Jobless Again...

I'm on my long no pay leave and I'm really thankful that I don't have to wake up up 5am and spend more than 3 hours commuting on public transport daily anymore. I'm now just a simple woman, a home maker. Life's simple. Just always thinking about the next meals...

Colleagues said that some envied me. Hubby calls me to quit my job and be a housewife. It's not as if I'm living as a 'Tai-Tai', some rich housewife who goes for facials, massage, shoppings and hi-teas, etc... I must confess that without work, I'm really quite stress-free... I have time to do many other things that I had no time for in the past.

Well, I've finally visited the dentist to get my wisdom teeth extracted and don't even need Medical Leave cos I'm already on leave...

Though now I have all the time in the world, I don't feel like going out. No shopping at Orchard Road... No hi-tea with friends (haven't got any recent invites). Just wanna laze around at home, thinking of bakes and cakes, playing God on my I-Phone (Godfinger)...

Haven't even gone to sign up for my driving lessons and practical tests... Also thinking about taking some Wilton Cake decorating classes, teach tuition to a couple of kids in my neighbourhood, volunteer somewhere, bringing my parents for a holiday,... But thoughts have not transformed into practical actions yet... I'm now living in the slow pace... taking time.... I'm guilty of wasting time...

I had a dream last night. I dreamt of giving birth to a cute little baby, feeding it, taking care of it, loving it... It was so real...

Clearing My Work Station Again

Today is the last day of the school holiday and I went back today TRYING to clear my work station. I realized that it's a mission impossible!

Found things that I've bought still in their plastics. Guilty of buying things that I don't need but thought I need... Boxes of gifts and stationery for children... children books... educational cards games, expired snacks... an ostrich egg...
Incredible amount of stuff I've accumulated over the years for my teaching... The amount of $ I've spent...
I can't possibly bring everything home...

Decided that I'm going to have the GSS (Great Sheryl's Sale). Everything has to go! Well, as much as possible...

Real Riches

My New MacBook Pro

Got myself a MacBook Pro :)  My first Mac! Have been thinking of getting a Mac for quite some time now. Bought it on the Apple Store, with a promotion that gives a free IPod Touch after rebate. So spent most of my time playing with my new toy :)

MacBook Pro- definitely sleek, cool and powerful!

Still finding my way around Mac...

My Beautiful Nieces

Jerome's eldest brother has 3 beautiful daughters :)

Ke Ke & HeHe

Zuo Zuo with her big round eyes...

I've baked a cake for Zuo Zuo for her 1st birthday just so that she can mess it up :P
It was just so funny to observe her responses.
Jerome laughed the loudest and he had such a good laugh...
I'm just concerned whether she'll messed up all cakes in future...

Ke Ke, a book worm, appearing as a silly monkey...
This is actually a very interesting book with a hole for all the animals :)

He He as a grizzly bear...
