As a person who values my life, I am resuming the P-chan stories due to the many fatal threats that have been coming my way.
Dedicated with love to Lai Fu.
The Great White German Shepherd
Once upon a time, 3P-chan used to take this route to work everyday.
A little road, only a metre wide, twisting and turning through the lush thickets of the Black Forest.
The Great White German Shepherd appeared only a year ago. Standing beside the rose bushes, he purred like a kitten, and wagged his bushy tail.
“Cute Doggy!” 3P-chan cooed and made forward to touch his gleaming fur.
“Grrrrrr…” The Great White German Shepherd growled. “Grrr… grrr…” as if saying, stay away from me. 3P-chan retreated her hand and kept it in her pocket.
Then, The Great White German Shepherd started purring again and peeped at her with his large brown eyes.
Such a beautiful and kind-looking dog, thought 3P-chan, he must not have meant to bite me. And she put her hands out, palms down and tried to stroke him again.
“Grrrrr…” The Great White German Shepherd bared his teeth. He snapped at her fingers.
He must not want me to touch him then, thought 3P-chan, so she turned to carry on her journey to work. But The Great White German Shepherd yelped until she turned around again and he strutted from her left to her right, showing off his beautiful fur. Come and touch my beautiful fur, he seemed to be telling her.
3P-chan laughed. What is The Great White German Shepherd trying to do?
And so 3P-chan sat down by a flat stone on the opposite side of the road and watched The Great White German Shepherd as intently as she could, trying to figure out what to do.
365 days passed by.
If I didn't hear the story wrong, 3P-chan had not gone to work since, and The Great White German Shepherd, he is still happily showing off his fur.
The End.

 又到一個星期一
上學的將上學去
工作的將工作去
繼續世界的旋律
望着想要擁有的
握着害怕失去的
鋼絲上尋找平衡
故作勇敢卻心疼
表現不出的快樂
隱藏不住的鬱悶
來得比從前自然
這也算惡性循環
我逆風的長頭髮
我逆流的自由式
聼來刺激又大膽
好配我平平凡凡 -----------------------------------
*Disclaimer*
Hey! I'm not deliberately exuding this morose mood in my blog! This post was borne out of a combination of the right time and inspiration. And as with all 'literary expressions' (as HW put it), it might be reflective to a certain extent but it sure doesn't make up my entire pie. So cheers!

Last week has been pretty fun. It was ZJ’s holidays and JY and I took it upon us to ensure his utmost discipline in studying; I suspect he secretly enjoyed it. We went in to JB for an intensive studying trip, or so we planned. The two pigs were still sleeping when I composed part of this blog entry while looking forward to breakfast. Hee hee.
I think ZJ really did a lot more work than he would normally have done and perhaps now he can understand that he has the capacity to study when he put his heart to it. As JY said, studying is a sacrifice but, ZJ you have to do it for now! And you can do it!!!
I’ve never been very happy with the education system in Singapore. I’ve always felt like I’d been herded into it, the extra limb chopped off to fit into their mould of a worthy being. But the alternative is no easy way out, most of the time it’s too big a risk to take. Such is the pains of reality in Singapore and possibly a large part of the world. Try to think of studying as a branch of filial piety then, since it’s what our parents want us to do all the time anyway. I am grateful for the opportunity to receive education, just not for the monotonous content and the lack of choice. Oh, and the boring teachers. (Better cunning than boring, isn’t it?)
There’s a fundamental difference between being in JB and Singapore and that is, that my parents were not there to quietly monitor my slackness. I’ve been meaning to say this for sometime now. I feel that there’s an invisible haze of pressure following me everywhere when I’m in Singapore. I know that some pressure is good and I will handle it, but I need just a little while more to recuperate. Although my current situation seem to be cause for worry, I don’t think I’ll remain problematic for long. Really.
And as I type this, I’m aware that I’m telling it more to myself than anybody else. Well, I do have a knack for talking to myself. Hee hee.
Oh well, all things big or small, bad or good will blow over in time to come. Time is the antidote because when they all become memories, it’s just gonna be good :)
Yay! I found two photos on Little Prawn that I think look pretty nice. The one with HW was taken with HW’s mobile and the one with JY is taken with erm… JY’s mobile… ZJ’s famous ‘No stress. No Worries. Just TUITION’ photo was taken at TCC the other night, the moment when elemental lights emerged from his back (cannot see from this picture).
For the uninformed:
elemental 1. wild and powerful; like the forces of nature (the elemental fury of the storm) 2. basic and important (an elemental truth)

