in May (School Holiday & Circuit Breaker)

31 May (Sun)
compiled another HBL art package on using PPT to create abstract art... momentum is coming back... happy happy happy... on the right track to start work in another 2 days' time... =) 


one whole can of rambutan + pineapple by myself for dinner... yummmm!!!


30 May
一个被 joyce & mab 碎碎念了五个小时的下午。 我是计了多少的福报到她们比我更担心, 更气我的不幸。 是我把事情想得太简单了吗?一切随心。。。

Managed to finish with the first art package on [Virus and Art] for next week's HBL for art... with the current safety measures and shorter lesson timing for many of my classes due to staggered reporting, recess and dismissal time, i am thinking of just creating SLS style art packages for all levels every week till the kiddos are allowed to move freely and share resources in the art room. 


29 May (Fri)
today is snuggle with 小白兔 day... =) 




ordered sambal sotong with rice and a bowl of seafood soup for dinner... $17.40... 

finally started editing Julia's virus art package for next two weeks' HBL 却偏偏碰到 sls maintenance from 9.30pm onwards... so 提 '早' 收工, 上床看 fb videos... 一看就是到凌晨三点多... =S



28 May (Thurs)
face shield that huishan ordered for the teachers arrived at home sweet home... gonna help distribute to the teachers next tuesday when school reopens... cost $6.90 each 



it's angela's hatchday and she was craving for hotpot... and she had to prepare it for the family herself with the help from Salomi... she's the only one who's willing to step into the kitchen... =P

蔡 mummy sang her 2 birthday songs...one in english & then in mandarin.... =D 


super yummilious salted caramel chocolate cake... 
Happi 26th Hatchday Angela... May you always be happy & healthy ... 


27 May (Wed)
really is surprise... thanks huishan for gifting me 2 bottles of pretty galaxy... these fruit juice from The Juicy Way looks like glitters in a bottle... would my pee be glittery after??? heee.... 

spent the first half of the day on the bed with the pups as i really didnt know what to do, what to think and what to expect...  thoughts just kept circling and circling... 





哎哟 ! 怎么办
哎呀 ! 真糟糕
小胖的眼睛
怎么不见了 !!!

   
anyway, thank god for MX who asked for a video call that got me out of bed... felt so much better just having someone to talk with when i was in that circling mode...

eventually followed my logical brain and chose the action of non-action which calmed me down lots ... 就算了吧, 不想因不甘心而把自己弄得更辛苦 !



26 May (Tues)
 couldnt focus... couldnt sleep... couldnt wake up... lots of circling thoughts... anxiety... helplessness... 



25 May (Mon)
MX's hatchday... Zhuan prepared a hatchday treat for MX and i received a share too.... hee


yummiest yam rice that i had ever tasted.... thanks Zhuan... 


这个 angle 的 pom pom 小胖真可爱 !!!



23 May (Sat)
在 39 岁的年纪开始有老态的现象了,喜欢喝热茶. 

kimchi with fried chicken rice bowl for dinner... must be because of all the k-dramas that had kept me occupied these two months... 

thanks to all the korean dramas and chinese dramas on netflix for making this circuit breaker so much more bearable... =) 


知道妈咪心情低落而要抱抱的小白兔


两年前心碎的嚎嚎大哭到如今彻底绝望的掉泪... 
有进步 !!! 加油 !!! 会过去的 !!! 
虽不甘心被冤枉, 被欺骗, 被辜负, 被始乱终弃, 
但你内心的罪恶感, 家人朋友轻视的眼光会替我惩罚你。

Time will heal.... Time will tell...



