This week alone, i've watched two movies both with two different friends with the initial of B. :P

This was a very humourous show. Laughed big time. It portrays about love between good friends. I found the storyline very touching.

I watched this last night as a midnight show. I found it quite boring. The plot was very slow moving at the start while the ending was kinda too abrupt.

I love to watch movies. It's really a great pleasure and luxury to be able to catch a movie these days as i've been too busy. I'm kinda waiting for the holidays to arrive.

We were very thankful that we were released at about 1 pm on Friday and I headed to Lauren's house for lunch together with Ying. Her maid cooked very nice beehoon and finger food for us. This week was simply a eat and grow fat week for me. That Zi Ling and I went for a very long jog, roughly 7km on Wednesday night. It was a great breakthru for us - If we perservere we will definitely be able to breakthru. Above, are the figurines which Lauren's brother-in-law gave her sister-in law. They are so beautiful. Love them!!

Here's Lauren's collection of precious moments figurines given by her hubby. Love them too!! :P
This is Xanthus, Lauren's nephew. He's really a very happy baby. So adorable. :)

He's a very intelligent baby for his age. He's always so smiley and giggling. He makes me smile. :)

After lunch, the three of us headed to the cold storage at Eastwood to buy Munchy Donuts. :) Donuts are my favourite. I bought eight of them. Two for a friend and the rest for my family. Guess what, I smashed the two which my friend wanted by accidentally sitting down on them while wearing my shoes. I really did not realise it. I felt so bad. Thank God there was one left so I brought that out instead.

I love to listen to oldies and that also include old christian songs as those were the songs that I sang when I was still a baby christian. Wei Siang has a collection of 3 CDs which he would play during his car ride. Last Friday night I so happened to want to listen to the song, 'As the deer'. We spent some time searching for the song but by the time we found the right CD, I couldn't listen to it as I was reaching home. Then before I alight, he ejected it and pass me the CD. Initially, I said it's alright but he insisted in lending me. I'm grateful for his kind act as the CD has lots of beautiful songs that I used to sing and love. I brought it to school and played it on Monday and today while I was doing work before school.

Yesterday night, Simon sent me the song 'Saviour King'. It was a song that I wanted as it ministers alot to me. It was a great gift as it's something that both of us have been asking each other for but we just simply don't have it. I do not know where did he get it from but I thank God for the song. I listened to it on my desktop early this morning before heading for school.

To me christian songs ministers to me alot. It brings peace and joy. That is why I often soak myself in christian music whenever i'm doing my work. This is a period where I love to draw close to him and be in His presence.

It's two weeks away from exam period. It's suppose to be a period of stress for pupils. Yet mine just seemed to be taking things lightly at this time. I had pet talks with them today and I was kind of disappointed with them.

Such time of the year is often the most stressful period for us teachers too. Had to make worksheets for them to do revisions. Then do tonnes of marking, depending on the amount of work we give them. It agitates me when they don't appreciate it and don't see the urgency to work hard. Plus, I had to prepare science revisionary worksheets for the Pri 5 EM3 and the remarks of my pupils which needs to be keyed in tomorrow. I dread writing comments and I always take ages to complete them. Also, I was feeling tired and I would just stare into thin air when I need to type the comments. I've commented on my pupils 3 times this year already and I simply ran out of ideas.

Yet today, I came home and pray that God would give me the wisdom to get them done in 2 hours. Usually, I would spend one whole day doing it as it's very draining. Today, I finished everything in 1.5 hours. To me it's really the grace and mercy of God. He multiplied my time and helped me to be focused in doing it. How wonderful He's to me!!

What more can I say?
I'm simply so loved by God and am tasting so much of His goodness.
Everything is worth it. :)

Haha...I'm Jedi Knight in white. It was pouring cats and dogs at Expo and I had to wear my hood to keep myself warm and dry.

Haven't been to the airport for quite some time. The last time I went there was by car and I didn't take the sky train. I realised that it has changed as it has to cater transport to Terminal 3 in the future.Walking past the departure hall makes me want to fly away from Singapore too. I don't know why but lately i've become one who wishes to go for getaways to recharge and explore the other parts of the world. I want to make travelling a must each year. I want to see the world like never before.This is my lunch at Popeye. Someone used to tease me about how I mispronouced the name of the place. To me I see it as a stupid and silly mistake but the person felt that I was kinda cute. That's what makes me feel encouraged and loved. :) I ordered chicken strips instead of my usual two piece chicken. My appetite got smaller and I lost alot of weight. I feel happy that i'm going back to the weight I used to have before I started taking the course of antibiotics for my skin. How did I lose weight? Guess I was too busy and didn't have much appetite. Also, I jog at least twice a week. Healthy lifestyle huh?? :P

It was simply a great and relaxing afternoon spent with great friends. :)

Guess what, these are what we ordered but it cost us 90 bucks. We were kato by those durian sellers as we didn't know that they cost so much. The durians does not match up with the price it cost. :(

Instead of heading home, three of us ended up at the Mac opposite Daniel's place drinking green tea. Then we discussed about Tic Tac Toe about how the bell will ring after the guy or girl introduced himself/herself. That was their misconception of Tic Tac Toe, it's main purpose is to help us make friends through fun activities and not the usual way of matchmaking we watch on tv. We were very cranky as it was wee hours. :)
