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!

Cousins came to my house again last night
Yesterday was a Sunday where we need not take care of my cousins. Yet, my mum thought of letting them over to stay for another night. Wanted to bring them over when we went to their side to buy dinner at around 3+pm. Luckily Michelle said she doesn't want to come.
At 9+pm, I was busy in a room helping my colleague with the ECG on a patient when I heard my dad's voice and my cousins' voices. I was not bothered by my cousins at that point as I was worried about my mum. She kanna UTI again. Yes. She is unwell and yet still think of my cousins. She went to see the doctor in the morning so I was worried she was not well again. Luckily it's not because of her. It's because of her again though.
My dad forgot that we had called my cousins and do not wanted to come to stay. But he only remember what my mum told him before. To call them and asked if they wanted to come after he had visited his colleague in the hospital. He called them and this time, they wanted to come. Thus, that is why they were here.
Why I said that it was because of my mum that they went to the clinic. Once they reached, my mum asked my dad to bring them to the clinic to find me. (-.-)''' So my dad do so and he left them in the clinic.
Yesterday, I had a sleepy spell over me and was in a blur mood plus my cousins was there. At that time, my colleague's dad came to tell her that he is waiting behind but she is still doing ECG. I saw that uncle and gave him an 'OK' sign meaning I would tell her. As I wanted to go, the doctor passed the patient's card out and I was there so I had to key in the medications, etc. I forgot about my colleague's dad. I only remembered only after I reached home and I quickly sms her but she had already took the bus. Oh dear!
This morning, I was awoken many times not because of my cousins but my mum. Today, we were supposed to go and collect our renewed passport. Yet because of my cousins and she wanted to go to my aunt's place to clean, she told me that we go on this Thursday. Yet, early this morning, she came in to pass me the passports. Can you imagine that and keep asking me where I wanted to put. Nevermind that. She told me she is going out like hundredth of times. Well, not that much but still many times. The very last time made me mad. She said she is going out and I simply ignored her and she keep calling me to I had to say 'OK LAH'. I guessed she just wanted me to wake up so had been trying all sort of means to make me get up.
Always been like this the whole holiday. I need a break lah! This is the 3rd times, I had been left home with the 3 kids as she went off to my aunt's place. 1st time, no gas so I had to bring all of them out for lunch. 2nd & nw, I had to cook for them. I am not a baby-sitter loh and I haven't been practicing my piano for ages.
Last Friday, because my parents heard the news on Thursday evening about GST package that many people did not apply and would not be able to get $, etc. My mum woke me up early that morning again. Asking me to go to CPF board with her. Also to check for myself. She even asked my grandma and godma along. She was grumbling that morning as Nelson did not take his EZ-linked card from his parents the night before when he insisted to come with us. I was pretty fed up then. After queuing, we finally checked and found that we had already apply and had already gotten it once this year. (-.-)'''
I admit I was jumpy that day as it was the day my results would be out. I was so worried and wanted to check if I clear all modules yet I am being dragged out. Even went IMM as my godma wanted to return the suit that they borrowed back to the bridal shop. After checking, I did clear all modules but not good. Was upset but what can I do? I am worried that at the rate that I am going now. I may be getting such results of worst the following semester.
I NEED TIME TO REVISE AND RECAP. I NEED TIME T PRACTICE MY PIANO. SCHOOL IS STARTING ON 7TH JANUARY! WHY CAN'T MY PARENTS ALLOW ME TO DO WHAT I NEED TO? WHY THEY ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT?
No wonder I preferred to be working. At least, I won't be a baby-sitter, or keep helping to bring the kids here and there, or to entertain my mum, and be so shag with so many undone things.
My cousins even wanted to come to stay during their March holiday which I insisted 'NO'. I gave reasons like when I had my 1 week break, they are studying and vice versa. Plus, my exam start in mid April. So they can't stay as they would distract me. My mum had no choice but during their June holiday... I shan't think about that.