22 May (Fri)
it began as a great day... a year ago today, you came home and said "这次回来就是一辈子了"... i still remembered replying you that it has always been "一辈子" for me since we got married on 2 Jan 2011... i am one who always uphold my promises and my end of any contracts... 

work progress was good... discussion with team partner Alison was good... although i have yet to talk to her face to face before as she's a new transfer in just before the circuit breaker, we seems to be able to communicate and work together quite easily... she is super efficient too... i like... =) 

mood was good so energy level was high enough to even vacuum the house and wipe the floor... wanted to use the mop but dont know how to... 洪妈妈 had bought such a 'sophisticated' mop that 按也不对, 踩也不对... that's y is WIPE the floor, not mop the floor... i literally used a cloth, squat and kneel on the floor and wiped the tiles one by one...  so 洪妈妈 really cannot blame me that i didnt clean the house enough during this circuit breaker period... 

happily went grocery shopping at NTUC 


and bought my favourite fried chicken wings set & teh peng for dinner... 

but clumsy me knocked over my tumbler and spilled more than half of my teh peng... wanna cry!!! 
mood was so good for the day that this didnt even upset me... not even when i had to shift and 'flip' this mega stone table around to clean up the whole mess... i even found it hilarious to have to carry the table machiam like a huge dinosaur egg lo... 

energy still high enough to even want to start on my art sls package for the next HBL for school reopens but 晴天霹雳... read an email and felt so wronged... i compromised, i accepted all your nonsense and yet i was labelled as controlling and that my behaviour was intolerable... using lies to get your way shows how heartless and ungrateful a person you are... 


一只一边, 妈咪睡中间... =) 
还好有这两只宝贝s‘ 满满的爱


21 May (Thurs)
adding to the higher energy of the day was lene's text that she had ordered lunch for me AGAIN!!!... 我的朋友都怕我会因为懒得吃而饿死... hahahaha

she said "在不同的地方吃着一样的食物" .... so ro-man-ti-ca seh!!! 
actually this 又酸又辣的午餐 with cold lemon tea was considered threatening to my tummy on this day 2 but how could i say no to good food packed with so much friendship love so 吃先再打算... =P 

spent the rest of the day bugging angela to help me with the CCA video... i am so glad to have talented siblings who are ever so 'willing' to help me with my work... wahahaha

pom pom 的小胖看电视...



20 May (Wed)
first woke up by 10am, it's a bad bad pain pain day... drifted in and out of sleep and only managed to roll out of bed after 4+pm... 
hot lemon & ginger tea paired with my 蓝色小药丸 to chase away the pain... 

not in the condition to cook and dont wanna make myself feel even more miserable with the kind of food i cook... wahahahaha... an excuse to order good food - Ajisen Teriyaki Bento set.... 

had a little extra energy to doll up 5 of my nails with leftover stickers while i watched BIG ... yup, only one hand is done.... heee 


19 May (Tue)
woke up to non-stop vibrations of the phone... and found that i was well-protected by my pups... heee

后身一只毛茸茸, 头顶一只乱糟糟... wahahaha



made an essential trip up north
 yummilious durian puffs from lene @ 4pm


woobbee at 6pm... Thanks Raymond @ horizon for remembering my love for woobbee since 2015... =) 


 my favourite - Passion-fruit Green Tea with Aiyu, 0% sugar & no lemon 


爱心面线 @ 7pm... 


18 May (Mon)
happy to woke up before 7am today....nua for 3 hours plus then went back to sleep for another 4 hours plus... luv school holidays... wahahahaha...

not much appetite ... couldnt think of anything i want to eat even when i had the mood to go grocery shopping... in the end, had prata with ham & cheese omelette and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows while i watched "Wok of Love"... 

completed the last 4 designs for the "Super Parents" project... Yeah!!!
told mx i'm on leave from card making liao.... after making 15 designs for "Congrats on your Recovery" and 7 designs for "You are Amazing", i ran out of ideas to the extend that i'm not even pleased with the green & yellow cards that i made today... =S 

& lene is AMAZING too.... not only did she contributed 2 well wishes towards the "Congrats on your Recovery" project, she asked her friends to contribute as well and EIGHTEEN of them responded to her plead... a BIG BIG BIG thank you to lene & her friends... =*


17 May (Sun)
not a fantastic day...=S... started with insomnia the sleep before... only managed to fall asleep between 6-7am this morning... so my quest to wake up more normally went awry again and only woke up to mx's text at about 2.30pm .... =S 

card making wasn't that successful too... took me super duper long to work out the design for the red one and it's only minimally acceptable... red is just too strong a colour for me to mix & match with ...  =S 
these cards are for a new project "Special Treats for Super Parents" and yes, i need to collect well wishes for these too... 

my lack of self-discipline to STOP finishing the whole pack @ one go resulted in an extremely painful case of diarrhea... left me so weak & drowsy that i fell asleep / fainted before 12 midnight... 



