Just went to see my handsome dentist, and finally settled all the anxiety.. Little secret of mine. I'm scare of dentist..
hahas.. I know its funny.. Not scare of doctor, not scare of injection etc but scare of a harmless dentist..
Anyway, it turned out tt the filling in my tooth came off thus that explain the discomfort.. I was all prepare for the suffering to get my teeth filled but it turned out to be pretty ok..
Thought all was done when the dentist told me that he's going to clean my teeth.. :(
BOO~Hate the scaling process.. Almost Died... Glad I'm still alive now and I hope that I will not see you for the rest of this year... :D

At the Beginning
♥
I'm been searching for this song and now I found it :D
At the Beginning~
We were strangers starting out on our journey Never dreaming what we'd have to go through Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected what you did to my heart When I lost hope you were there to remind me This is the start
(chorus) And Life is a road and I want to keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road now and forever A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there whenthe storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure Never dreaming how our dreams would come true Now here we stand unafraid of the future At the beginning with you
(chorus)
I knew there was somebody somewhere Like me alone in the dark I know that my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tear us apart
(chorus)
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

Live the Love
♥
Went to a special needs centre this morning together with the other team-mates from 'Live the Love'..
Rough idea of what I'm talking about..
Actually 'Live the Love' was inspired by an carnival event 'Live is Good', which some of us experienced in Boston..
If you have Facebook, hop over to my photo album 'Boston Day 3', the picts will explained a lot of things.. We all agreed that it was a great event with lots of fun and great elements present for children, families and hipsters like us..
So the really ambitious us, wanted to do something like that in Singapore.. However, due to lots of limitations, a lot of things did not work the way we wanted and planned for..
Thus, after much thinking, brainstorming, reflections, discussion with all the peeps, faculty and the big-shot ppl, we decided to scale the whole project to a really small one..
Though the 'wow' factor aint there anymore, but the ultimate aim have not change. We still want to IMPACT children and families! In fact, I think we went one step further, because we are doing a service for children with special needs..
On that actual day, we will be planning different activities for these individuals with Special needs based on the theme - Eric Carle*.. Games, Story-telling, Craft and DRAMA! It's in caps because I'm in the Drama team..
* Eric Carle is a well-known writer and illustrator for children's book.. And Crystal Weisz is a big fan of his and she owns quite a few of his good books :D*
We have decided on one centre to carry out our plan this late April, somewhere near my place.. And this centre was actually one centre that I wanted to volunteer for before I started this Degree program, for my initial plan was so much focused on working with children with special needs..
But apparently, things changed. And I kind of forgot part of the reason why I embarked on this Wheelock program, not just to gain the leadership aspect but also one the area of Special Needs..
And today, we had the opportunity to be 'attached' to a special needs class for a short observation and interaction with children with special needs.. At that very moment in the classroom, I was rather overwhelmed with all these thoughts that I had before - working and helping these children lead a normal life as possible..
What have I achieved? Nothing.. In fact, these thoughts are long forgotten, until today.. That short stay in the centre, elicited all those thoughts that I had..
And now, I want to go back to my initial thoughts.. But it's kind of too late with my 3 years bond.. And with me shifting far away from this centre in a couple of months....
But still, I know I will find a way.. Like I always do! And I hope that everyone of us can do a part for these under-privileged children and families too! Helping them live a better life..
Yesh! Live the Love!!
Though its an ultra huge challenge to make everything fall in place, I'm glad we, Wheelock Cohort2 are in this together, taking baby steps to IMPACT children and families! :D

B-O-O-K-S
♥
Recently I wrote a short children b.o.o.k recommendation article for an online parent mag..
And within a week or two, my subordinate msg me and told me XXX book publisher (Sensitivity involved, not naming the rather well-known book publisher) was interested in sending books over to the company for me to review..
At first I was over the moon.. Like a recognition to my effort rendered..
Only today, when I received the books from my subordinate, my mind went blank.. :(
It was some wulu-wulu book titles, probably those unpopular ones that nobody will purchase them in the stores.. *sad* thinking that it was some Caldecott Medal or honor books that they were sending over..
But anyway, why will they want to send award winning books when its well-known and sell-able..
They probably place a small hope on me, hoping that I can do a good review and let people look at these books.. Well, let's hope that these books are not-so-bad ones or I'll be doing parents a dis-favor..

