I noticed that over these few weeks, Ch seem to have blossomed into a more mature little girl. My friend, Cuiwei, commented that she seems...
Saw this video during a meeting for the Lower Sec Sci coordinators. Very interesting as it challenges me as a teacher. It also serves as a timely reminder for my purpose in entering this profession. What can/do I teach my students to cope with the real world? ...
ZY's on night shift tonight, and I left Ch with my mil so that I can concentrate on marking my Prelim exam scripts. Listening to class 95, I hear this song- Love Me. It's one of my favourite songs, and it never fails to get me emotional (very often, ending up with tears in my eyes) when I listen to it. Such beautiful...
Recently, Ch realised that there are food more delicious than porridge and noodles... BBQ chicken wings!! She had her 1st taste about 3 weeks ago. Gave a "hmm.. DELICIOUS!" comment, and thereafter, she had one every weekend! haha! Look at her oily hands from handling the chicken wing! ...
This short conversation took place a while ago when ZY carried Ch. ZY: Charlene, have you grown taller? Ch: No, I am still short enough. ZY: Are you sure? Have you grown taller? Ch: I am still short enough. My hair has grown longer. ZY: Yes, but are you taller now? Ch: Er.. no... yes.. no... Ch: I am taller now... because you...
A church friend (Zelda) gave me this idea of getting Ch to "type" a blog entry here. Haha... What a great suggestion! So, I gave Ch the laptop and told her to type something... also got her to find letters of the alphabet (starting from A, then B and so on) using the keyboard, though she didn't do very well at identifying some...
We had a complimentary voucher for a one night stay at Hotel Intercontinental on the 29th June this year. A funny incident happened that day. We celebrated the NCC day so all the NCC teachers and cadets had to wear our NCC uniforms. As I didn't have time to change out of the uniform, I wore it to the hotel. Though we checked...

We celebrated our nation's birthday on 9th August. Though we didn't have any tickets for the NDP, we made it a point to wear red on that day. Charlene and I even put on tattoo stickers on our arms. See hers? It reads "Made in Singapore". In the evening, we tuned in to the live telecast of the National Day Parade, and Ch...
I feel so lousy. I spanked Ch today. And shouted at her. I did an action that shocked me too... I held her shoulders and shook her hard while scolding her. All these happened as she behaved badly today. And it didn't happen just once or twice. It went on almost the whole day today. It started when we brought her to a...
Camp briefing on the first day when we reached. To dear D (Chee), and Agl: thank you for encouraging us to go for this family camp. We enjoyed ourselves very much and learnt alot. My spiritual relationship with God has also been strengthened. In brief, our church camp was held between 10 to 13 Jun 07. Initially, we decided not to go coz...
Have gone back to work for 2 weeks, and surprisingly, I didn't/ haven't had any "withdrawal symptoms" from being SAHM for the past 5 months. Life just went on as before I took my no pay leave. The familiar shoulder aches from leaning over to mark worksheets and planing lessons using the ibook, the accumulated tiredness over the week and the no-time-to-tidy-house habit...
In one of the episodes of the Little Einsteins, Quincy played the violin to help in a mission. Ch noticed how it was done and during lunch that day, she took her chopsticks and pretended to play the violin!I didn't really know what she was doing then, but she mouthed softly "Just like Quincy!". It was then that I realised what she was...
This song was sung in Ch's Gymboree class. It's actually a song from the Barney show (that's what I heard from the teachers in Gymboree), and Ch loves it. Though I don't know how to sing the song, Ch'll always pester me to sing it. I only know the 1st line of the first stanza, but that's enough to satisfy little Ch, and...
Ch is promoted to the Level 5 Gymboree class for toddlers between 22 to 28mo. For her first Level 5 class last Wed, Ch wasn't very willing to participate in the activities as it was mainly pretend play. Heard from the teacher that for these coming 2 weeks , the theme will be on Firefighters. For this lesson, the children were brought around...