16 May (Sat)
 happy that i managed to wake up to my alarm at 1130am... 

with my fellow nua-sters


Online lesson with J & J @ 3pm then spent the next few hours anticipating my 'surprise' dinner from mx while i watched "Fight for my Way".... 

mx ordered grilled chicken burger with egg, sweet potato fries & bubble tea for me, for me, for me... woohoo!!! no wonder she was so confident that i confirmed will like what she had ordered for me.... heee.... blessed Saturday for my tummy tummy tummy... =D 

evidence that i finished off everything clean clean... heee

and i submitted Snowy's picture for this competition... kindly click on this link and like her photo in the comment... it's the first one of her sleeping on the yellow, white & black cushion... =) 

completed the last 5 designs for the cards.... Yeah!!!



15 May (Fri)
i slept before 2am yesterday and thought that i would be motivated enough to wake up normally before noon to make the cards but no no no, i woke up close to 1pm... got one hour free play on homescape... so i only got off bed after 2pm... 

took lozenges for the mild sore-throat and  took some cough syrup as i have been coughing every night.... bad move, got so drowsy that i dozed off on the sofa for another 2 hours +... my day officially started at 5pm... failed once again to get out of bed earlier... abit worried if i can adjust back to having to wake up at 6am soon... =S

decided to make pancakes and used an empty yacult bottle to measure out approx 60ml of milk to add to the pancake mix... hahahaha

first attempt was burnt but still edible ... heee

ham & cheese omelette & pancakes for the meal of the day... =D 

Created another 5 designs for recovered migrant workers patients of covid-19 at Bright Vision Hospital ... =)
& Laurice became the first to respond to my plead with a well wishes ... 감사함니다 (kamsahamnida) ... i need another 27 well wishes... 



14 May (Thurs)
on mx's request, i am helping to make 30 of the 220 "Congrats on your Recovery" cards for recovered migrant workers patients of covid-19 at Bright Vision Hospital ... 
completed 5 designs today... =) 

at the same time, i need to gather 30 well wishes to be written on the cards too... 

i wrote 2 so need 28 more... so if you are reading this blog post and would like to contribute, please do so in the comment ... i have until 20 May to compile everything... friends can just whatsapp me your well wishes... =) 

happy happy to have a project to motivate me to get out of bed for the next few days and also reduce my netflix time... 


rewarded myself with a mini magnum while i watched "Bring it on, Ghost" ... =) 

accidentally chanced upon the beauty function of the phone camera and adjusted it from the default 2 to 0 after almost 1 year of using my current phone... wahahaha .... very much prefer this real me look with eye bags, dark eye rings & wrinkles compared to the 'super powdered blur filtered look' in all my previous selfie since last June.... oopx... 



13 May (Wed)

mummy-dogter head-bump
  
Snowy has been bumping into walls, floor fans & cupboard since she was diagnosed with cataract last year... her long fringe is making the bumping more frequent these two weeks... wishing pet grooming to resume business soon soon soon if not the pups are gonna end up with a bowl cut fringe by yours truly soon soon soon liao ... 
  
好乱又好臭的小胖!... this one is even more desperately in need of grooming.... i had to wash her butt butt on almost a daily basis now.... =S  

I'm Mrs Hulk ... tried to pacify my pimple outbreak with an avocado mask while i continued with "My Love from the Star"... =P


11 May (Mon)
high pony tail before sleep got transformed into a pretty enough 起床头 at 3+pm.... that's how messed up my sleep routine has become this circuit breaker...

10 May (Sun)

8 May (Fri)
one of the few inconvenience faced in this circuit breaker is that dog grooming service is not available...

7 May (Thurs)
had virtual lunch with lene today + chit & chat for 4 hours++...  她的理念和以前没多大的变化... 好羡慕啊... 我也好想我还是三年前的那个我...
