Encounters with SHD part 2

Remember my GEM kid - SHD (read Encounters with SHD part 1 )

More anecdotes:

1. She said: Teacher, I want to play now.

I refused: After you have finished your work, then I let you play. Quickly tell me, what is this?

She folded her chubby arms and stared at me angrily.

I insisted: What is this?

She stared at me and smiled superb sweetly: I like to look at you, Teacher

Very nearly fell into her trap, I persisted: WHAT IS THIS?

Encounters with SHD part 1

SHD is my GEM kid who is giggly, roundish and cute. I always enjoy the 1-1 session with her. Shared some of the funny anecdotes :

1> She observed teacher R and told me : Teacher I friend you ah, I no friend that Teacher ok.
I flattered by her remark (^_~)


2> I showed her a picture card of astronaut: What is this?

She smiled and said: Teacher, I dont know.

I told her: Astronaut.

She "instructed" me: Teacher, teacher ask me "What is this"

I played along with her: What is this?

She proudly told me loudly: Astronaut!!!

Then I praised her and she smiled broadly till her eyes formed a single line ...☜(⌒▽⌒)☞


3> Showed her a picture of ant and asked her : What is this?

She said proudly: Spider!!!

Showed her a picture of bee and asked her : What is this?

She said loudly: Spider!!!

OMG! all the bugs look like spider to her .... O_O

Good long weekend

I was really looking forward to this long weekend 1st to 4th April so that I could catch up with my beauty sleep ...

1st April - worked half day in the morning and had a Peranakan lunch with SME, peers, CMO, COO and HK guest ET. Overall, the food was below average except the pork chop with fries and the dessert (red ruby) saved the day. I would not go there again for sure. After lunch, went for a Pixel Peel at Vivo and do some shopping there. The after effect of the peel was my whole face like ON fire!!! That's also affect my shopping mood. In the end bought nothing.

2nd April - Sunny day ... because of my "sun-burnt" face, I chose to stay at home to avoid the sun. Practically, eat, laze on bed to read, sleep and play on-line game Farm Frenzy 3 American Pie - got hooked!!! Anyway I managed to clock up all my sleeping hours for the week.

3rd April - GEM day ... to meet my giggly roundish girl SHD. Before the lesson, packed chicken rice from the hawker near Bedok bus interchange. Wanted to try as always see long Q but disappointed as the meat not tender and oily rice not fragrant. Anyway, I always enjoyed the 1-1 time with SHD. During debrief, J bought some buns and bread as refreshment. I tried the cream bun and milk bread. I like the cream bun as was yummy! Now I have 3 choices from that bakery : Curry, Sardine and Cream. After TC, we went to T2 for dinner - I had Claypot Fried Tom Yum Tang Hoon. We went to T3 for la-kopi - I had Milo Dinosaur with aplenty of Milo Powder on top!!!

4th April - Rainy day ... woke up at 5.45am for the shoe trial at ECP. It started to rain while we were half way there. When we reached, there was not a van or shoe in sight. We saw 2 guys in red top and 1 gal in pink top loitering around Carl's Jr. Then the gal wandered home. Left only 3 of us and the 2 guys still faithfully waiting for the shoe trial to happen. Then at 7.45am, we saw a Ang-Mo lady with 3 big black bags arrived. 5 mins later, a van with boxes of shoes appeared. But the raining was still pouring. So did some warm ups by using the foam roller. And tried on the shoe with an expert gave us tips and advices on running. I like the shoe; maybe would buy it after my Glide worn out. Attended my usual 2 aerobics classes like zombie; could not remember the steps just followed the ladies in front of me. Retired to my bed early at about 9.30pm ... ZZZzzzzzzz

Collection of April Fool's Day pranks

Didn't blog much in March as busy (and I still am) with my Regional project UAT ... sigh
Anyway I am looking forward to my travel incentive at the end of the project ... FRANCE (hope it can be materialised as doing selection now).

Share some April Fool's jokes -
1. ex-colleague DL : to all friends and family, i have a confession to make. i am gay! and i have been having a relationship with a guy named adam. he's working as a security guard. in this relationship, i am the man and he is the woman...
While personally I think its a joke but not shocked if its a true confession ... he has already PHD -"short-circuited" his brain.

2. ex-boss DL : decided to drop his Facebook account.
This is confirmed a joke as he admitted :Yep. It's an April Fool's joke, but not as good as Googles.

3. little niece stared at me innocently: Gu Jie, do u know what day is today (1 Apr)?
I the Gu Jie stared hard at her : U ate too much till u forgot what DAY is today???!!!
little niece smiled slyly at me: Today is APRIL FOOL's DAY!!!
I the Gu Jie saved face : Of course I know that, I just pretended meh.
