Rebonding

The lower end of my hair is already a bit wavy, and since CNY is approaching, I decided to rebond and trim my hair before the price hike. So this afternoon, I spent 4hrs at my neighbour house to do the rebonding, sit until I'm tired. Spent $60 in total. Cheap right?! Haha.

After that, my uncle brought my cousins over to our place before the school re-open in 2 days time. As usual, I treated my cousins with lots of chocolates, candy and lollipops. My cousin, Qihui is now in the gifted program in Pri 5 and he had since switched over to study at Pei Hwa (I think so). He needs to get up at 5.30am every morning to prepare for school, kind of pity him. Unluckily, my uncle drives him to school every morning. That saves him from waking up at 5am to catch the school bus. Also, my uncle will be moving on to a new position with GSK in the new year.

In less than 24 hrs, we will be ushering in the new year. May the new year be better for all of you out there.

Frustration

My feeling now - tired and super duper sianz. Supposed to be on leave but am working now due to this stupid client. This is now getting on my nerves. Been working since 2045hrs.

Can't they understand simple English, cannot means cannot. Why do they insist they want to do it their way. Can't they wait another few more days.

Finally, issue has been resolved, all thanks to the Tech guys. Time now is 2336hrs.

Lesson learnt

Today, we went to Sentosa - Cafe Del Mar to have lunch (post Xmas cum Boxing day celebrations). What was suppose to be an enjoyable and relazing lunch did not turn out well for me. I've tonnes of work to do - web and data requests. Knowing that we will be having a long lunch today, I've cleansed all the data requests, except for one yesterday. But the rest of the work are enough to prevent me from relaxing.

After lunch, I went back to office to check on some work issues before re-joining the team for coffee at Vivo. It was there that I learn a few lessons, of which this is the most important and had set me thinking all day long - decide now who and where you want to be in 3 yrs time.

Since young, I have always wanted to be a teacher, in particular a Mathematics teacher in secondary school. Sad to say, my grades never make it - English, my killer subject - I hate English. In order to fulfill this dream, I had previously taken a language proficiency from NIE, and cleared it. Still I'm still a miles away from my dream. Back then, teaching is a very popular job due to the financial crisis. I've always been near to my dream, I once worked in a before and after school care center for primary school kids, gave tuition during my uni days and after work - just so that I can fulfill my passion for teaching. But now, I have to give up tuition due to work commitment - no choice.

Everytime, when I feel down with work, this thought will always flash across my mind - to teach. Should I or should I not.

Gadgets

My mum got a new Akira 42" Full HD LCD Tv at the Akira Warehouse sale on the 1st week of Dec. We had barely walked through the warehouse sale when my mum grab this buy at their crazy hourly promotion sale. The tv set bundled with a DVD player was going at only $1,599.00, usual price for the tv was $2,499.00 (approx. 36% discount), and this is only limited to 20 units.

42" Full HD LCD TV

A few days later, my sis got a Nintendo Wii at their annual D&D. This came at the right time for the new TV. It comes with a Wii sports CD - tennis, golf, bowling & boxing. There are also 2 free games with the console - boring games I must say. Been surfing the net recently to see if there are nice games - Super Mario Galaxy & The legend of Zelda, not sure nice or not. Anyone got reviews on these games?


Nintendo Wii......Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
