Disclaimer: Long post ahead. I had to Google search adjectives starting with S  in order to come up with the title because I wanted to sound a bit more classy but I went with something simple and easily understood anyway (since that's the whole point of blogging to an unknown group of people - to be understood). Like the title suggests, today was pretty much a social  day for me. ☺ I woke up slightly past 10AM to a reminder from a colleague that I had to work this afternoon. I had absolutely no clue what she was talking about initially until I went through the conversation I had with my boss then I realized I agreed to relief a class of P5 Math from 12 to 2PM, which I did. Thank God I woke up in time. I haven't gone back to the Khatib branch in a long, long time so I wasn't sure if I was going to recognize the kids but all went well thankfully. I still remember the days I spent working at the counter, talking to all the parents and building rapport with the childr...

Finally put my mind to down to dedicating a post to my favourite fur-friend. ☺ Most of you, by now, should already know I've a dog, which I affectionately call Baby  or Shelty . He's been such a great source of strength and comfort to me since he stumbled into my life and that's probably the main reason why I'm penning this post - I want to remember him. Shelty's been with us for… close to 9 years now. We first brought him home when he was merely 7 months old. He hasn't changed very much since then. Judging from his name, Shelty is a Shetland Sheepdog. But, unlike the local ones you see, Shelty's pretty big . He was born and bred in Australia and although we were told he's a pedigree dog (meaning he's pure breed), we suspect he's a cross between a Collie and a Shetland Shelty, fully grown It was Vesak Day 2006. I remember because I had just entered Sec 1 and days before, my school arranged this event for us to purchase our tablet PCs...

A bit belated but here's wishing all mothers:  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ! I've always believed these set dates (e.g. Father's Day, Mother's Day, etc) are pretty over-commercialized but they have their purposes, especially for those who live every single day forgetting to be thankful to your mother. For me, I'm generous with my ' I love you' s. I make it a point to tell Mama I love her at least once every day, usually before we both go to bed. Mama is really… a wonder-wall to me. She raised the 3 of us on her own when Papa passed away suddenly 14 years ago. I was too young back then to understand what that meant but now I sort of figured how hard and challenging it must have been to bring us up. I'm really proud of Mama for fulfilling all the duties of both a father and mother. ❤ Unfortunately, though, we didn't celebrate Mother's Day this year because Mama was busy completing her coursework. She's been working hard the past 6~7 weeks,...

Before posting, I'd like to share the following music video by Jay Park.   Jay Park is, by far, one of my favourite  solo male artist. ☺ Metronome  has been on replay ever since I first heard it two days ago. What makes the song even more awesome is the fact that Simon D and Gray are in it too! I'm so proud of Simon D for making his comeback in this song. I've always wondered what would happen to his music career ever since Supreme Team disbanded last year but hearing him rap again has got to be one of the best ways to celebrate the end of this semester. ☺ I also really, really love Gray's part. It's just so… amazing. Anyway, enjoy the song and spread the goodness! Moving on to what I'm about to share. Today marked the last day of Y2S2. Not that there's nothing left to school but I've officially ended all my lessons and what's left are the written papers and my listening and oral test for Jap. Other than that, I guess I could ...

Yes, I finally, finally  am willing to update the site on the last part of my vacation in Cardiff. ☺ 5 July 2013, Friday The siblings came to join us! ♥ Aunty Shyam and I waited close to an hour for them and I couldn't express how excited I was becoming with each minute passing. (I think everyone now knows I am extremely  close to my sister which explains why I couldn't wait to see her.) And when we finally reunited, I couldn't stop smiling! We drove home and it was almost lunch time. While Aunty Shyam and I were out waiting for the siblings, Aunty Su and Mama cooked lunch so there was literally a spread awaiting us when we got home. ☺ After that, we asked the brother what he would like to have for dinner. This being his virgin experience away from home, we had to make sure everything fell nicely into place (I say we treated him like a king ). Anyway, he said he felt like doing a BBQ and that was what we did! Everyone else went out to Asda to get whatever ingredient...