 Oftentimes, before I fall into sleep, my mind is filled with little snippets of interesting dialogue or scenarios that keep me awake. I would think to blog about them the next day but alas, I will lose them all to the deep, dark night and as daybreak comes along, I haul an empty head awake.
The two seconds when I first rouse from sleep is perhaps my most innocent and pure self, (as what Justin had said in an interview). And I think it is true. But the fun only kicks in at the third second when my brain fills up with memories of the long and short term and I remember that yesterday and today are reasons to smile. I’ll need five more minutes to indulge in this semi-slumber. A gratifying way to wake up.
Then there were times, when waking up was a nightmare, when the impending day meant responsibilities that I dreaded or consequences that I feared. There were times when I wished I could melt into my bedsheet and go back into the land of reality. Because, after all, dreams are my reality lalalala… haha! You all know that song?
Recently, it has been ok. The nights are not that bad, the difficulty in falling asleep has become a habit that I can work around. Sometimes I’m kept occupied to the point of drowsiness and it’ll probably take thirty minutes from then. I also know that if I really tire myself out in the day, I’d probably sleep easy. I went swimming on Monday and was dead tired when ten o’clock came around, only to wake up three hours later… feeling well rested. So that was good.
Anyway, there must be a gazillion serious, important things happening in the world right now, yet here I am blogging about my sleeping habits. Haha! Ooh… my nails are growing too, have I told you that? Haha!
Ok, ok, I actually baked yesterday! I took out the trusty ol’ F&N file for reference and ended up with little fairy cakes. Oh, I really mean FAIRY cakes. Hahaha! The narcissist wrote my name on this one! To tell you the truth, this is the only one that I bothered to take a picture of because piping the cream took some effort so later I just spread it all out on top. My tuition kid (he’s only ten years old) got to try some of the cakes (nice or not?) because he had been such a good kid!!! Because he blogged about me!!! He wrote some things that were true (sing well, innocent, patient… the usual…) but there were also some lies (me? cunning? how on earth?). I guess it’s up to me to steer him away from such vices (such as lying) from now. I am, after all, his tutor… heh heh heh…
Oh, and for somebody who totally doesn’t deserve such luxury, I am very lucky. Ming bought me these!!!
 I AM STILL A SONY FAN!

I’m back! Yoohoo!!! I’m home!!! Have I announced that yet? I’m back in Singapore! I’m finally home!
Gosh, I just realized that I have not, as I should, announced my arrival with aplomb! But you know I’m back, you know it, and it has been a few months but still, I need to give a whoop (whoop!) and say it again. I’m so glad to be home! So, so, so happy!!!
So glad to be back where I can have a life, I mean like a normal life… like go out and have things to do!!! And be surrounded by onz people!!! I feel normal again, well, almost. Anyway, here are the overdue pictures taken at the airport, the day I came back.  I saw for the first time in my life a live ultrasound scan the other day. Exciting! Jane, I’m documenting this for you! It was with much excitement that the three of us (Daddy, Mummy and Fairy) sat at the waiting area of the ultrasound department. Ok, the wait wasn’t that exciting… while Hendry (Daddy) managed to charm a kid, all I got was an article on eating disorders!!! Argh!!! When I read the article and said, “Wahlao, so scary.” Jane (Mummy) actually replied. “Yah, that’s why you don’t become like that.” Argh!!! Misunderstood again!!! Hendry, what have you been telling her!!! Ok, never mind. Oh and no prizes for guessing who Fairy is!!! Lalalala… hahaha…
Then the Scanner (hahaha, I don’t think she’s a nurse but she’s not a doctor… she’s the person who does the scans) came and said it was Jane’s turn. “Your husband can come,” she said… huh… then me leh??? “Only one person at a time in the room, because it’s the delivery room…” Ok, delivery room DAI SAI LOR!!! But Hendry said he’ll go see first then come out so I can go in. YAY! Thanks!!!
When Hendry came out, he was all smiles… should have taken a picture of him! I went into the delivery room (it’s not that small, dunno why the both of us can’t be inside at the same time) and there was Jane on the bed. It was dark. The whole setting was strangely familiar… like, I just expected it to be something like that, other than the darkness. I didn’t think it had to be so dark. I felt like I cannot talk too loudly.
The Scanner then showed me the lungs and liver or kidney (don’t remember)… but, “Boy or girl?” Jane asked her to show me… so she showed me, “There! That’s the girl part.” She said ‘girl part’, those was her exact words lor… snigger… hurhurhur.
I saw little Luo En’s heart beating… so cute. Who could have imagined a strange gray/black, somewhat bean-shaped image can look so cute and so alive? I can’t wait for June/July to come when Luo En can, miraculously, bring even more joy into all our lives! I know all of you children are enthusiastic to try out your new names too… pigs, moon, hobbs, jeans (??), witch… yeah… hahahaha... It’s gonna be so fun!!! And Jane, we’ll all be here to give you the support you need! I feel so proud of you to have taken this big step! Ganbatte!!!
