This morning, had a weird dream. Dreamt that I had just alight from a bus or so near my house. I was facing a car-park. There was a car driven by a lady. And at the passenger seat, there were other passengers. I only saw the driver side of the car so I don't know much about the other passenger. The passenger behind the driver was a younger lady.
I don't know what happened. As the car moved, the younger lady fell out of the car. She seemed alright then. The driver still don't know that her passenger had fell out of the car. She drove further and further away only then she realized that the lady had fell out and instead of stopping the car and walked over, she drove over trying to get close to the young lady. But she got far too close. Too close that the lady head went under the car. Either the head view was hidden by the wheel or her head got stuck by the wheel or the her head went under the wheel.
The driver came out and saw the view and started pacing about. Another passenger, a guy, came out too. He seemed to be communicating with the young lady but she seemed to be in agony. Nobody in the surrounding seemed to call for ambulance or help. So I called. While describing the problem and somehow, the lady was able to get unstuck by the guy and stood up. In my mind, I was thinking that maybe only her hair got stuck. So I told the person over the phone that the lady seemed alright and the person put down the phone and I left.
Not long after, I heard that there was news that something happened to the lady again. Something like one can never escape death even if there is anyone around who could detect unusual phenomenal would not be able to detect that someone is going to be brought to the other world. I woke up after that feeling my heart was going to pop out. I was so relieved that these were just a dream / nightmare.
I think I could get why I get such a dream. But what happened in my dream was not how I would know why. Called ambulance (Saturday, I called the 1st ambulance in my life as the doctor asked us to call for one for a patient).
Well, this is not the 1st time I had weird dreams. Yesterday morning, also had a weird dream but but not that weird. In my dreamland, I just overheard someone who said I can't go already. When I woke up and went to see doctor with my dad, I asked where my mum was and if we are going to pick her up. My dad said she went to the market and won't be going with us when the night before she told my aunt and cousins that nobody is home as she is going with my dad and I.
So, she didn't go with us and she cooked porridge at home for us and my cousins. She allowed them to come over again. Anyway, last night, I asked if she said 'she couldn't go already', she said she never said such comment. But it was so coincident that the comment fit her so well. Weird.

How old is Wilson?
Wilson is Michelle's youngest brother. He is a just a kid who turned 3 last October. But he doesn't quite seemed so. He did think alot and the way he answered back or his actions sometimes don't seemed his age.
Last Friday, when my mum got home with him, my neighbour happened to be outside and they started chatting. My mum had already opened the door and was standing at the doorway chatting with the auntie.
Wilson always changed his clothes, went to the washroom, and drink his milk / milo and water before he went to take his nap. That day, it was already late and the auntie was chatting with my mum. Guess what Wilson did after quite a while. He dared not called my mum. He tried walking past her to the kitchen but when he got closed-by, my mum got no reaction. He shook his head and made a sound (I don't know how to describe the sound but it's a sound that people usually made when they get impatient). But my mum only asked him where he going (she knew he wanted milk). He still don't want to say he wanted milk. He said he going washroom hinting that he had already changed his clothes and went to washroom and what is left is his milk/milo. LOL.
He always like that. When asked if he got cried in school, he won't say. When asked if his school got anyone crying, he would say yes. We would need to ask many questions like the student is long hair or short hair like him; boy or girl; he knows the student or not; is it same group as him; did the student take school bus with him, etc. Actually we already knew it was him but he won't admit so we would have to probe further but he is very smart. He would never tell you it is him. So 'ai main zi'

Michelle worried about her brother
Well, I forgot to blog about this. It's about Michelle again.
Last friday, she needs to go to school early for her Art Class. She is again selected for the School Art Group. After her Art class, she had supplementary class before school start. Thus, she won't be taking school bus with her brother, Nelson.
Nobody knew what she had done till my mum told Nelson that her sister was already in school and that he would had to sit by himself or other people. My mum told him while waiting for his bus and asking him to sit properly, blah blah. Nelson told my mum that he know and he won't be sitting alone. Michelle had already informed her friend the day before that she needs to go to school early and asked her friend to sit with him to take care of him. Their father was there too when Nelson told my mum. Both were surprised. Surprised by what Michelle had done. The father joking said that the sister scared Nelson got lost as he was very 'blur'. When my mum told us, all of us were amazed.

Bad utility bill reading
In the past, bill had been ranging from $120 (after complaining to the MP) up to $270 (several months after the complain). But looked at the bill for Jan.
Look at the bar chart on the second page below. Look at the electric usage for the past few months and for this month. This is too ridiculous. It's more than 3-fold less than the previous 2 months. How can that be true?

