My new hair colour
Woke up early to teach tuition this morning. Then went to Auntie Alice's house to dye my hair today.
We had sushi for lunch. Woho... I love sushi, esp making them. Cos there wasn't much ingredients, so I came up with a cheese sushi. Yummy... Anne and Aunt Alice both love it. O well, cant help it. I'm just talented in it.
After lunch, Shawn insisted that I bring him to school. Today supposed to be his mom bring him lo, since school starts later every Tuesday and it's the only day which his mom can bring him to school, but he just wanted me to. So to force me to bring him to school, he refused to let me watch TV. Argh.... For the sake of watching my new beloved actor Raymond's Lam, I just have to give it. Argh........
Then Cheryl was throwing tantrums, refusuing to eat her lunch, so me this jiejie gotta do the job. I really rushed feeding her since the drama was starting soon. Good girl. She's indeed my beloved new teddy bear. Hah.. Cos I just taught her how to do a teddy bear hug and saying "I love you." haha.. so now we do it almost every day. It's only exclusive for me and her. Hee..
Hai... Shawn gotta reach school at 1.40pm and my show will only end at 1.40pm. so I missed the last 5 mins. Whatever... Since I've already watch the drama last night.
Shawn was really happy that I brought him to school today. He just couldn't stop talking about his friends and school along the way and that's what he usually would do during tuition too. But I just couldn't stop complaining. Why make me walk him to school under the big hot sun? Somemore, he must go in by the side gate which is so far in.
I was just to lazy so I walked him to the block next to the gate. Grabbed him on his head and gave him a goodbye kiss. He was so shy... Hee. I made sure we got into his school building before I left. I couldn't help to notice that Shawn kept looking back at me as he walked in and he waved at me. Smilez.. Suddenly I got that motherly feeling in me.
When I got back, Anne dyed my hair.
See my new hair colour.
Like my new hair colour? It's soft copper blonde. I love it. Even Aunt Alice and Anne too. It's a new colour product from Amway and aunt is blessing me with it. Woho.. FOC.... But aunt was quite upset cos last sat she spent $175 to colour her hair at her regular hairstylist, but I think her stylist used too dark a colour that her hair doesn't even look coloured. Haha.. So she got so fedup, she couldn't wait to chase me out of her house. Hahaha.....
But sad to say, none of my members noticed my change in hair colour, even Alex din notice it when I saw him. Only Jia Rong lo. At least I've got a compliment from him. Hee. The rest? Some kind of friends..? Hai...

CHCSA Appreciation Dinner
Today we had an appreciation dinner at Roland's Restaurant at Marine Parade. It's a dinner for all the volunteers of the CHCSA, from the various departments. Needless to say.. I'm from COPE.
Took many pictures this evening cos there was a photo contest. By the way, it so happened that many of us wore black today. Perhaps cos we wore orange too often in COPE. People in Black: Me, Jacelyn, Irene, Sis Irene, Rachel, Nam Yan, Karen, Guan Him, Vincent, Kith, Hong Yun.
Copers in Black
Sisters in Black 1
Sisters in Black 2
We the COPERs
We sure are one BIG family
Copers in Black charging for peanuts. Haha..
Pretty gals, Macho Guys-- Copers in Black 1
Pretty gals, Macho Guys-- Copers in Black 2 (Look at Ah Guan's superman hand!!)
Pretty Gals, Macho Guys-- Copers in Black 3
Me & the "Suaning" Brothers-- James and Benjamin( the one in white. He never fails to suan me lo..)
Me and Angeline (the volunteer of the year for Children Church). She never fails to uplift me and encourage me. I love her.
It was a wonderful evening. Food was good, programs were entertaining, mostly importantly, I was with good company. =smilez=
Took a cab home with Guan Him, Benjamin and James. Discovered many things.
Ah Guan ran like Forrest Gump when he was running after cabs everytime when he saw one.
Benjamin, the biggest "Suan"er was 2 yrs my senior in Primary School. So coincidental.
James has got super good jaw muscles cos he has been talking throughout the night, from before the start of the dinner til when I alighted the cab, he was still talking.....
Cope isn't just a ministry. It's about volunteerism. Although none of my members support me along the way, I will still stand strong in my zeal.

