Time

Met Karen to watch Jurassic World yesterday and while we were having dinner at pepperlunch, we were talking about how kids grow up very quickly and suddenly it became...

"小孩子一天天的长大，我们一天天的变老。"

It's scary how time flies. Sometimes, I feel so confused. When I'm looking forward to something I want time to pass faster but yet at the same time, I don't want time to pass so quickly because I don't want to grow old and it is scary to see how quickly time passes.

The 3 weeks of holiday just flew pass like that, it will be back to waking up at 6am next week. I have been sleeping only after 1am this few days. I promise myself from today onwards I will be in bed latest by 11.30pm. Until when? Haha, that I don't know.

SEA Games Carnival

Went to the SEA Games Carnival last Saturday after watching the swimming heats at the OCBC Aquatic Centre. The carnival is located just beside Stadium station.

 

Wanted to register for the hot air balloon before we went for the swimming heats but didn't managed to because both of us were not wearing covered shoes!!!

But to be honest, the hot air balloon doesn't look too fun because it doesn't free flow and it doesn't fly to a very height. Haha, or maybe we were just sour grapes cause we don't get to sit.

Went to get our carnival card. Collect 5 stamps by playing games to get a badge.

Our Carnival Cards and Us

Hockey Golf

Off to collect some chops with hockey golf. Haha, don't judge me by the way I hole the hockey or my posture, my ball actually went into the hole. See how enthusiastic I am wearing the carnival crown. 

Getting myself inked

 Haha this tattoo didn't last. By lunchtime, the tattoo was already all gone.

 

After this we kind of gave up collecting chops after walking on water and hockey golf because the games were all the kiddy or the queue was damn long. When we were there at around 11, the next session for laser tag was 2.15pm.

Saw interesting people walking around so it's photo time!!! 

 They had a Nila skit in between. It's the same skit that they performend when they went down to the primary schools.

 After taking this photo, I was looking outside and guess who I saw? I saw NILA!!! Immediately ran out.

 It is damn hard to take photo with NILA because everybody wants to take photo with him, so you have to be fast and be the first to rush up to him.

After that went to play with segway before heading down to MBS to watch the dragonboating competitions.

 

Initilly I was abit scare because my driving/cycling skills all damn bad. But this is damn cool!!!

my 25.90 shirt

Took me super long to decide if I wanted to get this shirt.

I feel that the carnival is really catered to small kids. Like kids who are kindergarten and below, or maybe primary school children also, because most the games were not suited for adults or teengaers. There were really limited activities which we could take part in. Haha, but I'm happy because I got to take photo with Nila!! Achievement of the day.

3 Things I'm Grateful For Everyday

I was watching Kang Xi Lai Le and they suggested that every night if you think of 3 things that you are grateful for, you will be able to sleep better. I shall try this and even though I already sleep quite well every night, let's hope this will give me a more positive mindset and a happier mood everyday.

2nd June 2015
1) I am healthy and still alive. Yesterday I happened to see on facebook that Shone An from Comic Boyz passed away due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 32. It was terribly shocking because I didn't know he had cancer and I just saw him on Kang Xi Lai Le last Thursday.

2) I finished my target for laminating and cutting today. I calculated wrongly the amount I have to finished yesterday, I have 4 days instead of 3 but this means I ahead of target!

3) Auntie Meiling bought me breakfast and iced milk tea this morning! :)

3rd June 2015
1) I have no problem sleeping be it day or night. I guess it is something I should be grateful for seeing how I don't suffer from insonmia. I wanted to exercise today and yesterday but I ended up sleeping :o

2) Today can wake up slightly later because work starts slightly later.

3) I got to eat about 10 wantons for dinner today.

4th June 2015
1) I finished my laminating and cutting.  Just need to arrange accordingly tomorrow. 

2) Auntie gave me a free egg when i bought noodles today. 

3) Today while waiting for bus,  within one minute i saw the bus coming.   

4) Siew Ping bought drinks and Mei Ling bought hum ji pang for us.  

5th June
Almost forgot to do this today.

1) Sze Yin bought us drinks today.  

2) Ate till very full at hdl. Although quite sad no manicure. 

3) Today is the last day of work for the semester! Woohoo

6th June

1) I took photo with NILA!!!

2) Went to my grandma house for dinner. 

3) Saw a game record breaking swim at the swimming heats. I'm suddenly enthusiastic about SEA games so quite disappointed the swimming finals are sold out.

7th June 

1) My nephew can crawl already!! So big boy already. 

2) Saw singapore score a goal during the hockey match. 

3) Once again I am grateful I'm alive. Life is just so unpredictable. It is saddening to see students and teacher passed away during school trip which should be an enioyable event.  

Snippets of Work

Shall change post titles from funnies to snippets of work since that seems more appropriate. 

J: Just now, xxx said that you are a princess.
Xxx: Ms Chen, you and xxxx are princesses. Mdm J is the Queen. Auntie E is the queen's mother. She is the empress. 

Not bad, now i become a princess.  I like. 

E: Ms Chen,  are you okay?
Me: yes,  why?
E: I thought you might be having a fever. 

Me: If I am tired,  should i go home and rest?
E: Yes, you should go home and rest after a hard day at work.  

O: Miss Chen, why are you always smiling?

Me: Huh? I don't always smile. I scolded you all during xxx class. 

O: Can you show me how you scold? 

This is the second time kids say I'm always smiling, but for adults I think the image they get when they don't know me is that I'm very dao.
