Lazy me

Lately I have been doing nothing. REally it seems like time has been on auto pilot that there is nothing that is different from the day before.

Last two weeks been really stressful as I had the pregnacy scare again. Monthly auntie visit was late for 5 whole days and I thought I was caught. luckily we were still safe on the 95% safety side of using contraceptives. Somehow if I were to become parent again, I will not be able to work. Life with 4 kids and a dog is really hands full and there is really no time for another one. My JJ is very affectionate and always want my attention and boys always up to some mischief. Charles broke the fan while trying to have a tornado/twister and the owner had to come and repair the damage. Having us as tenants also not very good with the kids so naughty. Speaking of tenants, my tenants in Singapore asked if we could reduced the rent so we actually redused by another $200 for them. We must help one another in needs la. The $200 reduction will be okay for us but it might make a difference to others. Joe and I believe the earth is round and a little kindness goes a long way.

Btw channery was out of school as she simply refused to attend school. We pulled her out and still had to pay about $285 extra after the notice. She is extremely stressed and always cry whenever we started preparing her stuff for school. We had been visitng library and shopping and she kinda happy with the arrangement.

I had started teaching in Saturday Chinese school and only paid $57 for 3 hrs after tax. It's not a lot of money but I really happy to be teaching again. However, I was quite stressful as i still not very sure of how things work here. kids don't use the language at home and their standard is lower than those in singapore. I have kids from 6 -14 yrs old in my P1 class. The standard is according to the kids ability to grasp the language and not their age.

These few days I am suffering from severe backache. The monthly auntie visit triggered it and I had been relying on painkillers. luckily the medication still works. Been a while I got the pain again after Channery's birth. When I was doing my confinement, the du4 zhong4 with the red date and longgan juice did the trick of somehow curing it. Come to think of it, at that time, I did not drink plain water but relay on the longgan juice and ginseng tea. Maybe all that helps. I think I am going to try having that again and see i it will cure the pain in the back.

Anyway now we are going out to have some fresh air. Been cooped in house for the past week since it had been raining.

Take care all and stay cheerful.

What's up lately

Last week Joe and chantz fell ill suddenly one after another. They only have fever and vomitting. Chantz even missed school for 2 days. Actually i still do not know where has the time gone to. Maybe the reading and watching DVD already took up most of my time. It kinda blocked out the feel for the real life that I have and bring me to world of fantasy.

Seems like nobody been missing me while I am here. Everyone gets on with their own lives and seems okay with it. In fact I was in such a foul mood yesterday that I did not even called up both mothers to wish them happy mother's day. Maybe the cold weather has gotten into me again or that the children messing up the whole house.

Life is okay for me here when I can do my own things like reading and watching Tele without the disturbance of kids. Sometimes ignoring them is good if not I will be really stressed.

I am feeling in control again today. Maybe a cleaned house made my day.
