Ian's TIRED Thoughts :
Today is my 4th lesson at GUG.... It started pretty well.... they were having the alphabets as the "starter" of the class.... but soon, it all went DOWN SOUTH.... more & more kids & parents enter the class..... Believe it or not! There were 12 kids + 12 parents + 2 teachers in that small classroom.... WHAT A SQUEEZE!!... I felt so overwhelmed that I started to cry.... As usual, Mummy was annoyed, but Daddy saved the day & sat through the class with me.....
Truthfully, I don't think I learned much in the class... The 2 teachers are not that wonderful.... they don't seem to understand kids.... Anyway, to cut the story short, Mummy decided not to continue with GUG.... so just 4 more weeks to go before I am a FREE BIRD!!.... I know that Mummy is now having a headache of where to send me to next..... She is kinda stuck with the idea that I should go for intellectual classes.... I like gym better, but Mummy said no.....*sigh*....
Anyway, after our class, we went shopping.... Daddy bought this gear thingy on the pretext that it was for me.... Actually, the toy is not so bad, think I will enjoy it too.... And Mummy bought this SUPER HIGH black heels.... Think Mummy is back to her pre-Mummy days where she wore very high heels.... According to Daddy, she was well-behaved when expecting me..... She wore flats.... And during my first 6 months, she limited herself to short heels....
Soon, we are off to Bishan library to borrow some VCDs & books.... I simply love libraries where I can run around & play with books..... Then, off back home.....
As per routine, I ate my lunch while watching the new numbers VCD.... Once it is finished, it is time for me to do my pattern memory..... and of course, help Daddy to assemble the gear thingy.... Daddy made a dog, but the sad thing is that it can't walk.... :-P
After a long day, I am exhausted..... so off to bed I need to go..... I am looking forward to Chinese New Year where I can spend more time with Mummy & Daddy.... Heard that we are going to a park during the 1st day of CNY.... that should be fun.... Till then.....

What a Day!
Today is one of the worst day I experienced.... The morning started well..... Ian woke up at 6.30 am and we proceed to do some activities..... then we got ready for our GUG lesson.... and that is where things go BOOM.... Ian started to cry the moment the lesson started.... Both Wan & I can't pacify him.... He wanna go out and never return to class.....
I felt like a TOTAL FAILURE.... Thoughts like what is wrong with my child? The rest of the children seem to enjoy the lesson, but not my son..... is it because it is too tough for him or was it because he was bored??... he can't talk properly yet and hence, can't explain the reasons to me....
I really find it tougher and tougher to be a Mummy..... How I wish parenting comes with a manual & remote control.... Then I can know what should I do? And if all else fails, just do a rewind & restart the event all over again.....

SIGH....
Ian's CONFLICTING thoughts :
Today is my 3rd GUG lesson..... it went terrible.... I started to cry the moment the class starts.... Why did I cry?... I am not too sure myself, but I don't like the lessons..... I created such a fuss that Mummy pull me out from the class today....
Heard Daddy & Mummy discussing that I won't need to continue with the class after this term.... just 5 more lessons to go..... I know that Mummy is worried about me.... She sounds upset.... She seems to take this very personally.... It seems like I disappoint her.... I know it was naughty of me to cry, but I just can't help it..... I don't like the lesson.....

I need a BREAK!
The temptation is upon me again.... Feel like just resigning from my JOB & take a break... spend time with Ian.... and source for a job after May 08.....
But the insecurity of not having my own regular $$ is making me think TWICE.... I will just give myself some time.... Maybe if I don't like my new portfolio once PMD is restructured, I will leave.... or then again, maybe not..... It is a tough decision to make.....
I will try to HANG ON till something major happens & it forces me to make a decision.....
Tomorrow is Friday and I have the weekends to look forward to before it is back to work again.... Truthfully, work is not bad.... I am not that busy.... but the thing that is making me think of resigning is the fact I don't seem to be learning much.... Kinda dumb, rite??
Anyway, Sunday is Ian's 3rd GUG class.... the 2nd GUG class went pretty well.... hopefully, this Sunday will also go well....
Till next time.... and hopefully, it won't be a complaining entry again....

The DEVIL is in the details
Been feeling kinda low lately..... really feel like it is time for me to leave the organisation as I don't feel like I am learning anything from staying there....... but have other considerations.... No point in changing job when I have to take 2 weeks break in May....
I should take each day as it comes till May & then source around for another opportunity.... What I feel like doing to take a LONG break.... travel around to relax & detox....
Envision a life where you got no responsibilities.... no one depending on you... you are free to do what you want....... of course, the flip side is that you will be lonely.... no one to confide in & share your worries.....
I think what push me is the news that one of my friend is leaving her job after just 1 month..... she has no job offers waiting for her.......How I wish I got her guts to do such a thing.... but I guess she can afford to do that as she is single an don't have much responsibilities....
Will not dwell too much on this issue or it will drive me even more depressed.....

