Yipee!!!! I Got "The Last Word"!!!!
A thousand hugs and kisses to Jilly Beans!!!!! muaks!! Kudos to you kiddo!
Drum roll please............................the last word is CATARRH. Pronounced [kuh-tahr]. It basically means inflammation of a mucous membrane, esp. of the respiratory tract, accompanied by excessive secretions.
Maybe they only came out with this word when Jilly Beans was in school. Didn't exist in my time....:P
Thanks again Jilly Beans!!!

For A Professional Finish
This is the best so far and I recommend anyone who is trying out a DIY waxing. Compliments of Sarah, we tried this one out by Veet. The results....fantastic! A smooth and flawless surface! Oh and here's the proof....tee hee!!!
Btw.....if you're wondering....it's the armpits!!! LOL!
The Last Word
Everything went so well, so smooth. Every word fell in place and we could almost smell the first prize money of A$400 coming our way!! We could even find the word for Ethiopia's capital......ADDIS ABABA! Who would have guessed right? But alas....we are stuck! Such a simple clue yet it's costing me sleepless nights and I was even dreaming of what the bloody word could be! Who knew Crossword Puzzles could do this to a person....lol!
So a thousand kisses to anyone who can tell me what this last word is....ppppplllllleeeeeaaasssseee!!! The clue - Nasal Fluid. A 7-letter word _A_A_R_

So Nice to Have Sarah Back...Coz......
First and foremost, Zac has found a new target!!! hehehehehe.....
Kidding lar!!! We're not that evil but seriously, I guess coz he's not seen her for almost 3 months, he can't wait to come back from school everyday to play Snakes and Ladders with her. So sweet. Ha...there were even days when he didn't even want to go to school coz he just wanted to play with his Aunty.

It's CNY and I am in Australia!!
boo hoo......no reunion dinner, no oranges, no he peow soup, no pineapple tarts, no ang paos & the top of the list....NO BA KWA!!!!Apart from the food, I've always loved CNY and X'mas. It's the time where family members (and I mean the entire clan) will come together to eat and be merry. We've missed Christmas and Chinese New Year so far...so depressing. Oh and of course Andre and I miss the gambling...tee hee!
Mum cooked Chap Chai, He Peow Soup, Chicken Curry, Babi Pong Teh. yum yum! She'd most probably cook more if we were there.Here in Perth, CNY came and it was like any other normal day of the year. All was quiet as usual. No half day for Andre or Zac. No excitement of getting up bright and early to get ready for visitations. No calls from friends to plan for the next earliest gambling session. Sigh...just another normal day.
Well anyways, here's wishing everyone back home Xing Nian Kuai Le, Wan Shi Ru Yi & Gong Xi Fa Cai!

First Day at School
The day we've been waiting for finally arrives. We all woke up bright and early to get ready (actually, I had to wake up earlier to prepare breakfast).
Surprisingly, Zac woke up excited. Brushed his teeth, had his shower, breakfast, did a poop and was all set to go. Not a sound of whining nor a drop of tear.
School is like a 5min drive from home. It was packed by the time we got there at 8.30am. School starts at 9am actually, but being Singaporean, the "KS" syndrome automatically kicked in and I wanted to be there early to check everything out and talk to his teacher. The first funny thing I noticed on the way in the carpark was that alot of parents were carrying tissue boxes and kitchen rolls. I realised later that they don't provide them for the children. Weird though...seeing how school fees are like $1.4k a year and we have to bring our own tissue paper.
School here is sooo different from Singapore. There is so much excitement in the air, no crying, wailing from the children or parents yelling at their kids. Everyone there looked so experienced. It's like this was kid #3 attending Primary 1 and Andre and I were the only newbies around. So like copycats, we looked around and followed what everyone else was doing.
Had a short chat with his nice, young teacher, Miss Maslin and she tried her utmost best to reassure us that Zac will be fine and she'll look after him just fine.
9am and the school bell rang. Andre and I noticed we were the last set of parents to be in the class. Quickly gave our hugs and kisses and walked out. Zac was looking around but I think Miss Maslin somehow mananged to get his attention. We rushed out of school and waited in the car park. 10mins went by and all was good. Phew!
Kan cheong me kept my mobile on me the whole day but wonderfully, there were no calls from the school.
Was outside his class at 2.50pm, so were the other mummies and daddies. It seemed like everybody knew everybody and were so happy to finally catch up as their children attended the same school. Me? nope..no one to gossip with yet.
School bell rings and out rushes all the children, happy to see their parents. All except Zac...waited for like 3mins but still no Zac. So I walked into his class and there he was talking to Miss Maslin. Waved at him and he wasn't even excited to see me...:( Only when he was done talking to Miss Maslin that he decides to give me a big hug.
We weren't even out of the school yard and already Zac was telling me how much fun school was. He even asked me how come I came to pick him up so early. Can't believe my ears!!!! Finally he likes school!!!!
