My life is sad
My student's writing is bad
The only reason why I'm glad
Is because I have not gone mad
(yet)

Guilty
Darn....I hate to feel guilty about stuff and my mum just made me feel immensely guilty.
You see, she'll buy stuff like ling zhi, royal jelly, vitamin C and etc for me to eat. She even goes to all that trouble to get them in tablet form so all I need to do is to swallow them every morning. She even put it on my table and she has even ever left a glass of water on my table for me so that I can just swallow the damn tablets in the morning. (talk about spoon feeding...*feel bad*)
She just came into my room. Took the bottle of royal jelly tablets and realised that they have expired. It's still almost full. I was hoping she wouldn't start the nagging again about me eating the tablets, not taking care of my health, the stuff is good for me, I don't have enough sleep or rest so I must take care of myself, yadda yadda yadda..... She didn't quite nag this time. She just complained.
"See lah, expire already. Ask you to eat you just won't eat." *shakes head*
"....." *stare at computer, pretending not to hear*
"You ah, very bad habit you know! Buy for you and waste money."
"It's not a bad habit...it's actually difficult to start the habit of eating it everyday..."
"You have the bad habit of NOT eating it. That's all" *sighs*
Then she capped the bottle and threw it into the bin.
Oh my goodness. I really feel guilty. As much as I know that I really need to START the habit, it's really hard! I know mum means well. It's her way of taking care of me. I'm not doing much justice to her efforts by not eating those stuff. It's not even because I don't like to eat them. I actually don't mind eating them...I guess I'm just ....lazy.
When I was little, my mum would make bird's nest once in awhile for us. She'd use the slow cooker to boil the bird's nest. Apparently, bird's nest is best absorbed into the body when you have an empty stomach and when its early in the morning (like pre-dawn). So she would wake us up at 4am in the morning and as we sat on our beds groggily, she'd spoon the bird's nest and feed us. We'll just drink everything up sleepily and go back to bed.
My mum also makes the best herbal soups.
I really don't feel good about this. The bottle of royal jelly pills sitting in my waste paper basket here just makes me feel so guilty. Argh!
Sorry ma.... :-S

Friendship
esnKaren is 10 weeks pregnant! She's due in Feb07 and she'll be migrating to Aussie in mid-07 too. Lots of paperwork to get the migration done, she was telling me.
Karen and I have come a long way since we were in Sec 2. We were in the same class that year (Sec 2C) and we were kinda like the class jokers. She's a really funny person. We'd crack so many silly jokes in class and be absolutely lame and have so much fun!
Our friendship has lasted till today, even after being separated when I went to Sec 3-Science-2 and she went to Sec 3-Arts-1. We've never quite been in the same class or even school after that. She went to Nanyang JC and I went to AC. After Nanyang JC, she flew to Queensland to complete her degree and I did mine at NUS.
In those days, we did not have emails and handphones. Not even pagers (My first pager was when I was in year 2 or 3 in NUS) Karen and I kept in contact through SNAIL MAIL. We'd write long long letters to each other. When we were in college, she'd write to tell me all about the guy that she liked in school and etc. We didn't really talk on the phone much (only when it was like a crisis and she or I really needed advice fast) We maintained our letters all the way till she was in Queensland.
Once we started work, things slowed done alot. Handphones became and norm and we message each other to keep in touch now.
Some time back, when I was down and out and single, she called me up one day and said "Eh girl, let's go. We'll go out and have a good time." So we went to Liquid Room and had some wine. Chatted the whole night about everything. She updated about her broken relationship with some jerk and we shared about how we've crawled out of our misery and our exs were such jerks and how we were so blind to have spent that part of our lives with such jerks. We talked about our hopes and dreams, our aspirations, our families, our friends, etc. We had a good time.
Karen inspires me. She quit her advertising and marketing job to become a full-time yoga instructor. She even opened her own yoga school.
My good friend is going to have a baby. She's going to be in Australia from next year. I'm sure we'll be in touch....be it through email or snail mail.
