09:11 p.m. educating sunday

I'm trying to set a day in the week where I can spend 2 focused hours on reviewing my notes before my classes on Wednesdays. Rosza and me were talking about it in the car and we decided that Tuesday would be the best day to do it. So on Tuesdays, after Aryna is tucked in, I'll be studying.

Today we had breakfast at Wendy's. I had the chilli and cheese spuds which was so so. I preferred the sour cream one I had with Aryna a couple of days back. But their shrimp sandwich that Rosza had was super yummy! I have to remember to order that the next time. It was so yummy that I didn't dare to have a second bite of her sandwich 'cos I wouldn't have stopped eating it. Anyway the place is perfect for a weekend breakfast. It's at Lau Pa Sat so when we got there we found parking by the side of the road immediately and as most of the stalls weren't open yet, we had none of that usual touting business.

The day was pretty much relaxed, we were free up until evening when we went back to Downtown East for a bbq dinner with Rosza's family.

I got electrocuted this morning though. It was the water heater in our shower. It wasn't earthed. Somehow the wire got loose. We've had that heater since we first moved in. I took a look at the insides I saw the earth wire was disconnected. Of course I couldn't remember how I wired the damn thing 5 years ago so I didn't know where to put the wire back to. We decided to get a new heater instead.

Well that was the weekend. There's a game on tonight that I'm staying up for. Arsenal and Man U, that would be a game to watch so I'm gonna watch.

01:26 a.m. february stars

Life's been hectic in January, especially at work. But it is always the case every year for January. New beginnings, everyone's excited, people go to primary 1, secondary 1 and some get their scores for the O levels. Been taking it in my stride though, chin up chin up. Rewarded myself to a game of football with some guys from work last Friday. I bought a new pair of cheap Nike boots and an even cheaper pair of football socks. Played at the Ghim Moh MOE language centre where the field was uneven and the goal posts were small. It was dead tiring but thoroughly fun. It's been a couple of years since I stepped onto a field to play footie.

I've heard somewhere before that if you're a football fan, you play more than you watch. I think it makes sense. Hence this revival. Plus, I really need to get rid of this belly! It has no place in my life.

Last week we were at the East Coast for a chalet. My sister turned 36 (tsk tsk I'm right behing you kak..) so we had a chalet for everyone to celebrate. Then today Rosza's sister also had a chalet/bbq to celebrate her turning 19 on Monday so really, I can't complain at all about our weekends. I do miss hanging out with my friends, though. I hope they still remember me cos I sure do remember them.

But today, Erza's bbq was more for her friends, we just dropped by with the food supply and to say hello. Tomorrow evening we'll be there again, where it's for family and I get to play with firestarters again. Fun fun with firestarters haha.

Rosza got her an entry level dSLR, the Sony A230. I was taking some pictures with it and I have to say it is really really not bad! The price, $621, is totally reasonable for a 10.2 MP dSLR. Jealous. A bit. I wish I was nineteen.

I've been unable to express myself well in text these past few weeks. I'm not too sure why.

Thank goodness for videos

She was watching the video mashup I made of our wedding. In fact, the video's somewhere below in this same page. She kept saying ayah funny whenever she saw my face. Hahahaa! Now that is indeed, comedy.

02:45 a.m. 4 hours of sleep.. now u know it's the weekend

So later today, Saturday, I'll be at work. Cos of the O level results. They're out and of course everybody's hyped about JAE, JCs, polys, watevs.. Year in year out, there'll always be this elite group of people who submit their online application at 3.55pm when the closing deadline is 4pm. Then they'll call back 10 minutes later saying that they've changed their minds and want to make amendments to their 1st, 5th, 7th and 8th choices, and maybe also a tall latte to go if you have an espresso machine back there.

Oh yes, I will be serving these select group tomorrow. I can't wait.

Funny thing happened while I was at the doctor's the other day. Having these bouts of violent coughs, I couldn't take it any more so I took the day off from work to see the good doc to get the strongest meds ever that would hopefully make me better, like right now.

So everything was fine and the doc looked at my throat and lungs and took my temperature, gave me a prescription and 3 glorious days of MC!

Then she sat back down in her chair and asked me about which JC would be the best choice for her kid who just got the O level results.

.........
.....................!!!

I'm glad the doc's nice and I really didn't mind spending all of the next 30 minutes answering her queries. We even talked about posting policy. Hahah not bad ah can talk shop. It was so funny, while talking with the doc in the back of my mind I'm thinking, 'It's like I never left work'..

Well okay chatter later, now it's time for sleep.

Still got a slight cough but getting better, slowly. I'm just staying away from eating stuff that could worsen this thing, like fried food and cold drinks. But sometimes I just can't help myself.

Like the other day, Rosza bought this packet of Adabi flour that you can fry and when it's fried you dip it in chilli sauce and then it tastes totally awesome! It's like instant jemput jemput, the best instant one I've ever tasted.

The new season of American Idol started yesterday and thanks to AI, Rosza is now a fan of Victoria Beckham. Hahahaa. I've always been a fan of the Beckhams. I told Rosza that Posh Spice uses Botox but she doesn't believe me. Haaha I know it to be true.

10:41 p.m. a drive with kris kross

This morning Rosza had a thing at school so it was just me and the kid hanging out. We went for a drive, an aimless drive, and ended up at Donnie, the one at Serene Centre

Aryna calls McDonald's Donnie. When she sees the golden arches from afar, she'll cry out, "Donnieee!". The other day she got a happy meal toy, an Optimus Prime transfomer, and when she saw the toy on TV this morning, she said DOOOonnniiieeee...

I was sick last week. A terrible, terrible fever, I was down and out cold. Rosza woke me up every couple of hours for my meds and bath. Glad to have her around and at the same time, guilty for having her have to take care of me.

I can't believe it's already getting to the tail end of Saturday. WHAAT!

The new year didn't start out perfectly for me, was terribly sick, had to rest most of the time. Truly it sucked.

The way I figure, it can only go up from here!
