Labours' Day

Graduation Attire

Everyone were so obsessed over the Royal Wedding of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge.  Her wedding gown...hmmmm.  Admired her slender hourglass !!!  Kate's every moves, her every utterances~had been scrutinized by hungry paparazzi.  Bride of the heir to the throne simply can't be camera-shy, rite?

Yours truly was glued to the TV screen the entire Friday afternoon....watching the telecast from Westminsters Abey.  Prince William and Princess Catherine do make a lovely pair.  She has the most beautiful smile.  May both of them live happily ever after.

Admiring the guests' esp the ladies gowns/dresses and matching headgears.  Very formal kinda of attire.  The bride's mother donned on a perfect dress.  So were a few other Royal guests.

Hmmm...mentioning about fashion and formality attire, yours truly is also busy preparing herself for her convocation day next month.  Am searching high N low for a proper good looking slack and blouse to match the graduation robe.  Nah...I don't have a personal designer to secure myself an outfit.  Gotta look for it myself which is pretty time consuming.  Should I opt for ready made straight from the rack or something special tailored made..?  hmmmmm...still pending...

It's a package....Hairstyle, new specs, new shoes....oh...don't you think I'm also preparing for my big day ?  Any suggestion, dear readers ?

Misery Days

It's THAT time of the month again.  Hated the discomfort, hated the ugly feeling inside.  The bloated-ness, the uneasiness underneath, heaviness abdomen and extreme disgusting sensation.   

Sigh….

Just made myself some warm ginger concoction…and yet the discomfort still persists.  I always dreaded this time of the month where my “Tai Yee Ma” comes visiting.  The ill feeling makes everything topsy turvy and usually put my daily activities temporary on hold for couple of days.  

Am super tied up with my school duties.  Untangled reports and files.  Am also busy training my “Action Song” team.  The competition is merely days away yet my pupils still have not master their steps and lines.  Another load on my shoulders apart from my core business @ teaching. After this event..there come the 2^nd term exams.  Still haven’t finish the syllabus, due to my busyness and very much behind time.  Oh gosh !    

All the above spells another dreaded word “S T R E S S”.  Should avoid all these misery. Kept reminding myself to RELAX RELAX.

On a brighter side, am looking forward to my graduation day schedule on 18 June.  Am making preparation for my big day…walking down the aisle to receive a well deserved scroll.  

Better Dinner Treat

Had a lousy lunch this noon.  For dinner, am replenishing my body with something more nutritious (sort off) and better looking and tastier.  More balanced, I supposed.  Salty beancurd pork fillet, Tofu topping with minced meat, Lady's fingers blended onion, Fried mackerel and Prawn fritters.  Not forgetting the onion rings.  Hmmm...a bit too oily and not heart friendly but they simply taste good.  Once in awhile lah....

Lady's Finger with onion

A variety of deep fried goodies

(prawn fritters, onion rings, fish, fries, crab meat sticks)

Minced meat tofu



Everything on the table



Ready to savour dinner

And end of the meal, fruits of mango and pear.  And hearty carrot milk to drain down the oily stuff.   

Fragrant pear and mango

A decent meal...!!!

Quickie Lunch

Long and tiring day in school.  Endless reports to do.  Training my "Sunshine Team" students.  Came back home, dog tired.  As usual no food on the table, no maid to serve me food....as a result got to DIY.   Instant Noodle ala Ann.  Blanch some 'dou miow' @ snowpea sprout (mersed briefly in boiling water).  These greenish shoots are believed to be riched with Vitamin Vit C and K.

Then some tomatoes and oinons.  No MSG as I used my own seasoning of Kikoman soya sauce and some home meade garlic oil.  Sprinkle abit of pepper...taadaaaa...a healthy meal.  Then I had this chicken floss cookies as dessert.  Yummy and filling.  No quite balanced but I'll cook a proper dinner later this evening.
