When the going get tough, the tough get going
It's strange how things in life goes... Sometimes u dread a thing, but when it happen, and you went with the flow, it just sound rite. And u'll tell yourself:

"Hey, maybe i can live with it"

But this is what i call a vicious cycle. In the end of the day, u are still living with the thing u dread. So whenever it approach, u are filled with dread. After it pass, u'll feel it's nothing, and life still goes on.

Dread, dread, dread...
I have been dreading to go tuition ever since i started working.. It's not that i dun care for my students anymore, it's just that it's VERY tiring to have to go tuition after work. I want to go home and keep my Yoyo company!

Been feeling very guilty towards her lately, i can only keep her company for few hours each day.. She didn't even have her walk everyday now! only once, or if she's lucky and i'm happy, twice a week.. Come to think of it, we are REALLY free in our students' days...

GONE NOW

Back to tuition, i have tuition tonight, and i'm dragging my leg to her house.. But i can't let go, my students need ME (ego) to pass her exams.. and i had promise her mum that i'll teach her till the end of semester. So i'll go home at 9pm tonight. But tommorrow have company function again! So i'll knock off at 10pm...

So sad!

I feel so like a poor thing!! *sob

A Thousand Congrats!
I just found out that one of my hammy is pregnant. No, i should say, on the verge of delivery. This is so unexpected, i remember putting 2 boys in a cage, seperating the girl in the smaller orange cage.. nonetheless, the good news is:

"mother have a smooth delivery this morning" When i left the house, there's a pink hue of flesh on the wheel, rolling and wriggling about. *sigh Miracles of life...

Back to the topic,
So how do 2 boys do the deed and get pregnant?

No, hamsters are not homosexual, they are (nearly all) heterosexual. Only mine... (-_-")
Just kidding! I only mistook one girls as boys... So being alone in the cage together for so long, having babies is the next natural thing to do. Unless someone invent a chastity belt for hamster...

Out of no choice, i get the REAL boy out of their love nest so that the mummy can prepare for delivery, and put it into the orange cage.

THEN, i realise...

I"VE GOT 2 GIRLS!!!!!

The one at the orange cage was a girl! That's why it was seperated in the first place!! But that's too late, the moment the boy lay his eyes on the girl, it was love (or lust) at first sight. Pretty soon, they are having their rolls of tango, and proceed with the deed.

So, 18 days later, another delivery... Can someone call the midwife?

Joke of the Week
I was  on the train one morning, sleepy and lazy. After getting a seat, i proceed to continue sleeping till Tanjong Pagar.

Suddenly, when the train reach Dover... *horror*

A pregnant woman came in and plant herself directly in front of me!

How do i know it since i was sleeping?

Well, she wake me by banging her paper bag repeatly on my leg! Come to think of it, it must be her ploy to wake me. Idiot! (not that i'm mean and don't want to give up my seat to people who needs it more than me, but i'm REALLY tired. Try to sleep at 2am and wake at 7! and u'll know..)

I wake up, after clearing my mind,and proceed to an internal struggle on whether to give up my seat or not. And wondering why other people did not offer her their seat...

After thinking, I'm afraid of retribution. I want people to give me their seat when I'm pregnant. I'll go up to them, use my paper bag to wake them, then point to the small sign on "giving-seats-to-people-who-needs-it-more-than-you and say

"Sorry, i've 2 lives here" and give them my beautiful mother-to-be smile. ^__^

I GAVE UP MY SEAT

*sigh!

And the woman, ONLY giving me her constipated smile, and seat down.

it took me awhile to realise...

SHE"S NOT PREGNANT!
 
Yes, she's not pregnant at all! she just have a belly... Gosh, i dunno to laugh or cry! And she have the cheek to take the seat! Arghh!!

Helpless, i stand all the way to Tanjong Pagar...

I FELT SO CHEATED!!!

-Stage one-
Cleared!
Hubby finally cleared his first SCI (S'pore College of Insurance) exam--Health Insurance.
 
So temporary, i'm out of cold storage.. mind u, only for a day or two, coz the next exams is just 8 days away. *sigh
 
These few days, somethings been swimming in my mind...
 
Is it a sin to NOT LIKE someone?
I don't think so, coz the true is--Some people can be really unlikable. Not to the point of hating the person, but perhaps like what kids do "Don't friend them". You don't find them on your friend list, neither are they on the stranger/black list. Just wish not to have anything to do with them... Anyway, it's people choice to like or not like. That's life.. Its impossible to please everyone! but then again, if you find that MAJORITY of the people dun like you, then, there must be some problems with you isn't it?
 
Human are so complex. Why can't we be more clean-cut?
 
I'm feeling sentimental today.. Maybe it's under the influence of a tune my brother is playing from a game he just laid his hands on.. (I'm listening to it now) Dunno, felt so detach from myself...
 
It's like.......
 
