Study break

haha....just came back from my 3days 2nights studying frenzy from my aunt's place....it was a rather peaceful time without my annoying my sister bugging me all the time...really enjoyed studying there...could feel that the facts are actually going in...haha..

taught daniel his piano...and he's still trying to breeze through the class without practicing in advance....no improvements from him again...as usual...i wonder isit something wrong with him or is the problem with me...he doesnt' seem to be improving at all....so i made him practice and practice and practice to makeup for all the lost practice time....

he practiced till his fingers got too tired to do anything else other than playing computer games....sheesh...what a lousy brat...he better stop thinking that he can pass the song without practicing...gawd and his posture is atrocious...who ever taught him how to hunch his back like a tortise to play with his chopstick fingers...but at the end of the three 'make him pay back those missing practices' days he improved one teeny weeny little bit its not significant but he did at least improve...sense of accomplishment for not wasting my aunt's money...haha...

one the 2nd day of practice he improved a summore so i decided to reward him with a few hours outing to hg mall... we went to the library for the kids to borrow and return their books and then we went grocery shopping at the ntuc in the basement to get next weeks supply of food for her household...she shopped there for about 2-3 hrs +...and only after this experience did i understand why my aunt had to scrimp and save on all the luxuries....her family is not big(4 ppl) but she has to do grocery shopping for 6 ppl coz of their (live-in house help and her daughter)...even after we scrutinized the shelves of munchies and compared the prices of the items they were getting...the total bill came up to a hefty sum of $126++... i was quite shocked but my aunt said that was the norm as their family eats and uses alot...

after buying the grocery shopping we went to bangawan solo to get some snacks for the kids...and that was the appetizers for their KFC dinner...my aunt and i decided to order the family feast, a large ice lemonade and 4 warm plain water....i can't say that the meal was enjoyable or anything coz the kids were giving my aunt a hard time...running around asking for more things....gosh... i didn't know it was that hard to look after them until after these few days...

after dinner we carried everyting home and sorted out the items before we continued studying....wsa quite tired but was motivated to study because we could watch madagascar after we finished doing our 'jobs'...haha the show was really short but was packed with funny jokes and actually had a meaningful message within....haha...strange that i couldn't identify a hero in this particular show...but i love alex the lion...find that marty the zebra is stupid...
sigh....

i really joyed the comapany of both my cute and charming cousins daniel and hugo...the former's a stubborn brat that doesn't listen to anyone unless they have the cane in hand while the latter is a naughty little imp that thinks he can smile his way out of doing things like helping out with the chores...reminds me so much of the past...when i didn't have anything but cartoon timings to bother about...haha....i like to say that even with their little shortcomings they are still so much better compared to my sis...that evil girl...has caused more damage to everyone at home than
anyone outside other than my dear knows...she terribly mean to all of us even to my mum...*sigh* i can't wait to get a home for me and my mum to stay in.. and leave her to herself... hate the weird things she accuses us of doing and not doing...all of us got so bored of hearing it that i totally switch of when she starts her daily rants and raves....oh well...what to do she's my sister what...

*sigh* and this concludes the 3days+ i spent at my aunt's... god bless her and her family ....*hugz*
