One of my pretty things

Was at Jurong Point last week and I was patronizing this cutsie Korean stationary shop. Been there a few times with different people, all of whom were simply intrigued by the stationaries sold. I enjoyed browsing through the items and I have to admit that they are really unique and pretty quirky. But I always thought that I won't find anything that's so worth my buy since cutsie & kawaii stuff are so not my cup of tea. Alas, I was wrong!

Discovered a section in the shop where there was 25% & 50% discounted sale items and I didn't noticed this corner before. Being me, I just zoomed in on that corner, still cynical about being able to find something I would buy. Flipped through the diaries, more diaries and other knick knacks and suddenly I chanced upon this calendar! It looked very simple in design but just pleasing to my eyes. Instinctively, I checked for the price and it was $15! Very immediately, the boss told me that there's a 50% discount for it. Ha! Sweet :) But I didn't buy it immediately as I wanted to be sure I needed it.

To cut the long story short, I bought it. 2 factors:

1. After discount, it was $7.50!

2. The calendar is for 2009 & 2010!

Simply put, ITS ULTRA VALUE FOR MONEY!!!!!!!! Enough said.

I was so proud of my buy that I could not stop admiring it and I had to show it off to Joani! Its seated beautifully on my table now. For sure, I'm not going to make it a white elephant! Its too pretty to just be an ornament :)




The design attached is different for each month and its all my favourite things!

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...
