I have decided to put aside my work to do some updating - those never-ending word, ppt and excel documents.
Nov was a month of changes, especially at work - Cherry and i have got a new neighbour and we are missing old ones, those familar laughter…
We laid down our “house” rules: must top up snacks, CANNOT switch on the air-con, only WE can laugh loudly. So far, we must have given the impression we are very dramatic.
Other changes

It has become the gathering of the little patter of tiny feet as we see the peeps embark on parenthood.
My bestest friend

“Boss, my bestest friend in the whole wide world is getting married” and this liner has allowed me to take one of the weekends off to fly to attend cec’s beautiful ceremony during the teaching term.

Despite the busy schedule, sogo and cec still tried to play the bestest host and for the first time, i got to eat hairy crab. She has become Chan tai or Mrs Chan.
Wa-hai… my heavy make-up… after the dinner, i had a hard time washing it off. The fake eyelashes was literally glued to my real eye-lashes.

I thought I’ve changed to be a tad sportier, thus i took up the challenge to form a team IMI relay. Sigh… i SOLELY brought the whole team down. We were leading until it was my turn… people overtook me, then they become smaller and smaller, then another one ran past me, then he also became smaller and smaller… i was so slow that andrew had to stand on the stage to see if i was making my way back.
After that, all i could remember was that i exchanged my tag for 100+, ice cream and apple…
…obviously i started with the ice cream first.
Concert

Jean was so stressed for this concert till she started having dreams about how Murphy’s law of chaos ruined the whole concert. We helped by lending support to the projects and turning up at rehersals etc.
The big day came…
Bro also came to support support (thinking that there was crab dinner after that)

During the concert…
Cherry and i cheered “Rick, Jean, wo men yong yuan zhi chi ni”, we kena jeered at. Paiseh.

After the concert… look at the relieved faces.
Term A

I was so busy this term, esp after i realised that i had to take over another subject. So, students would offer me lollies to make the lesson a tad sweeter.
As usual, i asked my class to accompany me to see my long time idol (at close distance), T’ang quartet at the library. Shujuan and Daryl actually smsed me to remind me of the event. They played Cannon and Air on G string, and my heartbeat just stopped … twice.
One of the member changed too.
Mike’s camera

Mike would bring his camera and take pics of us during lunch and outings.

In times of changes like these, we can only look forward…
Reno mags

Recently, I only read purely reno mags. Doing up the reno is such a tedious process - accomodate, accomodate, accomodate. Weeks after weeks of going back to the ID just to refine the design to fit my budget. This is so tiring.
Cherry’s exhibition

Attended Cherry’s exhibition at Australia High Comm and hers was the most interesting. The food was very interesting too *rub tummy*

I told Shermaine to thank the Lord who has blessed her with good results despite the little effort she put in. So, i brought her to Bugis to shop shop eat eat.
Have been eating with dad (and mom) for the past few weekends, quite stressful coz we never have the chance to order what we like (eg. sweet-sour pork) even though the food he orders is nice. Good and bad la …
The forbidden palace

I kept telling my colleagues how i’m hooked to this canto drama and how the palace life is like the office scene. People who just likes to create trouble, backstabbers etc…
Everyday, i tell them i feel like the slave in the show; my life would revolve around this “palace”, there’s not even a chance that we could get out. It almost seems like good never begets good (or at least in the story)
Forrest’s guide to life

Ah bui has made a few friends in the neighbourhood. I also dunno why but this fella keeps getting beaten up by those mean friends and he still gladly wait for them at the gate each day.
It’s confirmed, he won’t be joining me at the new place.
Papa says “Ah pei can go but the cat stays“!!!!
I guess i can learn a thing or two (work ethics) from ah bui
1. see no evil
2. must do balancing act so that I still have a life
3. bo-chap all the way

4. Lastly… give thanks to the Lord that I can wake up each day, yawn, get ready for work and try to embrace the change(s).
I am so busy and tired that my prayer time is so short, and i usually dozed off halfway. I only have time to pray for myself and others is on ad-hoc basis. So bad… Must make new year resoultion to make time for prayer and for people around me.
Christmas is coming… I even asked zhihua to accompany me to christmas service. Hai, looks like it’s just myself again, joining May Leng’s family.
Time to hit the word, ppt and excel documents again…
Hope you’re still surviving with the word, ppt and excel documents! Hang in there Natasha! (I’m not your student anymore, so I don’t have to call you Ms Nat!) HAHA. I miss those days where you would pop by and we would just snack on junks and gossip.
