Well, ever since I started teaching at Berries, which is two years ago, I’ve always looked more forward to Saturday nites than Friday nites (hmm, though I sometimes still party on Fridays lar). But Sat nite is the only time I don’t have to worry about getting up early for work the next day. Keke. Although I’m now taking up piano classes on Sundays, that doesn’t really count since it’s something I enjoy & something I took up willingly.
Sunday is also one of my fav time of the week, because it’s FAMILY-day! & when jw was here, we will eat wif my mummy & popo every Sunday, bringing them to different places to try out different food, & then head home for a couple of rounds of mahjong, AND then head back to his house for dinner with his family. Keke. Sundays are usually quite well spent. =) Now that jw is not around, I still try to eat wif his parents and my family regularly, and still play 3-kah mahjong with my mum & popo. Sometimes I will hang out with my frenz, and sometimes I just enjoy the feeling of being able to nua at home and watch TV/DVDs.
Yesterday was a very fruitful Sunday for moi!! Keke, I quite amazed myself by the number of things I accomplished in a day. Lalala.
1) I went for my usual piano class at Yamaha at 10am. Am quite thrilled that we are now starting to play using both hands, and I definitely need to memorize the base clef notes soon!! I downloaded the music score for Pachelbel Canon today and I swear I am going to master this song one day. Kekeke. Along with some other Chinese songs that I really really like.
2) I went to take my first Gardasil jab at Tampines Blk 201B. It’s the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer (effective for women aged 9-26), and to be taken over the course of six months. Have been procrastinating for long, after my colleague Janice told me about it months ago and she had advised us to go get it while we still can. Guess the fact that I realized, after 10 years, that my mum had cervical and not ovarian cancer really woke me up. So, there you go, $200 for my first jab. Next one will be in Jan next year and the last in May. It’s not 100% foolproof, and only prevents up to 70%, but it’s definitely better than nothing.
3) It is Ishi’s 26th Birthday tmr. =) I stayed up on Sat and did up a scrapbook pg for him. Wrote down the lyrics of the song ‘Gao Jie’, because everytime I hear it, I think of him and I find the lyrics very meaningful though sad. Bought 5 white roses for him too. No $$$ to buy a bouquet, so bought loose stalks instead. I guess it’s fated that I didn’t bump into anyone when I was at the temple yesterday, so I had the opportunity to spend some alone time with him. Told him about my upcoming wedding plans, told him how I would have loved to have him as my wedding singer, shared with him about my life, shared with him a lot, and told him I missed him. Saw some flowers by his locker. Guess he’s still missed by a lot of pple. I sat there for around half an hour, before I went to burn the card for him. The shifu who directed me to the stove was quite bemused initially to see me holding the card and asking for directions, and when she asked me what is it, I said it’s a birthday card. Is it that people only burn paper money? I dunnoe. But I dun wanna burn paper money, I just wanna burn my card. Happie Bday my dear fren.
4) Had a haircut at Icon (by Shunji Matsuo) in Century Square after that. Cut my fringe short again, and trimmed my hair only by a teeny bit cos’ I’m going to let it grow for my wedding. Keke. Thought of highlighting my hair again since it’s been black for half a year, maybe I’ll do it when I get my next pay. Keke. Do you think I should have coloured hair when I go for my wedding photo shoot? Haha. Dunno. Still pondering bout that, but anyway have yet to fix the date of the shoot. =)
5) On my way home, I bought Old Chang Kee curry puff for my dear mummy. Keke. Was thinking of whether I should catch a nap, but decided to keep up the zest and Ta-Dah, I finally tidied up my little room and mopped the floor. Keke. It’s scary, but yes, I finally emptied the luggage bag I took back from Europe. Some of my clothes were still inside along with some other barang barang. Wahaha. Also went through all the goodie bags I got from media events/wedding exhibition and went through bags and bags of books/documents I took back from jw’s house. Keke. FINALLY. Threw away a lot of unwanted stuff. & at last I have enough space to lay out the keyboard without it seeming too odd. YAY!! It’s really hard to get yourself motivated enough to do a spring clean, but honestly I think the results of it will make you very proud and elated. Haha. Don’t you agree?
6) It’s not like I have more than 24 hours a day, so the sun finally started to set on my Sunday. At 6.30pm, after the heavy rain had stopped, I stepped out of the house and made my way to jw’s house for dinner with his family. Hee. Was thrilled to see xuanxuan and yuheng again, the cute little kids. Yuheng is 7 months old now, and gosh he is such a cheerful BB!! He can look at me, and then laugh, look at me again, and laugh again!! High-pitched, loud laughter. & his eyes will become mi mi yan, which makes him really really adorable. I was thinking maybe he’ll be afraid of me since he hasn’t seen me in months, but well, *phew* he wasn’t. Jw’s mum said I got xiao hai zi yuan, cos’ last time xuanxuan liked me too. Hehe. I hope so!! Maybe being wu lao shi really helps. Haha. I hope my kids will like me next time too. So, we had a nice dinner together. & that marks the end of my Sunday.
I guess I’ll be very tired if all my Sundays are like this. But well, though exhausting, it was indeed very fulfilling and I went to bed feeling happy. OH, & you won’t believe it but I dreamt of Jay Chou last nite and we were in the same sch and went for dinner with three other classmates and ALMOST caught a movie together on our own. How weird. Must be listening too much to his songs recently. Cai Hong and Wo Bu Pei. These two songs are really nice! If you have time, do go listen to them.. =)
