Bothered...

Was having lunch in the canteen when a P1 student's guardian came to look for me. She asked whether did I ever scold her granddaughter in class with remarks like "stupid and being transparent" which I never did. I find it ridiculous that the child told the grandmother that I did that. My whole class of students can be my witnesses. Next the office told me that the VP wants to see me. She wants to know my side of the story after hearing the complaint from the grandmother. The P was there too and they said that when I observed that the girl is weak in the subject, why didn't I contact the caregiver? I did contact the girl's mother before and I did asked the girl if her mother coach her in her work, but obviously, this is not enough.

I feel so wronged and it's my words against the girl and her grandmother. I told the VP that she can check with the other students in class as I don't even scold the girl when she fail to hand in her homework. During lessons, I asked the girl if I've ever scolded her and she shook her head and said no. I told her that because she told her grandmother I said those remarks, she went to complain and the P and VP misunderstands me. I wrote a note in her student diary to inform the grandmother that the girl already confirmed that I've never scolded her before. Felt so awful for the rest of the day...

Luckily at night, Teddy came to comfort me...we went to East Coast Food Centre for stingray, satay and teh tarik. He gave me the Chloe Perfume which he bought and assured me that it's not my fault that things turn out this way. I really feel so unlucky that this year I faced so many problems at work.

Celebrations

Yesterday, went to his relative's house to celebrate his maternal grandmother's 82nd birthday. Spent the whole day there, playing Monopoly Deal and seeing them play Mahjong...Jason's mum said that I have to pick up Mahjong as it's their family culture to play it during gatherings...Jason said I won't be able to learn as my Maths is so poor...-__-

Checked my mini "warehouse", the metal cabinet at my workstation for the Children's Day gifts...bought quite alot last year so I still have enough to last me till next year...haha...no need to buy anymore for this year. Will have enough stationery to give to my 3 classes. Stock-taking was fun cos it's been awhile and kinda forgot what I bought before. The cute stationery will hopefully be to their liking. At least this October, no need to splurge on gifts...this coming Sat will be having my birthday lunch treat with my parents and Jason. Will be having Japanese food...looking forward to it...yummy!

Season for 清汤

Lately I think I've become addicted to 清汤. It's not like my teh tarik cravings have gone into hiding but I think the 清汤 sold near to Teddy's place is "addictive". It's a Teochew dessert...Will go and get a few boxes for his family and mine after work later...清汤 countdown... 4.5 hours...

睁一只眼，闭一只眼...feeling vexed...

Last night after visiting Teddy and feeling better knowing that his ankle is getting better, had a long chat with his mum as she kindly offered to send me home. Happens that we are quite 投缘, can communicate quite well. I suppose at home, her boys don't really talk much with her. Something auntie mentioned that I totally agree: 结婚前，眼睛要睁大一点；结婚后，要闭一只眼。

Got to know from facebook that one of my sec sch netball friend got married last year and is expecting her baby girl to be delivered either today or tomorrow. Quite happy for her, seems like a lot of my friends who have gotten married are expecting their first borns this year. All the little tiggers...=) Left a message on her blog, think she'll only read it after her delivery.

Everytime after my morning lessons, I feel quite vexed and even dejected sometimes. Seems like I have to raise my voice at them before they quieten down for that few minutes. I can't seem to convince them to focus and do well for their own good. I just feel like hiding in the safety of Teddy's hug right now. Too bad my work doesn't allow me to just apply for half-day leave as and when I feel there's a need to...maybe now the time is not a need but emotionally I feel drained. I think I face "blood-suckers" every day. Luckily, my younger ones in the afternoon are mostly angels. Their cute innocent faces and cheerful laughters also give me much comfort.

Maybe I should also get married and then become pregnant, then I have a valid reason to apply for no-pay leave...haha...wistful thinking...(>.<)

New Meiji snacks

Went to Suntec Carrefour with Teddy on Saturday. Managed to find new meiji snacks. Always like to see what meiji has to offer from Japan as I find their packaging very cute and attractive and the snacks are quite interesting.