Serve her right
Yesterday was the lights up ceremony for the upcoming Chinese New Year at Chinatown.
All these while, my mum had been interested to go and see especially since the start of allowing fire crackers display on the lights up ceremony or on the 1st few second of the actual Chinese New Year Day.
Well, I remembered that on that 1st year (4 years ago), my mum went to watch with her 2nd eldest brother and his wife and their daughter who was in Primary 3 then.
Then following year, she went with her 3rd eldest sister and her family and they totally forgotten their maid then after leaving the carpark. Luckily the maid managed to get back. Well, I remember that year, I went with them too together with another cousin and on our way back, a guy squeezed in between my cousin and me and insisting on letting his family cross. I told him that I am with my cousin and what if she got lost and he said that it's not his problem.
With all these past experience, she still wanted to find people to go with her. This year, lagi worst. She kept thinking of bring my cousins (the 3 that she takes care of) on the eve of CNY as she said they never watch before. I refused. It will be late and we still got to bring them home. That is crazy. So when she know of the lights up ceremony, she asked my aunt and uncle (cousins' parents) if they wanted to go. Even asked my grandma along.
She wanted to go there early to get a good view and thus, planned to meet them to go at 3+pm. Yet after my piano lesson when I reached home at slightly past 4pm, she was still at home. She was very mad. Cause my aunt went to NTUC to get milk powder and was uncontactable. Michelle kept calling and after my aunt finally picked up, she said that my uncle was still bathing. That cause her to jump even more.
I just keep quiet and went to do my stuffs but my cousins were the pitiful ones. They had to endure my mum's grumblings. She keep saying that she should have gone with Michelle and not asked her parents along. She said she should have brought the two boys home. Anyway, she told the two boys that she would bring them home and she left with them.
Anyway, as I had expected, she will still go with them. My aunt did called back and asked where to meet butI told her to call my mum instead. And at 5+pm, they just reached Redhill MRT station.
At first, I was disappointed that I had to work and had to miss the beautiful fireworks. I just loved to see the dark sky filled with glittering stars and even the fireworks. But after all these, I felt relieved I could miss it. I was still disappointed but I'm glad I'm not in those situation.
After I got home from work, my mum wasn't back yet which I expected that she would be back or just back a while ago. Anyway, I thought, they might have shopped awhile.
When she got home, she grumbled again. She said she would never go with them again. They were slow and could not find the best place. After that, they insisted on going to take bus home. They got direct bus where my mum had to take LRT back after that. My mum suggested taking MRT but they refused. Yet due to change of route, they had been walking for 45 minutes to get to the bus-stop with some dead-ends along the way as they keep walking to the wrong direction. My uncle suggested walking here and my aunt suggested walking there, blah blah blah.
When they finally got to the bus-stop, after several buses had gone with a few people boarding and a big crowds remains at the bus-stop, my mum knew it was not right as most likely these people would be taking the same bus and suggested to back to that MRT. Only then, my uncle see her point and agreed to go and take MRT. My grandma who do not see the point was grumbling then saying there is direct bus so she don't see why must they walked back to take MRT.
Well, my mum can't walk for long as her legs would swell and pain. And with the unnecessary walking, she was very unhappy about it. With that walking, she could have shop around with things to see and feel the CNY mood and reached home the same time. Even my cousins was so tired after the walking. Who won't be?
After hearing all these, I was even more glad I am not there. But I comment to my mum taht my aunt and uncle had never been on time. They always take their own sweet time. Why must she be constantly be thinking about my cousins that they never see these before, blah blah blah and in the end she must go with them when she already know their style. If she wanted to go with them, tell them a much earlier time lah. Why get mad about such thing? I told my dad these actually when he was driving me home from work. I even told her the past experiences and that she should have just gone there herself or just find 1 or 2 person instead of going in such a big group.
Therefore, it kind of serve her right. I sound mean. But she won't think of all these before she go ahead with her plan. I did tell her about my cousins and if she had to bring them along, it would be late and it would be crowded blah blah blah. All she said was, asked their parents along loh and that they never see before.
If CNY eve, she still wanted to jio so many people along, I would say count me out or I would walk by myself and go home myself. Well, she could have done so yesterday what. She could go home herself when they insisted to take bus. I would do that. I would not care even if it is CNY. So what?