My fish passed away
This morning, was awoken up by my mum as usual. This time, it was due to my fish. It passed away. It was being push around in the water by the air pump. It was fine yesterday. I even fed it. It also ate. Guess it died of old age as I had it for years. I was sad. Very sad. It had been with me for very long time.
It had escape death before. Maybe this sentence is too strong. Well, there was once during school holidays, kids around the neighbourhood would come and fish. They brought nets (be it toy nets or normal nets) and stole fishes that were kept outside around the corridor. So I believed that if it was caught, it won't be able to survive.
It also had went to many places. That time, when my mum bought the fish, it had friends. She kept in the house but soon she brought it outside to keep with the other guppies, etc. But due to the fact that kids came to steal fishes, we were worried that if we do not know that there aren't fishes around as the tank was full of algae, mosquitoes might breed.
When we try to catch all the fishes in the tank, we only found 2 fishes. Only 2 angle fishes left. So I decided to bring them to keep in my office table as my living room had no space for them. Bought a smaller fish tank and a pump and some pretty stones and set them on my table. Then brought the fishes from home in a round microwave container. Brought them there via my staff bus. Soon the smaller fish died as this bigger fish bully it.
It had stayed with me for like 2 years or so at work. It kept me accompanied there when I was lonely. Sometimes, I even just lie my head on the desk and looked at it swim. I would worried if there will be electric power interruption but luckily it never happened till the very last few days or weeks of my work before I left. I would worried if I found that there is no air coming out of the pump and try all means to fix it so that the fish would have air to breathe.
Anyway, years later, this year, I had to resign as I gotten into a University. Thus, I had to bring it back. This time, my dad drove us home. As we had thrown away all the big fish tanks containing Arowana, there were space for it to be kept in the living room. It had been home since August.
My mum and grandma also likes the fish very much. When people walk past, it would swim to the front as if to welcome them by moving around and moving it's tail (but of course in actual fact, it wanted food). It ate pretty loudly with 'pop' 'pop' sound as it tried to suck the food into its mouth. They always joked and said I had brought my fish to study in a University and it had been taught to 'dance' and welcome people and be so 'tan chi' (greedy). And it had graduated so it came home.
It had been with us for years thus, its a great lost for us. And to remember it, I took photos of it before I discarded it. Its body was still soft when I moved it around the container so I guessed it just passed away. I was hoping that it would breathe somehow but I know it was impossible.
It was pretty big so I am unsure if it can be flushed off. So I wanted to put in a container with some water for it before discarding it. I know it was silly of me. It was already dead. Why put water. But it was a fish so I wanted it to be in water too even if it was dead. As the container do not have a cap, So I poured it into a clear plastic bag before I discard it. I just hope that wherever it will be now, it will be happy.
Just to type this causing me to think back and now I am even more upset. I'll miss it!

Godmother's ROM and Dinner
My godmother had her ROM today and Dinner too. I was asked to be her photographer. Had been wondering how as I had a digital camera which was bought 7 years ago in year 2k. It was only 3.2 mega pixels which my camera phone is having the same resolution. Well, I just do my best. I asked Michelle to get camera from her mother in case I can't get good images, maybe she could.
Everything was smooth at the ROM and I got a red packet from my godma. A $120 red packet same as my mum and grandma as they were the witnesses for them. The rest of the relatives who attended got a $20 red packet.

