Northbrooks sure portray a very vibrant environment, with display of students'work everywhere. Even though the standard is not fantastic, I think it's a great culture to have! Met up with their Art teahcer, also Ms Toh :P, HOD & another male teacher, didn't get his name :P We got the deal! Now we need to go down next week to "excit" the kids to secure our class.
After the meeting, which ended at past 3.30pm, my stomach was growling! Just remembered I haven't had lunch! Went to Yishun 10 foodcourt & had a "Ma La Zhu Pa Ho Fun". Quite interesting taste, it sure was appetizing coz of the spicy taste. Huge portion for $4 foodcourt food. Then took the MRT to meet Mum at Aljunied MRT. It was so crowded, I couldn't find a seat throughout the almost 1hr journey & couldn't do my knitting too :( So it was a looong, boring & tiring journey... :( Then the PA made a mistake & kept repeating the "Dhouby Ghaut" announcement! I was really already day-dreaming away so got totally misled by the announcement & missed a stop! :(
When I reached Aljunied, Mum was already there, but I realized we should've met at Paya Lebar MRT instead! I ALWAYS get these 2 stations mixed up! So we took another rid to the next stop & walked to our shoe-makers' factory. This new pair that we crochet onto a leather leather Uncle had given me surely looked much more like a shoe now. Worked out some final negotiation of price & future arrangement, agreed to collect this 3rd pair of shoes & other materials this Saturday. All these are getting real serious & exciting!
Dar-Dar had said the night before that he wanted "breakfast" for dinner. When asked how he wants his egg, guess what? He wants 1/2 boiled egg! Alright, so I'll make fusion breakfast for his dinner tonight! hehe... how strange... Mum joined us for dinner. So started cooking once we got home, while Mum took a slice of bread 1st since it was already almost 7.30pm when we got home.
Of course I did not make 1/2 boiled egg for Mum, I made scrambled egg instead. Wanted to try another of Michael's recipe, Young Sweet Pea with Mint Jam. Stupid jam jar refused to open!!! No matter how hard Mum & I tried, the jar cap didn't even moved a little! We tried heating the cap, tried cloth, tried rubber band, even tried the old granny trick of hitting the cap with a metal spoon, ... it just didn't work!!! So Mum & I ended eating the sweet young peas straight from the can :(
Mum loves the potatoes, so I shared the recipe with her. Packed some back for Dad who came fetch her home after Taxi. Dar got home only just when Dad came for Mum, which was already almost 10pm! Dar was very tired, & I know he is disturbed. He's been rather unhappy at work... :(
Dar, I really hope I know how to help you. But after our talk & discussion, I think we both realize that the root of all problems, is got to do with your mindset, right? This, I guess you need to come to terms with it yourself. I really hope I can share your load. If it's about $$$, I can just take up more classes, or just be less choosy about the classes I have. However, we both know that it's not really $$$ deep down, right? I think you are still "greedy" & wants too many things. Really, if it's just about $$$, it can be solved rather easily. We know I've turned down a few classes. If it's about $$$, all I have to do is to STOP TURNING DOWN CLASSES! But yet you do not want me to take up the classes.
Sometimes, I'm really torned. It really hurts me to see you like this all the time. I want to share your load. However, I know if I take up more classes against your wish, you will also feel very lousy about yourself. I really need you to tell me what to do. But pls do not ask me to just let you be. You know this is IMPOSSIBLE. This is not how 2 people, who care so much about each other, live together. We share our life. It's OUR LIFE....
