a vicious cycle: when a child is hit, he learns to hit.

been getting hit at school by a soon-to-be 4 year old boy.. and this only started really recently. i just learnt that mommy canes him.. and so perhaps that's why he thinks that hitting is a way of getting what he wants because mommy hits to get what she wants (for example, for him to be quiet or obedient) so he thinks that if he hits, he gets what he wants (he wants to not do "work" at school).

so my lesson on Friday went pretty bad, and the only reason why i can still smile is because its the weekend. there i was trying to concentrate on carrying out the lesson itself while having to catch his hands before they could hit me. and boy does he aim for the face. so while i panicked, i soon found myself at a loss for words and oh gawd i was supposed to ask him questions that he had to answer as part of the task.

seriously i felt so stressed and drained the past week. i felt like crying at work at mid-week, call it a day, quit my job and i wanted to go home as much as the kids wanted to. every night i just go straight to bed to zzz immediately after dinner. tell me about putting on weight, but i can't help it. well anyway, its not like Friday was the only day with a bad lesson, but still it is worrying when you don't know what Monday or any other day would bring.

its also getting more and more difficult to count down, with each day and week and month passing so slowly. to keep mysself sane, i have started jotting down several meetings and to-dos in my organizer (such as a visit to the dentist, the skin clinic, a pedicure, meetups with the best of friends etc). i actually keep an organiser for the sake of work events only. haha. but things like birthdays are in it too though.

i also believe in "think happy thoughts" so i keep thinking about the clothes & bags that are going to arrive in november (just in time for the lovely and obviously long-awaited hols). XD~ never mind that i haven't gotten any holiday destination yet actually.. i can just stay home and try on different clothes everyday to entertain myself~ LOL.

doodoo came and picked me up for supper last night.. and i can't help but feel that taking an excessive amount of cabs everywhere is truly a waste of $ =/

plus we couldn't even finish their food for the first time..

anyway yesterday i suppose i was pretty moody after getting reminded about all the insecurity and stress at work. and it doesn't help that its sunday today, which means tomorrow will be monday :( and everytime we get down to mondays and tuesdays i have to brace myself for the worst and force myself to cast my fear of the unknown (only God knows what's going to happen) away.

it was also a very painful day for jiahui and i X_X! we tried out waxing at pink parlour and omigod is all that i have to say. the magazine which they quoted from which said something about "painless" is total bullshit please. the pain factor is what made me pissed. their cleansing lotion stung my skin and i felt like i was being burned with acid and after that it felt like the skin was dissolved or eaten away or whatever, which meant i felt as if i was left with just the watery layer of skin beneath my topcoats. i was so scared of the burning issue that i started imagining that the top few layers of my skin were going to disappear or that there were gonna be some brown marks left behind and i didn't know whether or not to be scared to check it out haha. so since i was already panicking in my head, the pain got worse because i was unusually uncalm. i literally told myself to take deep breaths. ooh and for the first time in my entire waxing history (i know the history isn't long/old but still!) i actually asked the therapist to lower the temperature.

waxing has always been bearable, and not that jerky. but they proved me wrong! anyway, jiahui felt that the temperature was wayyyy too hot too, so i am not alone! in fact i was in awe of her therapist's technique and i had no idea how she survived it X_X. and this is not the admiration kind of awe. its just simply probably the opposite. i am in a state of wonder as to how someone could be so care-less.

more, more, MORE!

doodoo and i were walking along citylink when i decided to hop into the adidas store to take a look at nothing-in-mind.

then we came across these shoes from their superstar ii series and the suaku me didn't know what the shoes were about. apparently, one side of one side of the pair of shoes had yellow stripes while the other side of one side of the pair of shoes had white stripes. there was another pair that had the yellow stripes on the outside, while the one we picked up had the white stripes on the outside. what i never knew about the shoes was that the stripes were interchangeable and extra strips came along with the shoes so that doodoo could change the colours whenever he wanted, according to his mood. they should honestly have such shoes for girls in girlier cuttings - like pumps or heels or whatever though i have not come up with an image of what that would look like haha. and of course i'm talking non-adidas brands cos otherwise the shoes'll just end up looking like sneakers. well needless to say i thought the shoes were cool and we bought 'em on the spot! whee they still had 'em in his size so lucky us for size 9 was OOS!

aniwae the car bag craze hasn't ended so i can't stop talking about it! i am now trying to get my hands on gold, silver and orange. :D:D:D i am so excited~!~! i know its too much of me to get so many, doodoo and mommy agreed with that statement but still, he's willing to buy it for me and i simply can't refuse. :X the only colours for the car bag that i'm leaving out are brown and bronze. cos i can't figure out if it really looks ugly.. it does to me at first glance, plus i'd usually leave the browns for leather bags..

after tomorrow, 4 more weeks to go! i am dying for friday's morning lesson to be OVER! i need that break. cos the possibly self-perceived stress is driving me up the wall already X_X!

my memory got the better of me

i had gotten my dates in my organiser (now what kind of organiser is that now?) all mixed up and so a friend's birthday wishes ended up getting to her only a week after it had passed. oh gawd i feel so guilty, sorry and silly.

i should've double-checked with someone whose boyfriend's birthday falls on the same day as that friend of ours, so that means she would never forget our friend's birthday as well. i wonder if i should wish for that kind of luxury. but maybe not.

anyway, i went to sentosa with my cousin wei-lin, as she's here as an intern with some of the hospitals here~ whee.. she comes from london.. and so i can't help but think back of the shopaholic series of books that i had read since it was mainly set in britain.

