YUMMY!!!!

ShuShu's favourite song!!

I wanna make you smile
Whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you.

I'll get your medicines
When your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice growing old with you

Chorus:
I'll Miss you, kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you, feed you
I'll even let you hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes on our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh i could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Salted S1

I did something terrible.

Super evil.

I salted S1.

It foamed and shriveled.

It went into its shell and didn't come out for a long while.

The following is from the internet...
Snails "melt" when you pour salt on them because the water in their
cells is leaving to balance the salt. This is an osmotic process which
occurs across semipermeable membranes like those surrounding the cells of
animals and plants.

I poured water into the container.

S1 floated... then slowly emerged.

I thought its body would float out and ... :(

Its tentacles emerged then shrunk back and EMERGED again!!

It's ALIVE!!!!!

Phew... now it's slime-ing around the container.

Osmosis is COOL.

I've got a snail!!!

Let's welcome S1!!!!

It's an Achatina fulica(East African Land Snail)

A gift from my P5 kid(JJ) :D

Jelly Beanie

Lots of cream cheese flavor and strawberries top it off. This bean is weak-at-the-knees, toe curling, downright unbelievably delicious. Even its femininity as a flavor does not put off strong men who are known to cry at the mention of its name.

Haha!!! I love jelly beans!!

Joy by Newsboys

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't fight it

If life is water, I was dry as Tuscon dirt
If it's a gamble, I'd already lost my shirt
If it's a journey, I was dazed without a clue
I flipped a 'U' back to the first love I ever knew

CHORUS
You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't fight it
You carried the cross and took my shame
I believe it, I believe it
You shine Your light of amazing grace
I recieve it, I receive it

If life's a battle, the invasion is complete
If it's a rhythm, I have found the perfect beat
If it's a renaissance, I've got a new birthday
The world don't give it
And the world can't take it away

CHORUS

I'm bowed and broken, everything's new
All that I need, You're like water to seed
And how Your love, rights everything wrong
And in my weakness
You're ever stronger, You're pulling me back
Where I belong

CHORUS

Love me-Collin Raye

During my jc days.. my class used to sing this so often. :D

Here are the lyrics..

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.


Enjoy :D

Uber-duper HAPPY!!!

Euphoria-a feeling of happiness, confidence, or well-being sometimes exaggerated in pathological states as mania.

I'm really very very very very very very very happy!!!!

Ballooney FUN!!!

Love covers over all wrongs

Grandma's getting old.

Sigh... Dad's not working, so is Granny.

Now that Mom's at home, she sees why they can't get along.

They're old, no longer that tolerant AND they like to step on each other's toes.

...::lalalalalalalalalala::...

Granny said..

"I'm old. I'll die anytime. Burn me a BIG house with lots of money..."

"Your father... always find fault with me..."

Haha. I love her.

I used to detest her a lot. I couldn't understand the her lifestyle. I couldn't tolerate her habits.

It's different now. I can proudly say I love her without any reservations. God is really good. he makes the impossible, POSSIBLE! :D

Proverbs 10:12 (NIV)

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Starting anew

I've always wondered..

Is it possible to ditch the old life I'm living.. and take on a new identity?

I've always wondered..

What is it like to have a twin?

Can we take turns to go to school?

Can I conveniently make her the scapegoat?

Will I always be able to get away with it all?

I can't.

It's my life.

Haha.

I'm starting anew.

:D

The Message

Look! Listen! God's arm is not amputated—he can still save.
God's ears are not stopped up—he can still hear.
There's nothing wrong with God; the wrong is in you.
Your wrongheaded lives caused the split between you and God.
Your sins got between you so that he doesn't hear.


God looked and saw evil looming on the horizon—
so much evil and no sign of Justice.
He couldn't believe what he saw:
not a soul around to correct this awful situation.
So he did it himself, took on the work of Salvation,
fueled by his own Righteousness.
He dressed in Righteousness, put it on like a suit of armor,
with Salvation on his head like a helmet,
Put on Judgment like an overcoat,
and threw a cloak of Passion across his shoulders.
He'll make everyone pay for what they've done:
fury for his foes, just deserts for his enemies.
Even the far-off islands will get paid off in full.
In the west they'll fear the name of God,
in the east they'll fear the glory of God,
For he'll arrive like a river in flood stage,
whipped to a torrent by the wind of God.

"I'll arrive in Zion as Redeemer,
to those in Jacob who leave their sins."
God's Decree.

Falling below your expectations

I'm sorry.
I'm not the perfect daughter that you've always wanted.
Your life was never perfect to begin with.
I know you've pinned your hopes on me, that one day, I'll fulfill it.

I'm scared to tell you of my dreams.
I know you'd never approve.
At this age now.. it's already too late.

From the very beginning..
It was never a yes.
You mocked at what I believe because of what others have done to you.

I'm really not perfect..
I know I haven't tried my best.
I see your sacrifices,
And I wonder..
Am I worthy of them all?

Comparisons, comparisons, comparisons.
I don't like it.
It's stressful.
I'm not the same as anyone else.
I want to start afresh.
Will you still give me a chance...

I love you mom.
I really do.

