Its the 1st week of the June holidays
My son is down with flu, thanks to his eldest sister. I can't say its not H1N1 but I am pretty sure we were not in contact with anyone who has one. We have to put on hold some of the activities we planned.
I went out with the group of pupils who are in the SINDA group on wednesday... loved them. Such wonderful kids! We went bowling then had a meal together. We were supposed to watch a SingFest performance at JE MRT but unfortunately we were there at the wrong time and I am not sure if we were at the right place either..
Lately I noticed a change in me.... I am not so uptight about things around me. I guess I have to thank my eldest daughter who is always so assuring about how she views the world (on her good days). I used to have to be in control of any and every matter about me... good for my employers but not good for me. Nowadays, I have learnt to accept things when its not in my 'ideal world'.
I have actually started another blog page.. a more serious one abait. I am unsure if I can maintain both? So ambitious!

Some past time...
I enjoy watching Tears to Tiara.. Very light theme and good anime drawing. Here you have Lord Arwan, Riannon and her brother. I cannot possibly wait for the new episode after midnight on Monday mornings. So I either watch it on Saturday morning, which is 6 days later or watch it online.My husband has a client to handle at the moment, which leaves me time alone to do whatever else I want.
I was looking at James Cook University w.r.t. Master in Counselling... At the moment I really cannot spare 3 week nights and a weekend for the course. I can plan for it say 5-6 years down the road but then again, by then I will be looking out for something else.
For students who are reading this, you can go to www.ecareers.sg to do some sort of assessment to see where your interests lie and what job may possibly be suitable for you. Try it and let me know...

Sometimes its just good to wait it out
I did the unthinkable. I pressed the 'run' button to a programme that was suppose to play something on the internet. I did it twice actually. On thursday I ran Veoh programme. It worked and I managed to play my Samurai X... yes the sobbing episode.
On Friday, I was supposed to view something else and was prompted to download a .exe file in another computer. The moment I pressed 'run', I was prompted to run another programme.. so I did! Lo and Behold! My whole desktop disappeared and I was prompted to update some stuffs which I really have no idea about. Mind you, this was my work laptop.. where my many2 hours of work is saved in. I went OMG!
I turned on and off the computer a few times then decided that I have to face the TA on Tuesday and give an explanation... I can hear Mrs Siva's words coming my way...
On Saturday when I tried to turn on my computer again, it worked fine...
My daughter received an SMS from her best friend last night with a message, "You are no longer my friend." My daughter was visibly upset and was very frustrated that she was unable to call her friend back to ask what happened. I was concerned.. naturally and went on to try to come to some reason..Today, my daughter found out that the message she read last night was sent by her best friend's brother...
Well that's life I guess. In our bid to sometimes 'cure' or solve things, we overwork ourselves and our emotions. Its good sometimes to wait and see what is the root cause of most things.
In my counselling, I observed that although I lend a shoulder to cry on for my clients, its the clients themselves who create their own solutions. I never underestimate a person's capabilities in handling their own life or problems. My core belief has always been that the individual makes his/her own choices thus results in his/her course of life.

Lazy Sunday... Nice rainy morning.
Sarah's fever is still high. Last night she had to get up a few times to throw up her dinner and her flems. I was unable to sleep in anticipation of her waking up.
Had a neck sprain, thanks to a 'hard pillow'. Not sure what I want to do today, still deliberating. Need to buy vegetables. Was watching Tears to Tiara and am glad we do not have to hunt for food. Imagine having to go hunt, slaughter then bring back the meat only to have to process it. No refrigeration. I am glad I am born in this era...

My Anime Life
I must confess that I love anime. It initially started with Insuyasha a while back.. then there's Brian who made me watch Naruto ep 1. Then as usual my whole family started getting interested... Inuyasha took in the most number of episodes. Then we moved on to Nodame, D'oro, Fate/Stay Night, Tears to Tiara and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. The one that took the hit was Samurai X. I watched the 6th Ova Truth and Betrayal and cried... worse still, my husband is overseas. Samurai X came home to die in his wife's arms... How romantic can that be? My daughter came into my room and saw me cry and all she could say was ," Oh my God! Its just a story, its not even real!" I kinda expect that from my kids... they were brought up rather matured (unlike their mum!).
Today my Little Sarah is down with a fever (39.1 degree celsius). I too was exhausted and slept a good part of the afternoon. My husband is in a fishing boat as we speak. Mind you, Phillippines is ridden with a typhoon now... So many things to worry about... the kids' exams, the Yuhua kids, my hubby etc.

A breathe of non-stress air
Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, I have successfully completed and submitted all 4 of my assignments yesterday! The dateline for 2 of them are on 15th May but then.. Hey! I wanna shop till I drop this long weekend. So work hard then I play hard!
So what is it I am looking out for this weekend? For one, I need to buy beddings for my daughters' room. Buy clothes for my girls and myself. Hmm... then again maybe I should wait for GREAT SINGAPORE SALE? Have a leisurely breakfast at Adam road early in the morning (which I did just now). Shop around at West Coast or some neighbourhood shops to see what stuffs are about.
Haiz! How wonderful it is not to have to worry about an assignment not done... I guess thats why we need to have some difficulties in life. So that we appreciate the times when we have successfully accomplish our missions and are able to enjoy the less stress period.
My daughter remarked that She cannot believe that her mum blogs... The audicity of that girl! Nevertheless, she always enjoys reading my blog... and on occasion points out my spelling mistakes!
