Not sure if she really enjoy it, but I will always seek her opinions on the music or whatever modification i have done to the amplifier, cd player or headphones. She has got really sensiitive ears, but i guess most women are more sentsitive to audible differences.
I think she is enjoying it... :p

Mummy
“ah boy, come take the bag to clear the rubbish bin”, mummy calls out. I could still remember her face then. How I was so afraid of her temper and would coward back in fear whenever she screamed at me or Mayvis.
It was like any other day where I come to mummy’s workplace to help her with clearing up an office or two before we head for the coffeeshop for some coffee and toast. I am usually helping her out with the washing while she goes ahead with clearing the bins.
However, today was a little different. She is slightly late and asked me to clear the rubbish for her together so that we can go for breakfast earlier. I noted her unwillingness and qualms when she said that. That sort of unwillingness made me some what disturbed and I know what she is thinking and I asked her about it when we are done with that particular office.
“Why is it that you seem sort of fearful when you asked me to clear the bins with you?” I spoke softly. “You a graduate mah” she replied, slightly sheepish. I was not really taken back as I was expecting that. I never know that my mum actually holds such views, and considering the close relationship that we holds. I am unable to put this feeling down in words, its just slightly weird, slightly upset.
I went on to tell her that we have no differences, and that education did not make me any different from her. I am still sprouting hokkien expletives during quarrel (although I haven’t been doing so, thanks to Sheryl) and that education also doesn’t mean that I cannot use any of those foul words. I am a human after all.
Why do we bother how people may look at us? They don't know us at all, and probably wouldn't see me at all. It would be better if they sees me, wouldn't it? Never judge a book by its cover, thats all I can say.
We went on for breakfast at Ah Lan’s (not a foul word, it’s the owner’s name) for our usual coffee, and continue our conversation earlier on. She showed me some photos of her and Hilda, one of her close friends, taken on Sunday. They went Pasir Ris to cycle, and I believe she is enjoying herself. Her face glows with excitement describing the things they have done during the weekends.
I really hope that she will maintain this sort of lifestyle, rather then staying out late at pubs, dancing and coming back drown in a concoction of smoke and alcohol.
I just hope that you can take care of yourself, be happy and not be bother by what’s going on at home about daddy. He is rather hopeless and it’s a unchangeable fact no matter how upset or depress you can get.

NEWater Visit 23062007
It was a really warm afternoon and after having spent the night at granny’s place playing with the kids, I am sort of sluggish and was lingering with the thought of not going for the excursion to NEWater Plant with the Class. It’s a science class, you see.
Joelyn went there before and mentioned that it was rather boring there, so it sort of reinforces the idea of not going. However, having missed the class last Friday I do not want to miss another lesson, just in case I missed too much stuff. Though I like science very much when I was a kid, I am not really that good now.
Anyway I went for the trip, and have no qualms about going again. I guess its just in-born, I like trips like that. I could still remember how the trip to Science Centre during those primary school excursion was boring for my neighbor when its eye opening for me.
This place, the NEWater plant is really unique, a little ulu though, but do u know that you can actually go there for free and that they even provide a guide for you; explaining the whole NEWater process, locations, and the water treatment methods etc. Even on a Saturday as well.
I really think every Singaporean, young or old, should make a trip there at least once, it’s a Singapore Success and I am so proud of it.
Go on make a booking or find out more at http://www.pub.gov.sg/NEWater_files/index.html
