the weekly update

i detest running and so i was extremely grumpy when doodoo wanted to do so, until we started running and it was then that everything changed haha. i was laughing and we didn't run for a long distance but i felt happy joking with doo and seriously i don't know why running makes me feel younger, and of course lighter - the wonders of great company. doo thinks we should do this more often :X but the lazy me can't bring myself to!

ahh and now its the time for me to grab some peeps to help me with my application for my degree. it's such a drag to do it all over again and this time, i'm not sure if the same peeps'll write for me again because they already did last year. what if they think i'm such a big fat piece of trouble and give me BADBADBAD comments this time around? :( well i still have to thicken my skin and try.

while i'm trying to get myself back into studying, i actually find myself with more responsibilities at work so i knock off later and now that i'm sick and down with a fever i'm worrying about getting better the child who is starting to be less clingy to her dad finally, the child whom i want to continue to teach and be there so that she can continue to see me and thus be even less clingy to her dad (cos ultimately dad wants to go back to work on those days she has her lessons at our school) and also discussing about educational plans, my circle time practice. etc. etc. etc. it's no fun being sick with a burning head, "crappy bones" that are twice as heavy to lift as i walk and worrying about work all at the same time. i wonder if i'm getting hooked onto this job.

anyway, just a couple of days ago a parent of another child thought that i am the parent of the child whom i teach. OMG. i was so shocked i could hardly respond "no, she's my student". and my student's dad was there and he too, appeared APPALLED. haha. can i say flabbergasted? as i shared the joke with my colleagues, they laughed and said "and that's your husband!". i wanted to say "so do i look old or does he look young?" while i was still in OMG mode. the man looks very young even though he's born in the 1960s but certainly i do not look old enough to have a kid right? thankfully it's only one such parent with such a comment or i may have freaked out and fainted if anybody else agreed with her. :X

also, while i was at work, my lips swelled and formed a pinkish outline over them. that's cos i had forgotten to bring my lip balm and OMG. it took 2 days for the pinkish outline to ease off, but only to see that it turned into dry skin T_T

and over the past 2 days doo and i were trying to lay our hands on a 5x5 rubik's cube. he's so totally mad over the cube and can solve the 3x3 already. honestly, i am in disbelief. it is just totally unbelievable as to how people can just sit there and solve the cube. well i suppose if u're totally keen on something, your mind will have the determination and drive to complete it. anyway, the first branch we were at was sold out of the cube and so the lady at the info counter helped us to check with other branches. she said the suntec branch has stock for it and so we went down. when we reached, they told us it's out of stock. CRAP. so we had to go home empty handed. i was extremely displeased with the info counter staff at the first branch who helped us to check and provided inaccurate information which cost us like 2 hours of our time. then on the next day, doo and i went down to forum and got the cube from there instead, and now he wants the 4x4 :X which isn't out in toys'r'us yet.

8 more weeks to the trip!~!~

plus CNY's coming. but how do i get decent clothes in this too-decent weather? NO long sleeves for me. everytime i purchase a piece i have to fold the sleeves up so i won't look sickly.