My 1st GuG Lesson
Ian's REBELLIOUS Thoughts :
Had my 1st GuG lesson yesterday..... the day started well.... we went to United Square REAL EARLY as mummy thought that the lesson supposed to start at 9 am..... and actually the lesson starts at 9.30 am.... my Mummy is certainly very BLUR
Anyway, had lots of fun before the lesson as I kept running around the place looking at all the lights..... do you know that they are in various shapes... stars, ovals & circles..... Mummy asked me to look for a diamond-shape light, but I can't find it, so guess Mummy must be kidding me.... Daddy made me sit in some weird kiddie rides.... I don't like them.... they are so UNNATURAL.... can you believe that a train has a face..... and they got dinos - purple, green and some other bright colour - sitting on a car.... and believe it or not, my parents wanna ME to sit with them.... think my parents are SILLY, don't they know that vehichles don't have face & animals, especially EXTINCT ONES, don't ride with HUMAN on CARS.... they don't even have CARS during the dino times.....
Anyway, I am going off the topic..... The topic of the day is my GuG lesson..... So back to the topic..... The lesson started well..... there were 9 kids altogether in the lesson and we started by having with toys.... Then as usual, we sing songs.... then Teacher Linda read a story.... the story book is so tiny.... can't een see the words, so I decided to explore the room..... saw these cute chairs.... they have holes at the back & my arms & legs fit perfectly there..... so I kept trying to put my arms & legs in the hole.... my spoilsport Mummy said why not listen to the story and kept telling me what is happening in the story.... don't she understand that I am not interested??..... After that, we saw ants & we are supposed to use the finger paint to do an ant trail..... I LUVVV finger paint & wanna put my whole hands on the paint and usual, Mummy said no and only allow me to do the ant trail..... then it is break time.... instead of eating, Mummy & I count.... there are a few cushions with numbers listed on them so we had fun doing it..... Then it is ZOO PHONICS time.... the alphabet of the day is "A".... and the animal is Allie Alligator.... Allie Alligator says "Eh.. Eh... Eh...."... Teacher Linda also said that alligators got LONG TAIL and when they close their snout, their teeth can be seen unlike crocodiles.... That is something interesting.....
Then things started being more interested.... they gave us an apple and expected us to pass it around so we can know how apple feels like..... Don't THESE ADULTS understand that apple is a fruit and we are supposed to eat them rather than pass them around??.... So I started crying when Mummy forced me to surrender my apple..... I refused to study anymore if they don't understand the meaning of eating an apple..... Mummy lost her temper so it is Daddy to the rescue.... Daddy tried to pacify me & we went back to the class.... By then the kids are eating jam as Teacher Linda has taught them the spelling of jam & to make us understand what is JAM, they are feeding us JAM..... kinda interesting, right??
Anyway, I think Mummy is worried about me.... She thinks that I can't cope with the class as I seem bored with most of the things they are doing..... it is her own fault anyway, she taught me too many things so I already know almost everything that is being taught at the first GuG lesson..... hopefully, the class becomes more interesting with time.... I am looking forward to the class.... Think next week, they will be teaching us the sound of "B".... do you think we will have a banana??....
Till next time..... Hugs & Kisses from ME!!

Random ToTs
It been 1 WEEK into 2008 an I must say that it has not been tat bad..... been stuck at home as I got chicken pox.... so taken the time to catch up on watching movies......
Just watch "The DEVIL wears Prada".... yes, I know it is now considered as an OLD MOVIE, but I have yet to watch it at all.... :-P..... The movie is good..... LUVVVVV the clothes & shoes, but I guess it teaches you something.... That sometimes you got so carried away in your job that you forget the important --> your morals & beliefs.....
Enough of the DEEP stuff.... let's go for SHALLOW instead..... Due to the chicken pox, I got scars in my face...... ARGHHHHHHHH.... so been wearing this facial mask which is supposed to havve whitening effect..... hopefully, it helps to reduce the scars..... Ain't me shallow???.... Afterall, people always say what is more important is you being beautiful inside, but the truth is LOOKs does matter, so have no choice, but to reduce my scars......
One additional random tot..... remember when people say pregnant women look good..... I disagree..... When I was preggie, I felt FAT, UGLY and certainly YUCKS..... your face bloated up, your stomach grows BIG.... ok, my stomach was not so BIG..... but tat makes it worse.... people tot I have a tummy (no one tot I was preggie) till like it was my 6-7 months..... The worse part of being preggie is that you can't play.... you can't JUMP, CLIMB or even do interesting things...... so guess all that makes me a anti-PREGGIE.... although, must admit that some preggie women looks good.... but that it only when they are SLIM & TALL and the only thing that grows is their TUMMY & not their weight..... seen enough preggie people who looks FAT.... I am one of them, so must never get PREGGIE again!!!!
Enough with my random tots..... Tomorrow is Ian's first GUG lesson, so I am kinda excited..... hopefully, he will enjoy the lessons and learn new things..... He is too absorbed with his alphabets & numbers..... been neglecting shapes & colours..... must do more on tat 2 topics so he will be more well-rounded..... Sometimes, I think I am too obssessed!!
Till next time..... CAIO......
