Feng Shui Class
Hee...Hee...
I have finally started to do something that i've wanted to do for a looooong time.
i.e. take up Feng Shui Course :)
Class was held in SP, with Master Vincent Koh, held in conjunction with Singapore Feng Shui Centre.
Historically, i was always a 'back-bencher' :p.
But...for this course, i actually choose to seat in front right from the first lesson :D
And luckily enough, for ease of recognising us, Master Koh requested that each should stick to his or her own seat for every other lesson...so heng arh....dun need to go early every class to 'chop' front seat :)
The topics so far include the brief history of fengshui, plotting bithechart of property, Bazi, etc...
So far so good.... but the recent topic Bazi really make me see star... must work hard to understand and apply...
Also, for the recent presentation that our small group did on flying stars fengshui, i am glad that Master Koh actually made the comment "Got potential".... hopefully he meant it in the positive way... 加油... :D

《天冷就回来》 - 观后感
我终在星期二看了让新加坡骄傲的华语音乐剧《天冷就回来》。。。。。 觉得那是一出非常好的舞台剧，非常喜欢。好像让我回到中学时代。。。 梁文福的词像散文，也像小小说，也像对话，不同的拼凑就产生不同的故事、不同的解读。演员们也演得，唱得非常好。特别喜欢的是董姿彦。。。 非常好嗓音。。。 让我好陶醉。。。
看完音乐剧后，那些歌还在脑里钻来钻去。。。 真是太享受了。。。
我想，如果两年后会重演，我一定会‘逼’老公一起去：）

Back from 'Long' Trip
oh...it's almost end of April and i was reminded by Mr Mok that i have not update my blog for quite some time liao :p
I spent my first 2 weeks of April in US...yes...this is one location that i've planned to visit since many years ago.... finally, 1 wish close... :) Visited LV, SF and LA this time....
Hmm..... loved Grand Canyon and Yosemite park... really beautiful... I even see real snow at Grand Canyon....it was freezing cold and we were not prepared as the snow fall was unexpected...grr.... Luckily after snow/fog clear for a while, we were still able to see most of the canyon...how to describe....非常壮观.... I was speechless standing at Angel's Lodge, overlooking the GrandCanyon.... For Yosemite...the 4 hrs bus trip 1 way from SF was worth it... This national park has the world's 5th highest waterfall.... a beautiful river was running along most of the way that our bus took from the entrance of the park.... plain beautiful..... and with the very good weather...it was a waste that we did not manage to stay longer or cycle to cover more of the park..:s...
As for LV, well, it's a typical 赌城... there're casinos in almost all building. Loved the musical fountain at The Bellagio... Oh yes...enjoyed shopping at the 2 shopping outlets, although we controlled purchasing as we are not too sure of luggage weigh limit for domestic flight. Finally we spent most of our money in LA factory outlet as that was our last stop of the trip :p
I was very dissapointed with Universal studio in LA..it was much smaller than what i expected..and i think most of the 'attractions' are not really up-to-date....the whole place looked very tired.... really regretted not going to Disneyland instead...
For SF, the place we stayed is practically a tourist area...and due to warnings that streets are not very safe especially after dark, we didn't really wander too far away from the beach/wharf area.... the dungress crab was good though it's expensive....cost about USD30 per crab :p
After this trip, both hubby and me are really broke liao...have to save money......

Change.....
Yes...... I am greatly affected by the demise of our friend...
It has also triggered a lot of thinking about pple around me, and somehow it has changed the way i perceive certain things in life...
I have gladly taken things for granted very often...especially of the pple around me...
Like...hubby will always be there to support me...
...kids will always be around...
... MIL will always be glad to take care of the kids when me n hubby is not available...
...parents will always be there...especially during weekends when we have our weekly family gathering....
...jobs/income will be there.....
These days...i hug my kids more often...less scolding too i guess....
I have more patience with hubby......less fussy with how MIL do things around the hse....
Help around more in parents' hse on weekends...
I hope to be able to get around to contact more old friends rather than getting updates thru facebook :p
I am beginning to think seriously about the question : "If I know that THE DAY will come soon, what would i do....."
Insurance? Education? Financial security for the family..... lots of lots of items.....
I also hope that I will have the same strength Yanmei has when the day come.......

14 February 2009
Today is Valentine's Day...... it's also the day I lost a friend, Mr Wong Teck Chin....
Wong was once my 'small' boss...somekind of leader in our small drafting team....
That was > 10 years ago...
We got married on the same day 10 years ago and our colleagues were so torn as they cannot decide whose wedding to attend.....
We even went for our honeymoon together to Australia....that was fun....
We also say 10 years later we should go for our 2nd honeymooon together...but that day will never come now.... :'(
I will always remember him as someone who is intelligent, brave, fun, positive, understanding...and so much more.......yes...sacastic at times too :p....
Like what Yanmei has say....these are things that is beyond our control....and I hope and pray for the best for his Wife and 2 little girls...
May You Rest in Peace......

HDB
Very frustrated that we cannot buy new HDB.....due to the stupid ceiling stuff...
The income ceiling has been there for almost 14 years liao!!!!
What are all these govt/HDB pple doing???
Cost of public housing has increased by so much since 14 years ago...
Couple earning S$8000 and less can afford to finance a flat that is costing around S$700,000 meh???? Unless they have very good papa bank or mama bank to help.....
Pple like us in the middle income group is like 不上不下... cannot buy new flat, and cannot afford pre-owned flat due to the very high price above valuation.... unless we want to settle for those ulu ulu 鸟不生蛋 area like Juring extension, etc...arrrrgh.....
And the govt was assuming that we should be able to buy pte housing...which has total area of 98m2, and is selling at 1 million dollars...arrrgh......
为什么不让我们中多多....... arrrgh.......
Think is the the general feelings of the middle income family..... :'(

恭喜发财! Happy 牛 Year!
Here's wishing everybody a Happy 牛 Year!
Today is the first day of work for me after CNY, and chu8 is supposed to be a good day to start work...
Was reading in the newspaper this morning, which mentioned that the last time market situation was bad was in 1997...12 years ago......and was also supposed to be a Happy 牛 Year!
This 牛 year started off with various companies across the world announcing retrenchment, brankrupcy, and Qimonda has also announce for insolvency..which has turned in bankruptcy too today.....
According to the astrology book that i bought, this is supposed to be a good year for me...and that i'll travel a lot this year. If this is true, then i'm really looking for ward to it....but that would also means that there'll be a big hole in my pcoket.....
My DS and DD are supposed to 犯太岁 this year.... hopefully the year won't be too bad for them this year....
Well....I can only hope for the best for everybody, to have good health, and be 开开心心 this year..
HUAT AH!! .... aka.... 发啊!

HAppy New YEar! It's 2009!!
So....i've started my year lazing around at home.. :p
No need to go back to office yet due to shutdown :s
.....arrrgh..... din want to face the tons of clothes that is piling up in the carboard....
as expected...after the long holiday, DD refuse to go to school, and make a scene outside the school screaming.. 'I want to go homeeeee......'
DS seems to have gotten used to go to school...hee.....
This year, i've signed up GUG for DD....but think she felt quite bored on the first lesson as i think she may be one of the older kids in the class :p ... let's see how she'll behave next week....
also...hopefully DS has come to terms that he'll need to attend the class at ICR..... with or without tears :p.... but he was doing quite well yesterday, and even say that the teacher praise him for good reading...hope that will keep him motivated to attend the classes....
I am now thinking if i should also sign him up with Kumon for maths....arrrgh......i've become a kiasu mum... :(