The Lovely Bones
♥
Caught the movie - The lovely Bones.. Thought that it was a thriller sort of movie but instead, I was basically tearing from the start to the end..
So many sad scenes in the storyline just made my heart sank.. But I think it was a good movie, totally worth the dollars and cents paid!
Not revealing much, catch the movie and you'll know.. Yeah.. Personally, I will recommend this movie :D

A Random Day and A Random Jog
♥
Had plans to complete some tasks, but the lethargic lazy bum only managed to complete 1 or 2 tasks.. And waste the day away..
And I decided that instead of wasting my day away, I should really go for a jog.. Yeahh.. It's been a while since I last jogged..
The weather was so good today because of the heavy downpour in the afternoon.. I was full of motivation and I decided to run all the way to the nearest stadium and jogged for two rounds before calling a day!
And I did it! *pat on the shoulder* No doubt, the feeling was great.. :D Cleared my mind and straighten out my thoughts.. Makes me a happy girl for the weekend!
After the jog, took my own sweet time to walk back home thus thousands of sorry for the really late replies!
After I got back home, my mum asked me where I ran to.. So I told her that I ran to the stadium.. She was taken aback, although I felt that it wasn't really far..
She jokingly said that tml I will not be able to climb out of bed.. And told me her wicked plans to get me out of bed.. Yada yada and what-not.
When I told my mum tt tml I will be heading out after wrk.. And she exclaimed,
Mum: "No wonder you went for a jog lar! Want to look slim right?" Me: "huh..where got?!" Mum: "Every time when you want to head out then you will go for a jog."
Funny mummy I've got.. hahahas.. but coincidentally, I will be having a feast for tml and on Sunday.. So I guess it will make a rather good excuse for eating more.. :P

I think it is a form of respect to honor what you said..
Say it and do it! Don't take it for granted or get away with excuses..

Careless Me!
♥
I am so careless today.. After lunch, was so involved in the conversation about Universal Studio with the girls that I left my laptop behind on the seat..
Halfway through the class then I realized that my laptop was not with me.. Quickly, I rushed back to the food center. A lot of things was running in my mind various thoughts of not finding my laptop back and the precious photos and music files that I will lose..
Indeed it wasn't there on the seat.. I tried my luck with the aunty at the food store right where my friends and I sat..
No luck! She told me to check with the cleaners or go to the office located at the other side of the food centre..
Still no luck! I was about to give up when this particular cleaner who was standing so far away, caught my eyes..
And I decided, I shall give it a one last shot, one last chance, one last hope to find my laptop back..
And so I asked, "Miss, did you see any laptop?"
The aunty who didnt even look at me, replied in a nonchalant tone, "What color?"
My eyes immediately brightened up at that very moment! If she tell me 'no', I'm sure I'm gonna strangled her.. hahas.. Joking!
I hesitated and said, "Pink"
She then smiled and said, "Yeah lar" I almost died on the spot..
She then lead me to one of the food stall who kept my laptop..
And I gave that kind and honest Aunty a hug for that!
So drama right? But honestly, if I do lose my laptop, I will be really really upset..
There are a lot of important documents relating to my studies and work.. But what are the really really important stuffs are not those documents but it is my precious photos in the laptop...
I am really lucky and blessed, and I thank the 'voice' or 'intuition' that was within me that help me realize that my laptop ain't with me and to give me the directions to find back my laptop..
So funny, but Thank You!

Movies + Farewell for Beth
♥
Caught both movies last weekend
Hot Summer Days & Dear John..
Met up with Chiaz for a mini-CNY celebration, sort of to mark the end of CNY together. We lao yusheng at SakaeSushi, for the sake of ah ne, who nv try it before..
After dinner, we head for movie - Hot Summer Days
I must admit that Hot summer Days does not really belongs to the genre that I like.. BUT! since Daniel Wu is in the movie, the movie is still not too bad afterall, I guess. lols:D
And Da S's charming+Cool outlook really kick off the urge to cut my hair short again..
urghh~ I should stop thinking abt it! If I ever ask you to give comments on me having short hair. Pls dont encourage me at all!!
Coincident, saw QY at the bus-stop! Ok, she saw me.. hahas.. I realized that I can be totally oblivious to my surrounding when I'm with my friends..
I guess that's ok since I am fully alert when I'm on my own..
The very next day, went for mini-class event with Beth our professor and her family.. Last meetup before she fly off back to New York.. :(
Though not all the girls were here, we had a really great time together bowling and feasting together at Marina.. :D Too bad Will, his son had already went back to the states.. :P
After the lunch cum dinner, a few of us had the pleasure of bringing Mae, our professor's daughter for a shopping spree to Bugis Street.. It was really nice hanging out and chatting with Mae. Had fun sharing and helping her to bargain for gd buys.. We parted ways after sending Mae off..
Met up with another friend for movie - Dear John.. A simple love story with no wow factor.. But it is the simplicity of it that I enjoyed..
I controlled my tears well or I will prob have messy makeup after the show.. lols
There's a little twist to the story and I like the ending :D Not a must-watch, but John is pretty much an eye-candy in the show :P
