Quitter or Stayer?
Some have been asking me after reading one of my previous posts if I've quited. So I'm announcing to all that I'm staying, at least for another year.
I'm using the whole year ahead to reassess my calling. And meanwhile, I'll try my best to stop thinking negatively about my job. That's my new year resolution...haha...
Well, crap....the truth is that I do not want to have to adapt to a new environment. And also I like the batch of students I'm teaching right now. But in terms of recognition, well, sigh....... I just have to console myself that my reward will be given to me in the kingdom of God. Small fly like me shouldn't ask for more.
Nonetheless I'm still flipping through Recruit every saturday.....

My Best Friend's wedding
After all these years in Singapore, I have to admit that distance did take a toll on our friendship. I am sad to say that we are no longer that close. Sometimes I wonder if our friendship has been reduced to just hi-bye friends. It could be me putting in very little effort in maintaining, it could be just that all of us are busy with our own lives that we seldom keep in touch. Now that all three of us are married and at different places (Yeat is in China now), I think it'll be even harder.
Anyway, I'm happy for him. I can see that he's happy and eager to start a new chapter in his life. The wedding was nothing less than perfect, and I believe the marriage will be just as good. Too bad I was not able to take any picture as I was busy tending to Thad (he refused to be carried by his dad for longer than 5 minutes).
So, the bride and the groom (u know who you are), if you happen to read this, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you happiness in your married life. Always remember the vow you have made, that's what I always do when hubby and I had differences. And to the groom, there are 2 rules:
Rule1: the wife is always right
Rule2: if the wife is not right, refer to Rule1

Gong Gong's passing
I still remember when I was very young, perhaps 3 or 4, my aunt, who is 8 years older, was in primary school. So, being innocent and all, I told my Gong Gong, when I go to primary school, my aunt will be in secondary school; and when I'm in secondary school, my aunt will be in university. And when I'm in university.....at this point, I didn't know what's after university, so I said, wow, Gong Gong, when I'm in university where will you be? Will you still be around?? This was recounted to me by Gong Gong after I graduated from university. He was really happy to see me graduate and was very proud of me. He recounted the story again when I brought Thad back to KL to visit him and PoPo. He told me he not only lived to see me through uni, see me through graduation, but also my wedding and the birth of his great-grandson.
Gong Gong, I miss you. And I believe the rest of the Lee's miss you too. Till we meet again in heaven.

Hair Cut
Cute???? Handsome?? At least I think so.... :)
Well, second haircut after I think about 1 month. This time round we went to United Square after I called up Junior League (the hair salon for children) to check if they have a branch there. By the way, now with a baby, United Square is one of the malls we frequent because it's less crowded compared to places like Suntec or Jurong Point. Bringing Thaddaeus to JP was a nightmare. So crowded that we couldn't push the stroller without bumping into somebody's ass or legs. Ok, back to haircut. The second haircut was more successful (coz I was the one carrying him...hehe...) Thaddaeus didn't even tear. He was happily admiring himself, smiling away at the mirror. Daddy's genes.....self-adoration. After the haircut, he was given a balloon for his exemplary behaviour. And this time round, he's even cuter!!!!

Sigh....
I really wanna quit my job. REALLY.....when the bond ends end of this year. Something happened yesterday and it kind of firmed up my decision to leave. I can't elaborate much here. Perhaps I'll do so after I've tendered my resignation.
I'm so determined to quit that I'm ready for a substantial pay cut!!! RECRUIT and jobsdb are my best friends now.
