MY THIGHS ARE KILLING ME!
Been busy as of late, with exams coming up again- rushing to complete report books and stuffing as much information as I can into the heads of my F3s before their exams start on Saturday. Whether or not their brains can take the info overload is something else...
Been too busy even to be polite and finish up my thank-you cards for the wedding. I've been "doling" them out in parts... Some people have gotten it and some haven't..if you're one of those who haven't, trust its on the way or just let me know (don't shy shy laaaa). I don't want to miss out anyone and risk offending somebody. ("How come he gets one but I don't?" kinda thing...)
Been to Belalong and back over the weekend. Up and down Ashton trail, down to Sg Mata Ikan, up to the canopy walk, and then up some more on the ACTUAL canopy walk contraption... Suffice to say my legs DO NOT WORK. My knees keep giving out on me and i walk like a DUCK.. just going down stairs, not going up :) Will take me a couple of days to recover.. the pain is quite agonizing :( Been ages since I've posted up pictures so once I'm done with the report books (i'm multitasking at the moment!) I'll upload some recent pictures..not really sure if anyone cares to look, but its for those who do...you know who you are <3
Love

JULY UPDATE
It's been a while that I haven't updated-due to various reasons, one mainly being that we've been busy getting ready for the wedding (1 month 2 days to go!), plus blogger has the tendency to "malfunction" on me, which is quite irritating loh..
Other than that, been doing well. H1N1 is making its rounds around the country, causing panic and major profits for hand sanitizer and face masks manufacturers :) Those Disney Eskulin hand sanitizers that I usually buy on a regular basis are also out...panic much??
Also had a look at our "new" place. Its amazing how God is providing for us, as the house is FURNISHED. What do we have? A sofa set, coffee tables, tv console table, dining table+ chairs (which i'm thinking of replacing)a stove, a huge fridge (i like!), a washing machine, beds (we'll get NEW mattresses), dressers, cupboards...what do we need to buy?? Carpets, pots and pans (i want a huge chinese WOK!), plates, cups, cutlery, perhaps a wall clock, and all the cleaning supplies. Praise God that we don't need a HUGE budget to move in!!! Exciting!! We'll definitely have more sleepovers now! The girls can come over and I'll leave Stephen in the master bedroom and I'll join the girls in the two extra rooms :) And ok, vice versa if the boys have a sleepover... (now boys also want to ikut2 slumber party:P)
Other updates: Wedding invitations are out so busy being a postman now :) Ppl have also asked me to set up a gift registry... I feel a bit paiseh loh, like asking for gifts... what do you think.. SHOULD I SET UP A REGISTRY??? hmmmm...

MARCH ALREADY!?
Ok it's March... in 3 more days, it will be 5 months EXACTLY to the wedding day...*panic attack* I STILL cannot fit my dress, haven't found a printer to print the invitations (HE says its ok even if it comes out in May O_o), haven't bought shoes, my veil, discussed flowers/bouquets... SMALL details, but BIG event :S On the brighter side of things, we're going there today to confirm our booking at Manggis Mall (yes ppl, the reception is at Manggis..sigh.. so much for a small one at Kiulap Plaza). Plus, we're still $700 short on our wedding bands, but I'm pretty confident we'll get it paid by the due date (April 5?). Why do weddings cost so much? Don't say small weddings don't cost a lot, because they DO! Even ROMs cost money ok? I can't wait for it to be over so I can stop stressing over it hahaha GET IT OVER AND DONE WITH!!
Ok, I suddenly realised this is so unlike my usual posts... Stress much? :S
Ron...I know you told me before you left that you wouldn't be home for the wedding, and today I was just checking my Evite and saw the red X next to your name and it made me sad... again.. I miss you! Seen any sheep??? :)
Sharon, if I had lots of money, you KNOW I would fly you home for the wedding! Wish you could be there :(
Oh and did I mention I've got a 10yr reunion to plan too????
*faints*

JANUARY 2009- A NEW YEAR, A WHOLE LOTTA STRESS!
Happy New Year to everyone! Hey, better late than never :P Been busy lately, with the start of the new year and the first term back at school. New classes and new students...not too bad, although I do wish that the noisy ones would be quiet, and the quiet ones talk a bit more...ahahah hard to satisfy kan?
I hope this stress makes the pounds drop off!
*note to self- EAT LESS*
I do like my timetable this year though... every mondays and thursdays i have the first 3 whole periods free! (thats about 1 1/2 hours) hehehe but then, I pay for it by having a chock-a-block Saturday, and by the time 1245 comes around, I'm half-dead and half wanting to go to YDM and the other half of me just wants to plop on my bed at home and sleep the afternoon away :( Me no like... So if you guys don't see me too much at YDM, do excuse me, I'm only human with the stamina limit of an unhealthy 26 year old hahaha
Other than that, D-Day is coming *panic*
Guest list too long!
No money!
Too fat for my dress!
Let the hysteria begin....
Oh, and Gong Xi Fa Cai to all you ching chongs! :P Happy ang-pau collecting :)
