First time blogging in a playground. Such a different feeling typing a post in the playground. Tuition starting at 830pm cause the Malays have to break fast and says their prayers and by the time everything ends its gonna be quite late. Starting tuition late means ending tuition late? Hmm.. Will try to end it ASAP which means no side tracking, no break at all. So, starting tuition later also means that I have more free time, thus, explaining why I'm at the playground now. And this playground holds lots of memories for me. A place I used to play years ago when I was younger, when I'm still staying here. Remember there used to be a maze right beside my house where my brothers and I with our neighbours used to played and gather during moon cake festival. We will bring down moon cakes, tea, yam and of course not forgetting our paper lanterns. The lanterns that we brought has to be made of paper so that we can burn it after playing with it. Remember us going into the maze and sometimes getting lost in it. Especially me, the only girl there and the smallest one there. I will never forget my fear of entering too deep into the maze, and the things my brother used to tell me before I enter, " if you're lost, just hold your lantern high up in the air and we will come and look for you." and my fear of the fire extinguishing after I stepped into the maze. Despite having the fears, we always had fun during this special occasion.
Looking at my surrounding now and much has changed. The environment has changed the people has changed too. The maze is no longer there, our neighbours, no longer as close, as we grow older. Even as a family, our sibling relationships have also drifted. We still talk, but no longer that speech of concern and care. How time flies and how things have changed. If only everything will just stay the same, which is impossible?
Right. Enough of reminiscing the past. Just some updates of life. Whole of last week only went out on Monday night to go for signergy rehearsal. The rest of the days either went home early or went down to my mum shop (quite some time nv travel down after work). And every time I went down, I'm sure to buy some food down to eat. Bought Taiwanese food, bought strudel ( banana with choc syrup, durian and apple). Was craving for strudel on fri and decided to buy it right after work and share it with my mum, don wanna live my life with regrets, so got craving straight away went to buy it le.. Especially liked the banana with choc syrup and durian flavour de! Very delicious. Sat went down to NDP with min jiang, dropping by bugis first to have lunch and walked around buying stuff, spending quite a bit there. =X then train down to cityhall to skate to F1 pit. Saw Wilson, Olivia, Marcus and ji sheng on the way there. Rehearsals ended with quite a heavy downpour for a while. Reached home that night with a terrible sore throat and slept my way through for the whole of sun, waking up at 11 to go for lunch, reach home at 2 and slept all the way to 4, woken up and went down to skate for a while reached back home at 6 and slept all the way till 9 waking up for dinner and some readings. Was feeling terrible for the whole day and mon went to work unwell too. Gulp down different kinds of medicine, holding on till end of work, cab home, pop pills again and went back to sleep again waking up around 10 plus for some readings again, skipping dinner, no appetite at all, oh wells.
So today woke up feeling better le, then went to work as per normal, but having no voice to shout at the children and they totally ignored me today. :( so just let them do problem sums to keep them occupied during their free time. Lucky all of them managed to complete it by themselves. :) like the sense of satisfaction to see my children being able to complete work by themselves, which means they learnt and understand my lessons. :)
Time's almost up. Gotta go teach tuition. Wish I can just sit and stay here for a little longer. It actually feels quite good to be here, at this point of time.