Michelle is a sister or a mum?
Last night, my mum told me about my cousin, Michelle.
She is just a Primary 3 kid. Her brother (the elder of the 2), Nelson, is in Primary 1. Yet, she seemed to be taking better care of her brother than her mum. Do you know why I say so?
Well, that is because my aunt always kind of do not bother with her kids' studies. Nelson is a daydream king. Yet she expect Nelson to be like Michelle to learn the Multiplication Table by himself with the chart in the room. She never checked their abacus homeworks which is why they would look for my mum or me to check for them.
Since Nelson started school, whenever Michelle saw Nelson untidy works like written homework or artwork, she would scold him. For the artwork, she would help do some adjustment for him. After being scolded by his sister, Nelson would become very quiet. LOL.
Oh ya. I forgot to say this. Nelson do not know how to buy things and get his changes back. But when he started school, whenever they reached early in school, Michelle would give him like $0.10 to buy food like fishball or button mushroom to eat as he does not have any money. After a few times, he learnt to buy for himself. So he was trained by Michelle again.
Last Friday, Nelson just remember that he got spelling on Monday. He totally forgot that he got lines to write. For each of the words for his spelling, he need to write the words on 2 lines each. Well, that is not unusual for him. He is always very blur. His mum who had been checking his bag also do not know he got lines to write and keep asking him to learn his spelling.
Guess what. On Monday, my mum asked him if he had completed his homework. He said he had and his mum had checked. While waiting for the school bus, Michelle said that she will check for him and found that piece of paper that Nelson had to write lines. It was blank. Michelle questioned him but he looked blur. My mum questioned him and after thinking, he nodded his head. Bus was coming and there are 10 words to write. Each need to write 2 lines and there was no table around.
Michelle adviced him to write those longer words first and he wrote with the wall as his table. Luckily that he was fast that day as usually he would take ages. But he wasn't fast enough. He only completed a page of the 2. My mum told him to try to do in school if they managed to reach early. There is no choice already. Guess what. Michelle made Nelson write in the bus too during traffic light junction when the bus stopped at red light. And when they reached school, Michelle made Nelson completed the whole thing and he managed to complete his work.
Michelle told my mum about it and also said that she always does that while waiting for the school bus in school and in the bus and thus, sometimes she doesn't seemed to have any homework when she come home.
I was telling my mum that without Michelle, Nelson would be 'dead' by now.

Mum's mad
Mum's mad!
My aunt now do not have a maid. And my cousin's swimming lesson was changed to Sunday by her instructor. So my mum is worried that my aunt is unable to bring and look after her 3 kids. Therefore, my dad kind of had no choice but to volunteer to help drive them to the pool and back.
Yesterday and the day before, my aunt was on leave. On Friday as my mum wanted me to go to see the doctor at Holland Road, my mum did not looked after the 3 kids. When we were on our way home, she was still worried about the 3 kids and called my aunt to remind her of the time that their school bus come. Well, that was because on Thursday, my aunt was on half day leave and my mum asked her to fetch the 2 elder kids from their school bus after their lesson yet she only came after the kids had already alighted from the bus. Thus, my mum was so worried. Well, on our way home from Holland, our bus will pass by my cousins' bus pick-up point and she still told my grandma and I that we could see them. I was telling my mum that my aunt can manage.
Late afternoon of Friday, my mum got bored due to the sudden quietness and yesterday too. Guess she told my dad too. Thus, my dad just now went to fetch them to my house after their Phonics lesson. When my dad went to drive me home from my dance training, my mum wasn't there and when I saw their bag with their swimming stuff at the back seat, I could guess it. They are at my house cause today is the 1st Sunday swimming lesson. I almost fainted at the thought of it. My mum got to take care of them 7 days a week? My mum even got to cook on Sunday? My mum and dad could not get a rest even on a Sunday? Must I be seeing them everyday?
Just now when I got back, the youngest haven't take his nap. My aunt was ignoring him. She was sitting with the 2 eldest overlooking them as they do their homework. My mum was behing preparing for dinner. While taking my shower, I heard my mum outside talking to the youngest that after I shower, then he will shower and take his nap. My mum even had to shower him before he take his nap. Why can't my aunt do that?
My aunt was saying that time that she will try out without a maid. If she can't cope then she will hire another. Yet, did she even get to try out? My mum keep worrying for her and bring the kids with us.
And do you know something. Every weekend, I will had my dinner at 5pm as I had to work at 6pm. From now, I guess every Sunday, I would have my lunch at around 2pm and dinner at around 4.30pm. Can you believe that? All because my dad had to drive them for their swimming lesson then drive me to work. How I wish to say I want to go myself but that would put my dad in difficult position. Argh!
What if we had meeting from 2 to 4pm? After the meeting I can't go immediately as I would have to stay for the review with the other leaders. How am I going to shower, rest and eat before going to work. I am having such a packed weekends with any break in between and even had to rush here and there. Do I even had to rush over the meals too?
No wonder I had been so tired. Everybody who sees me comment that I looked tired since last year. Since the start of my 1st semester. I guess I would be even more tired in future! I really don't like this tired feeling. Everything I wanted to do or loved to do had become a chore to me. I had lost all interest in everything now be it piano, etc. I can't even study well. I can't even remember what I am being taught. My 1st semester had done super badly. What am I going to do now. Nowadays when people asked me if I am ok, and why I look so tired, I can't even answer immediately that I am fine. Even when I said I am fine, I am not so sure anymore. I can't do everything as I wish. I guess I am too tired. Too many to worry about. Too many things to do and focus on.
I had thought of quitting the dance training. Yet on 2nd thought, I might not. I do not want to stay home and look after kids. I need quality time to study and to do things I like and had to do and to rest! At the rate I am going, I don't think I can survive well in my studies. I am as well quit! AARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
My aunt now do not have a maid. And my cousin's swimming lesson was changed to Sunday by her instructor. So my mum is worried that my aunt is unable to bring and look after her 3 kids. Therefore, my dad kind of had no choice but to volunteer to help drive them to the pool and back.

