devastating news :(
i'd been so caught up with blogging about my bday that i had entirely forgotten to talk about what i felt was devastating.
T_T my favourite kid to teach is going to be transferred to another teacher for a 2:1 session while i get a new kid to teach.. i heard its going to be a girl who's turning 3 this year.
i am going to miss teaching him because he's so cute, funny and just simply fun to teach!
ah well~ i haf sth else to complain about. i want this long silk chiffon floral dress from f21 that's sold out a while ago. i really regret the fact that i wasn't able to appreciate its mature kind of beauty when it was retailling in Singapore, and now its being sold on eBay for like almost $300 SGD~ w00t? just because paris hilton and some other celebs wore it. its so maddening! anyway that has to go on my wishlist!!! thing is, if it was the real foley dress, then yea $300'll probably be a terrific price.. but its just F21.
and i need new work clothes :( my colleague said i need a new wardrobe - but that alone doesn't give me a reason to shop just for the sake of buying something new or because i need something new. point is, i have to like it~ or i'll spend the entire day wishing that i had never stepped out of the house in that new blouse. eeks.
hmm~ i didn't go to work today. got 2 days of MC because i have lost my voice. its been a week-long sore throat or throat inflammation thing.. its been hurting for a whole week but i never got down to seeing the doc until i lost my voice. and guess what? she gave me $20 antibiotics + 3 other kinds of medicine and i'm only going to take 1 kind: the smallest ones to swallow. the story behind the $20 antibiotics is a cruel one :( i'm getting it just because i work with kids of the preschool age. it seems (according to the doc) that there's some virus going around the kids and adults and it spreadssss. X_X i hope the med works soon anyway, cos i'm seeing my fav kid on Wed! :D and i have to be able to talk to him right? haha.

went for Sher's bday chalet on Fri and they surprised the tootieme! cheryl, the distractor, was walking along the row of chalets which i didn't know was the one where Sher's was.. and suddenly everyone started singing Happy Birthday. for a moment i asked myself silently in my head if someone else's birthday is on the 24th of August too, because i'm so shortsighted i could hardly see anything except for lighted candles (i couldn't make out the words from afar) and some army boys (clearly in uniform) haha. when i got nearer, i realised the candles said HAPPY BDAY~ and it was a really pretty sight. in fact, its so nice i wouldn't mind experiencing it again :)!
there were also presents, and i felt so sorry that i couldn't put up anything on my wishlist to make my friends' shopping-for-abby's-bday-gift adventure a little easier. cos everything i wanted is overseas (except for now, i found a Lanvin lookalike dress which i'm not sure whether or not to get cos i need to alter it into a smaller size to fit me :( not that i'm that tiny, but the store is sold out of smaller sizes!) anyway when i saw the pressie i was puzzled, because hey, the "packaging" looked so familiar haha. it was an ice-cream cone coin bank that i'm surprised they still remember that i love. whatever i found inside was whatever's expected of a coin bank so it can do its job!... and that was really a practical and thoughtful gift! cos number 1, i do save $1 coins. number 2, i do spend them all after i've reached a certain amount so they did a lovely thing by starting me off on another saving spree. number 3, its great for me to store my tikam tikam monies :) i don't know how to thank them enough for planning all the stuff. its another great memory and i'm not sure if anyone else would feel the same, but i feel that the surprise, the company and their thoughts weighed far more than anything else in that bday celebration. i have missed seeing and talking to these people! of course, i musn't forget the effort that doodoo took to come down from Boon Lay to Pasir Ris. it wasn't his fault that his friend who's driving didn't know the way and still he rushed down in a cab. he lighted the candles for me, and that means a lot too :)
at work, the head of programme whispered something into the ears of the lil boy that i'm teaching (just when he was going to step out of the door and head back home) and he sang me a happy bday song after wishing me a happy bday. his mommy asked him to give me a BIG kiss and that was so sweet too :) i think i just grinned from ear to ear as i walked all e way back into the staff room. then just before lunch, there was a short meeting to announce that my confirmation appraisal was on my bday itself. =/ the appraisal was so embarrassing because i overrated myself in loads of areas and i realised what i think was good because i've achieved and learnt something may just be icing on the cake to others. anyway, when that was done, my colleagues asked me how it was and i didn't say anything because i hadn't thought of anything to say. well we all agreed that no news was good news, and then the lights went off and a birthday cake with two tall, brightly lit candles came into sight. wheehee! my colleague took pictures which i have yet to save into either my thumbdrive or email, and those were simply hilarious. while i was looking blessed, smiley and happy, the poor person who was holding the cake looked more SHOCKED than i was. haha!
i met ailay after work and it was so good to see her!~!~!~ she was wearing this electric blue tank, a colour that i currently am on the lookout for. she came down to meet me just to pass me my present! a vintage looking purse in gold that has got diamond encrusted kisslocks. we chatted for some time.. and then i went to meet my parents for dinner before dashing off to the chalet.
doodoo and i watched 2 movies this weekend. 881 (which was such a sad show that i had to tear!!!) and ratatouille! i love that ratty show.. the storyline's heartwarming and i don't know any other rat who could be nicer than Remy! we also ate billy bombers twice, and that's the shortest bill i've ever seen, considering we paid quite an amount. it was a great meal, but i ate all the dory that doodoo wanted to have so i felt rather sorry afterwards and wanted to share some with him, but i guess he was too full by then or he was just being considerate by acting full to minimise my guilt.