Soon we left. My dad went to Holland Road to go to a clinic which his siblings recommended for his arm's ache. It was a clinic that was there long time ago and the doctor was pretty old. I was also wondering if I should see for my leg problem. It had not been right. Well, I may seemed be walking normally but sometimes I do feel something is not right esp when I had to run for example to catch the bus. In the end, before I said anything, my dad had already walked off.
The doctor said he injured his ligament. 'Ligament'? Isn't that the same problem for my leg? The doctor told my dad that he must treat it if not it would worsen. And he said that there is no point going to a Chinese physician for 'tui na', etc. Oh dear! I had been going. What should I do? My dad was asked to go back for another consultation. Maybe I should go with him the next time he go if he is going on a weekend.
Anyway, after that, he drove my grandma home and drove me to my ex-workplace where I passed them some 'dou sa bing' that I bought in Malaysia then we went home where I upload the photos.
I was in a hurry and I forgot to bring my cousin's camera. A very bad moves. It was fine at first till my san yi yi and her family came. I was really irritated by that san yi zhang. He came around the table and sat at my tables to chat which was alright. While Michelle and I was munching peanuts especially when I had to take photos when needed and I was hungry, he said that eating peanuts is good. So far so good right. What he said next was gross... He said that the peanuts won't be digested and would come out in faeces while Michelle is still munching.
I was also irritated by him as he kept saying and saying that I am not professional. A professional won't say '1, 2, and 3' before snapping photos. Well, of course I am not a Professional. I am just doing my godmother a favour. He kept thinking that he was the main actor. Wanted to take photos here and there, Wanting to see his photos everytime his pictures was taken and Complaining everytime that my camera's viewing screen was so small, Saying a professional won't take a photo at a tilted angles, etc etc. I was so pissed off that I told him that my camera was bought 7 years ago and that why not he sponsor me with a good camera. I tilted the angles to take nicer photos without the extra stuffs that would be present when taken at normal landscape or portrait. I took at an angles also because my camera is unable to capture all presence. If he is so professional, he could take over my job! He commented that his son's camera's viewing screen was much bigger so why didn't he bring?
He wanted to take a photo of his family. My aunt was in red. His 2 sons too. The other son was in white and he too was in similar color. His sons was sitting down. 2 of them in red are together. My aunt was behind them. After the photos was taken, he said it's not nice. He wanted to swap with my aunt and then he complaint that he looked larger. (-.-)'''
At the end of the dinner, we took a family photos. Again, he said he wanted to see. To see if it's nice. and again complained about the screen. ARGH!!!!!!

After the dinner and photo taking, we were going home and that two cousins are now sleeping in my room again! Can't even do what I wanted to do in that room. So lost of freedom plus responsibility to look after them.

Malaysia Trip
Didn't start off the day well. Woke up late (my parents too). So we were rushing. Plus, my parents asked my cousins over (the two elder ones) as they were worried that my aunt can't cope. So we were very rush.
At the LRT station, my dad realized that he had lost his EZ-Link card after all of us had enter the station. He did not know where he lost it. My mum got jumpy again and eventually used her extra card for my dad to enter. Yet, she was still unhappy about it and even though we had reach level 2 of the station, she did not left the lift and went back down to search for the card. While waiting at the platform, my dad decided to go down too so I was left with my two cousins. What happened had dampened my mood for the day.
There had been other things that happened mainly due to my parents esp my mum being jumpy that I even had the thought of not going for the trip. It happened even in Malaysia. (-.-)'''
Well, at the Desaru Fruit Farm, Michelle wanted to snap her own photos yet her mum and my mum insist that she listened to what the tour guide had to say and there were lots of unhappiness here and there. I'll keep hearing, 'COME HERE! LISTEN', 'WAIT FIRST...!', etc etc. I had to 'siam' as far as I can and keep myself busy and away from that group so that I can't hear all that.
After we left the fruit farm, we went to the Tanjung Balau Fishermen's Village. In the museum, we weren't allow to take photos but we were allowed time to take photos at the beach outside. The sea was the South China Sea and was on low tide.
Junting and Michelle drew on the grey sand, 'Gu zhang pa pa, Happy birthday' and a cake as the day before was my dad's Lunar birthday. How sweet of them and of course I snap photos.
After that, we went to places where they sell stuffs like 'ma ti su', etc. As I didn't bring even $, I had to restrict myself as I also need to source for x'mas pressies for my cousins (Father's side) as there was a gathering on x'mas day.
We were also brought to another place where we were told that they sell nice 'ji dan bing'. I did not buy again as I am short of cash. There was a Herb garden where I snap some photos. All the herbs had a label tag in chinese with its name and functions. While snapping photos, saw a huge creature passing by when I wanted to walk over. It made me jumped! The kids had their fun in the bus taking photos too.
Then we were off for dinner. We were early so we were allowed to walk around the area but there is nothing there so we went early to the restaurant.
And we were off to watch Fireflies after dinner. It was my 1st time. My mum got me a bag at that area while we wait awhile for the sky to darken.

