♥ Jurong Bird Park
After having such a bad month in Nov, I decided to make it better by organising a family outing.
*prayed sibei hard for good weather* - and it happened! Sunday drizzled awhile on our way out but the weather at the West was lovely. I could see the sun and feel the wind :)
Had lunch at Bongo Burger, then bought 3 adult admission tickets c/w panorail ride, 1kid's egg-cellent package (which consisted of admission, panorail and 2 bird feedings) and rented a wagon to pull the kiddos around. All cost ~$130 =.= Family outings v expensive sia.
First stop was to watch Children's Parrot Show at the pool amphitheatre.
Then we headed to look at penguins. Zw v happi cos got air con! lol~ We had mistaken puffins as baby penguins. (I is ignorant kid :P) In fact, I didnt even know there were something else that looked like penguins which are not.. until then. Xavier enjoyed snapping photos of the swimming penguins as well, but most of the photos cannot make it.
We then proceeded to Waterfall station for bird feeding session.
We had to feed the birds with live mealworms. Yucks! Some people lifted the container so high, it reached above my head and when the bird tried to peck the worms away, so many worms 'spill out' from the container. I was uber worried the wriggly worms get trapped in my hair la. wah lieww =.=
Had wanted to proceed to Lory Craft for the next bird feeding and more viewing.. but Zw gave up liao =.= He promised to bring the kiddos back another time. So, we diverted to the water play area to 'utilise' their last surge of energy.

♥ November suayness
I feel this month is a uber suay month for me.
First, had bad gastric flu for 3 days - and it had to be on the days I applied leave. =.=
Second, kena conned by a stupid phonic teacher.
Third, had ultimate quarrel with dear.. almost decided to part ways...
Fourth, lost camera at Boiler's Room. Worst, it wasnt mine!
Although there are nice things that happened, like co. D&D and the smacking fun at Boiler's - that got me so high.. i totally forgot about the camera.
Sigh..
Glad that there are only 3 more days till the end of the month. Maybe I need to bathe with some flowers =D
KNS!

♥ Song to share
我想我并不聪明
我没有你的机灵
在爱情变质之前我没反应
没察觉你的表情
你知道我不聪明
所以才选择放弃
放弃去猜你每一个反应
去猜你是否变心
放弃你 放弃爱情
放弃了所有权利
连自己都知道这不公平
放弃你 放弃自己
放弃了爱的权利
放弃你 等于放弃我自己
你知道我不聪明
所以我选择放弃
放弃去猜该如何留住你
放弃了所有回忆
放弃你 放弃爱情
放弃了所有权利
连自己都知道这不公平
放弃你 放弃自己
放弃了爱的权利
放弃你 等于放弃我自己
放弃你 放弃爱情
放弃了所有权利
连自己都知道这不公平
放弃你 放弃自己
放弃了爱的权利
放弃你 等于放弃我自己

♥ Wasted
Talent Heart Home Learners
My simple wish was for Xavier to brush up his English. From words of mouth, praises of this home based teacher got to my ears and I decided to let Xavier go for it.
$250 per month - an hour a week, not inclusive of materials - is not cheap, imho. But as it was affordable, and after a couple of trial lessons Xavier took a liking to attend this phonic class.. I was more than happy to pay for it.
>$1k upfront payment for a term's fees, a month's deposit, registration and materials. Classes started from end June with Teacher Jenne thrice, then the founder Karen took over. We shifted location from Admiralty to Sembawang. Well, it was still in the North and Karen sounded sincere in taking over the classes to maintain quality of teaching standard (or so she claimed) we relented to the change in environment.
Then, lessons were cancelled subsequently on the very last min, like 3am in the wee hours to say she is sick, or 8am in the morning to say she has lost her voice. Always in the early morning of the day of the class! Xavier's class is on a Saturday morning. Every Friday night he will go to bed anticipating next morning's class, only to be disappointed time and again. To an extend when I tuck him in bed and tell him, "Quick go slp, tmr going for Teacher Karen's class".. he will rebut "but she is always sick.."
Lessons were continuously cancelled for the whole month of August. Then, Karen told another teacher Daphne to take over. Another sincere attempt to show her remorse in causing disruptions to the classes. I was fed up at this point of time. Why do I not show sympathy to an ill teacher, you may ask.
Well, Karen has only herself to blame. She added me on Facebook and I was in full visiblity of her problem with her then-husband cos of a third party. She went on a wild party rebounce in that month of August that she always claimed to be sick. Yea, sick.. probably hangover, rather than bronchitis as she said.
In September I told her that I wanted to withdraw Xavier from the course as it is too disruptive and he wont be able to learn anything from the intermitten classes and change of teacher means he will need time to adjust and adapt to each one repeatedly. She assures me that Daphne will be the last teacher she will be replacing for Xavier's class. She insisted that I have to complete the full term and cannot refund me the money even though, imo, it was her lack of duty to conduct the class in good order.
Well, I relented again and things went smoothly in September with Teacher Daphne taking over. The problem started in October once again, and since October Xavier had not attended lessons until now. On the last saturday that just passed, she claims her husband "just met with an accident and is in icu" 3 hours before Xavier's class is due to start. For a while, I felt that it could be true. I told her I was sorry to hear of this and may God bless him.
Today I found out that she actually deleted me from her Facebook. While her husband is in ICU, she has the mood to log on to Facebook and delete me from her list? Its too much of a coincidence, no? I find it totally absurb and ridiculous! It makes me query that she may be lying about her husband's conditions - to the extent of cursing him, perhaps due to their soured rship? My guess.
This time she asked if I will like to withdraw or continue with lessons, which can only be 2 wks later from now. Well, I took the chance and told her firmly for a refund of whatever bit of money there's left to return. There is too much doubt for me to give her the benefits.
This is totally disappointing!