Bought the "Lucky Stick" that is cappuccino flavoured cream. The smell is very nice and the stick tastes good. Found another snack that you need to make on your own. It's called Taiyaki gummy. Have to add water then the ingredients in the packet. Will take a photo of the instructions tomorrow. =)

“夜来香”清汤

Had a relatively busy weekend, Sat morning went for 18 degrees meeting. Changed group from Creative group to Writing group. Went to visit Teddy as he is still in a little pain after the wisdom teeth extraction. He sent me to Plaza Singapura for piano then headed for his JC friend's wedding solemnization. After my piano lesson, met him and his friends at Marina Mandarin. We went to Suntec's Souperlicious for dinner as he is still on soft diet. It was a pity he couldn't join the wedding dinner. Went to fetch his parents after dinner as they got back from Malaysia.

Sunday, went for dim sum at Tak Po at Smith Street with parents, grandma and Teddy. His ankle was aching and had to apply the ointment I got him last time. We went to a warehouse sale with dorothy perkins, topshop and other apparels but most of the sizes don't fit. Quite disappointing. Went to buy “夜来香”清汤 near his place to comfort myself for missing the retail therapy. Tried the Tom Yum soup at Jalan Kayu...too spicy...next time cannot order.

Long dream

Last night, I dreamt that I went to Malaysia with my parents, sis and Teddy. Somehow, I was attending a seminar and after that, I left Teddy at a bookstore. My 5th Aunt went to fetch Teddy back. In reality, my 5th aunt can't drive.
After that, we went to an indoor theme park. The place was quite big and I couldn't locate Teddy. Then my parents called me on my handphone as they were separated from me as well. I remembered seeing my colleagues at the theme park too. I couldn't find my parents even after they gave me directions, in the end, had to get a staff to hear where they were and then I was woken up by the alarm. So weird...

The hunt of the sugarbunnies

Was skyping with sis and mentioned to her that Mcdonalds is having sugarbunnies for Happy meal toy...she said that she wants the white and brown bunny so have to look for her. At the outlet near my workplace, they only have the brown and pink bunny. I managed to collect the whole set for myself but was still lacking in the white bunny for sis.

Teddy came to pick me up after work as he went to the dentist before that. His wisdom teeth were causing discomfort, so he had to go for a dental visit. He will be operated on tomorrow. Hope he won't fall sick after that. Got a few friends who went for wisdom teeth removal last time and they had fever after the operation.

We went to Marina Square and managed to get tickets for "Love Cuts". Thought that the timing was quite unfair for the movie, for most cinemas, the timing was around 6+pm or 7pm. Most people working won't be able to catch that. We had dinner at Just Asia as after buying the movie tickets, we were given a 1 for 1 coupon at the restaurant. Checked Marina Square's Mcdonalds for the white sugarbunny, but it's sold out already. After the movie, we went to West Coast Park Mcdonalds, Lot 1 and Siglap Centre to look for the white sugarbunny. It was only after much searching, we found it at Siglap Centre. Finally, don't have to eat another Happy meal to get the toy.

A friend acted as a GP in "Love Cuts", quite surprise to see him acting in the movie. Thought that the movie wasn't as draggy as described in a movie review. Teared up at certain points of the movie. The voice-over for the supporting actress sounded a little weird. Think they did it in Taiwan. Quite a meaningful movie.

Kbox session

Met up with Jason's friends in Ang Mo Kio Central to go to Kbox for singing session. We went around 1pm and sang till 630pm. Been quite awhile since I last went to ktv so had a good time singing with them. Teddy sang a Chinese song that I've never heard before, 《求佛》, quite interesting...haha.
We went to Far East to eat Indonesian food and went window-shopping. After sending them home, Teddy sent me back. He was quite tired from all the driving around...

Catch up with JC gals

Met up with Jo and Chat at Clarke Quay Central with Jason for lunch at Sun with Moon. Got a pleasant surprise when I saw Jo pregnant...didn't know she was till I saw her. Chat is also pregnant but her baby is due next year. Coincidentally, Chat's hubby is called Jason too. =)

病了。。。

可能是因为今天为了送机 （妹妹到武汉5个月），很早就起身，不够睡，到了大约两点多，开始头疼。过后，就很不舒服。回家不久，就吐了。很少会吐，所以很不喜欢这种感觉。吃了一颗头痛药，然后小睡了一下。吃饱晚饭后，又去休息。J 下班后，不放心，就过来看我怎样了。大约九点，又吐了。J 决定带我去看医生。因为已经晚了，所以只有24小时的诊所有开。他送我回家，看我吃了药才离开。
