In JUNE

28 June (Sun)
completed Twogether, a travel documentary by Lee Seung-gi and Liu Yi Hao... i miss travelling... to the extend that i was looking at domestic travelling in Singapore for the one week break in July ... wahahaha...

went to visit mummy with Alvin... it's her cheat day, mua chee & bobo-chacha... =D



then accompanied Alvin to dinner @ northpoint...


27 June (Sat)
dozed off on the sofa while watching Doctor Prisoner... woke up at 3+ am and moved to the bed... the 2 pups were hopping to get up on bed and so as usual, i carried them up... i must had carried brownie a little too abruptly, a little too rough, a little too high... she panicked, scrambled and shivered badly right next to my face ... the shivering was an indication that she had PEE-ed where she should not...
true enough lo... this mega dum dum had pee-ed a snake on my bed, my bolster and on my hair when she stepped all over me... angry max 😡😡😡!!!

i carried her and placed her in my toilet... i knew i would frighten her further and she would create even more mess with her uncontrolled pee and poo if i were to raise my voice or whack her butt butt... so as usual, i 忍 ... if one day, i die from 内伤 or 内出血, confirm is due to either her or her stupid useless dad...

So in the super early morning of a supposedly do nothing Saturday, i bathed and washed my hair TWICE, changed and washed the bed-sheet, bolster cover & comforter, scrubbed and febreze the mattress and had to go back to sleep on the sofa... =S

this was how she slept when i refused to forgive her and asked her to dont touch me and to go away


and this is her when i finally softened my tone
忍了, 认了, 这就是做笨🐶妈妈的命 !!!



26 June (Fri)
put on my black dress for work this morning and it felt tight...

had mac hotcake meal for breakfast with the level teachers

had wingstop 6 piece meal for lunch with PAM + 1

no wonder the dress is tight.... =S


went to visit mum after work but she kept chasing me home...
really sad to see her back in the hospital...

even sadder that her weaker leg seems to be bent and she feels pain when we try to straighten it...

it's like all her effort at physio these few months just went down the drain...

super heartache and angry that her life is so unkind to her... she should be and could be enjoying life now yet she physically cant... life is just so unfair to her... why must human come into this world to suffer ???



25 June (Thurs)
honey green tea with pearl to reward myself for a postman job well done these two days... counting, sorting, packing, labeling, delivering, coordinating courier services of brochures and flyers to 26 kindergartners... hahahahaha...


happy mummy with the porridge Angela cooked for her.. =D


enjoyed my dinner of glutinous rice dumpling that Eng Siew gave with mummy and Angela over the phone... heee




brownie looked like she was trying to wink... so adorable!!!

my lychees turned brown after nearly 3 weeks in the fridge... still edible though... still sweet and juicy on the inside... =P


24 June (Wed)
subway cookies for breakfast... =)


3 hours of packing 400+ school brochures and 800+ open house flyers to be delivered to 26 kindergartners nearly broke my back on this cold cold day... and personally hand deliver 2 stacks to the two kindergartners near the school on my way home...


super hungry, super cold, so cook a pot of hot hot tom yum mee suan soup for dinner...


and my favourite mango as the fruit of the day... =D


Alfred's on duty to visit mum at the hospital today and he did a group call so that we could all look look see see mummy...


Dr ordered puree food for mummy ... she hates it !!!

did all sort of tests and scans liao but still cannot find out the cause of her muscle spasm... hope she can be discharge soon...



23 June (Tues)
小白兔的起床三部曲







a blessing to wake up beside this cutie pie every morning... =D



Julia bought chicken rice with egg @ $3.... cheap cheap!!! i like!!! & the chili sauce was super shiok!!!


rushed to KTPH immediately after work as 蔡 mummy was admitted... she was having leg muscle spasm on her weaker leg ... she had to be warded for more scans and observation but due to the current covid-19 situation, none of us could stay with her... =S


dinner @ the hospital bench... memories of her brush with stroke last sept came back... memories of you visiting mum with me came back... not a fantastic feeling... =S


took a hitch home... driver 'oopx' 一声很大声... he forgot to put on his mask before leaving his house... he asked if i have any extra... i told him i have at home and i can pass it to him after he send me home lo...
gave him 2, an extra to keep in his car in case he forgets it again... tatatata, 就这样 cleared 1/20 of #9 kindness challenge on doing 20 random kind acts... =D

decided to keep two masks in my bag for just in case too... two occasions of having to run home cos forgot to put on mask when going out le... =S

found this angbao when i was keeping the masks into the side pocket of the bag...
guess i will never know how much is inside this birthday angbao since i will only open the previous year's one if i receive a new one... the familiarity of your letter 'y' and 'g' brought tears... too much of u in my thoughts today... not good...




22 June (Mon)
received these from P for being in Open House committee... hahahahaha... i guess giving tidbits as reward &/or appreciation is a common trait for teachers, past & present....