You took the fall

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Beatboxing is the vocal percussion of hip hop culture and music. It is primarily concerned with the art of reproducing drum sounds using one's voice, mouth, and nasal cavity. It can also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntable scratching, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments, and the replication of a vast array of sound effects.-Wikipedia

He didn't expect it. Haha!

Thank you, God!

...at a lost...

Lil' one

Scolding doesn't work...anymore.

I used to think that punishment = discipline.

No longer is that true.

I want to be your friend.

An example that you'd imitate.

Am I good enough?

Haha.

Teaching is no longer just that.

What does it take to get into a child's life?

It shouldn't be that hard, I was once a child too.

Truth is, it is hard.

You're different, your needs.. I'm appalled..

I'm at my wit's end.

Yippee!!

Dad's fine!

Dad's fine!

Dad's fine!

Dad's fine!

Dad's fine!

Dad's fine!

Yippee!!!!

Why....?

Hmm... Dad's sick.

It seems everyone has begun to accept it. It's a fact.

I miss daddy.

Please come back.

Caught in between

These two days.. I've been caught in between-a lot.

I've been going out with my eldest bro and sis-in-law.

And they squabbled at the slightest things. Slightest.

Sigh.. Communication isn't just words. In fact it's everything else. Your tone.. your body languge... your personal radius( Let's get mathemathical)

On the eve, it started out with bro hugging his wife squeezing through the crowds. After the fireworks, it was jammed... EVERYWHERE! Traffic was slow, tempers were flaring. Everyone wanted to get out of the place fast. We were stuck. Can't move an inch.

*squabble*

They were no longer hugging. Bro was walking really fast.. ahead. I spoke to sis... then to bro. Reconciliation. Phew.

Just earlier...bro misplaced his phone. He asked sis...in a rather harsh tone.

*squabble*

We sat in his car, setting out to visit sis' parents. He drove recklessly.

I cried. Told him," Can you don't get angry over the slightest things..."

They made up... and the whole night was peaceful...

Phew.

Acceptance

Woohoo!! It's chinese new year's eve!!

And I'm sick. I'll just watch people grow fat while I abstain from all the goodies.

Hah! As if I will.. This weekend.. I'll go into the SWIM-EAT-SLEEP cycle :D

Yesterday was the last day to put up the new year decorations. It's gonna be the piggy year! All the kids were busily colouring my little piglets. One little boy was what started the colouring frenzy.

P: Miss Quek.. I thought you have something for us to do?

Me: Oh Ya! Wait.. I'll go photocopy the pigs..

Two days ago, his grandma came to me and talked and cried.

Me: Can he go back later? He hasn't finished his work yet.

G: I know he's a naughty boy. But don't call his parents when he's up to mischief.

Me:...

G: His mom would only scold. His dad would only hit him. He's my only grandson and they don't know how to love him.

Tears welled up..

G: I've been taking care of him since he was young..

Is it because he has never been loved by his parents in a way he could understand? Just hitting.. scolding the child when they've done something wrong doesn't mean love. You've got to explain to the child why you did that.

As I was washing the dishes.. I called him to me.

Me: I spoke to your grandma earlier.

P:...

Me: I just want to say that your grandma loves you a lot. Also... Be a good boy. I won't call your parents up, but you have to be a good boy.

P: Ye-s

Me: Wanna help me this friday?

P: Yes!

He needs to be accepted. He needs to be loved.

P: Here Miss Quek! ( he hands me the piglets he has just coloured)

Me: WoW! Nice! Can you cut them?

P: Okie! (beaming away)

I'm happy too :D

Baa...Baaa....

A simple Thank You!

X: Can you come to my class? This kid, N, is crying. I dunno why..
Me: Okie..

+This bunch of kids are rarely quiet. It's strange as I entered to find silence+

N: ...SOB...
Me: Come on out.. (N came out still sobbing) What happened? Are you alright?
N: sob..SOb..I've got lotsa homework...SOB...
Me: It's alright.. Dun cry.. You're excused from tuition today. (N widened his eyes... tears brimming) You come to my class. I'll help you out.

N isn't a pure Chinese. He's mixed. He has never really understood Chinese but has to take it as his second language. hah.. It's Chinese tuition that he's excused from. :D

When I was in secondary school, it was common for the teachers to give us holiday assignments (lotsa them in fact!!) Due to poor poor poor time management, I'd play away the entire holidays then.... On the second last day of holidays, start rushing my assignments. The first time it happened, I cried a whole lot before falling back to sleep. My brother, who was merely two years older than me, had a shock. He told mommy and mommy just said," Just sleep. Wake up early and finish up your work." I slept soundly, knowing I'm not alone :D

Me: Wow! That's the last page! Well done!
+After completing the last bit of his homework...+
N: Thank you Miss Quek..(softly)

Tears started brimming from my eyes. A simple thank you. I'm touched and really appreciated.

Thank you little one..

It's a brand new year!

Gosh!! It's 2007!!!

Well.. Happy New Year!

It's really belated huh?!

Since it's a new beginning, let me start with some new year resolutions!

+I wanna be a clown. Even if it's just for a day. I want the full works, make up, costume and balloons and a whole bunch of kids!! Hah!
