Sunday, 3rd April 2016


 KiCo's Yiyi suggested that we go to Wild Wild Wet (at Par Sir Ris, which Kiki read as Paris). LOL.
KiCo enjoyed themselves tremendously, both of them, ganged up with my sis, pressured me to take the Ulah lah mega float slide. They are all braver than me.







Promotional price with NTUC link card- $69 for Family Package.
Normal price $74

 These pictures are from Wild Wild Wet's website.
The above is the Ulah lah. Kiki and my sis took the ride twice before Colin wants to join. So we asked the staff, and the staff measured Colin's height to ensure he is of the minimum 1 mtr tall requirement. I was surprised that Colin wants to play this, I would have thought this was too much thrill. For me, it was already too much thrill but after a few rounds, it was really fun. We had a wonderful time yesterday, this will make a happy, core-memory for the kids and I. I wonder where my bravery mojo went. I used to have the membership card at Fantasy Island Sentosa, used to take all sorts of rides without second thoughts. Now a days, fear factor became higher... Well, good thing got my sis to nudge us along. 

 The man-made wave beach

 The water playground is made up of mainly these kinds of slides, smaller ones for children.


 Leisure drifing.









 Face was so red and wrinkled, I had a shock. Quickly used the face mask when I got home.

 Pain ar!!!!!!!!!!!!
Red hot chilli rubbed on my back, it felt.
Can't sleep not just due to the pain but............ the pain of the heart.
I have lost my relationship with Bren over his drinking habit.
I would never have thought that this would be the cause.
When we dated, for a decade he didn't drink a single drop of alcohol. Many times, I used to urge him to have a glass or even a sip especially when there was a happy occasion but he wouldn't. Even when I had my drinking binges before, he was the one looking out for me and drank only stuff like coke.
But in these past few years, it was like the dam had given way. 
Every single night he has to go and drink and I became a 望夫石, you know, the stone woman with a baby in her arms, pining for the return of her husband. What kind of day and age is this, how on earth did I become the lowest of low.
So last night was the worst of worse night. Not because of the fire burning sensation on my back. It was the fire burning sensation in my heart. 3am and still not home. It was the first and only time I've called him on the phone over this and I lost it. Selfish ass hole don't have a care if I worry or if I could sleep or if the kids had waited up. Next morning have to wake him up like a mule. 
We are broken and it had been broken for a very, very long time. I don't wish to hope for changes anymore. I just have to protect the hearts of my children and strut on. 
For the sake of my kids, I need to compartmentalize this. Turn the tap off this one. 

 Slowly cooling off but still painful.
Cancelled meeting my customer because I don't think I can keep to a straight face when the fabric rubs my back.

The last word- "TREASURE" was quite hard to find.



The fish was not nice. Funny smell and we didn't finish the fish.
The ribs were as per how I've remember, its unique sour-sweet.
I had a drink to celebrate her coming birthday. Own-self celebrate, no one else was with us.
The drink was too strong. Got dizzy afterwards.
Lots of tequila in there.







 Tried on eye colours at the make-up counter.

 She asked for small gift tokens for her classmates. Including herself, 30 pieces of self-inking stamps. She has given thought on who gets what design. Can you remember all 29 new friends? I guess so ya.







 There was nothing I could think of to buy for her. So I bought her what I used to love- The MasterMind game set. I loved this game. Sometimes, very frustrating to crack the code but overall, always satisfying. The Kiasu me, took such a long time to crack it. I think I took half an hour! -_-" So Kiasu me. As for her, she's new to this, we'll have fun learning this game again.

 After class, going home.


 Kiki's Chinese Class has all sorts of current affairs, social & community news clippings, the teacher reads and involves the kids with various exercises.


 For an example, this is her "dream" for the Red Box.
(she dictated, I wrote on a piece of paper, she copied the words onto the post-it)




 Bren made baked potatoes

 My Aunt Julie came over with some stuff she bought from her recent Malacca Trip.


All Powdered Up


Friday evening I returned home to me bedroom and saw these dolls freshly powdered.
LOL.

Define Food


We had Show & Tell this week and this one goes into grading. Whatever stuff in Term 2 will be graded but....... I don't have much gusto these days. I just do all the same things- Chinese spelling X 2, English spelling X 1, Violin practice X 2, Piano practice X 1. No time to squeeze in worksheets and trying to make reading back on bedtime track.

Show and Tell these was - My Favourite Food. 
She named the green, soft, Pear as her favourite food and she presented her speech in class. 
However, she got anxious that her other 29 classmates all talked about dishes (eg: Nasi Lemak, Salmon Rice, etc) none of them talked about fruits. Furthermore, her teacher told her the theme is "My Favourite Food" and not "Fruit". 

Well, I did consider this before we wrote our script but I had decided that a fruit is also food so I hope her teacher would just grade her on the presentation skills and be open to the fact Fruits are primitive Food.

Student ID EZ Link Card


The P1s have just received their Student Pass yesterday.
Kiki says the card is also a stored value card for payment at the school's canteen, her friends have started using their cards yesterday. But I haven't put in any money yet (?) did MOE give us some money with it? Shall check this out over the weekend when I top-up the card.

With the card, it would also mean..... no more free bus & MRT rides................................
