Back from leave

Never-ending email, queries, things to follow-up!!! Alamak, what’s going on???

Planned to go gym today but got to cancel as I have to bring my laptop home tonight as I have a morning call at 7am tomorrow & there will be calls at 8pm to 11pm on Thurs & Friday!!! OMG!!! I need a break!!!

My Secondary 1 form teacher

While helping Johnson to find out what is the requirement for DSA, I visited my Secondary School’s website & was glad to find my Secondary 1 form teacher teaching in the same school & he won the Caring Teacher Award!!! Congrats, Mr Tan!!!

Not sure if he will remember me if I were to drop him an email (alamak, no email address posted on the website)… he reminded me of Temasek Square (the drain cover where we have to stand if we can’t answer his question).

Falling into the deepest sea

My kids got their papers yesterday, I was shocked!!! Johnson got a pass for his Science & the rest … …

I gave up talking or nagging at that instant, I do not know what should be the appropriate reaction for that moment, had my dinner, did the minimal housework & headed straight to my bed (I was an ostrich at that very moment).

I refused to think nor talk, I can’t sleep too, I felt that I’m falling, falling into the deepest sea with my whole body relaxing, no struggling… no point crying or had I run out of tears? I believed you did your very best & the papers were really too difficult for your level. I believed in what you (they) told me, what can Mummy do to help??? I guaranteed even if you tell me, more computer games will help you pass your exams, I’ll let you play for 24 hours but please ensure you got good results end of this year (am I trying to sarcastic). Tell me, please spend some time to think about the resources you required!!!

I must be nuts… my kids never visit this blog at all!!!

Happy Mother's Day

Found Allyson & myself appearing in Carpe Diem's blog, thanks Nellie & George for posting.

"Mommy, I love you

For all that you do.

I'll kiss you and hug you

Cause you love me, too.

You feed me and read to me

And teach me to play,

So smile 'cause I love you

On this Mother's Day."

My 1st sharing session with my team

Took several days to prepare the training materials & did some last minute update last night & today is the sharing session… very nervous.

As usual, my teammates are very supportive & we have a good laugh before the session started. It went on smoothly until… … … (hehehe, you must be laughing when you read this).

Good morning!!!

I have to travel by BMW (bus, MRT, walk) to work after LG quit his job. It took me an hour to reach the office & I hated the journey - everyone's rushing & roads packed with vehicles.

While I was walking across the road, the uncle (security guard) shouted “good morning!” to me & without 2nd thought, I shouted “good morning!” with a wide smile on my face. Wow, uncle remembered me, I greeted him whenever I see him at the building entrance.

After a short distance, I saw the Malay security guard who used to work on night shift, smiling & waving at me through the glass panel. Another smiling face!

Upon arriving the office entrance, I said “good morning” to the guard & he smiled & returned with these 2 words “good morning”!

When I was at my desk, the cleaner aunt said “good morning” to me as she cleared my rubbish bin. Wow, isn’t it great!!!

Just 2 simple words, it really brightened up my boring day/trip!!!

P.S. Rosz told me that I'm a simple & easy contented person. But I just love the feeling of people reciprocate the same greeting we gave them everyday!!!