Well, at the Desaru Fruit Farm, Michelle wanted to snap her own photos yet her mum and my mum insist that she listened to what the tour guide had to say and there were lots of unhappiness here and there. I'll keep hearing, 'COME HERE! LISTEN', 'WAIT FIRST...!', etc etc. I had to 'siam' as far as I can and keep myself busy and away from that group so that I can't hear all that.
Anyway, the fruit farm not only got fruit trees but also had a few bunny houses, monkeys, an ostrichs corner, a bee aviary, a Koi fishpond, a goat barn, 2 monkeys and many chickens. We took too many photos (382 photos to be exact) so I shan't upload.
Well, I had a long day the day before so in the bus, I had a hard time trying to keep awake. Junting, another cousin, even had to push my head back as my head was dropping outside the seat. Most of the time in the bus journey, most of us was asleep.

After we left the fruit farm, we went to the Tanjung Balau Fishermen's Village. In the museum, we weren't allow to take photos but we were allowed time to take photos at the beach outside. The sea was the South China Sea and was on low tide.
Junting and Michelle drew on the grey sand, 'Gu zhang pa pa, Happy birthday' and a cake as the day before was my dad's Lunar birthday. How sweet of them and of course I snap photos.
After that, we went to places where they sell stuffs like 'ma ti su', etc. As I didn't bring even $, I had to restrict myself as I also need to source for x'mas pressies for my cousins (Father's side) as there was a gathering on x'mas day.
We were also brought to another place where we were told that they sell nice 'ji dan bing'. I did not buy again as I am short of cash. There was a Herb garden where I snap some photos. All the herbs had a label tag in chinese with its name and functions. While snapping photos, saw a huge creature passing by when I wanted to walk over. It made me jumped! The kids had their fun in the bus taking photos too.
Then we were off for dinner. We were early so we were allowed to walk around the area but there is nothing there so we went early to the restaurant.
And we were off to watch Fireflies after dinner. It was my 1st time. My mum got me a bag at that area while we wait awhile for the sky to darken.
Each of us then get a life jacket and then we board the boat. We found ourselves seats in front and we snap some photos again.
When we saw the fireflies in a distant, it was shimmering like a x'mas deco on a x'mas tree, it was shimmering like the stars in the sky. It was very pretty. But it was a pity that it was too small to be capture by camera (I am unsure if any professional kind of camera are capable of snap such shot). I love the shimmering stars in the sky. So I was so in love with the sight as it was very pretty. At that moment, I forgot about what happened especially in the morning. Together with my relatives, we caught 4 fireflies and put them in a container. We can't bring them home which I hope I could but I won't as their habitat would be different. So after looking at it up closed once they went back to shore and attempting to snap a few shots but the pictures weren't clear, we released them before boarding the bus home.
On the journey home, there were traffic jam. And we reached home at 11+pm when we left home at about 6am. And we (my dad; my cousin, JT; my cousin, Michelle and her mum and me) took a total of 667 photos.

The two cousins followed me home again. I was so sian as I would have to look after them at night when I was so tired. They had been staying at my house for the past 2 weeks till now. (-.-)''' I badly need a break, a rest. School is starting! (T.T) (*.*)
Had been like bring them out to watch this performance here and there, going my aunt's place as my mum had to help clean the house esp the mess made by the dogs, or she go alone with my grandma while I look after the 3 kids at home, etc etc. I also wanted to revise!!!! ARGH!!