CNY Valued Shopping
Have been pretty busy these days and I know I haven been blogging very regularly these days. Sorry folks cos it's always the thot of uploading the pictures to share with you all that drives me nuts.
Yesterday I went my first facial in 1yr and 7 mths. Not exactly la my 1st facial in so long cos I did mask at home too. But it's the 1st in so long since I last went to a beauty salon to do one cos I spent my time on spas last year. Hah.. So it's about time for a professional facial now. The facial was actually a complimentary one cos Auntie Alice got 2 complimentary vouchers from one of her credit cards. We went to this salon at Suntec called the Posh Wellness. Environment was good and relaxing. And I couldn't help but to hear that the music they played was harp music. Hah.. this definitely cant be escaped from a harper's ears. Hee...
The overall facial was only so-so la. Not as fantastic as I thought it would be. I'm just longing to try the facial at True Spa. Will God throw down some bucks for me to go try the facials there? Hai...
Today I woke up super early. Think I haven woke up so early for a few weeks or a couple of mths liao. Slept late last night and woke up early for COPE. Today we brought the elderly from Old Airport, Pine Close and Toa Payoh for CNY warehouse shopping.
First, we went to the Kong Guan Dumpling factory. Saw this "fa-gao" which was crowned in the white pau-skin and it's called "bao-fa"--- sure will prosper. For that additional pau-skin, the price is more expensive by $1.80. I think it's crazy. The white skin make the entire cake looks so ugly.
Then we went on to Ken Ken Seafood Factory. Saw this very unique shrimp dumpling "Har-Kow" shaped into a flower with 4 different colours. It was selling like hotcakes lo. I wanted to buy but sold out liao. Hai....
After which, my bus proceeding to Fragrance BBQ Meat. It wasn't on the schedule one but the elderlys saw the crowd and wanted to go, so we went. Bought ba-gua there.
Last stop, we went to Bengawan Solo. I bought a big bag of goodies there. Went daddy came to pick us up, he simply din understand why I bought so much. O well..... Simply bcos......
I'm a SHOPAHOLIC.....

What's their problems?
Ok, like I said I would blog about them, I am now.
Encountered some strange and disgusting people who I really wanna talk and share about. DISGUSTING... to that extent that I feel so frustrated to the cap.
Encounter 1
Ytd I went to RELC with Sally and Chantal to pay our exam fee. There was a crowd, so gotta take quene numbers. Since I walked in front of both my buds, I've got no. 22. Naturally and by right, Sally who's behind me should get no. 23, but she din, cos there's this woman in her 40s or 50s with her daughter who perhaps in her late teens cut behind me. What's her prob? She looked kinda taitai and also a little agitated though.. dunno what's wrong.
After waiting for sometime, no. 21-30 got called, but we gotta let the guy at the door check our forms before we go in to quene. When no. 23 was called, the woman took so long to come out, with her daughter following behind her, and she was still furiously waving her hand at someone behind her to come, but no one came forward. The guy at the door checked her form and asked her to go check out the course codes and fill in the missing details. So she passed the form to her daughter and she came quening behind me.
Not longer later, her daughter came storming into the room. "I hate him. I passed him and forms and even volunteered to help him check the course codes but he shouted at me, asking me to shut up and get out. Hurmp.. I'm not going to talk to him anymore. Dun ask me to go out."
The woman just replied her, "Ok then. U stay here and quene. I go find ur bro."
Oh.. I see, so it's her son who is taking the exams.
O well, it was soon my turn, and also the girl's turn, but apparently her bro is worse than a retard cos he still haven finding the course code. So the poor girl had to stay in the quene, waiting anxiously for her mom and bro to come while letting people to pass her by. After Sally and Chantal finished paying, we still saw the girl in the quene. As we were walking out of the place, we saw that woman standing in the middle of the waiting lounge, waiting for her son to complete the form.
Ok...Thoughts for the day: What's the problem of that guy? So big liao still need his mom and younger sis to accompany him to pay exam fee? And who's taking the exams? Him or his sis or his mom? He doesn't seem to be anxious about it lo. So bo chup, then dun study la. And why's he so stupid, need to take so long to find the course codes. All the codes were shown on the board le mah. Idiotic lo.
Encounter 2
Took a bus to school today. Raining cats and dogs, I'm stuck in a small single deck bus. Thank God that I've got a last seat, but going against the vehicle motion. I hate such seats. But whatever. Cos when the bus left the interchange, the bus already very pack liao. So upon reaching every bus stop, the bus driver uncle would shout politely to the back of the bus in his broken English "Everybody pls, move back 1 step. All wanna go work. Pls pls move. Everybody go work.." Such a nice uncle. :)
As the bus drove after Jurong Bowl, there's this DISGUSTING woman who board the bus. Perhaps she got off from the wrong side of the bed, but pls.. I just felt disgusted with her. Cos she was standing near the door, behind me, kept complaining and grumbling, but I cant see her face. I wonder who was even wanting to listen to her. Oh pls.... So upon reaching a stop, the driver said the same thing. But this idiotic woman shouted back to the uncle in hokkien, saying something as follow:
"Uncle, never mind. U drive slowly, take ur time. We go to work can be late, let all the stupid students be late."
HELLO?????? Stupid? Who's stupid? What's her big fat problem? That's not all, then I had her mumbling "All idiots. Study so much. All eat shit in the stomach." WHAT'S HER BIG FAT PROBLEM? Menopausal?
No long later she alighted and I saw her standing at the bus stop, pointing at the bus and scolding non-stop, complaining to the man standing next to her. And that man had such an innocent look on his face. Well I think she must have ruin his day.
