Guess what! For the past 4 days, I spent most of my time at home, trying to recover from my runny nose and sore throat. Seriously... I am quite upset. I am so susceptible to the flu virus. I am really tempted to take the flu vaccine. But I hate injections.
Cal has also been coming home super late like at 9.00pm. He is ultra stressed out by work and he has turned into Oscar the Grouch! I ain't going near him. I will just leave him to his PSP games. :(
The good thing is that I have finished setting my paper. I think it could be rather challenging. Sec 3B ... better work harder. I have finished setting the paper and it is not an easy one!
Tomorrow, I hope I can go to the gym. Today when I walked the dogs, I coughed so hard, i nearly had an asthma attack. Apparently I have not fully recovered so I should not have exerted myself. I also chose to walk Miss Turbo, Bubbles... She literally dragged me along today. I should have walked Russell. ( I have been walking him the past few days.) He walks so slowly. Bubbles literally laps him. She could walk the entire estate and he would just cover one block. He is really slow. can't blame him.. he is rather old but still so handsome! hahaha.
My holiday is coming to an end. I spent my first two days in bed. The next two days.. .setting my paper. Now I only have 3 days left. I hope I can catch up on some marking and catch a movie before I go back to school. I want to watch 'Street Fighter The legen of Chun Li'. I love action movie and I like Chun Li. When I was younger, I used to play the arcade game:street fighter. I like using Chun Li but I am not very good at it. My hubby is a huge street fighter fan. He used to play it everyday in the arcade. Now, he plays it on his PSP. I also want to watch 'Hotel for Dogs' and 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' So many movies so little time!!!

So far my holiday wasn't fun! On Friday, after the hike at Sungei Buloh, I was rather exhausted. Cal and I decided to eat at Bedok Food Centre. We decided to do something we have never done before: We ordered everything from the Grill stall. (We usually avoid fried, heaty food because whenever I eat those food, I will fall ill.) We ordered grilled stingray, fried kang gong and fried oyster egg. Everything was hot and spicy and I could feel a huge ulcer forming. As a result of our super spicy and heaty meal, Cal had diarrhoea and I had an ucler growing...
On Sat morning, I went to East Coast Park for our AMKSIAN Family day. I had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the tug of war game. It felt so exhilarating when my team won and we won quite a number of matches but we end up clinching second place. Nonetheless, we felt really good after each win!!! My class brought a lot of food but no one was eating them. Everyone was busy playing!! My doggies and Cal joined me later in the afternoon. We had a relaxing day at the beach, strolling around and just enjoying the cool breeze.
In the evening, we visited the IT fair. It was super crowded. There were people everywhere! We walked for hours and we emerged exhausted albeit happy because I managed to buy a superb camera with many freebies thrown in. I have been wanting to get a better camera. My old camera was really outdated. The people in my shots had to remain really still in order for me to capture them. Hence a lot of pics often would come out blurry..
On Sun, I rushed out to get Pearlyn's birthday present. She is turning 21 this year!
While shopping, I felt rather listless and my throat was seriously getting very painful. After I bought her present, we walked the dogs. As the grass was slippery, I slipped and fell headlong onto the pavement. As a result, I scrapped my palms and knees and I lost a piece of skin from my toe. Ultra painful!!!! I nearly cried in pain. When we reached SWA garden( where we were celebrating Pearlyn's birthday), I was grouchy. I was hungry. My throat was sore and my foot hurt. However, we had fun nonetheless. Later, my cousins even came to my place to hang out. Some of them played cards while others played mahjong.
On Mon, I woke up with a terrible headache and a burning sore throat. I was rather upset. I was looking forward to going to Malacca. I just wanted to get away from Singapore albeit a short trip. Also, I have not gone to Malacca ever since I was 10. I was all geared up. I even got a new camera! But I knew I would be a liability if I were to go on the trip. So I informed Victor that I had to give Malacca a miss. After my phone call to him, I took some medicine and slept. I only woke up at 11 am for some soupy fishball noodles. I managed to stay awake till 2 pm. Then I slept all the way to 8 pm. I rushed down to see the doctor who gave me antibiotics, lozenges and flu medicine. I met my cousins who were downstairs having their dinner . They had gone out the whole day. My cousin from Malaysia and my aunt from US were in town. So all of them went out for dim sum. Sigh.. I missed that too and I love dimsum. They wanted to come up to my house to hang out but when they saw how I looked, they told me to rest instead.
On Tues, I slept the whole day too. I only woke up at 5 pm. groggy but feeling much better. I tried to surf the net to look for passages for setting my exam papers. I found a few. I tried setting the paper but my head was swirling so I did not not manage to do it.
Today, I woke up at 10.00 am. My mum asked if I could drive her, Jeremy, aunt jessie(who is visiting from US) and Don for lunch at ampang yong tou fu at Uppper Thomson. I agreed. Anyway, I needed to eat and I had to go to school in the afternoon.
When I reached school, I spent my time planning for next week's lessons and then I sat down to set my exam papers. I am so happy. I managed to set half of the paper. I am so proud of what I had achieved in 4 hours!
For the next few days, I intend to set the rest of my exam paper, mark some scripts and enjoy what is left of my holidays. I hope I can take Don to watch a movie too.

I have been so busy: exam papers to set, some research to be done and marking to catch up on. I also had a terrible time printing the results slips. This time round, I have been very careless, making several mistakes which led to much frustration and wastage of paper and I hate to waste paper. I am the kind of person who would shrink the size of consent forms just to save paper!
Also, there are so many things going on. My poor form class.. They really have lots to do. Besides the mountain of homework they have to complete, they have to build a castle structure based on recycled materials and also work on their English AMA. I am very worried about their AMA. It will constitute their term 3 marks. I hope they would produce a high quality product. Anyway , I am rather pleased with their Term 1 results. Some of them did really well scoring about 4 to 5 distinctions. On the whole, I think they are quite pleased too with their results. Of course they must push themselves even harder. I hope they would spend their hols wisely, by catching up on their weaker subjects like what I have mentioned in the 'remarks' column in their result slips.
Also 3B is working on the same AMA as 31. I am worried because 3B seems to take it too easy. I kept reminding them they need to do well to boost thei English marks. I got them to meet up and discuss the topic that they would be working on and they seem rather interested. However, I am still worried about the quality of their video clip.
A good thing about this week is that I am starting to eat healthier: I made wholesome wholemeal sandwiches with lots of veg to school and also packed salad lunches to school. It is a big change from my usual breakfast fare of fried noodles, mee reebus or roti prata. I hope I can sustain this for the next few weeks to come. I am also exercising more this week: aerobics and long walks. Today, I brought my Guides for a hike to Sungei Buloh to allow them to complete their testwork and also to take a breather from school. Sungei Buloh was really serene, its tranquility sometimes broken by my guides incessant chatter and occasional singing. There weren't many animals to see. We caught sight of some birds, monitor lizards and squirrels. I was hoping to see a crocodile. My hubby's friend told him that she once saw a crocodile sunbathing on one of the trails when she visited Sungei Buloh with her friends. They took photos and quickly did an about turn. They didn't want to become the next meal for the croc! Something exciting did happen though. We saw some wild bees and we ran as fast as we could away from them. We actually walked a lot today, close to 6 km or even more. We ventured quite far and walked for 1.5 hours. It was not really exhausting because the weather was superb: nice and cool. Also we walked at a leisurely pace, only quickening our steps when we chanced upon a swarm of 'commando' mosquitoes! Fortunately I was not stung. I sprayed loads of insect repellent!!! But some of the guides weren't so lucky!
Tomorrow, we would be going to East Coast Park to celebrate AMKSian Family Day. I am looking forward to it. I can't wait to see the beautiful sandcastles that we would be creating. Also I am looking forward to bonding with my class. I signed up for tug-of-war with them. I really enjoy playing this game!!!
