UPDATEZWoo......... it's been a busy week for me! I have just started my freelance job on Tuesday. I had a fabulous time with the kids. I am teaching Creative & Dramatics Reading.....sound very "pro" right? But in actual fact, it's just simple drama and reading. The lesson plans given to me are so boring plus no teaching aids....so in the end, I had to come up with my own! That's why I am so busy this week! I am also starting another class next week....can't wait! I think I really enjoy teaching.
I am using up a lot of my brain cells studying too. Just did a presentation on poetry yesterday and I was rather satisfied with my "performance"! My exams are nearing..... and by mid August, I am a free woman!
And oh, Tommy has his own personal blog now. Click on the link to see what's going on his life!
Some updates on Joash:
He can run and dance altho he tumbles a lot too! His favourite words are "wait", "here", "go go go!", "where", "hi" and of course "bye"....... the last word is used to shoo people off.....haha! He had to say all these words to himself before he sleeps....Tommy and I find it so amusing. He is no longer on breast milk and is enjoying his expensive "Pediasure" formula milk! He still eats about the same amount of porridge.......sianz........ but with more snacks in between. He get really excited when he hears the word "yogurt". He will run to the kitchen and wait at the fridge. He even sit down quietly and feed himself.......... such a darling! He likes music a lot. His fave instrument is the guitar, follow by the drums....... whenever he hears music, he will pick up these 2 instruments to play. This boy is also getting very "manja". He sticks to me like super glue! But I am still enjoying every bit of him.
Ok nothing more to say......... so unlike me.....haha....maybe too tired la...... going to update Joash's blog now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!Haha....another song in just 2 days... but today is special cos it's my Darling's birthday! Dear, this song is for you. I am sure you remember me singing this song when we're dating right? In fact I first heard this song when I was sec 1..............Yes, it's that old (Their clothes and hairstyle tell it all!)....... but I hope our love will be sweeter as we get older ...... woo...mushy stuff.........keke.......this song by Surface is just so romantic. Click this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13F6ino_GT8 for the original version cos youtube does not allow embedding for this video! Just in case I couldn't sing it as well, go check it out...... it's quite a difficult song to sing!
DEAR, I LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
SHOWER ME WITH YOUR LOVE
My heart is filled with so much love
And I need someone I can call my own
To fall in love--that's what ev'ryone's dreaming of
I hold this feeling oh so strong
Life is too short to live alone
Without someone to call my own
I will care for you,
You will care for me
Our love will live forever
Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love that I long for
Shower me with your love
Shower me with the love I've been waiting for
I close my eyes and pray all my wishes come true
Ev'ry night I go to sleep
Until you're mine,
I'll wait for you endlessly
Can't you see
Fairy tales, they do sometimes come true
If you believe,
It could happen to you
Like the stars that shine way up in the sky
Our love will live forever
_________________________________________________________
Here's another birthday treat for you since I can't get the BK ones:
Hopefully I can get you a belated present
with my own $$$ next month......
Luv u, luv u, luv u, luv u!

FAVOURITISM IN THE FAMILY SISTER, 9, NEEDS TO STUDY INSIDE SO NOISY TODDLERS HAVE TO... JURONG TWINS AT VOID-DECK FROM 7AM-11PM EVERY DAY
By Hedy Khoo
July 09, 2007
You can call them Jurong's void-deck twins.
Almost daily, this pair of 2-year-old boys wander and sleep at the void-deck of their block, along with their two maids, from morning until sometimes very late at night.
The maids have to take care of the boys downstairs, apparently on the instructions of the boys' parents, who also have two daughters, aged 4 and 9.
According to the maids, they have to stay with the boys at the void-deck because the parents didn't want the boys disturbing their elder sister.
The boys have become such a fixture at the void decks that they have aroused the curiosity and sympathy of some residents in the area.
Neighbours said they could be spotted there from as early as 7am, till as late as 10 or 11pm. One resident, who wanted to be known as only Mr Lucien, called The New Paper hotline after seeing the boys for the last eight months.
DOWN ALL THE TIME
'They are downstairs all the time,' said the 52-year-old horticulturist.
'How can parents allow their young children to loiter around with the maids all day? The boys have a home, but they can't enjoy the comforts of it.'
Mr Lucien said he often sees the boys crying downstairs.
'I feel very sad, and my heart goes out to them. The boys cry, the maids try to console them, but they too end up crying,' he said.
'The boys often sleep downstairs, with the stone bench as their bed.'
With dengue epidemic, some residents also feel it is risky to keep the boys in open areas for so long. Another resident, a 55-year-old housewife who wanted to be known as Mrs Tan, said the boys' grandmother would usually come downstairs and stay with them after 7 pm.Said Mrs Tan, who has been living there for eight months: 'I find it strange that the family can afford two maids, but can't give one room to the boys, switch on the air-conditioner and let the boys stay there.'It's very pitiful, to see the maids rocking the boys to sleep sometimes, but they still hang around downstairs, instead of putting the boys to bed properly.'It's as if they are homeless. This is not the right way to bring up a child.'A resident, who wanted to be known only as Madam Ng, said that on one occasion she approached the maids and asked them to take the sleeping children upstairs.But they just kept quiet and remained downstairs, cradling the boys in their arms.