 
 
ZEN!

Back in Cold Storage
Hubby is having HI (Health Insurance) test next Tuesday. And i'm back to cold storage.. I hate it, it make me feel like a toy, being keep away till the exams are over... Not that i can't stand alone, but being PUT ASIDE (note the capital) is another issue totally.
 
Not only do i have to put up with being "put aside", i have to put up with his attitude as well. Coz during this time period, he will suffer from acute PES (Pre-Exam Syndrom) which is a distant cousin of the women's PMS...
 
This particular syndrom will fill him full of attitude, with an occasional sacarsm. Which, in turn, will lead to me being extremely upset with him, while his moods change faster than the Singapore weather..
 
What could be worse?
 
Put aside or being the target of sacarsm? You decide.
 
Sometimes, i could be so angry that i'd rather stay where i am--Cold Storage.
And that's where i'm staying now...
 
Till next Tuesday.

Persistance
It does not matter how slowly you go,
As long as u do not stop


Saw this motivational poster today, set me thinking.

It's true

BUT

easier said than done.
How many of us can actually persist?

We can be hit by failure, can be demoralise, can have doubt, even at our own selves.. Who can really persist?

Those who make it, trust me, all ur friend hate u..
U r such a pain in the ass...

Don't believe? Let me illustrate it to you..

Salesman A: Uncle, pls buy this xxx product
Uncle : No need lah, i have at home already
(quite wierd, normally if people dun want to buy, they will say they have it at home..)

Saleman A: Uncle, buy lah. Please?
Uncle: Say no need liao lor.. Have liao ma..

Salesman A: Buy lah, uncle...
Uncle: NO NEED

Salesman A: Buy lah...
Uncle: .... *punch*

Persist for what!? people say dun want liao still persist...

Above scenerio is purely by my imagination. But i really see something like that during my lunch time today...

Another one is the flyer man... Say don't want liao, still force all those flyers in your hands...

Verge of sickness
Yes, while i'm blogging now, my immunes system is sending out SOS signal.. I doubt it can hand on for long. I'm having bouts of flu, block nose and a quite bad cough (I predict). *sniff* So all day long, i'm with my xiu xiu (all those who know me well will noe what it is--Vicks Inhaler!) I can't live without it ever since i let go of the ciggie..

Retribution
Read something today that put me in a dilema. If a friend is bad to you, would u still hold out ur hands to him/her? I actually had to stop myself from comforting this friend. It's not worth it, i keep on telling myself...

I myself believe strongly in retribution. As a buddhist, i believe in karma. Which means, what goes round come back. If u'r bad to someone, u WILL have ur deserve. It's just a matter of timing.

So if u'r going through a hard patch, or some misfortunate thing happen to u, instead of cursing god, maybe u should ask urself what had u done?

Well, not all misfortunate people are bad, some is to pay for misdeed of the past life time. THIS is call karma.

Of course, Karma is have more depth than this, one can't fully explain the whole theory, as u didn't know what u did in ur past life.

And as i watch the charity show last night, i feel pain that some people had to pay a lifetime, being tortured by illness, and by looking at how u had burden ur family. It's a sad thing to have a baby and then to find out that the baby can't lead a normal life and the parent had to look after him/her all their life. What would happen to the kid after the parent die?

Bottom line: Do more good deeds. But do not do it for the sake of doing it. Do it with ur heart...

Chilled
Finally got my Fish & Co! Mel & El, u r great! Finally, this week had come to the end. For this week, no tuition as me, being a very nice tuition teacher, always give my student a week's break from seeing me after the exam... (actually, it free ME to see them... haha)

Work wise, things should start clearing up after Wed. ^__^

Today's conquered:
I actually wanted to buy a few more pair, but the 2 women said they are too expensive, and refuse to support me... in the end, i can't let this go. I can't resist shiny accessories!

Something to ponder:

Some men like their women to be like cigarettes,
Tall, thin, and standing in a straight line to be pick

Some men like their women to be like cigar,
Looks better, feel better, and if the brand is good,
is usually use till the end

Some men like their women to be like pipe,
To be caress fondly, and grow fonder of it as time pass

Men can give u a cigarette,
Men can offer u a cigar,
But they will never share their pipes with u

So, all gf out there, are u the cigarette, cigar or pipes?

ok, reporting some scene on Jeremy's big day...
Bithday boy with his dear dear...
Donations...
*Spiderman theme!*

Speaking of Spiderman, today, i heard the spiderman theme song on the radio, it's sing by...

MICHAEL BUBLE!

Yes! With his powerful as ever voice, singing out the heroic of spiderman!!
But somehow, he make me think of spiderman in Moulin Rouge, So the scene of spidey dancing can-can dance keep floating in my mind... And instead of Nicole Kidman in the air singing "Diamond's a girl best frenz", i had spidey swinging in the air in webs singing the theme song!