i've also been having this silly craving for Han's peach tarts. it seems that my brain keeps telling me "one is NEVER enough", so doodoo took me by surprise again and bought 4 for me. :D i feel so spoiled. haha.
everytime there's a break, i just want to check out the new attractions at Sentosa with doodoo. the weather always seems threatening though, and by the time we realise we've been fooled, its too late to go anywhere, which means my plans were totally spoilt, and the bottomline is, i didn't get what i wanted. but somehow or rather doodoo puts up with me (i know i'm stressing him out a lot but i didn't mean to :() and takes me somewhere else to be happy again - happy to be able to dine with him, to play tikam tikam with him (though i get sulky when i always can't get the last toy that i need to complete the set), and to be with him. i don't say it, but i feel so blessed that he brings me back down to Earth, and reminds me with his actions that its not the places that we go that matter, neither is it the restaurants that we dine at, its really the company that we enjoy the most. like how crawling up onto the upper deck of a double-deck bus may feel like the most tiring thing to do when you're having a fever but you realise later on that it doesn't feel so bad when you're with a loved one and perhaps that alone brings you comfort.
anyway, just last night, we went to Sher's place for a surprise "party!". it was lovely, and it felt good to see 'em all again. sitting on Sher's sofa reminds me of the countless projects we worked on at her place.. whether or not it was sewing a playkit or designing our boards for our presentation.
what we did at her place was to hide in her room, and when she stepped in after her date with Fai, we'd started to sing the happie bday song and omg, she just started to cry. it wasn't just tearing.. hehe :X it was so funny to see that everyone (including myself) were on the verge of having a heart/panic attack. because sher's lift brings her right up to her doorstep, we could monitor it to see when she was coming home. and each time there was a false alarm, we had to blow out the candles and light 'em back again (cos otherwise the Strawberry Shortcake) would melt. the cake was soooooo good i love the sweetness of it. YUMMY!~!~! after we ate the cake, the treasure hunt for Sher's presents began! LOL.
i feel like i'm having a hangover even though none of us drank a sip. i slept at something like 3am cos i was surfing the net, checking my emails and all until that time or so~ and now i'm having stiff joints, a hot and painful head and i just wanna keep sitting down forever. is this what a hangover feels like? well i picture it to be.
the girls seemed thrilled with the car bag, and sher "drove" it in her living room haha. there was even an imaginary traffic light! i told them how much it cost and thankfully nobody jumped, cos i might have paid a little weee bit more for 'em now that i remember i am charged some $$ when i make the payment to an overseas addy/person:(
and i wish my stupid, layered hair would just grow away. thanks to the way they were chopped, i look as if i've got curls but its not the kind that i want. so since i'm not considering rebonding for the time being, maybe i really should try a curl @ Jean Yip (Reb did her perm there and it turned out absolutely fab both times!) and be an obasan for 6 months.
this seemed like an utterly long post of happy times~ well 2 more weeks to go before i get my one week break! woohoo!~ its still sth to cheer abt although my throat hurts :( perhaps its from all the talking i had to do, and laughing from the children's petty-ness or the funny things they say.

so has the set of 9 noisy mr men and little miss toys~ (with loads of extras). everytime i drop them onto the floor i hear sneezing, chomping, laughing, giggling and the list goes on.
went to crystal jade with ah doo again~ and i just love their mango pudding! i remember there was a point in time when i was entirely turned off by their mango pudding because i ate a bowl of sour pudding at one of their branches. i never approached to figure out what was wrong, but i just kept away from their mango pudding for a while! in fact, if i didn't remember wrongly, imperial treasure's mango pudding's great too~ if not better, (the first time i tried it when they first opened) haha. i should go back for that some day soon.
been working (what's new), stocktaking (mr men and little miss), looking out for more stuff to buy (as usual) because the oversized lens-less specs that i wanted are out of stock!!! (yes, this deserves 3 exclamation marks!) :( i'm guessing as well that my tikaming habits are back again, or i suppose they were never gone, but perhaps they were just waiting to be re-activated again, and they might be at their peak considering toysroom has brought in tons of stuff that i want - my melody plush handphone dangles, and 3 pooh collections in like.. a week or so? thanks to this, i have cleared out my $1 ice-cream bank, and have gotten really grumpy when i don't get what i want (and we went to 3 locations just to complete 1 set of stuff).
one more comment before i go back to bed~ it seems as if everyone's birthday seems to fall in August. i can already name a handful.
