Mom and grandma used to tell joke that someone was missing me if I sneezed. And of course I found it hilarious. Recently, I started sneezing continuously for 10 minutes and it happens at 9.30a.m every morning!! My colleagues would come over and offer me medicine but there is no cure!!! I just keep sneezing till my eyes pop and it will subside after a bloody long 10 minutes! I told my mom about it and she joked that it was because she was missing me so much everyday..Gah..

Mom asked me to take more vitamin C and hopefully it works. I don’t want to sneeze and spread my mucus and saliva all over my students’ face in class, especially the one at 9 a.m!!

I am the ‘old bird’ now. Time flies. I still can remember my first day (06/02/06) vividly as I was walking along the concourse. Nobody knew I was a lecturer then and most of them thought I was a student. (some still think like that and I take it as a compliment)

My buddy (with RED shirt and jeans) picked me up from my apartment with his RED COOPER S. So cool…He was my best buddy and mentor but he left the organization a few months later, which left me cold and clueless. Gah..

Guess what, as a ‘new bird’, we are required to write 2 research essays and attend 42 hours of THEC course (Teaching in Higher Education) . Ask any of the colleagues and they would be able to tell you their experiences with exclaimations. Once we passed the course (after 9 long months), we would literally throw a party to celebrate. The course is not tough but time-consiming, especially the 2 research essays.To finish my essay, I took a day off and sat at home from morning till night with tonnes of books on my table. You can read about my colleague and THEC coursemate- miss ene for her experience.

Now, I have passed my assignments!!! That means no more THEC! It’s time to celebrate man..

I missed my family so much and when I heard that mom visited my sister in KL, I spontaneously planned a trip down to meet them. My sister just happened to host a fashion show that I didn’t want to miss the chance to be there. She has been actively involved in event planning and choreography but I didn’t know that now she is also teaching cat walk to her team members. Mmm…

Took a super VIP bus down to KL. I can’t stand coach without personal TV if it is a long journey. The bus was huge and the seat was a snoozer seat! That means I can lie down ‘flat’ on the seat.

My sister picked me up from a shopping mall at Starhill and after a brief lunch, we headed to her client’s shop to try out her event outfit – cheongsum. I love cheongsum and my grandma made 2 cheongsums for me many years ago.

One day before the fashion show (saturday), the rehearsal at Ikano Power Centre. There she is, coaching her team mate to ‘pose’.

On Sunday morning – helping her to prepare her scripts. Did you notice that we both sat the same way?? Sister sister. She has just moved into a new place. It is quite spacious and had a huge swimming pool. Mom was busy helping her to settle down – buying furniture, household goods and kitchen appliances. And it is her second time helping us in a year. First, it was me, and now it was her turn. My mom is forever busy. Isn’t it cool that both of us own a place to stay??? Seriously….NOT!

On Sunday afternoon, and mom and I were so stressed for her. Seeing her rushing and organizing stuff made me realised that my little sister has grown up. No more winding like small kid.

At the back stage.

This is her. The MC of the day. I was actually the makeup artist of the day! Can you believe that? A makeup artist who doesn’t put on makeup for more than 10 times is her life. I was surprised that I actually did a good job!! Ah well…

The show featured contemporary chinese traditional costumes. They were all so colourful and enticing.

The show was indeed a success. I didn’t get to stay for the second show in the evening because I was rushing back to Singapore. Otherwise, I would be one of the models wearing these beautiful cheongsums on the runway.
