The CNY break



Been intending to write about our recent Chinese New Year break but have been busy with other things.
So finally.

Well, being the lazy people that we are, we decided that we were not up for any travelling beyond the causeway. basically we just wanted to go sumwhere and rest, and not having to deal with the any long distance travelling, packing and planning.

and so we decided to book ourselves a room at rasa sentosa. the last time we were here was on the 13th of sept 2005, my birthday. i was heavily pregnant, and feeling extremely lazy and immobile. irfan was due a week after that.

i suppose we do get in this habit of booking ourselves a room in the sunny island itself, each time the lazy mood sets in. not a very good deal, i noe. but, like i said, we can get really lazy sometimes.

anyway, irfan had a good time turning the hotel room upside down. or more like, turning himself upside down. the bath tub and the balcony was his favourite. the more dangerous the better. he prefers levitated areas, great for him to climb and a great way to instigate some kind of heart attack for us!



we brought him to the beach, under the sweltering heat which im not fond of. but he didnt care about the heat i suppose. the hotter the better.



and of course, he got excited over the swimming part. The one thing that would definitely make him squeal in delight.

and then, there was the walk around sentosa. many things have changed and i hope for the best for sentosa. it has so much potential u noe, but so far its really not attracting the crowd. but there was a massive jam when we came and when we left so i suppose there's hope.

and then, there was the father and son teamwork, working together to grasp a balloon which was way too high. things we do for a balloon. detemination, perseverance; great values to impart. and what better way to do it, then to go get that balloon.


so u think they could get it?

anyway, for the pics go here.

Do u noe that talking too much can be hazardous to ure life and other's sanity?
especially when you are angry and your words just nevr appear right?

It's best u get a grip of your mouth and hold it shut for a while.
and think
of the repercussions
of verbalising the negative thoughts in your one sided mind
then maybe u can refrain from turning evil INTENTIONS into ACTIONS
which you will one day regret,
even though u might never want to admit it.

evil intentions are not wrong (maybe)
until it is made known
publicly.

So try your best to hold it in, would u?
even if it means putting your hands over your mouth.


Ahh..that's better!

Blogger hates me.

So im TEMPORARILY at http://designitoo.multiply.com

Im back in NIE after E-learning week last week. Last week, we just had to do online discussions and reflections FROM HOME for the whole week. i really dunno what to hate about this course. well, aside from the travelling of coz.

anyway, last week was a much rested week. i think all these slowing down is turning me into one lazy person and i cannot for the life of me imagine how my life would be like when school really starts for me in Term 3. back to madness, skipped lunches and long hours.

we r now busy preparing for our overseas study trip. my group is going to the phillipines. ?! what luck! we were given a list of countries and had to draw lots. Looking at the kind of luck ive been getting, i wasnt surprised when we didnt have the luck to go NZ and australia, the best two countries on the list. well, then again "best" is subjective.

thr group that is going indonesia ended up going to NZ as well because of the flood and im just praying for something to happen in phillipines just so we could go somehwre else too. hehe. very selfish i noe.

i can list a thousand and one reason why im not keen on this study trip. on the top of my list would definitely be being away from Irfan. how am i going to wave to him at the airport come Mrach? I would be away for the whole one week!! that's the longest i will be leaving him so far.

and then of course, there are the paranoid thoughts of plane rides, Abu Sayaff, guns and a long list of other fears which i am too shy to reveal here. :)
But these paranoid thoughts ae not baseless, hokay!

some said we r lucky to be going phillipines coz, it's not a country u would go to for a hoilday. and if not for opportunity like this, you would never get to see that country.and then there's that beautiful island CEBU, which is a must-see.
it didnt make me feel better.

but go, I must. and march is just round the corner.

and i suspect my bag would be full of instant noodles, canned food instead of clothes coz i heard food is really difficult to get there.

im still trying to psycho the husband to follow me. hehe. i dunt mind phillipines one bit if irfan and husband is around.

oh well.

i will bring mangoes for everyone, though:)
