Thursdays. My 1st 'weekend' of the week. :) That means I've got time to blog. Hehe.

It was Teacher's Day on Sunday. Received some lovely gifts from thoughtful students. :)

Blueberry cheesecake from the Ganes brothers.

A pink carnation from Kenneth.

Chocolates from Andy and Joshua.

It's moments like these that gives a teacher extra motivation. :) Open Day coming real soon. Here's Pearly Shells which will be performed by a group of children during Open Day. Sexy!

Went to watch Letters to Juliet last night. Totally not my kind of movie. Here's Silvia while we had 10 minutes to spare before the show. Woody and Buzz Lightyear! =)

Did light shopping. Finally found chocolate drinks with marshmallows.

Cool instant noodles where there's this awesome 'drainage system'.

Our favorite rice dumplings from Esquire Kitchen. A >.<>

And finally my new pet! Still very shy.

They've been fighting over the same shell. So here it is. All alone. Shell-less.

Getting ready for an exciting weekend ahead with includes CG outing with 6 person having their birthdays this month, 3 of them this week. Then there's Lea Salonga and hopefully another movie on Friday morning. NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 3 and Champions League Final. Bringing my iMac and iPod Classic to repair with some last minute shopping for our Singapore trip. Not forgetting John Avanzini that's preaching over the weekend. And of course 3 piano-lessons-filled afternoons. All this in the next 36 hours. Manageable. Excel-able by God's grace! Cowabunga!

Lovely Friday mornings. Watching Boston vs Cleveland on the tube. Celtics up to a 9 point lead towards the end of the 3rd quarter against the best team this season. I'm lovin' this game. =)

Had a nice mamak breakfast with Yap. Updated me with office gossip. ;) And if you've hadn't tried it before, there's such a thing as roti bom campur telur & pisang.

So here's my recent happenings:

Have I shown my chocolate milk supply? Half a dozen selling for RM5.69 only. ;)

Silvia making Mother's Day cards. :)

Chloe lost her her first tooth. =)

Ivy's birthday surprise!

AJ and Charlotte with Barney's 'hate' song. :)

Aunty Tsung's birthday cupcake.

Lars trying a guitar. Cute ain't he?

And finally Joshua's Iron Man.

I'm going for an early show soon. Cost me RM7. Miser Caleb is happy. ;)

It's so relaxing. Life. Holidays.

I reached school at 2.30pm only to discover my first class starts at 5pm. Many of my students are on holidays. Good news is that I've either replaced their classes or they prefer it not replaced. :)



Life of a teacher. "Uptown girl" from a distance. Can't get a hold of why someone would like. Silvia, care to explain?



When in Rome. Tonight. ;)

I love blogging in the mornings. :)

My ideal morning would allow me to : cook breakfast, do devotion, bath, read newspapers, update my blog, tidy the room, listen to music/sermon and of course manage my Manchester United. So far it has been pretty ideal today. =)

My simple American breakfast (without the toast, baked beans, fries). Gulped it down in 3 minutes! :p I wouldn't had been able to enjoy half-boiled eggs if not for Nick moving in. Thanks!

An attempt to enjoy potato wedges and curly fries while watching 'Psych'.

As 'promised', my trimmed hair. Thanks mom! Been a while since I last ate KFC. Sign of ageing?

Yesterday I went to see a skin specialist to deal with my toe corn. I tell you, freezing it was so painful, and now I've got a huge blister on my toe. All thanks to E Laine! ;)

Been asked to remove pictures of children I've taken at school. Just couldn't resist the temptation. They're so adorable!

A pair of twins. Double-double act.

*picture removed, lest I get into trouble

Reflection by Gayatri. Tons of cuteness!

*video removed, lest I get into trouble

Jia Jin in Manchester United jersey! Glory, glory Man United!

Been listening to Andy Stanyley, 'Washington can be trusted with power because he was willing to give it up!' Amazing stuff. Thanks Calvin!

Getting ready to Up In The Air. I know it's been showing for quite some time. Finally had time. George Clooney fan here.

Another movie I heard was great is Invictus. A true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country. And see where they are at now. World Cup host! Apparently there wasn't much publicity. And it's only showing once a day at GSC MidValley. :(

Tata for now. Will let you know how the movie turned out. ;)

Glory, glory Man United! If you haven't known. Man United 2 Liverpool 1. And Rooney scores again! =)

Ex-classmate found some old photos and decided to post it up on Facebook. I did have huge spectacles then.

Havent's posted for some time. Pictures have been 'piling up'. A few more to add to my 'student-in-jerseys' collection.

Imran in Lampard jersey. I'm so sorry for the draw last night. ;)

Joshua in Loserpool's jersey.

*pictures removed, lest I get in trouble.

I forgot his name. Beckham.

Ukelele.

Twins.

Soft toy from WWF.

Joseline. Joslinna. Jocelyn. I still don't know her exact name.

Cool t-shirt from my baldy student. 'there are day I hate being me, but then I smile because I'm not you!'

Lunch at work. :(

Mom was here for the last weekend. She's the greatest. She somehow cleaned the whole kitchen. I forgot to take a before/after picture. But it was amazing. Cooked a lot. Shopped a lot too. Ikea and Jusco. Where else would she want to go? ;) She even managed to get me a haircut.

Before.

During.

Didn't take an after photo. Love you mom! :)

Finally decided to open some long overdue presents.

Going off to work. Another brand new week. Tonight watching Chucho Valdes at MPO! Exciting stuff.

Theme for this term is people from the world. So I've learnt a few greetings in different languages. So has the children. Hello (English) Bonjour (French) Buenos Dias (Spanish) G'day (Australian) Guten Tag (German) Konichiwa (Japanese) Ciao (Italian) Shalom (Hebrew) Dobry Den (Czech)

Went to a concert the other night at MPO. Didn't regret getting B reserves seats for it. Pink Martini!

They whole band came over excluding the black lady and the strings. There was only a violinist that night. Chill out music. Even managed to get some band member's signatures. Spent extra money on the cds. Unfortunately the latest album was sold out the previous night.

Please forgive but Splendor in the Grass is very nice song. Lots of Carpenters. Throw in a bit of Tchaikovsky.

Life's been moving oh so fast

I think we should take it slow

Rest out heads upon the grass and listen to it grow - Pink Martini

AJ and Charlotte. Lovely siblings with amazing English diction.

Vincent's cactus that has blossomed. Looks like a reef. Taken when I went over for Amazing Race Asia Season 4 audition tape. No joke.

Another student thats a footy fan. Supports Arsenal. And England I suppose.

The car model driven by Michael Schumacher. On display at KLCC.

Supplement I'm on to counter my liver failure.

That's all folks.
