Updates on November 2009(2)

14 November 2009
Today would be 2nd last lesson for Advance Vocal Singing Class. It would also be the last day I would see Tongtong at Music Clinic.

Since I promised to give her a present, so I will have to fulfilled it.

Went to Toa Payoh as I managed to take Off due to MC. Remembered she love Hello Kitty like I do. So I guess whatever I bought for her, she will love it.

So I choosed a Hello Kitty Mouse and a Hello Kitty Nailcliper for her. Wrapped with Hello Kitty wrapper.

When I reached there, I passed her the gift. She at first thought I tricked her when I told her I have a present for her. But later when I handed her the present, she was shocked.

When I asked her, why don't you opened it and see. When she opened the present, her shocking expression told me that, my present was great for her. So now when she use the mouse, she remembers me. When she cut her nails, she will remember me also. :D

Wish her have a great time when she back to Hong Kong with her mum and be back to meet us one month later. :D

Wonder what was happening, I was sneezing the whole day. Planned to tell Lawrence that I decided to work till end of November and quit. But when I reached office, only Florence and Peihoon working. Plus me will be three staff.

After lunch, I already no voice. So sad. When Lawrence asked me why I have not been picking up calls, I told him, I lost my voice. At the same time, I told him I wanted to resign. He did not ask me stay. Maybe he knew I do not suit here.

Luckily all went smoothly till 7pm and I am back home. Went to see a doctor and end up with 2 days MC. Terrible flu and throat infection. :*(

18 November 2009
Today was 1st day of my MC. Texted Lawrence said that I will be taking 2 days MC. He did not replied.

Was very drowsy and hungry. Pulled myself to cook porridge. End up become rice. Haiz....

But not bad la. Managed to make it into 2 bowls. Was very full and took medication. Hopefully I get better soon.

Since was not sleepy yet, so I login to Facebook and Aunty Lucy Chatroll. Was chatting with them till suddenly heard heavy rain sound. Felt so cosy and medicine works. I am feeling drowsy again. So went to sleep for a while and woke up at 5plus to play facebook again. Facebook addict....

Then watch tv programme from 7pm till 11pm and went back to facebook and chatroll. Lights off at 1am as CQ took over Jie's shift and worked till 1am. Didn't tell him I was on MC. Jus sms and hope he can give me power jab to get rid of flu. :D

19 November 2009
Day 2 of my MC. Flu did not get better. Ironically, I found out my friend also having flu and was asked to take the H1N1 jab. End up she have to stay home till Friday.

For me, I was worried, if I still could not get back my voice by tomorrow, I have to take 3 more days of unpaid leave.

Cough did not appear when I visit the doctor. Hence, I did not have any cough mixture. Neither do I have any left over from last time visit. Stubborn me thought it will get better by itself. Lets pray.

Chatted with Aunty Lucyians and I feel much better after medication. Only that my voice was still no where to be found. Haiz....

20 November 2009
Its FRIDAY. But not a day for me to celebrate. I texted Lawrence to tell him I need to take 3 more days of unpaid leave. What his reply was a surprised for me. He told me, since I did not do anything productively, last Tuesday was my last day of service. In other words, I was being fired.

First time in my life, I was being fired because of taking 5 days of unpaid leave due to sick. So sad right? But I cannot blame him as he needs to plan his schedule. I was the one who caused him to replan all over again. Well, have to take it and look forward. So right now, I have to keep from my mum till next week then tell her.

Today I heard another bad news. My grandmother, my mum's mum, who had 2 times stroke, cannot hear, cannot talk, cannot see and cannot feel on one side of her body, is hospitalized again. The doctor said to my uncle, if this time she could not make it, they will not saved her and let her go.

To us, it will be a relieved for her as she had been bedriddened for years. The cost of her to sleep in the Econ Medical Care was huge every month. Seeing her with the tube in the nose, which is the only way to feed her, I was very saddened.

Although we did not say, but we knew, let her go is freeing her from suffering. No doubt we all cannot bear to let her go. But keeping her alive is making her suffer more. Maybe she wanted to tell us, it is time we let her go. I was actually wondering am I inhuman to think it will be better for her to die now than to prolong her suffering to years later.

After visiting her at hospital today, I was even sad and hoping someone to take her away to end her suffering.

I asked kor and some of my close friends. They said although I really love my grandmother, but seeing her suffering was painful. So it is really not a bad thing if she were to leave us now. It is just a pity that she cannot see us for the last time. She have not even witness my marriage.

What should I do?

21 November 2009
As I was not working and I could not bring myself to tell my mum the truth. The only thing I can do was to act as if I am working.

So I left the house at 11plus before my father wakes up. Left for home to locate the venue of my interview on Monday.

One was somewhere near Upper Paya Lebar. Was not very convenient to get to there as I need to cross an overhead bridge and walk through the 2 coffee shops. Walk 5 minutes to reach the Trivec House. Was still thinking should I give it a miss as it was very inconvenient to travel from my house to work.

The second one was not bad. Near Kovan MRT Station. Need to take 112 and will stop almost at the doorstep. Maybe I will choose this one.

