It's almost the END....

The last time I blogged, it was a month to the end of the hols...alas, I'm left with only a few DAYS! Lament, lament...I can probably write an ode on it...but I'll resist the temptation.

Kk, on to more pleasant stuff. I went to CCK for the workshop and meeting. It was alright. The people there are pretty nice and my cubicle is alright (altho I didn't like it initially) but I'm having trouble with my email account and I still don't have a laptop and stuff. The school's pretty big compared to Dunearn so I reckon I'm gonna have some trouble navigating myself around it. Then there's like a 1001 things to see to, like admin stuff, SOWs, printing and stuff...in short, I'm stuffed. Whatever, like I always say, "It'll get done... somehow".

Now just an update on how I have been spending the last stretch of the hols.

We went to Sunway Lagoon! Haha...ya pretty lame by many people's standard but who cares? Ayra had a pretty good time and that's all that matters.

Here we are on our coach going towards Sunway. Ayra was cool about it...we managed to occupy her and ourselves pretty well.


We had to make a transfer at KL. An extremely grumpy old man with a beat up van took us to our hotel. It was pretty hilarious.

Finally, we reached our hotel. Our room was alright. Ayra went straight to the bathroom to check out the bathtub. Woohoo! A big one! I had specially bought a bottle of Bodyshop's bubble bath for her "rubby dubby" (in her words) time in the bathtub.

Then of course, during the course of the stay, we posed (It's just too tedious to describe everything), we ate, we shopped a bit, blah blah blah. Here are the pics.

Hubby showed off his "sniper" like skills. Pretty impressive huh?

Here are more pics of us just hanging around and making the best of our modest holiday.

Hmmm, next stop...Paris! Haha...yeah, right.

Enjoying my Hols!

Hello World. It's about 1 month till the school hols are over. That's not too bad. I'm in school today. I wanted to photocopy some stuff but it so happens that all the machines are acting up today so after exhausting my options, I strolled into the HOD room to do my photocopying there. What greeted me? All the HODs and the P and VP were there, finalising which teachers will end up teaching which classes. I decided to ignore them and do my photocopying anyway but I soon felt terribly uncomfortable, as if I was eavesdropping on top notch secret information so with a sigh, I gave up my photocopying (after 2 pages!) and left, terribly annoyed at myself for caring what these people thought of me. The truth is...I dislike most of these people and I'm glad I'm not working with any of them anymore. I know there are superiors everywhere but after almost 10 years of Dunearn "superiors", I'm sick of it. Anyway, now that that's out of my system, let me proceed to talk about much more pleasant things.

Anyway, Ayra is now an MMI graduate! Yup...the concert came and went. We got lousy way back there seats this year and coupled with a screaming toddler just right behind us, I ended being way more pissed than happy. Oh well, life ain't always good. Still, I managed to snap some

shots although they're pretty bad.

That's my little princess posing before and after the show.

These are some of the other childrens' performances.

These are pics from Ayra's performance. I was pretty annoyed as Ayra was at the extreme left of the stage and was blocked by the rostrum. Didn't anyone teach these people that when there's dancing on stage and the rostrum is not needed anymore, you move it away? Duh. Nvm. I'll be able to see her performance again when we get the DVD.

Here's Mommy and Daddy cam whoring while waiting to pick Ayra up after her performance.

Here's Ayra absolutely famished and enjoying her favorite chicken rice from IMM's Banquet.

What else? Oh we went to West Coast Park to do some kite flying. It was so sunny although it was already 6pm. I just snapped whatever I could, not really being able to see what I was snapping. Lol, trust me to do such things. Anyway, what's more important is that the kids (and an adult, ie.Roshan) enjoyed themselves. Even Fuddin kinda enjoyed himself, running around the big field.

There we are, enjoying our much needed break! Mac Attack!

I've been spending more time with the kids during the hols and I'm glad. During term time, I'm either busy or tired so I've been making an effort to do fun and constructive things with them. These are the perks of being a teacher yah?

Here's Ayra posing while on one of her many grocery shopping trips with me.

Later that same day, we had Juanita, Ayra's BFF from MMI come over to play. The kids had a great time, judging from the squeals of delight coming from Ayra's room.

Ok I'm gonna go but before I leave, I will leave you with a pic of my cupcakes! Yes, I baked! Haha...the cake was fine but I can't say the same for the frosting. I'm gonna go home and bake more coz my Fuddin loves my cupcakes. Woohoo! I will try to do a better job on the frosting this time round though. I also made some "wantons" (is that how you spell it?) yesterday. My bro and sis who came over both gave it the thumbs up! Hehe. I am inspired to cook more this holidays. Stay tuned.