we visited the beaches, dolphin lagoon (the pink dolphins are SO cute and did anyone know that it takes 20 years for their skin to turn pink? i didn't know before i went there!), took the luge & chairlift and had a meal with our aunt at coastes~ which had these cool log seats and an oven that looked like a fireplace. woohoo! we ended up getting a little red and sunburnt as well =/ the sun wasn't too kind to us that day but at the same time, we couldn't do without it! then we went back to vivo for some shopping haha.. where needless to say, i bought something on impulse again. something i probably would never wear but i thought it was cheap -.-

oh and i am getting so mad. everyone's going to be carrying the car bag sooner or later. more and more of the local folks are actually bringing it in for cheaps, so i can say byebye to exclusivity. well some look similar but some don't. some have car number plates and some don't, even though they're in the same colour as those that i have. what really makes me mad is that i paid $10.90 more for 1) home delivery and 2) this stupid car number plate that has funny letters put together which i cannot figure out what they stand for. still, i'd rather get more car bags even if the whole world is carrying them cos they're simply too cute for me to resist (i wanna get gold please!! but no bronze for me~). plus i find it difficult to bring myself down to some LV or Tods or Gucci shop to get a bag, because i'm one of those who walk down the street peeking at the so-called branded bags that people carry and i try to figure out at the same time if those are real or fake. why would i want to succumb to what those people are experiencing? those carrying fakes will just look terrible if found out and i suppose there's lots of them out there so why buy them? and so i don't see the point in carrying a branded bag when there's tons of fakies out there. just look at abercrombie and fitch. and then juicy couture. those poor brands have been cheapened by bulk imports of fakes. well maybe juicy couture is still wearable considering new designs keep coming out and the quality, material and designs are always so nice and uncomparable to the fakes. i suppose at the end of the day that's what makes up for the difference in prices~ and there will always be peeps to get the real stuff cos 1) its leet thanks to the price -.-. 2) its always more assuring to get the authentic deal.

i'm so happy XD! i found a choc-u-lator, which is a calculator which smells and looks like a bar of chocolate! it even comes with the foil wrapping that comes with cadbury chocolates :) i can't wait to get mine~~

this is so exciting. 5 more weeks till the end of school and i'm FREE.

s'poreans are increasingly rich and kiasu.

i thought that booking more than 2 months in advance = very early, and that i'd be one of the early birds.

to my utmost surprise, all the 3n cruise trips on superstar virgo are already fully booked! what nonsense is this?!?!?!?! all that's left is the junior suite (hello, even the executive suites r taken so no chance 4 me) or either that i go for the miserable 2n one. yuck. i can't believe this at all. are people that rich and kiasu?

my mood is totally spoilt now. i spent every waking moment thinking about the cruise trip and now all my sweet thoughts are dashed. there's like this red line going across the beautiful anticipation i had which also spells CANCELLED.

this sucks. it just shows $ can't buy everything. i need to get to know someone who works in the star cruise thing. haha!

the beetle showroom

i love beetles.

they're the fabbest, cutest cars EVER.

whether or not its the vintage kind or the new ones that were featured as cupcakes in the volkswagen advertisement in the straits times :) its the only car i wanna own right now~ either in orange or pink!!!

mom used to ask me to go get my driving license so i can get miself a small car of my own next time. she stopped asking when i told her the small car that i want is a beetle. heehee~

well anyway, doodoo's room has become the beetle showroom. i've parked all 5 of my beetle bags there~ yellow. matte red. metallic red. black. white. i want orange and pink!!! i suppose these are the things (apart from domomomo) that cheer me up when i'm so scared to go to work. so uncertain about what's going to happen at work and etc. btw screaming kids have been termed by my colleague as "floorsters". haha. and i have a floorster who really drives me up the wall and makes me into a wallster. seriously. oh and to my distress, i have started tying my hair up again without much choice. it hurts me, the auntie, when my hair is tied up. boo.

maybe i'm just too stressed to think properly when it comes to shopping and perhaps it makes me too tired to think and choose between two colours or that sorta thing (but yet i'm still able to find excuses for my silly habit of buying the same stuff in different colours). i think jiahui's birthday wishes for me are totally coming true - things like getting the things i want and all. the car bags ain't the only example. work clothes. striped dresses (ooh i've got this black and white one with doodoo over the weekend and i like the combi cos it looks so jailbirdish). etc. etc. how it happens is that i go shopping with a car bag, and i try on a dress which matches that particular car bag colour. however, i try on another dress in the same design but in a different colour and i think to myself, that "oh, this is going to match with my other car bag (obviously in a different colour as well)". this is all in addition to my other infamous habit of buying stuff that i think i would wear for some funny occassion or themed party but i never get down to doing so.

and i'm DYING to do my nails. they have not been pedicured for 15 or so weeks? 6 more weeks to go and i'm going to dive into a nail parlour to be pampered with every choice of colour available. LOL. oh but thinking of trimming those cuticles.. oww.

on a happier note, has any1 out there tried out munchy donut's donuts? haha. i tried 'em out because of their name. there were these PERFECT corn dogs from a munchy donut cafe thing at the expo that doodoo and i loved but is too faraway to go to every weekend and so i thought the donuts were a part of them, but apparently they aren't. well~ not too bad though, their oreo donuts are sooo lovely. i love the mcflurry from mcdonalds because of the oreo crunchie bits and that's the exact same reason why i love the oreo donuts. imagine soft round bread that you can sink your teeth into on your first bite and every other bite after that is just sweet with white chocolate (my all time favourite kind of chocolate) and crunchy oreo bits! its heavenly! the only other donut that i'd like is the one from the donut factory which i got sick of eating after sher and friends and i bought them together the last time round. that's the strawberry heart donut - coated with white chocolate on the outside and filled with a whole lot of strawberry jam on the inside. whee for these sweet and happy things!
