Doggies Day Out and School Reopens

We went to west coast park as there was a doggies day out event. Max was really naughty, he barked at almost every dog that he saw and was dead tired after the walk-a-jog. haha.. the fun part was the sight of so many dogs walking together!! dogs of many different sizes, from real skinny ones which can run very fast, to the fattest hush puppy! the owner of the hush puppy said something real funny "at the rate you are going, u will take ten years to reach the end!" and he was really walking very very very slowly. So FUNNY!! and cause max was sweating so badly, a boy who saw him went "yuck! this dog got so much saliva!" LOL.

We got lots of free dog snacks and went back after the jog. Think there were different competitions later on for the dogs but i bet max would fail anyway so we didnt stay.. and also the sun was so HOT. maybe if there was a salivating competition or competition for the loudest/noisiest dog, then probably he would win. haha. Was a bit sad that i didnt bring my camera along, i used the phone and took only a few shots:

max with the other schnauzers, can u recognise him? :)






look at this schnauzer with a mohawk


AHHHH my last day of JUNE HOLS is here. (CRY OUT LOUD). time to face reality!!! hope everything will go well. Lao tian ye, please bless me with 2 caring and nice CTs and give me courage!!

My last week of june holidays is approaching!! Hahaha.. my big plan of preparing all my lesson plans and activities before school reopens failed miserably!! Wahaha... dont care already la. i just pray hard that i will survive, get a minimum of pass for my practicum! I really cross my fingers and hope to have more angels in my classes. The fear of getting kicked out of NIE due to poor practicum is still in me, but I shouldn't be so not confident rite? At least I know I have previous experience with these students before, and expecting the worst may not be a bad thing since i would have set my mind to prepare for the worst? haha. dunno wat i am talking abt le but u know the pressure is there!!!

Going to see the wedding gowns later! So exciting.. for today its just to visit the shop and get a feel of the gowns there and have in mind what i really want. hee.. we have signed up with Sattine cause their featured gowns are wonderful, they dun hard sell and the photographs that they take are superb! wondering what colour of evening gown i should choose. hehe..

Was very touched by the quote Junyong has on his msn - "before you talk about what you want, appreciate what you have". It reflects so well on most human beings, always asking for more and never really see what they already have around them.. greedy human beings. I should be so satisfied that i have a husband who loves me only, no matter how unromantic he is. :) thanks mel!

Life has been slackish. almost half of my june hols are over, time really flies! how i wish this period of my life will just stop for a long long time, so that i can rest for a long long while!

I am definitely not looking forward to the 29th of june. haha.. that's when my practicum starts, and i can see myself leading a hectic and stressful life. there will be nonstop of lesson plans to write, and everyday i will have to face groups of students who may bully me!! that's what everyone says, i look like a teacher who will be bullied. Sobs.

Of course, i m gonna portray myself otherwise. i am going to try my very best to look like a fierce teacher and act like a strict teacher!! wonder how successful i would be in doing that? I have been giving myself some stress recently, like i've such a long period to rest, i should be spending my time wisely, practising my math and thinking abt how to engage the students and build rapport with them etc... but i am really too lazy to do any of these, and my laziness is creating stress! heh. crazy me..

my plan to go vietnam failed.. cos daryl cannot take leave on time.

i often get envious of ppl who have romantic husbands. husbands who talk abt their wives on facebook, who create surprises, who reads their wives' blog. daryl does none of these, and sometimes i really feel quite upset abt it. but i also dunno whether im reasonably right for being upset? cause i know he is not romantic already, but sometimes i wonder why cant he do a little more rather than sit in front of the tv every night when he's back? or am i really asking too much? sighs. its not that we are having problems.. i'm just wondering abt how we are working this relationship out.
