an anonymous colleague gifted this box of love after hearing me cough & cough & cough some more the day before... =P
and this box of love was supposed to be huishan's breakfast from the serviced apartment she is currently staying at but it didn't match her poor + selective appetite so my tummy 赚到 lo... tasted quite good after i heated it up in the microwave... =)
yummy thai lunch with cy
28 Sept (Mon)
what the PAM department put ourselves through to entertain our kiddos for this year children's day... the 2 hours of leaping, crawling, bending 要了娘娘我的命...
27 Sept (Sun)

else i would have missed out on the chuas' korean BBQ that was made possible with a frying pan on an electric heater .. =)
yumz yumz yumz.... sizzling good...
such a humongous & cute Miss Mango but 无福享受 cos it was still unripe...
26 Sept (Sat)
these newly hatched 'ga-ga' on the window caught the attention of J & J and they spent a good 10 minutes exterminating them with sprays of insecticides before we could start our lesson....
spent the rest of the day either on the sofa or in bed with the pups to let my back have a good good rest... 4 weeks of back pain liao... i really hope it's not slipped disc... =S
25 Sept (Fri)
was excited when i read the news that all teachers will be receiving a set of Soaper 5 stamps...
looking at them, i think they are just for keep hor ???
today was the only day this week that i could go home straight after school at 1.30pm... quick quick packed lunch home to enjoy.. =)

19 - 20 September (Weekend)
even though i 乖乖 ate my medicine and did the stretching exercises 'prescribed' by the doctor, my back pain felt worse... googled and read that most muscle strains will take 4-6 weeks to heal... oh my 天 !!! means still have to suffer for another one week +/-
Grab dim sum to make myself feel better.... =D
($11.70 inclusive of delivery)
after many many experimentation in different sleeping & sitting positions, i discovered that the most comfy position for me now is sitting super upright against the back of the sofa and placing a cushion on the curve of the lower back... i even took a 2 hrs nap in this position... =D
i also found out that a combi of cough syrup and the stronger painkiller for severe pain made me 'floaty'... i thought i was 灵魂出窍-ing and i felt so tall... the drowsiness/ hallucination made my feet looked so far away when i looked down at them... wahahaha...
18 September (Fri)
一起睡乐乐... =)
was feeling super weak, drowsy and back was still so super pain... just as i was wondering if i should cook or Grab lunch when my 大救星 popped by with a packet of prawn noodles for me... =)
17 September (Thurs)
brownie's squishy feet were right in front of my face this morning... =S
lower back has been aching badly since 3 Tuesdays ago... i couldnt bend, couldnt sit up from bed without support, couldnt carry snowie & brownie without feeling the pain in my back... i credited it to me getting older...
it only drawn on me that it might not be just a backache when i couldnt sit longer than 15 minutes on my staff room chair on Monday without feeling a sore sensation running down my right leg... the right leg was also having pins and needles sensation so frequently and easily that i had to keep fidgeting in my seat while i worked on my laptop these two weeks... =S
to make better worse, i have been sneezing because of the cold weather these few mornings... and with every sneeze, there's a sharp pain on my lower back... it was non-stop sneezing this morning, the pain was unbearable... so to the doc i went cos i could foresee that i can't do my LC duty which requires me to sit as still as possible for 40 minutes so as not to distract the candidates... =S
besides 2 strengths of painkillers, doc also gave me a month supply of vitamin B12 and a list of exercises to do... hahahaha...
hopefully the pain will go away within the next 3 weeks else doc says i will need to do xray &/or MRI ... OMG !!! i really feel so unhealthy and old...
'collaborated' with Yuan's and CY's kiddos to make birthday card #15 & #16 out of 20 for the residents @ welfare home...
16 September (Wed)
learnt a magic trick at today's Resilience Program for my kids... heee... i can use it to amuse my art class when i want to introduce a famous artwork next time... wahahaha...
two consecutive long days at work this week... somemore no happy food in school cos my usual food order-ers were both not in school... so i rewarded myself with my favourite buttermilk chicken upsize meal for dinner...
i felt old and happy pairing my Mac meal with a cup of HOT TEA....
i felt even older as i listened to Teresa Deng's songs while i worked on Character's Day SLS package...
15 September (Tues)
updated my desk partition with this year's love notes... =)

the rss group came to visit 蔡妈咪 today... xiuting reported first as he had to leave by 315pm for papa's duty ...
while the rest came later at 330pm as they had to accommodate to their kiddos' weekend classes timing...
kimchi seafood fried rice with sunny side up from Angel's kitchen today... it was so good, i tabao-ed 2 portions home...
card #5 with liza...
with the first, i told myself... wont be so unlucky the second time... with the second and finally with the third, i finally realised that i am indeed unlucky max + 眼睛贴 stamps ...
so for now, i'm determined not to let anyone messed up my life ever again... no matter how persistent, how cute, how sincere u are cos none of this is worth the effort nor the pain years down the road... 总挑甘蔗男, 开始是甜的, 到后面都变成渣...
happiness is so easy every single day with just me, myself and I... =D

today's my turn to accompany mummy to Yishun Community Hospital for her routine check-up...

Alvin came to join us and we had dinner at Aone after the doctor's consultation...
seeing that she was so serious at looking through the menu, we waited very patiently for her to tell us her choice...
she closed the menu after flipping it from cover to cover TWICE and said ... "随便"... 😅😅😅
bundle of 4 set meal was what we had then...

but it was these 4 tubs of ice-cream which took my money.... heee
this passing around of ice-cream tubs made me laugh
and laughed alot more while watching 'Just Follow Law' with the Chuas... partly at the show and more so at Alvin, who was acting out the funny dialogues ... 😂😂😂
this made me laugh too when i reached home...
this snowy ah, blind still climbed so high then scared to jump down... paced left right left right, couldnt find the way down...then sat down there like a princess and waited for 狗妈妈 (me) to carry her down ...
