i went to canada 2 weeks after my previous post, i stayed there for 2 weeks and it’s been about 2 weeks since i came back… so i thought i had better write before my birthday month ends.
It was an eye opener for me to be able to attend the worldskills event in calgary… i was part of the entourage and most of the time, i would be just hanging around… taking pics of unsuspecting victims.
The sian part: shops closes at 6pm, so no food nor shopping. I had to eat cookies taken from the competition and leftover breakfast. Andrew and i would hit the gym at nights coz we found that we can watch tv and admire the night scenary.
Deprived of shopping and food, our precious day off was spent with my relatives who drove us to Drumheller’s Royal Tyrrell Meusem. The badland landscape just made all my Geography studies come alive.
My relative made me wear socks due to the cold weather… which somehow made me look like michael jackson.
Some of the things i bought during my short shopping spree at a mall… i know… i must appeared like a compulsive gambler with those polka chips.
During teacher’s day, students messaged me and it had a warm fuzzy feeling when you are in a foreign land all alone… with only cookies to eat…
Shavonne made scones and left me a note on my table. Thanks dear.
Received a sms that made my hear sank… “hi sweet, my father passed away”…
After i came home, Ah bui has expanded his territory and his schedule goes something like :
7am: wake my human up to feed me
8am: go kitchen and asked the other human to feed me
9am to 3pm: laze around
3 - 6pm: go garden and catch some birds and lizards
7pm: go ask any human for food
9pm: my human comes back
10pm - 7am: sleep with my human
Platforms!!!
I waited 10 years for the revival of the platform shoes so i could be taller (by at least 2 inches). My bdae presents also started coming in…
Vincent’s wedding
Luckily i managed to get to Hilton on time, i thought it was at the Hyatt… silly me… all i could think about was the $5 per entry i had to pay.
Spidey Mikey
This is a picture of Spidey Mike breaking into his own apartment because he lost his keys, just before we headed to Wine Arcade. Such a taboo… everytime we go to Wine Arcade, someone has to lose their keys.
Gather-gather
I sms’ed Sean “bro… give face and come and wine-dine… no la… not my bdae, just gather-gather”
So we all gather-gather last saturday. My mom and my sis joined us too… The last part saw each of us taking turns to sing. Jean sang “journey” and dedicated the song to us for accompanying her throughout the TP journey… i appeared drunk in the pics but i was just happy. Jo and hubby came too 
and he even sang… wow…
Surprise!
Last night, i went to meet my class gals, i sat down and first thing i told them …”wei… 2 days later is my bdae, set your phone calendar and remember to sms me…”
I was only kidding…
Then they covered my eyes and bam!… a brownie cake that Dian baked… heart melts…
Thanks gals… no need to sms me la… see you in 3 weeks’ time.
This morning was slightly different, i had 2 cups of milo on my table and 1 was for Yee Fen who stayed with me for the night. We caught up on each other’s life…
We were discussing on teachers’ ethics, on how being an educator comes with certain expectations. And sadly i don’t meet some of these expectations… still pretty jaded … and why i never seem to learn to accept that my stuff is always 2nd best… so why even use my brain.
