.......

over the weekend:

-grandaunt passed away
- tuition teacher told my mother that her husband has stage 3 cancer

ah wells. life's fragile. people come and go all the time. it only depends on how well those times are spent together.

..........

anyway, went to the CL seminar with bella and zijin today! from uh 9.30 to 1pm. annoying Bella didnt take her breakfast and we had to trek all over(sorta) SPH to accompany her to buy food for her poor growling stomach. sat in the seminar hall for so long our butts ached and we yawned till we were all practically crying.as in really. i swear tears were on the verge of tracking down my cheeks. sheesh. and to think we paid 5 bucks to go listen to some professional rattle on about how to do well for chinese Os which our chinese teacher specifically recommended us to go.

...........

picked up zijin to drop her off at the toa payoh community library. AND my mam oh-so-cleverly went: "eh. zijin ah, what's your L1R5?"

what the la. so the report book was so clearly not forgotten after all. so much for my wishful thinking. >:( jeez. started whispering stuffs to zijin and mam started whispering (or so i think) to dad too. adults are such copycats i tell you.

*Event of the day

seline's mother plucks vegetables while seline is happily drinking chocolate milk and munching biscuits.

mother says: "se! you see my hand!"

seline, too absorbed reading her papers, didnt bother to look up: "huh? uhm."

mother says: "se! look! my hand's shivering!"

seline looks up in bewilderment: "EH??"

mother lifts up hand and thrust it into seline's face. the hand was shaking.

mother says: "se! i think i have PARKINSON"S DISEASE!"

mother puts down her hand, and the shaking incidentally stops totally.

seline scratched her head, not making head or tail of the situation.

mother turns her attention to father: "papa! my hand's shaking! i think i got Parkinson's!"

father struts over: "eh?! seline make one right! what did seline do?"

mother looks over at poor dear seline, before looking back and saying with wide eyes: "seline punched me!"

*OUCH.

what a family i have.