Even my dad also can't stand it. The way my mum worry about the kid and will throw her temper if things don't go well, my dad said that he is very tired. Who won't be. He goes out to work before the sun rises and came home at about 10pm daily on weekdays and on saturday, he came home at around 7+pm. He hope to rest on Sunday too but could he?

New Year 2008
Today is the start of Year 2008.
Woke up late. Supposed to have a New Year Prayer Meeting at 10am. Yet my parents and I woke up like almost 9am. Luckily my dad woke up.
After rushing, we managed to be prepared to go out at 9.30am. I suggested that we go straight then go for brunch. Yet, my mum commented that my dad would grumble when he's angry. So on 2nd thought, we kept quiet.
He drove us to the nearest coffee shop to have breakfast. Then my dad went washroom. Upon reaching the carpark beside the Kaikan, Multi-storey carpark was full to the very last level. Spent quite some time before finding an empty lot. Once the car had been parked, my mum said she wanted to take her medicines. So by the time we reached the Kaikan, they almost finish chanting.
Soon we left and we went to Seng Siong. My dad bought 3 crabs and my mum bought sotong. My dad wanted to have steamboat dinner and they invited my grandma and my 3rd uncle.
Went IMM as there aren't much vegetables. Had lunch there but I kind of don't want to eat and don't feel like eating. Before we left, bought 2 tops. Been getting a number of clothing this semester holiday. Be keeping most for CNY since it coming.
For CNY, had an unworn black dress from last year; a white top and a black pants; a light gray dress that the strips need to be amended as they are too long; a dark gray dress which I decided not to keep anymore as my cousin had the same but different colour and she wore it on my Godma's ROM dinner; a pair of leggings with design at the bottom; and today gotten a pink transulcent top that could be wore with the leggings and a gray long sleeves top. Won't be getting any bag as my mum had bought me one. Be wearing back the old heels. Who cares if they are old. Anyway, these clothes bought this holiday can also be wear to school. So it's alright lah.
Back home, while my parents were cleaning the vegetables and meat, I went to practice my piano. I don't know what is wrong, my nose started to block badly. Actually my nose was block this morning and I had taken my medication. It started to drip and my upper throat started to felt pain. Damn. Sick on New Year Day? My temperature was also higher than normal.
Actually the past few days, I kept feeling thirsty even after I drank water. Last evening, I even drank a waterbottle of some salt water. Guess those were signs to tell me that I am getting unwell. Just now, I ate the medication for the throat, hope it would get better tomorrow.
As for my leg, today seemed worst than yesterday but still alright. I must rest more.
Well, for dinner, I also don't feel like eating. Ate the noodle and etc but I cut down on the seafood. Had too much seafood already.
22/12 Company Lunch got seafood
23/12 Seafood Dinner at Malaysia
24/12 Mum cooked prawn
27/12 Prawn noodle for breakfast + Godma's ROM Dinner
28/12 Mum cooked vegetable with sotong
29/12 found that I had 3 tiny itchy transparent 'blisters' clutter together in the middle of my right palm just below my 3rd finger.
31/12 itchy 2nd finger of my right hand just beside my fingernail
1/1 saw a tiny transparent 'blister' on the 2nd finger.
Maybe I am allergy to seafood like my mum but very minor.
The last time I had this 'blister', I commented to my mum that it was itchy. Once in a while I would have a 'blister' like this but don't know why. After I comment to my mum, she told me that if she ate seafood, those with shells, she would had many of that 'blister'.
Thus, I became alert if I ate seafood especially when this time I ate in so many days and had more outbreaks than before. Guess I shan't eat so much in future.
Wanted to go sleep just now but didn't want to so came online to check on the modules. Under the print/check modules registered, only the 3 core modules were registered while the rest are in waitlist. But in the edventure, I am enrolled in 2 core modules and 2 electives. The day before, there is only 1 elective. So what is going on? Does that mean to say that those under edventure will be what I will be taking? 7th January start school already. Yet I am so sotong now. Maybe I shall check with my friends on Friday to confirm.
Anyway, it's been a long day, shall go sleep now. Nite!
