i'm part of a plan, apparently. =)

i'm quite a disappointing co-author of this blog.

ever since things started getting hectic, i've stopped blogging, procrastinating at every of the hubby's reminder to do so.

in my defence, i've really been too tired to do more writing than i need to.

on the other hand, i'm usually the one with way too many opinions and emotional clout to express...so i really should start blogging again.

i sniggered slightly when steve said he's a big fan of our blog's, and that my lack of entries have been rather disappointing.

so here i am...with a summary of events till now.

1) i didn't do too badly for my exams, but not well either. i deserved my grades though, so i should stop whining. =P

2) i was offered to be a teaching assistant for the next new york business study mission in term 2. but given the current flu situation and the first case coming from the current batch of NY BSM students, i'm highly doubtful that i'll be making that trip next year. it's a bummer, but i guess the cancellation makes sense.

3) after my exams, i was offered an internship position under the MOE Teaching Internship program. i got posted to RI(JC), so here i am...serving my summer break out in the college. i haven't done much at all, with the most exciting bits being the common test invigilation and taking over one of my mentor's classes while she was on mc.

4) i'm seriously considering going on exchange in during the spring semester but am still exploring places to apply to. this may work out considering the new york trip would most probably be canceled.

this reads like a laundry list of stuff, but i'm way too sleepy now for a good write.

i'll do so when i've got a clearer head.

thanks snuffy hubby for filling in the blanks while i was gone. =)

Pooot...

no.. not me... its my dog.
if you didn't know, dogs fart.
Yes they do.....
and i had the chance to hear Comet fart like 3 times. Twice in the lift and once at the lift lobby.
its a soft Pooooot that he does. But his reaction to it is very much priceless.
he will swing his head to his butt area and proceed to sniff around as if to wonder

"What on earth was that?
Was it from me?
Hmmmm smells interesting...."

:)

on a more serious note...

wifey's starting her teaching stinct @ RJ tml! I hope she has fun! :)

HK has that acid attack @ Mongkok. Seems this wasnt a first time! OMG. N we were just walking there just 2 wks ago! OMG.. that would have totally gimped our holiday.

the H1N1 virus seems to be getting hotter.... so many cases reported in Japan.... what on earth is happening ?!?!?!?!

its a SMALL WORLD after all!

so today was my planned boardgame session with my salsa mates and boy was i in for a surprise this morning when i could go down to Bugis to pick up my copy of SMALL WORLD before the gaming session.
We played 3 games ( i played one 2-v-2 with eugene before they came) of Small world, 1 game of Last Night on Earth (wifey and celestine and dylan and eugene played 1 game of dominion) and 1 game of Citadels (wow this one a long time we never played liao.....)
I am so glad i bought Small World. Its quite fun (think of it like Risk but faster) and unfortunately i did not win most of the time (except for that match with Eugene). Overall, my frens took to it quite fast and, pity its only 5 players.
Last Night on Earth was kinda messy (even though its like my 2nd time playing it) and the rules are fuzzy for me. I don't think i'll be buying this one so... oh well.. no zombie games then.
I am looking forward to Colosseum and Galaxy Trucker. Maybe in another 2-3 wks i can ask the gang over for another BG session! :)

Yay.... fun for all!

so......

ok... some brief updates :)
in HK
well we had a lot of fun here... met up with my ex colleagues had a wonderful dim sum (the desserts were wonderful!) and got to shop around. I think i had the most haul (work clothes, pants, toys etc) and wifey got a damm cool new pair of sneakers. Met up with my ex-school mates too and that was really fun! had a nice meal, some drinks and then the next day had a heavy seafood dinner with Steve. The swine flu thing hasnt really impacted HK that much as only a handful of people are wearing masks. But throughout the evenings i was in HK, my sinuses were acting up. Maybe something to do with the smoking there :(
in MACAU
we took the ferry back to Macau and this is a far more laid back place as compared to HK. Very tourist friendly too. We din really buy a lot here but mostly ate and strolled around and chilled out. We even spent some time in the hotel watching shows on the cable :)
so all in all, our this little holiday was v.fun. Pictures are in facebook.

workwise, there's some stuff coming up.. so not sure how that will go. Projects just seem to keep coming in but without any priorities its kinda hard to get things done. Hmmm... we'll c... we'll c...

boardgames wise, i really cant wait for my copy of SMALL WORLD to arrive :P the graphics really excite me and i hope its fun to play as well! Oh we are hoping to be able to start maybe a small boardgame club in the office too! then that will make it more fun to go to work everyday. :) hahhaa....

what else to update.... hmmm....
Comet's ok... not getting any bigger... last weekend we brought him to the beach and there was another 5 year old female huskie called Shadow that had similar markings as he. They played along quite well i feel and its nice to see Comet take to the sea easily. Though he did drink quite a bit of sea water, i hope the next time we bring him, he won't have a habit of doing that. Hope that we can bring him out more often! :D

Yup.. that's about it really.... Wifey's starting intern @ RJ next week... Oh and a good fren of mine, just got his 1st child! A beautiful baby girl :) Grats Andy!

woot woot

we are back from HK n Macau n our little one was sooooo happy to see us in the car that the tail must have wagged almost @ the speed of sound! :P n we smothered him with hugs n pats when we got back home (which was cleaned again hehhehe).
i will let the wifey detail our trip to HK n Macau while i recover from my flu (not swine flu no worries :P)