Said the 36-year-old housewife, who has two children: 'The void deck is not a home. 'I won't allow my maid to hang around with my children like this, especially when there is a construction site nearby.' Madam Ng found it strange that even on Christmas Day last year, she found the children and the maids hanging around downstairs in the night.'I remember I was surprised to see them downstairs in the night when we came back from celebrating Christmas,' she said. 'It's also not fair to the maids. It's actually more tiring than staying at home and doing housework.'
Their routine doesn't change even when it's raining heavily.
Madam Irene Tan, 45, a sales co-ordinator, said: 'It is pathetic. Even when it is raining heavily, they are still wandering around downstairs.
'It looks as if the boys are homeless.' She recalled: 'Once I touched one boy's forehead and he was running a fever, but he still had to remain downstairs.
'I told the maids I could speak to their employer, but they are so afraid, they asked me not to.'
When approached, the two maids said it was their routine to come downstairs at 7 am and they had to stay there until late at night. The maids could take turns to return to the flats to shower, have their meals and do household chores.
They said the boys' maternal grandmother stays with the family from Mondays to Fridays. Asked why they cannot stay at home, both maids replied that it was because their employers found the twins noisy, and didn't want them to disturb the eldest daughter from doing her homework.But it appeared that they had to be at the void deck even when the girl must have been at school.
When The New Paper approached the boys' grandmother, she gave the same reason.'The twins are noisy and their sister needs to do her homework. It's normal. Their second sister was raised this way, and she is okay,' said the woman, who declined to give her name.When probed further, the grandmother refused to reply and walked away.
When we asked the maids if their employers seem to love their two girls more than the twins, the maids merely shook their heads and replied: 'We don't know. Don't ask us, we don't understand.'
When The New Paper on Sunday tried interviewing the father of the boys at their unit, the man said it was his family's 'private business'.
He declined to speak further and slammed his front door shut.
NOT SEEN FOR 2 DAYS
According to Mrs Tan, the boys were not seen downstairs for about two days after we approached the father recently. But later, Mr Lucien said he saw the twins crying as usual at the void deck.
'It is worse now. I observed that they don't hang around the void decks of these blocks. The maids have to take the boys further, as far as six blocks away,' he said. Mr Lucien said the Indonesian maid had approached him and asked if he was the one who had called the press. When he asked her why she had asked, she told him: 'Nothing has changed. We still have to come downstairs.'Mr Lucien said the two maids looked tired and sad when they spoke to him.'The maids are hoping for some form of help,' he said. 'Something must be done.'

2 CHAIRS & A COUPLEJust returned from my CW class......... yup, another mind boggling lesson........ this time is personification, imagery, concept maps................... now I not only see stars, I think I see the whole planets system revolving round my head! I must say it really makes you want to learn more cos you suddenly feel that you know so little. Yup, more reading up!
I had dinner with a very adorable young girl today. She is my classmates and I am about 13 years older than her! She likes pink too! Btw, I am not the oldest......I think I am the 3rd youngest. There are 7 of us in the class.......hahahaha! Now back to the subject of my post......... why 2 chairs? I will continue from the dinner with the girl............. we had dinner at Long John Silver. I ordered my food and happily sat down on a chair....not knowing that the seat was not attached to the frame............. fortunately, I did not fall off. This is not the strange part.......... the strangest is when I got to class, I happily sat down on a chair again.....Guess what, THE SEAT WAS ALSO DETACHED!!!!!!! So scary............ 2 spoilt chairs in less than an hour.....weird right?????
Ok now for the couple bit. I was on my way back from class in the MRT (Yes, I take MRT nowasdays.... don't be surprised!) There were 2 couples in front of me. They were about my age. I was facing the backsides of one of the couple. As they were chatting, I noticed the guy's hand touching the gal's butt.....ok that's still ok until he started to "pluck" her panty (couldn't find a better word to describe it la!) throughout the whole ride........ he was just chatting away with his friends as he did that. The gal was enjoying it too........... she is quite slim and nice looking with big eyes but the guy looks extremely nerdy.......... he wore Armani pants......gosh, can you imagine a nerdy guy wearing Armani pants with his shirt all tuck in! Back to the "plucking"........... yes he did that in front of a whole row of commuters and right in my face.......... kill me pls! I just sat there hoping they don't fart in my face while "plucking". To all the couples out there, pls don't "pluck" yr GF or BF's undies in the public ok............ pls be considerate to the person who is staring at your butts..........haha! And I think it's just doesn't look loving or nice at all............ if Tom ever does that, I will surely scream at him...........hee hee!
ok, I just need to download all these.............. I am beginning to enjoy my rides in the MRT........... people are just so interesting!
