long time no see

pls dun wait for my post for aust, cos 1) the digital cam is not wif me 2) i haven't download the photoshop on the pc, hence i cannot edit the pictures 3) most importantly i got no inspiration!!!!
but when i was in australia, i did pen down my thoughts everyday, so that i could juz upload to the blog.... it's juz that i wanted to add pics to the blog, then it's more interesting......

so much about my trip.. i shall keep it in suspense...

now enjoying apple wif mabel... she really likes eating apple.... marcus is the opposite, dunno why he doesn't like apples. thinking of buying a fruit blender to squash into apple juice for him..

tmr is 5th June!

no, in fact, in three hours time, we should be getting ready to go to the airport. well, reason why i stay up so late, well, went to bed with the children, had a nap from 11 plus to 1 plus, then when they are fully asleep, i woke up to check the internet on the various places we are going.

planning it is very exciting.

packed our luggage. it's 2 big haversack. yes, 2 big haversack for a family of 4 for a 2 weeks vacation. well, we were thinking, since we are going to drive around in Perth, moving from places to places, hand luggage or big luggage is not practical. so we managed to squeeze all our clothings, toiletries into 2 big haversack. easier for us to carry also. m&m will each carry their own bag too, with their jacket and their water bottle in their bag. i allow marcus to bring just 5 of his toy cars and mabel her crayons to keep them occupied. will also be bringing the laptop, so that they can be kept busy wif watching vcd on the car ride. i allow both of them to choose 2 of their favourite vcds each.

both of them are cetainly excited to go to aust. can be seen from their eagerness to pack their own bag, allow them to choose their clothing. in fact, after packing the bag, marcus thot we are going to take the plane there and then, he was a little disappointed, had to explain to him that the flight is on sunday morning and not saturday night.

ok, so much for the pre holiday posting. it's already 3.10am, got to go and catch some sleep. juz have this nagging feeling that i forgot to bring something. better go check my luggage again

end of roller coaster

i guess the past few days is like a roller coaster, it brings you up and it brings you down. in terms of personal stuff to settle before the aust trip, it's also the same. just endless things to do....

last nite, pc managed to be ok, now have spyware and firewall. walled it up. so far, no hiccups anymore. now the only thing to settle is the photo editing software. hmmm, that reminds me,thanks for all the suggestions and comments about the IT stuff and the software stuff. thanks, really appreciated all your kind thoughts and comments.

things are quieter today, i juz need to settle one more personal thing before the aust trip and it should be done by today. then tonite and tmr is packing time and surfing the net for more information time. have not change aussie $.

anyway, i'll be off to australia, perth, from 5th June to 19th June. so i may not be updating the blog and when i come back, u can be sure, i'll update wif photos.

one thing will have to be settled after i come back from aust. hmmm, today, my tone seems to be very sober, very neutral and very cool. the thing, oh, 2 things, more of family matters, which i will not elaborate here. (never wash your linen in the public) and if Jingyi of my form class is reading my blog, PLS DON'T SAY I PMS WHENEVER I NAG AT THE CLASS. sometimes i wonder how some of the parents put up with the nonsense of their children at home. i wonder also if the parents nag at them or not. you know who i'm referring to. remember what i say about attitude? well, i will not repeat, becos the card that you all gave me, says that i only say once, never repeat, never two times.

oh yah, i must formally thank the class for the lovely cake and the lovely sabo on the last day of school. yes, i received the video, thanks. can i dun go for your graduation ceremony, becos i think i'll miss all of you and i'll def cry.... wooaaaaa. actually all of you are very thoughtful and nice people. hmmm, the birthday wish i made was for all of you. 4E4 IS UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAYS. and i love all of you for that!

i juz feel that today my tone is like i'm speaking as if this is my last day on earth... sorry.... it's juz my mood now. hmmm, hope this is not my last update before aust trip.... oops, there i go again. positive attitude, come on, sandra.....

this is really not my usual style of writing. ok, i shall stop anyway, it's 8.15, suppose to go for workshop already.

ARRRRGH AGAIN!

ok, pc was repaired, last nite, which is a wednesday nite, i was trying to do my work, read my email, update my blog with pictures about Hi 5 concert on sunday. guess what

Problem 1: i do not have photo editing software after the pc was repaired, hence i could not resize the photo. this is disgusting. so pls bear wif the pics in the blog. if dun like to scroll to see the whole pic, then dun see, juz see half of it, have a more artistic eye for the pics, ok?

Problem 2: i tried to resize the blogging part to make it bigger so that the whole pic can fit into it, but i couldn't understand all the html code. so i gave up trying.

Problem 3: idiot, my pc was infested (note: i use the word infested, not infected) with spyware and adware. idiot advertisements keep popping up and better still, from yahoo site, i was always redirect to this stupid website. luckily it's not a porn site, otherwise my hubby thought i've been surfing porn and get the pc infected. anyway, the final verdict, download the spyware doc 3.2 and then the whole pc hang on me (again! shit! abc... xyz... *#!#)

this time, it's not the screen of death (the black screen). this time is the blissful image, juz the clouds and grass, but the icons didn't appear, the toolbar also didn't appear. by then it's already 1 something at nite, i really give up. and yes, i gave the cpu a kick! stupid!

back to lighter notes,

i will update my blog about

1) bringing marcus and mabel to Hi5 concert on sunday. i took so many pics, even the picture of the tickets, of m&m taking mrt etc. but i guess when my pc is repaired, i'm not in the mood to blog anymore, cos it's already so many days ago, memory not as vivid.

2) my new gadgets.

i'm vexed, sad and frustrated. tired also, so fast 1/2 hour break gone, now must go for remedial and i didn't have time to eat my breakfast. damn it.
pc is ok

but i was trying to edit my sunday's photo, realise i've only Paint to edit the picture and Paint is a stupid software. if i can't edit my photo, then i can't load it into my blog. eekssssss, why pc have to spoil?

ok, 1 photo i manage to do before the pc crash, this is marcus and mable taking the cable car.