Huishan had craving for atas fried rice from Crystal Jade...
cost $10.60 for this 蛋炒饭 and is really 蛋 - 炒 - 饭... no other ingredients or garnish... heart bled...


came home to a love note.... awww

21 June (Sun)
in matching red today... =)

yummy dishes by Angela and Salomi that had mummy asking for more rice... Yeah!!!


sweet potato in sugar syrup... not as crispy as the last round but still very yummy...


蔡五宝 - Ong Ong

Angela suggested that we play one 东 round of mahjong to 'distract' 蔡 mummy from her round the clock netflix-ing...

sorry for the super high-pitch... was just very thrilled that 蔡妈咪 didnt have to arrange her tiles according to families nor in order... she only needed help to arrange the tiles into row of 18/19 at the beginning of each game...

she teared because she was so happy that she could play mahjong... her only source of entertainment was netflix-ing since she was discharged from hospital last November... i guess weekly mahjong will be back in 蔡家 liao... hee


she won a 门清臭平胡 oh... =D


to prove that i'm very serious about the "A Very Special Walk Challenge 2020" that i signed up yesterday, i even created a record sheet ... wahahaha... super boliao... but i just like to keep records of stuff... =P

completed 1/10 of kindness challenge #8 of tipping $2 to my grab driver for my ride home from the chuas' today... hee

OMG !!! I'm so excited !!! cos i bought a big present for myself !!!

OSIM udivine mini @ $844



the affordable pricing caught my eyes months ago but didnt buy it previously because it was more of a want than a need but now it has become a NEED...

been having stiff shoulder and neck due to long hours of netflix-ing during the circuit breaker period and the aches dont seem to be getting any better even though i'm back at work for 2 weeks already and is spending way less time on the sofa...

i think this is the first time i spend so much on buying an item for myself leh... =)


12 June (Fri)

in the end, didnt report to school today, took the chance to work from home since i have no teaching class on Mondays... compiled an art module on drawing with PowerPoint on sls that will engage my P4s and P5s for at least 3 weeks of art... =)

tonight is 蔡三宝's 先生下厨, i super gave face and ate my own portion + 3/4 of angela's and 1/2 of alfred's... and top it with a cup of gong cha... 撑死我...


a song on Grab's radio triggered tears; 

你曾经说过你是好人, 你也承诺用你一生來爱我一生。
可时间证明了你不是, 也没信用做到。
你是一个可以用谎言达到目的, 去伤害用真心待你的人。
在你一无所有时,我信任你,支持你,
但在你有那一点点成就后,就觉得我们是两个世界的人而看轻我。



6 June (Sat)
home sweet home was so quiet cos the pups were out for grooming ... so i pampered myself with a bottle of coke after my usual mee suan soup lunch...

it was a productive day today... i cleared both my work review and strength & weakness excel sheet ... also indulged in 电话粥 with laurice for 2 hours...

pampered my face while waiting for my babies to come back from their 'spa'... heee

luving the shield... teaching in the mask is suffocating and smelly... =S

3 June (Wed)

sweet treat from Sylvia, the talented artist who drew these cards for MX's next kindness project

洪妈妈 categorized my snack box.... wahahahaha.... she's so cute!!!

yummy snack to chase away the blue from receiving the stack of rubbish paper packed with lies and 不要脸 demand from a !@$%^& ...




2 June (Tues)
though i only fell asleep after 1am last night, i was up and refreshed enough for school 3 minutes before the phone alarm went off at 6.30am... this scenario of waking up just before the phone alarm goes off happens so often, i seriously think that my brain can pick up "i'm about to go off" signal from my phone alarm lo...

was in a happy enough mood to want to look decent... made use of the 4 weeks' dress down opportunity to put on a pretty white blouse with black skinny jeans and my white canvas shoes... even pet on some face power to even out the colour of my face though half of it was hidden by the mask... =P

this was considered effort on so many levels for a super bochup for work me... first having to match and put on blouse and jean is double the effort compared to my usual work dress despite knowing that being in jeans is too hot and tight for my liking... wearing canvas shoes (+socks) is triple my usual effort compared to my usual slip on flats (without socks)... some more pet power on face wor... i must be feeling super excited for school after being 'locked up' at home for the past 8 weeks.... wahahahaha


dropped my ezlink pouch on the way to school... handmade leather pouch with my name embossed - gone, elmo ezlink card - gone, $20 in the ezlink card - gone... what a 'good' start to the first day of school... heng can just use bank card for bus & train...


cleared the draft for the "A Day in the life of a P1 Farrerean" script with Alison in less than 30 minutes... luv the efficiency... 


Pesthetics Dept birthday celebration for Julia, Xindi & Cherandy at 12nn... cakes from Starbucks for the hatchday babies... =D
