… to blog (hee hee). It’s been awhile. Zhihua says my blog has 8000+ hits per month, but guess 7900+ are my own clicks, the other 100+ hits are those ads spam selling fake pills. Still, appreciate students coming up to me asking me to update.
March is probably the busier month with exam processing, supp processing etc. Managed to steal time to have breakki with Yee Fen and see ex-colleagues. It was a warm fuzzy feeling and it feels like going home, so much so that I even ate Yee Fen’s share of nasi. She said it’s not coz i was hungry, rather it was the “happy feeling” to be back at ITE. She was right. Been thinking about my grand plan (of going back), my life goals (if any), my career etc… my lil miserable life.
My bandage reminded me of Jacko or Cyndi Lauper, so 80s.
Discouragment and encouragement
I spent quite a lot of time on the characters but the idea was rejected (without notification again). Nevermind, I shall work harder. But sometimes it makes me think how many rejections a person (or I) can take.
Anyways, I prayed for a good message today on the way to church and He answered my prayer. I didn’t even sleep during the service and even jotted down notes. A comment someone left on my blog some time back was flashed on the screen…
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22
So, i shall stay focused, be encouraged and bring blessings to the people around me. Of course, i must pray and ask that my potential be maximised. Let me find my potential first.
My annual pilgrimmage
Arrived in HK super-hyped up. Eat-walk-shop, eat-walk-shop. Cec was kind enough to stay up to translate the Jap menu for me… her funny lil ways.
Went macau and stuffed ourselves with pork chop bun, egg tarts, milk pudding. The landscape has changed but memories will stay.
People and their weird sense of fashion. Strike a pose… let me try…
Maggie met Sogo for the first time coz Sogo never thought it was a good idea to get to know cec’s friends. But I was the exception. Before i left, cec told me, “Tess, treat yourself better and be happyâ€.
Post HK
Cherry’s bade was a blast, joined in by a group of super-duper nice students. Raymond told me the story of guy A, guy B and guy C with girl A. Mmm… this thing called love.
Went for One-Man Star Wars with Andrew and his 501st pals. An hour for all three Episodes 4, 5, 6. It was amazing how he could entertain with no costume or props.
ZhiHua’s wedding
A very nice reception but a pity i missed the morning tea session coz i overslept. Missed my ang pow too. Back at Zhihua’s suite, he gave us a “speechâ€, thanking us and telling us how important friends are to him. Friends are important to me too. After that, he was off to Maldives for his honeymoon; ma er dai fu – the island that Mcdull wanted to go.
Forrest aka Ah Bui
Forrest has been growing bigger and lazier. Some say i’m abusing him seeing the way i irritate him when he’s asleep, or turn him over and smack his stomach. We just get at each other whenever there’s a chance… haha.
He would meow for half an hour from the moment i get home 1-0.
I make him exercise at the scratch pole 1-1.
I would tickle him 1-2
… until he bites and scratch me, 2-2.
I would wake him up when he’s asleep 2 -3
He would wake me up when i am asleep 3-3.
So we are fair and square…
Misc
Cec gave me a bag of Mcdull stuff that she collected over the months… sweet.
Wii Wii … Wee Wee… enuff said.
It’s quite funny how when i told my mom that i wanted to enter the Singapore Sudoku Challenge (and try to win $100000), her reaction was … *silence and burst in laughter. Aiya… it’s like when i told the folks I am refraining from drinking too much coz i had to attend church the next day… the whole table’s reaction was… “*burst in laughter… Please la… dun lie la… u christian meh?â€
Maybe I just don’t look credible enuff or I look superficial …
Had to do some “song and dance†last week when the sec school students came over; Mark and Mike were everything a team member could ask for, not forgetting my bunch of students who showed the 100 students the IMI power 
Went for the class bbq and the perks of being a lecturer… gets served first (maybe i was just the tester to see if the wings were cooked), gets massaged by my lil Dian…
Getting ready for the new semester. I’m so spoilt now that i’m staying at thomson on alternate days, coz i would be waking up pretty late to go to school. And it’s more accessible for friends to come find me for supper.
