A studnet's life.
________________________________________________________________
Being on course brings back the old feelings of being a student.
It's like back to school all over again, just that this time you feel that you gotta be more responsible since someone is actually paying you to go through it.
We start at 10, well about 10.30am every morning, and then we have our breaks and then we leave at 4-ish. It's pretty much school timing i've got there. And then after class you don't stress about what's going to happen the next day because you know its the same thing all over again.
Man, this feeling rocks. haha. I could be in school forever.
But oh wells, its my last week of "school". Five more days of being able to see daylight when i leave the office.
Anyway, today's sunday and mom cooked fish porridge for lunch. I ain't exactly a fan and wasn't too thrilled when she first told me the lunch menu. But when i saw the bowl of hot boiling rice, i had this weird sappy feel of a mom's love. All the tiny ingredients, carefully chopped up, the broth broiled for god knows how long and then the fresh fish slices she went to the market for in the morning.
I must say, that was the best bowl of fish porridge i ever had.
And then the nephew came home tonight. Was crying and crying and crying and for once i felt he wasn't that cute. Haha. I am so not good with this patience thing. I have no patience, for people, for children and especially for crying babies. So whoever's gonna marry me..hmm..haha. you prob gotta be the one hushing the wailing infant.
Alrighty, shall go do some reading and then its zzz time before class tmr. :)

Long is good, no?

Oh like seriously, who's that nut who invented teeline?!
For those who don't know, teeline is basically a form of shorthand.
Yes, a shorthand so brillant, i have to spend three weeks learning it.
It's like learning your language all over again. Imagine having to learn ABCs right from the start, in a whole new langauge. Now my ABCs are all in weird symbols.
And learning these symbols aren't all. What i'm learning now, is the shorthand of these symbols. Basically, i'm learning the shorthand of shorthand.
Man. Suddenly i miss writing with the english alphabet.
Class is torturous. Hmm, but the breaks in between makes everything better. We have tea and sandwhiches delivered at 11 and then lunch at 1 and then spinelli's at 3pm. Haha. I'm sure gonna gain weight after these three weeks.
Anyway, the weird thing is, i miss work. I do enjoy the short hours and the relax pace of having nothing to worry abt. But man, i do miss the rush of working and writing stories.
That explains why i am blogging - my only excuse for the next three weeks to write in simple, oh so nice english.
Anyway, i'm gonna be scouting around for a malay course to take up.
Anyone game enough to join me?

A little lost, a little out of touch.

Friends and baby.
________________________________________________________________
 Baby russell pooping. Now a cuter picture. I met my friends from LA today and boy, they make me wanna go back to gorgeous california today. Four of them came over. They flew from LA to bangkok, then to malaysia and to Singapore and then they are leaving for taiwan tmr. A month long tour. Greatness. They're basically visiting their branch churches throughout asia, meeting old friends and touring the region. They're all ABCs, so basically born and bred in US but their parents were from Vietnam, Hk, China. In a way its coming back to revisit their roots. Anyway, my family routine has changed every since the baby. Sis used to come over to our house every sunday and mom would cook. Now, we go over to their place every sunday instead. It's not too bad, i get to play wii and mess up their place instead of the other way round. Haha. Besides they've got a maid so we can have dinner without arguing over who will wash the dishes. kekek. Russell's indeed bigger now. heh heh. Come friday, it'll be his first month birthday :) Pictures below.

A break - of sorts.
________________________________________________________________
Oh man oh man oh man.
You guys don't know the joy i felt, when i received the email this afternoon.
Ok, it's nothing great - just an email to inform me that i'll be sent on course for three weeks in May.
Oh gosh. Such sweetness.
Mondays to Fridays, 10am to 5pm.
Everyone in the office loves going away on course. It's almost like taking a mini holiday, clearing your leave.
In actual fact, i've never gone on course for the close to one year i've been in the company.
But i hear colleagues rant and rave about it all the time. Everytime someone gets sent on course, the rest of us just sulks in jealousy. haha.
Anyway, boy am i looking forward to the break.
Oh yah, did i tell you guys how tiny russell is?
He's cute but still too small to play with. You know the first few months of their baby life, these little lives do nothing but eat, sleep and cry. So yea, most of what i've seen, he's been suckling and sleeping.
Can't wait for him to grow up. Ok not up up, but up bigger, fatter so i can play with him.
Anyway, happy May day everyone.
Only got a day off last week. and this week too.
Man, am looking forward to sleeping late tmr.
:)

Travis - Flowers in the Window
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
