Long but uneventful ....

Can you believe its already the end of the month - wow ... And im officially on vacation for a second time .. meetings, cleaning up and preps are discussed and done with yay!!! Aside from a few issues school is over - i stayed in late to complete at least half of the decorations for the classrooms - so when we go back a week before school starts i have much else to do - good huh . So during the holidays its basically lesson planning and surfing the web to make kindergarten more enjoyable ... and since its the final year for my kindergarten 2 - i am hoping to make it extra memorable for them - i wish i could say the same for mine :P i had a pre school teacher from hell - i shall never forget her name nor her face :P she slapped my arm cos i played with paint .. I was six years old duh! anyways, she is probably old and grey now i hope no one hits her grandkids in kindergarten - cos trust me its something they wont forget .. but anyways ....

IKEA opened its second store here in Singapore today - you know that furnishing n accessories store from Sweden. I love the little things that they have for the kitchen, living room like the candles, candle holders, cook ware, glasses and the list goes on - they have things that are quiet unique like a napkin holder which is set like a plate with a metal ball attached to its base to hold it down .. I love looking at their showcases - always gets me dreaming - if that was my room, if that was my kitchen if that was my living room ...

I watched the Amazing Race Asia - this leg of the race took them to Sydney Australia . Lets see they had a choice of going atop the Harbour Bridge or peel 14 kilos of cooked shrimp .. They did a whole lot of walking - i never realized how beautiful Sydney was until now - i think i just saw it as Sydney . but today i saw the park and the ocean and what now - it was really beautiful - would be nice to visit and take in the scenery .. The road block (which can only be completed by one member of the team) was a scary one. They had to swim in an aquarium at Oceanworld which was filled with sharks and other dangerous sea creatures and they had to find their next clue which was hidden there.... nerve wrecking im sure .. At this leg of the race no one was eliminated - though one of my favorite team was due to be eliminated if it wasnt for the non elimination round .. PHEW!!!!!!!!! He panicked under water i think - because of the goggles and breathing gear and due to that they gave up and was given a four penalty.. I am glad they are still in the race ... The couple team from Malaysia came in first this time and the Singapore team came in second place - yay!! go girls!! I had my amazing race fix and im happy ...

Other than that the day was relatively un eventful - though the weather threw a little tantrum - it was windy intially then it started to rain for a really short time and the Mr Sun made his presence felt for sure .. I just hope that it rains tonight .....- cool nights .. snuggle in bed .. the mind travels to far away places to far away people ... Trying to send signals letting them know we miss them ...

Nite nite world ....