After patrolling around these two interview places, since there was some free time before I head to Music Clinic for lesson. So I decided to pop by Rivervale Mall to catch Chong Qing hosting for the Rivervale Mall event.

He did not noticed me as I was hiding. When I received a call from Lynn Jie, I was almost no voice. But I told her I will hide from them. In the end, she spotted me before the event ends. But I did not take photo with CQ at all. After that, I head to Music Clinic thinking, CQ might not see me just now ba.

Sad to say he did saw me and even asked me to take photo with him. But I walk away when he turned his back to talk to the crew members. I sneaked out and left quietly and head to Outram for my Music lesson. On the way, I texted Lynn Jie and Uncle Feng to say sorry that I have to leave early.

Today was the last lesson for Advance Vocal Singing Class and also our Assessment. Sad to say I still have not gotten back my voice but did not wish to delay the lesson anymore. I decided to go ahead.

It was a very wrong decision. When I reached, I was told it was Singing Assessment and we have to prepare a song which we had learnt for the past three months.

I tried but still failed to hit the high notes which I usually able to hit. End up gotten 51/100 for the whole assessment. Was very disappointed in myself. But Weiqian Jie say, assessment is just a check for us where we need to improve. What we need to do is to practice more.

Well, although I agreed with what she said. But cannot help to feel disappointed in myself. Maybe I really should choose Hen Xiang Ni instead of Wo Hen Wo Ai Ni.

Weiqian Jie say she missed my noisiness. Without my voice really something is missing. Weiqian Jie, do you know your words touched my heart? Glad to know you from Music Clinic. No worries, I will be better once I got back my voice and once again sing sing sing. :D

22 November 2009
Today was Aunty Lucy appearing on stage. I told a lie again to my mum saying I am working from 12-6pm. Actual fact was, I am going to Rivervale Mall to standby for Aunty Lucy.

Saw Lin Ru Ping. She was so funny and she was also a great singer. The getai performance was not bluffing wor. I finally seen her singing anytime and anywhere. Before that was 2 students from Intune Music School performing. The sing few songs solo and 2 duets. One hokkien duet and one chinese duet(Ni Zui Zhen Gui). So nice that I was very touched by the songs.

Than Ru Ping Jie played the Q and A game where she picked contestants and they will draw from the glass cup to see what was the questions. Each will get a $10 Capital Land voucher.

She was so funny and really bilingual. She can speak Hokkien, Hainan(even I also dont know), Cantonese and even Lian Bang language. So funny and made us all laughing.

But got one Aunty which make me very hot but sad to say I cannot even defence myself. She blame me for moving here and there. But I was not on purpose. As the kids in front was the one who caused me move here and there. She cannot see and scolded me. So I moved behind them.

When the kids were playing around, she started to say one of the boy and said they have no manners. Anyway, it was other people's kids. Her tone to me sounds like scolding. A boy almost cried when she told him off.

Well, if you think you cannot see properly, might as well move in front and see. Kids are like that what. They tends to play around. Just close one eyes can liao what. What for made they day so miserable? Anyway, just want to stream my unhappiness for this matter as I think that Aunty was too much lo.

Then I saw Jianmei and Yuki came. So I went over to their side and we watch the students from Intune Music to perform for us again while waiting for the next event to come up.

Than was the eat chicken wings game where they will choose 6 contestants to eat as much as they can. Eat the most will win. In the end was a guy who won it with 6 chicken wings eaten in 2 minutes. That was fast.

Next was the host Bryan and Rivervale Jumbo Queen was picking contestants for the game. Bryan picked me up and since I have nothing to lose, so I went up not knowing what will I be playing later.

It was the burst the balloon game to answer the questions. To win, you must get 5 hearts. I was so lucky to win the 1st prize-$100 Capital Land Vouchers. So surprised and cannot believe I won it. :D

Then we waited for Aunty Lucy to arrive and they find 3 aunties age between 40-50 years old. To do catwalk and try to take over the Rivervale Jumbo Queen. So funny.

Than was finally appearance of AUNTY LUCY!!! :D

It attracts a lot of crowd as it was not usual for Aunty Lucy to come in her whole dressing. Even for the autograph session, it was also not Aunty Lucy but CQ appearing.

She asked lots of questions and gave out 2 Aunty Lucy Telemovie posters with autograph on it and 1 poster from U weekly cover page. After that she asked questions either related to the telemovie or Rivervale Mall. Jianmei won the foodfare vouchers from Aunty Lucy. I can see she was very happy to see Yuki, Jianmei, Uncle Feng and his wife to come down and support her. We took turns to take photo with her. Before she left, she requested to have all the kids up on stage and take a photo as a whole. Then she will move over to side stage to sign for those who bought the DVD for autograph.

She also promised that there will be an autograph session coming up soon but she do not know the location. She was very happy to learn that the DVD was sold out at Rivervale Mall. I can see she was very famous and happy for her. All her efforts did not waste. AUNTY LUCY ROCKS!!! :D
