What a Day


Went to market today again, bought some chicken meat and vegetables for soup. Done cooking at 12.30pm. Watched news for a while. Can't concentrate on my work on thesis, so lay down to take a nap. Hubby woke me up and asking me to join him to a dinner with his fellow friends at a restaurant. Arrived at 7.15pm, dinner started at 8pm and done at 9.47pm. It was a nice dinner, first course is 4 seasons, second is mushrooms with scallops and abalone mushrooms with broccoli. Third was fish, then chickens and ducks, prawn, vegetables, rice and desserts.
After that, all of them wanted to go singing at E-box, so we just followed. Sang for 3 hours. Reached home at 1am. Can't remember when is the last time I came home that late. Though, my hubby and I enjoyed the day. It is our first time visiting place like E-box to sing songs, we don't sing, not even in the bathroom (haha...). But enjoyed listening to others. Always have those very negative perspective about places like this.

Zoo Taiping

Going to Zoo Taiping tomorrow. Visited the zoo when Ethan was six months old, now he is 2 years and 7 months old. He can recognized quite a numbers of animals. Hope he can identify them when he sees it tomorrow. Going with our neighbour who has 2 daughters, eldest is 6 days younger than Ethan. Need to wake up early tomorrow to cook for Ethan, better for him to take porridge than taking outside food. Plan to wake up at 5.30. I need at least an hour to cook his porridge and pack up things.

All About Writing

" We usually say 'reading and writing', so it sounds as though I'm putting the cart before the horse. But I call writing the horse. Nothing can be read unless it was first written" Peter Elbow(2004)

"Writing continues to be 'in'. Students are being asked to write in Science, in Mathematics, in Social Studies, in Health & Physical Education, and of course, in Language Arts. The SAT ( Scholastic Aptitude Test) - now requires students to write. Taking the writing test is on longer an option.

Writing is the improvement in student performance in 'every academic area' (Reeves, 2002)

William Zinsser has stated that 'the only way to write is to force yourself to produce a certain number of words on a regular basis', yet, one learns to write by writing, just as one learns to bowl by bowling.

Scaly Skin

Went home yesterday to visit my son. Later in the evening, went home to my father's house to clean the house as my sister didn't go there for more than 2 weeks already. Well, my father is not a good cleaner. I took me nearly 3 hours just to sweep& mop the floor, clean the toilet and wipe the furniture in the hall. My father is a PRP patient, so he has scaly skin as photos showed below. That's the amount of peeling off skin in the hall.
