of course ,..stuff happened since my last update but really... no mood to talk abt any of it...just the usual rendition of tears and laughter...
but something worth mentioning happened on one Saturday,where I went to Ira's sch. She was a subject prize winner for English in the Express Stream for last year.Besides being a prize giving day, the sch was also celebrating its 30th Anniversary. We were supposed to be seated in the hall by 7.40am but then again, SOMETHING happened to spoil the morning.She went off to sch 1st to get ready for her Band Performance.In the meantime, we got ready.Suddenly,I got cramps and was not able to - I repeat - not able to even walk. So frustrated.I told myself I'm not gonna miss this for anything,including the damn cramp.But seriously,the pain deteriorated and I gotta "rest" for a while..b4 u know it,...we were running late.I told myself that even if I have to fake a face,I'm really gonna drag myself there.Upon reaching the sch,I literally rushed to the hall, just in time to see that Ira HAD ALREADY RECEIVED HER PRIZE!....AARRGGHHH!!!!!
U have no idea how frustrated I was. If only. If only I had reached there about a few mins earlier, I would have witnessed her big moment. Altho this was not her 1st time, I have always made a point to be there when my girls went up to any stage to receive any prize of any form.But this was the 1st time I missed it! I cursed myself for it.Felt so apologetic to her but she gave me a rather forgiving look from her seat.Felt like giving myself and hub a punch. (Well, I gotta share/shift the blame on somebody, shouldn't I?)
But then, its ok..most important,I was and am still proud of her. Went about the sch to savour what the sch had put up for the day. Shows, extravaganzas, games stalls, exhibits - u name it...but the best one has got to be the food that has been catered for everyone.There For the parents, ours was located on the 3rd flr and I think I was certainly the 1st to dig in because obviously,when I opened the 1st buffet tray, it was still untouched!...seriously, the food was goooooooooooddd!!!..there was so much food,I now remembered that I forgot to eat some of them!..hehe...Anyway,lots of Kudos to the sch and the caterer : delihubcatering.com.sg
Halal lah.... The embarrassing part? Me and adik tried to smuggle some delicious éclairs but they got squashed in my bag and therefore, I gotta throw them...so sayang...dolat agaknya...but then again,kita bukan curi apa...kan memang diberi makan kan?..

Oh God..

3rd July...

Went to melawat.
I lost another relative younger than me today.Pity.
Went from late morning to evening.
I felt drained....really drained....
Didn't eat the whole day.Just had a bottle of mineral water.Legs go wobbly after hours of waiting.After the funeral,the reality checked in. Felt like passing out on the way back.
Oh....by the way, I was alone. So alone. So lonely.
Do u know what is the feeling of being lonely?...
Horrendous....

Festival of Ideas

Yet another time lapse....

Anyway,...before the start of the new Semester,..I was sent to MOE for the 2008 ExcelFest focus group discussion on how to further improve and enhance next year's festival.Was thrilled to share new ideas and we had a good brainstorming session.My team came up with a pretty good slogan fit enough to be considered by the Exco. The Green Apples (that was what we call ourselves)comprised of myself as the Group Leader, Georgina as the Table Host, and members Joan, Sheila, Elizabeth and Nurul. The best moment for me was when my team was saved for last and while giving the speech during my presentation, the i-studio which housed around 40 of us, roared with supportive applause. We were only given 10mins to draft our ideas but I took a max of 25 to deliver my speech. Members from the other teams stopped me in my tracks to compliment our points.It took about 2 and a half hours for the whole session to wrap up,in which refreshments were provided but I did not take a single bite...oh well,..I'm not missing it..

Took some lame pictures along the way,coz we were in a hurry to finish the given tasks.When I emailed the pics to the rest of them, Elizabeth called me "Brainy"...reminds me of one of the Smurfs with that big, black glasses over his blue face...hehe..
All in all,..had a great time and our team proved to stand out among the rest when we came up with : "ASPIRE TO INSPIRE"
