BDS event - Running Man 2014

Image
It BDS version of Running Man again. It is still our resourceful host Edmund doing all the planning and we only need to play the game.  This is my Team B. We dun have the most brainy member here but we have the determination to win the game. Seriously, the kids are very good in answering quizzes. Team A.  My dear boy turned game assistant. 1st task at Changi Airport - to find the host amd my son.  We managed to find hint on the photo.  Task to run T1, T2, T3. Really need some stamina. Tasks to take photos from terminals to terminals. I think the pple must think we are crazy people running around. Tasks to tasks and I near run till my intestines came out. We were quite behind till we won the 2nd last game to bring back our advantage.  The last game, Police n thieves.  Running Man 2014.

Happy Shopping

May be there will be better sale on Boxing Day but I dun think I wanna wait especially pple like me who have problem gettibg fitting clothes so since nice I will grab. Shopping alone is more fun and damaging and rewarding then group shopping. So I walk into Isetan for Xmas presents for the kids and I manage to find a dress at Santorini. The dress cost $29 after sale which is not damaging and i like the flow of the dress.  More damaging comes next after i decided to try my luck in Dorothy Perkins and walk into the changing room to try the clothes. OMG... this effect ripples.... and lasted for 2 days. Too flowery. Yes if u look like this. No when u wear it. It fits me so well, not fitting, hides my tummy n big butt, good length and just look nice on me. $63.90 before F3 15% Discount. Ok i look nice on floral so I am bold eenough to try the next piece. This looks a bit dark but thanks to the orange rose, some.highlight n not too over and it has the same effect as the abo...

Taiwan goodies

Image
If you asked me if I bought enough? I would say NO! Of course I am not as disappointed as Law who simply find shopping is not really fun in Taiwan. Hahaha...  I think I bought many bottles of honey here. See the tall glass bottles? Heavy and I love it so much that I decided to keep it for myself. Wanna drink? Come my house.  This is the goodies my sister wanted and when I saw it I know I am going to get this for her. To make sure it was good, I actually brought a sesame and peanut to try. Share it with other families and they all said it was good. Went back to Taichung and chiong down to the shop to get it and they refuse to repack for me.  Ha... this goodies cost me NT600. The most expansive goodies I got back from Taiwan and not many people enough this. Only me and Julian appreciate it.  These are from Miaoli old town. We all love the rustic street.... Miss Taiwan now.  Look at the amount of honey I got. They have honey je...

Day 11 - Back home

Image
Our 12 days 11 nights Taiwan trip have finally came to an end. Packing the bags of clothes and goodies was a great challenges, every family struggling with the loots every night and I must said I had not shop enough especially on books. How I wish I have more time soaking myself in the elites bookshop.  Taoyuan airport is beautiful with many art works around.  Janelle spotted a difference on the plane we came with and the one we depart. Look like she prefer the one with the keyboard.  Good seat space. Cathay is quite good.  Transfer flight from Taoyuan to Hong Kong. This was the worse flight food I have eaten, quite disappointed with the food standard we had this time with Cathay.  There was some hiccups on our flight schedule, our flight from Taoyuan was delayed due to heavy traffic at the airport. All the planes are queuing to use the runway and our plane only able to use the runway an hour later. Everyone is worry about ...

Good Progress Award for Julian

Image
After 11 days missing from home, our mails turn into a pile. A very prominent letter from MOE seem to outstand among the rest of the mails. Law 1st alerted me of the letter from MOE. I was wondering what kinds message will MOE wanted to tell me about Julian. He cant be the top 25 percent in his cohort although he did pretty well if i was to benchmark him against my standard I set for him. I was thinking, "could it be anything about his learning development?" May be MOE going to tell me that they are going to stop the treatment? I couldnt wait to unpack my lugagge from the trip, took my pen knife and slide it across the envelope. Its good news, something that my little boy will be so proud of himself this year. He was awarded with Edusave Good Progress Award and will be awarded with certificate and voucher from our Mountbatten Grassroots Organisation advisor PM Lim Biow Chuan. He was so delighted when I told him the new. He could still remember watching Janelle receiving ...
