The Paradox

I am so looking forward to my holidays.

This year has been a mixture of good, wow, wonderful as well as exhausting. Really really exhausting. Teaching 5 different groups of children had been no joke and i am so glad that it has come to an end.

As usual, as always, this year the kids came in all sorts of different shapes, sizes and colours. But i must say i learnt alot. I enjoyed myself immensely, renewed my passion for teaching and became a better person. I am also very grateful to all the kids i taught this year for having been patient with me, when i made mistakes along the way and when i was trying to understand them.

Somehow this time round the workload increased, together with responsibilities. My health has definitely been better. Though i crave for a good change, all i want for now is rest.
To rest my mind, my heart, my body and more than anything my soul. Oh but that comes after tomorrow, after 13 hours of non stop work. sigh.

I just cant agree on many things you guys call policy.

You say that you are being fair but who are you trying to kid?

Its a dread to go there and i drag myself every single day.

6 and a half years is a very long time.

I want out.

Chanced upon this advertisement and thought it was so cute (and funny).

It’s like mocking not only the competitors but the people who bought the competitor’s products as well.:) So please… if you don’t wanna celebrate Father’s Day, use DUREX.

Lately people keep telling me how much of weight i had put on. Not forgetting the fact that my pants are getting rather tight fitting. Told myself that from henceforth i would eat more salads and less starch. Darling was at school so i decided to make a salad (in case something goes wrong i could just throw it away and not feel guilty about making him wait and become ever more hungry by the minute. Believe me i thought it was yummy. For a person who simply hates her greens this was awesome. Yeah i do admit…. i added LOTS of cheese and chicken but of course i had my greens as well.

Henceforth i vow to eat more salads.

There has been a space in our study that was empty (and colourless) to me. After much thoughts i decided to shop around for a chaise to fill up that space, add some colour and at the same time allow us to pick up a book from our massive bookshelf and settle into it. However, when i shared with this with the hubby, he was not very keen about it. We started talking about the pros and cons and all when he finally thought of a bean bag…. Why not i thought ))!

We sourced around at Spotlight and even the beanbag mart but nothing… absolutely nothing spoke to us.

Last night while watching TV and surfing the net, i chance upon this cool site http://www.blob-bean-bags.com/sg/home.html?gclid=CK2IwczEmZ0CFQEupAodUxqY3Q.

Though they are based in New Zealand, they ship the bean bag covers to Singapore! So all you have to do is to purchase beanbag refills and fill it in the beanbag when it arrives. How cool! We explored the site and that was when we saw it.

The Alta Bean Bag.

It looks like a huge over sized pillow but gave up to 7 options of sitting, reclining and straddling. They are made super soft but strong enough to ensure durability and resilience. Their bags are also fade and spill proof making them ideal for outdoor use. You can choose from two beanbag sizes and lots of colours, from a demure chocolate brown to a popsicle fuschia to suit a lounge or a kids room.

Here is what i purchased. Eagerly waiting for its arrival:)

Hmmm….i must be sounding like Rebecca Bloomwood from Sophie Kinsella’s books calling my kate spade my pride and joy.

Got a recent interest in Kate Spade’s bags and accessories. After looking around i found a perfect wallet for myself. And the best thing is I got it in pink. Well  i made over 3oo bucks for it but its gorgeous.

Some things are just meant to be

Got in touch with a couple of my newly-turned-mummies friends. When I ask about how their little bundles of joys are, the first thing they send me are links.

Very impressive links i must say. While some boast endless pictures of the babies, some simply talk about the happenings in the lives of these tiny ones. We may wonder what is so interesting about the lives of babies… after all they drink milk and sleep. I thought so too but i was wrong. The particular mummy, V blogs as if it was by the baby Gwyneth herself. Its also amazing how she puts herself into the shoes of the baby and talks about the feelings and the little milestones the baby has crossed. She also shares about the various places she buys interesting things for her babies. Uploaded with beautiful pictures of the baby, i really had a great time reading the post.

As i was reading i also realised how wonderful it was to have a baby. As much as it sounds fun, baby Gwyneth forgot to mention mummy’s sleepless nights… or endless changing of diapers for that matter!

Everyone thinks of changing the world

but no one thinks of changing himself…..

LAYER ONE:

Been feeling rather lost since i lost my N95. Lost it in Dec 31st 2009 by the way. Finally i feel as if i have moved on. This makes me realise how much of emotions some of us attach to our materials.

As my contract is over, i will be eligible for a new handset. After surveying the phone market (as well as my pocket) i have decidede to settle for  Nokia 5800. Hope it will be a good friend to me and take over the hole in my heart left by my N95. Goodbye N95… you were a good companion when you were beside me.
