the weekend..

1. The incident

we went for dinner on saturday night. everything was fine and happy. but i came home on the wrong note.

met a primary school friend's mum. (obviously we exchanged the posting results. duhh.)
what happened was...
f's mum: so how ur girl do? where she going?
my mum: okay... she's going to ngee ann poly, logistics course.
f's mum: ar? how can it be? ur girl always very good one! her results very good one what?
my mum: no la, drop already. then ur girl leh? where is she going?
f's mum: my girl go the ngee ann poly also nor..
my mum: ohh.. which course?
f's mum: engineering ar.. i think is the engineering.. girl ah (refering to me. duh.) , ur mummy expectation high is it?
my mum: no la, her results really drop..
f's mum: really meh? really meh? aiyo aiyo, how can be, girl ah, sure anot?
my mum: yah, her r5 is not even stated in her slip, only have r4 score.
f's mum: aiyoaiyo, like that ar, nevermind la girl. poly is new start nor, hor? its ok de nah, all start again nor hor..
my mum: *smiles* yes yes. poly is a new start.
(end of conver.)

i felt so embarrassed. oh my god. no face at all. come to think of it, even i find it hard to believe that i've got such results. i used to top my class from primary 1 up till primary 4, how can it be that such a "good" student can get such results? i blame myself. i've put mum in a very difficult position during that conversation with that friend's mum.
i wanna make sure that this doesn't happen again. i don't want my family to feel embarrassed because of me (and my foolish actions.)
this is also why i feel that i've become rather "naggy" towards my juniors recently. be it my cousins, my sisters, my ex-cca juniors and even my peers. i wouldn't want to see them following my footsteps. i've experienced these crap and nonsense, which i am sure that no one else would wish to go through.

to msy: please heed my advice. make those around u proud of u. show everyone that u are who u are supposed to be. please don't disappoint anyone (especially ur dad, grandpa and grandma)anymore.

to mnk: learn from erjie and u are safe. erjie is a good role model. she has absolute positive work attitude. pigs are always smarter than what others think.

to mky: how others treat you, depends on how you treat them. u can lie to me that u do your work, but at the end of the day, u will lose out in your own game. again, learn from our erjie.

to myy: i know its all very stressful. u've got lots of work, lots of revision to catch up. u've got to strive on despite the fact that u've got such a slack form teacher. if u need help, just let dajie and erjie know. daddy, mummy, dajie, erjie will always be behind you.

to myk: keep up the good work. u're doing really well dear. love you for who you are, depsite that i'm a piece of mutton to you.


2. Singapore Airshow 2008 (24th feb)

yepps. i was there! whee...

i went to the airshow with gujie, ahboy, guzhang and guzhang's younger sister.

went for ahboy's therapy lesson first. i've realised quite a bit of things, especially on how to deal with ahboy, as in how to teach him and stuff. let him learn, let him try, let him set the rules and let him learn to control situations.

it was then breakfast at changi village, then it was right to the airshow!

reached the exhibition around 11.45pm. there was a massive jam along the road into the exhibition centre. there were quite a number of taxis, but along the way, the occupied taxis got fewer and fewer. then further observation led to the realization that those people in the cabs were Eurasians. so, perhaps its not a wise idea to sit in the cab and let 20 cents flow away for every 45 seconds of waiting time. (*light bulb light bulb*)
the airshow started around 12.15pm. with the blazing hot in the sky at mid-day, we gathered to watch the airplanes performing some really crazy stunts in the sky. maybe i had high expectations, so i didn't really find the airshow too impressive. visited the exhibit areas, whee... i was so impressed by that airbus, so so impressed. left for home around 2 plus, cos ahboy was throwing tantrums already (i guess he was moody cos of the blazing weather, he isn't really used to these yet.. but its okay, he'll learn along the way :p)

along the long way out of the car park, there was a long queue of taxis. apparently, majority were all merc cabs. (now we know how rich these people are...) mostly were tourists and locals, so should understand why there were so many merc cabs -.-

went for another round of food after the airshow. nasi biryani was super spicy, but shiok. very very shiok. good food, nice food. :p

then it was a long drive home...

tired. but managed to mop the entire house. hahaha..

reflections:
thanks to daddy and mummy for allowing me to go for this airshow with gujie and guzhang.
lots to think about. many thoughts and mixed feelings.
as of today, mummy hopes to be able to tour new zealand. my aim is to be finacially capable to fulfill her wish one day. and of course, to bring daddy on his dream tour too! i hope to be able to give daddy and mummy the best of everything someday.
just like taking the airbus's business class to their dream holiday destination. <333
