(wish I could fall into your arms right now)
Received a text from chih ching at 0145hours saying, "No lesson tmr! E-Learning. check your np mail."
I replied saying that its for Week4 while I doubled checked once I got out of bed.
The email from the tutor was really misleading but I decided to make my way down to school cuz I was sure there was class.
I was an early bee today.
the 1st one!
Ohhh well, it was already 30minutes past 9, and only 6students were in class.
And the next thing my tutor said, "Do you guys know what happened to the rest of the class? Could they have possibly read my email wrongly? Could it be the wrong dates I typed in?"
One student replied, "I think they may have been confused with the dates in the email, and so they thought today was E-Learning Week."
Tutor said, "oh dear, I should have sent the email after this lesson instead. Too bad, I have to conduct lessons next week then."
~_~""
WTH.
I could have totally skip school today and sleep in longer.
Argh.

So class ended at bout 10-ish due to the pathetic number of students in class today, and I made my way down to the hospital to see dad.

As the nurses wheeled him down to the operating theatre, my dearest cheeky dad said, "eh, you don't want to take a picture of me?"
~_~"" (again)
you see how vain my dad can be?!
And he's not even worried for the op when I am.














into the O.T, we'll be waiting.





























back from his op, I made sure he did not move so much cuz he isn't suppose to (says the doctor) but as usual, he is ever so stubborn. Shakes head~
I made sure he drank plenty of water and that his cup was always filled.
I made sure his robe did not slip off his shoulders.
I made sure everything was okay.
He was like a KING today.





























I hope you're doing alright at this very moment. Must be sound asleep and your snores must be competing with the patient beside you.HAHA.
Will see you tomorrow again dad.
Love, your daughter.

p/s - exhausted :(

(time please don't run out on me)















you've lost weight, far too much.
you look run down due to the chemo.
you still gave that same old smile you've been putting all these years but a sad one this evening cuz you know you won't be having such a gathering the next time?
I hope thats not true.
I hope you still can spend more of such with us.
I'm trying very hard to be strong here but knowing you have about 8months left, pains me; pains me deep.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do that would cater to your needs.
I don't know how things would turn out when its your time to go.
All I know I need to spend my time with you, making every moment the fullest.
All I know I need to keep those memories close to me.
All I know we have to be strong for you.
All I know you'll be going to a better place with no pain & suffering.
All I know this is just part & parcel of life;
its just how it is, I know.
Well, easier said than done.

I'm not okay but I'll be.
Just NOT now.

p/s - busy, tired, lost, in a daze.



if you're lost you can look and you will find me

time after time
if you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
time after time

I wanted you to be there when I fall.
I wanted you to see me through it all.
I wanted you to be the one I loved.
I wanted you, I wanted you.
I wanted you to hold me in my sleep.
I wanted you to show me what I need.
I wanted you to know just how down deep.
I wanted you, I wanted you.

(the stress has just begun)


















Been too engrossed with work & trainings, basically everything else except SPM Project, I didn't realise that I have ONLY less than 1week before the new semester begins, which means SPM WORKSHOP = 15 OCT 2008, NEXT WEDNESDAY = STRESS!!!!

planning this, planning that
experimenting this, experimenting that
rehearsing this, rehearsing that
I (and Aud) have to speak in front of 40students x 4sessions, which means 160students altogether!
I'm usually NOT the talker by the way (comfort zone: the "back-scene" girl)
I SWEAR I'M GONNA FREAK OUT!!!! }:

(happy moments)
Gave training a miss today because I had to attend church service due to the fact that I skipped church service for almost 4weeks. THIS IS A RECORD but with valid reasons! :S
Had lunch @Whampoa Market with the family (lunch was great! haven't spent my Sundays with the family for ages), went over to racky sis's place before meeting YOU @Vivo for some window shopping and chilling time together. And with a snap of a finger, the weekend's gone, and it was time for us to go our separate ways :(


YOU went to meet your mom & bro @Merchant Court (happily buffeting) while I headed home for my own family dinner.

My last day at work and I'm sure gonna miss these bunch of little ones who has been showering me with noise, love, and laughter.

































After all the photo-takings, hugs & kisses, and waving goodbyes. Tric & myself headed down to City Hall to meet Babalang. Had Subway while we waited for the arrival of Eilane before making our way to Biennale. We had trouble finding the Art Installation by Marie Sester @Suntec, only to realise that that piece was put up on the 1ST WEEK of Biennale according to an interviewer who asked to do a survey for him when we decided to give up looking @Suntec, and proceeded to Esplanade Bridge.

















































































































































































































































































1. Fog Sculpture #48687 "Noontide", 2008 by Fujiko Nakaya (Site Specific Installation)

2. Lightlines, 2008 by Peter Hans Juhn (Public Art Installation)


We then went our seperate ways because they had to catch Mama Mia @Lido while YOU came over to send me home(:
